Advocacy for Clients: Promoting Action in Your Organization
Professional Context
According to Migration Policy Institute (MPI, 2018) the US “has been the top destination for international migrants since at least 1960, with one-fifth of the world’s migrants living there as of 2017. Despite its long history of immigration, the United States has oscillated between perceiving immigration as a valuable resource and as a major challenge” (para 1). MPI reported that as of 2016 nearly 44 million immigrants were residing in the US comprising 13.5% of the population. Further, according to the 2017 Current Population Survey, immigrants and their US-born children comprised 27% of the US population (86.4 million people).
According to Sue and Sue (2016) reasons for migration include escaping poverty or political unrest and seeking a better quality of life. Yet conditions for immigrants to the US, especially for undocumented immigrants, may include poverty-level wages, sexual abuse or gang violence, and or lack thereof health insurance. Given the large percentage formed by immigrants in our society, it is critical for counselors to understand the historical and sociopolitical factors, cultural and gender characteristics, and resulting implications for effective counseling and advocacy with immigrants and their US-born children.
Scenario
Your Site Supervisor has been observing your counseling practice with diverse clients on site over the quarter. She notes that you have consistently taken care to consider how your worldview influences your counseling practice and that you have also been conscientious in building your awareness, knowledge, and skill of the diverse clients assigned to you.
She anticipates a position will be opening up soon and sees an opportunity for you to showcase your expertise. Since there has been an increase in clients from local immigrant and refugee populations in the past year and the team would all benefit from what you have learned, she asks you to prepare a PowerPoint presentation for an upcoming team meeting.
Since there is a full agenda for the team meeting the two of you meet to develop a brief list of topics that will be most helpful for the team.

What are some emerging technology trends that have influenced your personal choice of an SDLC, either in your experience or in something you have read?

Complete your reflections by responding to all prompts
Requirements Testing
As a project manager or senior systems developer, you are most likely aware that when developing new systems, teams tend to focus on understanding the requirements of the system at the start of the project. Until requirements are known, it is hard to understand design and development components. Beyond this, testing is an essential part of any systems project, no matter what SDLC is applied.
Reflect on the following:
When do you think a project team should plan for testing? Why?
Who do you think is the best resource(s) to conduct testing activities? Why?
Technology Trends
​​​​​​​As an IT leader, you are aware that technology advances rapidly in the current market and can become dated and obsolete quickly. Organizations must keep pace with the evolution of technology to compete and sustain a market advantage.
Reflect on the following:
What are some emerging technology trends that have influenced your personal choice of an SDLC, either in your experience or in something you have read?
Discuss the trend and the influence and effect it had on you. Were there any issues?
Would you recommend the same SDLC if you had to do it again?

Imagine you are a botanist. Below are characteristics of a never-before-described plant species recently identified

1. Imagine you are a botanist. Below are characteristics of a never-before-described plant species recently identified as part of the ‘All Taxa Biodiversity Inventory (ATBI).
Organism 1
Field Notes: Specimen collected from rocks on bank of streams from the Adirondack Park (NY). Plant growth form is more ‘prone’ than upright (plant seems to have little support).
Laboratory Analysis:
Body: Consists of three regions: light brown anchoring tissue (base of plant); Green vegetative area (middle of plant); Brownish-green, stalk-like structure bearing capsule at end (top of plant).
Size: 8 cm in length
Chromosomal Analysis: Bottom two thirds of plant is haploid (chromosome # 10), while top third of plant is haploid (chromosome # 20).
Lignin test: Negative
Cuticle: Present
Leaves: Absent, though they do possess green photosynthetic structures. Contains chlorophyll a, b; B-carotenes; xanthophylls.
Roots: Absent, though they do possess anchoring (possibly absorptive) structures.
Stem: Absent, though they do possess axis—no xylem or phloem present.
Notes: Top third of plant may be separate but dependent stage of life cycle; Capsule at end of plant contains haploid spores.
Life History: Extended observations show that the haploid, bottom two regions of the plant are the dominant stage of the life cycle and produce gametes. The diploid, top third of the plant is a temporary spore-producing stage of the life cycle (sporophyte) that is dependent on the gametophyte.
Question: Explain which domain, kingdom and phylum you believe this plant should be classified in.
2. Imagine that you are a member of a research group conducting research on fruit type and seed dispersal. Your group has submitted a paper to a peer-reviewed journal that addresses the factors that impact fruit type and seed dispersal mechanisms in plants of Central America. The editor of the journal communicates that your paper may be published if you make ‘minor revisions’ to the document.
Question: Why is seed dispersal important in the life of plants? What would be the consequences of having seeds that simply fell to the ground underneath the parent tree? (Editor’s note: addressing this question will provide needed background information to the ‘Introduction’ of your paper).
