Part II Problem Analysis: Students will submit a  paper that demonstrates critical analysis of the community problem and the impact upon the population-at-risk identified in the introduction. The paper will address part II and should show understanding of the population-at-risk, the problem or issue within the community, resources and programs that attempt to address the problem, and macro roles and ethical responsibilities of social workers to advocate and empower the population-at-risk to address the problem. Students will discuss the results of the literature search and present information about the problem and how the literature informs their critical analysis (2-3 empirical sources are required). The paper should address the components below.

Part II: Problem Analysis  

1. Literature Search:
   1. For the problem identified, complete a literature search and find 2-3 empirical journal articles (peer reviewed) that inform you about that problem. For example, if you choose human trafficking as a problem local to your community, your literature search will focus on the larger issue of human trafficking in general.
   2. Discuss the scope and prevalence of the problem based on information from the literature.
   3. Identify the theoretical perspective (if any) discussed in the articles chosen.
2. Macro Programs and Resources, and
   1. What macro programs are currently used to address this problem in your local community? 
   2. Select one program and identify the mission of the program, whether it is a primary or secondary setting, and the assets and resources offered.
3. Social Work Roles and Ethical Responsibilities
   1. If you were a social worker in that program, discuss your macro roles related to the problem and population-at-risk.
   2. Within those roles, identify and describe ethical responsibility to the broader society and specific challenges you may face with regard to cultural competence.
4. Empowerment
   1. Discuss aspects of empowerment including personal empowerment, social empowerment, social support networks, and ways to foster the empowerment of the at risk population within the community.

Read the following: “Choking the Oceans with Plastic,” pages 327-332; “Should We Be More Optimistic about Fighting Climate Change,” pages 309 – 319; “We Are the Wildfire: How to Fight the Climate Crisis,” pages 294 – 302;

Essay 5: What are your own views about the “climate crisis” as Noami Klein terms it? Using a minimum of three articles you wrote about in journals 17-20, or other articles from the textbook section titled “Why Care about the Planet?” (starting on page 291) as support, offer your own opinions about climate change and the impacts we are having on the environment. Even if your knowledge and understanding of the topic does not go much beyond what you read about it in our textbook, you can offer your own opinions based on what you learned from the readings in the textbook, and how the authors convinced you one way or another.

You must include specific examples and details from the text to support your ideas and claims in each essay. Essays should be typed in Microsoft Word using 12 pt font, Times New Roman, black ink, double-spaced, and printed on the front side of the paper only (following MLA formatting). Each essay will be three to five pages in length, or about 900 – 1200 words

Essays must include a title, an introduction, a thesis statement, body/evidence, and a conclusion. The instructor will evaluate each essay using the attached rubric found at the end of this syllabus.

When you include the ideas of other writers, you must accomplish two additional tasks as part of your essay. First, you must create a Works Cited page. Second, the sentences that you write must include citation, as well as clear punctuation showing which words are yours. You will be required to use in-text citations and include a Works Cited page according to MLA guidelines with all essays.

For this discussion, you’ll select a work of art by a well-known artist and analyze it in terms of its use of at least one of the elements listed above (line, shape, mass, texture, or form). Write a brief description of how you notice the artist has used the element(s), and for what you think may be the intended effect. Include an image (be sure to EMBED the image in your post rather than add it as an attachment). Please give the artist’s name, title of the work, date it was created, and where you accessed it (Museum website). Search for an image through Google’s Arts and Culture Collections website (Links to an external site.), which offers links to Museum collections around the world (make sure you choose a fine art museum). From here, you can explore a variety of collections, find a work of art that speaks to you, download it to your computer, and upload it to embed the image into this discussion post. Please do NOT use an image that we discussed in the online lecture or textbook chapter this week. You need to choose a new work of art that we haven’t covered from a reputable art museum by using the Google link above. Also please do not choose a work from a Natural history museum — it needs to be a fine art institution. If you’re not sure what characterizes a fine art museum, please post your link in the Q+A Discussion board.

As an alternative, if you are an artist, you may instead upload an image of your own work, and then write a statement for your post as far as how you have used at least one of the elements in your work.
