Cultural Health Presentation

The objectives of this presentation are to:

1. Investigate an area of personal interest related to cultural health.

2. Locate and identify resources that providers may access when caring for a specific cultural or subcultural population.

3. Investigate opportunities and challenges that a specific culture or subculture face in obtaining and utilizing unbiased healthcare.

4. Report specific beliefs, customs, and behavioral patterns of a culture or subculture.

5. Relate strategies to address the unique health care needs among various cultures or subcultures.

6. Gain experience with peer and self-evaluation by reviewing and scoring fellow students’ presentations as well as your own.

Cultural Health Presentation

You will research health issues related to a specific cultural or sub-cultural group of your choosing and then share what you have learned with others in this class via a PowerPoint, Google Slides or Prezi presentation.

Read through the following instructions, outline and scoring rubric in this document to help guide your research and presentation development. You will use the scoring rubric to conduct four peer evaluations in both Canvas (1st step) and Google via a link (2nd step), as well as a self-evaluation in Google via the same link (2nd step).

Instructions:

In order to learn more about the health and illness aspects of other cultures and subgroups, you will develop a presentation using PowerPoint, Google Slides or Prezi and post in the Cultural Practices Presentations assignment in Canvas to share with classmates. You will be randomly assigned four of your classmates’ presentations to conduct peer evaluations, as well as own self-evaluation, and your final score will be an average of these individual reviews.

Step 1: Choose a topic from among the suggested cultural groups or subgroups listed below (or feel free to select another not listed that interests you). As you consider your topic, know in advance that you will be required to interview at least one person who is either from that culture or who has first-hand experience with the culture (or find a recorded interview to use in its place). For example, if you chose the sex-trade sub-culture, you might interview an experienced health care provider (e.g. counselor or public health specialist). Interviews can serve to provide valuable information in which to create the hypothetical character, as well as supplement information on other areas of the outline, including provision of culturally competent care.

If you are doing a presentation of a culture outside of the US, you will want to ensure you provide a thorough background of the society, values, majority beliefs, and historical context to ensure that the groundwork is laid for understanding the culture or subculture of your choosing, which can include groups both in the United States and in their native countries. It is essential to understand the context that cultures operate within.

Suggested example cultural groups include:

“Health and Illness in..”

· Native American/Alaska Native/Yaqui

· Caucasian (Be specific: American South, European Immigrants, etc.)

· African American

· African immigrant (be specific: Ethiopian, Sundanese, Congolese, etc.)

· Asian (be specific: Filipino, Chinese, Vietnamese, Japanese, Korean, Hmong, East Indian, etc.)

· Hispanic (be specific: Mexican, Cuban, Puerto Rican, Dominican, Guatemalan, Peruvian, Nicaraguan, etc.)

· Pacific and Hawaiian Islanders

· Middle Eastern (be specific: Iranian, Iraqi, Israeli, Afghani, etc.)

· European (be specific: Bosnian, Russian, French, German, Italian, etc.)

 

Topics can also include subcultures, which do not necessarily have an ethnic or racial component, but share a common lifestyle or interests.  Examples include:

 

· Pennsylvania Dutch (Amish)

· Jewish

· Mormon

· Sufi

· Seventh-day Adventist

· Runaway youth

· Single parents (Mothers or fathers)

· Foster children

· Adoptive parents/adoptive children

· Military (Active military, military spouses, military families, etc.)

· LGBTQIA+

· Transgender

· Urban Street Culture

· Communities of illegal behavior (be specific: sex trade, drug market, or gangs)

· Athletes (be specific: body builders, distance runners, triathletes, gymnasts, etc.)

  • Investigate an area of personal interest related to cultural health.,

  • Locate and identify resources that providers may access when caring for a specific cultural or subcultural population.,

  • Investigate opportunities and challenges that a specific culture or subculture face in obtaining and utilizing unbiased healthcare.,

  • Report specific beliefs, customs and behavioral patterns of a culture or subculture.,

  • Relate strategies to address the unique health care needs among various cultures or subcultures.

Qualitative Methods Overview

Your presentation during last week’s meeting with members of the public, business owners, town council members, and lawmakers centered on research design for quantitative methods.

However, some of the questions and issues discussed at the meeting led you and your colleagues to conclude that additional research design is needed to gain insight into the perceptions of members of the public on factors in community policing.

For these types of data, you have determined that you will need to construct a research design that utilizes qualitative methods. Your supervisors are asking you this week to explain why additional research design may be needed.

You and your colleagues have decided to present some examples of how qualitative methods are being used in other sectors of the justice system to underline their utilities. In preparation for the meeting later this week, you and your colleagues agree to discuss recent studies in criminal justice that use qualitative methods.

Qualitative Methods Overview

Please address the following in your presentation and provide a transcript and closed captions for your presentation:

· Differentiate how observations, interviews, documents, and media forms facilitate the collection of data through qualitative methods.

· Support your response from Chapter 9 of the course textbook  Research Design: Qualitative, Quantitative, and Mixed Methods Approaches (Creswell & Creswell, 2023).

· Review Creswell and Creswell’s (2023) discussion of the advantages and drawbacks of each type in Chapter 9.

· Explain sampling in qualitative methods and at least one type of bias issue in qualitative research.

· Inform your response from Chapter 9 of the course textbook.

· Creswell and Creswell (2023) discuss these approaches along with other factors in qualitative methods.

· Examine the importance of ethics, reliability, and validity in qualitative research.

· Inform your response from Chapter 9 of the course textbook.

· Analyze findings in qualitative research in a study on probation, parole, or corrections published within the past eight years.

· How does the author(s) interpret the data in the study that you select?

· Discuss how qualitative methods could be utilized to address a question on social justice.

· Reflect on the types of research questions in qualitative research as discussed by Creswell and Creswell (2023).

The length of the script for your initial post should be at least 500 words in length. Support your claims with examples from the required material(s) and/or other scholarly resources, and properly cite any references

Social Environment Assessment

People are influenced by their environment. Through environmental exposure, people form worldviews, thought processes, and ways of interacting with others. For this assignment, you will need to identify and research local and state databases to identify the needs in your community environment. This may help you gain an understanding of how your environment influences you and how the environment could impact your future potential clients. Develop a 4-6 page paper (not including the title page and references) that includes the information noted below.

First: Provide a detailed overview of the community demographics including factors such as population, racial makeup, crime rate, income levels, etc. What are the most important things to know about your city? Are there any interesting facts? Also discuss why it is important for social workers to be knowledgeable of their communities.

Second: Evaluate the community where you live in two of the categories listed below . Identify the strengths (things your area may be doing well to address the issue) and needs (why is it an issue, what are the stats, what is its impact on the community) associated with both categories. Data and factual information should be provided to support need. Select two categories from the list of social issues below:

Social Environment Assessment

· Medical care/facilities and services

· Mental health services

· Crime

· Homelessness rate (adults, children, families)

· Substance abuse

· Poverty

· School systems

· Environmental Issues

Third: Discuss where social workers are employed in your community. Consider settings such as schools, hospitals, prisons, detention facilities, nursing homes, social service agencies, afterschool programs, Head Start, Veteran’s services, mental health agencies, etc. Name specific places . For instance, Freedom 424, an anti-trafficking organization in Forest, VA. employs social workers. Saying an anti-trafficking organization would not be enough information.

At least 3 community/environment or government websites, databases, etc. should be cited, for a minimum of 3 sources. There is not a maximum number of sources. Please follow the instructions carefully, use the template provided, and use current APA format. “Upload” your paper as a Word document; PDFs cannot be graded.

Note: Your assignment will be checked for originality via the Turnitin plagiarism tool.

Leadership Styles

With regard to the “Leadership Repertoire” (the Six Leadership Styles) that we find in  Primal Leadership, Goleman writes: “Resonance stems not just from leaders’ good moods or ability to say the right thing, but also from whole sets of coordinated activities that comprise particular leadership styles. Typically, the best, most effective leaders act according to one or more of the six distinct approaches to leadership and skillfully switch between the various styles depending on the situation.

Four of these styles — visionary, coaching, affiliative, and the democratic — create the kind of that boosts performance, while two others — pacesetting and commanding — although useful in some very specific situations, should be applied with caution.

Leadership Styles

Although the styles of leadership have all been identified previously by different names, [He is referring to the changes made to the content contained in the  Harvard Business Review articles from the 1990s.], what’s new about our model of leadership [based on new research] is an understanding of the underlying emotional intelligence capabilities that each approach requires, and — most compelling — each style’s causal link with outcomes. The research, in other words, allows us to see how each style actually affects climate, and therefore performance. For executives engaged in the daily battle of getting results, such a connection adds a much-needed dose of science to the critical art of leadership.” (53-54)
