Blake Brooks, a single taxpayer, earned $99,900 in salary and $6,100 in interest income during the year.Of the total interest income, $5,000 was taxable and $1,100 was tax exempt. Blake’s two qualifying dependent children, Nicole and Lisa, live with him (they have the same last name as Blake). Blake has $16,500 in itemized deductions.Neither Nicole nor Lisa qualify for the child tax credit. Blake had $10,000 of federal income tax withheld from his salary by his employer throughout the year. Determine Blake’s taxes due, using the appropriate method, either the 2016 tax rate schedules or the 2016 tax tables. Complete Blake’s 2016 Form 1040, using reasonable assumptions to complete any missing information and documenting those assumptions on a separate sheet of paper. All you need to turn in is the completed Form 1040, the answers to the following questions, your assumptions, and a sheet showing any calculations you make to arrive at the tax due and answer the questions.

Only when we read with care and reflect on what we read do we cultivate skills useful for analyzing subtle, complex, and intriguing texts. This assignment invites you to do so. Closely read an essay of your choice and investigate how it engages an issue. Then write a critical analysis. Your critical analysis should find the argument made by the author and provide evidence from the text in support of the argument. Also, your critical analysis should assess the effectiveness of the rhetorical strategies employed by the writer.

A good starting point for this is to find an article that is relevant to your field of study. If you are a science major, for example, select an article published in a scientific journal. Read and reflect on the article’s title, hypothesis, context and rationale for research, introduction, and the experimental design. Examine how the author designs and carries out the project; conducts field work; integrates material, charts, and graphs; analyzes qualitative and quantitative data; interprets and evaluates visuals, and presents the findings of the research. As you do so, take notes, as these notes will be useful when you begin writing your critical analysis.

Remember you will analyze the essay in terms of the following:

Purpose

Audience

Thesis Statement

Supporting Details

Evidence and Analysis

Modes of persuasion: Ethos, Logos, and Pathos

Style and Organization

Discussion 1

Prepare: Prior to completing this discussion question, watch the TED video titled “Martin Seligman: The New Era of Positive Psychology (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.” and read this excerpt (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. from Dr. Seligman’s book titled Flourish: A Visionary New Understanding of Happiness and Well-Being from his website, Authentic Happiness (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.. In addition, read the National Organization for Human Services’ Ethical Standards for Human Service Professionals. (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.

Reflect: Building upon a client’s unique strengths and resources is a common approach in the fields of social work and human services. In this first discussion forum for the week, you will reflect upon a particular concept-positive psychology-and consider its application to a particular problem area with a client. Consider the essential aims of the Positive Psychology movement and Dr. Seligman’s evolving perspectives on happiness and well-being.

Write: Imagine that you are a human services professional working with a client facing a challenge or situation.. Choose the challenge or situation that this client might face and summarize the presenting challenge(s) and needs. Conidering the challenge or situation faced by your client, explain how you would utilize the Positive Psychology approach. Analyze cultural competence elements, as identified in the National Organization for Human Services’ Ethical Standards for Human Services Professionals, that direct practice professionals should integrate in the successful delivery of this technique (e.g., awareness of one’s own cultural background, recognition of multiculturalism, respecting cultural diversity, etc.).

Discussion 2

Using Theory in Human Services Organizations

Prepare: Prior to beginning this discussion, read Chapter 6 of Making Strategy Count in the Health and Human Services Sector. Chapter 5 is a recommended reading, as it provides some additional context to organizational change.

Reflect: As you recall from Chapter 6 of the textbook, the Sanctuary Model reflects one method that integrates theory into the scope of effective change within organizational cultures. In this second discussion forum for the course, you will expand your understanding of one of the theories identified in the chapter (Constructivist Self-Development Theory, Burnout Theory, Systems Theory, or Valuation Theory of Organizational Change) though analysis and application. Review the main features, characateristics, assumptions, etc. that pertain to the theory of your choice.

Write: Imagine that you are an administrator leading a human services organization that is experiencing a number of challenges, such as high turnover among staff, poor lines of communication between employees, and overall low level of employee satisfaction with the current organizational culture. Describe this fictional organization (e.g., what it aims to do, and the clients you work with, etc.) and evaluate the impact that these issues may have on the delivery of services that are rendered. Select one of the four theories noted in Chapter 6 (Constructivist Self-Development Theory, Burnout Theory, Systems Theory, or Valuation Theory of Organizational Change) and discuss how you might apply it to these issues. How would you utilize it to make positive change? What obstacles or barriers might you encounter when making changes to your organization?
