Read the following vignette about Melody and Miguel and develop a 1-2 page strategy on how you would best work with Miguel and what issues may come up for Miguel. Include at least 1 reference from your own independent research.

Although people often think that Melody is a Latina counselor because of her dark hair and brown skin, actually she is biracial: Asian (Filipino) and white. Melody took Spanish in school, but she never thought that she would have any practical use for it. Times have definitely changed; her Midwestern hometown has seen a tremendous growth in the immigrant Latino/Latina and Spanish-speaking population. Melody works as an outpatient drug and alcohol treatment counselor, and Latino/Latina clients have begun to enter the system. Melody knew it was a matter of time before she would be assigned a Spanish-speaking client, and she dreaded putting her Spanish to the test. That client was Miguel. Miguel entered her office and Melody noticed an expression of relief come across his face as he asked her, “¿Hablas español?” Melody hated to let him down and answered “un poco”-a little bit. Miguel smiled. Melody was sure he could tell from her accent that she was already struggling. Miguel told Melody that he was an undocumented immigrant from Mexico. He entered the United States “by climbing and running” over a border fence. Miguel married a woman in a Texas border town and moved his family to the Midwest with the hope of finding a better job. He presented to counseling because he was addicted to cocaine and alcohol and was physically abusing his wife and three children. Miguel was concerned that if he were caught abusing substances or if the police were called on a domestic abuse call to his home, he would be deported.

As Melody listened to his story, she knew that she would need to be aware of the stereotypes that she had already formed about Latinos. One positive stereotype was her belief that Latino men were dedicated to their family and were hard working and community oriented. At the same time, she also believed that Latinos were domineering and macho. As Miguel’s counselor, Melody knew that these stereotypes would have the potential to affect the entire counseling relationship.

Other factors that Melody considered when working with Miguel included her comfort level with her own culture and ethnic identity, as well as her own acculturation status. Because her monolingual and monocultural supervisor wasn’t much help, Melody sought supervision from a former professor. In the process, she read all that she could about counseling Latino/Latina clients. Through supervision and research, Melody realized that she had to broach the relationship between acculturation struggles and substance abuse with Miguel, as well as help Miguel find a way to recognize and foster his cultural strengths.

Furthermore, due to her lack of expertise as a bilingual counselor and the facility’s lack of bilingual resources for clients from different ethnic backgrounds, Melody did not feel that she had the necessary personal or professional supports to ethically work alone with Miguel, who wanted to speak Spanish exclusively in the sessions. Coming to this conclusion enabled Melody to have a trained bilingual interpreter brought in to assist them with the counseling process. Rather than seeing the interpreter as a sign of Melody’s ineptitude, Miguel reported that he appreciated her attempts to be culturally sensitive and understand him.

Substance abuse has always been a problem at colleges and universities. However, some are alarmed by the recent misuse of prescription medication and by the legalization of marijuana in some states. Many businesses are concerned that substance abuse will impact them if graduates (future employees) have developed a pattern of substance abuse while still in college. An article reported that 46% of U.S. college students have been involved in some type of substance abuse.

Substance abuse has been a concern of the president of Rocky University for several years. Some faculty members in the university believe that substance abuse is more widespread at Rocky than at other universities, while other faculty members think that substance abuse is not a major problem in the college. To resolve some of these issues, the president of the university commissioned a study to assess the current substance abuse behavior of students at Rocky. As part of this study, an anonymous exit survey was administered to a sample of 90 students from this year’s graduating class. Responses to the following questions were used to obtain data regarding three types of substance abuse.

1. During your time at Rocky, did you ever participate in binge drinking?

   ____ Yes
   ____ No

1. During your time at Rocky, did you ever abuse prescription medication?

   ____ Yes
   ____ No

1. During your time at Rocky, did you ever use any type of illegal or illicit drug (not included in questions 1 or 2)?

   ____ Yes
   ____ No

Any student who answered yes to one or more of these questions was considered to have been involved in some type of substance abuse. The complete data set is in the file named Abuse, linked at the bottom of the page.

Managerial Report
Prepare a report (see below) for the president of the university that summarizes your assessment of the nature of substance abuse by students at Rocky University. Be sure to include the following seven (7) items in your report.

1. To summarize the data, compute the proportion of all students, the proportion of all male students, and the proportion of all female students who
   1. Participated in binge drinking.
   2. Abused prescription medication.
   3. Used illegal or illicit drugs.
      Then comment on your findings.
2. Develop 90% confidence intervals for the proportion of all students, the proportion of all male students, and the proportion of all female students who were involved in some type of substance abuse.
3. Develop 90% confidence intervals for the proportion of all students, the proportion of all male students, and the proportion of all female students who participated in binge drinking.
4. Develop 90% confidence intervals for the proportion of all students, the proportion of all male students, and the proportion of all female students who abused prescription medication.
5. Develop 90% confidence intervals for the proportion of all students, the proportion of all male students, and the proportion of all female students who used illegal or illicit drugs.
6. Conduct a hypothesis test (using either the p-value approach or the critical value approach) to determine if the proportion of all students at Rocky University who were not involved in some type of substance abuse is less than that of all U.S. students elsewhere. Use α = 0.10.
   Do not forget to include the correctly worded hypotheses.
7. What advice would you give to the president of the university based upon your analysis of the data? What is the magnitude of the issue? What would you recommend for both students and faculty? What is the potential impact on relationships with the business community and what would you recommend? How can this study be improved?

Be sure that your report contains the following:

• A title page, document, and citations in APA style.
• An introduction that summarizes the problem.
• The body of the paper should answer the questions posed in the problem by communicating the results of your analysis. Include results of calculations, as well as charts and graphs, where appropriate.
• A conclusion paragraph that addresses your findings and what you have determined from the data and your analysis.
• In-text citations from a minimum of three sources in addition to your textbook.
• A reference page.

Be sure to submit your Excel file as well. (Required)

Write two pages discussions for a sociology class. I have attached all the requirements, sample, cases you need and the reading materials. Please do read the requirements carefully. Thank you!

Directions:

1.Based on your
client’s biological age, what stage of human development are they in? How is
your client’s human developmental stage relevant to the case? What unique
ethical concerns arise during your client’s stage, and how would you address
them? (Hint: Ch7 Talks about birth – 18 CH 8 Talks about 65+ See the
Developmental Stages Power Point in the module for additional information.)

2.What are two social
welfare programs (Macro Social Work) that your textbook mentioned that you
think could help your client based on their Human Developmental Stage and their
presenting problems and needs? Why did you select these two programs? (Consult
and use your course textbook for specific social policies/programs. Hint: Ch 7,
8, and 11 have some specific policies/programs, as does the rest of the
textbook.)

3.What kinds of
attitudes does the public display toward people who are in the same human
developmental stage as your client? What are the expectations does society have
for people in that human development stage?

4.What is your role as
a social worker based on your client’s human developmental stage? How could you
help your client navigate the attitudes and expectations they face from
society?

5.What is one question
that you have about your case study/client and its relation to this week’s
module material

6.Please ensure that
you respond to at least one peer in addition to your own post! Peer responses
are expected to be a minimum of 100 words. Be sure to include critical thinking
and thoughtful feedback in your response to ensure you earn the full amount of
points in your post

Reflection Implementation Paper:

1. 60% of papers now include the required abstract and conclusion. Minimal points were deducted for those who did not include these items, but these point deductions will increase on each subsequent paper remitted without them.
2. It would appear that the inclusion of the abstract is a new addition to your APA requirement. I do understand this and have been very liberal in the review of the abstract. However, I have attached an article (below) to help explain the relevance of the abstract and the APA recommendation.
3. Each of you is working on a project and the best place to look at a project is from an objective standpoint. Many of you are writing in a narrative style and placing a subjective emphasis on the probability of success. Remove this question by supporting your statements, citing your sources and doing research.
4. In general, the papers are very well written and presented. Please make sure to use level 1, 2 and three headers. Each of the main topics in your rubric should be level 1 headers.

Module 4:

This assignment requires you to analyze the projected costs, revenue streams, and net present value for the concept from launch until two years after the breakeven point. Be sure to include a budget, an assessment of assets and liabilities, your anticipated sources of funding, and the associated costs of attaining that capital as part of the analysis. Justify the analysis with relevant primary and secondary data in an appendix, specifying any relevant assumptions and limitations. You should include, among other support, sales forecasts, cash flow statements, income projections, and any other relevant calculations or financial report.

Justify each section with supporting documentation why it it important to have,
