1-My name is Mohammad. I started my MBA last January and will be graduating at the end of this year. I have been working as a manager for a Bagel chain called Manhattan Bagel for the past 5 years. After finishing my MBA, I want to start my doctorate in Business Administration. Also, I am hoping to open my own business one day. I am a father of two boys a 6-year-old and a 9-month-old. I like traveling (family vacation) a lot we are planning a trip to Europe this year. The thing that I love the most is soccer I am a big soccer fan and I can’t wait for the world cup to start.

Some of my strength is creativity, organized, flexibility and teamwork. I have learned a lot from my current position on how to deal with people and how to be a good leader. When it comes to my weaknesses I don’t like trying new things and that is why I haven’t worked with my degree. I am hoping this will change once I finish my MBA. This course will be a good learning journey that I am hoping to learn and adapt more management skills and techniques.

2-Hey Everyone!

I’m Christopher Hill and I work in the Public Relations industry for a Digital Team (Social Media + Marketing). My primary responsibility on the digital team is running the social media accounts such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter for our clients along with running advertisements, email marketing and Influencer outreach campaigns. My past work experience and highlight would be that I was a United States Army Infantry Officer and Veteran having deployed to Kuwait for 9 months from 2014-2015. To finish out my final 2 years in the Army, I recently switched over to become a Public Affairs Officer where I have a team of soldiers who are journalists, videographers, and photographers who write stories for the media.

My biggest passion is easily traveling photography. To date, I have been to 35 countries with a trip to China, Hong Kong, and Japan planned for July. After I returned home from my deployment, I began traveling the world and picked up photography to document all of my trips. 3 years later, I officially started my own business on the side where I primarily shoot street photography for fashion brands, influencers, and bloggers in NYC.

Some of my overall strengths would include teamwork, flexibility/adaptive, and creativity. Being in the Army for the past 6 years has really helped me develop my leadership skills with my soldiers. By maintaining flexibility and having the ability to put myself in another persons shoes, it has allowed me to make some of the best decisions in my life. I believe one of my biggest weaknesses can be impatience and lack of multi-tasking. Typically, when I begin a task, I want to complete it as soon as possible even if more time is required. When I begin that task, I ten to push everything else I am working on to the side to complete it.

My short term goal is to complete the MBA program this semester here at MSU with a long term goal of using the skills I have learned to grow my photography business. I have always been entrepreneurial-minded my whole life so being my own boss is a life goal of mine.

I am hoping that the skills and lessons I learn in this course will help me with my business in the future. Techniques and strategies will the the top two skills I look to implement better in the future and I look forward to learning as much as I can in this course!

Discussion 8: Is this Really an Asset?

Robert Sweingart died during July 2014 at the age of 101. He had outlived many of his relatives,
including the person named in his will as executor of his estate. Thus, the probate court selected the decedent’s nephew Timothy J. Lee, as administrator. Lee promptly began his duties including reading the will and taking an inventory of Sweingart’s properties. Although the will had been written in
1979, Lee could see that most of the provisions would be easy to follow. Sweingart had made a number of specific and demonstrative legacies that could simply be conveyed to the beneficiaries. The will also included a $20,000 general legacy to a local church with a residual legacy to a well-known
charity. Unfortunately, after all other legacies were distributed, the estate would have only about $14,000 cash.

One item in the will concerned the administrator. Sweingart had made the following specific legacy:
“I leave my collection of my grandfather’s letters which are priceless to me, to my cousin, William.” Lee discovered the letters in a wall safe in Sweingart’s home. About 40 letters existed, all in excellent condition. They were written by Sweingart’s grandfather during the Civil War and described in vivid detail
the Second Battle of Bull Run and the Battle of Gettysburg. Unfortunately, Lee could find no trace of a cousin named William. He apparently had died or vanished during the 35-five year period since the will was written.  Lee took the letters to two different antique dealers. One stated, “A museum that
maintains a Civil War collection would love to have these. They do a wonderful job of explaining history. But a museum would not pay for them. They have no real value since many letters written during this period still exist. I would recommend donating them to a museum.”

The second dealer took a different position: “I think if you can find individuals who specialize
in collecting Civil War memorabilia they might be willing to pay a handsome price especially if these letters help to fill out their collections. A lot of people in this country are fascinated by the Civil War. The number seems to grow each day. The letters are in great condition. It would take some investigation on your part, but they could be worth a small fortune.”

Lee now has to prepare an inventory of his uncle’s property for probate purposes.

How should he report these letters? What should Lee do next with the letters in order to meet his
fiduciary obligation(s) to the estate and the beneficiaries?

Applying Social Systems Theory to Families

/in /by

3–5 page paper (not including title page and references)

Worth 100 points. For due date, see Canvas.

All papers are to conform to APA formatting (i.e., running head, title page, double-spaced throughout, appropriate headings citations, etc.) and reference style. To adhere to APA standards and avoid plagiarism each statement informed or informed by outside sources must be cited as such.

Instructions and grading rubric:

The purpose of this assignment is to analyze the social system in the environment where you were raised. Families are the context of individual development and play a big role in the development of people across the life course. Social workers will analyze the systems of those they work with. To begin this practice you will analyze the context in which you were raised. Using the general systems theory by Andreae (2011) AND ONE OTHER REFERENCE SOURCE ON SYSTEMS THEORY SELECTED BY YOU (must be published in a peer-reviewed journal or book chapter—no news articles or websites), you will apply key concepts to your family context. The definition of family may differ for each person. You may self-determine who you consider part of your family system. This assignment is aimed at developing self-awareness to manage personal values that may enter into the social work relationship and apply theoretical concepts to specific context. Paper #1 Rubric

Living With a Disability

Living With a Disability

When Shelly saw Ms. Jones in a wheelchair, she felt sorry for her. She said a little prayer of thanks that she could walk and move freely without any hindrance. However, feeling badly for a person and actually sitting in the wheelchair for another vantage point is very different.

Imagine that you suffered an accident six months ago. The accident left you partially paralyzed from the waist down. You are currently seeking counseling from a professional specializing in working with individuals who have disabilities. It has been a difficult six months. Your central concerns relate to the emotional and physical adjustments you must now make in relation to your family, job, and future plans. You are permanently in a wheelchair and have limited use of your legs but full use of your arms and upper body.

  • Identify three major issues that you think you would need to work through in therapy. Explain what aspect of each issue is problematic for you.
  • Explain how your views on intimacy, usefulness, and security will change for you to make the necessary adjustments for living with the disability.
  • How well do you think you would cope with this situation if you faced something similar in real life?

Submit your response to the M4: Assignment 2 Dropbox by Wednesday, May 14, 2014. Your response should be at least two pages long. All written assignments and responses should follow APA rules for attributing sources.
