social problems

Create a PowerPoint, Prezi or some other presentation (10 to 15 slides) using one of the major theoretical perspectives (functionalist perspective, conflict perspective, and interactionist perspective) to explain the prevalence of some social problem that is considered a public issue (credit card debt, suicide)

Your presentation should have the following:

1. Introduction of Social Problem

2. Scholarly Review. Find one relevant scholarly journal and document factual data to support your chosen social problem.

3.Introduce a major theoretical perspective and define it. Use a major perspective as a lens to explain your social problem.

Ex) …Using an interactionist perspective one may say that people have high credit card debt (social problem) because they are exposed to images and symbols that are associated with wealth and power. With credit cards, people are able to purchase symbolic items that they would otherwise be unable to afford. People want to be perceived as wealthy and powerful because these interactions and perceptions are meaningful and important (Brown, 2018).

4. Incorporate the use of relevant images.

5. Cite your research in APA format.

M5 Discussion B – Effectively Delivering Human Services

his discussion is your second opportunity to work together to “wrap up” this course and identify important ideas for your final paper.

In your initial comment you should focus on what you have ascertained to be the most important issues associated with the effective delivery of human services. Some of these issues include client progress, self-assessment, and worker effectiveness. What worker competencies are necessary, and what constitutes quality case management?

In your initial comment be sure to discuss why you think the ones you have chosen are important and how they might be better implemented either in your focal agency or in the broader human services delivery system. Be sure to use concepts from the course readings, not simply your own ideas.

Then return to the discussion area 2 more times to read the comments made by your fellow students. Choose to reply to at least two of them in some depth, focusing on the issue of how to implement best practices.

Again, you comments should be an application of the course readings and not just relating your experience or the practice you may have noted in your agency.

The Division of Juvenile Justice and Opportunities for Youth is my focal angency

Elements of the Income Statement FD3

Firm to analyze: Under Armour

By Thursday of this week, go to finance.yahoo.com and choose a company that you wish to analyze. Enter the company name in the box to the left of “Get Quotes” near the top left of the page. Once you have the company overview page open, to the left you will see a list of links for further information on that firm. Near the bottom of the link column are financial statements. Open the firm’s income statement; this is the firm’s most recently reported annual income statement. You should see 3 years of data in almost all cases. If you do not, choose another firm. The dates of the income statement will vary by company since companies may or may not have a fiscal year end of December 31.

Using the income statement you found, compute your chosen firm’s gross profit margin, operating income margin, and net income margin (using the equations found in this module’s instruction) for the past 3 years. Include the numerator and denominator for each ratio. After you report the ratios, please discuss the economic interpretation of your results.

Follow APA Guidelines with citations

Example of format below:

The Gap a major retailer has been around since 1969. Since the creation of The Gap it has added a few affiliates to their portfolio, like Old Navy and Banana Republic.

Gross Profit Margin

2/3/2018 is 6,066,000 / 15,855,000 = 38%

1/28/17 is 5,640,000 / 15,516,000 = 36%

1/30/2016 is 5,720,000 / 15,797,000 = 36%

This margin helps show investors how much gross profit every dollar of revenue a company is earning. With that logic, the gross profit for The Gap would be .38 cents for every dollar in 2018 and .36 cents for every dollar earned in 2017 and 2016.

Operating Profit Margin

2/3/2018 is (6,066,000 -1,479,000) / 15,855,000 = 29%

1/28/17 is (5,640,000 – 1,191,000) / 15,516,000 = 29%

1/30/2016 is (5,720,000 – 1,524,000) / 15,797,000 = 27%

This helps show what is left of profit once wages, raw materials, etc. is paid and if a company does well at controlling their costs. As you can see above The Gap is consistent with their operating profits.

Net Profit Margin

2/3/2018 is 848,000 / 15,855,000 = 5.3%

1/28/17 is 676,000 / 15,516,000 = 4.4%

1/30/2016 is 920,000 / 15,797,000 = 5.8%

The net profit includes all costs unlike the gross profit. This shows the total sales achieved by the company and is the most important ratio out of the three. Of course, the higher the ratio the more effective a company is with cost control. Investors use this ratio to compare against the industry to see how effective management and operations are. The Gap’s best performing year out of the last three was 2016.

address the issues as they relate to Freuds Psychoanalytic Theory

“Stefan’s Love of Italian Food”

Stefan is sitting at a restaurant table waiting for his date to come back from the restroom. As he waits, he imagines what the rest of the evening will be like. The restaurant they are eating at is one of those little Italian places with red and white checkered tablecloths and candles in Chianti bottles. A violin player strolls around the tables while playing romantic music. Stefan considers that these types of restaurants always work well for him. His date would be charmed by the atmosphere and begin to feel romantic. This would allow Stefan to make his move, and typically, he and his date would end up at either his apartment or hers for a night of great sex.

Stefan is 38, of Italian-American descent, and single—a bachelor by choice— but his friends worry about his happiness. They wonder if Stefan is unable to form a long-term relationship, that he has a fear of commitment and an “addiction to sex” and the passion that marks the beginning of relationships. They also wonder whether Stefan’s strained relationship with his mother is at least partly to blame for his behavior.

Stefan has been a flirt ever since puberty. In high school, he had a reputation for insincerity. Girls were attracted to him; he was handsome and spent a lot of time and money on his appearance. Unbeknownst to his friends, however, Stefan secretly feared that he was unattractive, so he did whatever he could to improve his looks.

The girls he asked out always had a good time on their dates, but it soon became known that he would always pressure his dates for sex and, in many cases, tell them that he loved them to convince them to have sex. He was also rumored to have made one girl pregnant and then claimed that it was not his child. To his close male friends, he said that she was not going to tie him down, that “there were too many women and not enough time.”

This pattern of relationships continued during college. He would date women, have sex with them a few times, and then break off the relationship. He estimated that by the time he was 21, he had had sex with about eight dozen women and bragged about this among his male friends.

After college, and through the present time, Stefan also continued to form relationships with women that were based on sexual attraction and nothing more substantial. One by one, he watched his male friends settle down and commit to one woman. Every time this happened, he would express astonishment and disbelief, stating that his friends were being duped and that no one would make him live with one woman for the rest of his life.

When women agreed to go out with him or go to bed with him, Stefan felt attractive, and no one was going to take that away from him. In fact, Stefan secretly feared that no woman would find him attractive enough to marry. He believed that these women went out with him initially to get a free meal and would soon want to break up with him when someone better came around. So he broke up with them first.

His friends believed that Stefan’s latest sexual interest, Diane, would be the one he would marry. She seemed to be all that any man could hope for. She was lovely, well-educated, caring, and had a good sense of humor. Stefan had been dating her for a longer time than he typically dated women, and his friends thought that he was finally growing up and settling down.

As it turns out, the relationship lasted longer than usual because she was reluctant to have sex with him. She finally did after several weeks when she was convinced that Stefan really loved her and was not just using her for sex. Unfortunately, Diane should have trusted her initial instincts. Stefan broke up with her after they had sex on three different occasions.

His present date was a woman he met at the gym where he worked out. She was very attractive, with a great body. He used to date women he met at work, but after someone accused him of sexual harassment, he decided to no longer date women from his place of employment. He was angered by the specific accusation and the hype associated with sexual harassment in general. A man just couldn’t follow his instincts any more without the possibility of losing his job. At least he could still meet women at other places.

Using Chapter 2 as your guideline, address the following issues or questions as they relate to Freud’s Psychoanalytic Theory:

  • At what Freudian stage is Stefan fixated? What behavior demonstrates it?
  • Describe the stage and how it contributed to the fixation.
  • What do you think might have caused this fixation?

Key Family System Processes EDU647 Ashford University

Four aspects of family life are described that have been strongly tied to student academic achievement, and they are (a) family beliefs and expectations, (b) family patterns of emotional connectedness, (c) family organizational patterns, and (d) family patterns around learning.  Choose one of the key components and add at least three additional points/suggestions to contribute to a students’ success.  Use these new points in addition to those listed in the text to create a plan to be implemented by either the family or the teacher to enhance your chosen component.  Support your new points with at least one reference, in addition to the text. 

2 pgs paper

There are two parts to this assignment. You must complete both parts. Each part must be a minimum of one page in length, for a total of two pages, not counting the title and reference pages. Please incorporate at least two references into the case study assignment. The assignment should be uploaded as one document, following APA formatting and referencing standards.

Part I: The General Duty Clause

Using the requirements for General Duty Clause violations in Chapter 4 of the OSHA Field Operations Manual (FOM) and any additional information you can find in OSHA compliance directives or standards interpretations, describe a situation involving ergonomics that could be cited as a violation of the General Duty Clause (Section 5(a)(1) of the OSH Act). Explain how your citation meets the four elements listed in the FOM as necessary to prove such a violation.

Part II: Interpreting OSHA Standards

Search the OSHA standards interpretations and compliance directives for supplemental information on three standards that are important to your workplace or a workplace with which you are familiar. Discuss what you found for each of the standards. Does the information change the way you view these standards or what you might need to do to comply with them in your workplace?
