What is the Christian view of the nature of human persons, and which theory of moral status is it compatible with? How is this related to the intrinsic human value and dignity?

Week 2 Paper

Based on "Case Study: Fetal Abnormality" and the required topic study materials, write a 750-1,000-word reflection that answers the following questions:

What is the Christian view of the nature of human persons, and which theory of moral status is it compatible with? How is this related to the intrinsic human value and dignity?

Which theory or theories are being used by Jessica, Marco, Maria, and Dr. Wilson to determine the moral status of the fetus? What from the case study specifically leads you to believe that they hold the theory you selected?

How does the theory determine or influence each of their recommendations for action?

What theory do you agree with? Why? How would that theory determine or influence the recommendation for action?
Remember to support your responses with the topic study materials.

 

How can we conceptualize families and the problems they face using these theories?The two theories that we learned this week are much different than the previous two. Why would it be important to examine such different theories?

Journal

The two theories that we learned this week are much different than the previous two. Why would it be important to examine such different theories? Do you agree with either theory? Why or why not? If you disagree could you come up with an argument for it (devils advocate)?

Realizations or application to your own family

Connections with other topics or concepts discussed in previous classes

What do you see when you compare the coefficients on RootCause estimated in those two regressions? Why do we see those results in 2 and 3?

Math/Physic/Economic/Statistic Problems

Create a 1000 observation dataset. Generate variables RootCause and OtherThing as independent, uncorrelated variables each drawn from a normal distribution with mean 0 and variance

1. Create a set of normal error terms with mean 0 and variance 1. Let Outcome = 1 + RootCause + 3OtherThing + errors.

1. Draw a graphical representation of the data generating process (DGP) involving the variables Outcome, RootCause, and OtherThing, that is, show by drawing arrows how these three variables relate to each other in the data you generated. Are RootCause and OtherThing independent?

If you think they are independent, how would you represent graphically that they are independent in your DGP? If you think they are not independent, how would you represent graphically that they are not independent in your DGP?

2. Regress Outcome on RootCause. Report and interpret the result. Did you estimate the causal effect of RootCause on Outcome with this regression? Did you estimate the causal effect of RootCause on Outcome with this regression?

If you think you were able to estimate this causal effect, why do you think you were able to do so with this regression? If you think you were not able to estimate this causal effect, why do you think you were not able to do so with this regression?

3. Regress Outcome on RootCause and OtherThing. Report and interpret the result. Did you estimate the causal effect of RootCause on Outcome?

If you think you were able to estimate this causal effect, why do you think you were able to do so with this regression? If you think you were not able to estimate this causal effect, why do you think you were not able to do so with this regression?

4. Compare the results of the regressions you ran in 2 and 3.

What do you see when you compare the coefficients on RootCause estimated in those two regressions? Why do we see those results in 2 and 3?
Problem set 8

Clear your work space and create a new data set with 1000 observations. Generate variable RootCause following a normal distribution with mean 0 and variance

1. Generate variable OtherThing = 2RootCause + noise where noise follows a normal distribution with mean 0 and variance 1. Create a set of normal error terms with mean 0 and variance 1. Let Outcome = 1 + RootCause + 3OtherThing + errors.

1. Draw a graphical representation of the data generating process (DGP) involving the variables Outcome, RootCause, and OtherThing, that is, show by drawing arrows how these three variables relate to each other in the data you generated.

2. Regress Outcome on RootCause. Report and interpret the result. Did you estimate the causal effect of RootCause on Outcome with this regression?

If you think you were able to estimate this causal effect, why do you think you were able to do so with this regression? If you think you were not able to estimate this causal effect, why do you think you were not able to do so with this regression?

3. Regress Outcome on RootCause and OtherThing. Report and interpret the result.

Did you estimate the causal effect of RootCause on Outcome? If you think you were able to estimate this causal effect, why do you think you were able to do so with this regression? If you think you were not able to estimate this causal effect, why do you think you were not able to do so with this regression?

4. Compare the results of the regressions you ran in 2 and 3. What do you see when you compare the coefficients on RootCause estimated in those two regressions?

Why do we see those results in 2 and 3? In your answer, explain how those results are related to the question whether the regression of Outcome on RootCause and OtherThing meets the conditional independence assumption.

Explain, discuss and evaluate the methodologies applied in the reviewed literature.

Critically analyze and reflect your thoughts and perspectives on the information you received through your readings and how you will utilize this knowledge moving forward as a professional social worker

Reflection Paper

Reflect on blow article:

https://medium.com/change-becomes-you/how-to-make-a-difference-unleash-the-power-of-a-grand-vision-in-5-steps-bd54fe082ea0

1. Critical Reflection Journals (20%): For each selected article/video, students are to submit a journal entry, which consists of your ongoing reactions to readings and your own personal and professional experiences both past and present.

The purpose of the journal assignment is to help you continue to develop your critical thinking skills that work toward integrating theory and knowledge by encouraging you to articulate the connections between theories and research with your own personal and practical experiences; and to identify the social welfare implications raised by the material.

Each critical reflection journal entry assigned will require at minimum two (2) pages in length of original written narrative.

This reflection essay will critically analyze and reflect your thoughts and perspectives on the information you received through your readings and how you will utilize this knowledge moving forward as a professional social worker.

Guidelines:
Journal entries are to include the following:
• Critical analysis of assigned readings. Do not summarize the readings. Instead discuss your intellectual and emotional reactions.

• Critical reaction to class lectures, discussions, presentations, exercises and videos. Again, do not summarize. Instead, discuss and react to those issues in class that interest or excite you or with which you have some experience.

• Implications you draw from readings and class discussion for social work practice and policy. Discuss what difference you think the readings and class material make in social work

• Examples from your field placement and life experience (yours or those of your friends or relatives). Examples should illustrate how the reading or class discussion increases your understanding of a particular practice situation and /or connects to a life experience or raises further questions.

• Reactions, thoughts, feelings about what is happening in the world around us, in relation to what we are reading and discussing in class

• Discussion of newspaper or magazine articles, journal articles, books, television programs, movies, etc. that are relevant to what we are considering in class and the topic

Some other suggestions:
• Formulate your own questions and ideas and express them even when you can only be tentative.

• Try to make connections between the abstract and concrete, between theories, concepts and ideas and ways in which they are played out in yours and other’s experiences.

• Respond to the perspective of the author of the article.

• When you start an entry with experience, test it out against some reading. When you start with reading, react critically and try to relate it to our own ideas, experiences, and questions.

What elements of diversity are you taking into consideration as you develop the plan? What social and/or political determinants of health should be considered?

THIS IS BASED OFF THE Omar case scenario & Exam & answering all the below questions!

In this paper, you must outline and discuss the major content phases of the planning process. You should utilize all relevant course material and display and reference theoretical foundations and models which have been learned in Social Work Theory and Methods and II. Clearly state in your paper how the Theories and models that are mentioned relate to your planning process.

As the foundation for the plan, use an assessment of the provided case study and make sure your assessment covers as many of the relevant items in the Social history as applicable and contains a narrative that pulls the items together and gives a view of the client (This was your exam). Your assessment will not be graded as part of the planning paper assignment, but it will assist you in developing a path towards a logical and effective planning paper.

When developing your plan, make sure you clearly consider and indicate in the planning paper the following:

Does your plan follow the SMART model; if so briefly explain how? (Specific Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, Timely)

What elements of diversity are you taking into consideration as you develop the plan?

What NASW values/ethics related to social work are relevant to this client?

What social and/or political determinants of health should be considered?

Is there any unresolved trauma?

What Economic factors might you have to consider in developing the plan?

Discuss how your plan will be implemented

Identify potential barriers or challenges to the success of your plan.

Select at least one program/resource that relates to your client population that you can use as part of the intervention and as a resource in your plan; briefly explain the program and how to make contact with the resource: Ex: family with small children and economic needs: (SNAP or WIC program).

How will you evaluate if your plan is working? Make the evaluation substantial and not just a 1- 2 line statement. What evaluative tools will you use?

When will you terminate the case?

Cite the resources you use-APA style; cite books, articles, quotes and other Bibliographic information you utilize in your paper.

(As a guide, social work texts/journals use the APA style.)

The length of this paper should be 6-8 pgs. Cover page and reference page do not count towards total but must be included.
