The community is where macro practice takes place (Netting, Kettner, McMurtry, & Thomas, 2012, p. 131). In today’s connected world, people will identify with many different types of communities, and social workers must understand this interconnectedness in order to effectively assess and determine appropriate courses of action (Netting et al., 2012).

pursue legal action against the British for the return of the sculptures. Instead they think that the best way forward is through diplomacy, however this doesn’t seem likely as the British Museum has declined several offers by UNESCO to mediate (Alderman NY Times…

long-term government debt soared, peaking at 42% in 2012 (Dellas and Tevlas 492). Greece was shut out of financial markets, even as they veered towards bankruptcy, and were disallowed from borrowing any money until the EU met to discuss the matter (Alderman et al). The topic of bailouts for Greece was greatly debated between the EU, the most notably opposed country being Germany. By March of 2010, a compromise was agreed upon that called for bilateral loans from the other countries in the EU as…

health that plague American society. This series moves through multiple determinants such as the social gradient, race, social exclusion, as well as many others to impress upon its viewers that our health is intimately associated with the environment (Alderman & Strain, 2008). Furthermore these episodes beg the questions, “What else needs to be done?” and “How has my social and physical environments affected my own health?”. This reflection will analyze my own health and community, assess which…

that even though it might feel more rewarding to teach in an inner city school, I would make more of a difference in a rural school where I can relate to the children and have a better hand on them. The first school we observed was Alderman Elementary School. Alderman is an inner city school and has many different behavioral problems. The teacher I observed was Ms. Mandle and she taught a kindergarten class. Ms. Mandle’s teaching philosophy was behaviorism. She is a more go by the book teacher…

Dedication I had the pleasure of meeting a local legend from the small city of Prairie Grove. A man with determination and a strong work ethic which he has applied to every job he has ever worked. He is a family man, a community leader and dedicated to his city. It is this dedication that is most admirable, his positive outlook and genuine commitment to all facets of life shows not only in his actions but in his character as well. Charles D. Hudson II, better known as “Sonny”, which was a…

documented on the skin, a badge of honor and pride (Gentry & Alderman, 2007). Other forms of narrative tattoos may include ones obtained to memorialize a loved one (sometimes before, but typically after their death), place, or memory held dearly. Often these tattoo wearers reported that it helped them maintain a connection to the person; honor the person through a “fixed memorial” or "keep the memory alive" (Littell, 2003, p.58; Gentry & Alderman,…

into the Chicago city area despite the arguments posed by the United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW), the Chicago Worker’s Rights Board, and other civic groups. Firstly, Wal-Mart had existing support through Alderwoman Emma Mitts and through Alderman Howard Brookins, Jr. Wal-Mart could leverage that relationship in order to negotiate with the Chicago Federation of Labor. The Federation had three demands for Wal-Mart that were all addressable for Wal-Mart. Further, Wal-Mart could have…

Master’s degree in Psychology is a challenge all by itself. The time management (Alderman 1996-2017) planning, always need to be adjusted, in addition to my life schedule of full time work, taking care of my granddaughter after work and visiting my mother several times during the week to assist her in her basic needs. Yet, this new addition to my schedule is still taking time to adjust. Time management (Alderman 1996-2017) is one of my greatest challenges that I will addressed by seeking…

Of the fifty-seven cities studied, Detroit remains as the most liberal city with 93.96% of the votes cast for liberal candidates” (Alderman et al). District of Columbia, Oakland, San Francisco, Cleveland, Baltimore, Seattle, Chicago, Philadelphia and St. Louis, these cities all originate from areas of the nation commonly thought as liberal. With representation from customarily…
