Part I: Understanding your Community
Analyze how your community has changed over the past 20 years. Use policy and
community concepts and theories from the learning resources to support your analysis.
Fitzgerald is located in south central Georgia. In 1895 Fitzgerald, Georgia was founded
Philander H. Fitzgerald, an Indianapolis newspaper editor and a former drummer boy in the
Union Army, who founded it as a community for Civil War veterans both from the Union and
from the Confederacy. Fitzgerald is located less than 15 miles from the site of the capture of
Confederate president Jefferson Davis on May 10, 1865. The site has has drawn thousands of
people around the United States. Fitzgerald is one of the few truly planned cities in the United
States (Downtown Fitzgerald History, 2018). Within the last 20 years Fitzgerald has changed
drastically. Within the last 20 years the city redevelopment team and city council has focused on
rebuilding Fitzgerald and making it more attractive to tourist. There are many old homes and
buildings that date back to 1980s that are still standing. Renovations have taken place and the
cities has attracted not only tourist but families who have lived in Fitzgerald and came home to
visit for small town events. Ten years ago, Fitzgerald was hit by the lost of 550 job when “Shaw
Industries” closed their main plant. Many were left without jobs and no assistance in the
transitions or training to assist with the drastic lost. In 2016, Shaw Industries closed their entire
plant in the city and other rural cities in Georgia. Shaw Industries was the main employers in
Fitzgerald. Since the city has struggled with providing good paying jobs (Dorsey, T. (2016,
October 21) . The City Mayor seeked assistance from the Georgia Department of Labor,
Mortgage assistance programs, and other community resources to assist families during the
transition to finding new employment. “As social workers who value social justice and human
rights, we have an ethical responsibility to participate in civic life by advocating for
compassionate leaders and constructive social policies” (Rome, S. H., & Hoechstetter, S. (2010).
Community leaders collaborated with the Mayor and advocated for the families.
Describe your community, using research and statistics to describe socio-demographic
make-up. (For example: How many persons live in the city and/or in the town? What
were/are their cultural/racial characteristics? What were/are their incomes, ages, political
affiliations, etc.?)
Results from the census 2000, in Fitzgerald there were 8,758 people, 3,448 households,
and 2,210 families residing in the city.
The racial makeup of the city was
● 49.27% African American,
● 47.27% White,
● 0.18% Native American,
● 0.31% Asian,
● 2.28% from other races, and
● 0.69% from two or more races. ...
The document discusses findings from policy roundtables held with urban Native communities in 11 US cities. Key topics discussed include issues of invisibility and cultural competence impacting urban Native peoples across sectors like children's services, housing, economic opportunities, and healthcare. Recommendations focus on developing an urban Native policy framework at federal and local levels to ensure representation and equitable access to resources, as well as increasing support for data collection, research, and culturally-competent programming in urban areas.
In DC — For many years, Capital Pride has ignored the concerns of queer, trans, Black, Latinx, and Two-Spirit communities in D.C. regarding its complicity with entities that harm LGBTQ2S people. Since March 2017, No Justice No Pride has been working to ensure that Capital Pride addresses our concerns.
Higher levels of economic segregation are associated with lower incomes, particularly for black residents. Higher levels of racial segregation are associated with lower incomes for blacks, lower educational attainment for whites and blacks, and lower levels of safety for all area residents.”

SECTION 2
Development and Urbanization
Editors’ Introduction
Development and urbanization are closely articulated fi elds of study and practice. While urbanization and cities
are not an invention of the development era or the industrialized world, the discourse of development has
helped shape the discourses of contemporary urbanization. How development is defi ned, how it is measured,
whose development experience is counted and recognized, contemporary all have been the subject of debate
and critique with signifi cant implications for urban policies in the global South. The overall goal of this introduction
is to highlight the shifting terrain of discourses, institutions, and actors of development and urbanization and
their impact. “Whose development?” and “whose cities?” are two questions looming large in these debates,
around which we organize this brief introduction.
KEY ISSUES
Discursive shifts: whose development?
Since World War II, the record of the development enterprise and its glaring failure to bring about a dignifi ed
livelihood for the majority in the global South has invoked a range of important critiques from various corners.
In the 1960s and 1970s, against the backdrop of policies that understood development as national economic
growth, scholars looking at economic growth and poverty in growing cities declared that development was
not benefi ting the poor. Some called for a kind of development that addressed the basic needs of people and
advocated “growth with equity” (Streeten 1995; Burkey 1996). Others advocated a self-help movement in
housing that learned from the poor and their informal strategies (Turner 1977). These critics were joined
by feminist scholars and activists who in the 1970s had scrutinized agricultural modernization from a
gendered perspective (Boserup 1970). In the 1980s they demonstrated that economic development as
promoted through modernization and industrialization policies was also not benefi cial for poor women in
urban areas. They argued that development diminished the socio-economic status of women and their power
within the household, even as it increased their domestic burden (Brydon and Chant 1989; Potts 1999; Mies
et al. 1988; Crewe and Harrison 1998). In the same period, environmental movements demonstrated that

This document discusses the importance of public participation and democratic urbanism for community health and city planning. It provides examples of how inclusive community engagement processes have led to positive placemaking outcomes, such as transforming derelict areas into active public spaces with gardens and cultural assets. Truly collaborative approaches that involve citizens in decision making from the beginning help address issues of apathy and opposition, build social capital, and create places that reflect community values. In contrast, top-down "smart city" projects and an "orgy of public process" can undermine urban democracy and civic empowerment. When cities leverage culture and citizen ideas, remarkable impacts on people and communities are possible.

Abstract
Income inequality is widening in the United States, particularly in large cities. This study analyzes
whether mayors address this issue through redistributive policies or economic development. State
of the City addresses from 45 of the 50 largest cities were examined using the Policy Agendas
framework. The findings show that mayors favor economic development over redistribution. There
is no evidence that demographic characteristics of cities affect a mayor's attention to social welfare
programs. Mayors focusing on economic development come from poorer and more conservative
cities. A large negative effect is found on economic development attention for segregated and highly
nonwhite cities.

Peter Eckerline believes American philanthropy has a rich and storied history, shaped by the nation's values, aspirations, and evolving socio-economic dynamics. From the early days of colonial charity to the contemporary era of strategic giving and social innovation, philanthropy has played a central role in shaping the fabric of American society. As we reflect on the past, embrace the present, and envision the future of philanthropy in America, it is essential to recognize the transformative power of giving and its enduring impact on communities nationwide.
The document summarizes community issues related to population growth and affordable housing in San Diego, California. It discusses how population growth of 18% by 2050 and economic globalization have strained affordable housing development. Advocacy efforts have led to programs that developed over 15,000 affordable housing units and helped over 40,000 individuals. Current strategies include expanding permanent supportive housing and strengthening partnerships between organizations.
The document discusses community development and partnerships. It introduces key concepts like stakeholders and approaches to community development. It outlines the speaker's background working on community projects. The main stakeholders in development are identified as: US government agencies, international organizations, foundations, NGOs, host country NGOs, and local community members. Effective partnerships require understanding community interests and bringing stakeholders to a common agenda to solve locally-defined problems.

The document discusses civil society, its history and role. It defines civil society as non-governmental organizations that influence policymakers and businesses. Civil society became popular in the 1980s when groups challenged authoritarian regimes. Theories view civil society differently, with liberals seeing it as legitimate contributions and Marxists seeing it challenge dominant orders. Civil society provides services, advocacy, monitoring, and participates in global governance. It has had some successes but impact has been modest. Challenges include resources and support. Future trends include greater technology use and relations with governments and international organizations. The history and framework of civil society in India is also outlined.
The document discusses three approaches to achieving prosperity in the American South. Approach One advocates creating more jobs by providing incentives to attract businesses, easing regulations on businesses, and investing in infrastructure. Supporters argue that job growth along highways like I-85 has transformed the South and created widespread prosperity. They believe job creation should be the top priority and that managing growth could hinder economic development. The summary highlights the key points of Approach One and does not exceed 3 sentences.

This document provides background on the history and evolution of community development corporations (CDCs) in the United States. It discusses how CDCs emerged in response to urban problems and changes in federal policies. The traditional CDC model developed in the 1960s focused on job creation, but CDCs had to adapt their models over time due to shifting political and economic environments. The document examines how one organization, the Interfaith Housing Development Corporation, adapted the traditional CDC model to address homelessness in Chicago through collaboration and development of supportive housing.

Foreign funding to NGOs in Nicaragua has undermined their accountability to grassroots organizations and limited their ability to catalyze social change. Due to short-term funding cycles tied to donor priorities, NGOs are more accountable to foreign donors than the communities they are meant to serve. This has contributed to a façade of civil society dominated by urban NGO elites rather than empowered grassroots organizations. As a result, NGOs have had minimal policy impact and have demobilized, rather than empowered, the people. Long-term funding structures that strengthen accountability to local constituencies may help NGOs better support grassroots organizations and social movements.

From theoretical and practical perspectives, CED has been commonly described as a quintessentially local project, one in which communities reconstruct dysfunctional markets as a way of reconstituting social relations and building political strength. As social policy, CED emphasizes local participation in the design and implementation of affordable housing, job creation, and financing programs.

Introduction: What Is CED?
There is no standard definition of community economic development (CED). It has been described as a strategy that includes a wide range of economic activities and programs for developing low-income communities such as affordable housing and small business development
from creation and expansion of neighborhood businesses to larger commercial and retail services - and job creation, some of which has been accomplished by financing and operating shopping centers, industrial parks, retail franchises, and other small businesses. CED also includes many other initiatives and services to fight homelessness, lack of jobs, drug abuse, violence and crime,1 and to provide quality child care and medical care as well as homeownership opportunities.2
As a concept, economic development emerged in response to tenacious poverty and the need for affordable housing, good jobs, affordable health care, and other quality-of-life matters needed for human existence. CED is broader than economic development because it includes community building and the improvement of community life beyond the purely economic.3
From theoretical and practical perspectives, CED "has been commonly described as a quintessentially local project, one in which communities reconstruct dysfunctional markets as a way of reconstituting social relations and building political strength. As social policy, CED emphasizes local participation in the design and implementation of affordable housing, job creation, and financing programs."4
Regardless of its characterizations, the modern CED movement is making strides to revitalize both urban and rural communities. Community development corporations (CDCs) have been reported to be the largest producers of affordable housing in the United States.5 At the same time, "for a field that performs ...

Value of Donated Assets
Which is the proper value to be assigned to certain donated assets? (This is a question for which answers cannot be found in either GASB pronouncements or the text), research is necessary.
A city’s road maintenance department received “donations” of two type of assets:
1. From the county in which the city is located it received earthmoving equipment. The equipment had cost the county $800,000 when it was acquired five years earlier. Accounted for in a county proprietary fund, its book value, net of accumulated depreciation at the time of donation, was $500,000. Its fair market value was $530,000.
2. From the city’s own utility fund (a proprietary fund) it received motor vehicles that had cost the city $400,000 when acquired three years earlier. At the time of transfer, the vehicles were recorded on the utility’s books at $180,000, net of accumulated depreciation. Their fair market value was #225,000.
Write a 1000 word, APA you answer style paper where the following:
1. At what value should the city record in its government-wide financial statements for: (1) the earth-moving equipment, and (2) the motor vehicles?
1. Briefly justify your response, commenting on any apparent inconsistencies in the values assigned to each of the two types of assets.
1. Comment on the significance of the resultant book values for decisions or assessments to be made by statement users.
Myth Clash Paper #1
Zheng Hui
The present paper will discuss how different ancient poets describe the myths. It will compare and Contrast the two versions of the myth of the Cyclops Polyphemus in the Archaic Greek poet Homer’s Odyssey (EH 298-314) and in the Hellenistic poet Theocritus' poem (Idyll 11) (ACM 399-401). It will also elaborate how Roman poet Ovid combine elements from each of these earlier poets’ versions to make his own version of the myth in his poem, the Metamorphoses (OM 374-381). In general, the paper will discuss and analyze the differences and similarities among several versions from different aspects including characters, features, techniques and others.
According to ancient Greek myth, there were three separate tribes of the mythical, one eyed giants known as Cyclops, or Cyclopes. One of them is the Ouranian Cyclopes, who was the offspring of Gaea and Ouranos. Besides, there is also another Cyclops called the mason-Cyclopes, who represents workers in Hephaestus’s forge. The third one is the shepherd-like Cyclopes, who was neighbors of the island-dwelling Polyphemus, who was a son of Poseidon (Weinstock, 2013). Based on the description of the Cyclopes in the ancient Greek myth, one feature that is present in all these Cyclopes is that they had one unique anatomy. In addition, they all had a single round eye in the middle of their foreheads. In fact, the eye, according to the Greek poet Hesiod, is the source of their name.
In Greek, Cyclops means “circle-eye.” These giants .

· WEEK 1: Databases and SecurityLesson
· Databases and Security
Databases are in just about everything we use today. When you are performing any task, think to yourself, Does this involve a database in some way?
As a daily process, communication occurs between people by many mediums, but there is no other medium more utilized than the large internetwork of computer systems we know as the Internet. When we look at some of the transactions that are performed on a daily basis, it is highly likely that there is a database involved. For example, if you open a web page to www.google.com and type a keyword in the textbox to search for, this process starts a series of searches through multiple databases. Another example is when searching for a book in the APUS library, this search is conducted using a database of books known as a catalog. so databases play an integral part in our daily lives; they store millions of pieces of data and more is collected each day (Basta, 2012).
In recent years, we find that technology has expanded to the reaches of utilities and production environments. Many of the utilities we come to rely on so heavily, such as gas, oil and electric, have been tied into the networks we use today. This interconnection allows for many new innovations in keeping everything in working order, but at the same time it also presents some very real threats to security. In reality, an intruder could take down an entire electrical grid which would remove power to millions of customers. An article in CIO Insight gives a great perspective on this and other issues in security where databases play such an important role (CIOInsight, 2011).
With the importance of securing the database infrastructure, we need to look at a multilayered approach to security. As can be seen in many security programs, multiple layers allow for strong security because it adds another roadblock that an intruder has to bypass to get to these systems. This same approach leads us to begin with the foundation of security; the CIA Triad. It all begins with the most basic approach, computer security and moves forward from that point on. Below is a detailed description of the components of the CIA Triad from (Basta, 2012):
· Confidentiality: For a system to provide confidentiality, it needs to do two things: ensure that information maintains its privacy by limiting authorized access to resources; block unauthorized access to resources.
· Integrity: This refers to the efforts taken through policy, procedure, and design in order to create and maintain reliable, consistent, and complete information and systems.
· Availability: This refers to the efforts taken through policy, procedures, and design to maintain the accessibility of resources on a network or within a database. These resources include, but are not limited to, data, applications, other databases, computers, servers, applications, files, drives, shares, and network access.

· Unit 4 Citizen Rights
INTRODUCTION
In George Orwell's Animal Farm, the assertion that "all animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others" signals the breakdown of any semblance of a fair society. We have probably all experienced it: a situation where someone who was better connected, more influential, or in a position of power could advance far beyond the position or actions of the common person. On a typical day, this happens in travel, restaurant seating, the selection of a church pew, and the line at the grocery store.
It should not, however, happen in our public services. As citizens, we all have rights, and we all have the same rights. That is the beauty of the United States's democratic government structure, and perhaps one of the most cherished aspects of it. Economic and social diversity aside, when we interact with the government, we expect to receive the same treatment, whether we are a Rockefeller or a plumber. The reality is that this balance of citizen rights is difficult to achieve, because in many cases, those wielding power and influence attempt to trump equity.
TOGGLE DRAWERHIDE FULL INTRODUCTION
Inherent in the concept of citizenship is the exchange wherein citizens give allegiance to a nation and receive protection offered by that nation. Citizens therefore have certain privileges in the eyes of the nation, such as the right to vote, to pay taxes, and to refuse certain actions, such as reciting the Pledge of Allegiance because it refers to God. There are benefits and entitlements that the citizen can demand from the government. These rights are balanced by responsibilities, such as upholding the law, participating in government, and engaging in the same privileges previously mentioned.

He had said, after all, in the hubbub of parting: I am your father, I will never abandon you. He had said that, hadn’t he, when he hugged and then let her go. But at the moment Cleófilas was busy looking for Chela, her maid of honor, to fulfill their bouquet conspiracy. She would not remember her father’s parting words until later.

· Part I Key Case SummaryThis case discusses the Union Carbid.docxLynellBull52
· Part I: Key
Case Summary
This case discusses the Union Carbide gas leak that occurred in Bhopal, India in 1984. Over five thousand people were killed and hundreds of thousands were injured after water inadvertently mixed with methyl isocyanate (MIC) causing the release of a deadly gas. The plant in Bhopal was a pesticide production facility that served the increasing demand of India’s thriving farming industry. However, uncontrolled zoning allowed the plant to be built within close proximity to a densely populated region. While the plant was initially profitable, market changes negatively impacted revenue forcing budget cuts that led to the decay of maintenance and safety practices. There are several theories as to why the incident occurred such as a disgruntled employee’s maliciousness or an accidental contamination. Over several years, Union Carbide paid out hundreds of millions of dollars to the survivors and ultimately ceased to exist, while the community continues to struggle with the aftermath of the disaster.
Main Critical Issues (the list):
· India’s officials adopted careless zoning practices and allowed the construction of the plant near dense population.
· The proper safety procedures were not followed and the equipment was not being properly utilized as designed. UCIL managers placed a higher weight on cost cutting than on safety, resulting in the reduction of maintenance and safety practices.
· Union Carbide Corp. did not require frequent reporting from its subsidiary in India (UCIL), which allowed malpractices and unsafe systems in the Bhopal plant to go unnoticed.
· Union Carbide Corporation and UCIL had an ethical obligation to warn the surrounding community of potential dangers of living close to the pesticide plant
· If the case, the disgruntled employees action to sabotage the plant to take vengeance
· Employees and supervisors in the Bhopal plant did not follow numerous policies and routines that could have prevented the tragedy (e.g. acting upon the alarming increase in the tank pressure, instead of postponing it to after the tea break).
· The residents were not informed of what actions to take in the event of a toxic leak or accident.
· The employees did not use the emergency buses to evacuate surrounding residents.
·
Part II: Key

The following are the stakeholders in the case: The Union Carbide’s Corporation Stockholders, The Bhopal’s population, The Indian Government, The Bombay Stock Exchange, The Union Carbide’s workers from de Indian subsidiary “UCIL”. The workers from Union Carbide headquarter in Connecticut, The Board of Directors of Union Carbide Headquarter, and The Board of Directors from Union Carbide’s Indian subsidiary.

· Perceptual process is a process through manager receive organize and interpret information. According to this case, after Andrea decided quit this job, Sam chose Grant for the manager position from three candidates, even he is not very suitable for this position, because Sam strongly believes the manager have to be a full time based on previous customer experience(He believed that you can’t be a part time manager and that his customers would think Vibe was not a serious company if he appointed a part time manager for marketing and public relations-Sam Nguyen) Moreover Sam thought Grant could Increase himself-awareness to achieve demonstrate good relationship with customer.
· Job satisfaction is a collection of positive or negative felling that an individual holds toward their job. In this case, Andrea is a good example of having a negative felling of her job.

People may have different level of the job satisfaction. In this case, Andrea work long hours, she may feel very stressful, she is happy with cognitive job satisfaction, but not with the affective job satisfaction.

Article
SYNCRETISM AND ITS SYNONYMS: REFLECTIONS ON CULTURAL MIXTURE by CHARLES STEWART
(If you would like to read the article from which this excerpt was taken, you can find it in Doc Sharing.)
The subject matter of anthropology has gradually changed over the last twenty years. Nowadays ethnographers rarely search for a stable or original form of cultures; they are usually more concerned with revealing how local communities respond to historical change and global influences. The burgeoning literature on transnational flows of ideas, global institutions, and cultural mixture reflects this shift of attention. This increased awareness of cultural penetration has, furthermore, been instrumental in the critique of earlier conceptions of “culture” that cast it as too stable: bounded, and homogeneous to be useful in a world characterized by migrations (voluntary or forced), cheap travel, international marketing, and telecommunications… In this body of literature the word syncretism has begun to reappear alongside such related concepts as hybridization and creolization as a means of portraying the dynamics of global social developments.
My purpose in considering the history of syncretism up to the present is not to enforce a standard usage conformed to the domain of religion; nor is it my goal to promote syncretism to a position of primus inter pares in the company of all other terms for mixture. I see my approach instead as an attempt to illustrate historically that syncretism has an objectionable but nevertheless instructive past…
Current Discussions of Mixture
Cultures, if we still wish to retain this term (and I do), are porous; they are open to intermixture with other, different cultures and they are subject to historical change precisely on account of these influences. This has no doubt always been the case…
Cultural borrowing and interpenetration are today seen as part of the very nature of cultures… To phrase it more accurately, syncretism describes the process by which cultures constitute themselves at any given point in time. Today's hybridization will simply give way to tomorrow's hybridization, the form of which will be dictated by historical-political events and contingencies… As [Edward] Said expresses it: all cultures are involved in one another, none is simple and pure, all.
Cross-Cultural Leadership and CommunicationMattVassar1
Business is done in many different ways across the world. How you connect with colleagues and communicate feedback constructively differs tremendously depending on where a person comes from. Drawing on the culture map from the cultural anthropologist, Erin Meyer, this class discusses how best to manage effectively across the invisible lines of culture.

Keynote presentation to the Educational Leaders hui Kōkiritia Marautanga held in Auckland on 26 June 2024. Provides a high level overview of the history and development of the science of learning, and implications for the design of learning in our modern schools and classrooms.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has revolutionized the creation of images and videos, enabling the generation of highly realistic and imaginative visual content. Utilizing advanced techniques like Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and neural style transfer, AI can transform simple sketches into detailed artwork or blend various styles into unique visual masterpieces. GANs, in particular, function by pitting two neural networks against each other, resulting in the production of remarkably lifelike images. AI's ability to analyze and learn from vast datasets allows it to create visuals that not only mimic human creativity but also push the boundaries of artistic expression, making it a powerful tool in digital media and entertainment industries.

1. Community Assessment
Walden University
September 25, 2018
Part I: Understanding your Community
Analyze how your community has changed over the past 20
years. Use policy and
community concepts and theories from the learning resources to
support your analysis.
2. Fitzgerald is located in south central Georgia. In 1895
Fitzgerald, Georgia was founded
Philander H. Fitzgerald, an Indianapolis newspaper editor and a
former drummer boy in the
Union Army, who founded it as a community for Civil War
veterans both from the Union and
from the Confederacy. Fitzgerald is located less than 15 miles
from the site of the capture of
Confederate president Jefferson Davis on May 10, 1865. The
site has has drawn thousands of
people around the United States. Fitzgerald is one of the few
truly planned cities in the United
States (Downtown Fitzgerald History, 2018). Within the last 20
years Fitzgerald has changed
drastically. Within the last 20 years the city redevelopment
team and city council has focused on
rebuilding Fitzgerald and making it more attractive to tourist.
There are many old homes and
buildings that date back to 1980s that are still standing.
Renovations have taken place and the
cities has attracted not only tourist but families who have lived
in Fitzgerald and came home to
visit for small town events. Ten years ago, Fitzgerald was hit by
the lost of 550 job when “Shaw
3. Industries” closed their main plant. Many were left without jobs
and no assistance in the
transitions or training to assist with the drastic lost. In 2016,
Shaw Industries closed their entire
plant in the city and other rural cities in Georgia. Shaw
Industries was the main employers in
Fitzgerald. Since the city has struggled with providing good
paying jobs (Dorsey, T. (2016,
October 21) . The City Mayor seeked assistance from the
Georgia Department of Labor,
Mortgage assistance programs, and other community resources
to assist families during the
transition to finding new employment. “As social workers who
value social justice and human
rights, we have an ethical responsibility to participate in civic
life by advocating for
compassionate leaders and constructive social policies” ( Rome,
S. H., & Hoechstetter, S. (2010).
Community leaders collaborated with the Mayor and advocated
for the families.
Describe your community, using research and statistics to
describe socio-demographic
4. make-up. (For example: How many persons live in the city
and/or in the town? What
were/are their cultural/racial characteristics? What were/are
their incomes, ages, political
affiliations, etc.?)
Results from the census 2000, in Fitzgerald there were 8,758
people, 3,448 households,
and 2,210 families residing in the city.
The racial makeup of the city was
● 49.27% African American,
● 47.27% White,
● 0.18% Native American,
● 0.31% Asian,
● 2.28% from other races, and
● 0.69% from two or more races.
There were 3,448 households out of which 31.2% had children
under the age of 18 living
with them, 36.3% were married couples living together, 23.1%
had a female householder with no
husband present, and 35.9% were non-families. 31.8% of all
households were made up of
5. individuals and 14.9% had someone living alone who was 65
years of age or older. The average
family income was 20,000 per family income (Community
Facts, 2018)
Part II: Community Assessment
Describe a problem that the community is currently
experiencing.
Currently, limited jobs is the major issue for the community.
Residence have to travel 45 minutes
to a hour to find employment. This has also contribute to more
crimes in the community.
Assess the duration, intensity, and frequency of the problem.
Limited jobs has been a issues for the community within the
last 20 years. The
unemployment rate has raised since Shaw Industries closed their
doors. Small business are
struggling to remain open. Small chain store are moving in but
not enough jobs are addressing
the lack of employment significantly.
Analyze the probable etiology of the problem, supporting your
analysis with resources.
6. As stated above the etiology of the problem is lack of jobs and
resources to assist families
with maintaining their homes while seeking for employment.
According to the Census Bureau
42.4 % of residence in Fitzgerald are living below the poverty
line (Community Facts, 2018).
Analyze the key elements and characteristics of the community
that make it vulnerable to
this problem.
Fitzgerald is a small rural community that is not near a larger
cities within a reasonable
driving distance with well paying jobs. The community does not
have city transportation
assistance for residence or private transportation.
Analyze the key strengths of the community that give the
community resilience and the
potential for overcoming the problem.
The city development team has attending other state conferences
and training on ways for
potential growth in the community. This includes renovating the
city theater, the city pool,
7. historical homes and buildings.
Identify major institutions (e.g., schools, factories, churches,
attraction sites, etc.) and
explain how these institutions contribute to or inhibit the
community’s ability to address
the problem?
Wiregrass Georgia Technical College, located in Fitzgerald, GA
contributes to job
trainings and advocates to bring more jobs into the community.
WGTC has programs to meet
with employees to encourage them to bring their business into
the community and the WGTC
would ensure they have hands- on trainings for potential
employees.
Explain which groups are most affected by the problem.
There is no one group affected by the lack of employment. All
groups are affected in the
community.
Part III: Community & Policy Action Plan
Describe your proposed plan for community change.
I would suggest continue collaborating with WGTC and
8. advocating for business to come
into the community. In additions, ensure the Mayor and city
council is utilizing their power to
assist the community with funding and grants to enhance the
community for potential employers.
If potential employers bring their business in the community,
then a quarterly assessment will
assess the company's growth. Also a intervention plan will be
made in the event sales and other
negatively issues occur. The intervention plan will be put in
place to prevent further lost of the
company.
Explain the strategies and tactics you would you use to bring
about change. Consider if you
would need multiple strategies, and if so, explain which strategy
would be used for each
target.
Keith Popple argues that because communities have to compete
for scarce
public resources, the greater their local social capital the more
enhanced is
their chance of securing significant funding (Popple, K. (2006).
9. I would collaborate with
community leader, churches, and residence to advocate for
funding for community development
and no on a condition bases.
Explain any policies that may influence the ability, either
supportive or prohibitive, to
influence proposed community change.
The Department of Community Affairs disburses state and
federal funds to help build or
create something a community has deemed important, such as
sidewalks, roads, parks, public
buildings, water and sewer facilities, housing choices or
economic development projects
(Community Development Block Grants (CDBG). (2018). This
policy will provide me with
evidence that the homes and development projects are needed in
the community.
Explain what policies would need to be in place to ensure
proposed plans are sustainable.
Lastly, All city policies with zoning and building permits are
suitable prior to new
development.

Discussion
Consequences of Mandated Reporting of Child Abuse
Tammy’s post:
In many cases, children's lives have been bettered or inevitably
save from unspoken or unseen trauma resulting in abuse. For
instance, Silverman reported cases unseen to the human eye
were apparent injuries caused by abuse (Lindsey, 1994). The
end to a living through terror behinds doors came to a slow
when mandated reported was introduced. We can all think of
nightmares on the news to broadcasts from Dave Pelzer, known
from his childhood as 'It' or Lisa Steinberg, the story behind the
12. song, "Dear Mr. Jesus." Ideally, children are placed in safe,
loving homes out of poverty, hunger, and cruelty. In doing such,
the child stands a chance to thrive and develop outside of the
destitution and dysfunctional dynamics he or she once feared
and hoped to survive. Foster placement allows services to
motivate parents and caregivers to leave abuse or intimate
partner abuse, addiction, or a life of disparity to grow for
themselves and child. A pivotal instrument to engage
professionals was mandating and hotlines; Lindsey (1994) notes
that the National Child Abuse Committee reported nearly three
million calls into hotlines that over 1,200 were fatality related.
At the same time, Human Services found dilemmas from false
allegations, safe placements, funding, and of course, educated
and trained staff to face the forefront of removing reunification
and placement of children from their biological family into
foster care. Lindsey (1994) mentions that since all reports must
be investigated, unfounded results are time-consuming and
costly to other homes in need. States have offered incentives to
those taking in children creating a lucrative money market
instead of an ideal home to nurture children. Some cases only
worsen in taking children; for some families, the service's
eligibility in having children add to poverty or addiction, or the
depressive state leads to addiction or abuse as blame or coping
mechanisms. As with most social problems, there is an
imbalance of professionals to caseloads and funding to services.

Heather’s post:
Being a mandated reporter puts human services professionals in
very difficult situations. We are meant to be there to assist and
guide our clients into living better lives but we are also required
13. to report any possible abuse that occurred in the past or may be
occurring in that moment. When doing any kind of assessment
or interviewing of clients we are expecting them to be honest
and tell us everything but yet they know what can happen if
they admit to any abuse. This makes it difficult to truly know
what is going on with our clients and can interfere in providing
the best possible care. One of the biggest consequences of
mandated reporting is making the abuse worse. There is a
documentary on Netflix called The Trials of Gabriel
Fernández, it is really hard to watch but it is a perfect example
of what I am talking about. As mandated reporters we are
relying on other people to do their jobs and do it in a timely
manner but the consequences of that not happening are severe.
As soon as an abuser finds out a report has been made or if they
receive a call from social services their anger or hatred for that
child intensifies and gets taken out on that child which in the
case of Gabriel Fernandez results in death. It is already difficult
enough for an abused child to trust anyone and if they decide
they are going to trust you but you are legally obligated to
report the abuse they will most likely never trust anyone again.
Although there are a lot of positive outcomes because of
mandated reporters we have a long way to go according to the
article Mandated reporting: a policy without reason “Whatever
the basis, though, for the initial misjudgments about the nature
and frequency of child abuse and neglect, the result has been a
formal child protection system that is increasingly ill -matched
to the needs of the children and families who enter it” (Melton,
2005 p.12).
When working as a substance abuse counselor I found it
difficult to get the complete story out of my clients when
completing an assessment. They knew what to say and what not
to say and this really made it difficult to create a solid treatment
plan for them. It is even worse now working inside of a prison
because believe it or not everyone here is innocent (Just
joking), most offenders will deny they committed a crime or did
any of the things they are charged with and again it makes it
14. very difficult to recommend classes or treatments for them.
I know there are a lot of more positive outcomes from reports
made and I do think mandated reporting can be helpful and save
lives. However, we need to continue working on ways to better
the process and improve social services in order to not allow
another child to lose their life from a report going unnoticed.

DISCUSSION: Developmental Theory: Your Toolbox
Guided Response: Respond to at least two of your peers who
were assigned a different child development influence than
yourself. In your responses, explain how your influence is
similar to theirs and give one additional strategy they could use
to support the child.
STACEY’S POST:
For this discussion my assigned child development influence
is Environmental. The biggest influence with environmental is
family. Children first learn emotions, behaviors, and day-to-
day interactions from their family and siblings. Siblings play a
big part in a child's learning. They learn how to socialize and
siblings can be both a good influence as well as a bad influence
on the child. Another influence on children is the parenting
styles. There are four types of parenting, Authoritative,
Authoritarian, Permissive, and Uninvolved. Each parenting style
has different outcomes on a child's growth and development.
The age range I choose for this discussion is ages 4-8 and I will
be supporting socio-emotional. In this age group, children are
learning how to socialize with their peers, regulate their
emotions and cooperate with other children. A couple of
strategies that can be used in the classroom to support the child
is to make the child feel safe and build a strong relationship
with the child. I would want the child to have a positive outlook
on school. The other strategy I would use is for the child to
15. learn how to regulate their emotions by teaching ways to react
to their emotions in a positive way. Having a positive reaction
to their emotions will help them when interacting with peers,
teachers, and family and build a stronger relationship.

LEA’S POST:
Hello,
Abuse/Neglect can be defined as serious physical, emotional
harm, sexual abuse, and exploitation. Abuse and neglect can
come in different ways as their caregiver/parent raises them. It
could be yelling, hitting negativity, or absent parenting.
Children watch and observe how parents treat and talk to them.
This could reflect on how they see or feel about themselves
their whole life. This could also affect them psychologically
and what can become of them for years to come with their
education and relationships.
The age group I have chosen would be the ages 5-6
kindergarten. Abuse and neglect can have a long-lasting effect
on children and into their adult years. This effect can harm the
five domains. such as their motor development, cognition,
communication, social-emotional skills, and self-help skills.
Growing up in your environment can also cause challenges,
such as stress, depression, and anger. this could also harm the
body and their nutrition. Parent, structures, and parenting style
can all factor how a child is raised and feel. Children need a
positive healthy loving environment to grow up to be strong
happy kind children.

16. DISCUSSION: Developmentally Appropriate Practice: The Key
Guided Response: Respond to at least two of your peers. In your
responses, compliment your peer on at least two specific ways
in which their ideal classroom incorporates developmentally
appropriate practices or provide two additional ways
developmentally appropriate practices could be incorporated
further. Be sure to support your compliments or suggestions
with information from pages 11 to 16 in Developmentally

Young Children (Links to an external site.).
SHIMIKA’S POST:
Hello everyone
I personally prefer to work with children 3-5 years old. I chose
this age group because I feel that you can set them on the right
track in the beginning and hopefully it follow them as they
progress. A classroom environment is one that is warm and
welcoming, and that contributes to the success of each child that
enters through the doors. The classroom would contain tile
throughout the class, however in the center of the classroom
there will be a big rug that is colorful with ABC's on it. There
would be a cubby, so that they can store their items. The
classroom will have (4) tables and (4) chairs to each table. The
classroom is set up for different work stations in different areas
of the classroom and they are reading, math, and art. There will
also be a bulletin board that contains: months , days, numbers,
and colors on it. It is developmentally appropriate because it
will promote each child's development and they will excel
through strength based and play based approach to learning. The
role of the educator is to provide appropriate practices by
recognizing the assets the young children bring to early
learning. Their duties also include helping students through all
domains of development. Children will have a learning
experience that is focused and surrounded by their overall
success. It is developmentally appropriate because it promotes
joyful learning that contributes to self-regulation, language,
17. cognitive, and social competencies.

JAMIE’S POST:
What is your ideal age group of children to work with?
My ideal age group of children to work with is 5 to 6 years old.
What does the actual classroom environment look like and have
in it?
The classroom has an open concept. There are desks that are
grouped together or even tables. Depending on the class size
would determine which furniture I use desks or tables. The
classroom will have a cozy corner. It will have a library. The
classroom will also have a science center where we can have
plants be grown or other materials. There will be an art center
as well. There will also be a building center too.
How is it developmentally appropriate?
It is developmentally appropriate because it has all the
components a kindergartner would need. It would have
appropriate books for that age. This age needs exploration and
options for their minds to explore.
What are the qualifications and dispositions of the educators or
caregivers in the classroom?
The qualifications would be a Bachelor’s Degree with a
teaching certificate degree.
What types of learning experiences will children have? Why are
they developmentally appropriate?
The learning experiences will be through an emergent
curriculum. In this experience, the children will be able to guide
what they want to learn. They will still learn the standards just
18. in a way that is best for them. It is developmentally appropriate
because all the needs are being met.

Part 1: understanding the community
The community I live in has experienced a significant change in
the setup, the way of life, behaviors, and many other essential
communal aspects. Some of the changes have been brought
about by the legislation and also a significant difference in what
the people have believed in. Moral decadence, peers’ pressure,
foreign influence, and a change in the lifestyle have also played
a significant role in the changes. The community has been open
for the changes in the last 20 years to avoid being left v behind
19. in developments and better living conditions (California. Dept.
of Alcohol and Drug Programs. Data Collection and Analysis
Section et al. 2018). Some of the reason for the changes could
be the changes in the healthcare structure and the advanced
nursing practicians where they are advocating for better lives by
campaigning for the community to participate in activities that
will make them live healthily. Via the campaign and public
talks, they are also fighting the current vice, taking the
community by storm where individuals are accessing drugs and
substances with much ease. This has been enabled by the
foreigners who are coming into the community posing as
investors. Drugs are also smuggled from far and wide, and they
get a ready market within the community.
Some of the community changes that have been identified in the
community touch on the way people have changed their
lifestyles. They are no more exercising or getting involved in
physical exercises. This has led to a sharp rise in the cases of
heart diseases. Another factor recorded from the community is
the use of drugs and substances by the younger generation. This
challenge can be attributed to the fact that the state has relaxed
the laws on drugs and substance abuse; the neighboring states
have allowed the consumption and possession of hard drugs like
cannabis (Pagliaro & Pagliaro, 2011). There have been
programs online and via the TVs that have been encouraging
drug usage and trafficking hence influencing the younger
generation. The town I live in has approximately 1.2 million
individuals, but the majority are living in the urban while a
smaller population is living in the rural. The majority of the
population are business people with moderate revenue, while
the other population is living in the rural doing some farming
and other activities (Antoine, 2002). The majority of the people
have an alignment to the common cultural practices since they
can easily trace their genesis as common. They have a more
common and general skin color with little variation due to the
fact that the community discourages interactions with outsiders.
They are from the same bloodline; hence they have a stronger
20. family bond. Their local language and dialect are expected, with
little or no differences among the community. Their religious
background is 89%$ Christianity,5% Islam, and other religions
taking the remaining 6 %. The organization has a rich history
in which they have been known to care for the environments and
other natural features; hence in the past, there were little
environmental destructions, but currently, there has been a lot
of destructions, the tree is cut and also the ecosystem being at
imbalance due to the disruptions and disturbances. Most of the
population, around 54%, is made up of the youths who fall
below 35 years and the aged also have a significant number by
accounting for about 30%. Politically, the community is a strict
follower of the democrat's ideologies since they see their rights
and their ideologies being in line with the political party.
Part 2: Community Assessment
The community is currently affected by the incidences or
problems associated with drugs and substance abuse and also
ever skyrocketing rates of cardiac disease. The increase in the
rate at which the youth are using drugs and substances in the
community is alarming and calls for radical changed and other
policies to curb the situation since it is a danger to the
community (Steven B. Karch, 2019). There has also been a
significant rise in the cases of cardiac diseases, which have
been accelerated by drugs and substance abuse. A change in the
lifestyle can be attributed to being the genuine reason for the
sharper rise in heart diseases, especially by understanding that
the lifestyle is responsible for obesity cases which is a risk
factor for cardiac diseases.
The problem is frequently witnessed since in every `10
individuals, and there are 3 cases of obesity and 4 cases of heart
disease. These figures make up to 40 %, which is a big number
and need to be reduced. It has also been found that the
frequency of meeting an individual in possession of drugs or
substances is 43% which is also high. Among the youths in the
community, there are those that peddle drugs and substance in
21. the neighborhood, and other are known to traffic them while
other are active users. There are also users who have been
active in drug usage but have been taken to various
rehabilitation facilities and have stopped (Steven B. Karch,
2019). The rate at which there is a possible relapse is also high
and accounts for 18%. The intensity of drug and substance
usage is high since most of the youths are being influenced by
peer groups and also the media, which is posing a significant
threat to the youths. There has also been negligence on the
governments' side in which there have been lenient punishments
to the drugs offenders, or they are getting small punishments
like community work. Probations' duration at which the drugs
and substances can be abused in the community is also along
since without necessary steps being taken into consideration,
and there is a chance that the duration for recovery may be long.
The faster the authority will take action, the shorter the duration
it will take.
The etiology or the origin of the drugs and substance abuse in
the community can be attributed to the lack of enough and
considerable family involves. There has been negligence and
lack of interest by the family members leading to youths getting
into the vice without looking up to as role models. There is also
a likelihood that the reason could be the early usage since it is
readily available, the youths are using drugs from a tender age
(Steven B. Karch, 2019). The highly addictive drugs are also
readily available and can be a genuine reason for the cases
being on the rise. At times individuals may be coming from
families with a rich history of addiction, and it may run in the
family tree. Another etiology is peer pressure which is known to
be the biggest reason for drugs and substance abuse among the
youths due to their tendency if being influenced. The last
etiology is mental health disorder.
Some of the known genesis of cardiac diseases include the
family tree. If an individual comes from such a family, there is
a more significant tendency of the case manifesting. Another
etiology is the change in the lifestyle where there is too much
22. junk food composition, lack of exercise, drugs, and substances
usages like alcohol and tobacco. Others include the
consumption of foods containing high levels of cholesterols and
incidences of blood pressure. Obesity cases also serve as an
etiological reason for cardiac diseases.
The community is more vulnerable to the problems, especially
by the fact that the organization is made up of getting youths
who are many and they are vulnerable to cases of peer pressure
in drug usage. Another characteristic of the community is that
there are no clear policies that are in place to curb the situation.
Another reason for the case of vulnerability is the fact that the
families have drug users who are likely to influence others, and
the majority is the younger population. The fact that the
community has a tendency to consume junk foods and d the
available foods are rich in cholesterol also serves as a feature
towards vulnerability (Steven B. Karch, 2019). The strengths
that make the community resilient in dealing with the problems
can be attributed to the aspect of communism. The community
is not happy when one of their own is suffering, and they will
do their level best to shield the person from the action being
taken against them. Another strength is the aspect related to the
availability of the drugs and the substances in the region and
the neighborhood, making it challenging to eliminate them from
society and the community.
Some of the major institutions are making it difficult to deal
with the challenge. It is impossible to visit any institution and
miss family members who will not accept one of their own
being punished. The other factor is that the right institutions
like the correctional facilities are dealing with major cases that
concern the state and not individuals where minor cases like
drugs and substance usage are punished by community work or
possible probation hence advocating for the vice to continue.
Schools are lacking the right mentors, and the guidance and
counseling sessions are not stressed by not being examined.
Most of the churches are not popular with the youths who are
the main culprits in the vice, and they are more vulnerable
23. compared to the aged.
Part 3: Community & Policy Action Plan
It is true and essential to have the community buying into the
changes. What needs to be covered in the possible difference is
that the youths must be trained and be educated to avoid being
taken into drugs and substance abuse. The community needs to
buy to the act of having the policies in place to curb the cases
and also have the legislations adhered to .there must be
reinforcements in place to ensure that they reduce the drugs and
substances available in the community. To deal with heart
diseases, there is a need to have the government control and set
standards for the consumable goods in the market. It is also
essential that the changes must touch on alcohol and cigarette
smoking which are known to be risk factors to heart diseases
(Clark, 2015). To the youths who are more vulnerable to drugs
and substance abuse, the best strategy is to control the
availability and the movement of drugs in society. For the aged
who are at a greater risk of heart diseases, the best strategy is to
have the government controlling the consumable items in the
markets and have a mechanism to control the levels of
cholesterol in foods and lastly, hiking the price of alcohol and
cigarettes to discourage consumption.
A policy that is supportive and able to influence the capability
of the proposed community change is the community or public
training and education on the vice. I believe the community is
not well conversant, and they have little knowledge of the
challenges; hence community training will be effective and will
support the intended purpose (Clark, 2015). The policy that
needs to be in place to make the plan sustainable includes the
government intervention via laws and the government funding
the projects; hence the community training will not stop due to
lack of finances.
