Part I

Directions: For this homework assignment, you are required to answer one of the following two critical thinking questions. Please provide strong responses that demonstrate critical thinking skills. In this case, short responses may not demonstrate the level of critical thinking skill required for full credit.

1. Two species of sea urchins live practically side by side on sandy bottoms. The two species appear to have the same diet (drift seaweeds and other bits of organic matter). They are able to live in the same environment without competing with each other. How might they be able to share their habitat and food resources?
2. It is not always easy to categorize a particular case of symbiosis. Suppose a certain species of snail is always found living on a certain coral. No one has found evidence that the snail harms the coral, so the relationship is classified as an example of commensalism. How would you go about testing this hypothesis? What kinds of observations might lead to the conclusion that the snail is a parasite, or that it has a mutualistic relationship with the coral?

Part II

Essay

Write a 3 page essay on a the different physical adaptations seen in bony fish, cartilaginous fish, and tooth whales to adapt with the marine environment. Describe and discuss the physical and physiological adaptations for the following: temperature, salinity, and pressure. Look at respiratory and circulatory systems to help identify these adaptations. The essay will be written in third person and have at least three outside sources. At least two sources must be peer reviewed journal articles. Please use the school online library to help in your research. The essay should also encompass a thesis statement, proper support in the following paragraphs, and end with a conclusion.

One of the main objectives of this course is for you to examine your ethnic heritage, cultural identity, values, and assumptions and analyze their impact on the provision of culturally competent services; therefore, in each module, you will focus on how a specific component of culture relates to this. In this module, you will focus on sex and gender and discuss the differences between the two.
As you work in the human services delivery sector, you will encounter males and females (both clients and colleagues) who may have different gender identities and different sexual orientations other than your own. In this discussion, you will want to critically think about how sex and gender differences can impact the work equation between a service delivery provider and a service delivery recipient and also between the agency staff members.
Tasks:
Given what you have learned in Module 3 regarding the relationship between sex and gender, post your responses to the following:
• Illustrate the difference between the two.
• Elaborate on how (or whether) sex and gender impact the work equation between a service delivery provider and a service delivery recipient.
Discuss how sex or gender impacts the work equation between agency staff members. Be specific in your responses and illustrate using examples. Make sure that you support your points using scholarly sources.

In this assignment, you will be considering a case study and then applying what you have learned in this module about research and evaluation.
Case Study
Beginning in March last year, a year-long media-based campaign was aired on radio and television and in print in British Columbia. Aimed at smokers in the age group of twenty to thirty years, it is intended to influence them in ways that will lead them to stop smoking.
The logic model for the smoking cessation campaign is quite simple and reflects the prevailing views about program theory that are relevant to this kind of campaign. Given below is a part of that logic model, focusing on outcomes. The components, implementation activities, and outputs are not shown, but they focus on the amounts of media coverage on the radio and television and in newspapers. The campaign is intended to last a year and is intended to be implemented in segments. The first segment begins in March and ends in April, the second one is being implemented in July and August, and the third in October and November.
As you can see from the logic model, the campaign is intended to initially reach a group of smokers in British Columbia (awareness of the campaign) and, once they are aware of the campaign, to increase their knowledge of smoking-related issues that might appeal to persons in that age group.
One television advertisement, for example, shows a man standing outside a bar smoking a cigarette. As he inhales, he ages. As he exhales, he becomes younger again. The message is that if you quit smoking, most of the effects on your body are reversible. A website is provided so that viewers can get information to help them quit. Exposure to these messages is intended to affect attitudes toward smoking (to make them develop a view that smoking is not good for them and that they want to change their behaviors). Attitude change is expected to lead to changes in behaviors: attempts to quit, cutting back on smoking, and actually quitting.

The Evaluation
The evaluation of this province-wide program is intended to determine whether the program logic works as intended, i.e., whether people are aware of the campaign, whether the campaign increases their knowledge, whether their attitudes change, and, finally, whether they try or succeed in quitting smoking.
The evaluation of the planned smoking cessation campaign in British Columbia is focused on the effectiveness of the campaign. More specifically, the evaluation is intended to address these questions:
• What impact, if any, did the mass media campaign have on:
o Awareness of the campaign itself.
o Knowledge of the consequences of smoking.
o Attitudes toward smoking.
o Smoking-related behaviors.
The key issue for the evaluation design is to determine how the campaign affected the aforementioned attributes of persons who have self-identified as smokers.
Given that the campaign is province-wide, it will be difficult to find a control group that has not been exposed to the campaign. Given the costs of the campaign, the evaluation will need to focus on British Columbia and not try to find a comparison group in another province.
Population surveys of British Columbia residents suggest that approximately 15%–20% of the people in the age group of twenty to thirty years smoke. These smoking rates vary from one region to another and with sociodemographic characteristics of British Columbia residents.
Tasks:
Design an evaluation report that will be able to assess whether the smoking cessation campaign was successful. An important part of any proposed design is to assess whether the program theory actually worked the way it was intended, i.e., whether persons became aware of the campaign, whether their knowledge increased, whether their attitudes then changed, and whether attitude changes led to smoking cessation behaviors.
To ascertain whether the campaign impacts smokers in the way the program logic is intended, it is important to design an evaluation that actually tracks the way the campaign influences smokers over time. Ideally, the evaluation team wants to be able to see whether the program was visible; if it was, whether knowledge increased; if that happened, whether attitudes changed; and if attitudes changed, whether changes in behavior have been reported.
In a 2- to 3-page paper, explain the following:
• What are the main features of your evaluation design?
• How would it be implemented?
• How does the design deal (if it does) with possible rival hypotheses (internal validity threats)?
How does the design address statistical conclusions, construct, and external validity?

This module taught you that ethical practice during the evaluation process is vital to the reliability of the evaluation that is produced. As in most areas of the helping professions, the ethical principles are not absolute, leading to an evaluator’s careful consideration of the actions he or she takes and the strategies he or she employs.
Tasks:
Using the University online library resources and the Internet, research and read about the assignment topic. In a minimum of 200 words, respond to the following:
• Analyze Fiona’s case from your textbook. What are the ethical issues that you believe she is facing?
• What are the “benefits and costs” from Fiona’s perspectives?
• What are the “benefits and costs” from the agencies’ perspectives?
If you were Fiona, what would be your decision (conduct the evaluation in-house or contract out)? What is your rationale for this decision?

Here is the required reading:

 

Can vulgar language, even if it is not specifically

directed at an individual, be actionable as sexual

harassment under Title VII? Yes—according to the

11th Circuit Court of Appeals. The plaintiff, Ingrid

Reeves, worked at a sales company, C.H. Robinson.

Reeves alleged that she was subjected to hearing her

male co-workers call other women names such as

“b***h,” “wh**e” and “c**t” on a daily basis. She also

claimed that there were repeated vulgar discussions

about female body parts and a pornographic image

of a woman in the office. Reeves complained to her

co-workers, her supervisor, and top company executives,

but the offensive conduct was “accepted and

tolerated.”

According to the 11th Circuit, “if Reeves’s account

is to be believed, C.H. Robinson’s workplace was more

than a rough environment—indiscriminately vulgar,

profane, and sexual. Instead, a just reasonably could

find that it was a workplace that exposed Reeves to

disadvantageous terms or conditions of employment

to which members of the other sex were not exposed.”

Moreover, the court stated that it was no defense to

assert “that the workplace may have been vulgar and

sexually degrading before Reeves arrived.”

For this assignment, we will focus on the various tools and techniques available to the security professional in order to mitigate white-collar crime.

Select two of the white-collar crimes listed below.

(a) Computer crimes

(b) Credit card fraud

(c) Embezzlement

(d) Workman’s Comp fraud

(e) Environmental crime

(f) Securities fraud

(g) Healthcare fraud

Discuss (a) how these crimes are committed, (b) their impacts on organizations, and (c) the tools a security professional has available to reduce opportunities for such crimes to occur.

Locate an example of one of your two white-collar crimes. Please make sure it is current, that is, within the past 2 years. Analyze the crime and how it was discovered, then discuss possible measures that could have deterred those found guilty.

For this assignment, you are required to prepare a report of three to five pages (excluding title page and reference page), and post it in the respective Dropbox for this week.

Remember to include at least two authoritative references. They must be cited within the paper as well as listed on a reference page. See the APA citation tutorial in the Course Syllabus.

Throughout this course, you have learned about various aspects of multiculturalism. You have also been asked to critically analyze various components of culture and discuss how and whether they relate to the human services industry.
In Module 5, the focus has been on aspects of diversity related to the family; however, there are a few aspects of diversity that can impact a family that have not been highlighted in this course—age and disability. As the average life span continues to grow, more family members are caring for their elderly parents. Also, family members are frequently taking care of a child, spouse, parent, or extended relative with a disability, and it is important to consider disability in broad terms (i.e., a child with autism, a sister with multiple sclerosis, etc.).
Tasks:
In a minimum of 300 words, post your responses to the following:
• With regard to the human services industry, what challenges might families face when it comes to caring for an elderly family member or a family member with a disability?
What are some resources available for families in these situations? Because disability is a broad category, you may identify a specific disability to address. Be specific in your responses and illustrate using examples.

Effective management of human resources contributes to mission accomplishment and vision achievement. Given that a vision is the future preferred status for an organization, it is critical to align people with the processes and resources necessary to propel the organization forward. As easy as this may seem to the uninformed, there are many challenges as pressure is applied to consistently reduce costs while delivering superior goods and or services.

Whether you are part of a small entrepreneurial start up, a civil servant with a mature and large government entity, or a volunteer for a non-profit organization, someone is fulfilling the role of HR oversight. No matter what type of organization you are working for the HR functions typically associated with building human capital are: analysis and design of work, recruitment and selection, training and development, performance management, compensation and benefits, employee relations, personnel policies, compliance with laws, and strategies for supporting the mission.

This assignment is designed to integrate the reflection of personal experience, and the information covered in the textbook. Assuming you are Juanita, answer the following questions:

• How can human resource management strategically contribute to the organization’s mission and vision on a daily basis?
• What skills might Juanita have to develop to better fulfill her role?
• How might Juanita engage line managers to become more involved in what has traditionally been HR’s function in this organization? Why?
• Which aspects of human resource management would she want to entrust to specialists? Why?
