Using Social Work to Combat Covid-19

This final assignment will be one that culminates the learning of this course and will be built on the previous assignments. Because of this, it is important to integrate the feedback you are receiving from your professor into this assignment.

For your Signature Assignment, analyze the impact of a current problem on individuals, families, and communities. In your analysis, please work on the problem/issue you began addressing in Week 1. Identify the problem/issue and what area(s) you think might be the greatest challenge to you based on the social issue/problem selected. Next, identify the social work values and ethics that you might need to address; identify elements of micro, mezzo, and macro dimensions that can be utilized in addressing the social problem/issue you identified as well as the practice skills that are needed for each dimension. Then, identify your chosen problem/issue within the context of social welfare and identify particular welfare systems or agencies that could best help the individual/family who may be experiencing the social problem/issue. Lastly, provide your own takeaway about how you as a social worker would advocate for an individual or family presented with this social problem/issue.

For this final project, your analysis must include the following:

Provide an overview of the social problem/issue you have identified.
Review the practice knowledge, planned change process, and level(s) of dimensions that inform you of the systems that influence the individual and/or family in the problem you are addressing. Please note that dimensions can overlap, so it is important to identify this and how they overlap concerning the problem you are presenting and the practice skills that are needed to address each of the systems of micro, mezzo, and macro practice.

Explain how the problem can be addressed within the social welfare system and explain which social welfare system would be most helpful.
Conclude by indicating how you as a future Master Social Worker would advocate on behalf of the family or individual (e.g., what would you advocate for, what dimension (level of practice) would you advocate at (micro, mezzo, or macro), and what your advocacy would entail).

Popular culture

Declare your thesis statement for the final analytical paper. Be sure that it contains a clear statement of what you will argue that delineates the main points to be addressed.

This paper is a critical analysis of your topic in popular culture. The goal is to demonstrate what you have learned from studying popular culture by not simply “consuming” it but by interpreting it.

First, define your topic in pop culture clearly for your reader. Your topic: Beanie Babies. Your opening paragraph or two can be a direct thesis or they can have a creative “hook” to bring in your reader and introduce the subject. But the opening should explain the importance of the topic; and it should conclude with a clear thesis statement that tells the reader what the main point of your analysis will be.
Second, begin your analysis of the topic by doing the following:
Apply a theory or concept from your readings that helps you to interpret your subject. These theories and concepts include: Marxist theories of false consciousness, commodity fetishism, and alienation.
Demonstrate the larger cultural lessons we can learn from your pop cultural artifact or phenomenon by looking at its message, form, and context. In particular, please explain how it promotes, reinforces, or challenges certain dominant values in the United States or how it is a subject of debate in public discourse.
Be sure to use examples. Evidence is everything!

2) What are the major causes of hunger?

3)What are some potential consequences and benefits to using biotechnologies in developing countries?
