Imagine you are a member of the Society for Social Work and Research (SSWR), a professional organization for researchers in social work. In your own words, prepare a hypothetical blog post for the organization’s home page for other social work researchers to read and respond to. For your blog, analyze the questions below.

• What role do statistics play in social work research? Do you believe they are simply superfluous (an unnecessary burden) or are they useful? On what do you base your opinion?
• Some argue that outliers should be eliminated from results. Do you agree or disagree with this approach? Why or why not? How do oppressed, marginalized, and vulnerable populations correspond to the notion of outliers?

Length of blog: 3-5 pages, not including title and reference pages. Support your blog with at least three scholarly sources.

Your blog must be effectively designed and meet the following criteria:

1. Contains text that is readable (e.g., appropriate size of font, type of font, contrasts with the background, contains sufficient white space),
2. Includes information within the blog that supports the assignment.
3. Ensures any included links are active and work.
4. Contains at least one graphic.
5. Uses the same template throughout the blog with a consistent design.

Your blog should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course by providing new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your submission should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards where appropriate. Be sure to adhere to Northcentral University’s Academic Integrity Policy.

Preliminary Suppositions and Implications ( one page – 10 points) Just because you don’t have to actually conduct the study and analyze the results, doesn’t mean you can skip talking about the analytical process and potential implications. The purpose of this section is to argue how and in what ways you believe your research will refine, revise, or extend existing knowledge in the subject area under investigation. Depending on the aims and objectives of your study, describe how the anticipated results will impact future scholarly research, theory, practice, forms of interventions, or policymaking. Note that such discussions may have either substantive [a potential new policy], theoretical [a potential new understanding], or methodological [a potential new way of analyzing] significance.

When thinking about the potential implications of your study, ask the following questions:

• What might the results mean in regards to challenging the theoretical framework and underlying assumptions that support the study?
• What suggestions for subsequent research could arise from the potential outcomes of the study?
• What will the results mean to practitioners in the natural settings of their workplace?
• Will the results influence programs, methods, and/or forms of intervention?
• How might the results contribute to the solution of social, economic, or other types of problems?
• Will the results influence policy decisions?
• In what way do individuals or groups benefit should your study be pursued?
• What will be improved or changed as a result of the proposed research?
• How will the results of the study be implemented and what innovations or transformative insights could emerge from the process of implementation?

NOTE: This section should not delve into idle speculation, opinion, or be formulated on the basis of unclear evidence. The purpose is to reflect upon gaps or understudied areas of the current literature and describe how your proposed research contributes to a new understanding of the research problem should the study be implemented as designed.

2. Answer all three questions under “What Do You Think” in your essay

Introduction

A consulting plan or report never is finished after the first draft. Iteration happens as the project continues and as the consultant collects more information from the client.

To finish your consulting plan, apply what you have learned through your assignment feedback, peer feedback, discussions, and research to revise and improve your consulting plan from Unit 5.

Assignment Instructions

Your final paper covers theoretical underpinnings of your consulting approach and evaluates your consulting project. Use the following subheadings from Part 1 of the paper:

• Subheading 1 – Case study.
• Subheading 2 – Discovery Approaches.
• Subheading 3 – Guidelines for Discovery.
• Subheading 4 – Consulting Competencies.

Then expand to add the following components for your final submission:

• Subheading 5 – Implementation Phase/Description of Consulting Theories and Basis in Evidence: In this section, you must identify and describe two existing psychological theories that could inform the way you do the implementation phase of your consultation. You will demonstrate this evidence base through citations of peer-reviewed references for each theory selected. 
  • Select these two theories from the following options: 
    • Systems theory.
    • Positive psychology.
    • Adlerian theory.
    • Gestalt theory.
    • Cognitive-behavioral theory.
  • Explain the psychological underpinnings of each theory as it informs your application of psychological consultation. You will accomplish this by identifying key psychological elements of your theories, describing the roots of the theory in the larger field of psychology, and noting its connections to other theories.
  • Compare and contrast the theories based on their usefulness and basis in evidence. Be sure to cite peer-reviewed journal articles on each theory. Provide enough details that give an in-depth analysis of each model. For example, include your critique of the strengths and limitations of each theory for this particular consultation project. You may choose to incorporate some of the resources and ideas from your Unit 7 discussion posts that focus on analyzing theories.
• Subheading 6 – Synthesis of Consulting Theories: Based on your evaluation of theories, create a synthesis that integrates the effective key concepts and best aspects of the methods related to each theory. Discuss the ways each theory might inform your approach to the steps you take in the consultation.
• Subheading 7 – Evaluation of the Consulting Project: You may choose to include some of the resources and ideas from your Unit 6 discussion post that are relevant to evaluation approaches in consultation. Describe the process you would use to evaluate your work as a consultant for this case. This should include: 
  • An in-depth discussion of the evaluation processes you could use for this consultation.
  • A comparison and contrast of two possible approaches to evaluating the project and the strengths and weaknesses of each approach to evaluation
• Subheading 8 – Conclusion/Synthesis:Conclude with a succinct synthesis, taking the best from each approach to evaluation.

1. First, how did the Indian Removal plans/policies emerge based on this week and last week’s materials? 

2. Next, please rhetorically analyze Andrew Jackson’s speeches (inaugural and second annual message.) How would you describe the overall language/tone Jackson uses in his speeches? How does his language/tone change with each speech? Who is his intended audience in each speech, and what are his goals regarding dealings with American Indian tribes? What kind of patterns or trajectory do you notice?

3. After, please rhetorically analyze Andrew Jackson’s” Letter to the Cherokee”. Who was the intended audience, and what was the purpose? How would you describe his tone and word choice? What historical allusions does he use? What were some key quotes/parts that stood out to you, and why?

4. What aspects of the chapter “Jackson’s White Republic” stood out to you? What, in your opinion, was a key passage or quote, and why?

5. Lastly, please share your overall thoughts/reactions/connections to this week’s materials 

I need an explanation for this History question to help me study.

Option A: The Vikings (Links to an external site.) were more than marauders, although they did rape, pillage, and plunder parts of Europe and strike fear into the hearts of many. Discuss Viking cultur (Links to an external site.)e (you may choose to discuss any/all: religion (Links to an external site.), war (Links to an external site.), economy, women (Links to an external site.), life styles). Why did the Vikings move from their homes, how did they do so and why were they so successful, and what occurred as a result in a few specific areas (you may choose from England, France, the Byzantine world, Ireland, Greenland, or Russia). You do not need to respond to anyone unless you want.

Option B: Discuss the term renaissance (what does it mean?) and the development of the Italian Renaissance (Links to an external site.).  Describe its features and some of its notable figures – artistic (Links to an external site.) and literary (Links to an external site.).  What is new about this time and what themes are based on past art, architecture, and literature? What relationship does the Italian renaissance have to the Protestant reformations (Links to an external site.)? 

Need help with my Humanities question – I’m studying for my class.

1- Body image standards have a large impact on eating disorders and mental health disorders. The body types that are most portrayed in media (television, film, print, and social platforms such as Instagram/Facebook/TikTok, etc.) are often thin and without flaw. Because we are surrounded by the media in the present day and age, the general public is often tricked into believing that being thin is the norm and is most desired. Men and women all over the world compare their own bodies to the bodies they see on screen leading them to food restriction and disordered eating in hopes of looking thinner. This constant comparison has led to a myriad of other mental health issues such as depression and anxiety. According to an online survey conducted by the Mental Health Foundation with YouGov in March 2019, “Just over one in five adults (22%) and 40% of teenagers said images on social media caused them to worry about their body image” (Mental Health Foundation, 2020). The online survey also stated that over one third of adults said they have felt depressed or anxious due to their body image.

I believe that a tactic for promoting healthy nutrition habits while avoiding unhealthy concern over nutrition would be to open up the discussion about healthy nutrition habits to young children. Personally, if I had been talked to sooner about nutrition and body positivity, I could have saved myself from the cycle of comparison that often happens to teenage girls and continues into adulthood.

A way in which we can improve body image ideals in our society would be to continue to include “normal” bodies in the media. The public needs to see the body types of average men and women more often. Many companies such as Dove and Target have stopped airbrushing their models and include all shapes and sizes in their editorials which allows consumers to see their body types being normalized.

2- Explain the influence that body image ideals have on eating disorders and other mental health disorders.

Body image ideals are a distorted perception on one’s body shape. Having negative body images and body dissatisfaction involves feeling, shame, anxiety, self-consciousness and feeling like their body is flawed compared to others. The mental health disorder can also lead to low self esteem, isolation and depression.

Body image concerns can start as early as 6 years old and endure through a lifetime. By the time of age 6-12 years old for girls and are concerned about weight and becoming too fat. Over one-half of teenager girls and nearly one-third teenagers boys use unhealthy weight control habits such as; skipping meals, fasting, smoking, vomiting and taking laxatives.

Body image can affect us all differently depending on age, gender and cultures. There are traditionally different triggers and appearance related pressures. For example in the western culture girls often feel thin equals beauty and cultural ideal. Boys often are faced with social pressures to be lean and muscular.

2.Describe tactics for promoting healthy nutrition habits while avoiding an unhealthy concern/ over-obsession with nutrition?

Tactics for promoting healthy nutrition

1) choose good carbs not white starchy

2) eat foods with healthier fats and avoid high saturated fat and food with trans fat.

3) Eat more foods with fiber and whole grains

4) Incorporated more fruits and Vegetables

3. Briefly describe ways in which we can improve body image ideals in our society.

Ways we can improve our body image always starts with ourselves. I would definitely start with buys clothes that is comfortable but still complements my body shape. Promote positive thinking and habits but speaking positively over yourself and others.
