While most issues and concerns impact both men and women, issues such as sexual assault, domestic violence, and poverty are likely to impact women more frequently. In fact, throughout history, women across the world have experienced multiple forms of oppression and sexism through limited access to education, health care, and employment. For example, according to one recent report, U.S. women working full-time, earn only 77 cents for every dollar men earn for doing the same work (Institute for Women’s Policy Research, 2012). While some might question the data that supports these statements about women’s experiences in society, it is clear that social workers must be sensitive to the influences of gender in their clients’ lives in order to fully understand the issues they face and how to resolve them.

Despite the larger role of women in society today compared to a half-century ago, how might historical views and expectations of gender roles still apply today? For example, if you are conducting an initial intake with family members from the Logan Family Video case, who are dealing with a teen pregnancy, would you assume that the mother is the primary source of emotional support? How might you, as a social worker, use your understanding of gender stereotypes and gender roles to help the Logan Family resolve their presenting concerns?

For this Discussion, review this week’s Learning Resources, including the Logan Family Video case. Reflect on the video interview and make note of any aspect where the social worker was not culturally competent or gender sensitive. Then, think about what you might need to consider in order to be both culturally competent and gender sensitive while working with Eboni Logan. Finally, consider what barriers you might encounter when working with Eboni, given your own personal values with regard to teen pregnancy and abortion.

Post a brief explanation of one potential aspect of the video interview where the social worker was not culturally competent nor gender sensitive. Then, explain what you might need to consider in order to be both culturally competent and gender sensitive while working with Eboni. Finally, explain what barriers you might encounter when working with Eboni, given your own personal values with regard to teen pregnancy and abortion.

 Logan Family Episode 1 Program Transcript 

MS. WARRICK: Hi, Ebony. It’s good to see you. I saw you at the track meet. Nice  job on the 100 meter dash.  

EBONY: Oh, thanks. Thanks for seeing me, Ms. Warrick.  

MS. WARRICK: So what’s on your mind?  

EBONY: I’m pregnant. 

 MS. WARRICK: Are you sure? 

 EBONY: Two months. 

 MS. WARRICK: Oh, Ebony. Why? Did you want to get pregnant? Didn’t you use  protection? 

 EBONY: Nobody talks about birth control here. All they teach is abstinence. I  made a mistake.

  MS. WARRICK: Do you know who the father is?  

EBONY: Darion, my boyfriend. We’ve been going together for about four months.  MS. WARRICK: Have you told him? 

 EBONY: He told me to do whatever I want to do. I know what that means,  though, but he won’t say it. He thinks we’re too young to have a baby. 

MS. WARRICK: Have you told your family? 

 EBONY: My mom. She wants me to have an abortion. Says I’ll ruin my life if I  have a baby now. But not my dad. He says it’s god’s choice, not mine. I don’t  know what to think. I’m all mixed up. What do you think I should do?

Psychologists like B. F. Skinner have studied how we can use operant conditioning to change the behavior of people and animals. Drawing on your personal experience, choose a person or animal whose behavior you want to change. (You may select your own behavior for this question if you wish.) How could you use operant conditioning to change the behavior of this person or animal?

In a multi-paragraph essay, describe your plan to change this behavior. Be sure to mention what type of reinforcer and reinforcement schedule you would use and explain why you made those particular choices. Include information from class materials, readings, and research on operant conditioning to support your discussion.

Read Ch. 15 and complete an individual integrative paper addressing your personal theoretical orientation to counseling. 4 pages minium 

Key concepts of your approach View of your role as a counselor Therapeutic goals and how you would decide upon goals Relationship issues you are likely to consider Central techniques you are likely to employ How you would address issues of cultural diversity Address specific issues as outlined in the textbook

This paper should attempt to integrate as many concepts and techniques based upon two or more of the counseling models. My suggestion is to take a primary theory – one that comes closest to your beliefs – as your theory of choice and then branch out showing how you would draw techniques from several other theoretical approaches. Be sure to state WHY you select a particular theory as your main theory. Show how you could bring in ideas and techniques from the various theories you have studied into your own integrative theoretical stance.  

1. Quality Writing Skills & Format Requirements (2.5 Points) Make sure your paper reflects university-level writing skills: Write in Standard English Use complete sentences Develop your paragraphs Check your spelling Put together a paper that reflects quality Ask someone to proofread your paper Page requirements include: 1 Title Page 1 Abstract Page 3-5 Content Pages (Literature Review and Discussion) 1 Reference Page Paper must be in APA format: Papers must be double-spaced and in 12-point Times New Roman font. Margins must be 1-inch on all sides and extra spacing between paragraphs is not The first sentence of every paragraph must be indented ½ an inch. Include a page header at the top of every page. In-Text citations of references.

2. Theme Development (2.5 Points) Look for a central theme for your paper. I suggest that you make an outline, and check to see that each point in your outline pertains to your central message. Create a title for your paper that conveys your basic idea. State your message clearly and concisely in your opening paragraph. Have a solid and impactful concluding paragraph. The theme should be clear, concise, and specific rather than global and generalized. Do not write in a general and abstract manner, or else your paper will lose a clear focus. Develop your thoughts fully, concretely, and logically rather than rambling or being vague. In terms of form and organization, your paper should flow well, and your points should relate to one another. The reader should not have to struggle to understand your intended meaning. Give reasons for your views rather than making unsupported statements. When you take a position, provide reasons for your position. Cover a few issues or ideas well and in depth, rather than spreading yourself too thin.

3. Creativity (5 Points) The use of personal examples is encouraged when appropriate to support your points. Write a paper that reflects your uniqueness and ideas rather than merely giving a summary of the material in the textbook. Do not make your papers mere summaries, rather focus on a clear position that you take on a specific question or issue. Approach the material in an original way. Focus on a particular issue or topic that you find personally significant. Since you have a choice in what aspect to focus on, select an aspect of a problem that will allow you to express your beliefs. Show depth in expanding on your thoughts.

4. Integration and Application (5 Points) Your papers should emphasize an integration of perspectives and an application of theory to practice. Demonstrate that you know the material or the issues involved through an integration and synthesis of theories, accurate understanding of theoretical concepts, critical evaluation of theories, and ability to apply ideas to practical situations. If you are writing a theory essay, focus on those specific aspects of the theory that you’d most like to incorporate into your own style of counseling. Stress the implications for counseling practice. Rather than writing merely about a theoretical issue, show how this issue has meaning in a counseling situation. Apply your ideas to specific populations with whom you expect to work – both in counseling and non-counseling situations. You may want to apply your essays to teaching, working with older adults, working in corrections, working with adolescents, etc. Make these a personal and meaningful experience. In writing about a case, be sure to show that you can apply several approaches or perspectives to this case. Work with the case by attempting to combine a number of perspectives

Assignment: Evaluation of Skills: Client System Role-Play Reflection and Analysis Paper

After planning the script and videotaping the role-play scenario, how did it feel to walk in the shoes of a social worker? What insights did you gain from the experience? What aspects of this experience were challenging for you? Being able to recognize the areas where you were successful and the areas where you need improvement are what make role-plays an important part of your social work education.

For the written segment of your Final Project, reflect on your experience in developing this role-play video. Consider any insights you gained from the experience, as well as the challenges you might have experienced in its planning and execution. Think about the specific social work techniques you used and why you used them. Finally, review the videos your colleagues posted. Select one of those videos and consider any areas in which your colleague might improve their approach and why. By Day 7

Submit a 4- to 5-page paper. In your paper, address the following: Reflect on your experience in doing the role-play video. Describe insights you gained from the experience and explain how these insights affect your approach to practice. Describe the challenges you experienced in planning and executing the role-play scenario and explain how you overcame them. Focus on insights and challenges related to demonstrating skills and engaging as a professional social worker, not on technical aspects of role-playing or recording the scene. Describe the specific engagement techniques/skills you used and analyze why you used them. Describe the colleague’s role-play video you selected. Assess what your colleague did well in the video you selected and recommend areas for improvement in your colleague’s approach.
