Creation of Measurable Outcomes in Co-Occurring Disorders

you are to create the following three: intervention grid, evaluation, and care plan

Find a newspaper article about a person (such as a politician, athlete, musician, or movie star) whose ethnicity and/or cultural background differs from your own, who has had an encounter with a system (such as criminal justice, welfare, unemployment, psychiatric, child welfare services, or the like), who also has a co-occurring disorder (such as substance abuse). Choose a theoretical approach that you would use to guide your work with this person, and create a chart similar to the intervention grid shown on page 93 of the text to determine some of the psychological, organizational, community, and political structures that could be impacting this person.

Attached in the entire rubric and the intervention grid that is talked about being on page 93.

Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed in your evaluation and care plan:

Written Activity #2 : When Anthropologists Go "Public

This assignment is next in a series of activities called "Public Anthropology" that we will do this semester.  It is inspired by Margaret Mead's engagement with wider publics - not just other anthropologists.  The world, it seems, could benefit from a more anthropological perspective.  What is anthropology, what kinds of questions or issues does it raise for you, and how are the skills applicable?  What is the "Big Question" that interests you?  This is what we are ultimately getting to.

Objective: To think about and synthesize your anthropological learning these past years, and to articulate to nonspecialist audiences the complexities of bringing an anthropological approach to a human problem.
Outcome: Analze the ethics, benefits, and pitfalls of bringing anthropological approaches to wider publics.

First, read the following articles.  As usual, some of these are quite short.&nb

Sample Replies to a Classmate's Discussion Post

(1) Excellent post, Jordan! I also agree with Dr. Saxe's moral arguments, as it seems strange and paternalistic that the State can determine what people can and cannot do with their own bodies, especially regarding something as intimate and important as one's death. I think that as long as there are robust informed consent processes prior to undergoing physician-assisted suicide, this is an ethically justifiable practice that should be legalized. Do you think that all U.S. states will eventually legally allow physician-assisted suicide?

(2) Respectfully, Jordan, I must disagree with your post. While perhaps physician-assisted suicide itself is not bad, I believe that there are serious concerns regarding physician-assisted suicide potentially being a "slippery slope" into more nefarious and immoral practices, such as active euthanasia and/or involuntary active euthanasia of the mentally ill. Are you not concerned that

Informative Presentation

Select a topic which allows you to inform your audience of a significant aspect of a culture that is different than your own. Possible topics include social customs, family traditions, holidays, clothing, food, religious traditions, and sporting activities. Refer to Chapter 7 of your text as a guide.
Research your topic. Be imaginative in choosing content for your speech. It is not enough to simply summarize basic information from the Internet about a country or culture. Narrow the topic by selecting one specific aspect on which to focus your ideas.

Organize the main points of your speech using an informative pattern of organization. Your speech should give your audience a deeper understanding of your topic, but should not be designed to affect your audiences beliefs, attitudes, or behavior.

Provide adequate support for each main point by citing at least three credible sources in the speech. Incorporate examples, narratives, testimonial evidence, statistics, analogie

Discussion Board # 5

Read and reflect on Fromkin(2017) page 33-49.
In order to receive full points, your post must include an analysis of the reading(Moats 1998) (e.g., thoughtful question you have, connections with previous class content, other courses, personal experience, etc.). Summaries of the readings, without additional analysis, will not receive full credit.

Articulating Transferrable Skills:
In this exercise, we will begin by identifying transferable skills and translating anthropological concepts that you can apply to resumes, CVs, application letters, and an elevator pitch or speech.  An "elevator speech" is a short "pitch" that can be given immediately when a situation warrants.  In this case, it is an introduction to yourself and your interests in an anthropologically relevant way.  You will gear the speech to particular audiences at different times, but the bulk of it will remain the same most likely.  (for example I have a different one for film festivals than I have for academics).

Objective: To think about and synthesize your anthropological learning these past years, and to articulate how and why this training is significant and useful to a wider public.
Outcome: A list of transferrable skills and translated anthropological perspectives you can use in an elevator pitch or other conversation with n

The PowerPoint can be however long, as long as it has all the information that's on the at least 2-page outline.

Must have five credible sources of research

The speech itself has to 6-7 mins long.

"For your PowerPoint slides, I personally would only use 5-7 and have then highlight sine if the text you are communicating to us. For example, you could have a title page, overview, several slides highlighting your main points, and then a concluding slide."

communication

Compose a short paper in Microsoft Word on how you feel about communicating through electronic devices. Is it easier than communicating with someone face to face? What do you think are the pros and cons of communicating electronically? What is your opinion on this issue? Make sure to use specific reasons and examples to support your position. If you use sources or direct quotes, be sure to cite them at the end of your paper.
