This is where you’ll actually write your complete essay draft.  No matter how long (or short) the writing is, you’ll need to take it through these stages: SUMMARY OF THE ARTICLE YOU READ: This stage should summarize the article you read in a paragraph. It should include: The article’s title, the article’s author, and the author’s background. The article’s subject and main point. The article’s top three supporting details and pieces of evidence. INTRODUCTION OF YOUR RESPONSE ESSAY: This is where ‘you’ come into the paper and begin your response. You’ll need to achieve a few goals: Draw the reader’s interest (usually in the first sentence)—create a connection between you, the article, and the reader. Present your subject and main point. Provide any necessary background information. Preview the structure of your paper (the order of the support you’ll present). BODY SECTION OF YOUR RESPONSE ESSAY: This is the longest section of your paper, where you carefully support your main point. Address each DETAIL or PIECE OF EVIDENCE in order. Clearly explaining it, presenting any necessary quotations, and explaining how it supports your subject+main point. TRANSITION cleanly between each point. Show the reader when we’re moving away from one supporting point onto the next. Address any COUNTER-ARGUMENTS to your main point. It seems counter-intuitive, but your argument will get stronger if you can acknowledge how and why someone would disagree with your point, and what you’d say in response. CONCLUSION OF YOUR RESPONSE ESSAY: When closing your essay, you should ‘tie everything together’ for your reader in a clear, meaningful fashion. Help them see what they gained from reading your paper.  Review your SUBJECT and MAIN POINT from the beginning of the essay. Review your SUPPORTand re-affirm the connection between each one and the main point you’re trying to support. Close with a ‘Thesis+1’ where you revise your subject and main point to account for the specific details and evidence you presented. This version of your main point should be more detailed, specific, and nuanced.

Write a professional report of your analysis.   1.     You must turn in neatly formatted copies of both the write up and the excel workbook.   2.     You should include a title page with your name, course, project name, and data. 3.     You should include page numbers in your report. 4.     Your results must be written in clear, professional English, with proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation.  5.     Your answers should be numbered according to the original question number.  6.     You must include proper formatting and descriptive titles, axis labels, and data labels on all graphs and tables.  7.     Copy and paste your excel tables and graphs AS PICTURES in your final write document.  8.     Graphs and tables should be number sequentially according to the way they appear in your write up (i.e. Figure 1: Hist…, Figure 2: Box…, Table 1: Data…, Table 2: Desc…, etc.). Be sure to reference the graphs and tables in your write up when reporting on the analysis.       Summary: Data from n=205 students in a statistics class for students in the social and behavioral sciences. The survey was done in the Spring semester of 2000. (Source: Mind on Statistics (Utts and Heckard)). The dataset has been modified for this homework.   Variable Names in order from left to right:                Column Name Description A Gender What is your gender orientation? (Male, Female, Non Binary) B Friends What gender do you find it easier to make friends with? (Opposite, NoDiff, or Same) C Tattoo Do you have a tattoo? (Yes or No) D EarPrc How many ear piercings do you have? E CDs How many CDs do you own? F Height What is your height (in inches)?   Getting to Know the Dataset: Create a new sheet called “Data Dict”. Create table in this sheet   1.     Create a table that lists all the variables in the data set. In this table, also include headings “Label” (a more thorough description of the variable, if needed); “General Type” (either quantitative or categorical); “Specific Type” (either identifier variable, discrete, continuous, nominal, or ordinal). Provide this information for each variable in the data set. Finally, include a heading “Measurement Units” and specify the measurement units for quantitative variables. Use N/A when there are no measurement units.       Univariate Quantitative Analysis: Copy and paste the quantitative variables onto a new sheet.  Name the sheet “Uni Quant”.  Create all tables and graphs in this sheet   2.     Provide a table of descriptive statistics for the quantitative variables (including measurements of central tendency and dispersion). Use the Descriptive Statistics analysis tool when possible.  3.     Create a histogram and boxplot for each the quantitative variables.  4.     For each the quantitative variables, explain why the mean or the median is the best representation of central tendency and the standard deviation or IQR of dispersion.  This is decided by examining the histogram and boxplot.  Identify the appropriate measures and state the associated values from the descriptive statistics table in your write up.       Univariate Categorical Analysis: Copy and paste the variables “Gender” and “Friends” into a new sheet. Name the sheet “Uni Cat”.  Create all tables and graphs in this sheet   5.     Create univariate frequency tables (frequency and percent) for the variables “Gender” and “Friends”. 6.     Create a bar chart and pie chart for the variables “Gender” and “Friends”. 7.     For each variables comment on the frequency distribution including the mode.             Bivariate Analysis 2 Categorical: Copy and paste the variables “Gender” and “Friends” into a new sheet. Name the sheet “Bi 2 Cat”.  Create all tables and graphs in this sheet   8.     Using the Pivot Table tool, provide a contingency table of “Gender” by “Friends”.  Have “Gender” represented by the rows and have “Friends” represented by the columns. Report the frequency counts and all three percentages – row, column and total. You will have four tables. 9.     Briefly explain the differences between these types of percentages displayed in each contingency table you created.   10. Use the frequency counts to create a stacked bar chart. Then create a 100% stacked bar chart. “Gender” should be represented along the x-axis, and “Friends” should be represented by the legend.   11. Describe the differences between these graphics and determine which graph is a better visualization of the relationship of the two variables.          Bivariate Analysis 1 Cat 1 Quant: Copy and paste the variables “Gender” and “Friends” into a new sheet. Name the sheet “Bi 1 Cat 1 Quant”.  Create all tables and graphs in this sheet   12. Perform a stratified analysis of the mean of the three quantitative variables by “Tattoo” status.  Compare and contrast the mean number of piercings, the mean number of CD’s, and the mean height between these two groups.  13. Create side-by-side boxplots of the “EarPrc” variable stratified by the “Tattoo” variable. 14. Comment on the distribution of “EarPrc” between each of the “Tattoo” groups       Bivariate Analysis 2 Quant: Copy and paste the variables “Height” and “CDs” into a new sheet. Name the sheet “2 Quant”.  Create all tables and graphs in this sheet   15. Create a scatterplot of the variables “Height” and “CDs” (this relationship doesn’t make logical sense, but we will examine it for illustrative purposes and practice with the tools) 16. If there is an outlier remove it, by deleting the observation, and rescale the axes to create a neater display. 17. Calculate the correlation coefficient and briefly describe on the relationship you observe between these two variables, based on shape, strength, and direction.     Confidence Interval: Copy and paste the variable “Height” into a new sheet. Name the sheet “Conf Int”.  Create the table in this sheet   18. Construct and report 90%, 95% and 99% confidence intervals for the quantitative variable, Height, in a table.   19. Interpret the 95% confidence interval in context.       Variable Creation: Copy and paste the variable “CDs” into a new sheet. Name the sheet “Var Create”.  Create the new variable and the table in this sheet   20. Create a new categorical variable using the “CDs” variable named “CD_Cat”.  Categorize the number music CDs each student owns (BelowAvg = 0 to 30, Average = 31 to 80, AboveAvg = more than 80) 21. Create a frequency table of the newly created categorical variable       Sampling: Copy and paste the dataset into a new sheet. Name the sheet “Sample”.  Create the random sample and the table in this sheet   22. Using the RAND function, generate a random sample of 30 observations. Display your sample with the random numbers in a formatted table.  23. Generate the descriptive statistics for the quantitative variables only for this sample and display them in a table.

Write a paper that highlights how theories can provide us with various perspectives for examining families. Describe a real family—either a family you know personally or a famous family. (The family should be unrelated to you.) If you choose a family that is not famous, be sure to protect the family members’ identifying information (name, workplace, etc.). Explain how this family might be understood using various theoretical perspectives that are discussed in your textbook. Choose three theories. Provide a summary of each theory, and apply each theory to the family you selected. Finally, explain which theory you find most compelling in terms of examining this family and explain why you find it so compelling. If your own personal experiences are influencing how you personally view the family, be sure to highlight that as your opinion (not as fact). Finally, explain how theories might be useful to professionals.

Fall Semester 00 Discussion -Week#2   As a social worker, you will meet children and adolescents who are in complicated family situations and may require a variety of resources for support. There are many times when these situations involve drug abuse, domestic violence, child abuse, and/or neglect. If these factors are present within a child’s or adolescent’s environment, it will impact their development. As mandated reporters, social workers are legally required to report any suspicion they have of child abuse or neglect to local authorities in an effort to ensure a healthier environment within which they can grow. For this Discussion, review the case study “Working with Clients with Addictions: The Case of Barbara and Jonah.” Consider this week’s reading in the Learning Resources.   This assignment is in paragraph form. Please read and following directions carefully. Graduate level writing.   1. Give an explanation of influences of Barbara’s and Scott’s substance use on Jonah’s future development. Describe an intervention that you would use for Jonah if you were the social worker in this case. Please use the Learning Resources to support your answer. (Give 10-12 sentences)   2. Give a response to a colleague’s post by offering an additional theoretical approach he or she could use in working with Barbara and Jonah. Please use the Learning Resources to support your answer. (I will provide this part to you for you to respond) (Give 4-6 sentences)   References are provided and please use APA only Plummer, S.-B., Makris, S., & Brocksen S. M. (Eds.). (2014).

Understanding human behavior and the social environment (11th ed.). Boston, MA: Cengage Learning. Chapter 2, “Biological Development in Infancy and Childhood” (pp. 45-94)   Greil, A., McQuillan, J., Lowry, M., & Shreffer, K, (2011). Infertility and fertility-specific distress: A longitudinal analysis of a population-based sample of U.S. women. Social Science & Medicine, 73(1), 87-94.     The Case of Barbara and Jonah Barbara is a 25-year-old, heterosexual, Caucasian female and is the mother of a 6-month-old baby boy. She is currently unemployed and has neither specific skills nor a college education. At the time we first met, she was living her with her son, Jonah, and her boyfriend, Scott (also Jonah’s father), in a home that her grandparents purchased for her. Scott, a 29-year-old, heterosexual, Caucasian male, is employed by a flooring company, although his work is not regular. Both Barbara and Scott have a long history of severe polysubstance abuse, including heroin addiction. They are both currently prescribed methadone. Jonah was born with severe birth defects due in part to Barbara’s and Scott’s drug use. Jonah remained in the hospital for several weeks after his birth, and during that time he underwent multiple surgeries. Among other abnormalities, he was born with two stomachs, one of which formed on the exterior of his body. He will need additional surgeries in the future and his stomach will never be fully functioning. The full extent of his disabilities is not certain at this time. When our sessions began, Barbara was experiencing financial problems and was trying to obtain Social Security Disability for Jonah. Because Jonah is unable to attend day care due to his fragile health, Barbara has had to stay home and has reported feelings of isolation. Due to the child’s condition at birth, the hospital staff had reported the family to the Department of Social Services to ensure that the parents would provide appropriate care for him and that the child would be safe in the home environment. After initial contact was established with the parents, a number of concerns were noted, and the family was recommended for additional case management services. Among the concerns were the parents’ denial about the extent of their substance abuse and its negative effects on their lives and their child’s life. Financial issues were a problem, and family support was limited only to Jonah’s maternal great-grandparents, who are elderly and not in good health. Scott’s parents had divorced when he was very young, and he had no relationship with his father, who also had substance abuse issues. Barbara’s parents divorced when she was very young, and she was raised primarily by her grandparents. She reported that her father was and remains an alcoholic. She presented as anxious and depressed and experiencing low self-esteem. She appeared to be bonded with her child and took very good care of him, although she clearly struggled with his health issues. She also struggled with her responsibility for his disabilities. She tried hard to educate herself about his health problems and learn how to parent in general. Initially, both parents were uncooperative and resistant to participate in the case management process. Scott felt that because he was going to a clinic every day for his methadone, he no longer had a substance abuse problem. I pointed out to him that this was a stopgap measure and he could not spend his life on methadone. I also pointed out that he needed greater insight into his problems in order to overcome them. He never really engaged in the process and frequently did not attend our scheduled appointments, saying he had to work. Barbara stated that he often was not really working and that he was still using drugs. Barbara seemed to feel that she did not really have a problem because she was not using street drugs, but was receiving her medications from a pain management clinic as the result of a motorcycle accident several years ago. As subsequent home visits were made, Barbara began disclosing her feelings to me and addressing some of her issues. All of my clients are involuntarily in the system, so I frequently utilize Carl Rogers’ person-centered approach because it seems to be the most effective method to establish rapport and ultimately achieve change. Having empathy for your client, encouraging them, and providing support is critical to facilitating change. Barbara and I made a list of the major issues that she needed and wanted to address and then prioritized them. We did some research to help her find possible solutions to her needs. Barbara was actively involved in the process and, over time, began to feel less overwhelmed. I encouraged her to begin individual therapy sessions, and she agreed to participate. I made the referral, and Barbara found a therapist with whom she really connected. She also began to disclose to me that there were other problems in her relationship with Scott, including incidents of domestic violence and a pattern of verbal abuse designed to affect her self-esteem. We engaged in a frank discussion with her grandparents, and they agreed to let her and Jonah come to live with them so that they would both be removed from any threat of harm and so that Barbara’s anxiety level could be reduced while she continued in therapy. One evening, Scott came to the grandparents’ home and was high and extremely intoxicated. He assaulted Barbara and her grandfather and was subsequently arrested. She obtained a restraining order and was committed to terminating contact with Scott due to his unwillingness to acknowledge his problems and make any positive changes. She continued with therapy and enrolled in the community college to obtain skills that would allow her to care for herself and child.
