Course: Planning the Project

Jon, a 9-year-old African American boy, was removed from his home due to maltreatment and placed in a foster home headed by a Caucasian lesbian couple.

/in /by

Family and school represent the primary institutions that structure children’s lives. When family is not able to provide the safety and stability a child needs, that child’s school performance may suffer. Social workers are called to bridge the worlds of school and home with the role of ensuring that families have the support needed for their children to be able to succeed in the academic environment.

To prepare consider the following scenario: Jon, a 9-year-old African American boy, was removed from his home due to maltreatment and placed in a foster home headed by a Caucasian lesbian couple. The social worker is considering permanency planning. The foster family loves Jon and would be willing to adopt him. Jon likes his foster family but wants to return to his biological family. Due to his biological parents’ substance abuse, it is not clear whether or not they will be able to regain custody.

  • Explain the developmental and ecological factors that need to be taken into consideration when serving this child and family.
  • What might be the role(s) of a social worker in supporting Jon and both his biological and foster families?

Criminological Theory Paper 1

 

Data from 2020 showed a sizeable increase in homicide across the country. Why this increase occurred is a topic of much debate in the field of criminology. Using one of the major theories discussed thus far, explain why this rise has occurred and whether it is likely to continue post-pandemic. Be sure to explain the logic of the theory in general as well as how this theory would explain why this increase has occurred. Be sure to cite relevant research as appropriate. Finally, if your theory is correct, how should our city have responded to this increase (or, what could our city have done to prevent it)? In other words, what would reduce this increase in homicide from your theoretical perspective

Under current GAAP, how much revenue should Construction Company, Boat Builder and BMW recognize in 2012 and 2013? 

/in /by

Assignment answer the following question: Under current GAAP, how much revenue should Construction Company, Boat Builder and BMW recognize in 2012 and 2013?

Accountants from Construction Company, Boat Builder Company and BMW are discussing revenue recognition. All are calendar year companies. A description of the production process of each company follows.

Construction Company builds homes on lots it owns. It currently is building a home for Billy Bob (BB). The terms of the contract required BB to pay the entire $200,000 price of the home on the date the construction contract was signed (October 1, 2012). The advance payment protects BB from a forecasted increase in home prices. The contract promises BB that he can move into the house no later than 9 months from when he signs the contract (June 30, 2013). The total expected cost of completing the house is $150,000. If the house is not completed by June 30, 2013 Construction Company must pay BB a $1,500 penalty each week until he can move into the house.  Construction Company spends $20,000 to lay the foundation for the house in 2012. It completes the house for $2,000 under budget on July 1.

Boat Builder Company currently is completing work on a boat that a customer contracted for on September 30, 2012 and expects to take delivery of on August 1, 2013. The $200,000 fixed price contract does not obligate the customer to pay Boat Builder until the boat is delivered and the title transfers to the customer. The boat is a basic design offered by Boat Builder. Customers individualize the basic boat by selecting custom trim, accessories and other finish details. Boat Builder typically fulfills specific customer orders rather than holding boats in inventory. If the customer cancels the contract prior to delivery, Boat Builder must be paid for any work completed up to that date. Boat Builder incurs initial design and selling costs of $10,000. Boat Builder’s actual and expected building costs are

$150,000, which consists of raw materials of $50,000 and labor costs of $100,000. The raw materials are purchased on October 1, 2012. Raw materials are consumed and direct labor costs are incurred evenly over the construction period.

BMW agrees to sell Joe Customer a new BMW 650i for $85,000 on December 4, 2012 through one of its company-owned dealerships. The cost to BMW to produce the car is $60,000. Because of the highly specified nature of the options requested by this customer, BMW must build the car from scratch, a process that will take 8 weeks. BMW anticipates delivering the vehicle on February 1, 2013.

Describe two times when there was a moment of silence in the conversation between the social worker and the client.

/in /by

Imagine you are talking to a friend in a coffee shop. The conversation is punctuated with long stretches of silence, during which you are each watching those around you. Are you comfortable with that silence, or are you anxious to fill it? Social workers seek to avoid thinking of silence as awkward. Instead, they need to cultivate silence as a tool for gathering information about their client. How a client reacts to silence can be very telling; is the client squirming uncomfortably, disengaging, or reflecting on the conversation?

In this Discussion, you explore silence as an interviewing skill that assists you in learning more about your client.

watch the Southside Community Services video.

  • Describe two times when there was a moment of silence in the conversation between the social worker and the client.
  • Explain whether these moments of silence were awkward or helpful to the interviewing process. Include an explanation of how the client appeared to feel in these moments.
  • Explain whether or not these moments of silence helped the client share information.

Generation X

  • DUE:  Assignment #2
  • READINGS:  Sticking Points: Chapter 6
  • This week we are reading Chapter 6 in Sticking Points.  We are focusing on Generation X.
  • Generation X (the smallest generation) makes up approximately 20% of the workforce.  Generation X grew up during a time that marriage in our society was changing.  The divorce rate soared during their childhood years and their mothers entered the workplace in large numbers. Gen X are the “latchkey kids” and often grew up unsupervised forcing them to teach themselves about life and become responsible at a very young age.  Often times, these children of the Baby Boomers created their own families in their strong friendships.  This was the first generation to introduce “casual Fridays” and a more casual look at work overall.  This generation thinks very differently than Traditionalists and Baby Boomers and does not do well being “micro managed” in the workplace.
