Question 2 [20]

The Old Spice Man Spices Up Brand Marketing

When Isaiah Mustafa appeared in a 2010 Super Bowl commercial

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owGykVbfgUE]

with a towel wrapped around his waist and a bottle of Old Spice body wash in one hand, he kicked off a long-running viral marketing campaign that has rejuvenated the brand’s sales. Mustafa, a former NFL wide receiver, smiled into the camera and addressed women viewers, saying he was “the man your man could smell like” if they used Old Spice. The combination of his wryly funny lines, winning delivery, and buff physique made the commercial an instant YouTube hit. Suddenly, Old Spice, a pre-World War II brand that zoomed to prominence in the 1960s and 1970s, was an overnight social media sensation, with Facebook fans, Twitter comments, and consumer-generated spoof videos stirring up conversation around the world. The Old Spice Man campaign, created by ad agency Wieden & Kennedy for brand owner Procter & Gamble, had successfully added a relevancy and an affective appeal that was attracting and entertaining a younger audience than the brand’s traditional customer base and boosting sales significantly.

As soon as the first Isaiah Mustafa ad went viral, the agency followed up with a second commercial in the same humorous vein, again featuring the bare-chested Old Spice Man. Again, public response was so enthusiastic that the campaign geared up for a new and unprecedented social media blitz. This time, Old Spice invited users of Twitter, Reddit, and Digg – including celebrities and athletes such as Ellen DeGeneres, Demi Moore, and Apolo Ohno – to submit questions for the Old Spice Man to answer. As hundreds of questions poured in, consumers voted for the ones they wanted to see answered. Next, in a marathon three-day studio session, the agency scripted and Mustafa starred in 186 brief YouTube videos responding to individual questioners in typical wry style. When Kevin Rose of Digg.com tweeted that he wasn’t feeling well, the Old Spice Man answered with a “get well” video that Rose immediately mentioned to his more than 1 million Twitter followers.

The concentrated barrage of targeted, personalized tweets and entertaining videos stirred up enormous positive word-of-mouth among consumers. Just as important, Old Spice was the subject of many stories on TV and radio, in the blogosphere, in newspapers and magazines, and seemingly everywhere on the Internet where news commentators posted articles, podcasts, or videos. All the media coverage (for which the brand did not pay) fueled even more consumer interest in Old Spice. Within days of the Old Spice Man’s answer videos appearing online, the brand’s Facebook page collected more than 600,000 “likes” and the online videos were viewed more than 7 million times.

Procter & Gamble supported the social media campaign with discount coupons and other promotional efforts that reinforced brand awareness and offered an incentive to buy and try Old Spice products right away. Old Spice sales quickly skyrocketed, and the brand captured the market-leader position, despite competition from Unilever’s Axe, Beiersdorf’s Nivea, and Henkel’s Right Guard brands.

A year later, Procter & Gamble launched a new chapter in the Old Spice Man story. This time, Fabio – the model and star of many romance novel covers – appeared in online videos challenging Isaiah Mustafa for the title of Old Spice Man. This tongue-in-cheek, “mano-a-mano” competition consisted of 39 back-and-forth videos that drew millions of viewers and tens of thousands of social media comments. Consumers clicked to vote for the Old Spice Man they preferred, and after several days of hectic and humorous exchanges, Mustafa and Fabio appeared in one final video announcing that Mustafa had retained his title. The big winner, of course, was Old Spice, which gained even more brand awareness and enjoyed higher sales. Now Procter & Gamble is taking the Old Spice Man campaign on the road to universities and cities where consumers can try branded products and have their photos taken in poses reminiscent of the original Old Spice Man commercial.

CASE QUESTIONS

1. How is Old Spice using evaluative conditioning to influence consumers’ affective attitudes? Explain what evaluative conditioning is and then identify the conditioned stimulus (CS), unconditioned stimulus (UCS), unconditioned response (UCR), and conditioned response (CR) in this situation. [10]
2. What role does the dual-mediation hypothesis play in the Old Spice Man’s marketing success? Start your answer by explaining the dual-mediation hypothesis [4]
3. What aspects of the communication source are involved in influencing affective attitudes toward Old Spice? [4]
4. Do you think consumers will maintain a positive attitude toward Old Spice if the Old Spice Man campaign suspends messages for more than one or two months? Explain your answer. [2]

Public Speaking

THERE ARE TWO PART AND YOU WILK JUST BE WRITING THE CRITQUE FOR PART 1 for both students so I can recite it on video.

Week 4 Assignment

Peer Critique Speech

Peer evaluations have proven to be one of the most beneficial and impactful methods of improving one’s public speaking. It is also one of the hardest things to do, as a peer evaluation walks a thin line between constructive criticism and harsh opinion. Nevertheless, it’s a mainstay for a Public Speaking course, and you might be surprised at how helpful the advice of your classmates can be.

This week there are two parts to your assignment. Please submit both by the due date for full credit.

Part 1:

For this assignment, you are to evaluate the Week 3 Recitation Speeches of two different classmates, and also provide a critical analysis of your own recitation speech presentation. Then submit this in video form in the week 4 submission area (set up as a discussion). To find these speeches, please return to the week three discussion to select your classmates’ speeches for your review. Once you have completed your reviews (note the directions below), please post them to this forum.

Part 2:

Then, in the discussion message area, in 75 words or more, write the names of the two classmates you decided to critique and the names of the speeches they gave. Then share your own critique of your speech (briefly, save most of this for the speech itself) and what you’ll be working on for next week’s sales pitch speech.

Supreme Court Ruling Analysis

The Supreme Court is made up of nine justices who are responsible for deciding whether or not laws are in line with the U.S. Constitution. These individuals serve life-long appointments once they are nominated by the President and confirmed by the United States Senate. Below is a list of some of the most controversial decisions in the last few decades by the Supreme Court. These cases are often mentioned by politicians during campaigns because the issues are still debated, even after the Supreme Court’s ruling.

Write an essay analyzing one of the following key Supreme Court rulings:

National Federation of Independent Businesses v. Sebelius

District of Columbia v. Heller

Roe v. Wade (abortion rights)

Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission

Obergefell v. Hodges

Your essay must be at least 500 words long.

Answer these questions to complete your analysis of your selected Supreme Court ruling.

Tell the reader which of the five key Supreme Court ruling you selected to analyze.

What was the law being challenged in the case?

Tell me any of the states or government entities that were part of the case.

Who was the Petitioner in the Case?

What was the Petitioner’s argument?

Who was Respondent?

What was the Respondent’s argument?

What part or parts of the Constitution were discussed in the case?

Why were those parts of the Constitution discussed in the case?

What was the final Supreme Court ruling

oWhat was the final score of the case was (for example 5 to 4 or 7 to 2 or some other combo that, in most cases, adds up to 9)

oWhat was the date that the case was decided?

oWhich side won, was it the petitioner or the respondent?

oWhat did it mean that this particular side won?

This is the most important part of the assignment: how does this case currently impact your life and the lives of Americans? Explore the political and electoral consequences of the ruling. Don’t just say, for example in the case of Roe v. Wade, women can now have abortions because only a small percent of the population is of childbearing potential – how did the case impact everyone else more generally? Think about how even this current or most recent presidential election was impacted by the ruling you have analyzed.

Provide a reference list.

Please note: APA formatting and citations rules apply to this and all essays in this course.

As with all weekly written assignments, submit your work as an attached file. Double-space your paper and use 12 point Times New Roman as your font.

Aspects of Interactions

Consider your experiences at work, school, and in your personal life. You have, at some point, been asked to work with a group to achieve a particular goal. It might have been a group research project, a new marketing plan, a learning plan, a schedule to roll out new technology, planning a wedding, or even planning and creating a large family meal. In many collaborative efforts like these, there are disagreements. Select one collaborative experience from your past that involved some disagreements or significant differences of opinion.

Write a short (2-page) paper in APA style discussing the following elements:

1. .
2. Explain the problem that you encountered with the group. How was that problem overcome? What was the end result of encountering and dealing with that problem?
3. What do you think was the cause of the problem? How much of the problem came from miscommunication, either from you or from other people involved? What did you do to help resolve the problem?
4. If you were able to relive that experience, how would you change the way that you approached the encountered problem? How would you communicate differently?
5. How, ultimately, was the conflict resolved?

Foundational Concepts in Organizational Change

Week 2: Foundational Concepts in Organizational ChangeIntroductionConsider that you are working for an organization. Has any corporate change affected you or a coworker? Did communication play a role in the change process? How was the change communicated to you? Do you think it was well managed, or could it have been managed differently? The extent to which change affects people depends on how the change process is managed and communicated.

This week, you will focus on the congruence model of organizational behavior, which was developed and refined over time. You will learn about the types and cycles of organizational change and how employees react to these changes. You will also examine the impact communication has on managing change, as well as the role of dynamic change in the workplace.Learning OutcomesBy the end of this week, you will be able to:

Social Communication and Professional Communication

For this, you will be asked to generate posts on social media as it is used by businesses.

Your current employer is interested in using various social media to increase the company/organization’s profile in the area. The company/organization has also recently introduced a new product or service that your boss wants the general public to know about. You have been asked to create the initial contact to the public on both Facebook and Twitter.

1. Select a product or service that is appropriate either for your current job or for the career you intend to have.

2. Create two Facebook posts of up 100 words each announcing the product/service to the company’s Facebook audience and two tweets (limit 140 characters including spaces) for the company’s Twitter audience announcing the new product or service.

Strategic Goals the Defense Department planning goals

It is becoming increasingly important for organizations to demonstrate that they are of significant public value. This requires them to have clearly defined short-term and long-term strategic goals. As a current or future leader and manager, it is essential that you are not only able to help your organization develop these goals, but you must also help create strategies for meeting them. In this Discussion, you consider strategies for prioritizing and meeting short-term and long-term goals for the organization that you selected for your Final Project.

Post an explanation of strategies that you might use to define, prioritize, and meet short-term goals (1–4 years) for the organization that you selected for your Final Project. Include how the goals would support flexibility in an ever-evolving world. Then with a futurist context in mind, explain strategies that you might use to define, prioritize, and meet your organization’s long-term goals (15–20 years).

Nike

Specifically, you will focus on the ways in which Nike applied leadership thinking and strategy to address global perceptions as a response to the criticism the company faced during the 1980s and 1990s.

For example,

as noted on page 4 of the case study attached, Nike has a strong commitment to innovation, but at the same time, the company also believes in sustainable development.One might consider this emphasis on innovation

and sustainability to be a major driving force in terms of Nike’s overall views and goals.

Yet in the early 1990s, the company faced heavy criticism for its use of contracted factories in which working conditions were less than adequate.This critical response led to changes in the use of these factories as a response by the leadership team. The result was a change in policy and an improvement in conditions.

From this short example, you can sense the cycle in which CSR often develops. First, a company has a stated or inferred core value (sustainability); next, the company is faced with a critical event (in this case, criticism by consumers and the media); then, the company responds with a new policy or action changes in the use of oversea factories); and as a result, there are ramifications (increase in sales, etc.).

Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed in your paper.

• Describe Nike’s views and goals as related to CSR.
• Explain the evolution of Nike’s views and goals over time.
• Identify critical events that occurred over Nike’s History.
• Explain how the critical events affected Nike’s CSR policy.
• Describe how Nike Leadership responded to each critical event.
• Explain how the response was motivated by Nike’s views and goals.
• Identify the ramifications of Nike’s response.
• Explain how Nike acted in a proactive fashion (internally and externally in the creation of its new CSR policy.

Guidelines for Submission: Your “goals, events, and response” report must be 7- 8 pages in length and must be written in APA format. Use double spacing 12 -point Times New Roman font and one – inch margins.

ethics, values, and attitudes to evaluate and enhance personal leadership skills

·

Assess the intera

ctions between the external environment and the organization

to foster responsible and effective leadership and organizational practices

leadership skills

·

Integrate and apply analy

tical principles and skills to make strategic decisions

Background:

You have completed your role on the Succession Plan Committee.

You and your Group

identified leadership competencies for five internal positions and your group also

recommended some inte

rnal candidates for consideration of those positions.

As you are putting away your notes from the Succession Plan Committee meetings, you

come across this statement “These positions will need to be filled over the next 12

–

24

months.

There is not an immed

iate need for any of them currently, but vacancies will be

imminent.

The preference is to fill these internally…”

You cannot help but wonder, “why not me”? The more you read the description of the

open positions, the more you are convinced that you shoul

d put yourself forward as a

candidate for one of these leadership positions.

Instructions:

Step 1:

Leadership Competencies Table

Review the Leadership Competencies Table completed in Week Two to accompany the

Job Announcement. (You may also wish to revi

ew any feedback received from your

Instructor about your Table.)

Step 2:

Upcoming Open Positions at Biotech

Position #1:

Sales Director, Middle East

Location: Saudi Arabia

Answers to: Executive Director, Asia Division

Biotech’s Asia Division will be opening its first Middle East location in Saudi Arabia in

the next 12 months. A Sales Director will be needed to head up this new division. A

team of local salespeople will need

to be recruited, hired, and trained by this leader. It is

expected that this sales team may be largely men.

Two sources that are recommended for more information about doing business in Saudi

Arabia are:

Guide to Saudi Arabia Etiquette, Customs, Culture, and Business

Saudi Arabia

Management Guide

Position #2:

Director of Research and Development (R&D)

Location: Headquarters, Yonkers, NY

Answers to: VP of Headquarter Operations

R&D is at the heart of Biotech’s success and, indeed, its fut

ure. The leader of Research

and Development will lead a group of scientists and innovators, but does not need to be

a scientist himself/herself. R&D is located centrally at Biotech Headquarters because

R&D coordinates with all other departments and divisio

ns. This is a high profile

position.

Position #3:

VP of Headquarter Operations

Location: Headquarters, Yonkers, NY

Answers to: President and CEO

The Headquarters houses R&

D, HR, IT, Purchasing, and Finance. Each of these

departments has its own “subculture”, and each department is fairly distinct from each

other. The young, youthful subculture of IT often clashes with the conservative

subculture of the Finance department, f

or example. Many of the members of the

Finance and HR teams are baby boomers and are near retirement. This leader

oversees the smooth operation of all of these departments and ensures the coordination

of these departments with each other and with each of t

he four geographic divisions

across the world.

Position #4:

Executive Director, North American Division

Location: Chicago, Illinois

Answers to: President and CEO

This leader will head up the largest and most profit

able division of Biotech. This division

is seen as the “flagship” by the other divisions, since Biotech’s roots are in the United

States. This Executive Director has the “ear” of the CEO, and spends a lot of time with

the Barney family. This leader is face

d with spearheading the future direction of Biotech

in North America and is challenged with filling openings throughout the United States

and Canada caused by fast growth and a retiring Baby Boomer population.

Position #5:

Director of Finance

Location: Headquarters, Yonkers, NY

Answers to: Chief Financial Officer

This leader oversees the day to day operations of the finance department. This leader is

expected to aid in strategic planning with the executive team of B

iotech. Although a

finance background is not required, this person is expected to bring a conservative

approach to the strategic planning table, to balance out the high risk tolerance of the

rest of the leadership at Biotech. A “big picture” perspective is

definitely needed here

Step 3:

• M3 Assignment 2 SubmissionAssignment  Due December 5 at 11:59 PMAssignment 2: LASA 1 Assignment—The Leader as a Strategist Report
  For this assignment, you will choose an organization to analyze. This organization can be one you are personally familiar with, or one you have observed to be an effective organization, You now become a newly appointed senior leader in that organization.
  As a new leader, you must prepare a report for the CEO that assesses the organization’s overall alignment between its vision, mission, values, and strategy. This report should consist of the following sections:
  • An analysis of the strategic cascade of the organization
    This includes assessing the organization’s strategy and market position. Use the framework implied in Michael Porter’s (1997) article “What is Strategy.” When describing the business strategy of your organization, consider the following questions:
    • What is the target market (target customer)?
    • What is your organization’s value proposition (How does it deliver value that satisfies the target’s wants and needs?)?
    • How is your product or service positioned in the market (What specific features and attributes define the product/service and how is its value reflected in its pricing, distribution, marketing communications, etc.?)?
    • How is your organization sustainably different from your competitors (What is the source of uniqueness and how sustainable is it from being diminished by competitors?)?
  • A strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) analysis
    A SWOT analysis is a strategy planning tool that examines both internal and external environments for factors and trends that should shape planning and operations over the next five years. Environmental factors internal to the company are classified as strengths (to be leveraged) or weaknesses (to be mitigated), while external factors are classified as either opportunities (to be pursued) or threats (to be monitored and responded to).

Some primer questions for the SWOT analysis include the following:
Strengths

• What advantages does your organization have?
  • What do you do better than anyone else?
  • What unique or lowest-cost resources can you draw upon that others cannot?
  • What do people in your market see as your strengths?
  • What factors mean that you “get the sale”?
  • What is your organization’s unique selling proposition (USP)?
  • Weaknesses
  • What aspects of your product or service could you improve?
  • What market segments or competitive areas should you avoid?
  • What are people in your market likely to see as weaknesses?
  • What factors can make you lose sales?
  • Opportunities
  • What good opportunities can you spot?
  • What interesting trends are you aware of?Useful opportunities can come from such things as the following:
    • Changes in technology and markets on both a broad and narrow scale
    • Changes in government policy related to your field
    • Changes in social patterns, population profiles, lifestyle changes, and so on
    • Local events
  • Threats
  • What obstacles do you face?
  • What are your competitors doing?
  • Are quality standards or specifications for your job, products, or services changing?
  • Is changing technology threatening your position?
  • Do you have bad debt or cash-flow problems?
  • Could any of your weaknesses seriously threaten your business?
  • A summary of the internal environment, including the organization’s values and the key elements of the organization architecture that influence worker behavior.

Include the following characteristics when analyzing the internal environment:

• Structure: This includes the ways the organization assigns formal roles and responsibilities, decision-making authority, expertise and skills, and work tasks. Think of the organization chart and how its implied structure directs the decision making, resource allocation, and workflow of the organization. Is it consistent with the strategy?
  • Systems: This comprises the information flows that coordinate activities between groups and across the organization structure while helping direct worker behavior, including performance management, financial management, operating, forecasting and planning, and other regulating mechanisms. How do these systems help align workers and their actions with the strategy?
  • Culture: This consists of the unwritten rules and norms that govern worker behavior and help coordinate the activities across structural boundaries. Is the organization culture an enabler or impediment to the corporate strategy? What specific behaviors embedded in the culture support the strategy? What specific behaviors block the strategy?
  • A synthesis of the information evaluating the ability of the organization to implement the strategy using Kouzes and Posner’s Five Practices (for example, modeling the way) as a framework.

Include answers to the following:

• Company Culture
  • Describe the values and culture of your organization.
  • What are the values of your organization?
  • How are they reflected in the behaviors you see at work?
  • Employee Behaviors
    • Describe the behaviors in your organization.
    • Are these behaviors consistent with the business strategy?
    • Where do they conflict with the strategy?
    • What new behaviors are required to align with the strategy?

    • How might you and other leaders create new behaviors to support the strategy?
    • What specific actions would you implement to communicate, motivate, model the way, coach, inspire the vision, challenge the process, and encourage the heart?
  • Your response to each part of the assignment should be approximately three pages.
    Your final product will be in a word document and be approximately 6–8 pages in length and utilize 4–7 scholarly sources in your research.

State of nature

In Leviathan, Thomas Hobbes claims that when human beings are in a ‘state of nature’, ‘there is no place for industry, because the fruit thereof is uncertain: and consequently no culture of the earth; no navigation, nor use of the commodities that may be imported by sea; no commodious building; no instruments of moving and removing such things as require much force; no knowledge of the face of the earth; no account of time; no arts; no letters; no society; and which is worst of all, continual fear, and danger of violent death; and the life of man, solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.’ (Leviathan, Part 1, XIII)

Hobbes paints the ‘state of nature’ in very bleak terms. Is he right about the character of life without agreed-upon political authority? Critically discuss.

Business Ethics

A Personal Creed is similar to a Personal Mission Statement or a Personal Audit, so keep it short, concise, and clear, no longer than one page. But you must show how you arrived at the creed by defining terms and citing significant personal experiences and/or people (e.g., family, friends, teachers, coaches). Your creed reflects your underlying values. So, where do these come from? You should do this before you write your creed.

Which values or virtues are important to you? Why? Make a list. Then make a list of the people and events that have been important in your life. Why? What have been the negative experiences in your life? What have you learned from them?

The creed is a statement that reflects who and what you are as well as where you want to go. It is your narrative. You also may think of it in terms of the Purpose of You (as opposed to the Purpose of Business or the Purpose of Government).

Your creed is something to reflect on every day and should be your guide in everyday actions and decision-making. In this sense, it is lived out with others in community. So, ask yourself how does my creed and who I am affect others? How do others affect me? What needs to change in my life? What can I change?

The Personal Creed forms the basis of a Professional Creed or Mission Statement, which, in turn, fits into the organizational Mission Statement. How well aligned are your Personal Creed with your organization’s mission, whether you are an intern or full-time employee? What accounts for the degree of difference?

Note that the creed is not an action plan for career goals or self “branding.” It is a statement of who you are not as an employee, professional, or commodity but as a human being. The human being is the locus of ethical decision making in business and life in general.

Evidence-Based Practices

When treating clients, social workers must ensure that the evidence-based practice is appropriate for the client and the problem. Then, the social worker must get the client and other stakeholders to support the selected evidence-based practice. To earn that support, the social worker should present the client and stakeholders with a plan for implementation and evidence of the evidence-based practice efficacy and appropriateness. Social workers must demonstrate that they have carefully considered the steps necessary to implement the evidence-based practice, identified factors in the current environment that support implementation of the evidence-based practice, and addressed those factors that may hinder the successful implementation.

For this Assignment, you will take on the role of the social worker in the Levy case study (VIDEO ATTACHED). You will choose an evidence-based practice and attempt to gain the support of both the client and supervisor. To do so, you will address its efficacy, appropriateness, and factors that may impact implementation of the evidence-based practice that you chose.

To prepare for this Assignment, review Levy Episode 2. Then using the registries provided in this week’s resources and the Walden Library, locate an evidence-based practice that you believe would be appropriate for Jake’s case. Then, review the Evidence-Based Practice kit for Family Psycho Education from the SAMHSA website from the resources. Note all the steps and considerations involved in implementing the evidence-based practice and which of these considerations apply to this case. Consider issues such as agency support, resources, and costs that might support or limit the application of the evidence-based intervention that you select.

Instructions:

1. Post an evaluation of the evidence-based practice that you selected for Jake.

2.Describe the practice and the evidence supporting it.

3. Explain why you think this intervention is appropriate for Jake.

4. Then provide an explanation for the supervisor regarding issues related to implementation.

5. Identify two factors that you believe are necessary for successful implementation of the evidence-based practice and explain why.

6. Then, identify two factors that you believe may hinder implementation and explain how you might mitigate these factors.

Ethical Theory

Topic: Applying my Ethical Theory

Thread: For Discussion Board Forum 3, you devised your own approach to metaethics. Now it is time to see how well it can be applied to actual issues. Your assignment for this week’s Discussion Board is to briefly remind us of your approach to metaethics (this should only take a few lines) and then apply this approach to one of the issues in applied ethics that were discussed in the reading assignments. These issues ranged from familial problems through pacifism, poverty, the environment, business ethics, healthcare, sexuality, and life and death. Pick whichever one interests you most and in 500-600 words apply your metaethical theory to some aspect of the issue that was discussed in the reading in order to demonstrate what the moral approach to the issue is.

Be sure to carefully define your terms. You are encouraged to support your position with rational arguments, fitting examples, and expert sources. Any quotes or information used from sources other than yourself must be cited using footnotes in current Turabian format and will not count towards the total word count.

You will be penalized for falling short or exceeding the word count. This is a university-level writing assignment and therefore it must be carefully proofread, free of grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors. Do not use slang, emoticons, or abbreviations (as if you are texting or sending an email to a friend).

Define the part of theology that is technically known as theodicy

Choose one of the following topics and submit your response.Length: 500-750 words, double spaced, 12 pt. fontNote: Do not use external sources for this essay. The book chapters and the corresponding power point presentations should be sufficient.

1. Define the part of theology that is technically known as theodicy. Pick an example of extraordinary evil in the world and present it briefly. Use your example to explain the relevance of the problem of theodicy. Why is theodicy said to be more central to monotheistic religions than to other forms of religion?
2. What role does salvation play in religion, both for the individual and the whole community? Give an example of how an individual can perceive salvation and explain the ways he/she follows in order to attain it (for example, you can explain how a Buddhist perceives nirvana and seeks to achieve it by following the way of meditation).

Dual-Role Relationships in Social Work Practice

Consider this scenario:

You receive a hotline call at your mental health agency from a client requesting a same-day appointment. You are the only social worker available to work with clients at the time, as your coworker is out of town on vacation for 10 days. A 15-year-old boy struggling with depression (no suicidal ideation) and addiction calls asking for help. While you are gathering information over the phone, you realize that he happens to be the son of a friend. Do you continue the process, planning on providing him with services, or do you refer him to another mental health clinic that is over 30 miles away? Do you make him wait until your coworker returns? Do you contact his parents and tell them he called?

In certain geographical areas there may be limited resources and in turn a lack of opportunities for clients to obtain assistance. In some rural or otherwise isolated areas there might be situations that make it difficult to maintain ideal boundaries due to dual-role relationships. Dual-role relationships exist when a professional fills multiple roles at the same time, a situation that may be unavoidable in certain circumstances.

Understanding the significant impact of a dual-role relationship with a client is important in order to avoid harming the client. Further, recognizing the impact on the client and the relationship will assist in the creation of strong professional boundaries. In these situations, a social worker might feel his or her ability to maintain these boundaries is compromised or may even experience a value dilemma due to the existence of dual-role relationships.

Consider the importance of boundaries in a therapeutic relationship. Think about ways a social worker might violate the NASW Code of Ethics as it pertains to dual-role relationships. Is there ever a situation in which dual-role relationships are acceptable, or even preferable?

Post an explanation of how you might respond to the situation with the 15-year-old boy on the hotline. Include ways your decision may impact the client. Support your position with references to this week’s resources, professional experience, and additional research. How will you address a possible dual-role relationship?

Informed Consent in Social Work clinical Practice

Social workers are bound by the NASW Code of Ethics (2008) to provide informed consent with every client. A signed informed consent form protects the client and the social worker. It exemplifies the profession’s respect for its clients, allows for self-determination, and is the cornerstone of good social work practice. Sometimes, though, reporting of confidential information is mandated by law.

Post a description of the importance of confidentiality when working with your client. How does the principle of confidentiality impact the therapeutic relationship? Then, explain your understanding of mandated reporting and how it empowers vulnerable populations.

Support your posts with specific references to this week’s resources. Be sure to provide full APA citations for your references

Production of apple

Now, let’s imagine the economic geography of manufacturing of the future: in the year 2025. Background assumptions

• While there remains a wage gap between Eastern China and Northern Mexico, the gap has shrunk considerably. Currently, wage rates in Eastern China are now only 10% lower than in Northern Mexico (in 2013, the gap was roughly 24%; see, for example, this articleLinks to an external site.).
• Mexico retains its strong locational advantages relative to United States consumer markets.
• The Mexican government has engaged in a program to redevelop the Northern border as a high-tech competitor to Asia, with substantial investments in worker training, infrastructure, and so forth.
• Through economic growth, China has evolved a larger consumer market, and exports relatively less of the goods it produces.
• Because of a combination of startling economic growth in China and India, continued geopolitical conflict in the oil-rich Middle East, and dwindling discoveries of new oil reserves, oil prices have skyrocketed to over $200/barrel (more than twice what they were in 2013).
• Other intervening opportunities have emerged.

Before we proceed further, consider the processes underlying these projections; why am I making these assumptions? What is the changing geography they suggest?

Assignment

1. Consider these three possible scenarios for 2025:
   1. Apple produces most of its new iPhone 20s devices in Northern Mexico; factoring in all the costs of production and assembly, it’s just cheaper to produce there than in China.
   1. Apple continues to do all iPhone production and assembly in China.
   1. Proving Steve Jobs wrong (who, shortly before his death reportedly told President Obama that these “jobs aren’t coming back”; see Duhigg and Bradsher, 2012), Apple decides to move its assembly and production back to the United States, building massive new factories, and hiring hundreds of thousands of workers. Consumers happily pay 25% more for the products because they can now say “Made in the USA.”
2. Choose one of the above scenarios, and submit a 500-700 word essay that supports your choice, based on the above assumptions, and evidence of current trends from course readings and other material.
3. If you would like, you may consider variants of the above scenarios as well.
4. Your assignments must include proper APA citation of any data. The citations above are already in that format, so you may copy-and-paste them to include in your paper. Just make sure to then use them in text (Doe, 2013) and such

Theory and Research Related to Social Issue

The aim of this Capstone Project is to develop a research report  integrating knowledge gained from previous submissions that demonstrates  your ability to effectively utilize research pertinent to a social  issue addressed in some capacity by a health and human services setting.  As part of this culminating submission, you will provide a succinct but  efficient overview of content areas examined in your written  assignments from Weeks One through Four that will aid in the development  of an original intervention (i.e., strategy, application, or technique)  for human service professionals to utilize for your selected social  issue. This model intervention must be of your own design as opposed to a  review of an existing practice used to address this issue. You can,  however, use your knowledge of best practices to inform your  intervention. The Capstone Project is intended to demonstrate your  mastery of all learning outcomes related to the B.A. program in Health  and Human Services; therefore, successful completion will require  reflection, critical thinking, and knowledge of subject matter areas  addressed in previous coursework. You are strongly encouraged to refer  to the culmination of resources (e.g., textbooks, articles, websites,  library resources, etc.) in addition to those provided in the course in  the development of your submission.

The Capstone Project will include five components. The first four  parts will involve briefly summarizing the main points from each of your  previous written assignments. Do not copy and paste content from these  submissions.

Part I: Background of Social Issue (Week One Assignment; 1 page):

• Describe your selected social issue, its importance, and pertinent background information.
• Evaluate the impact of this social issue on the delivery of health  and human services efforts (e.g., formal organizational responses by the  U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, resulting legislation,  policies, etc.).

Part II: Theory and Research Related to Social Issue (Week Two Assignment; 1 page):

• Develop a brief research-based report demonstrating research theory  and methodology by analyzing the scholarly literature related to this  topic, including theories explaining the problem as well as research  studies and their associated methods and outcomes.

Part III: Best Practices Related to Social Issue (Week Three Assignment; 1 page):

• Apply a working knowledge of U.S. health and human services delivery  of care by explaining best practices related to the issue. What  interventions, strategies, or approaches have been shown to be most  effective as evidenced by research?

Part IV: Human Service Professionals Related to Social Issue (Week Four Assignment; 1 page):

• Explain how and where human service professionals are involved in  direct practice with populations affected by this social issue.
• Examine effective oral and written communication skills needed for these professionals to be successful.
• Analyze culturally competent health and human services elements  necessary for service delivery related to clients facing social issue.

Part V: Model Intervention (four to six pages):

• Lastly, apply your knowledge of U.S. health and human services  delivery of care as a whole to develop a model intervention in the form  of a service, program, or initiative (from your Week Three Assignment  proposal) for human service professionals who are working directly with  clients facing this particular issue. This intervention must be unique  in its approach and must be sufficiently supported by scholarly sources.

Specifically, you are to do the following:

• Describe the intervention in detail: what it is, how and why it will  be used, what makes it unique to other approaches, the population that  will receive it,and how the best practice will be integrated into the  intervention.
• Describe aspects of the delivery setting in which the intervention  will be used, such as location/setting (e.g., social/human services  agency, healthcare facility, in the field, etc.) and professionals  involved (e.g., roles/duties, necessary competencies and skills  required, etc.).
• Determine the components of successful health and human service  delivery relationships at the (a) individual, (b) family, (c) group, (d)  organizational, and (e) community levels. How will these components be  used to support your intervention?
• Describe how you will apply technology (i.e., specific tools and  resources) to deliver the intervention to clients facing the social  issue.
• Assess the intervention’s perceived strengths and limitations.
• Explain how the intervention will be evaluated to determine its effectiveness.

• Must document all sources in APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.
• Must include a separate references page that is formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.

Integrating Theory and Practice

As a social work student, it is important to understand the need for theory-informed practice. As you assess, intervene, and evaluate in your practice, theory is an essential foundation for clinical social work. The use of theory to inform and guide your practice is what establishes you as a professional. In working with clients, you should always be aware of the underlying theory of your clinical approach. Through this course, you will develop the ability to better articulate the theoretical base by which you choose your interventions. You will use theory in every decision you make as it guides you through your practice. Additionally, identifying the theories in assessing and creating change will make you a more confident and skilled social work practitioner.

Write a brief analysis and description of the importance of the use of theory in clinical practice. Then describe how the use of theory relates to the social issue of Military mental health and separation from family.

Comparative Cultures and Communication

The objective of Essay 2 is to compare the student’s culture to another one and to demonstrate the ability to see issues from the perspective(s) of other groups/cultures. You will use the Kluckhohn Model of Comparative Cultures.

• Compare and contrast the two cultures using the Kluckhohn Model of Comparative Cultures. What aspects of these two cultures are similar and what aspects are different?
• Determine how the styles of verbal and nonverbal communication are different for the two cultures.
• Describe situations in which it would be very likely to have a miscommunication between people from these two cultures, if the different communication styles are not know or recognized.
• Infer how people from the other culture feel the first time they interact with your culture. How would you feel in their situation? What would you like people from the other culture do to make you feel welcome?
• Propose recommendations for people of these two cultures to avoid potential misunderstandings or conflicts due to the differences in communication styles.
