(https://www.yahoo.com/news/stacked-deck-police-forces-away-145846821.html). The article is based on a significant issue in our society today, addressing police brutality and how they manage to get away with the crime. According to the article, police kill at an average of 100 people in a year. However, since a different system of legal rules governs the police, they can get away with murder through prosecutorial discretion. Another important point from the article is that police brutality is racialized, and therefore justice does not apply to the racially discriminated people. With a compelling real-life story of how police get away with murder, Scher (2020) demonstrates some of the ways that they get away with murder, such as through favor from the legal system, prosecutors’ failure to try the case, and special privileges from civil lawsuits. This article is a significant representation of the discussions available in the module content in the sense that it is a social phenomenon that…

  Theory Integration Narrative-collaborative therapy is considered as one of the leaders in family therapy. It is because they are firmly rooted in the social construction of a person’s thoughts. As ta therapist, it is crucial to understand the features of various counseling theories for their long term identity in the field. This theoretical framework is unique because it allows clinicians to explore the differences between the two theories: the narrative and collaborative approach, which propels continued treatment evolutions and progress from the conversation. Some of the challenges that I may encounter while attempting the theory integration include the under-preparedness by me, thus making the process as complex, given the strength and weakness contributing to my potential. The learning methods that aim at empowering social workers to gain the required skills, knowledge, and attitude are always below the set standards making it difficult for me to integrate social work theory into practice. Theory integration is essential because it leads to the development of a suitable framework that benefits the practice and clients. Some of the benefits include increased therapeutic intervention.…

Spanish Flu Introduction In 1918, Spanish flu was known to have killed at least a third of the world’s population, causing a global pandemic (Mozes, 2020). According to historical reports, the virus killed more people than the Great War. This significant death toll is estimated to be more than the subsequent pandemics during the 20th century, which makes it essential to research critical information about the properties that contributed to its virulence. The biological properties that confer virulence to pandemic influenza viruses warrant further study as it has not been well understood. Studies report that research into such information has helped health professionals to devise workable strategies for early diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of similar viruses. Therefore, further study would cause a better understanding of how the individual genes of the 1918 virus contributed to the disease process. That way, researchers can have an insight on the basis of virulence. The health workers can also evaluate the effectiveness of current, and future interventions should an event such as a 1918-like virus reemerge. For instance, better antiviral drugs can be designed.…

The Aftermath of Reconstruction During the reconstruction period, the federal government enacted some laws to protect the rights of the freedmen at the south. It is worth noting that during the reconstruction period, more than 2000 African American secured government jobs. These people were African -Americans who were formers slaves. By 1870s, the Democrats were slowly gaining power over the Southern states. This could be associated with the elections in which guerrilla groups intimidated opponents, attacking of African -American and preventing them to vote.  In the New South, tension between the blacks and whites continued.  Although a small percentage of black Americans secured job opportunities at steel mills and iron foundries, they were barred from textile factories.
