Effect of Diversity on Work Relationships In social work, just like in any other type of workplace, diversity has a major impact on the relationship between the worker and the client.  Theoretically, issues such as gender, race, ethnicity and sexual orientation should not affect how a client and the official providing service should interact. However, the reality in many workplaces in the country is that these aspects have a bearing on how workers and clients relate. As they practice in the field, social workers encounter different problems that may be associated with the background of the people. Most of the social problems faced by African Americans, for example, will be different from those faced by whites or Latinos. Similarly, women and men will have different approaches to social problems. The diversity of clients has a major bearing on the way they will relate with social workers at the working stations and in the field. Social workers need to engage the clients in the change process in the workplace. One of the issues that social workers have to address in their…

Management and Social Wellbeing at Foxconn  Social wellbeing has emerged as one of the important topics among organizations. Today, the concept has transitioned from being a mere buzzword into a vital pillar of wellbeing besides financial, physical, and mental wellness. Unlike mental and physical wellbeing, which are self-explanatory, social wellbeing is rather complex. It denotes the degree of one’s sense of belonging, as well as social inclusion and stability. It pertains to individuals’ lifestyles, beliefs, and values.  In the workplace context, social wellbeing encompasses relationships with colleagues, managers, and the broader social security. It also includes feeling valued by both the company and colleagues; a sense of belonging and social inclusion; as well as organizational values and corporate responsibility. Social wellbeing can be perceived from two main perspectives, namely, employeeś socialization and relationships, and organization initiatives, including its culture and CSR practices. Thus, social wellbeing matters to the success of organizations as evidenced by the case of Apple’s partner, Foxconn plant in Shenhua Southern China. Foxconn Factory at Zhengzhou China, which allegedly manufactures about half of the world’s iPhone, has…

Stakeholder Responsibilities in Consumer Protection Part A: Unauthorized Immigrant Workers at Chipotle Mexican Grill Restaurants The inclusion of unauthorized immigrants is a form of workplace diversity. In reference to the Chipotle Mexican Grill Case, the hiring of immigrant workers shows how diversity plays a role in the business world.  The difference with other forms of workplace diversity, such as the consideration of racism, sexism, and ethnic discrimination, among others, can be observed. Being an unauthorized immigrant creates workplace diversity. According to Yang (2019), several organizations are seeking to adopt policies aimed at securing oversees human resources. For instance, the Japanese government adopted a policy aimed at securing oversees human resources because companies and industries are working towards ensuring that foreigners contribute towards their government policies (Yang, 2019). Cultural diversity is brought by immigration, whether it is authorized or not.  For instance, Yang (2019) notes that the cultural diversity that comes with the workforce is more beneficial than keeping native workers. Merck, the FDA, and the Vioxx Recall. Introduction Merck & Co., Inc. is a pharmaceutical company that is research-driven and…

Biblical Worldview for Effective Coaching Defining a Christian coach is the first step to understanding Christian coaching. However, it is equally important to clarify what life coaching entails. Generally, coaching is an art that is always rapidly growing. Caching involves intervening in someone’s situation and helping them identify their strengths and weaknesses, including where they are, where they want to be, and how they can get there (Collins, 2014). In the same way, Christian coaching also assumes the concept of helping others become a better version of themselves regarding the Christian worldview. Based on the concept, Christian coaching is an art of practice that is aimed at assisting either an individual or a group through their spiritual journey. Based on the scripture, a Christian coach is responsible for not only helping others believe in God’s plan for their life but also facilitates self-discovery of the same plan (Collins, 2014). With Christian coaching, a biblical approach is applied to allow someone to achieve their goals in mind. That means that a Christian coach is more than a mere counselor as counseling often…

Microaggressions Part A: The Concept of Microaggressions Microaggressions refer to the brief, stunning verbal, non-verbal, or environmental actions that communicate hostile and derogatory messages to the minority groups in society (Sue & Spanierman, 2020). Microaggressions occur in daily exchanges among people and may be intentional or unintentional. They are seen as subtle insults, which may affect people differently depending on the extent of the offense designated to the target. Microaggressions affect different minority groups, including but not limited to the people of color, women, people with disabilities, religious minorities, and LGBT persons (Sue & Spanierman, 2020). Instances of microaggressions are usually minimal and may appear harmless to the target. However, when such instances constantly occur throughout someone’s life, the consequences may harm them psychologically and emotionally. What separates microaggressions from social faux pas is the intent of the perpetrator to cause harm to the target. A social faux pas is usually a social blunder or a mistake people often make in social contexts. A social faux pas is mostly unintentional, and the effects are less harmful compared to the effects…

THE BATTLE OF MIDWAY DURING WORLD WAR II Background Information The Battle of Midway was a significant naval battle between American forces and their Japanese counterparts during the Second World War. It was the third encounter between the two parties in six months. It came one month after the Coral Sea battle and six months after the Pearl Harbor attack. The battle began on June fourth and lasted for three days up to June seventh, 1942. The defeat of the Japanese forces was a strategic victory for the Allies since it eliminated the impact of Japan in the pacific region. The effect of the defeat was a reduction in Japanese capacity to replace the losses in men and aircraft within a short time and continued with the war at the same intensity. The Battle of the Midway was a contrast of two military strategies and capabilities. Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, the Commander in Chief of US Pacific, was up against Admiral Yamamoto Isoroku, the Commander in Chief of the Imperial Japanese Navy combined fleet. In comparison to Yamamoto complex Operation…

Goals of Archaeology             Archaeology involves the scientific study of past human cultures. Archaeologists study the reconstruction of extinct cultures using remains of past human behavior or other things that people made and used in the past.  Archeology involves the collection of material remains, usually regarded as artifacts, to examine and date past cultural processes.  The study of archaeology achieves various goals that help individuals understand the evolution of world cultures. One of the fundamental goals of archaeology is to reconstruct the accounts of past human events as they were played out throughout time. Archaeology considers various past events, dates them, and develops a chronological sequence. Therefore, it provides a detailed report of where and when certain cultural events took place (Lewis, Jurmain, and Kilgore 181). Providing a detailed chronological account of past human cultures is the most important aspect of archaeology because it helps answer important questions about the human past. People get to determine when certain tools were invented in human history, how they were used, and how they have continued to evolve to date. Thus, archaeology provides…

Reflection on the Interview Process Approach to the Interview The approach I took for the interview considered the fact that the topic is an open one, and would require creating an environment that allows the participant to express himself fully. Interviews and focus group discussions are often the most utilized data collection methods in qualitative research.  For that reason, settling for a semi-structured interview would come in handy in gathering relevant data for the study.  Semi-structured interviews often consist of a set of questions that help define what areas should be explored, including allowing the interviewer and the respondent to be open to new ideas or responses to ensure a smooth flow of the discussion. An interview format guides participants on what talk about, which might be a solution to answering unclear or complicated questions. Such flexibility allows for the elaboration of vital information that may not have been thought about by either the participant or the interviewer. Telephone interviews are a standard method of data collection as they help bridge related barriers, including environmental and interpersonal factors. However, the…

Community Nursing: Homeless Population, Disaster in the Community The major health problems among the various homeless aggregates in my community The U.S. has experienced homelessness issues for decades as affected communities struggle to find solutions. Polcin (2015) notes that the U.S. reported over 600,000 homeless people on any given night in 2013. Due to the increased funding for homeless populations in the country, the number of homeless people has decreased over time. For instance, the overall homelessness decreased by 3.7 percent between 2012 and 2013 (Polcin, 2015). The U.S. has focused on channeling funds to support homeless programs, such as permanent housing, emergency shelters, and Veterans Administration programs. Despite these efforts, homeless people face health problems that require urgent intervention measures before addressing the underlying socio-economic issues contributing to homelessness. Homelessness is a crucial driver of poor health among homeless populations. According to Stafford and Wood (2017), homeless populations fail to seek early interventions for their health problems, and any injury or illness affecting them may be reported at an advanced stage. As a consequence, homeless people have presented significant…

Description Paula and David are looking forward to buying their first home. They have been renting a small apartment for the past four years to save enough money for a down payment. Currently, the couple has $25,000 set aside in an earmarked account. They also have access to about $20,000 through loans on their two employer-sponsored retirement plans. Paula’s parents have said they can help the couple out with a gift of $10,000 if they need it for the down payment or closing costs. The couple’s monthly finances will be tight as homeowners, at least until they get their next raises, which they are expecting in a year or two. Paula and David have found three properties—all very different—that they are considering. As is typical, all of the homes meet some of their needs, but none of the homes meet all of their needs. The couple loves the convenience that city living offers. Not only are they near places to do shopping, restaurants for dining, and entertainment, they are just a short walk from public transportation. This has allowed them…
