Competency 3: Advance Human Rights and Social, Economic, and Environmental Justice Social workers understand that every person regardless of position in society has fundamental human rights such as freedom, safety, privacy, an adequate standard of living, health care, and education. Social workers understand the global interconnections of oppression and human rights violations and are knowledgeable about theories of human need and social justice and strategies to promote social and economic justice and human rights. Social workers understand strategies designed to eliminate oppressive structural barriers to ensure that social goods, rights, and responsibilities are distributed equitably, and that civil, political, environmental, economic, social, and cultural human rights are protected. Social workers: apply their understanding of social, economic, and environmental justice to advocate for human rights at the individual and system levels; and engage in practices that advance social, economic, and environmental justice. For this assignment, students are required to consider the various populations social workers may work with. For example: The Aged People experiencing substance abuse/dependence Children who have been neglected or abused People experiencing poverty, unemployment, homelessness, or hunger Veterans or people in the military People with mental illness or other disabilities Immigrants Survivors of human trafficking, sexual assault, domestic violence, or child abuse People experiencing grief, loss, or trauma Communities with pervasive social problems (i.e. racism, violence, poverty, unemployment, etc.) People experiencing lack of access to technology, education, or clean water, air, or food Students are to select one population and consider barriers to social justice that the selected population may be experiencing to design a plan for advocacy to advance human rights and social, economic, and environmental justice for the population. Students will write an 8-10-page paper (not counting the title and references pages) using APA 7th edition guidelines *An abstract should not be included in this paper. Students will write a paper outlining the human rights advocacy plan and addressing each of the following topics using the headings as outlined below: Provide an introductory paragraph describing what the paper will be addressing, including: The population targeted for advocacy The barriers to human rights and/or social, economic, or environmental justice experienced by the population The reason(s) why the issue should be of concern to social workers (support this using a citation from the NASW Code of Ethics or an NASW policy statement) Population (K) Provide a demographic description of the population, including statistical data from credible sources (.gov, .org., .edu website, or scholarly articles), describing the following if known: Size of the chosen population (How many people are affected by this or how many people are included in the group?) Age Gender Race/ethnicity Socioeconomic status Education level Occupation Geographic locale Barriers Experienced (K) Provide a description of the barriers to human rights and/or social, economic, or environmental justice experienced by the population, including data from credible sources (.gov, .org., .edu website, or scholarly articles) that includes all of the following: Students will identify the primary barrier(s) faced by the chosen population (i.e., racism, homophobia, sexism, poverty, geographic access, etc.) Students will describe how these primary barrier(s) limit the population’s access to human rights and/or social, economic, or environmental justice. Students will identify at least two theorized causes of the identified barrier(s) using credible sources (.gov, .org., .edu website, or scholarly articles) to support their assertions. Advocacy Efforts (K) Students will identify at least one current major law, proposed legislation, and/or advocacy movement aimed at overcoming the barriers and interpret what the goals, objectives, and anticipated outcomes of these efforts might be. Name and describe a minimum of three organizations that are currently working to improve the population’s access to human rights or social, economic, and environmental justice. (Be sure to include at minimum three sentences for each organization summarizing who they are, when their efforts began, and what the organization is doing to advance the rights and justice of the population, and include correctly formatted in-text citations) For each organization, determine how one could become involved in the effort and describe the process of becoming involved, if it is possible (again, remember to cite where this information was found). Based on what was learned about existing efforts, provide a statement about any gaps noticed or ideas for alternative or additional advocacy efforts that might be taken. Plan for Advocacy (S) As an emerging social worker, develop a plan to participate in advocacy on behalf of the population identified which includes each of the following: Restatement of the population and barriers faced Explanation of why the barrier(s) limit(s) human rights or social, economic, or environmental justice A description of how you could become involved in advocacy efforts already underway The identification of an alternative plan to advocate for the population’s access to human rights or social, economic, or environmental justice which may include any of the following suggested advocacy activities (students are not limited to these activities and may be as creative as desired in designing their advocacy plan): Helping individuals directly Policy advocacy Creating public awareness Working with organizations or communities Increasing public support Advocating with groups, organizations, or communities to remove barriers A description of how, step by step, the plan would be implemented. Reflection (C/A) In the final section, reflect on your learning from this assignment regarding the population and their experiences, about the efforts already in place, and about the process of developing your own advocacy plan. Discuss personal feelings related to the importance of advocacy on behalf of the population and whether you plan to be involved in advocacy on behalf of the population given what you now know.

The post Competency 3: Advance Human Rights and Social, Economic, and Environmental Justi appeared first on homework handlers.

Write an essay of 4-6 pages, include two secondary sources (essays/books on history, America, the play, the author, literature, etc) and MLA citations. You may certainly use literary devices if they support your point with, say, symbolism, characterization, or word choice.

How does the play exemplify the concept of the American dream — the idea that anyone can do well if he/she works hard? Does this work even when race is factored in? What about the power struggle between Mrs. Younger and her son? Do the characters succeed?

Compare with Les Blancs. Does the author have different messages about race relations in the two countries of the two stories?
