Part 1 (Introduction, Literature Review, and Research Questions/Hypotheses)

Explain how changing demographics and urbanization may impact the U.S. criminal justice system.

In America increased urbanization and the increase in the number of poor and uneducated may be some of the best possible predictors for violence. However, this view does not take into consideration the genesis of these increased levels of violence. During the period surrounding the American Revolution, crime-prone areas were identified and systematic responses established to address them. This was also the period of the first identified serial killings. It was a period of great transition and self-identification of the U.S. criminal justice system.

Immigrants migrated to American cities of the North, creating issues of space and a struggle for resources. This battle for the basic necessities of life and progress is one factor that can lead to an increased level of violence. For this Discussion, you should identify an article from the Walden Library in a refereed criminal justice journal (published within the last 2 to 3 years) that discusses crime, immigration and changing demographics in cities. Consider the relationship between changing demographics and urbanization on crime.

Discussion 1: Factors Contribution to American Violence

For this Discussion, you explore factors that may have contributed to the unique nature of American violence.

Post by Day 3 the perspectives you gained from the article regarding urbanization, crime, demographics, and factors that contribute to the unique nature of American violence. Explain how changing demographics and urbanization may impact the U.S. criminal justice system.

What image of society and the kinds of adults that populate it seems to correspond with your vision of knowing/learning?

Please help!! I need this paper done today and the instructor that did it gave me one that is 51% plagarism.  I have attached the copy that she gave me but it is not usable. I have also attached screen shot of Turnitin showing the similarities.  This is due TODAY!

As suggested in the required articles and video for this assignment, the definition of what a personal epistemology is has been debated. However, developing a personal learning epistemology is important because it is foundational to how we think. Without a multifaceted understanding of how we obtain knowledge, how we rely on our intelligences, and how we expand ideas in our minds, we have no intelligible path for our beliefs. A rigorous learning epistemology is essential to comprehensive reasoning and thinking.

 

Based on your current and newly developed knowledge as well as the required resources for this assignment, apply basic research methods to align the content of the information in the required course resources this week with your personally constructed learning epistemology. Apply skeptical inquiry to develop your personal epistemological beliefs through reflection on the questions below. Be aware that these questions are not the only considerations that might be included, and they should not be used verbatim; rather, they can serve as guides as you begin the process of creating your personal epistemology.

 

What can we know?

 

How can we know it?

 

What do/should individuals need to learn, and why?

 

What purpose(s) should education serve?

 

How do you believe persons acquire knowledge best?

 

What image of society and the kinds of adults that populate it seems to correspond with your vision of knowing/learning?

 

What do you believe about the way students learn and why they may (or may not) want to learn?

 

Why do we know some things but not others?

 

How do we acquire knowledge?

 

Is knowledge possible?

 

Can knowledge be certain?

 

How can we differentiate truth from falsehood?

 

Why do we believe certain claims and not others?

 

According to Plato, knowledge is a subset of that which is both true and believed. Do you agree or disagree?

 

After developing basic answers to the questions above and considering the impact of understanding how one’s own conscience awareness of knowledge and learning  may affect individual development and beliefs manifestations, research a minimum of five peer-reviewed articles in the Ashford University Library that can be used as support sources for your personal learning epistemology. Your learning epistemology must include six to seven key points with supporting rationales regarding your beliefs on learning and knowing.

 

Apply professional standards to your explanation regarding how knowledge is developed by providing references for any theoretical perspectives, historical trends, and/or empirical findings you include in your epistemology. Additionally, your personal epistemology should be an authentic and truthful explanation about your current beliefs about learning and knowing, as supported by your research, and not merely reflective of what you think your instructor or peers want to hear.

 

The paper should not include any elaborate quotes; it should be scholarly in nature with citations throughout.

 

The paper:

 

Must be three double-spaced pages in length, not including the title or references pages, and formatted according to APA style

 

Must begin with an introductory paragraph.

 

Must address the topic with critical thought and support all assertions with peer-reviewed sources.

 

Must end with a conclusion that synthesizes your belief statements about knowing and learning.

 

Must use at least five peer-reviewed sources

 

Must document all sources in APA style

 

Must include a separate references page that is formatted according to APA style

Explain how you, as a social worker, might apply a systems perspective to your work with Lester Johnson.

Zastrow and Kirst-Ashman (2016) stated, “Clients are affected by and in constant dynamic interactions with other systems, including families, groups, organizations, and communities” (p. 35-36). As a social worker, when you address the needs of an individual client, you also take into account the systems with which the client interacts. Obtaining information about these systems helps you better assess your client’s situation. These systems may provide support to the client, or they may contribute to the client’s presenting problem.

For this Discussion, review “Working With People With Disabilities: The Case of Lester.”Consider the systems with which Lester Johnson, the client, interacts. Think about ways you might apply a systems perspective to his case. Also, consider the significance of the systems perspective for social work in general.

Post a Discussion in which you explain how multiple systems interact to impact individuals. Explain how you, as a social worker, might apply a systems perspective to your work with Lester Johnson. Finally, explain how you might apply a systems perspective to social work practice.
