Deserving and Undeserving Poor Concepts in Social Development.

/in /by

Provide a 8 pages analysis while answering the following question: Deserving and Undeserving Poor Concepts in Social Development. Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide. An abstract is required.

Inequality within the society can hinder social interaction and create discrimination if the society does not pull together to help the less fortunate (Jacobs 2010, pp. 61-62). The development of society will ensure efficiency, quality, productivity, and cohesion within society. In this respect, poor people are of two main groups namely, the deserving poor and the undeserving poor. Certain policies and programs help in dealing with the deserving poor and the undeserving poor, so that the overall society can be uplifted economically, socially, spiritually, and intellectually (Segal 2010, pp. 191-193). In as much as human service organizations regularly engage in social development programs, the concept of ‘deserving and ‘undeserving’ poor does not entirely in the development and implementation of social policies and programs.

The concept of deserving and undeserving poor has sparked heated debate in various political, social, and economic platforms across the globe. The deserving poor are people who are poor because of circumstances outside their control or unfortunate incidents such as unemployment, accidents, and job layoffs. On the other hand, the undeserving poor, just as the name suggests, are poor people who are entirely responsible for their poverty perhaps because of drunkenness and laziness (Romano 2014,&nbsp.pp. 23-24). It is difficult to allocate the right resources to the less fortunate because of the mixture of the deserving and undeserving poor within any given society.

Some cases truly deserve consideration, for example, of the elderly and the disabled. Others, like the opportunistic poor people, do not deserve any help from humanitarian organizations, especially if such people had the chance to make their future (Furnham 2012, pp. 196-198).During the Victorian times, the issue of morality as it appertains to social development was raging, many people wanted to define the concept of ‘undeserving and ‘deserving’ poor in a moral way that did not disenfranchise anyone.

The topic emerged&nbsp.primarily because the poor people were increasing in number with most of them falling in various categories. There were the criminals who deserved no pity and genuinely poor people.

Discussion on Psychotherapists Ability to Maintain Confidentiality.

/in /by

Hello, I am looking for someone to write an article on Psychotherapists Ability to Maintain Confidentiality. It needs to be at least 1250 words. People seek counseling when they are in psychological and emotional distress. They approach counselor only when they realize that they won’t be able to handle the situation or find the solution to their problem, on their own. However, discussing a personal matter with a ‘stranger’ is not an easy thing to do. Hence, the client’s right to privacy gave birth to the concept of confidentiality in the field of counseling and psychotherapy. Even in the case of group counseling, sharing the personal information of the client with others in a group without his permission can be destructive and damaging to the relationship and the goals of counseling. Without confidentiality, the rate of success of counseling will be very low. The development of trust and productiveness of counseling depends on ‘confidentiality’ to a great extent. Hence, to help the client become comfortable by making him trust the counselor with his personal issues and problems, the counselor is legally and ethically required to discuss the nature and the purpose of confidentiality right in the beginning of the counseling process. This helps in the development of trust between the counselor and the client and brings forth in the sessions the most important aspect of client and that is, the ‘real self’.

The agreement on confidentiality right at the beginning of the counseling process relieves the tensions and hesitancy that client has regarding his privacy, and helps the client to bring the ‘real self’ in the sessions. The clients reveal their true feelings, thoughts, and emotions about the private aspects of their lives, only when they are sure that the private conversation that they are having with the counselor will remain private. Confidentiality increases the chances of the client being frank and open when discussing things with the counselor. Hence, when they are assured of confidentiality, they disclose the deepest aspects of their personality and this helps the counselor to understand the client completely and plan the counseling sessions accordingly.

This assignment builds on the research that you did for Human Health and Physiology. For this assignment, you will be focusing on one health condition that you identified in your role as a medical specialist. If you identified multiple health conditions, select the one that you think is of greatest concern for your community ((Arleta, El Monte, West Athens, West Whittier, Boyle Heights).

Assignment Requirements

Part 1: Identifying Social and Environmental Risk Factors

  1. What is the community and the health condition that you will be focusing on for this project? 
  2. Identify all of the social and environmental risk factors from the list below that you believe are relevant to your health condition. (You should have at least two for full credit.) Explain how each risk factor is relevant to your health condition, including at least one in-text citation for each risk factor and a properly formatted reference list at the end.
    • Access to grocery stores and farmers markets – # of grocery stores and farmers’ markets within a half-mile
    • Supermarket access – % of people in urban areas who live within a half-mile of a supermarket/large grocery store
    • Alcohol availability – % of people who live within ¼ mile of a store that sells alcohol
    • Binge drinking – % of adults who drank 5 or more alcoholic drinks (men) or 4 or more alcoholic drinks (women) at least once within the past month
    • Current smoker – % of adults who currently smoke
    • Near-roadway pollution – % of population living within 200 meters of a high-traffic road with more than 25,000 vehicles per day
    • Clean air – diesel PM – average daily amount of particulate pollution (very small particles) from diesel sources
    • Clean air – PM 2.5 – yearly average of fine particulate matter concentration (very small particles from vehicle tailpipes, tires and brakes, power plants, factories, burning wood, construction dust, and many other sources)
    • Tree canopy (HPI) – % of land with tree canopy (weighted by number of people per acre)
    • Access to parks – # of parks within a half-mile
    • Park access – % of population who live within a half-mile of a park, beach, or open space greater than 1 acre
    • Walk trips – Estimated # of walks around the neighborhood per household per day
    • No leisure time physical activity – % of people who do not exercise or participate in physical activities (outside of their regular job)
  3. Using your answer to #2, you are now going to analyze data showing the prevalence of these risk factors in several communities. Which risk factors are of highest concern in your community compared to other communities? Explain using the data.

 

Part 2: Proposing A Solution

  1. Preview the websites of the organizations and programs in the list below. Based on your health condition and the risk factors you identified in Part 1, which one of these could most improve health outcomes in your focal community? (Select only one organization/program.)
  2. What is the community-focused solution being implemented by this organization or program? Which of the risk factors that you identified in Part 1 Question 3 would this solution best address in your focal community? (You will be focusing on this risk factor for the duration of the Community Health Project.)
  3. How would this solution address the identified risk factor and decrease the prevalence of the health condition? To effectively advocate for this solution, you will need to research the physiological connection between the risk factor and your health condition. Explain what is known about how this risk factor contributes to the development of the health condition. Use at least two reputable sources in your explanation. Be sure to include in-text citations and a full reference list at the end for full credit.

    Example: Planting trees provides more shade and limits exposure to UV radiation (Parisi & Turnbull, 2014). UV radiation is a risk factor for skin cancer (ACS, 2019). UV radiation directly damages DNA and causes mutations to p53 tumor suppressor genes. When p53 genes are mutated, they can no longer repair DNA, leading to the further accumulation of mutations. This accumulation of mutations can lead to uncontrolled cell division and ultimately cause skin cancer (Narayanan et al., 2010).

Submission Guidelines

Upload your answers for Part 1 and Part 2 of this assignment as a Word document or as a pdf. Please clearly number your answers.
