Your community of focus– 2040! As we finish the semester, it is appropriate to look ahead with some creative visioning. Given your perceptions, knowledge, and personal insight/intuition regarding the present status, how do you see your region evolving over the next two decades? More specifically, take two approaches.
a) identify some of the typical and conventional models of socioeconomic development, and track what you believe is a LIKELY path of evolution for your region of focus.
b) after completing scenario “a”, then break from the conventional and propose some new paradigms tracking through their potential effects and implications on the socioeconomic outcome for your region in 2040. The key is to keep in mind the forces of reality that bear on the outcome, while at the same time seeing how shifts in our paradigms (both individual and collective) could alter the outcome. I look forward to your original thinking.
. The Tiebout hypothesis suggests that people vote with their feet. To this end, indicators of social well-being may hint about an area’s quality of life. There are several indicators of community well being available on the internet (cost of living (for example, https://www.salary.com/research/cost-of-living/nd Links to an external site. ), unemployment rate, net migration (https://netmigration.wisc.edu/), median house value, median rent, poverty level, employment rate, high speed internet, distressed community index (https://eig.org/dci/interactive-map), etc. Explore them, then compare the information collected about your community with another “rival” community (the community where locals usually leave in search of a better life). How is your community doing compared to the rival community? How might this information affect current and future policy proposals? Your answer to this question should be based on data and facts.

Design the slabs, beams, columns, and footings for all structural requirements according to
ACI Code 318-14. Show your assumptions and calculations. Compare hand calculations with
software (StructurePoint) results for typical structural elements. Show detailed structural
drawings which could be used for construction of the building for the intended purpose.
Use live loads in Table 1 corresponding to your group number in addition to calculated dead load
based on the size of each structural element. Consider a variable position of the live load so that
it produces the maximum load effect for design.
Prior to beginning work on the discussion forum, be certain to have read all the required resources for this week.
Utilize research skills to locate an appropriate scholarly program evaluation proposal. Critique the design of the program evaluation. Examine the research hypothesis. Analyze the evaluability of the program or policy under consideration by the researcher. Describe the research methodology employed by the researcher, and identify any ethical issues that might be salient to the study
What kinds of challenges and opportunities do environmental issues and disasters present for social workers?
Explain how specific population groups are affected by environmental issues?
What are a few areas to advocate for change and reform in international social work practice?
Working effectively with individuals means building relationships. As a social worker, there are certain qualities, such as empathy, warmth, and genuineness, that help you develop rapport with clients. However, even when you appropriately utilize your micro skills, rapport building can be difficult with some clients. Challenges may include client hostility, silence, a request for self-disclosure, or the necessity of using confrontation. Social workers need to develop skills to appropriately work through these challenges.
For this Discussion, you begin developing these skills through practice and analysis of practice.
RESOURCES
• Watch the Parker video. In the video, the clients express hostility toward each other, as well as toward the social worker. In addition, Stephanie asks the social worker for self-disclosure when she asks, “Wouldn’t you?” and “You really think you can fix that?” The scene ends with the client and social worker falling into silence. Consider the challenges depicted in the video. How would you respond?
BY DAY 3
Post a reponse to the following:
• Explain when it would be appropriate to use self-disclosure.
• Provide a specific example of the type of self-disclosure you might use in this scenario.
• Identify an interviewing technique you learned from this week’s resources that you would use when working with this client.
• Provide a specific example of the interviewing technique.
o For example, if you would use an empathetic statement or an open-ended question to elicit information, provide a specific example of the statement or question that you would use.
• Explain why you would use this technique.
Support your post with examples from the course text to demonstrate that you have completed the required readings, understand the material, and are able to apply the concepts.
BY DAY 6
Respond to at least two colleagues:
• Describe whether you agree or disagree with your colleague’s use of self-disclosure based on the guidelines to consider when using self-disclosure.
• Provide an example of a third technique not previously recommended by you or your colleague and explain why you believe that technique might also be effective in this scenario.
create a visual storyboard for a narrative involving a couple stranded on a road trip. The following skills and knowledge are essential to success in your professional life beyond this course:
Skills:
• Selecting and arranging images that express the plot, theme and characters in the story.
Knowledge:
• Selecting images that communicate emotions.
• Selecting images that express action.
• Selecting images that express the passage of time.
• Selecting images that express intangibles, such as hunger.
Task:
Create a visual storyboard expressing what happens to a couple stranded on a road trip. Select and arrange images that complete the story from the point where the opening narration leaves off. Do not storyboard the opening narration. All steps are highly unique to your specific project, therefore problem-solving and critical thinking skills are necessary.
• Please view LinkedIn Learning: “Learning Graphic Novel Storyboarding” with Ben Bishop and “The Storyboard Artist’s Life” with Darin McGowan, Links to an external site. “Psycho Shower Scene Storyboard
• Actions
• ” and “Comics—Not Just for Laughs Links to an external site.,” before starting this project.
• Read the paragraph below. It sets the stage for you to complete the story using a visual storyboard—a sequence of still images deliberately arranged to represent the events of a story to be filmed, in the order they will be finally edited and screened; for example, as in Saul Bass’s Psycho Shower Scene Storyboard.

o Memorial Day—the unofficial start of summer. John and Linda had been anticipating the time off from work. John is a teacher and Linda is a bank teller. They live in Miami. They had made plans to visit Linda’s mom in Orlando and maybe go to Disney World or Universal Studios during the three-day weekend. On Thursday night, they had packed their bags for a three-day excursion, and as soon as they got off from work on Friday afternoon, they were on the road. It was a trip they had made many times before, but this time it would be different. Sawgrass fires forced I-95 and the Turnpike to shut down for long stretches. They had to get off the main highway and seek alternative routes. With heavier than usual traffic on a holiday weekend, what was normally a four-hour trip extended late into the night. Then the car’s left front tire blew out, and they had to pull over in an unfamiliar town. Both John and Linda’s cell phones were not working…
• Write an outline expressing what will happen to John and Linda From the point where the narration leaves off – this opening narration will not be storyboarded. Also, do not invent a different opening situation (please continue the story of the stranded couple).
• The goal of the story is to create an emotional experience for the audience by identifying with the main characters by creating empathy. Be sure to include emotions and experiences that might be familiar to the audience—mostly young adults in college, like yourself.
• Conflict occurs when the main characters encounter, and must overcome, obstacles. The story winds down after all the conflicts are resolved. In the movies, the guy and girl live happily ever after—The End. Make your story resolve the conflicts in the plot—or not, the couple might be unable to reach their destination due to unforeseen circumstances. Don’t end the story abruptly after the required number of slides (24), but let the audience understand what happens to them.
• Think about how you can reveal time, wind, or hunger—things that cannot be naturally shown in visual form.
• Search Unsplash.com, Pexels.com, Google Images, flickr.com, iStockPhoto.com, or other online sources of photographs for images to complete the story. Alternatively, your storyboard may be hand-drawn (as was Saul Bass’s storyboard for Psycho), then digitized. As another alternative, you may stage some of the scenes of the story with your friends, then photograph with a digital or mobile phone camera (at medium or 1024×768 resolution—Not higher). In any case, import the images to PowerPoint, where they are to be arranged in sequence to express the details of the story.
• The story must make sense visually, without the use of verbal messages.
• You must show a sequence of events—for example, a sunset to symbolize day turning into night, or people walking to signify that they are going somewhere. Show all the steps; don’t abbreviate anything. For example, don’t just show the couple walking through the woods, and then suddenly they’re in their hotel room. Instead, take time to flesh out all the steps, showing a hotel exterior, then an interior of the hotel lobby, the couple talking to a desk clerk, and the bellhop taking them to their room. This is only an example. Your story might not even involve the couple making it to a hotel room. The point is to not skip any steps.
• Select and arrange images that express the subtle nuances of your story’s events literally and unambiguously. Symbolic images, such as clip art, logos, or icons (like a lightbulb expressing a bright idea) are not allowed!!! Don’t use smiley faces, the “no” symbol (a red circle with a diagonal red bar through it, used in “no smoking” and in road signs), or other symbolic images. Don’t use cartoons.
• The first slide must contain the following information:
