As mentioned previously, when clients begin services with a social worker, they may be overwhelmed and unsure of how to proceed. To help minimize client anxiety—to help your client move forward from “I don’t know where to begin”—you will utilize the skills of prioritizing, planning, and contracting. The emphasis is on working with the client rather than working for the client. The client must feel empowered and vested in this process to be successful.  Prioritizing will help you and the client determine which problem(s) to work on first. You will then help your client translate these problems into needs, setting goals, and identifying resources to help them meet these needs. Developing either a written or oral contract will make clear the expectations you have of them and what you, as the social worker, are agreeing to accomplish. In this Assignment, you work through each of these important steps toward client success.

after reading the Chapter you do need to use examples that you cite from the reading so keep that in mind. Failure to do so will result in a lower grade. Any simple citation style works, including something like this (Brand, Chapter One, Section 5). Discuss the history of the Hebrew people and the development of the Jewish people up through the return from the Babylon Captivity. What would you say was the greatest contribution made by Jewish people to Early World History? http://history-world.org/history_of_judaism.htm http://www.patheos.com/Library/Judaism POST The Hebrews trace their origin to Abraham and they are believers in one god (monotheistic).Abraham had departed from the Mesoptamian city- state of Ur and relocated to the land of Canaan. In Canaan, it is believed that he had a son with his maid-servant, haggar and their son's name was Ishmael. During the time he had a son with his maid, he also had another son with his wife, their son was named Issac. Msulims actually trace their origin to Abraham through Ishmael but all religions, Judaism, Christianity and Islam all based their founding father as Abraham. The present day Israel shares a common language and culture with the founding father Abraham. The Hebrews have a belief that during the forty year journey of exodus from captivity, that a covenant was made between their people and Yahweh who was known as the Sinai Covenant. This covenant stated the Hebrews were to stay faithful to Yahweh and his commands and for this, they would receive protection through all of the land of Canaan. (Early World History Interactive text, pg. 57 and page 58)King David was thought to have been a mythical king but it turns out that King David, was in fact one of the most powerful kings to have led the people of Israel. He had a son named Solomn who went on to build the first temple in Jerusalem. Solomn was his father's successor and he looked over several projects in the kingdom. The year 586 BCE denotes a defining moment throughout the entire existence of the region. From this year on, the area was constrained by a progression of super power of those such as Persians, Babylonians, Greeks, Islamic and Christian following and the British Empire. The Babylonian captivity is the time in Jewish history during which various individuals from the old Kingdom of Judah were hostages in Babylonia. The constrained detainment of Jews in Babylonia following the last's success of the realm of Judah in 598/7 and 587/6 BCE. The bondage officially finished in 538 BCE, when the Persian vanquisher of Babylonia, Cyrus the Great, gave the Jews consent to come back to Palestine.I believe one of the greatest contributions made by the Jewish people in early history was when Judaism presented the possibility of a solitary divinity who was actually associated with the everyday life of a specific gathering of individuals. Not with that said, , Jews were not actually monotheistic first and foremost. They were all the more precisely henotheistic in light of the fact that, however they venerated only one god, they recognized the presence of others. Also, the scriptures in which deemed the tales of the beginnings of life, the lessons of the prophets, and God's laws are the most significant commitment Judaism made to Christianity. These two things were the backbone to Judaism and the light that was the shrine of the Jewish people.ReferencesConnie Brand, Angela Feres, Jasonn Hawke, Susan Maneck, Keith Sisson, & Sean Perrone.

Teen Suicide and BullyingPlease read pages 109 - 110 for Kohlberg and Gilligan, then pages 95 - 100 for Erikson's psychosocial dilemmas at different stages of life. Read pages 457 - 458 for readings on Suicide.Coon et al. (2022) discuss the difficulties teenagers face in establishing their own identity, many problems stem from the unclear standards about the role adolescents should play within society. Coon et al. (2022) also explains that teenagers experience ambiguity, or unclear interpretations when defining their roles. This adds to their confusion of a clear and solid sense of self.More and more often we are seeing cases presented in the media about teens who have taken their own lives as a result of bullying and cyberbullying (Wang, 2016). Coon et al. (2022) have argued that adolescence is a tumultuous time. However, Karen Horney’s theory explains that basic anxiety occurs because we live in a hostile world. An example in Wang (2016), report of a suicide by a 13-year-old girl in response to racial and social prejudice against perceived sexual orientation. ReferencesCoon, D., Mitterer, J.O., & Martini, T. (2022). Introduction to psychology: Gateways to mind and behavior (16th ed.). Cengage Learning.Wang, Y. (2016). After years of alleged bullying, an Ohio teen killed herself. Is her school district responsible? The Washington Post. For this week’s main post, answer all of the following questions. Be sure to include factual, properly cited information in your post.How much does emotional turbulence versus social hostility count as an explanation for teen suicide? Or is it a combination of the two?Drawing upon Kohlberg’s theory of stages of moral development, Gilligan’s theory of caring, and Erikson’s psychosocial stages theory, discuss reasons why an adolescent might turn to suicide.Using one of these theories, suggest how to help a teen who has been a victim of bullying.
