Assignment: Connecting Knowledge and ResearchIn order to provide the appropriate intervention, social workers first need to have conducted a thorough assessment. Having a comprehensive understanding of a client and their social environment, including the influence of racism and ethnocentrism, allows a social worker to accurately identify the presenting problems and help the client develop goals to address their needs. Not completing a full assessment may result in inaccurately identifying the presenting problem and pushing goals on the client to which they do not agree. A good assessment is the best foundation for treatment planning.In addition, evidence based practice requires social workers to use the best available evidence to inform their practice decisions. This assignment helps you prepare for the final project by beginning to identify the presenting problem and possible goals, as well as beginning the research process to inform your treatment recommendations when working with the identified client in a case study.To prepare: Conduct research in the Walden library to locate at least 1 peer-reviewed scholarly resource(s) that could inform your assessment or intervention with the case you plan to use in your final project.By Day 7Submit a 2-3 page paper in which you:Identify the case you will be using for the final projectDescribe the presenting problem(s)Describe 2 goals for the client based on their presenting problemIdentify a specific peer-reviewed article and explain how it could inform understanding of the problem/population, development of goals, or intervention and treatment planExplain how ethnocentrism and racism may influence the case (make sure to draw from this week’s assigned readings)

The questions have a in front of them, this is a minuimum of 125 words or more , PLEASE ORIGINAL WORK NO PALAGARISM "Muslim Structures and Pilgrimage" Please respond to the following, using sources under the Explore heading as the basis of your response: Describe the main purpose of the Hajj in the Muslim faith, and identify two (2) specific aspects of the Hajj that you find fascinating or significant. Next, explain the association between Muhammad and the area of the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem. Lastly, describe the sacred art of Islam’s key qualities, and explain the fundamental reasons why Muslim artists of sacred works are reluctant to include images of humans (i.e., at least in sacred areas). Think of a place of worship (of any religion) today, and explain which type of artistic tradition would be more conducive to worship: Byzantine art (Chapter 8), Hindu art (Chapter 7), or Muslim art (Chapter 9). Explore Muslim Structures and Pilgrimage Chapter 9 (pp. 288-295, 306-308), Dome of the Rock, Hajj, calligraphy, art (pp. 274-7), Christian mosaics in Ravenna; review the Week 5 Music Folder National Geographic on the Hajj at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jM81wroj_MQ Walking tour of Jerusalem's Dome of the Rock and structures around it at http://www.saudiaramcoworld.com/issue/200901/al-haram/tour.htm. (Focus on what you wish; the entire tour is lengthy) Minimum of 125 Words # The purpose of the Hajj and two interesting aspects of this event and why interesting to you? This part should be pretty easy as there is lots of information on the Hajj, check out any of these websites for more information (but remember to write everything in your own words): http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/sacredjourneys/content/the-hajj/ http://www.cnn.com/2013/06/21/world/hajj-fast-facts/ http://www.religionfacts.com/hajj # Discuss the relationship between Mohammad and the Dome of the Rock: Again this is a pretty easy concept to assess, just check out this site for further information: http://www.sacred-destinations.com/israel/jerusalem-dome-of-the-rock # Sacred Art in the Islamic World: This is probably the most challenging aspect of the discussion this week, try to assess 1. Why Islamic art is relatively free of visual imagery and assess 2. Why they use primarily calligraphy as a sacred art form and then compare it to Christian art, which is very visual. 3.. Why don’t mosques have a lot of paintings and sculptures in them like many Christian churches do? # The Relationship Between Art and Worship: In your own words: Finally, think about whether or not having lots of visual imagery and music (like many Christian churches do) or a more plain and quiet area (like many mosques and some other Christian groups do) is more conducive to worship. There is really no wrong answer here, just think about it and give me your insights as to why one or the other method you think is preferable.
