Assignment 2: Policy IdentificationAccording to the Council on Social Work Education, Competency 5: Engage in Policy Practice:Social workers understand that human rights and social justice, as well as social welfare and services, are mediated by policy and its implementation at the federal, state, and local levels. Social workers understand the history and current structures of social policies and services, the role of policy in service delivery, and the role of practice in policy development. Social workers understand their role in policy development and implementation within their practice settings at the micro, mezzo, and macro levels and they actively engage in policy practice to effect change within those settings. Social workers recognize and understand the historical, social, cultural, economic, organizational, environmental, and global influences that affect social policy. They are also knowledgeable about policy formulation, analysis, implementation, and evaluation.Walden’s MSW program expects students in their specialization year to be able to:Evaluate the implication of policies and policy change in the lives of clients/constituents.Demonstrate critical thinking skills that can be used to inform policymakers and influence policies that impact clients/constituents and services.This assignment is intended to help students demonstrate the behavioral components of this competency in their field education.To prepare: Working with your field instructor, identify a social problem that is common among the organization (or its clients) and research current policies at that state and federal levels that impact the social problem. Then, from a position of advocacy, identify methods to address the social problem (i.e., how you, as a social worker, and the agency advocate to change the problem). You are expected to specifically address how both you and the agency can effectively engage policy makers to make them aware of the social problem and the impact that the policies have on the agency and clients.The Assignment (2-3 pages):Identify the social problemExplain rational for selecting social problemDescribe state and federal policies that impact the social problemIdentify specific methods to address the social problemsExplain how the agency and student can advocate to change the social problem******I live in Georgia.

Develop a case study of a counterintelligence operation.  Your case study could be in any number of specialty areas: Ø Counter-terrorism Ø Counter Drug Ø Corporate Security Ø Law Enforcement Ø Humanitarian Efforts For your case study, assess the threats, the indicators, operation details, the role counterintelligence agents played, results and an assessment of the operation's successes and failures.  You must use Chicago style. Include a cover sheet, running head, page numbers, section headings, and a bibliography. Also, you must use in-text parenthetic for all citations. Do NOT use first person language and avoid passive voice.   Some do's and don'ts:   DO ØUse Chicago format ØUtilize a running head, section headings and page numbers ØProofread ØCite your sources (even if not a direct quote) Ø Have a separate bibliography ØUse in-text parenthetic citations ONLY!  No footnotes or endnotes! DON’T ØUse passive voice or first person ØPost your paper abstract to the Discussion Board Ø Use end notes Here are some final tips: 1) Make sure your paper follows Chicago style.  This means to have a cover page, a running head and page numbers, section and subsection headings, proper citations, and a complete bibliography/resource page with citations formatted correctly.2) I prefer in-text parenthetic citations.  However, if you hate them, use footnotes (make sure that you use Word's insert reference function).  Please, do not use end notes.  They often get confused with the bibliography/resource page. 3) Avoid the use of passive voice as much as possible.  Some is okay, but don't over use.  If you need help with this, let me know. 4) First person should only be used when referring to yourself specifically.  Do not use "we", "our", or the like when referring to the United States or any component agency.  5) Proofread!!! 6) Please be concise and to the point.  I don't need you to sound "academic."  I like clarity.  I'd rather have a paper that is a little short, but is direct, to the point, and very clear than a lengthy paper with a bunch of filler.  7) Write about what you have interest in.  Just make sure it ties to counterintelligence operations.
