Entry: Post a brief analysis of what you have learned from this week’s readings and activities. Clearly identify each segment of the required response in order to facilitate discussion development. Everyone experiences minor episodes of depressed mood. What can we do to beat the more common minor depressive episodes we encounter as we navigate our lives? Share your insights to this question as you respond to the following:A. Thinking about what we have learned: You are talking to a friend during lunch at your favorite mom-n-pop restaurant. Your friend shares, work has been busy and they have just been feeling a little out of sorts. Sad is not quite the right word for it, but down seems to fit. You pause to reflect on our lessons from this week. 1) What are two questions you might ask to find out more about the mood your friend is experiencing? Why have you selected these two questions – what are you trying to learn? 2) Why would you be incline to think your friend is not experiencing bipolar disorder or Major Depressive Disorder? B. Class Contributions to Learning: Find and share one resource that informatively discusses mood disorders. This resource can be a book, article, website, video, podcast, etc. Provide:1) a brief summary describing why others in the class will find it useful/insightful 2) a reference for the resource2) an active link to the resource

Doing Sociology Assignment: Step 1This is the first step in a project designed to get you out into the real world and “doing sociology.” Our project will eventually ask you to make observations at an international grocery store in our local community and make sense of what you see by applying relevant sociological concepts. Before you go out to do your observations, this first step asks you to read and summarize some of the existing social scientific research related to food, culture, and diversity in cities.Instructions: Choose one article from each of the two lists below (two articles total).Access the two articles attached in the document Submit your completed worksheet by the Sept. 29th due date.Download and complete the worksheet attached to this document where you will first provide an A.S.A citation of the articles, then describe the research method used by the author(s) and the data they collected and lastly summarize (using your own words!) the main argument presented by the author(s).Articles on food, culture, and immigrant communities (author’s last name, and title): Bailey, “The Migrant Suitcase: Food, Belonging and Commensality among Indian Migrants in The Netherlands”.Kershen, “Food in the British Immigrant Experience”.Moffat; Mohammed; Newbold, “Cultural Dimensions of Food Insecurity among Immigrants and Refugees”.Munoz, “Latino/a Immigrant Street Vendors in Los Angeles: Photo-Documenting Sidewalks from ‘Back-Home’" Parasecoli, “Food, Identity, and Cultural Reproduction in Immigrant Communities”.Sweeney-Tookes, “‘The Food Represents’: Barbadian Foodways in the Diaspora”.Viladrich, Tagliaferro, “Picking Fruit from our Backyard’s Trees: The Meaning of Nostalgia in Shaping Latinas’ Eating Practices in the United States”.Wenzel, “Eating Together, Separately: Intergroup Communication and Food in a Multiethnic Community”.Williams-Forson,“‘I Haven’t Eaten if I Don’t Have My Soup and Fufu’: Cultural Preservation through Food and Foodways among Ghanaian Migrants in the United States”.Articles on Diversity, immigration, and citiesFarrell, and Firebaugh, “Is Immigrant Neighborhood Inequality Less Pronounced in Suburban Areas?”Knowles, “Nigerian London: Re-mapping Space and Ethnicity in Superdiverse Cities”.Price, and Benton-Short, “Immigrants and World-Cities: From the Hyper-Diverse to the Bypassed”.

The value of a good assessment comes from the ability to conceptualize a situation and provide some language and a vehicle to promote change. Too many times in treatment, an assessment is completed as a task of the first few sessions and then left in the chart never to be reviewed again. This is a mistake, and good practice includes a constant review and update to the assessment as well as a plan of action.Using the assessment that you completed for the LASA 1 in M3: Assignment 2, you will be able to practice making a difference in a child’s life by creating a training and intervention program for the adults in that child’s life. Write a summary assessment of the case study to be handed out in the school meeting with the family and professionals. This summary should include the following: Background information about the child, explaining his or her behavior and the current situation Possible determinates of the stated behaviors focusing on the family Possible determinates of the stated behaviors focusing on the school Create a presentation, with detailed speaker notes, to train the parents and school personnel to better understand the socialization of this particular child and to create a training and intervention program for both parents and school personnel. The presentation should provide research support from at least two peer-reviewed articles and include the following: Separate title and reference slides. Provide a review of the role this child plays in his or her family, how that correlates with the expressed behavior, and specific interventions recommended to change problematic behaviors. Provide a review of the role this child plays in his or her school and peer group, how that correlates with the expressed behavior, and interventions recommended to change problematic behaviors. Create a guide for parents to find the resources needed in the community or methods to gain the services needed for their child. Be sure to also identify four or five resources in your own community, and provide a description of the services they provide that would be useful. Provide information on resiliency and the research literature that best applies to this particular case study. Present the strength areas of the child, family, and school integrated with this resiliency literature to provide positive intervention strategies. Write a 2-page summary assessment in Word format and develop a 15–20-slide presentation (with detailed speaker notes) in PowerPoint format. Apply APA standards to citation of sources, including use of in-text citations and full references. Academic sources could include your textbook, required readings for this module, or academic journal articles found in the Argosy University
