 Violence against women is a human rights and social justice issue that calls for social policy interventions. Nevertheless, contesting violence against women has been disproportionately addressed throughout the world. To examine how and why these variations in response efforts exist in different environmental contexts, policy researchers have studied the factors most likely to lead to government interventions and social policy changes to combat this social problem. Notably, policy research has aided in identifying how social policy development is often initiated. It also has explored the impact of individuals’ engagement in social action.  

 Public service values can be a powerful force in motivating public servants. When working in a stressful and high-pressure job with few resources, limited funding, and often ambiguous and even conflicting goals, it can be easy to lose sight of the importance of what public servants do.

An annotated bibliography is a critical literature synthesis tool for researchers who are curating resources related to a topic of interest. The annotated bibliography is the first step to a comprehensive literature review and provides an opportunity to identify gaps to be used for future research. An annotated bibliography requires critical reading and summarizing of the findings of collected sources. 
Each annotation begins with an APA formatted reference and is followed by a summary of the source. The following questions can be used to craft the summary of the annotated sources:
What was the purpose of this research?
What was the problem the researcher(s) addressed?
What are the research questions?
What method and design were used in this research?
What were the results of the research?
What are the implications for future research? 
This week, students will prepare an annotated bibliography (dues in Week 4) with the articles, books, research, etc. you plan to use and cite in your final project (that is due in Week 7). Please follow the sample provided in the classroom with these instructions. Students should include 6-8 entries this week. Please see the following example below.

 
1# I believe that the human condition is influenced by all three (nature vs nurture). Biological factors/influences such as our genes, gender, brain structure and chemistry & hormone levels all play a role in how each person functions. Psychological influences such as perception, thoughts, feelings and emotions influence human functioning on both a conscious and subconscious level. Socially we are influenced by things such as relationships, our environment, our stress factors and our support systems. So although biological and psychological factors predispose us to certain genetic conditions, the social influences such as social norms, peers, groups, & other factors also exert influence over the way we behave through unwritten rules and by what is considered acceptable or unacceptable in social “norms.” Research from social psychology has shown us that connecting to others helps the psychological processes (Fiske. 2018).
I believe that by understanding these multidimensional influences social workers learn to recognize their clients issues, needs, conditions, limitations, and factors that their clients are facing. By gaining this knowledge, social workers are better prepared and able to assist their clients with getting access to resources, teaching them problem solving techniques, and discuss all the options at hand. The more the social worker knows about their client, the better able they are to assist them
 
2# When I first read the question of which influence most impacts human functioning, I immediately thought social because I look at social development as what influences the decisions we make. Social media and conformity to social rules have a big impact on most people, if not everyone in their daily lives and influences how we interact with others. 
These three influences on the human condition are important to each other. The psychological influence is developed from the biological influence and the social influence is developed from the psychological influence. If I had to make a choice of which influence has the biggest impact on the human condition, I feel like I would keep contradicting myself. Biology is our physical development and it can be changed depending on the physical choices we make throughout our lives. Depending on how we change physically, we can also change psychologically which would then change us socially. For example, excessive drug or alcohol use can change the way the brain works which can change the things and the people that we feel are most valuable to us.
Psychology is our mental development which makes up how we interact with others. Psychology is what makes up how we think about ourselves, others, and the environment around us(Zastrow, C., Kirst-Ashman, K.K. & Hessenauer, S.L., 2019). Our social development, the friends we choose in school, and the type environment we feel most comfortable in depends on who we are psychologically. However, social influences can also change who we are psychologically depending on the kind of person we want to be and how we want others to view us. I don’t think I can come up with a clear-cut answer as to which influence impacts us the most. 
I think that understanding these influences can help with the social workers decision making because it helps them to understand why a person is the way they are and what has influenced them to be the way they are. I think it is important to remember that one influence can’t exist without the other two and that just a simple interaction or experience can change everything about a person and who they want to be. 
My question to the class: Did you have a hard time deciding which influence has the biggest impact on the human condition? Why or why not?

 In response to your peers, share some creative ways to help them highlight their existing skills and identify what they would need to work on in an interview setting. Please provide in-text citations. 
1# The career path that is my dream job is having my own non-profit foundation that serves my community hugely. My dream job is to be there for youth no matter their cultural background and let them know hey, life is literally what you make it, and if you want to make the best out of it with the challenged that come with it along the way I Am here for you. Growing up I needed a person like me , so I will be that person for our youth especially our youth male. I feel personally I fit all the NOHS skills and attitudes of course the knowledge is going to be something that eternity will grow. I feel I am more than cultural competent, I have no bias that hold me back from doing and serving my community. The work that I want to do is what will bring me pleasure and happiness, seeing people succeed in life and have faith and good outlook on themselves is what will restore me. As a person who is spiritual my spirit and soul are warmed knowing I equipped someone with knowledge, respect, integrity, and strong will that they didn’t have in themselves before the conquer the world and keep this cycle of never ending selfless help going. In order to succeed at this role in life that I want to play I must continue my track of knowledge. I have to get this bachelors degree and come back for 2 more degrees. I need to get Deeper into My psychological degrees to learn more about the human brain and how we function and what does specific actions and gestures really mean besides what they show on the surface. I want to not only guide our youth but I want to be their therapist by law at the same time. Let them know I worked my butt off to get this credentials to do my best to serve my community. 
2#  Behavioral Management Aide is the career path I want to follow. I have the skills of identifying intervention, planning skills and the ability to implement them into a plan. I defiantly need to work on work in a group since I tend to do better working by myself because I am a bit of a control freak. To work in behavioral health, you need to be able to lean on others to help you with clients at times so I would need to work on working with others and not having to have that control all the time. 

 In response to your peers, share some creative ways to help them secure answers to the questions they would ask about the organization. 
1#  There is an organization in my Fitchburg Mass community called LUK. This not-for-profit organization helps children and their families to get where they need to be in life and exceed at it. They take these families as is with no judgment to work together as a team and allowing each individual to be apart of their plan making. The five additional things I would want to know are; Is this a place where someone can grow and move up the ladder or is this a place where you have your spot and you just become better and better at your spot? Is this a place that dedicates themselves to and ensures that the staff as well are culturally competent to take on the roles they perform? How do you go about knowing whether someone is fulfilling their job objectives when it comes to these families and youth they are working with? What protocol is put in place for someone in the organization who has a bias and isn’t speaking on it but yet the complaints and comments don’t add up to the person you know or thought you knew (colleague)? How do you guys promote yourselves?and what happens if there comes a year where you receive little to no donations? is there a backup plan put in place for that?
As an African American young women These questions are importatnt for me to know in order to know if my time and goals are being taken seriously.I want to work somewhere I can grow and move up in the ranks and even a place is bias towards my culture growing at least I took the tools to equip me to grow in another or really start my own.
2#  The human service organization I have chosen in my area is the Charles County Department of Social Services. Some additional things that I would want to know about the organization before I would consider working for them are:
Do they have programs or assistance for helping the homeless find a safe place to live?
What form of security do they have to protect the worker if something were to happen in the building when there is only a security check-in at the entrance of the building?
What are some pros and cons of working with this company?
What are their protocols and actions for helping people?
What action do we take as workers to ensure that the people we serve are doing what they need to do to maintain their service?
The questions that I would have specifically about the organization’s leadership or pose directly to its leaders is, How come the system only help the ones that are not working get service like food stamps, health insurance, etc.., but for other low-income people that work, and still struggle with things can not get any help even though our hard work taxes go to paying for the food stamps and things.

 
1# Dr. Frederick Neuman, in an article for Psychology Today, states, “In order to assess human needs and human behavior accurately… (we)…must know what is considered normal or appropriate” (2013). When someone contrasts and compares the two actions and behaviors, it forms a criterion that professionals use in their decisions on which “term” may be closer to the individual they are serving (Neuman, 2013).
            However, the problem is that people vary so much and that “typical human development provides for much individual variation” (Neuman, 2013). This is why our textbook says, “We emphasize that individuals vary greatly” (Zastrow et al., 2019).
             What can be expected in one culture might be looked down on in another or thought a little “weird” and “odd,” at least. I know this firsthand from growing up in a cult. It was usual for me not to be able to watch TV, homeschool, not to be able to drive till I was married, and not have the option of college and a job outside our little village. (I did not realize we were oppressed, so I know the difference. I am just using it as an example). It was customary in our “culture” to wear long cotton dresses and behave in specific ways. However, when others would come by the hundreds to our restaurants and business establishments to see us because they thought we were odd, it aggravated me.
            This same concept can happen, however, within ethnic cultures. Our Italian culture was considered odd when we first moved to Arkansas from Rhode Island, and their southern ways were very odd to us. If one individual decides to wear a hairstyle that is different from others around them, i.e., a black person decides to get an afro, this would be considered beautiful and normal within their culture. However, if that person went to an all-white school, unfortunately, that person would likely come under some form of oppression because they looked different than the others around them. And it is a shame that our society behaves in that way. 
2#   WOW! Hello Classmates and Professor. What an interesting question, and I find myself thinking abnormal for that is the stigma that has been related to me for years. I am not abnormal I am just someone who sees a difference in the world in which I live; I see others as conflict in my life or being a conflict in my life, does that make me abnormal? I think not, it is just how I see and feel things, I am always looking for that voice that is constantly forever talking in my head and it seems like there is someone right around the corner or in the next room speaking to me, I know that it is mmy mind and a chemical imbalance which causes this. Still I hear it and believe at times that it is real for it is constantly in my head. I have been told that I am a abnormal person. Why? am I concidered that way is it  because of the imbalance or my actions? I must admit I have done things that would seem like abnormal actions, but to me I was just doing an action to protect mysel; even though there was no threat, I did not realize this until I got help for my mental disorder. And I thought I was normal acting when I would speak out at the voices, I though everyone heard what I could hear. I do not feel abnormal, not since getting on the right medication and being able to ajust my ways of dealing with what I still deal with. I hear them, I just do not react the same way as I did because others find it scary and abnormal behavior. I don’t. But I do whatch how I am around others for fear of being put back into hospital that does not help the issue, if the voices can not be shut off then what do you think a hospital can do. Address the behavior, right! That is wrong.I have been hospitalized and not once have they calmed the voices in my head, they cofine to a room and that is bad for a schizophrenic. closer only heighens the feeling of being trapped. I feel like a normal woman who has a mind that produces to much of a chemical that causes these voices to come I just need to deal with them as best as I can, granted that can be diffucult at times, but I manage.
  Atthough a particular behavior may be in it self abnormal. It may be part of a pattern that reflects an abnomal process, for instance sleeping less than adverage, for instance is sometimes associated with severe depression and other psychosis. Also, if someone is extremely far from average in behavior or attitude, it is likely that he/she will turn out emotionally ill by other criteria.

Question – What do you consider abnormal in another person by their ways or actions?
