substance abuse and child maltreatment-Given these statistics, why do you think a more concerted effort is not made in the media to make citizens aware of the association between substance abuse and child abuse?

An estimated 480,000 children are mistreated each year by a caretaker who has alcohol or drug problems. Additionally, alcohol and drug problems are factors in a majority of cases of emotional abuse and neglect.

Did Thelma do the right thing by revealing her knowledge of her father’s drug use to her mother? Explain why.

Thelma, a 16 year old girl, suspected that her father had a drug problem but never knew it for certain. One day, she found out from some friends at school that her father used to buy crack cocaine from a known dealer. She agonized for over a week about whether she should tell her mother. She eventually did. Her mother asked Thelma’s father to leave the house and filed for a divorce. Thelma felt that the breakup of the family was her fault.

Analysis of a workplace situation-To analyze a workplace leadership situation from a social/environmental perspective

Purpose

analyze a workplace leadership situation from a social/environmental perspective.

Method

This assignment will have two parts.

Part 1: Formal Paper

Part 1 will be a formal paper with an extended analysis of a workplace situation. Select and describe a real leadership situation (i.e. one you’ve experienced or read about in a reputable publication) relating to a social/environmental issue in an organization. Interweave thorough explanations based on a social/environmental theory of work behavior from the course. Clarify why your analysis makes sense by logically explaining and connecting the theory. The explanations in your analysis must be clearly linked to this theory. Solid analyses have a strong logic behind them, and theory and data are two of the strongest sources to ensure that success.
Be sure to do the following:

Define key terms of the social/environmental theory of work behavior and its associated pieces so that the reader can see that you understand the theory and related concepts.
Apply the theory.
- How does it explain the leadership situation?
- What about the situation does it explain (and not explain)?
Synthesize.

There is no right or wrong answer for this paper, but you must make your argument based on the standards set above and in a clear and concise manner. This means with a clear thesis statement, detailed explanations, apparent connection between theory and behaviors, and strong organization.

Part 2: Case

Part 2 will be an instructional case with a condensed analysis of the workplace leadership situation. Modern organizations commonly utilize instructional modules based on cases to train new leaders and provide continuing education to existing leaders. Imagine that you have been hired by an organization to develop an instructional module that will be used by its human resources department for training. Divide the instructional module into three sections:

Case: Embed the leadership situation in a coherent story.
Reflection questions: Ask several meaningful questions about the case to promote reflection.
Commentary: Analyze the situation and recommend a solution. Use everyday language that anyone can understand.
