During the Reconstruction period, Congress encountered many issues as it developed plans to readmit the Confederate states to the Union. Congress seemed consumed with its own partisanship and did not take an active role in the solution. When you consider the process of crafting today’s legislative acts, what, if anything, has changed? Discuss the issues Congress encounters in its efforts to pass legislation in today’s society with the issues Congress encountered during the Reconstruction era. Defend your views by citing information from primary academic or government sources.

 This week\’s writing assignment asks you to \”think like a social scientist\” in the Hoover and Donovan sense. One thing social scientists try to do is explain differences. We focus on questions like \”why are some countries rich and others poor\” or \”why are democratic revolutions stable and successful while others collapse and reverse themselves?\” This week, I\’d like to think about one of these puzzles:Identify two possible answers to this question. For each of your two answers, a) write a paragraph explaining why it might be plausible, in your view, and b) write a paragraph outlining how one might \”test\” this theory–where we should look for evidence to see it it\’s accurate or not, if we were researchers trying to do answer this question. Don\’t worry if that data-gathering process is well beyond your capabilities–I\’m not asking you to do it, just think about how it could be done. *at least in reducing the sources of ozone depletion–due to the timeline of their effects, positive change is only now starting to occur.

Society shapes life stages and individual experiences of aging. Americans place high value on a sense of individual achievement and responsibility, and so it is often difficult for us to embrace the notion that our destinies are not completely the product of our individual actions and choices. In our society it is very popular to focus on individual attitudes, the power of positive thinking, and individual responsibility. Is it really so simple? Is personal attitude all that matters? Or are there related social forces that do have an impact on whether we can find a job and how young we can possibly feel?Based on research and personal experiences, for your initial discussion post address the following:Support your discussion with references to the current literature in the field.

Taking into account the current perspectives and issues of families in later life, the framework of the multidisciplinary approach allows the human service and public service leader to take the necessary steps to gather information, analyze the information, develop recommendations, and create a plan of action.For this assignment, focus on the first step of the multidisciplinary approach by gathering information to develop a series of questions you will use to interview three families in later life of different ages, lifestyles, and cultures.Complete the following:

Anthony is a 27 year old heterosexual Caucasian male. He was arrested 2 weeks ago for his second DWI and is facing a license suspension. He works as a delivery driver for a local store and after disclosing the arrest to his employer, as well as the consequences including loss of his license, he was terminated. Anthony lives with his girlfriend of 3 years and their 2 year old son. Anthony’s drinking behavior has increased to consumption of a case of beer on Saturday and Sunday evenings each week. He consumes several beers after work during the week “to maintain.” He has also been using methamphetamines, specifically “crystal meth” several times weekly. Anthony’s girlfriend ended their relationship as a result of his increasing substance use and ongoing difficulties. Anthony feels depressed and anxious about his current life situation, especially now that he realizes that he has no job and may be homeless because of his substance use. He is also feeling down about the loss of his relationship. He researched a few outpatient treatment programs to help him stop using both alcohol and methamphetamines, but is ambivalent about entering treatment. Anthony has considered the need to stop using substances to improve his life and relationships with significant others, though fears that he will lose his friends and miss partying with them if he stops. He also fears what life will be like without the comfort of getting high.Consider and discuss the 5 stages of change. Based upon the information provided discuss what stage Anthony is in, and provide a rationale for your decision. Next, discuss the other stages of change and what indicators we might see as Anthony progresses on through these stages. Your posting must be a minimum of 500 words.
