Having your own car makes you feel more undependable and comfortable in your life. You can go to any places without bothering someone else for a ride. It is a big challenge that you will deal with in life because you will need a good job to pay the car that you always dream. I haven't bought a car, but my parents did, and I know how hard is to buy a car when you have a lot of problems that you deal with in life. For example, three years ago, my dad had a car accident and the car got really damage that we could not use.
The area can be improved by creating basic and affordable safety measures. The map identifies areas where cross walks and yields signs would create safer blocks in the neighborhood. This would also make the neighborhood less auto-centric and promote the walkability of the neighborhood. The weaknesses addressed the situation created by the separation of the neighborhoods and the lack of green spaces in some of these sections. This provides a great opportunity to provide green spaces in these sections, particularly in the low income and manufactured home parks.
The Hmong Community is very new to the American society. In the last thirty years, more and more Hmong families had immigrated into the United States. While Minnesota has the largest Hmong population and California is second to that, Hmong resides all over the United States. Some of the popular states include Wisconsin, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Massachusetts. I decided to write my personal essay on the Hmong community because I am a Hmong woman fighting to reason and understand issues within my community.
Throughout U. S. history people with disabilities have struggled to be heard. Prior to the Progressive Era of the early 1900’s our society dealt with the disabled largely by keeping them hidden away in sanatoriums or asylums and ignored. The age-old adage, out of sight out of mind ruled. Thankfully programs designed to support cognitively and physically disabled people find their rightful place and voice in our culture have improved. While the social welfare system has improved it is clearly time for another major round of debate over disability policy and program expansion.
According to Tabaka (2015) to her interview with Mcgonical, as verbalized by Mcgonical “a challenging game, or any challenging activity that you choose for yourself amps up the dopamine available in the reward pathways of your brain, which increases your motivation and willpower.” Video games help us regain more energy because every game we play; we are challenged by it. Also, video games can boost our energy because we are exerting effort in it. Video games can teach the players on how to a leader & to achieve goals. In video games, where the game is by the group or they are playing with their teammates, it has to be a leader to make the team be organized or to win their play.
People are constantly using cars to go to work, stores, vacations, you name it. Cars enable our culture to move about any place in our fast pace world. A key feature of our world is that people do not stay at home as much and are always going places which makes the cultural artifact of cars highly important. Cars allow people to keep up with their fast pace lives and also helps people avoid the use of public transportation.

First of all, I had the opportunity to interview Kim Bartells who’s a Licensed Social Worker (LSW) in Michealsen Health Center and learn more about her role as a social work. Before I started interviewing Kim, I asked her if it was alright with her if I recorded the conversation and she said it was fine with it. I started the interview with asking what type of population Michealsen Health Center serves and she told me it was mostly elderly people. Kim works in a “Microlevel intervention involves working with individuals--- separately, in families, or in small groups---to facilitate change in individual behavior or in relationship” (DuBois and Miley 69). This types of individuals she is working with are elderly residents “who utilize long-term care experience a combination of physical or cognitive limitation that require some level of assistance in activities of daily living” (DuBois and Miley 314-315) and their families as well.

Volunteering in Belize, Central America I went to hospitals, prisons, and foster homes; I was shocked to see people living in very humble, and often debilitating conditions with very limited access to healthcare. What I found more surprising though, was that upon returning, I now saw the same problems affecting my community in Roxbury. I was born and raised in a low-income single parent household in Roxbury, where quality education, advancement opportunities, and access to basic amenities such as healthcare were not the norm – but it took my experiences in Belize to realize the problems in my own community, and the responsibility I have to address them. Over many years I have heard the gunshots that have taken the lives of young people that shared both my area code and my complexion.
Interning at DFCS has most certainly impacted my personal, professional, and academic goals. Before my internship, I knew I wanted to pursue my Master of Social Work after graduation and had some ideas about potential careers within the social work realm. My internship with DFCS has truly solidified my desire to pursue an MSW. While I have enjoyed my placement at DFCS, the internship has shown me that I don’t think DFCS is necessarily the agency I would like to work with after graduating with my masters. My work with DFCS (and seeing how many of our clients struggle with substance abuse) has solidified my thoughts that I would like to one day work as a substance abuse and mental health counselor.
Base on the analysis above, we identified there are three barriers that make the lack of public participation in decision making. The barriers are the nature of life in contemporary society, administrative processes and current practices and techniques of participation. Nature of life in contemporary society The barriers stemming from the practical realities of daily life are tied to the social class position of citizens and include factors like transportation, time constraints, family structure, number of family members in the labor force, child care, and economic disadvantages.
The Objective of the Intervention The objective is to implement a structured system that will assist in guiding interventions on a national scale. The focus of the intervention is that of accomplishing a decrease in the statistics of childhood obesity, by means of short, intermediate and long-term strategies. DeMattia and Lee Denney (2008), state that a comprehensive short-term programme must be of such a nature that it leads to further initiative in long-term success.
