One can not research social work without coming across the name Jane Addams. Jane’s work within the world of social reform, had a great deal of lasting power. She was at the time of her death, best known for establishing the Hull house and advocating for fair treatment of immigrant communities. Her work may have started in Chicago, but reached worldwide with her reform. Jane Addams influences had a wide reach with lasting results, the greatest being the Hull house.
The popularity of the Progressive movement in the early 1900's was due to several social and cultural changes in the United States. In the wake of chaotic reorganizations of the country after industrialization and urbanization, as well as the influences of earlier ideological movements such as Populism and Pragmatism, the Progressives sought to bring order and progress to society through central planning, social reform, and even social control. The intellectuals were understood to have the best interests of the people in mind, and therefore had the responsibility to intervene in society through the means of the state. These areas of intervention included sanitation, inculcation of certain moral and behavioral habits, environmental conservation,
Professional organizations uphold its members and try to improve nursing practice. Professional organizations can serve as a voice in government. There is power in numbers. A community is a group of people who either share a common interest such as church, school, or a geographic location such as a neighborhood, town or city (Mason, Gardner, & O'Grady, 2016). By participating in community outreach programs, nurses use their knowledge, skills, and experience to improve the community's health.
Taking place in the late 1800’s, this movement took place in order to help the poor through community centers and social services. One effective part of this was the YMCA and the Salvation Army’s help. The YMCA opened libraries and pools, while the Salvation Army cared for and gave food to them. One person with a huge impact was Florence Kelley, a large supporter of this movement. She helped limit child labor by fighting for the Illinois Factory Act.
These efforts included developing strategies to maintain connections with residents while adhering to social distancing guidelines. Despite our efforts, it became evident that the root cause of these issues was not external but rather structural faults within the organization. This realization has made me acutely aware of how institutional problems can impact any organization, including healthcare. My distinct history in Housing gives me the confidence to contribute enriching perspectives to the MEPN program. I am adequately prepared to offer awareness, clarity, and expertise in collaboratively overcoming ongoing organizational barriers and challenges.
Model Details An agent-based model was constructed to explore the emergence of trends each year as a function of varying levels of conformity in individuals. In the model, agents choose between two styles of facial hair (beard or non-beard) based on one of the two conformity strategies. Some of the agents are conformists; these agents adopt the most popular style of facial hair with probability p, where p is the proportion of agents who have adopted the most popular style. Other agents are “hipsters”; these agents adopt the most popular style with probability (1-p), where p is the proportion of agents who have adopted the most popular style.
In my references I stumble upon various results of experiments that authors mention in their work and those results stated some of the consequences the brain faces after multitasking. Eric Jaffe (2012) shows how our brains are being rewired when we multitask with technology and how it’s nowadays harder for us to finish one single task in a reasonable time. Another results from the investigations is that very time the brain is forced to multitask it uses a vast amount of his nutrients leaving the person exhausted and with no energy only after a short period of time. My sources reveal that multitasking in general is bad, but when combined with technology it becomes dangerous. It has been scientifically proven that multitasking leaves us stressed,
For example, the internship provides a setting where I can test different ways to communicate my ideas to a team of peers while encouraging them to share their thoughts and contributions. It took time, but I also learned the value in developing habits that help balance my priorities appropriately, including my schooling, internship obligations, and community service, appropriately. Lastly, Dr. Phillippi has really given me the chance to develop my ideas and exercise my creativity.

Multitasking is used in everyday life, people use multitasking without even knowing it. The fact of the matter is that multitasking has both advantages and disadvantages. In the essay “The Myth of Multitasking” by Christine Rosen, Rosen is able to reference various doctors, specialists and psychologists to support her claim that multitasking is dangerous not only while driving and working, but also for people's overall well-being. Which I agree with, the human mind should only focus on single though at time. Multitasking requires that we focus on multiple unrelated thoughts at the same time.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MANAGEMENT AND LEADERSHIP It is important to appreciate that leadership roles are different from management functions. In Stephen Covey’s (1999) book The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, he quoted Peter Drucker as saying: ‘Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things. Management is efficiency in climbing the ladder of success; leadership is about determining whether the ladder is leaning against the right wall.’ This suggests that management is about tasks, whereas leadership is about perception, judgement, skill and philosophy.
Social influence theory refers to the change in behavior caused due the influence from one person to another. This change may happen intentionally or unintentionally depending on the relationship of the person with his surrounding people and the society as a whole. Social influence has three areas which are conformity, compliance and obedience. Conformity is where the change of behavior, values, and beliefs happens to fulfill the belonging and esteem needs and the approval of certain groups.
During my internship program although our team had no leader, I took the responsibility to distribute the work among our team to ensure we finished on time. I am always a team player who believes in ‘Teamwork makes a Dream works’ – The benefit of accessing more ideas, working in harmony and helping each other for achieving mutual goals. I also never restrained myself to curriculum and participated in many seminars on topics related to computer science, information technology, and entrepreneurship. I underwent training in programming language and was also exposed to the practical nature of
