Week 5 discussion response

I found the tales of Cu Chullain to be fascinating and enjoyable to read, despite the way that his violence is glorified and revered. He is portrayed as the ultimate Irish hero, with Herculean strength and the reckless courage of Achilles, indeed like Hercules and Achilles his name and reputation inspires fear in his enemies. Its hard to believe so many of his courageous feats were accomplished while he was only a child, including impregnating the fierce Scottish warrior Aife.

In my opinion many of Cu Chullains endeavours can be defined as heroic, he rescues his friend, King Conchobor from the battle against Eogan Mac Durthact (Kinsella, 80), singlehandedly defends the woman, and men in pangs against the twenty seven marauders from Faichi with only sticks and stones (Kinsella, 81) and after killing the hound in self-defence at the feast of Conchobor, offers to stand in its place and protect Culann, which is how he came to be known as Cu Chullain, the hound of Culann(Kinsella, 83).

From an early age he displayed his strength and fearlessness, challenging three times fifty boys on the fields of Emain and defeating them with nothing but a shield made of sticks. This was presumably where he first experienced Riastrad or Warp-Spasm, a hulk like rage (Kinsella,77).

With so many incredible feats already accomplished he continues to seek fame and glory, perhaps out of Narcissism and no doubt fuelled by his Godlike strength. One day while the Druid Cathbad was teaching his students druid lore, he overhears Cathbad say, If a warrior took up arms for the first time that day, their name would endure in Ireland as a word signifying great acts, and stories about him would last forever (Kinsella,83-84). Upon hearing this he tricks Conchobor into giving him his weapons and thus fulfilling the druids prophecy, though Cathbad warns him that while he may achieve greatness, his life would be short, to which he replies If I achieve fame I am content, though I only had one day on Earth. (Kinsella, 85) While all of this behaviour could be described as narcissistic, I think it is rooted in his sense of servitude and desire to protect and honor his King and countrymen, perhaps he felt he alone could defeat all of their enemies.

He showed other acts of heroism too in my opinion, despite his great strength, speed and skill he also showed mercy at times. Once in surrendering to his exiled former foster father Fergus if he would agree to do the same at time of Cu Chullains choosing. He repeated this again with his foster brother Ferbaeth, whom was sent by Medb to meet Cu Chullain in battle. Cu Chullain begged him not to fight him, ultimately Ferbaeth chose to honor Medbs request and forsake foster-brotherhood with Cu Chullain, leading to his death.(Kinsella, 128-130).

Ultimately, like so many mythological heroes before and after him , I think his pride and arrogance lead to his downfall. He had made so many enemies in his short life, who all conspired against him to relieve him of his spears, knowing this was the best and perhaps only way to kill him. Three times in a display of arrogance he gave up a spear by slaying one of Medbs satirists (Kinsella, 126).  Elsewhere, Cu Chullain lost some of strength after being forced to break his geas after being forced to choose between being inhospitable to a woman or eating dogs meat. In his last battle he spies Morrigan, whom had earlier prophesied about his early death, charging into battle he was poetically slain by his own spear.

You will need to clearly identify the person or group, explain the nature of the problem, and/or injustice, and articulate a solution/expectation/outcome for the group. This assignment will be approximately 5 pages in length and should follow APA Style guidelines in every applicable respect (e.g. cover page, headings margins, etc.)

This MUST be submitted in Microsoft Word format.

 

HW

 

Needs to be at least 1500 words with at least 10 scholarly article within the past 5 years. APA format, no plagiarism. 

When meeting with your stakeholders to discuss the needs assessment, will you seek out what they identify as the needs? 

Accessing Information About Evidence-Based Practices

The first steps toward narrowing the gap between research and practice are recognizing that one exists and educating oneself and others. Social workers must realize the benefits and eliminate the misconceptions surrounding evidence-based practice. In the Bradley episode featured in the resources, the social worker combines her assessment of Tiffani Bradleys individual situation with her knowledge of research to evaluate her supervisors recommended intervention. Now that the social worker has recognized a gap, she/he/they need to access potentially relevant information for a specific case and critically analyze for its applicability to that case. This weeks Assignment allows you to practice these critical next steps in the Bradley family case.

To prepare for this Assignment, review Episode 4 of the Bradley family case study. Develop a list with 23 researchable questions that you could use to find evidence about the efficacy of 12-step programs or other treatments for substance abuse in adolescents. Then, using the resources provided, search for two evidence-based interventions that would be appropriate for Tiffani Bradley. Be sure to consider quality of research, readiness for dissemination, replications, and costs.

Underrepresented groups in the United States carry a significant and disproportionate burden of specific diseases. For example, while African Americans make up only 12% of the U.S. population, this group accounted for 44% of all HIV/AIDS cases in the United States in 2010 (Kaiser Family Foundation, 2013). In 2010, Hispanics were 1.2 times (Office of Minority Health, 2012) more likely to be obese and almost 2 times (Office of Minority Health, 2013) more likely to be diagnosed with diabetes than their non-Hispanic white counterparts.

There has been much discussion about the type of effective interventions for promoting well-being and improving health outcomes in all Americans, especially for underrepresented groups. Medical social workers excel at providing direct services to individual patients. Given current efforts to shift the paradigm to population-centered interventions, social workers must modify their skills, broaden their perspective, and consider evidence-based interventions.

To prepare for this Assignment, select a public health issue of interest to you (e.g., obesity, diabetes, cancer, HIV/AIDS, mental health).

  • Describe the specific underrepresented population(s) affected by the health issue you selected. Explain how this population is discriminately affected by the health issue you selected.
  • Explain the primary determinants of the health issue. Then, explain how these determinants contribute to the disparities in care for the population.
  • Explain what specific social work interventions you might implement to address this health issue, reduce or eliminate disparities, and improve health outcomes.
  • Identify some challenges you may encounter when implementing the interventions. Then, explain the strategies you might employ to address these challenges.
  • Explain the advocacy roles a medical social worker might play in addressing the disparities in health care for the health issues and population you selected.
  • Cite your response using external scholarly resources.

Scenario

XYZ health clinic has operated in the local area for 10 years. Due to an economic decline as a result of the states increasing number of uninsured residents, XYZ health clinic must adjust its current service offerings in order to recoup lost revenue. The state has elected to opt out of the Medicaid expansion program; therefore, many of the residents remain uninsured. This has proven extremely problematic for XYZ as many of the patients in the area are low income, but do not qualify for traditional Medicaid. As a result, XYZs payer mix is unfavorable as 33% of the residents have public insurance, 12% are uninsured, and only 5% are covered by private insurance. XYZ would like to implement telehealth as part of a new strategy to reach a wider demographic of patients.

Instructions

You will conduct a case study analysis of the aforementioned case. Your case analysis will address XYZs health clinic challenges reflected in the scenario.

  • Utilizing a mind map or Root Cause Analysis, provide an assessment of the issues facing XYZ health clinic.
  • Assess the strategy by XYZ to implement a telehealth program in order to address current issues facing XYZ.
  • Develop a proposed solution to the issues facing XYZ.
