Mr. Jones is curious about how you gathered this information. You consult the OSSTMM and read Section C on port scanning and the Internet Technology Security section, particularly the material on identifying services, so that you can address his concerns.

Question

a. Based on this information, write a one-page memo to Mr. Jones explaining the steps you took to find this information. Your memo should mention any information you found in the OSSTMM that relates to this stage of your testing.

You are speaking on the phone with Mike when he asks about what sort of cultural aspects you are considering in this plan.

You think about this and say, There may well be some considerable cultural differences that need addressing. I remember last year when there was a language mix-up with a doll. It was just saying ‘I love you’ in a different language, but it sounded like ‘kill mommy.’ Its funny now, but imagine being the marketing team in that building! Both of you laugh as you hang up the phone, but the memory does get you thinking seriously about cultural differences. Complete the following:

• What cultural considerations should you take into account for your strategy?
• Will this negatively impact your current strategy?
• Does this change your approach? Why or why not? 

Topic :Food Deserts: Some low-income neighborhoods have limited access to healthy and affordable foods, known as food deserts. Food deserts may have plenty of fast food chains, liquor stores, and convenience stores, but no grocery stores with fresh produce. As a result, children in these communities are more likely to suffer from obesity and other health problems.

Formatting:  two pages, single-spaced, APA format and should be divided into three sections: 1) problem description, 2) policy proposal, and 3) recommendation. You may use bullet points to highlight your arguments, particularly in sections 2 and 3.

Proposal Outline:

(This outline is meant to help you organize your proposal. Do not copy and paste it into your assignment)

1) Problem Description

In at least one paragraph, describe the problem you have selected 

In at least one paragraph, explain why it is important to find a solution. Why is this problem detrimental to children, youth, and/or families?

 Assessment Description

Students maintained and submitted weekly reflective narratives throughout the course to explore the personal knowledge and skills gained throughout this course. This assignment combines those entries into one course-long reflective journal that integrates leadership and inquiry into current practice as it applies to the Professional Capstone and Practicum course.

This final submission should also outline what students have discovered about their professional practice, personal strengths and weaknesses that surfaced during the process, additional resources and abilities that could be introduced to a given situation to influence optimal outcomes, and, finally, how the student met the competencies aligned to this course.

The final journal should address a variable combination of the following, while incorporating your specific clinical practice experiences:

1. New practice approaches
2. Interprofessional collaboration
3. Health care delivery and clinical systems
4. Ethical considerations in health care
5. Practices of culturally sensitive care
6. Ensuring the integrity of human dignity in the care of all patients
7. Population health concerns
8. The role of technology in improving health care outcomes
9. Health policy
10. Leadership and economic models
11. Health disparities

While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and in-text citations and references should be presented using APA documentation guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

You are required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite. A link to the LopesWrite technical support articles is located in Class Resources if you need assistance.

Discussion 2: Anti-Racist Social Work Practice

In the wake of the murder of George Floyd, the Black Lives Matter movement, and the rise of anti-Asian sentiment, many organizations and institutions have posted anti-racist statements on their websites. The statements typically condemn racism and describe the ways in which the organization is combatting racism and working toward allyship with communities of color. Walden University, the National Association of Social Workers (NASW), and regional NASW chapters have all issued statements.

But what might anti-racism look like for a single social worker? How would you convey your commitment to social justice and your professional beliefs and values? For this weeks second Discussion, you draft your own personal statement of anti-racist social work practice.

To Prepare

• Review the Learning Resources on racism and on the principles of anti-racist practice and social justice.
• Read and reflect on the sample anti-racist statements from educational institutions and organizations in the Learning Resources.
• Consider how you would frame and articulate your own anti-racist statement and the words you would use.
• You can use Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, or another software to present visuals in addition to your written statement if you would like.

By Day 4

Post a 150- to 200-word personal statement that reflects your anti-racist social work practice.   

(F.Y.I I AM AN AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMAN AND I AM AN ALLY TO THE LGBTQ+COMMUNITY)

Also record and post a 1- to 2-minute video to explain the choices made in your statement. Specifically:

• Why did you choose the wording you did?
• In what ways does the statement express your beliefs and commitment to anti-racist practice?
• How does your statement address the principles of anti-racist practice, as described in the textbook?
