The object of spending time together it the quality of time spent together not the quantity of time. Effective communication means having the ability to listen to what is being said and being able to speak to one another calmly. When showing appreciation and commitment to one another is basic respect for one another and helping the family member accomplish what they think is important to them. Good coping skills and value is having the ability to deal with crisis when they arise(Sale, n.d). My family consists of my husband, two sons and myself. Currently one son is living at home and the other son is in the military. My husband has retired from the military and is now pursuing his education. My son is currently in high school and playing every sport that he can possibly play. As for me I am currently in the military. My husband and I are the nucleus of our household.

Human services respond directly to the needs of a parent and child; as well as human services representatives and their clients.

  • Race to Incarcerate

    Mass incarceration has caused the prison’s populations to increase dramatically. The reason for this increase in population is because of the sentencing policies that put a lot of men and women in prison for an unjust amount of time. The prison population has be caused by periods of high crime rates, by the medias assembly line approach to the production of news stories that bend the truth of the crimes, and by political figures preying on citizens fear. For example, this fear can be seen in “Richard Nixon’s famous campaign call for “law and order” spoke to those fears, hostilities, and racist underpinnings” (Mauer pg. 52). This causes law enforcement to focus on crimes that involve violent crimes/offenders. Such as, gang members, drive by shootings, drug dealers, and serial killers. Instead of our law agencies focusing their attention on the fundamental causes of crime. Such as, why these crimes are committed, the family, and preventive services. These agencies choose to fight crime by establishing a “War On Drugs” and with “Get Tough” sentencing policies. These policies include “three strikes laws, mandatory minimum sentences, and juvenile waives laws which allows kids to be trialed as adults.

  • Casw Code Of Ethics Analysis

    707 Words  | 2 Pages

    The CASW Code of Ethics outlines a number of values that guide the social work profession. These include (1) Respect for the Inherent Dignity and Worth of Persons; (2) Pursuit of Social Justice; and (3) Service to Humanity (CASW, 2005a). The first value of Respecting the Inherent Dignity and Worth of Persons advocates for the protection of individuals because it encompasses the right to self-determination, human rights, and the right to informed consent (CASW, 2005a, p.4). Notwithstanding, one principle found in this value also supports the protection of society, encouraging social workers to "... uphold the right of society to impose limitations on the self-determination of individuals, when such limitations protect individuals from self-harm and from harming others (CASW, 2005a, p.4). This first value from the Code of Ethics makes it confusing for social workers because it guides them to advocate for human rights and self-determination, while justifying limitations in order to prevent harm to the individual or society.

    Families provide people with an atmosphere in which to live, grow, and develop. A family culture is established by the parents and instilled in the children during their upbringing. A healthy family is a family which follows a set of strong morals, stays loyal to one another, cooperates, and works together to avoid conflict. An environment where there is openness amongst family members is ideal because minds that are open are more susceptible to avoiding conflict than minds that are closed. If conflict gets the best of a family, it has the potential to increase hostility and create remoteness between family members, however, if a family resolves conflict, it can strengthen and enforce the family relationships.
