Imagine that you are a curator at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and are planning an exhibition of objects from the AHIS 1 material that all relate to a singular theme. Give your show a title and select three objects that we have covered in class and explain how they relate to the theme. The objects must be from three different cultures. The theme could be anything from function to type of material to subject matter. This part should be 2-3 paragraphs and include the 3 images pasted into your document. Be sure to include the identifying information of each image – title, date, materials, culture. (Worth 50 points)

Then select one of the three objects to be featured on a public banner advertising the show. You’ve probably seen banners like these  download around Los Angeles. How would this object spark interest in the show? Discuss the object’s formal qualities and how it would captivate a person’s interest if they were driving or walking quickly past the banner. This part should be 1-2 paragraphs (Worth 50 points).

**A few banner ideas from our art history classes will be selected to be printed and hung on actual, physical banners at SMC, demonstrating the creativity and hard work of SMC students.

Prevention Of Vicarious Trauma: Self-Awareness And Self-Assessment

/in /by

As a helping professional, many factors can influence the development of vicarious trauma, including client accounts and your own personal and professional experiences. The shifts in cognitive schemas, as discussed in this week’s Discussion, however, are not absolute. You can participate in activities that can minimize or ameliorate the effects of VT. Self-awareness and self-assessment are critical in identifying the development of VT. It is important to note that practitioners who are more susceptible to VT, such as those working with survivors of critical incidents, especially need to be aware of the symptoms and take steps to minimize the development of VT.

For this Assignment, reflect on the strategies you read about and those you may know from outside this course. Consider those that you use currently or might use in the future to mitigate the effects of VT. Complete the Compassion Fatigue Self Test and analyze the results.

The Assignment (2–3 pages):

  • Summarize the results of the self-assessment.
  • Explain what you learned about yourself as it relates to vicarious trauma.
  • Describe three strategies that you might use to mitigate the effects of vicarious trauma, and explain why you selected each.

Policy Identification

/in /by

According to the Council on Social Work Education, Competency 5: Engage in Policy Practice:

Social workers understand that human rights and social justice, as well as social welfare and services, are mediated by policy and its implementation at the federal, state, and local levels. Social workers understand the history and current structures of social policies and services, the role of policy in service delivery, and the role of practice in policy development. Social workers understand their role in policy development and implementation within their practice settings at the micro, mezzo, and macro levels and they actively engage in policy practice to effect change within those settings. Social workers recognize and understand the historical, social, cultural, economic, organizational, environmental, and global influences that affect social policy. They are also knowledgeable about policy formulation, analysis, implementation, and evaluation. Social workers:

  • Identify social policy at the local, state, and federal level that impacts well-being, service delivery, and access to social services;
  • Assess how social welfare and economic policies impact the delivery of and access to social services;
  • Apply critical thinking to analyze, formulate, and advocate for policies that advance human rights and social, economic, and environmental justice.

This assignment is intended to help students demonstrate the behavioral components of this competency in their field education.

To prepare: Working with your field instructor, identify, evaluate, and discuss policies established by the local, state, and federal government (within the last five years) that affect the day to day operations of the field placement agency.

The Assignment (1-2 pages):

  • Describe the policies and their impact on the field agency.
  • Propose specific recommendations regarding how you, as a social work intern, and the agency can advocate for policies pertaining to advancing social justice for the agency and the clients it serves.
