Use your Applied Human Behavior in the Social Environment text to read the following:

• Chapter 15, “Cultural Influences on Human Behavior.”
  • In this chapter, read about challenges to the idea of race, as it is not a biological condition; questions regarding the concept of the melting pot; and comparison of concepts of individualistic and collectivistic cultures for strengths and challenges.
• Chapter 16, “Immigration Influences on Human Behavior.”
  • This chapter provides definitions of assimilation, acculturation, multiculturalism, and transnational; lists stressors and other issues for new immigrants; discusses various reasons for immigration; and discusses social biases against immigrants.

Referencing the “Girl Summit: One Year On” document from this unit’s study, imagine you have accepted a position with UNICEF in the One Year On campaign to stop child early forced marriage (CEFM) and female genital mutilation (FGM). These practices have been part of the culture of many African nations for centuries. How do you explain to your social work colleagues you intend to work toward the eradication of a long-held cultural ceremony? On what basis do you choose to accept or reject others’ cultural behaviors? Since you are the immigrant to a different culture, explain how the African cultures might impact your cultural beliefs.

This discussion is for you to gain more information about possible social work professional positions and to further your exploration of social work as a career.

This is a Collaborative Learning Community (CLC) assignment. Because this is a group project, I only need questions 2 & 3 in 4 slides

Chose a processed product (lithium-ion batteries) and create a 15-slide PowerPoint to answer the following questions:

PLEASE NOTE THE PRODUCT CHOSEN IS – “lithium-ion batteries”

1. History: what is the product, where has it been used, who used it first?

2. How is it made?: include items needed for production and steps in the process

3. What impact does making the product have on the environment? Hint look at: pollution of air, water, habitat loss…

4. What is being done to making the product sustainable? (Hint: Is there a company with a sustainability plan? Look for efforts on reusing, recycling, plans to replant if product components are renewable, etc.)

5. What is the future outlook of the product?

6. Create a campaign slide to encourage sustainable use of the product

Note: Each student is to include their name in the notes section of the slides that they worked on.
