The opinion of a CPS child abuse investigator The opinion of a CPS child abuse investigator plays a critical role in determining whether a child remains with their biological parents or whether they are admitted to foster care. Before arriving at any decision, they should gather information through interviews for verification of alleged violations. They are expected to interview the child victim in person reported cases. Besides, they are expected to observe any non-verbal cues in the child victim. As professions, they are also likely to maintain sensitivity to avoid instances that could increase the level of trauma experienced by the child. Caregivers and adults residing in the child’s victim’s house also provide a significant source of information necessary to verify claims of abuse. Therefore, a child abuse investigator should also individually conduct interviews with parents or patrons in charge of the child. Other children living in the homes should also be interviewed in person over the alleged violations of the child’s rights. The alleged offender also has a right to respond and provide their perspective on the abuses reported.…
Social Psychology research proposal The impact of social media like Facebook contributes to individuals comparing their body image with those of others. People are surrounded by images that emphasise thinness for women, and muscularity/leanness for men. Past research has found that women who engage in comparisons through social media sites experience more appearance and body dissatisfaction. However, recent research has found that this dissatisfaction is not just limited to women. Men also experience body dissatisfaction as a result of comparisons through social media sites. Design a study to test the idea that body image on Facebook will be related to body dissatisfaction in either men or women. Be sure to develop a study that is ethically feasible.

HAPPINESS IN EVERYDAY LIFE Among many factors which bring meaning to human life is happiness, a feeling that is rare in human life because of many ups and downs which people must go through in everyday life. However, for those who have embraced happiness in their lives have always testified of what it means to have a fulfilling life (Parks, Della, Pierce, Zilca & Lyubomirsky, 2012). One unique feature with happiness is its timelessness and endurance regardless of the circumstances. Failure to appreciate the role of endurance in order to live happily has made many people to live miserably. To describe happiness in words has been a challenging endeavor because it can only be felt, but of much importance for leading a good life. People have different opinions on happiness, with some believing that happiness can be found in money and good relationships yet others feel elated when succeeding professionally. Contrally to what many people belief, that happiness is a feeling that just happens in human lives, Erber & Erber (2014) proved the notion wrong by quoting that happiness…
Guidelines to resolve the conflict of responsibility Any counselor has a primary responsibility to promote the welfare of their clients and ensure that the client’s dignity is preserved during the counseling. The counseling profession ethics requires the therapist to fulfill other parties’ responsibilities as well. Other parties, in this case, include the client’s family members, the institution he/she is working from, the court or even a working colleague. In a situation whereby the counselor is faced with a dilemma and cannot easily resolve the conflict of responsibilities that the case they are handling come with, client’s confidentiality is always at risk and to come up with a decision that doesn’t violate the client’s confidentiality is always the problem. In most cases when the client’s life is at risk (they want to end their life, or someone else is threatening to), the court has ordered information or the information the client has disclosed suggests that there are other people at risk that when the therapists get caught up deciding where their primary responsibility should lie. In such an occasion it’s…

Mentoring Relationships and Programs for Youth ABSTRACT—Mentoring is one of the most popular social interventions in American society, with an estimated three million youth in formal one-to-one relationships. Studies have revealed significant associations between youth involvement in mentoring relationships and positive developmental outcomes. These associations are modest, however, and depend on several intervening processes. Centrally important is the formation of close, enduring connections between mentors and youth that foster positive developmental change. Effects of mentoring programs likewise typically have been small in magnitude, but they increase systematically with the use of program practices likely to support relationship development. Gaps between research and practice are evident both in the indiscrimi-nate use of the term mentoring in the prevention field and in a focus on the growth and efficiency of mentoring pro-grams at the expense of quality. Continued expansion of effective mentoring will require a better alignment of research and practice. KEYWORDS—mentoring; preventive intervention; nonpar-ent adults; youth Organized approaches to mentoring youth in the United States date back to reform-oriented initiatives in the juvenile court system more…
How does this image continue This image is maintained by Kyoko Mori when she asserts that she cannot knit a sweater because the patterns will confuse her. This happens after she narrates of her experience, knitting a mitten to the German woman that she met. This image is also continued when she made an asymmetrical sweater with one sleeve being more extensive than the other. She also talks of her first homec sewing project being no better than the mittens meaning that the project was as bad as the mitten situation. She also acknowledges that there is the spirit in her knitting life of laziness and overachieving, and that is why a voice in her will say that she won’t try something because it doesn’t come naturally to her. Mittens emerge as an essential part of the essay’s theme in ways such as the regard of Latvia’s tradition for girls to make mittens from a young age to start early on her dowry chest. During the wedding, mittens were distributed to all participants. Also, Mori ultimately decides to reconcile to…
