Midterm Question #3 for Global Social Work

3. Consider what we have learned about child development and cooperative and competitive societies. Imagine you were asked to consult with parents at a preschool in a country that had been deprived of up-to-date social work, psychological, and educational concepts. The parents wonder  how they can help prevent their children's engagement in violence and instead be productive and self-assertive.
First provide several points you would want to make, with the scholarly reasons why.
Then, drawing from what you have learned from Healey and the readings, describe the process you would engage in with the parents so they felt empowered and interested in what you have to say.
Midterm Question #2, 2019:
Watch the following TED talk:

a. Using what we have learned about self-determination, human rights, and structural violence, conceptualize what Memory Banda's sister has endured.

b. Now using what we have learned about organizing fromVieques and community advocacy from Grodofsky and other readings about bringing about change, describe fundamental principles for profound change in unjust social conditions.
