2022 Midterm Question 2

 

 

2.   Imagine you were going to lead a parent support group in a country DIFFERENT than your own. How would you use Global social work principles that Healey describes to plan how to go about it? What content would you use to promote parenting that does not encourage violence, using the ideas from readings from the class about child development and family relationships? You can include topics such as avoiding practices such as child trafficking, female genital mutilation and stigmatizing youth based on LGBTQ status.

2022 Midterm Question 1

 

1.     Read and listen to the following 2018 Nobel prize speech by Nadia Murad (Thanks to Barakat for this suggestion):

If you can, read more about the history of the Yazidi people, their opposition to killing and advocacy for peace, and their oppression and genocide by several groups, and the enslavement of Yazidi women and children. Consider what she is saying about how the world stood by while her people were murdered and women and children subjected to sexual slavery. Consider her proposal: That the UN would prevent the genocide, liberate women and girls who were being held captive, offer special protections to survivors and outlaw terrorism in Iraq and other countries.

She says she hears the cries of other women and children who still are being subjected to sexual violence and the world should stop this.

You can answer one of these questions:

1)    Think about women and girls who are subjected to violence in your country. Drawing from what you have read about effective models to combat injustice and advocate for and help persecuted persons, what could social workers do to prevent this in your country?

2)    Consider that the Yazidi people have a different religion, culture, and history than the majority of persons in their countries. They have been mistakenly called “Devil-worshippers,” persecuted and murdered. Think about what Zimbardo and others say about the problem of “dehumanizing” persons who are different and how this is an incitement to violence. Consider persons who are members of minority groups in your country. How are they misunderstood and what can social workers do to prevent such misunderstandings, prevent the dehumanization of persons with different beliefs and cultures than the majority and initiate a “virtuous social cycle”?

 Global Social Work 2021 Midterm Question #3

Who are the terrorists in your own country? Think about what Post says, and what Zimbardo says, about how to prevent violent extremism and acts of evil, and also what you are learning about global social work. Briefly describe a social work intervention to mitigate the terrorism.

 Global Social Work 2021 Midterm Question 2:

Imagine you were going to lead a parent support group in a country DIFFERENT than your own. How would you use Global social work principles that Healey describes to plan how to go about it? What content would you aim to address to promote parenting that does not encourage violence, using the ideas from readings from the class about child development and family relationships?

Global Social Work 20201, Midterm Question 1.     Read the following Nobel prize speech by Wangari Maathai:

 

https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/peace/2004/maathai/26050-wangari-maathai-nobel-lecture-2004/

You can also see at that website her speech and an interview she had, and the website for the movement she founded in Kenya: https://www.greenbeltmovement.org/who-we-are

 

Now consider our readings about poverty and the social and economic oppression of women. Use the readings and your own thoughts to understand how the Green Belt movement simultaneously mitigated environmental degradation, poverty, and the social and economic oppression of women.
