Every profession has a code of ethics that guides professional behavior. In social work, the NASW Code of Ethics guides the behavior and decision-making practices of social workers. It is important that the theories social workers select in working with clients align, or are consistent, with the values and ethical principles identified in the NASW Code of Ethics.

In this Discussion, you align ethics and theory in relation to practice.

To prepare: Review the National Association of Social Workers Code of Ethics listed in the Learning Resources.

By Day 3

Post:

  • Select feminist theory or empowerment theory. Summarize the underlying principles and values of the theory in 3 to 4 brief sentences.
  • Analyze the extent to which the underlying principles and values of the theory are consistent with the NASW Code of Ethics in 3 to 4 brief sentences.
  • Briefly describe a client from your fieldwork experience and their presenting problem in 2 to 3 sentences using the theory you selected.
  • Identify one ethical standard from the NASW Code of Ethics that would apply to the client you described.
  • Explain how the theory is consistent with the work you did with the client and the ethical standard.

Every finance textbook starts with the thesis that the fundamental goal of business is to create value for the company’s owners. Do you think this also applies in Saudi Arabia? If so, what are its implications and are there other stakeholders to be considered?

Search the SEU library or the internet for an academic or industry-related article regarding this thesis and its implications in Saudi Arabia and Saudi Vision 2030.

For your discussion post, your first step is to summarize the article in two paragraphs, describing what you think are the most important points made by the authors (remember to cite the information, as appropriate). For the second step, include the reference listing with a hyperlink to the article. Please note, do not copy the article into your post and limit your summary to two paragraphs. Let me know if you have any questions. Enjoy your search.

Be sure to support your statements with logic and argument, citing all sources referenced. Post your initial response early, and check back often to continue the discussion. Be sure to respond to your peers’ posts as well.

Every time I think about causal arguments and causal relationships, I cannot help but think of the most explicit cause and effect examples ever, Rube Goldberg machines. One of my favorites is the Rube “Slowberg” featured in the video below (worth the watch). I know it must have been so much fun to plan, design, and build that particular Rube Goldberg machine. In this instance, I am reminded that planning is everything.

For this assignment you will need to:

  • Choose a topic and one of the graphic organizers from the set under the RESOURCES tab for this week.
  • Complete an organizer of your choosing on the topic you have selected.
    • The graphic organizers will have to printed, or you can draw a copy of the graphic organizer.
    • Complete the graphic organizer for cause and effect on the topic of your choice.
    • Take a photograph of your completed graphic organizer (the file will either have to be a jpg or pdf).
  • Upload your completed graphic organizer.

These tools could come in handy as you work through the planning process for writing a causal argument

Every September, somewhere in a far-away mountainous part of the world, the county highway crews get together and decide which roads to keep clear through the coming winter. There are n towns in this county, and the road system can be viewed as a (connected) graph G = (V, E) on this set of towns, each edge representing a road joining two of them. In the winter, people are high enough up in the mountains that they stop worrying about the length of roads and start worrying about their altitude—this is really what determines how difficult the trip will be. So each road—each edge e in the graph—is annotated with a number ae that gives the altitude of the highest point on the road. We’ll assume that no two edges have exactly the same altitude value ae. The height of a path P in the graph is then the maximum of ae over all edges e on P. Finally, a path between towns i and j is declared to be winter-optimal if it achieves the minimum possible height over all paths from i to j. The highway crews are going to select a set E ⊆ E of the roads to keep clear through the winter; the rest will be left unmaintained and kept off limits to travelers. They all agree that whichever subset of roads E they decide to keep clear, it should have the property that (V, E ) is a connected subgraph; and more strongly, for every pair of towns i and j, the height of the winter-optimal path in (V, E ) should be no greater than it is in the full graph G = (V, E). We’ll say that (V, E ) is a minimum-altitude connected subgraph if it has this property. Given that they’re going to maintain this key property, however, they otherwise want to keep as few roads clear as possible. One year, they hit upon the following conjecture:

The minimum spanning tree of G, with respect to the edge weights ae, is a minimum-altitude connected subgraph. (In an earlier problem, we claimed that there is a unique minimum spanning tree when the edge weights are distinct. Thus, thanks to the assumption that all ae are distinct, it is okay for us to speak of the minimum spanning tree.)

Initially, this conjecture is somewhat counterintuitive, since the minimum spanning tree is trying to minimize the sum of the values ae, while the goal of minimizing altitude seems to be asking for a fairly different thing. But lacking an argument to the contrary, they begin considering an even bolder second conjecture:

A subgraph (V, E ) is a minimum-altitude connected subgraph if and only if it contains the edges of the minimum spanning tree.

Note that this second conjecture would immediately imply the first one, since a minimum spanning tree contains its own edges. So here’s the question.

(a) Is the first conjecture true, for all choices of G and distinct altitudes ae? Give a proof or a counterexample with explanation.

(b) Is the second conjecture true, for all choices of G and distinct altitudes ae? Give a proof or a counterexample with explanation.
