POST 1:

In order to figure out what a program is it is important to start with an agency. The article states, “A social service agency is an organization that exists to fill a legitimate social purpose such as: 1. To protect children from physical, sexual, and emotional harm 2. To enhance quality of life for developmentally delayed adolescents 3. To improve nutritional health for housebound senior citizens” (Grinnell M., 2015, p. 141). The article then goes on to discuss the different types of programs within agencies and how those are organized. The article goes on to state, “The general rule of ensuring that programs within an agency are logically linked together may seem simple enough that you might be wondering why we are emphasizing this point. The reality is that way too many programs are added to agencies on a haphazard, chaotic, and disorganized basis. This is because new programs spring out of last-minute funding opportunities that come available for new, but totally dissimilar, programs (to the agency’s goal, that is). While a social service administrator must constantly seek new resources to provide better and/ or additional services within the agency’s programs, it’s important that new and additional programs do not compromise existing ones” (Grinnell M., 2015, p. 145). It goes on to describe the importance of naming programs and suggests that you only pick one, “1. Function, such as Adoption Program or Family Support Program 2. Setting, such as Group Home Program or Residential Program 3. Target population, such as Services for the Handicapped Program 4. Social problem, such as Child Sexual Abuse Program or Behavioral Adaptation Treatment Program” (Grinnell M., 2015, p. 145).

A program I am going to focus on is where I would like to do my practicum which is a hospice facility. This would be a program within an agency where the goals are to improve nutritional health for housebound senior citizens. For hospice you are helping improve the quality of life and making sure the patients are happy where they are at and being taken care of. When describing the logic models the text states, “A clear and coherent program logic model provides great assistance during an evaluation’s design. It points out the key features and shows the relationships that may or may not need to be evaluated. At this level, evaluation questions are the foundation for an evaluation’s design” (Grinnell M., 2015, p. 170). This model is used to see how effect the program is. I would use it to look at the hospice facility I was working for to see how the funds are being allocated and to make sure the patients are being taken care of.

Watch either a War film made in the last 25 years or a Neo Noir film from the list, Neo Nior Films 1982 – 1999.pdf . (It cannot be your favorite movie.)

If you watched a War film, what does it have in common with the War films in the Week Five content? If you watched a Neo Noir film, what does it have in common with the Film Noir films in the Week Five content (other than being in color).

How does color play a part in the film you watched for this week? Identify at least three places that color stood out in the film.

Does there seem to be a predominate color or does a color seem to be missing from the film? If so, what is that color and do you think it had an impact on the film? If so how, if not why not?

If you did not see a predominate color or a color that seems to be missing from the film describe an addition place in the film where color plays a part.

To receive credit for this post, please write up a 250-word-ish response to the following prompt by Friday, March 23rd.

As many have noted, performance and installation art are merely specialized versions of more general cultural phenomena. I addressed a few of these in class (like Disney World rides or Kanye West concerts), but I think the genius of installation particularly is that you can apply its logic to *any* environment which has an aesthetic effect. That is to say, the logic of installation as an enfolding aestheticized space can be applied to areas outside the museum, places that move you, that make you feel a particular way. Likewise, we can think of performance as something we do every day (mostly in a mundane way). Like a performance artist, our behavior in everyday life is a performance, a performance of ourselves. Obviously we tend to de-emphasize the weirder aspects of this (people don’t generally scream or sing or even run in public).

For this post I’d like you to reflect on either a space that you get an aesthetic effect from (I like the 589 expressway at night when there’s no traffic: the uniform lights, the smooth freeway pavement, and the speed turn the quotidian act of driving into something more like a nightclub) or to describe a way that you perform outside of quotidian or normal ways of behaving (a habit I have is that I whistle in public or sometimes shuffle my feet in a dance-like way to move around people and things).

This is a weird discussion, I suppose… so get weird!

Case Study 7

Disorders of the Bladder and Lower Urinary Tract

Alvita is a frail 89-year-old woman residing in a nursing home. She is able to move slowly around the residence with the use of a walker, but appreciates when her daughter is there to hold her arm and walk alongside her. When one of the health care staff changes Alvita, her daughter helps. Alvita’s incontinence has progressed, particularly over the last six years since she has resided in the nursing home. Alvita can smile at her lack of bladder control, however, and says that her incontinence really began when she was a young woman, just after the birth of her second daughter.

1. Alvita’s mobility is limited. How does this affect continence in the elderly?
2. Shortly after the birth of her second daughter, Alvita experienced mild incontinence, particularly after laughing or coughing. What was she experiencing? What is the pathophysiology behind this type of incontinence?
