MY DISABILITY IS ASTHMA  Please post your presentation on this discussion board. Presentation: . You will record a 3:00-5:00 minute presentation about the disability of choice. It could be a Powerpoint, YouTube video, or other presentation platform. You must be speaking in the video, you do not have to show your face. My suggestion would for you to use Canvas Studio for your video because of the ability to use closed captions. If you do not use closed captioning, you must provide a transcript. If you have a client that are hard of hearing or deaf, you must be able to provide resources that accommodate for their needs.  Also, you must include a references meeting APA standards and source the images that you use in the presentation. This should be the last slide of your presentation and on the slides in which you are using that information. For a YouTube, you can include the references in the description of the video. You will review 2 peer presentation. The peer evaluations rubric is on the assignment tab. You will have to turn in presentation evaluation for 2 peers into the assignment. This is the same rubric I will be using for your presentations. Review peers that do not have the same topic as you. Learn more about different disabilities.   Integrate what you have learned throughout this course and how it applies to the topic: . Elements that need to be covered: Disability and definition % of individuals impacted by disability Describe the disability across the lifespan and issues to be aware of at different periods of times (*look at each week’s topic) Policies /Legislation impacting the topic What type of accommodations may be needed from a social work perspective to help this type of client?

Original Post Submit your original answers to both Part 1 and Part 2 listed below in an original written or recorded post (up to 8 mins). Note that recorded posts also need to have the links required included in written form on your post.) Part 1. Answer the following questions fully (150-word minimum for the three answers answers) One of the questions from the Module 7 lecture video. (What are some media depictions of delinquency that you think have been influential in the last five years? List them and explain why? ) Consider which of the TikTok Challenges addressed in the short excerpt by Prof. Bates and me required for this module you are familiar with.  Explain how you are familiar with them (e.g., participated in them, someone you know participated in them, indirect knowledge, viewed them etc). Then link the class to other new examples of challenges or youth behavior on TikTok that have occurred in 2022.  Do you think a ban on TikTok for youth, if enacted, will prevent youth from engaging in online challenges? Why or why not? (TikTok Challenges: Inspiring Harmless Youth (Mis)Behavior or Serious Delinquency? In the early 2020s, TikTok Challenges are inspiring many young people to film themselves engaging in norm-breaking, difficult, and/or funny activities and to post their short videos on the app. Although many adults see these challenges as inspiration for relatively harmless pranks, others see them as crossing the line into the realms of delinquency and crime.The challenges themselves may be relatively innocuous, but they have some harmful effects. In the Door Kick Challenge or Door Knock Challenge, youth were encouraged to kick or knock on doors twice to the drumbeat of a song by Kesha, “Die Young.” This challenge seemed relatively benign until elders were being frightened by teens kicking in their doors thinking they were breaking into their homes (Echevarria 2021). In the Bathroom Challenge or Devious Licks Challenge, students filmed themselves damaging and sometimes stealing items from school bathrooms, such as light fixtures, faucets, and soap and paper towel dispensers. In states across the U.S., school administrators and law enforcement agents quickly labeled these behaviors as vandalism and theft (Drier 2021). The Orbeez Challenge motivated some TikTok users to shoot strangers and unsuspecting people with Orbeez gel pellet guns. Although they came from a toy gun, the pellets hurt people in multiple ways—causing physical damage and scaring people who thought they were victims of actual shootings (Brown 2022; Diaz 2022; Galvan 2022). In addition, adults across the country raised concerns that shooting drivers and bicyclists increased the risk of accidents, was dangerous, and constituted a crime (Yuma 12 News 2022).As a result of the uproar about children’s participation in social media challenges, TikTok administrators have posted information about assessing challenges and added a warning to the app. They encourage users to stop after they see a challenge that may have disturbed them, think about what could have happened and speak to others about it, refrain from doing challenges that are risky or harmful, and report potentially harmful challenges to TikTok administrators. Think about these measures: are they enough to stop kids from taking part in these challenges? Why or why not?Sources:12 News.

Include page numbers to demonstrate where you found your answers to these questions.  Part 2.  Analyze an episode of Girls Incarcerated, On My Block (both on Netflix), Euphoria (HBO) or another show or documentary released in the last three years (in or after 2021) related to youth behavior and/or youth social control in terms of lecture and class materials. Be sure to choose something you have not yet shared in this class. Cite the episode fully and/or link us to it.

In this discussion, you should respond to the following prompt. For your final discussion together, you will craft elements of a professional profile you can use in your career-building tool kit. For some of you, this will add to what you already have; for others, this will be a new effort or help launch a second (or third!) career. Wherever you may be on your career journey, building a portfolio is an excellent way to track your progress and demonstrate your skills to potential organizations, employers, stakeholders, and funding bodies. You can also use elements of your professional profile in social media—consider building a page on LinkedIn and other social media outlets based on what you craft in this activity. Look at what others are also using; this is your opportunity to collaborate. Your professional profile will change over time, and you will continue to add to it (and sometimes delete segments) as you spend more time in your career. The portfolio, especially if you house it online in social media or as a Google Doc, should be a collection of evidence showcasing your professional development, volunteer work, and successful ventures relevant to the organization you want to work with and potential funding sources and community members/stakeholders. In this discussion, respond to the following: Write a career summary (one paragraph). If you are still building your career, write a summary of where you hope for your career to go. Based on your core values, write a mission statement for yourself. Include what your career is rooted in, what skills you bring to the work that you do (or hope to do), and what competencies you bring to the career you have (or hope to have). Include a brief biography that highlights elements of who you are that might add to or be interesting to learn about in your portfolio. Add a few relevant, marketable skills. Include an overview of any professional accomplishments you bring to the table. Provide an overview of the professional development activities you can contribute to projects. Include any volunteer experience you have had. Overall, engage critically and avoid an editorial stance. Demonstrate your understanding of the week’s material and include your sources from the course material or elsewhere if you do any outside research.
