  • Documentary Analysis: “They Call Us Monsters”

    Documentary Summary
    Juan, Jarad and Antonio, all between 14 and 16, face decades in prison. To pass the time, they sign up for a screenwriting class and collaborate on a short film about their lives, including Juan’s unrequited love for his childhood friend, Abigail. Halfway through the class, Antonio returns to juvenile court and gets released with time served. Back home, he struggles to avoid the same patterns that first got him locked up. Meanwhile, the realities of Jarad and Juan’s crimes set in. One of Jarad’s victims is only 17 herself and will be confined to a wheelchair for life. Juan faces deportation once eventually released, separating him from his family, including his baby son. While the gravity of their crimes haunts every frame, these young men are still simply teenagers. Do they deserve a second chance? The question is a societal conundrum beyond legislation and data. To their advocates, they’re kids. To their critics, they’re monsters.

  • “The Evolution of a Superpower: Factors that Shaped the United States into a Nation of the People”

    Over the course of this wonderful semester, we have traced how a tiny offshoot of European colonial expansion evolved into a superpower post World War 2 founded on the proposition that government is of the people, by the people and for the people.  Analyze how at least 4 factors such as philosophical movements, democratic government, revolution, nationalism, timely leadership, labor (slavery and indentured servitude, industrial working class) war, imperialism (domestic and foreign), and progressive legislation brought about the United States.
    You are not limited to the factors listed above for your paper. Nor do you have to write about every single one. It maybe your argument that republican virtue or gender played a significant role.
    For example, if you are looking at timely leadership you may write about Martin Luther King jr., Abraham Lincoln, Susan B. Anthony, Eleanor Roosevelt, etc. The same for progressive legislation such as the Constitution, the Reconstruction amendments, women’s suffrage, the New Deal, etc.
    Paper must be 3-4 pages. 12-point font. Paper must have a TITLE (do not title paper- Final Paper) and a citations page with at least 4 quotes from the textbook. I recommend using the textbook for most of your quotes.

  • “From Immigrant Upbringing to Dental Dreams: My Personal Statement for Dental Schools”

    I need a personal statement written for dental schools from my persepctive. Here are some things that I want included in my personal statement. 
    -Upbringing: My parents were immigrants who worked several hours through the day. My dad was a gas station cashier and my mom was a salesperson in the mall. I started taking care of my sister alone at home at the age of 10 while my parents worked countless hours to provide for us. 
    -Why I chose the healthcare field: As an immigrant household, our parents always pushed us towards excelling in our education and I found the love of science as a young child. I always wanted to join the medical field, however due to lack of clinicals and procedure work, I chose to choose the dental route. 
    -Why I specifically chose the dental field: When I was in middle school, I got called “Bugs Bunny” alot and it affected my self-esteem and made me insecure about my smile. My nickname was bugs bunny because my front two teeth were large and they were very protruding. So much that my teeth would show when my mouth would be closed. After getting braces, my teeth were corrected but the name still stuck however I was no longer insecure because my teeth were normal. 
    I also chose the dental field because I have always enjoyed doing activites with my hands. I tend to get bored very easily, however when I do things with my hands I genuinely enjoy the hobbies such as video games, playing sports, etc. I knew from this that I wanted to pursue something that would allow me to do procedures throughout my day instead of strictly clinicals.

  • “Culturally Responsive Evaluation and Treatment Planning: Enhancing Client Engagement and Well-being” “Enhancing Client Engagement and Treatment Outcomes through Culturally Responsive Evaluation and Treatment Planning”

    Welcome to our discussion on Culturally Responsive Evaluation and Treatment Planning. In this discussion, we will explore how the following 9-steps can help professionals in the field to provide comprehensive and culturally sensitive care to their clients. By incorporating cultural factors throughout the evaluation and treatment planning process, we can enhance client engagement, improve treatment outcomes, and promote holistic well-being.
    Step 1: Engage Clients The first step of Culturally Responsive Evaluation and Treatment Planning is to engage clients actively. By building a trusting and respectful relationship, professionals can create a safe space for clients to share their experiences, concerns, and goals. During this step, professionals should strive to establish cultural rapport, acknowledging and valuing the diverse backgrounds and identities of their clients.
    Step 2: Familiarize Clients and Their Families With Treatment and Evaluation Processes Culturally Responsive Evaluation and Treatment Planning requires transparent communication and collaboration. In this step, professionals should provide clear explanations of the evaluation and treatment processes, ensuring that clients and their families understand the objectives, methods, and expected outcomes. By involving clients and their families as informed participants, we can promote active engagement and shared decision-making.
    Step 3: Endorse Collaboration in Interviews, Assessments, and Treatment Planning Collaboration is a key component of culturally responsive care. Step 3 emphasizes the importance of involving clients and their families in interviews, assessments, and treatment planning. By seeking their input and considering their perspectives, professionals can gain valuable insights and co-create effective treatment plans that align with clients’ cultural values, beliefs, and preferences.
    Step 4: Integrate Culturally Relevant Information and Themes Culture plays a vital role in shaping individuals’ experiences and understanding of health and well-being. In this step, professionals should actively seek culturally relevant information and integrate it into the evaluation and treatment planning processes. By considering cultural norms, traditions, and customs, we can ensure that interventions are sensitive and appropriate to clients’ cultural contexts.
    Step 5: Gather Culturally Relevant Collateral Information To gain a comprehensive understanding of clients’ needs, it is essential to gather collateral information from culturally relevant sources. Step 5 emphasizes the importance of seeking input from family members, community leaders, and other stakeholders who possess cultural knowledge and insights. By broadening our understanding of clients’ contexts, we can develop more accurate and culturally appropriate treatment plans.
    Step 6: Select Culturally Appropriate Screening and Assessment Tools In step 6, professionals are encouraged to utilize culturally appropriate screening and assessment tools. These tools should be sensitive to cultural nuances, ensuring that the evaluation process accurately captures clients’ experiences and needs. By selecting tools that align with clients’ cultural backgrounds, we can enhance the validity and reliability of the evaluation process.
    Step 7: Determine Readiness and Motivation for Change Understanding clients’ readiness and motivation for change is crucial in developing effective treatment plans. Step 7 emphasizes the importance of culturally sensitive approaches to assess clients’ willingness to engage in treatment and make positive changes. By recognizing and addressing cultural factors that may influence clients’ readiness, professionals can tailor interventions to meet clients’ unique needs.
    Step 8: Provide Culturally Responsive Case Management Step 8 highlights the significance of culturally responsive case management. Professionals should adopt an individualized approach that respects clients’ cultural practices, values, and preferences when coordinating care and connecting clients to appropriate resources. By engaging in collaborative case management, professionals can support clients in navigating systems and services while considering cultural factors.
    Step 9: Incorporate Cultural Factors Into Treatment Planning The final step of Culturally Responsive Evaluation and Treatment Planning emphasizes the integration of cultural factors into the development of treatment plans. By incorporating clients’ cultural values, strengths, and resources, professionals can tailor interventions that are culturally congruent and promote positive outcomes. This step reinforces the importance of ongoing cultural responsiveness throughout the treatment process.
    Conclusion: Incorporating the nine steps of Culturally Responsive Evaluation and Treatment Planning into our practice can greatly enhance the quality of care we provide to our clients. By engaging clients, integrating cultural factors, and involving them in the treatment planning process, we can foster a therapeutic alliance that respects their unique identities and cultural backgrounds. Let us continue to promote culturally responsive approaches to evaluation and treatment planning to improve client engagement, well-being, and treatment outcomes.
