Clark Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies, Institution for Social and Policy Studies at Yale, Northern Rockies Conservation Cooperative Murray B. Rutherford Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies, Northern Rockies Conservation Cooperative Kim Ziegelmayer Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies Michael J. Stevenson Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies Most professionals beginning their careers in species and ecosystem conservation conceive of their future work in terms of hands-on tasks in the field (“doing something important in the real world”). Whether on the domestic or the international scene, typically the forester sees themselves laying out timber sales, the fisheries biologist looks forward to surveying streams, and the range specialist expects to be classifying grasslands. Current curricula in most universities largely mirror this common view. We train future foresters to address logging problems in the Pacific Northwest or in the tropics, or conservation biologists to design a reserve or study an endangered species. But in actual practice, most professionals spend only part—and sometimes a small part—of their time attending to technical tasks in the field. Professionals, over a career or a lifetime, participate in many activities well beyond fieldwork, and there is much more to building a successful professional practice today than skills...

...and produce families and discover good jobs. Ultimately, though, as an individual enter into their 60s and beyond, getting older leads to quicker changes in our bodily, cognitive, and social capabilities and desires, and life starts to approach its natural ending, resulting in the last life stage, beginning in the 60s, known as late adulthood. "Social changes affect a person's decision. If they move, for example, to be closer to family, they will need to make new friends in the new environment, to cope with the loss of old friends, and to deal with the changing roles within the family dynamics as one becomes older." ("End-of-Life Decisions and Late Adulthood," 2007). When an individual enters late adulthood, they start to go through various changes in their role and social position in society. At one point in their life, they were young and had a prominent role in the decisions they made for themselves and others. Many elderly people are parents and grandparents and at one point had the role of being the caretaker of their offspring. During this time of their life this position changes, and it is usually their children taking care of them now. They do not have as much power over their life as they used to have and may not have a lot of opportunities to make decisions about their lives. Their social position has gone from the majority to more of the minority, and they have often treated another way because of this. People sometimes respect that they have the knowledge of living...

Discuss the policy and economic questions associated with this proposal. Interest groups do not have the power to pass laws; however, they can and do influence policy decisions. Provide examples and discuss how interest groups have influenced health policy decisions. For example, motorcycle helmet laws – if we know that the use of a safety helmet can protect individuals from severe head and neck injuries in an accident, why do some states not have full helmet laws for all motorcycle riders? Week 2 Discussion Health policy is profoundly influenced by value-driven issues that cut across the entire U.S. policy landscape. Describe both positions (i.e., for and against) a current debate regarding a value-driven health policy issue. What interests in health policy do you bring to this class? McLaughlin’s Table 1-1 specifies the knowledge and skills called for in a policy analyst. Discuss for which of these areas do you currently feel prepared, and in which ones do you want to gain competence? Why? Week 3 Discussion Argue the following statement: Despite our relatively high level of healthcare expenditure, we may still be getting enough for our money. Discuss the social forces and other issues behind the move toward industrialization. Does industrialization threaten professional...

The Internet also has a wealth of information on this topic, and you should use these sources to supplement your assignment if you desire. In the Webliography section of the course (top, far-right tab) is a number of websites that you can use to help you complete this assignment.

There is an expectation that at least some citations and references are used for all assignments. Week 2 Case Study: Social Media Policies, Concerted Activity, and HR Management In the last few years, companies have begun initiating and implementing social media policies for their employees to follow. These policies range from encouraging employees to utilizing social media for marketing purposes, to restricting the use of social media for employees in order to ensure that they do not hurt the company image. As these policies become more widespread, both the Society for Human Resource Management and the NLRB (National Labor Relations Board) have become concerned about the limits on speech and activity that employers are imposing on their workers. Further, in some states, laws are being passed to protect employees and potential employees from being required to disclose social...

...Adult social care is a construct of the law. Its intrinsic elements, including the responsibilities of those who commission and provide care and support, the range of support available and the rights of people who use care and support, are defined by the law that underpins it. Well-crafted legislation makes a fundamental difference to the ease of implementation on the ground and the clarity provided for professionals and the public. 2. Unfortunately, the current legal framework is anything but well-crafted and has been roundly criticised as opaque, complex and anachronistic. Over 60 years, a patchwork of legislation has grown and evolved. There are well over a dozen existing Acts of Parliament and there is much overlap and duplication between the various statutes. In addition to the primary legislation, there is a vast array of regulations, directions, circulars and guidance. The net result is complexity and confusion for those who have to navigate through the law – including social workers, care users and carers. 3. The Law Commission acknowledged this problem and conducted a three-year review into social care legislation. In May 2011, it published its report with 76 recommendations for reform to Government. 3 As part of its review, the Law Commission completed an Impact Assessment and this document draws heavily on their analysis. 4 The Government has published its formal response to the Law Commission alongside the Care and Support White Paper. 4. ...
