...a little difficult, they are individuals with multifaceted perspectives that include psychological, biological, cultural, social, financial, educational, vocational, and spiritual components (Woodside & McClam, p. 131, 2011). Clients can be helped in many different ways, therefore being a diverse Human Service Professional enables you to be an effective helper. There are a range of problems that clients encounter such as addictions, homelessness, and mental illnesses. With these problems will come various different skills the professional can use to effectively help their clients. Below we will talk about a range of problems the client faces and the helping skills that can be used to effectively help the client. Range of Problems Facing Clients When thinking about the client and what problems may occur, we need to look at the whole person not just the problem. Problems for clients are rarely single issues, and the human service professional should approach each client with the expectation of more than one problem (Woodside & McClam, p. 131, 2011). There are different factors to each of these problems which are cultural values of society, developmental needs of the individual, and some clients lack resources or skills, or both to be able to solve problems (Woodside & McClam, p. 163, 2011). These problems can be broken down into stages. First being identifying the problem and discussing it. Next, solutions to the problem are formulated and implemented...

...helping skills to use for each range of problem. The range of problems client's encounter is addiction, homelessness, or mental illness. It is within these ranges of problems the helper must implement a variety of skills to assist the client on how to manage effectively or cope with such issues. When envisioning a client and the problems that can be attributed from the past, the present, and in the future, the helper needs to look at the whole person and not just the problems directly. “Problems for clients are rarely single issues, and the human service professional should approach each client with the expectation of more than one problem. In fact, one problem can cause, influence, or at the very least be related to other difficulties,” (Woodside & McClam, 2011). Range of Problems The range of problems that a client may face can be short-term or long-term. Short-term problems are issues such as being an unemployed or displaced worker, poor living environment, or spousal abuse can be resolved by implementing a plan that will affect each problem by creating a positive outcome. Long-term problems like addiction, homelessness, and mental illness are approached in a methodical way by creating a set of goals. Thes goals are set in such a way that it is not overwhelming to the client, and they are confident these goals are obtainable with the structured time allotted. For some problems like mental illness or addictions there are no simple solutions. These problems require...

...Services In this paper, I will be describing the range of problems facing human services individuals and also discussing the helping skills used with these individuals. Problems can be looked at in many different ways. Thinking about problems is one way to understand the concept of “problems in living.” The problem is described as a situation, event, or condition that is bothersome for the client. (Woodside & McClam, 2012) An important factor to consider when identifying problems and resolving them is how difficult it is to predict how an individual will experience a problem. What must be kept in mind are factors, such as, culture, values of the society and developmental needs of the individual. All of this will influence how problems are defined. The developmental perspective is one way of identifying problems with individuals. This theory looks at problems through the span of an individual’s lifetime. The development begins at the point of conception and ends at the time of death. During the time between these two points, the individual experiences systemic changes. (Woodside & McClam, 2012) Stage theories, such as those proposed by Erik Erikson contend that the development progresses through maturational determined stages. Each stage in Erikson's theory is concerned with becoming competent in the area of life. If the stage is handled well, the person will feel a sense of mastery, which is sometimes referred to as ego strength or ego quality. (Cherry, 2009) If the...

...have some sort of issue or problem but have you ever thought how some problems may affect people. Individuals, groups and communities are facing a wide range of problems and some surely go unnoticed. “Problems for clients are rarely single issues,” (Marianne Woodside, An Introduction to Human Services, 2012) and depending on how many actual problems there are some may go unnoticed. A few of the problems client may face are but definitely not limited to, developmental theory, situational perspective, meeting human needs, both physical and psychological, social change, and environmental influences. Human service professionals are skilled to notice the problems clients are facing and use those problems to set obtainable goals for each client they see. When a client comes in only seeking housing, a qualified helper will recognize the client definitely realizes there are more underline issues. Several underline issues could include the client being unemployed, or maybe the client has children and can’t afford child care. The developmental theory is the process in which humans develop and the stages of life we all will encounter during our life span. Erik H. Erikson major contribution was his “eight stages of man” (Marianne Woodside, Chapter 5: The Client, 2012). Erikson’s eight stages all go hand in hand, if you don’t full experience the stage, it affects you in your later years. Even though we all go through developmental stages, basic trust vs. basic mistrust, autonomy vs. shame, initiative...

...to some degree. Depending on the severity of said problems may result in the need to seek out the assistance of a human service professional. Professionals in this field are qualified problem evaluators that help individual’s asses their issues and implement a positive plan with self-sufficing being the primary goal. Various skills are used as crucial tools to assist human service professionals in determining a client's problems, which are described as; developmental, situational, hierarchical needs, societal change, and environmental influences. The developmental perspective proves that individuals go through the same stages in life, but during these stages they may experience different levels of problems (Woodside, McClam, 2001). This perspective outlines the basic stages in life are influenced by developments we will experience. According to Erikson, there are eight distinct developmental stages, beginning at conception and ending when we pass on (Woodside, McClam, 2001). In this theory, each stage builds upon the successful completion of earlier stages. For example, trust is learned and reinforced in the infancy stage. If a baby is abandoned and mistreated during this time period, it is very likely they will experience distrust and a lack of connection towards others. Problems that can develop in this perspective are identity confusion in teens, inability to form healthy relationships as a young adult and the inability to be productive in your adult years. Using this...

...trends that will influence the future needs in the delivery of human services. Economic Events “As human services changes, there may be both negative and positive reactions. It is possible that services will become more streamlined yet less available, and the cost containment will save money but become an overriding factor in limiting treatment and other services.” (Woodside & McClam, 2011, p. 91). Job loss and unemployment, can affect a client’s ability to provide basic care for themselves or their family. The client’s self-esteem, self-confidence and overall mental health can be affected causing a “domino effect” of other problems and difficulties causing the client to slip permanently into poverty, even as economic conditions improve, and seek out social services to relieve some of their financial hardship. Food assistance programs, low rental housing and job training are a few of the services that can be provided by the human service professional to ease some these financial burdens. As baby boomers age, the number of seniors will increase causing economic changes in the population. Poor physical and mental health, housing, employment and environmental adjustments are a few of the needs that human service workers will have to attend to. Because of these concerns, human service professionals will play a major part in helping the elderly struggle with the problems of the aging process. Illegal immigration is another economic event that greatly affects the services...

...identified in five ways and they are; developmental and situational problems, hierarchical needs, needs created by societal change, and environmental influences. Different skills are used when working with clients to properly assist them so that problems in living are resolved. Problems usually indicate something exists that is causing the client to experience trouble or discomfort (Woodside, 2011). Human service professional must identify these problems that can range from inadequate housing, unemployment, to mental illnesses. Once they identify the problem, they find a solution to the problems so that clients are able to take care of themselves. The developmental process or problems are stages clients experience throughout life. Developmental theorist “suggest that human development is a continuous process and that there are certain phases and stages that individuals experience during a life span (Trotter & Swartwod, 2007). During a life span developmental problems that clients have come from different situations in the home, family, community, culture, country, and sociopolitical climate. Clients experience each stage differently in their life and it could have a trickle down affect when it comes to dealing with problems in their life. The developmental process allows human services to get to the root of the problem. It helps find out what factors in life led to these problems. Next you have situational problems which are sometimes unpreventable. Situational problems arise...

...understand what exactly can help the client and what helping skills can be utilized. In this paper, I will discuss the range of problems facing these clients and what helping skills can be used by the helper in order to help the client. When problems exist that causes a client to experience trouble or discomfort it is essential that human service professionals are able to identify those problems and provide a course of action to resolve those problems. Problems can be described as a situation, event, or condition that is troublesome for the client. There are five ways to think about a client’s situation in terms of problem identification, developmental and situational problems, hierarchical needs, needs created by societal change and environmental influences. The developmental perspective theorizes that individuals engage in certain tasks or activities at different points in their lives. These developmental stages occur from the day an individual is conceived until the day of their death. It is based on a study by Erik H. Erikson and breaks down an individual’s life into eight stages. The problems that occur within these stages of life of an individual dictate how well they meet a later stage. For instance, as an infant, he or she learns trust within his or her environment. The infant depends on the caretaker to meet his or her needs and a special bond is developed. Care and warmth is shown during this stage between...

Also what has been the most important lessons I have learned during my career. In all areas of the human services, there is a center point for helping others to find safety, health and success within their own lives. Remember the work is vital and valid, which is often inspirational enough. Careers in this field are, ideal because the job requirements revolve around the development of personal and professional relationships with clients, whether children, adults, or elderly. However, working in human services does provide specialize training through schooling or on-the-job- to help the professional.

In 2006, global government and capital expenditure exceeded US$1,480 billion making destination branding an important concept that still remains fragmented and unplanned. Dubai, an emirate of the UAE in the Middle East has been chosen as a case study to explain some elements of successful destination branding. This paper aims to apply a framework developed by Balakrishnan to explain areas of caution when competing in an international market where success is also partially dependent on the macro-environment. Design/methodology/approach – The framework was developed by reviewing literature on destination, place, corporate, product portfolio and service branding. The framework was tested using case study methodology. Secondary research was primarily used to develop the case. Findings – There is a strong fit with the model suggesting that destinations can use this as a basis for continuity in strategy even as governments change. Based on the analysis and review; a checklist for destination branding strategy was recommended. Research limitations/implications – Since, this study depends...

...Eating disorders are becoming increasingly common in today’s society and the causes of theses disorders are not completely known. This essay explores the symptoms of anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa, the risks and consequences of suffering from such disorders. The essay also concentrates upon how eating disorders are gradually affecting more and more men and children – something that was not often seen before. The main focus of this project is to discover whether the causes of anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa stem from pre-dispositions which are linked with the body and mind or rather stemmed from society. The main biological reasons which the essay focuses on are; damaged hypothalamuses and genetic hereditariness. The main environmental causes of anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa that I have studied are media influences and undesirable conditions for raising children. In writing this project I believe that I have developed valuable skills that I will need in my subjects which include; being able to extract key information from large pieces of text, researching, speedy note taking and the ability to weigh up two sides of an argument fairly and without bias. I am also aware that the skills I am developing while writing this dissertation such as analytical and evaluation skills will be invaluable in the subjects I am studying; English literature, History and Sociology and also when I reach University.

Illustrate the concept of a business transaction with five examples relating to a mobile phone distributor. A business transaction can be defined as external exchanges of resources between the entity and another entity or individual that affects the assets, liabilities and owners’ equity items in an entity. The accounting process is the identifying, measuring and communicating of economic information about an entity to a variety of users for decision-making purposes. The first component of the process is the identification of business transactions which are then measured and communicated to the different users of financial reports. Business transactions for a mobile phone distributor include the following: 1. The contribution of capital by the owner to commence the business. This transaction would increase cash (asset) and increase capital (equity). 2. The purchase of inventory (mobile phones) on credit. This transaction would increase inventory (asset) and increase creditor (liability). 3. The payment of office rent. This transaction would decrease cash (asset) and decrease...

That is important for understanding of the practical applications of marketing is achieved by applying theory to them. It is determined that Mini’s marketing strategy has shifted in terms of targeting and brand positioning. As previously it was an affordable iconic British car, now it has become a cool luxury car dominantly for a young segment. Its international marketing strategy is differentiated in a way that a brand is built up on the historical iconic image of Mini for the UK and associated market, but it is not associated with any values in the past for the US customers. Overall, Mini’s marketing strategy is considered to be innovative, creative, and sometimes ‘silly’, which is of great value for its young energetic target audience. Digital marketing initiative also corresponds to the latest IT and social trends worldwide by ‘digitalising’ marketing initiatives and active social networking with the consumers. Brand is a core competence and ‘everything’ for Mini. Marketing is centered on its brand, not vice versa. An analysis of the Mini’s strategy...

January 21, 2014 Preface The advent of Information and communication technology (ICT) has had a paramount impact on tourism. The effects of this revolution continue to change the nature of contemporary tourism on a day-to-day base. The globalization of information, open innovation, better access, collaboration in a generation of information and technological convergence, have all contributed to the design of a new scientific paradigm. Thanks to our passion for research and to the continuous advancements in the technological ecosystem as well as the possibility of better understanding human activity and behavior we are on the threshold of a new era of the social science of tourism. This new social and technological paradigm affects tourism and human mobility in a way that gives the research process unheard-of possibilities. The current level of technological development allows for the construction of objects that are smaller, more intelligent and embedded in the environment and even wearable. These objects, which record and learn our habits are connected to the Internet and they have computing capabilities. They can also be interconnected and generate large quantities of information to benefit the environment in which they are located as well as the travellers that possess...
