Then provide statistics regarding your topic on a national (macro), state (mezzo), and local area (micro). Explain how this topic is important to child welfare research (for example, perhaps there are cultural variations, or it shows how there needs to be a system reform).

The purpose of this assignment is to identify key stakeholders within your organization (my organization is in the attached files labeled in parenthesis as info for assignment) who are affected by, have influence over, or have an interest in solving the problem you are attempting to address with your action research project.
Stakeholder analysis requires you to examine a number of variables in relation to each individual or group you have identified. Use the “Stakeholder Brainstorming” resource provided as a tool to assist you in completing the “Stakeholder Analysis” Excel spreadsheet.
In the analysis, list titles and groups of stakeholders. Do not list names of specific individuals. It is important to note the role each stakeholder has in the problem and in solving the problem. Determine whether or not the individual or group has a negative, indifferent, positive, or very positive predisposition about the problem.
Within the “Stakeholder Analysis” spreadsheet, there is a tab labeled “Current-State Matrix.” Study the terminology related to influence and support and think about how each block describes the feelings a stakeholder may have about the problem and proposed solution. For example, there may be a group or individual that has a high degree of support with regard to solving the problem. If you know such person or group also has a high level of influence in how the problem is solved, it is important to think about how you will approach this person or group in terms of seeking information and presenting potential solutions. Taking time to rank the level of influence and support for each stakeholder is critical as you proceed, because it may have a large role in determining whether or not specific problem solutions can be implemented.
Take the time necessary to conduct research that will help you determine possible stakeholder reactions and issues related to potential solutions. Think about the motivation, drivers, and expectations of exchange for each stakeholder, the problem, and the proposed solutions. Finally, consider the role of the stakeholder, including when the stakeholder needs to be involved in the change effort, any stakeholder management activities, and stakeholder deliverables and timelines. If a stakeholder will ultimately end up having a designated role in implementing the solution, the ability to articulate the role, scope, and timeframe will be of utmost importance.
Complete the “Stakeholder Analysis” spreadsheet and submit it to the instructor along with a 500-word summary of your findings. In the summary, discuss the following:
Summarize stakeholder attitudes about the identified problem and support your summary with specific data from your collection tool.
Summarize stakeholder attitudes or experiences related to previously implemented problem solutions and support your summary with specific data from your collection tool.
Summarize stakeholder ideas for potential solutions and support your summary with specific data from your collection tool.
Who are the stakeholders you will seek to act as sponsors to support you in the implementation of a problem solution? Provide specific reasons why these stakeholders are key to implementing a solution.
Who are the stakeholders that will likely be directly affected by solving the problem? Provide specific ways these stakeholders could be directly affected by solving the problem.
Who are the stakeholders who could pose potential roadblocks to solving the problem? Provide specific reasons why these stakeholders could pose potential roadblocks and what those roadblocks could be.
This summary will be used as part of the Business Proposal Presentation in Topic 7, and within the Final Business Proposal in Topic 8. Evidence of revision from instructor feedback will be assessed on the final business proposal.
APA style is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.
This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

Describe what options for control are available to you when making contact with a person who is suspected of committing a crime? How might these change depending on the circumstances?

2.When is deadly force authorized for police officers? In this scenario, do you think deadly force would have been authorized if the suspect was wielding a knife at a distance of thirty (30) feet as opposed to only a few feet? Explain your answer.

5.The central issues in Getting Tough: Crime and Punishment revolve around the pressures—both internal and external to the criminal justice system—that shape the sentencing process. Explain your choices in this scenario by addressing the following questions:
What are the benefits and drawbacks of giving judges wide discretion to determine the sentence of individual offenders? Do you think that judicial authority in this area should be limited by legislative measures such as mandatory minimum sentencing laws? Why or why not?

6.Consider the possible punishments for Nick, as described in this scenario: twenty years in prison or five years of probation. Which of the four main sentencing philosophies—retribution, deterrence, incapacitation, and rehabilitation—support the twenty-year prison term?

7 .The central issues in Community-Based Corrections revolve around the question of whether a probationer or parolee should be returned to prison for committing a technical violation. Explain your choices in this scenario by addressing the following questions:
Suppose State A passed a law mandating that nonviolent drug-related crimes could only be punished by probation, with the length of the probationary term reflecting the relative seriousness of the crime. What would be the benefits of this law? What would be the obvious drawbacks?

8.In this scenario, in the role of either a probation officer or a parole board member, you were given the choice of either allowing a low-level offender to continue serving his sentence in the community or making it likely he would be sent to prison for a technical violation. What choice did you make? Why? Which, if any, of the justifications for community corrections—reintegration, diversion, or cost cutting—do you think applies to Lawrence or Terrance’s situation?

Linguistic Anthropology in the Film “Arrival”.
For this project, you will watch the 2016 film Arrival and read the two assigned articles for the week. I highly recommend that you read through the two articles and complete the annotation before watching the film and then return to the readings as you complete your analysis. The film will make direct reference to the assigned readings in the plot! Once you have completed that background work, you will write a 3-4 page (double spaced, 12 point font) response to the following:

1) What did you think about the film Arrival in relation relationship between language, language learning, and conceptions of reality? 2) Using quotes from the two assigned texts, discuss how the film uses the work of Benjamin Whorf and connects with Dorothy Lee’s article on experiences of time. 3) There are a lot of reviews and discussions of this film online from linguists and anthropologists. Do a search for these sources and make note of some of the debates about the film particularly in relation to linguistic determinism. 4) Do you think the film uses a relativistic or deterministic approach with regard to language and thought? 5) Do you have any opinion about how the concepts of language and time are used in the film’s plot as related to the debates you discovered in your search? Be sure to provide citations/links for your sources.
