1. Case study – A parent of a middle-school aged child (11-14) has contacted you seeking disciplinary strategies to address student performance and behavior. Information the parent has provided to you includes the following: their child has been disrupting classroom environment, not doing homework, and has recently been performing below ability. Regarding the child’s family environment, the parents have recently separated and a grandparent is providing some childcare. You are to approach this assignment in the role of mental health or school counselor, depending on your professional aspiration.
2. Identify yourself in terms of culture/ethnicity, gender, ability status, or other areas you find most relevant. How does your background influence your theoretical approach to the counseling process? This may include both effective and ineffective influences. What biases and values, areas of privilege, and areas of oppression do you bring to the counseling setting? (approximately 1-2 pages)
3. Superimpose on the case study two distinct culture and/or diversity “statuses.” Choose from the categories identified in chapters 14-26 of Counseling the Culturally Diverse: Theory and Practice by Sue and Sue. (Approximately 3-5 pages total for this section). These statues include:

Text Part IV (Chapters 14-18)

African Americans – Chapter 14

American Indians/Native Americans and Alaska Natives – Chapter 15

Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders – Chapter 16

Latino/as – Chapter 17

Multiracial Individuals – Chapter 18

Text Part VII (Chapters 19-21)

Arab Americans and Muslim Americans – Chapter 19

Immigrants and Refugees – Chapter 20

Jewish Americans – Chapter 21

Text Part VIII (Chapters 22-26)

Individuals with Disabilities – Chapter 22

LGBT Individuals – Chapter 23

Older Adults – Chapter 24

Individuals Living in Poverty – Chapter 25

Women – Chapter 26

1. Identify three key issues that are relevant for each of the two cultural/status groups you are investigating (e.g., strengths, challenges and implications for practice).
2. Cite at least two relevant empirical articles from peer reviewed counseling journals (in addition to the text) for each cultural/status group that illuminate the case study themes. Be sure to include a separate reference list.
3. For each case based on the cultural/status groups, identify two potential areas of focus in the counseling setting (clinical or school). Indicate the distinctions among the cultural groups you have chosen.

4. As the result of this assessment of your own background and of the three students/clients’ backgrounds, analyze the presenting problems and counseling strategies that you would consider implementing as you work with the individual and family in each of the case studies you created. (approximately 2-3 pages for this section) (Total pages for this assignment have ranged from 6 to 10 pages excluding references).

Dimensions, Positives, and Negatives of Food Borne Illnesses

The environment plays a central role in the health of the general populace, especially due to the fact that a large number of individuals are exposed to it at any one time. One of the ways in which the environment continues too impact human health is through food borne illnesses. These are illnesses that are transmitted through food, and which are caused by pathogens found in the environment the food is prepared in, or the environment in which the animals and plants live (Henry, 2012). As such, food borne illnesses continue to pose serious threats to the health of the society, and they must be addressed and dealt with in an efficient and effective way.

While food borne illnesses are dangerous and at times fatal, one must also understand that these illnesses affect the society from a broad perspective, and in a way that is centered around some social and environmental factors. Currently, the possibility of food borne illnesses going untreated exposes a fair portion of the population to the possibility of suffering from food borne illnesses, and especially so where important health promotion behaviors such as observing hygiene are neglected. This is one of the most detrimental negative health effects caused by food borne illnesses (Choffnes, 2011). However, it must also be acknowledged that food borne illnesses are also of great benefit to the promotion and development of health and the health sector respectively. In terms of health, outbreaks of food borne illnesses provide researchers and health experts with the opportunity to collect valuable and first hand data that would prove essential towards improving their understanding of the illnesses in question. Seeing as food borne illnesses are specific and often rare in occurrence, these outbreaks are essential to understanding food borne illnesses, as well as developing the health care system in a way that ensures it is prepared for future outbreaks (Choffnes, 2011). By contributing towards the development of healthcare and medicine, food borne illnesses are both negative and positive insofar as their influence on the society is concerned.

Food borne illnesses are also known to have significant impact on the psychological health of individuals. In many cases, individuals suffering from food borne illnesses are known to report having been infected through avenues that they are familiar with.  According to Doyle et al. (2015), this infection has been shown to actually result in a breach of trust from the patient, seeing as they are often infected through familiar surroundings. This could also cause undue stress on the individual, so much so that they could develop a mistrust and fear for situations that could result in a recurrence of the illness (Acheson, McEntire, & Thorpe, 2013). Additionally, it is worth acknowledging that food borne illnesses could be influenced by socioeconomic, cultural, and political factors. For instance, low socioeconomic status could possibly infer poor living standards, which could in turn result in poor hygiene and a low observation of health and health promotional behaviors (Henry, 2012). In such cases, being exposed to contaminated food becomes more likely, which thus increases the possibility of suffering from said illnesses.

The same case can be said of cultural factors. In some cultures, there may be a tendency for individuals to either observe low hygiene practices or to mix a variety of foods in their cuisines. The mixing of foods is particularly a leading cause of food borne infections, seeing as contaminated food containing pathogens can easily contaminate the rest of the food, which could potentially result in the multiplication of harmful bacteria that might further contaminate the food in question (Acheson et al., 2013). Like many other health issues, food borne illnesses also have a political component. The negligence of health issues that could possibly cause outbreaks of food borne illnesses by politicians and public officials could result in the hospitalization and possible death of many victims of said illnesses. As such, it is vital to ensure that the above dimensions are addressed to minimize the possibility of said factors resulting in outbreaks of food borne illnesses.

Food Borne Illnesses and Chronic Diseases

            The true scope of the effects of food borne illnesses can be understood by delving into the relationship between food borne illnesses and chronic diseases. This becomes a critical discussion point for this issue, seeing as some food borne illnesses are known to cause chronic diseases. This is based on the variable nature of the bacteria that cause various food borne illnesses (Doyle et al., 2015). In this way, the onset of food borne illnesses could very well be the onset of chronic illnesses that individuals have to struggle with for long periods of time. This is especially the case with illnesses that are known to relapse or remit. Some common examples of these illnesses include Intestinal Cryptosporidiosis, Cyclosporiasis, Listeriosis, and Hepatitis (Choffnes, 2011). All these diseases are food borne, and they also share the commonality of being known to relapse. While these illnesses are known as remitting in nature, the environment to which individuals are exposed may also contribute to the longevity and chronic nature of such illnesses (Henry, 2012). The possibility of suffering from a mix of various diseases has been cited as one of the most dangerous health situations than an individual can be subjected to.

Measurement of the Impact of Food Borne Illnesses on Health and Health Promotion

            In order to fully understand the impact that food borne infections have on health and health promotion in the society, relevant data must be collected (Doyle et al., 2015). In such a case, it would be essential to first identify the common factors that surround outbreaks of food borne illnesses such as presence of contaminants, poor hygiene practices, and inadequate health amenities. By analyzing these factors and their relationship to food borne illnesses, the impact of said food borne illnesses can be assessed.
Secondly, collecting data on the number of victims in such regions will prove vital to understanding food borne illnesses (Choffnes, 2011). Additionally, it will prove vital to establishing linkages, if any, between victims of food borne illnesses. By assessing the victims for common factors such as socioeconomic class, areas of residence, cultural practices, and political affiliations, this measurement approach is bound to provide a holistic perspective on food borne illnesses (Doyle et al., 2015) and the impact that they have on health and health promotion within the society.

Outcomes and Evaluations

            First, I would like to see a decrease in the amount of food borne illness cases. This outcome can be measured through collecting data on food borne illness patients from health facilities in the region. A decrease in this number would indicate the presence of successful interventions.

Secondly, I would like to see improved health conditions within the most vulnerable environments that bear a risk of causing food borne illnesses. This outcome can be measured easily through environmental assessments of these environments and areas, to ensure that the likelihood of said environments causing food borne illnesses are decreased.

Lastly, I would like to see an improved application of health principles and health promotion behaviors in the at-risk populations, to ensure that they take appropriate measures to limit the occurrence of said illnesses. One such behavior would be observing hygiene during food handling and preparation. This outcome would prove more difficult to measure compared to the previous ones, but it could be measured through conducting surveys to assess the awareness of at-risk populations on food borne illnesses, and how they can prevent them in their societies.

In financial terms, Exchange Rates (ER) refer to the worth of two different currencies in regards to each other (Sullivan & Sheffrin, 2003), whereas the Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) refers to the net inflows of foreign investments. This is so if the investment is to acquire a lasting interest in terms of management where the enterprise that is operating in the specific economy in question is a different entity from the investor (Soltani, 2009).
In recent years there has been an increased understanding as to the forces of the concept and usage of economic globalization. This can only be implemented by the utilization of foreign direct investment by the multinational corporations. This is realized where and when a firm forms its base in one country but locates and or acquires its facilities for production in another country or countries. The realization of this could not have been at a greater time than now when there are conclusive reports that between 1986 through 1999, the GDP of the real world grew by at a rate of 2.5 percent annually whereas its export grew by 17.7 percent.
