Social Work Self-Evaluation Example

Social Work Self-Evaluation Example The case was referred to the school social worker by the F.1 class teacher and the teacher reported to the worker that she had noticed her student named Judy had avoided joining group activities and she was feared about bulling and she would cry suddenly in the class sometimes. After exploration, the following presenting problems are observed: Constantly bullied by classmates Avoid joining group activities Fear about bullying and cry suddenly in the class Aim of the assessment The aim of the assessment is: To gather the basic information of the client about personal, family, school and social network To study the underlying factors contributing to the presenting problems and To find out the facts those trigger the problems so that an intervention plan could be set up to help the client. Brief Social History The worker had conducted four personal interviews and based on the interview sessions conducted with the client, the following information is gathered. Genogram/family background and relationship The parents of Judy were divorced since she was in primary school and thus she was brought up in a single parent family. Judys father lives in Mainland China and he does not contact with the family. The three family members: Madam Wong, Andy and Judy live together. The mother: Madam Wong, 44 years old, works as a cleaner and she is the only bread winner of the family. Andy Cheung: elder brother of Judy is 15 years old attending F.2 at a different school from Judy. Emotional condition The client was observed to be upset with the situation she is being bullied. Moreover, she did not want to disclose much about her problems and she was not convinced that others could understand and help her. She also felt that she is not as capable as her brother in doing not very well with her school lessons. Living condition The client lives together with her mother and elder brother at a public housing flat. Financial condition The mother, Madam Wong is the main bread winner of the family and the monthly income was unobserved. History of violence/abuse There is not serious case of violence according to the workers observation. However, the worker had studied that the client had been constantly bullied by her classmates at school. She was hit and her belongings were destroyed sometimes. Supportive network The client had some friends at the previous school she attended but she does not have any friends at the current school. The client told the worker that although she reported to the teacher about the issue, those who bullied her did not stop bullying and she does not think it is a good idea to report the teacher. Moreover, she does not want to tell her mother about her problems and feelings since she does not want to bother her. It seems that the mother alone would be her supportive network since she mentioned during the interview that her mother would listen to her if she discloses her feelings. Coping strengths The worker assessed that she does not know how to cope with the problem except crying and according to the client, reporting to the teacher did not work. Case conceptualization Core issues referred by the school teacher a) Avoid joining group activities in the class b) Cry suddenly in the class sometimes c) Constantly bullied, belongings are destroyed and hit by classmates Workers perception of the core issues The worker identified based on the personal interviews conducted that a) The client lacks self confidence and self esteem Since she stated that she was not doing well at school and she is not as clever as her brother. b) The belief of the client that there is nobody who cares and understand her The client mentioned that talking with other people (eg. Teacher and family) would help and they would not listen to her nor understand her. According to cognitive theorists, most social and behavioral dysfunction is derived from misconceptions that people hold about themselves, other people and situations (Hepworth, 2006). In this case, the self-defeating belief of the client that she is not as capable as others and that there is no one who can help/understand her had led her to emotional and behavioral consequences that block her to be a confident and capable girl. Analysis of the problem The worker analyses the case by applying the Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT), using the ABC model which was created by Albert Allis (Corey, 2005). A (activating event) B (belief) C (emotional and behavioral consequences) D (disputing intervention) E (effect) F (new feelings) In this case, the worker conceptualized that the irrational beliefs of the client that she is bullied and maltreated because there is no one who understands her and that she is incapable triggered her to be depressed and to be away from the social environment at school. The worker strongly believes that once the client can detect what her irrational beliefs are, the client could be helped with the disputing interventions to debate her dysfunctional beliefs by herself to solve the problem and to be a confident girl. Strengths and opportunities The worker had identified the following strengths and opportunities of the client during the interview sessions: Strengths: Good friends (social life) at primary school. This implies that she does not lack socialization skills Helping her mother with household chores. It means she is a considerate daughter and she has a strong affection to her mother. Opportunities: The class teacher is concerned about the problem. She is also willing to help the client with the problem. Her mother would listen to her if she discloses her problems and feelings to her. Intervention plan The goal of the intervention plan is to help the client: a) To identify the irrational belief b) To debate then discriminate these irrational beliefs by herself c) To help the client to build self confidence and self esteem d) To help the client socialize and participate in school activities Immediate plan Ask the client to do assignment so that she can identify and cope with her irrational beliefs Assignment such as Feeling List would be given so as to make the client aware of her own emotional condition and the progress (Sheafor Horejsi, 2006). Encourage the client to build up self confidence and self esteem by assigning her to identify the specific conditions and circumstances under which she feels positive and worth about herself (Sheafor Horejsi, 2006). Promote the clients resilience by helping her to discover her own strengths to overcome all the hardships (Egan, 2007). Discuss with the teacher how to provide psychosocial support to the client Long term plan To set up a good social support for the client: to engage the school environment, family members in the helping process (Egan, 2007). Discuss with the class teacher for organizing classroom activities where the client would be able to actively participate and appreciate her own strengths. Recommendations for follow up To have another case session to set up an agreed intervention plan with the client and to encourage the client do the assignments. Assessment on the school environment regarding the bulling issues might help Discussion with the family and the school to engage in the helping process Part II Self Evaluation The worker had applied different types of communication and helping skills during the interview session with the client. The skills used and the effectiveness: Warm greeting before starting the interview Engaging with the client/rapport building It is a way to let the client feel comfortable with the interview session. The client was more willing to talk freely after engaging with some general conversation at the beginning of the session. Asking the understanding of the client about being referred by the class teacher Confirmation of whether the client is willing to talk to the worker Asking expectation of the client and inform about the interview session Explaining the main purpose of the interview that she would be helped through the process It helped the client see clearly what the worker will be doing with her so that she can feel free to talk to the about her problems. Express understanding towards the clients through basic attending skills such as faced the client squarely, adopted the open posture, leaned towards the client, maintained good eye contact and relaxed while interacting with the client. In these ways of basic attending skills, I expressed empathetic attending, understanding and willingness to help. It helped the client to be willing in expressing her feelings and problems. Using verbal and non-verbal attending skills such as eye contact with the client, facial expression, and minimal encouragers. It encouraged the client to be more willing to talk. It also showed that I was listening to the client carefully. I used follow up questions like open-ended questions to confirm what the client had said so that there would not be any misunderstandings. Clarifying and verifying what the client had told the worker I clarified/verified what the client had told me by using phrases like it appears to me that and questions like oh you want to is that what are saying? It helped to discriminate the misunderstanding and confusion that can occur if I did not clarify or verify what the client had told and if I interpret in my own perception. Paraphrasing and Summarizing It was effective in a sense that I could express my understanding about the client and that I had been listening carefully and finding a way to help the client. Using of open questions and miracle question I used open questions to explore what the client had said for better understanding. Moreover, I also asked the clients perception on problem solving by asking What do you think you can do to stop the bully? Although it did not help the client solve the problem completely, it helped the client think about what she could do to cope with the problem. I also used the questions to explore the clients wants and goals by asking How do you want your classmates to treat you? What kind of situation do you want? and What if ? By asking these questions, the client voiced out what she wants and what she wants to be like which can result in goal setting. Strengths and weaknesses in the intervention During the intervention process, I evaluate the strengths of mine that I had a pretty good engagement with the client applying basic communication and helping skills. The use of appropriate questioning and clarifying worked to identify the problem and in detecting what the client wants and needs. As weaknesses, I needed to improve more on rapport building to gain the trust of the client. More practice on follow up questions and leading questions so as to make the client more articulating to disclose her problems. In reflecting my learning, this practice session helped me a lot to build up my skills needed in social work practice. Moreover, I have learned a lot about the effectiveness of the skills and what more could have been done to boost up my skills to be a good professional. The class discussion and feedback from the classmates made me see myself clearly about the strengths and rooms for improvement.

Reading Response to the Road

Title: The Road Author: Cormac McCarthy Text Type: Fictional Novel Date of response: 6th of February 2012 SUMMARY: The Road by Cormac McCarthy is a novel about two people, a father and son, living in a post-apocalyptic North America. Their belongings are a cart, with scavenged food and tools inside, their clothes, and each other. Together they struggle to survive in this world, where many of the trees are gone, where the air, ground and all things are saturated with ash. Production of goods and foods has long since ceased. Survivors of the apocalypse must get by on canned goods and must ? d ways to survive the harsh, frozen nights. But those canned goods become scarce and the humanity of many of those who survive is no longer existent when faced with the alternative of death. This book is about the struggle that the child and the father face together; the struggle between satisfying human needs and doing so whilst maintaining a semblance of humanity. STRUCTURE: This novel does not fo llow a conventional structure. In the ? rst scenes of the book, (this book is not separated into chapters), the reader is introduced to the boy and the man.It is clear early on that the man is the boy? s father, as the boy calls him â€Å"papa†. The reader also understands that they have a cart full of goods and that they travel and sleep wherever necessary. This is the exposition. After that, the book follows them as they travel toward the coast, ? eeing from the cold habitat of the northern land. While traveling, they must also replenish their food multiple times. As they walk towards the coast and search for food, they are met with many ethical and moral problems. They meet a child whom they suspect, but do not know, has no one to look after him.They meet fellow vagabonds, starving and dying, with some of whom they cannot afford to share resources. The child asks child-like questions that spark deep philosophical questions of morality in the father. â€Å" I? m afraid for that little boy. I know, he? ll be all right. We should go get him, Papa. We could get him and take him with us. We could take him and we could take the dog. The dog could catch us something to eat. We cant. And I? d give that little boy half of my food. Stop it. We cant. He was crying again. What about the little boy? he sobbed. What about the little boy? This is one of the complications of this novel that superimposes itself on the underlying complication of the lack of food: Can one simply watch someone such as a little boy walk off to their death? This complication is not resolved in this book. Another complication and moral dilemma of this book is the question of whether the man will be able to kill his son if need be. The remnants of North America, and if the rest of the world survived, there too, a majority of the people left were cannibalistic savages who raped and tortured those that they captured before eating them.His wife had asked him questions of whether he would be a ble to end their lives to spare them the suffering that they would be put through if they were captured. â€Å"Now is the time. Curse God and die. What if it doesn? t ? re? It has to ? re. What if it doesn? t ? re? Could you crush that beloved skull with a rock? Is there such a being within you of which you know nothing? Can there be? Hold him in your arms. Just so. The soul is quick to pull him towards you. Kiss him. Quickly. † There are several ? ashbacks in this book, the man dreams of his lost wife and the moral dilemma that they faced, which was not resolved.The wife took on a fatalist view of the world, and wanted it over with. The man simply wanted his son to live, and to try and help him live as happy a life as possible. The wife then left, and it is inferred that she went to her death. CHARACTERIZATION: One character that has made an impression on me is the child. The child is always sweet and generous. It is heartbreaking to read the effects of the happenings of the world that he lives in, but perhaps even worse reading the times when it doesn? t anymore. What really effected me about this child is the simpleness with which he viewed the world.A lens that only a character like him could look through. â€Å" Tell me. The boy looked down the road. I want you to tell me. It? s okay. He shook his head. Look at me, the man said. He turned and looked. He looked like he? d been crying. Just tell me. We wouldnt ever eat anybody, would we? No. Of course not. Even if we were starving? We? re starving now. You said we werent. I said we werent dying. I didnt say we werent starving. But we wouldnt. No. We wouldnt. No matter what. No. No matter what. Because we? re the good guys. Yes. And we? re carrying the ? re. And we? re carrying the ? re. Yes Okay. † Although I? sure many of us would like to think that cannibalism is beyond us and that we would never eat another human being to save ourselves, but I do not think that it is a reality that will sur vive in midst of crisis when there is no society to impose the morality that binds us today. It is for us to decide whether we have a moral compass separate and independent from the ideas of society.THEME: The author? s purpose in writing this book is to question what we think is the foundation of humanity; the foundation of who we are. Can humanity survive in a world of chaos and suffering such as this? Is there room for it? And if here is not, then can it be called â€Å"survival† if we have forsaken the values that we used to say is what we were. In reading this book the reader develops an appreciation for life and for the things that we have that we call fundamental and thus take for granted. â€Å"He had no shoes at all and his feet were wrapped in rash and cardboard tied with green twine and any number of layers of vile clothing showed through the tears and hoes in it. † I also think that Cormac McCarthy meant for the reader to ponder problems in the book, so as to compare ourselves to the characters and their actions, and to imagine what we may have done in their shoes. The boy lay with his head on the man? s lap. After a while he said: They? re going to kill those people, arent they? Yes. Why do they have to do that? I dont know. Are they going to eat them? I dont know. They? re going to eat them, arent they? Yes. And we couldnt help them because then they? d eat us too. Yes. And that? s why we couldnt help them. Yes. Okay. † Is it okay? Does not doing all you can do to help make you a guilty bystander? Does it make it any better that you were not the one that would commit these heinous acts, but were simply the ones that saw the victims-to-be and walked away? LANGUAGE:In this novel, McCarthy does not follow many grammatical rules. When there is a dialogue, McCarthy, instead of using conventional speech marks, indents what is said from one character and does the same for the next. He does not always follow this either, but it is the norm throughout the book. â€Å" You promised not to do that, the boy said. What? You know what, Papa. He poured the hot water back into the pan and took the boy? s cup and poured some of the cocoa into his own and handed it back. I have to watch you all the time, the boy said. I know. If you break little promises you? ll break big ones. That? what you said. I know. But I wont. † This system leaves it up to the reader to infer who is speaking. Some parts of the book are up for interpretation in meaning but also who speaks at certain points. This changes much meaning, the reader is left to ponder who is speaking what and the implications thereof. The vocabulary in this book is very complex, McCarthy even uses some words that are no longer in many dictionaries. He uses many words in ? exible ways that challenge the mind, and are also up for much interpretation. â€Å"On their backs were vermiculate patterns that were maps of the world in its becoming. †McCarthy misses s ome apostrophes where the word can still be deciphered. He also breaks small rules of grammar to do with multiple â€Å"and†s in one sentence and makes many fragments. â€Å"He did not take care of her and she died alone somewhere in the dark and there is no other dream nor waking world and there is no other tale to tell. † At times he simply disregards the logical sentence structure altogether. â€Å"Query: How does the never to be differ from what never was? † I think that all of this relates back to the book. The crumbled society and people of this book that I mentioned before is portrayed through the events and characters of this book.The writing style of this book in its errors and sentences I think is symbolic of the disintegrating society. Writing no longer follows the rules that it has because there is no reason for it to. It makes for many incredibly complex and beautiful sentences, no longer bound by the limitations of a normal sentence. These sentence s challenge your mind, and can be subject to so much more interpretation than a normal sentence. â€Å"Like the great pendulum in its rotunda scribing through the long day movements of the universe of which you may say it knows nothing and yet know it must. †

Are Bugs Considered Animals

If youve ever seen a praying mantis in person before you knew of its existence, you may have been frightened by its exotic looks. Its face alone would give anyone seeing it for the first time pause. The law of human nature dictates we fear what we dont know. But most would be fascinated and want to know what it is. Ladybugs must have better public relations people because everyone is happy to see a ladybug land on or near them. Butterflies, too, are beautiful and millions of people visit butterfly exhibits and preserves such as Butterfly World in South Florida annually just to bask in their presence.  Those who believe in spirit guides, upon seeing a dragonfly expects a transition in their lives because dragonflies and damselflies are like the angel Gabriel, here to let you know there is a change coming.  Fun fact about dragonflies: they are the only animal that is at home in the air, the water and on land. Rumor has it there are penalties for killing a praying mantis. However, a review of state and federal laws will turn up nothing that specifically protects praying mantises and the whole thing  appears to be an urban legend, They may be covered by some state  animal cruelty  laws that prohibit needlessly killing animals. But that’s doubtful. So it’s not illegal to kill them, it’s just a rotten thing to do. What Is a Praying Mantis? There are about 2,000 known species of praying mantises, but only twenty of them live in the U.S. All are insects  of the order Dictyoptera,  suborder Mantodea. The common name refers to the way they hold their front legs - like arms in prayer. They are masters of camouflage and blend into the branches, leaves, flowers, and ground where they live. All mantis species are carnivores, eating other insects, small  mammals, lizards, frogs, and  even their own mates. What Is a Lady Bug? Well, it’s not a bug, it’s a beetle. It has the same PR problems as does the Volkswagen Beetle. The Volkswagen people insist their little plump car is a Beetle. The rest of us call it a Bug. It makes us happy and they still sell cars so, no harm done. Entomologists call the ladybug  Coleoptera and probably don’t sing songs about houses burning down. Ladybugs are garden-friendly and belong to an elite group of SEAL TEAM type forces called beneficial bugs. If you don’t have ladybugs in your garden, then you may have an enemy lurking under your Hibiscus leaves. They’re aphids, and they cause plenty of harm. The little bloodsuckers are responsible for destroying your foliage. Ladybugs love them, and home gardeners purchase them by the thousands and release them into their gardens. What Is a Beneficial Insect? Mantises, ladybugs, and butterflies, as well as many other insects, both beautiful and not-so-much, have a reputation as beneficial insects because they eat other insects in the home garden, but they do not discriminate between harmful and beneficial critters. Whats All This Have to Do With Animal Rights? It is important to note that from an  animal rights  viewpoint, the concept of beneficial insects is highly anthropocentric. Every insect - every organism - has a place in the ecosystem. For example, a tick predates on a cow, a cowbird eats the tick and then flies around planting seeds that grow trees, etc. etc. To judge an animal as beneficial because they somehow help human interests ignores the fact that all animals have their own intrinsic value and are beneficial to themselves. Organic gardeners purchase ladybugs to release in their gardens to eat the destructive pests that eat the beautiful flowers and vegetables, so to gardeners, these beetles have a value. Cockroaches, despite having their own  Spanish song, have no value.  Ã¢â‚¬â€¹ Beneficial Bugs and Federal Law As of 2016, no federal law protects beneficial insects such as the praying mantis and none of the â€Å"good bugs† enjoy any other federal animal protection law. Although mantises and ladybugs are not listed as threatened or endangered under the  Endangered Species Act, plenty of other insects have been put on the list, mostly due to habitat loss and indiscriminate use of pesticides. But most bugs, being  invertebrates, are explicitly excluded from  Animal Welfare Act  protection. CITES   The  Convention on Trade in Endangered Species  of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) also does not currently protect beneficial bugs. CITES is an international treaty that protects endangered and threatened  species by regulating trade  in those species. While CITES includes plants and animals, including insects, no species of praying mantis is listed under CITES as if 2013. However, even if a praying mantis species were listed, CITES applies only to  international trade  and would not govern whether someone can kill a praying mantis, ladybug or butterfly in their own backyard. But it would still be a rotten thing to do. State Animal Cruelty Laws This is where it gets interesting. Some state animal cruelty laws explicitly exclude all invertebrates (e.g. Alaska Stat  §03.55.190) or all insects (e.g. New Mexico Stat  §30-18-1) by excluding them from their definition of the word animal. However, some states do not exclude insects from their laws. For example, New Jerseys definition of animal includes the whole brute creation (N.J.S.  §4:22-15). Minnesotas definition of animal is every living creature except members of the human race (Minn. Stat.  §343.20). In jurisdictions where insects are covered by the state animal cruelty statutes, the needless, intentional killing of an insect is illegal and may carry a fine or even imprisonment. Whether charges are filed and the case is actually prosecuted is a separate issue, however. I was unable to locate a single animal cruelty case involving a praying mantis or insect of any kind. Praying Mantises, Animal Welfare, and Animal Rights From an  animal welfare  or even an animal rights point of view, the current status of our laws is irrelevant to the question of whether it is wrong to kill a praying mantis or any other insect harmless to humans. From both an animal welfare and animal rights viewpoint, killing an animal for no reason cannot be morally acceptable. This is completely separate from whether an animal is endangered or whether the animal is beneficial to humans.

Aztec Civilization Essay - 680 Words

The Aztec Indians created a great civilization in Central Mexico, reaching its peak in the 1500amp;#8217;s. Being late arrivals to the area, and because of their strong neighboring nations, they were forced to live in the swampy western areas of the Lake Texcoco. Because of the swampy surroundings, the Aztecs used mud to create miniature islands in the swamps. These islands are called chinampas, or amp;#8220;floating gardens,; and were used as farming lands. On these fertile islands they grew corn, squash, vegetables, and flowers. Being an agriculturally dependant empire, the Aztecamp;#8217;s religion was based highly on the forces of nature and worshipped them as gods. The god of war, Huitzilopochtli, was the most important deity.†¦show more content†¦On the stone is a picture of what the Aztecs thought the universe was like. The sun god is in the middle, with the heavens surrounding it, and pictures of people made out of precious stones. The Aztec form of writing was in pictographs, or small pictures symbolizing objects or sounds. The Aztec numbering system used pictographs also, and was based on the number 20. For example, a flag represented 20, a fir tree represented 20 times 20, or 400, and a pouch represented 400 times 20, or 8000. The capitol of the Aztec Empire was Tenochtitlan, which was built where modern-day Mexico City is. It was given the nickname amp;#8220;Venice of the New World,; because it had many canals. During the acme of the Aztec civilization, the population of this great city nu mbered more than 200,000. This made it one of the most populated cities in the ancient world. The city was connected to the mainland by 3 causeways, which, when flooded, served as protective dikes. In the city aqueducts, which was probably the first type of indoor plumbing, brought fresh water into homes. Many people used canoes to travel through the city. Most of the houses were made up of mud and twisted twigs, but the nobility and priests had plastered brick or stone houses.

string(84) " was attacked almost simultaneously by Lebanese, Iraqi, Egyptian and Syrian troops\." The beginning of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict Sebastien Steigmeier ESL071 Professor Waldrop April 23, 2011 Everybody saw it on television, in the newspaper or maybe heard it on the radio, the last century held many different conflicts in Gaza Strip. Basically, people know that Israel and Palestine are fighting for that land, each one pretending that they deserve it. A survey, done on CBU students, shows that most of them don’t know anything about the conflict. We will write a custom essay sample on The Beginning of the Israeli Palestinian Conflict or any similar topic only for you Order Now The only ones who knew a little bit about it were sure that Israel wanted the land to build a Jewish state after the tragedy of the World War II. I asked a few students some questions before doing my survey to get a basic idea of their knowledge. Then I realized that I would probably have to ask different questions considering their lack of knowledge on the topic. Out of the nine students taking time to answer my questions, six had no idea what to answer and two said that Israel wanted the land as â€Å"compensation† after the Holocaust. Let’s take a look at the history, and consider facts that will help us understanding what are the reasons why Zionists (it’s important not to confuse Zionists and Jews) and Palestinian Arabs are fighting. Emerging a long time ago, this idea of having a land to bring Jewish people together came out in 1897. From August 29 to August 31 of that year, occurred in Basel, Switzerland (I swear I didn’t know that) the first Zionist Congress, held by the World Zionist Organization. Theodor Herzl who was named as the first President and who also was the author of â€Å"Der Judenstaat† (â€Å"the Jewish State†) was the initiator of that congress. The Zionist Congress travelled through many different European cities, and was held every two years from 1897 to 1946, except during the two World Wars. As an answer to the question â€Å"why do Zionists want to take that land? † most people answer that they want a land because they want to build a Jewish State to stay together in peace after the Holocaust. History proves them wrong by showing that Zionists are trying to steal that land for more than a century, and the Holocaust happened only seventy years ago. Even though Arabs were killed by Zionists attacks during the 1940’s, in 1947, the United Nations decided to split the land and to give half of it to the Jews. We can say that the seven millions of Jews who were killed during the World War II didn’t die for nothing, as compassion made the United Nations allow them to steal half of a country. Sure, what happened during the Holocaust was terrible, but I don’t think that Zionists should use it to claim â€Å"their† land. There is no land on earth that belongs to a religious group. A lot of religious groups are gathered together in the same area which is fine, but no religious group tries to make an independent country for a religion. What would you think if all the atheist Mexicans come together and say: â€Å"We are going to take the Southern California and make it a Atheist State† It makes no sense. But the United Nations decided to agree with the Zionists and gave them a part of the Arab Palestinian territory. This was called the â€Å"partition plan† and was voted by the United Nations General Assembly on November 29, 1947. Palestinian Arabs felt violated of course, and the day after, on November 30th they reacted violently. It led to what experts call â€Å"The Civil War in Mandatory Palestine†. The Civil War lasted until May 14, 1948 with the Jewish victory. On that day, Israel declared its independence. The British army, who was supposed to maintain order in Palestine, was preparing its withdrawal and didn’t really have a finger in the pie. Great-Britain’s mandate over the Palestinian territory was expiring on May 15; Israel declared its independence on May 14 because May 15 was Shabbat, as the story says. The day after, another important war started, the â€Å"1948 Arab-Israeli War† also known as the â€Å"War of independence† or the â€Å"War of Liberation†. With Israel declaring its independence, the Arab neighbors of â€Å"the State of Israel† started to invade on May 15, showing their disagreement with the decisions that were made by the United Nations. The 1948 Arab-Israeli War happened in three phases, each phase being separated by some truce agreement. As the Soviet Union, Iran and the United States recognized Israel as a free State, the League of Arab States sent a letter to the United Nations Secretary General, to proclaim its idea of building what they called the â€Å"United State of Palestine† instead of splitting the country in a Jewish and Arab two states â€Å"country†. That letter, also known as the Cablegram from the Secretary-General of the League of Arab States to the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Folke Bernadotte, contained what was at that time a great idea, and maybe a good opportunity to try to solve the problem. Basically, they wanted to establish a single and democratically ruled state. This cablegram contained ten points that were asked to be presented in front of the General Assembly and the Security Council. Each point was reminding facts and history, to explain how that territory belonged to Arabs, but also points that showed how Arabs were ready to share it in a democratic way with the Jews living in the same area. The Israelis said that the plan was not even considerable because Jews were a majority in the areas that were given to the Jewish State. At that time, China supported the Arabs, while the United States, Iran and the Soviet Union considered that the Arabs were entering the Israeli territory illegally. Egypt, who was on the Arabs’ side of course enter the conflict by bombing Tel-Aviv in response to previous provocation. The whole all around Arab world followed, and Israel was attacked almost simultaneously by Lebanese, Iraqi, Egyptian and Syrian troops. You read "The Beginning of the Israeli Palestinian Conflict" in category "Papers" But as Israel was a freshly new established state, Jews from all around the world were joining, making the average number of immigrant reaching 10,300 by month! That was really helpful to Israel who could increase its military forces amazingly. By the day of the declaration of Independence, the Israeli strength was just above 29,000. At the end of the year, on December 30, the military forces counted more than 108,000 soldiers. Israel increased in number, but also found ways to get some more military equipment such as planes, weapons and armed vehicles. The war was on; both sides were bombing and fighting each other. The conflict lasted for a little bit more than three weeks. The United Nations called for a truce on May 29, but both sides kept on fighting till June 11. That truce lasted for 28 days and was ending the first phase of the 1948 war. The ceasefire was overviewed by military officers from different countries, such as France, Belgium, United States or Sweden, all picked by the United Nations. This ceasefire had no other goal than just getting ready to fight again for both sides. The Arabs used it to reinforce their positions with new and fresh soldiers while the Israeli were buying new weapons from Czechoslovakia, and sending new soldiers on the field too. There were around 30,000 Israeli soldiers when the truce was announced and a little bit more than 65,000 when the truce ended. Still during the truce, Folke Bernadotte was trying to find a way to settle the land politically. He was facing what he described as his obstacles: â€Å"the Arab world’s continued rejection of the existence of a Jewish state, whatever its borders; Israel’s new ‘philosophy’, based on its increasing military strength, of ignoring the partition boundaries and conquering what additional territory it could; and the emerging Palestinian Arab refugee problem† (Morris, Benny. 948: A History of the First Arab-Israeli War) Bernadotte also presented his idea of a new plan of partition as following, that a union â€Å"be established between the two sovereign states of Israel and Jordan (which now included the West Bank); that the Negev, or part of it, be included in the Arab state and that Western Galilee, or part of it, be included in Israel; that the whole of Jerusalem be part of the Arab state, with the Jewish areas enjoying municipal autonomy and that Lydda Airport and Haifa be ‘free ports’—presumably free of Israeli or Arab sovereignty† (same source). Israel didn’t agree with that plan because they wanted Jerusalem, but they agreed to lengthen the truce for one more month. The Arabs rejected both the plan and the truce and on July 8 Egypt bombed Negba, which was an Israeli position. (Alfred A. Knopf. A History of Israel from the Rise of Zionism to Our Time. New York. 1976. p. 330. ) This attack on the â€Å"Israeli territory† launched the second phase of the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. The second phase lasted only ten days but it was sufficient for the Israeli soldiers to perform a lot of operations, with the most famous one, Operation Danny. It had for goal to secure two of the most important cities (Jerusalem and Tel Aviv) and also the roads linking both those cities. The Jewish military forces launched a few other operations during those ten days conquering more territory and more dominance. The United Nations succeeded in calling another truce on July 18, which led to an almost two months break. Bernadotte again proposed a new partition plan on September 16 with a fair â€Å"distribution† of the territories and the internationalization of Jerusalem. A militant Zionist group, Lehi, was scared that the Jewish Government would accept the plan so they assassinated Bernadotte in Jerusalem the day after. What Lehi didn’t know is that meanwhile they were planning their operation both the Arab and Israeli Government already rejected the plan and were preparing to fight again the next month. This was the end of the second truce. On October 15, the war started again, and both sides were conquering and losing some territories, and clue cities. The British army, who said that they were agreeing with the United Nations when it was time to make decisions finally realized that Israeli positions were going maybe a little bit too far in Egypt as they were approaching the Suez Canal, which was controlled by Great Britain and pretty useful. On November 20, the Israeli shot down a photo-taking-plane sent by the British. The day after, four British routine reconnaissance planes were also shot down by the Israeli, killing one of the four pilots and taking the three other ones as hostages. The rest of the squadron realizing that the four planes were not coming back went to look for them and also was attacked by the Israeli. Maybe that if Great Britain had decided earlier to seriously care about what was happening in Gaza Strip before it messed with their personal profits, they wouldn’t have lost those pilots. People don’t care about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict until they might lose something. The British army was supposed to maintain order over the Palestinian territory before the war started. As said earlier, they were preparing their withdrawal and they let the Jews attack the Arabs while they still were there. It didn’t matter to them because they were leaving. But years later, when they realized that Israeli Forces were about to take control on the Suez Canal, they understood that if they wanted to keep it they would have to do something (or maybe should have done something by the past). The Jews were not only firing the planes but also finding the planes on the ground after shooting them, removing the usable pieces and then burning the rest to make sure that it would be useless. Tired of being shot down by the Israeli, who were saying that they could not difference them from the Arabs (really? , the British painted their planes’ wings to be more recognizable. The Jews started to understand that they were in a dangerous position and that fighting in Egypt was maybe a stupid idea, so they retired from Egypt and stopped fighting. At the end of the year 1948, the United Nations General Assembly voted for the â€Å"Resolution 194† which said that â€Å"refugees wishing t o return to their homes and live in peace with their neighbors should be permitted to do so† and that â€Å"compensation should be paid for the property of those choosing not to return. (Efraim Karsh, The Palestinians and The ‘Right of Return’ Commentary Magazine, May 2001. ) In the beginning of 1949, Israel started signing armistices with Egypt first, and with Lebanon, Jordan and Syria later. But this wasn’t fair. According to Leon Carl Brown â€Å"†¦ when the war ended in 1949, Israel was in control of about one-third more territory (some 2,500 square miles) than it had been allocated by the United Nations partition plan† (Leon Carl Brown (2004). Diplomacy in the Middle East: the international relations of regional and outside powers. I. B. Tauris. pp. 126) letting the Arabs with only Gaza Strip and the West Bank under control. After having its territory secured, Israel evicted the Arabs that were remaining on the new Jewish State. More than 700,000 Arabs were forced to leave their home and were told that they would never be allowed to come back in Israel or in any neighboring Arab country but Transjordan. Those Arabs were known as the Palestinian Refugees. â€Å"Arab-Israel Conflict. † The Continuum Political Encyclopedia of the Middle East. Ed. Avraham Sela. New York: Continuum, 2002. pp. 58-121. ) The conflict never really stopped, and by the Jordanian border there were always some kind of operations launched by both sides. In 1955, Israel killed 37 Egyptian soldiers in Gaza on a raid. After this attack, Egypt started to build a more serious army, by training the volunteers remaining in Gaza and making them â€Å"F edayeen† (â€Å"those who sacrifice†) forces. Years later, in 1967, Israel attacked the Egyptian forces in Gaza Strip and the Jordanian forces in the West Bank, annexing both the lands and taking control over Jerusalem. This conflict is known as the Six-Day War. To summarize quickly: as if receiving half of a land was not enough, Israel started a conflict with the real owners, after having more than what they should have got, they fight again because they want it entirely. What else could they do to mock the Arabs a little bit more? They named the freshly acquired Jerusalem as the Capital city of the Jewish state. When you become aware of what happened since 1897, it is hard not to feel compassion for the Palestinian Arabs who were stolen and killed because Zionists decided that they deserved a land. Of course the Arabs were not white as snow after the conflict began and they also killed some of the Israeli forces soldiers. But with the Great Britain just watching instead of acting as they should have done, I feel like the Arabs did the right thing fighting back. Who could say with integrity that they should not have fought back and let the Jews steel their land? In my opinion, no one. References A history of Conflict.

Advocacy Protection of Human Rights

Question: Discuss about the AdvocacyforProtection of Human Rights. Answer: Introduction Over the past years, there has been a great concern by the New Zealand government in the effect of human rights on the policy making procedure. Moreover, the government has entered into extensive international agreements regarding the promotion and protection of human rights. These agreements are engaging New Zealand due to the International law. This comprises both the social, economic, political, cultural and civil rights. In particular the latter has numerous problems for social policy. After many years, there has been a rise in concerns from inside and outside the New Zealand government in the effect of public rights and freedom on the policy implementation procedure. However, there has been a major issue regarding which rights based strategy to social policy is needed in New Zealand. That issue is because of problems that limit any effort to enhance the extent and effects of New Zealands concerns with respects to Economic, Social and Cultural (ESC) rights (Smith Smith, 2016). T his paper is an analysis of the concepts of social justice and human rights in New Zealand. In general, ESC rights have not been subjected to similar extent degree of normal setting that has been required by the international laws of Child protection rights, and particularly the language in which they are set is usually uncertain (Osler, 2015). Moreover, the rules set by the International Covenant on cultural, social and economic rights are placed on relative instead of relative terms (Smith Smith, 2016). It necessitates the state to discover the rights in a progressive manner and to the extent of its available resources. Due to this facts, the exact level to which the states duties regarding the ESC rights is both controversial and contestable. This crisis is due to the lack of an organized tendency of the New Zealand judiciary to clearly elaborate the ESC rights both in the domestic and international scenario (Flood Gross, 2014). During the year 2003, the Human rights commission interviewed the publishers using the New Zealand Centre for human Law, to make a statement p aper on the concerns of applying a rights-based analysis to the making of social policy in New Zealand. This publication is an edited and exaggerated version of the paper. Its motive is to enhance discussions about the concerns for New Zealand social policy decision of developing a rights based strategy (De Souza, 2015). Social policy are the codes and systems by which the government uses to impact the improvement of community, especially in association to education, welfare and health. This description is somehow narrow as compared to the definition used by the ministry of Social Development in the Social improvement strategy (Bertot,2016), in which social policy is explained as the policy that has an effect on the social standards. However, the modification has a big impact for the evaluation that follows and that is required in this setting to try and find the answer to the main question of what, exactly is the definition of social policy. Recently, there has been numerous protests against the social development, social welfare, and social policy in New Zealand. The ministrys mechanism is detailed and finds a broad variety of approaches to wellness, appropriate objectives and desirable social results. Moreover, it incorporates reference to a guideline concerning the distribution of wellness that all persons enjoy some basic limited level of wellness (De Souza, 2015). What is not clear in the ministrys mechanisms is the use of dialect or the aspect of human rights. This is not to suggesting that a human rights aspect is entirely lacking form the New Zealand policy setting. After the development of the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act in 1990, government officers have completely been made to control the effects of human rights obligations for policy development and this exposed in Cabinets decision-making procedures. However, there is still uncertainty in the government regarding what a rights based strategy to social policy can need and how it can be different from a strategy that centralizes on the wellness. Particularly, this uncertainty is a ttached to the principle concerns of ESC, which are not covered by the Bill of Rights Act of 1990 and, for the explanation already given, raise certain problems of presentation (Came McCreanor, 2015). On other hand, a rights based strategy to social policy is one that confirms that guidelines are implemented within the guidelines stipulated by the New Zealands human rights requirements, as stated in international and domestic law (Ife, 2012). It is significant to think about the meaning of human rights and particularly, how to concentrate on requirements, that is invited by the qualities of wellness. There is a big similarity between needs-based and right-based approaches in that both approaches are based on interventions on the needs expressed by poor individuals. However, the language of rights stretches emphasizes on certain parameters of the duties, obligations and interests that are important. For instance, Mary needs food if we consider that in the lack of food, Marys wellness will decrease in an approach that we refer as important. We are evaluating the limitations that Mary will face if denied food. Similarly, an analysis of Marys requirements may as well as underlie the s tatement Mary has a right to food. However, the concept of rights supports the concept of need in a number of aspects. Firstly, the dialect of rights is the dialect of demand of ownership. To suggest that Mary needs food reflects the moral or legal duties of others regarding Marys need. In comparison, the statement Mary has a right to food states that somebody has an obligation to ensure that Marys right is secured (Smith Smith, 2016). Human Rights Mechanism in New Zealand The human rights in New Zealand are secured in many ways within the entire common and statute law. For instance, to use commonplace, the concept of justified murder is one of the procedures in which the nation secures the right to life (Osler, 2015). In general, this guidelines of common or statute law can be modified through the standard procedure of principles enactment followed by parliamentary developments. The human rights mechanisms refers to those particular structures of human rights protection, retrieved from international and domestic law, that cover not only the daily activities of the policy procedure but also ensures that it is substantive and procedural (Ife, 2012). Key Important Structures of Human Rights Protection The guidelines administering Executives decision making procedures under the subtitle Executive Government ensures that Executive papers advocating policy and statutory proposals should incorporate consideration of various domestic rights-related tools that is Bill of Rights Act 1990, the Human Rights Acts 1993, the Privacy Act 1993, and the treaty of Waitangi. In addition, they need approval of New Zealands international requirements. The compulsory international human rights guidelines incorporated into by the new government in New Zealand are majorly located in two categories of international convections that is the United Nations (UN) and the international labour organisation convections (ILO). The mechanism of the UN human rights management is the accumulation of international tools usually known as the international Bill of Rights. This constitutes the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the international covenant on Civil and Political Rights and two protocols of the ICCPR (Brisman South, 2016). Despite the Universal Declaration, these tools are compulsory treaties that have been cleared by the New Zealand Government. The Universal Declaration was retrieved from the resolutions of the UN General Assembly having no influence of law. On the contrary, its requirements have been so often revoked and used by government and non-governmental organisations that some individuals believe that most of the rights incorporated within it have gained the condition of common law (Zehr, 2015). In addition, the International Bill of Human Rights is complemented by more particular convections that protect the human rights of certain endangered categories or that explore in details the nations guidelines regarding a certain set of human rights. The most common is the Convention associated with the conditions of the refugees (refugee convention), the treaty on the elimination of all kinds of Racism (Race Convection, the treaty against Torture and other cruelty, inhuman or Degrading Treatment of Punishment (Torture Convection), the convection on the removal of all kinds of discrimination against women, and the convecti on on the rights of the child. Primarily, the ILO convections support labour rights. There are 185 such convections, where 50 have been implemented in New Zealand. Substantive Rights The human rights treaty regime is important as it has enhanced freedom and equality from discernment. Equality rights are entirely secured in the entire treaty regime. This convections ensure that rights are protected in the particular treaties without distinction of any form of sex, language, colour, and race (Bertot, 2016). Additionally, the significance of the right to equality is that it extends its rights to persons and groups that are endangered, disadvantaged or marginalized. Secondly, the child protection rights may in any situation affect social policy and particularly on the procedure where social help is implemented and distributed. One set of Child protection rights that has certain impact and significant for the procedure of social policy formulation is rights regarding involvement in the code of public affairs. Rights of involvements are found in several kinds in the international human rights treaties. This includes, the race convection, the womens convection and the c hildrens convection. To evaluate the extent and concerns of the guidelines undertaken by the New Zealand government to compulsory international convections, it is important to analyze the mechanisms themselves to non-commitment bases of interpretation and analysation. This includes; particular statements and other papers created by the UN human rights convection agencies (Bertot, 2016). To summarize, the most important appreciative aspect of the rights-based strategy to social policy involves the understanding of what exactly the New Zealand government has undertaken regarding the protection of human rights. As indicated before, there are several domestic human rights laws that are stipulated in the codes managing Cabinets decision-making procedures: the Bill of Rights Act 1990, the privacy Act 1993 and the Human Rights Act 1993. In relation to this, these statutes have a negative impact on government action and policy making processes. The reason is that during the final exploration, the New Zealand parliament remains with the power to enact where the standard human rights are breached. Moreover, the need to pass legislation in order to limit these securities, in conjunction with the systems for contemplation of human rights and associated problems that have been created in the routine constraints on policy making. The difficulties that occur in governance in an NM P setting act as a further limitation. Furthermore, there is nothing to force the New Zealand government to enhance change to international law, if there is absence of the statutory reference in the international human rights treaty guidelines. However, it is a critical guideline of the international law that the guidelines throughout the treaty bind the participants to the treaty, who are in accordance mandated to revise their common legal guidelines to enhance change to them.
