Why organizational culture is important to social work Discussion

Once you have completed your readings and you have watched the case study (Jamal & systemic racism), craft an initial post containing a response to no fewer than 3 of the 5 prompts:

Give an example of how and why organizational culture is important to social work. In your discussion, be sure to cite concepts from your Meenaghan textbook.

Analyze, describe, and apply a model, framework, or theory from Chapter 4 (see Meenaghan) to a community of your choosing to demonstrate how it might be useful.

Describe the difference between gemeinschaft, gesselschaft, & neo-gemeinschaft. How would knowledge of these concepts apply to the communities that our profession serves?

In Jamal’s case, identify what has impacted the community, then discuss what macro, mezzo, or micro level actions could be taken to correct these modern-day social injustices.

If you were trying to help Jamal’s community, what levels would you engage on (macro, mezzo, micro). Describe how and why you would engage on those levels?

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
