1-assignment-community-change 

Community Change. Write a two- to- three- page paper (excluding title 

and reference pages) that identifies a problem faced by your 

community. Discuss how a model of community change could be 

implemented to improve the problem. 

1. Describe six features of your community (e.g., cultural make up, size, 

and locality).

2. Define the problem (e.g., obesity, environmental pollution, teenage 

pregnancy, graffiti, truancy, gangs, drugs, child labor, or insufficient 

educational programs) and explain why the problem is detrimental to 

the community. 

3. Select a model of community change identified in the textbook and 

explain how it could be implemented to improve the problem. 

4. Identify: 

a. At least three aspects of the problem you think that the model will be 

most successful at solving and provide reasoning as to why. 

b. At least three aspects of the problem you think that the model will 

struggle to solve and provide reasoning as to why. 

The bulk of your paper should focus on the third component above (the 

model of community change). Your paper must include a minimum of 

two scholarly sources and be formatted according to APA style as 

outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.

Community Macro Systems: Sociopsychological Perspective” section of 

your textbook. Briefly describe the sociopsychological perspective and 

compare it to at least one other perspective the book discusses. How 

can the sociopsychological perspective be used to understand, and

ABS 497 Week 3 Assignment communication 

PowerPoint Presentation 



3-assignment-communication-powerpointpresentation 

Communication PowerPoint Presentation. Develop a 10- to12-- slide 

PowerPoint Presentation designed for training the staff at a local high 

school. The PowerPoint Presentation should focus on strategies that 

promote communication skills among adolescents. 

Students are encouraged to approach the assignment creatively, adding 

graphics, visuals, charts and/or graphs to their work. Slides should be 

designed to address the selected topic clearly and concisely. Each slide 

should be developed with professional presentation style (e.g., bulleted 

items in brief statements rather than complete sentences). Notes 

should complement the slides and provide details useful to the speaker 

if an oral presentation were to be given.

c. Course name and number 

d. Instructor’s name 

e. Date submitted 

3. Must present a thesis statement regarding why social skills training 

would be appropriate for adolescents. 

4. Must explain different types of communication (e.g., aggressive and 

assertive). 

5. Must share four strategies on how adolescents could improve their 

communication skills. 

6. Must create at least three hypothetical scenarios of problems that 

adolescents might encounter, including one that involves 

cultural/ethnic issues. The scenarios should show how adolescents 

could use improved communication skills to solve these problems. 

7. Must develop conclusions that reiterate the opening thesis 

statement, include a summary of the social skills training discussed, and 

offer evidence of its effectiveness.

8. Must use at least four scholarly sources (in addition to the course 

text), including a minimum of two from the Ashford Online Library. 

References are to be provided as needed within the slides. 

9. Must include a separate reference slide, formatted according to APA 

style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.

3-dq-1-suicide 

Suicide. Chapter 7 of the textbook discusses adolescent suicide. Select a 

group that could be considered a minority (e.g., Hispanics, 

homosexuals, or students with learning disabilities) and discuss the 

potential suicide risk for this group. What factors may make them more 

or less likely to attempt suicide than other groups? What support can

e given to individuals and/or groups to decrease suicide attempts?

ABS 497 Week 5 Final Paper 



5-final-paper 

Final Paper 

To complete the following final paper, go to this week's Final Paper link 

in the left navigation. 

Final Paper

Focus of the Final Paper 

Imagine that you are a researcher and are conducting a study to 

investigate a community problem. Using behavioral research principles, 

select a macro systems problem to investigate (there are many 

suggested in the textbook, e.g. domestic violence, homophobia, sexual 

abuse, delinquent gangs) and design a study to solve this community 

problem. 

The purpose of your Final Paper is to solve this community problem. 

The Final Paper should be eight- to- ten pages (excluding title and 

reference pages) that includes the following components: 

(Please note that for the purposes of offering instruction, examples 

have been given below about a research study involving the use of 

financial reward programs to combat truancy. Please make sure that 

you create a study that does not investigate the same content.) 

I. Introduction – This section should include a brief summary of the 

community problem that will be addressed, as well as the approach 

that will be used to investigate and solve the problem. 

II. Statement of the problem – The purpose of this section is to specify 

the main research question (e.g., Does enrollment in a financial reward 

program reduce truancy?) and define the community problem in more 

depth (e.g., truancy), analyzing why it is a problem. In addition, you will 

explain the problem-solving method you plan to employ (e.g., 

enrollment in a financial reward program) and state your main 

hypothesis. (e.g., Enrollment in a financial reward program is expected 

to reduce student truancy in the short term, but its long-term effects 

are difficult to predict.)

III. Literature Review – In this section, research findings pertaining to 

both the community problem and problem solving method need to be 

illustrated. (e.g., Relevant articles may include those on the prevalence 

of truancy, the impact of truancy, previous methods used to combat 

truancy, and the benefits of financial reward programs.) 

IV. Methodology – Explain how your Final Paper will investigate the 

problem. How will the study be designed? How many participants will 

be involved in the study and how will they be recruited? (e.g., Four 

classes at a local high school will be given the opportunity to participate 

in the research study. Two of these classes will be enrolled in the 

financial reward program.) How will data be collected? (e.g., Truancy 

data will be collected on all of the participants for the six months 

preceding the reward program, for the duration of the program, and for 

the six months after completion of the reward program.) What 

statistics will be used to evaluate the data? (e.g., Inferential statistics 

will be conducted to compare the truancy levels of the group of 

students participating in the program with those of the group of 

students who are not participating in the program.) Ethical 

considerations should be discussed to ensure that no unethical 

research is suggested. 

V. Conclusions – This section should contain concluding remarks about 

any potential problems that might be encountered in conducting this 

research study. It should also include speculations on the potential 

results of the study. 

Writing the Final Paper

The Final Paper: 

1. Must be eight to ten double-spaced pages in length, and formatted 

according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center. 

2. Must include a title page with the following: 

a. Title of paper 

b. Student’s name 

c. Course name and number 

d. Instructor’s name 

e. Date submitted 

3. Must begin with an introductory paragraph that has a succinct thesis 

statement. 

4. Must address the topic of the paper with critical thought. 

5. Must end with a conclusion that reaffirms your thesis. 

6. Must use at least five scholarly sources, including a minimum of 

three from the Ashford Online Library. 

7. Must document all sources in APA style, as outlined in the Ashford 

Writing Center. 

8. Must include a separate reference page, formatted according to APA 

style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.
