PPT slides uploaded, and Kutateladze video linked.
Besiki Kutateladze Is America Really So Punitive?, explores multidimensional measurement of state punitiveness to explore how harsh some state penal policies are compared to others. Punitiveness was measured with 44 variables, including average prison sentences, life imprisonment, whether a state used the death penalty, prison conditions, juvenile justice policies, and so on. Kutateladze’s examination of these variables revealed that Florida was the most punitive, and Maine was the least punitive. The data also suggest that the American South is highly punitive, the West and the Midwest moderately punitive, and the Northeast the least punitive of all the regions.
Please read Tonry / Brodeur and others for analytical approaches to the complexities of explaining comparative punitiveness.
Two different analyses on the influence of religion on punishment can be seen in Melossi (2001) where he writes of the importance of ‘cultural embeddedness’ and Savelsberg (2004), who takes a more institutional view. Papers uploaded.

[order_calculator]Students will write a 5- to 7-page (excluding the title page, abstract, and references) paper discussing a case vignette provided by the instructor and integrating relevant information from a journal article(s) assigned by the instructor. This paper will be written in stages.
In Reamer‘s article on boundary issues in social work, he identifies five different themes of boundary issues, distinguishing problematic boundaries from those that are not, and offers guidelines for practitioners to manage boundary issues that they encounter during their practice.
Your tasks in this assignment are as follows:
1. Read Reamer’s article.
2. Read the case study supplied by your instructor.
Mark your case study to identify each action by the social worker that constitutes a boundary crossing or a boundary violation
Place each of the identified actions into one of Reamer’s categories. (Note: there is AT LEAST one boundary crossing/violation per category.
Select at least THREE of these actions/categories to include in your paper that are in direct support of YOUR thesis.
3. Apply key concepts from Reamer’s article to the case scenario provided by the instructor by writing a 5 to 7 page essay that discusses:
your claim (thesis) about ethics and dual relationships based on this article and the other research and thinking you have done
support of your claim through citations from your research, and
an analysis of the case study, in which you describe how the social worker’s actions in the case study constitutes either a boundary crossing or a boundary violation, and whether those actions were ethical or unethical based on NASW Code of Ethics guidelines. You will describe at least three different classes of boundary issues in your paper.

[order_calculator]This semester you will create an electronic portfolio about hunger problem in US. You will collect reports, news stories, data, and other information from the news media throughout the semester that is related to hunger problems in US. You should include materials that would help a reader understand the hunger problems in US from a variety of perspectives. Materials included in the portfolio should help an audience with little knowledge of the hunger problems in US and better understand the context, interventions, possible solutions, and the future.
Portfolio Introduction: This will be the first page of your portfolio. To begin the portfolio, you are required to write up to one page on why you selected this particular topic as your focus for the portfolio.( I have already selected the topic, it is hunger problems in US) This will be a personal response. For instance, you might explain how you’ve been interested in learning more about educational policy since you volunteered at a school, or that you’ve wanted to further examine policies and programs related to aging in place because your grandmother is dealing with this issue, and so on. Give some indication as to why this is an important topic worthy of your research.
I have already finished the first Entries, It is an example.
Portfolio Entries: The intent of this portfolio is to allow you to gather information (as stated above) on hunger problems in US. These entries should follow the guidelines listed below: Social Issue/Policy Portfolio Assignment Guidelines Social Work 1120Portfolios will consist of a minimum of 10 entries. Entries may consist of text (i.e. articles from newspapers, websites, magazines, etc.); audio visual (i.e. video clips of TV news programs); or audio (i.e. podcasts, radio news programs, etc.). You are required to have a mix of media. No more than 30% (3/10) of the entries should consists of old content. In other words, the majority of the content should be current and should have been created/posted after the start of the semester/term. Consider the various perspectives you include and try to keep the portfolio as balanced and well rounded as possible. In other words, consider all sides of an IPP.
Each entry should consist of the following: 1. Source and link (or text). Where was it retrieved from and when? (original source and date) Include the date it was created/posted/written, NOT the date you read it or found it online. The link should be fully operational at the time of submission. 2. Why did you decide to include it? What value does it add to the portfolio? How does it help one better understand the IPP? (Should be answered in about a paragraph.) 3. Provide a brief summary of the piece. What is the main point of the piece? (This should be a short, up to 10-sentence paragraph.) 4. Depending on the nature of your entry (i.e. if it is about a policy or program meant to address the problem, or if it is about the social problem itself) answer at least one of the following that you believe to be the most relevant and appropriate. (Questions should be answered briefly in approximately 1 – 3 paragraphs.) a. How does this relate to the history and/or development of social welfare policies/programs in this area? b. What is role of the federal and/or state government in the passage/implementation of the identified policy/program? c. What ideologies, theories, paradigms, values and/or beliefs are demonstrated in this entry? d. Identify the financial, organizational and administrative structures that influence the delivery of the described social service. e. Discuss how forms and mechanisms of poverty, oppression and/or discrimination are impacted by this policy/program. f. Discuss how this IPP helps to empower at-risk and vulnerable populations.
General Summary/Reflection
The portfolio project will end with a general summary of your personal reflections on what you learned on.

[order_calculator]Rear Window (1954) is one of director Alfred Hitchcock’s most successful and well-known films. Upon its initial release it was both a critical and commercial success and its reputation as one of the Hitchcock’s masterpieces has grown over the decades since. In a recent AFI (American Film Institute) poll, Rear Window came in at #42 on the list of the 100 greatest films ever made with three other Hitchcock films in the top 100: Psycho (#18), North by Northwest (#40) and Vertigo (#61). It is worth mentioning that in a similar BFI (British Film Institute) poll conducted a year later, Rear Window was ranked at #53 (interestingly enough in a tie with North by Northwest) whilst first place was actually taken by Vertigo. This points to a couple of interesting issues, not least of which is the unreliability of these kinds of polls! At the same time however, the ubiquitous presence of Hitchcock movies in any sort of “greatest ever film” list it is a testament not only to his abilities as a filmmaker but also the longevity of a career that spanned over 50 years. But it also needs further note that the four films mentioned above were all made between 1954 and 1960 and it is really these years that are considered Hitchcock’s golden period.
Hitchcock was a consummate filmmaker and a paradigmatic example of what is known as an auteur. He was obsessively concerned with every aspect and element of his films’ production from the editing to the set design to the costume to the sound production. He would meticulously storyboard every shot and scene before a single foot of film had been recorded. Though he frequently worked with the same male actors in numerous films (James Stewart appeared in four of his movies) Hitchcock is most well-known for the ubiquitous presence of a succession “ice-cool blondes” such as Eve-Marie Saint, Ingrid Bergman, TippiHedren, Janet Leigh, Doris Day, Kim Novak and, of course, Grace Kelly. In a series of interviews with the French director Francois Truffaut, Hitchcock acknowledged this preference for a certain type of blonde actress because their icy aloofness offered (as Truffaut put it) “the paradox between the inner life and cool surface.”
This paradox points us towards an interesting and productive way to think about film generally which is to consider the relationship between surface and depth. In other words, and as the readings in your coursepack demonstrate, film is a complex, complicated, and multi-layered creative form. Even the most seemingly straightforward and traditional narrative film such as The Lion King (1994) contains layers of meaning that might not be immediately apparent if all we do is get sucked in by the story line and the emotional life of the characters. What makes Hitchcock such an interesting filmmaker is that he builds into his films any number of oblique references and visual symbols designed to add depth to the film and enhance our enjoyment as spectators while, at the same time, offering us an intellectual as well as an aesthetic and emotional experience.
In view of the brief notes above and with reference to the readings in your coursepack combined with your own research into Alfred Hitchcock and Rear Window, please respond to the following questions:
1. In the context of film history and criticism, what is an auteur?
2. What is meant by the term genre? What genre is Rear Window and what recognizable elements are present in the film that help to identify its generic identity?
3. What are the principal themes in Rear Window? In other words, what is the film about? Bear in mind that this is a different issue than thinking about what happens in the film (though they are closely related of course). What are the bigger ideas to which the film is pointing us?
4. Identify a number of different analytical positions from which we can approach any film. Define each of them briefly and explain why a feminist perspective has been used so frequently to explain Rear Window.
5. Rear Window is now nearly 60 years old. To what extent has it maintained is ability to create fear, panic, and tension in an audience? Do you think it would be a “better” film if Hitchcock had had access to the kinds of seamless special effects we see in modern movies?
6. Who was Sigmund Freud and why might he so frequently be associated with the films of Alfred Hitchcock?
