Check Point Social Problems

Check Point Social Problems Problems are questions that come up as a result of physical service provisions that need to be taken into account when devising solutions. An example of this is out of all of the minority groups that are enrolled in the Unites States School System 60% of Asian students are failing in their courses. Policies are solutions that were established based on problems that were identified for the purpose of ensuring that the organization will meet the standard in which it was intended. An example of this is would be work study programs that would help the students that are failing in their courses to ensure that they succeed and that the problem that caused this issue could be effectively eliminated. A program is an established setting in which the purpose is to fulfill a goal. In this case the goal is to hep students that are struggling academically improve on their skills, and the established setting could be something like tutor sessions or after-school classes. A good example of a program that does this is The Slyvian Center because they have tutors there for those that are middle school through high school to help them in the courses that they need improvement in. There are several social issues that the United States needs to address. Some of those issues include racial tensions, elderly care, poverty, homelessness, and unemployment. Racial tensions have been going on for many years. I think that over recent years many people like to sweep things under the rug, but those issues still exist. People are very sensitive and do not know how to conduct conversions when it comes to race, and therefore people do not even know how to find solutions to this issue if they cannot even talk about it. More effective dialog needs to take place to dispel any incorrect information and stigmas that are prevalent in order to do away with

    In the Dred Scott case, Scott filed for a lawsuit to gain freedom for him and his family. He was once obtained a slave in a slave state, but his master had moved around and ended up in Illinois, which had been a free state in 1836. His rights that were being withheld from him were freedom. The way they pleaded their case was that he lived in a territory where slavery was illegal; therefore he can’t be enslaved again.…

    In Miranda v. Arizona (1966), the Supreme Court ruled that detained criminal suspects, prior to police questioning, must be informed of their constitutional right to an attorney and against self-incrimination. The case began with the 1963 arrest of Phoenix resident Ernesto Miranda, who was charged with rape, kidnapping, and robbery. Miranda was not informed of his rights prior to the police interrogation. During the two-hour interrogation, Miranda allegedly confessed to committing the crimes, which the police apparently recorded. Miranda, who had not finished ninth grade and had a history of mental instability, had no counsel present. At trial, the prosecution's case consisted solely of his confession. Miranda was convicted of both rape and kidnapping and sentenced to 20 to 30 years in prison. He appealed to the Arizona Supreme Court, claiming that the police had unconstitutionally obtained his confession. The court disagreed, however, and upheld the conviction. Miranda appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, which reviewed the case in 1966.…

    That the Supreme Court exercises a policy making role has been an established fact ever since Maybury vs. Madison defined the Court’s role in judicial review of existing law. By choosing which cases to review and by establishing precedents by way interpretation of a law’s meaning and applicability the Court influences the course of action adopted not only by government but by individuals and businesses who consider the implications of the Court’s actions. In adjudicating disagreements of alternative interpretations of a law the Supreme Court establishes policies which have implications extending beyond the specific case in question and into social policy at large. In choosing which cases to review the Court calls attention to certain issues…

    The Supreme Court was presented with the case of Fischer vs. The University of Texas where Abigail Fisher was suing the University for discrimination in their affirmative action based admissions process. The Supreme Court voted 7-1 and ruled to send the case back to the lower courts for further review and put off making any final decisions to change the U.S. policy on affirmative action, a “longstanding but fragile societal compromise, one that forbids quotas but allows using race as one factor among many in the admissions process” (Laptik). Both articles discussed in length the constitutionality of the race-based admissions process as well as explaining the Supreme Court’s position on the matter. The justices made statements that explained that the admissions programs must be subject to strict scrutiny where the it can be determined that classification based on gender, race and ethnicity occurs for the sole purpose of creating a diverse student population. The programs that use affirmative action in public universities are being scrutinized to ensure that their methods are a means to an end and serve to create diversity only. This issue will come before the Supreme Court again in the future and there will most likely be a more permanent ruling on the matter.…

    In the context of human service words sometimes take different meanings. A problem specifies the term that must be used in the eligibility rules determining who is and who is not entitled to benefits or services and specifies the general goals to be achieved. A good example of this would be determined if someone was eligible for Medicaid or needed another insurance program. A policy typically described as a principle or rule to guide decisions and achieve rational outcomes. The regulation of the practice of abortions would be a type of policy one might look into. A program is a plan of action to accomplish a specified end. This is very critical because the public and the individual legislator need to know what the interest of the group truly is. A new law being passed in the human service field would definatly be a good example of this (Chambers).…

    I chose Drug testing programs for welfare applicants. The reason I chose this is because I happen to agree with doing so. I disagree with the junction that the judge put in saying that it is “likely unconstitutional”. I feel this because I am a strong supporter in helping those who are in need, not those that are abusing the help. As a mother of two, and have been on state assistance for help, I often would see those that are known offenders of the system, and find it very disheartened over the fact that we are helping those that are not willing to help themselves.…
