Social History Client Case
I. Introduction
Client: Jaqueshia Steele
Chronological Age: 8 year(s), 1 month(s), and 5 days.
Religion: Baptist
Date of Birth: December 20, 2001
Race: African American
School and Grade: T.J. Harris Elementary 4th Grade
II. Individual Client Profile A. Brief Physical Description of Client Jaqueshia is a petite, average girl with very short, natural hair. When I first met her, I realized her hair was unevenly cut. Her clothes were fitting very tight on her, which were inappropriate for a 4th grader. Her shoes were very nice and clean. It was very evident that she took care of her shoes by keeping them clean. She had on the same color socks as her shirt and shoes were. She coordinated her clothes very well. Jaqueshia teeth were in bad shape. They were broken in the front and a few visible cavities on the side. When I first met Jaqueshia, I immediately thought she was defiant and had some major issues she was dealing with. Her first look at me was not a good one at all. She rolled her eyes at me several times whenever she caught me looking at her. As she rolled her eyes, I witnessed her mumbling little things. When she got up to walk to the restroom, she turned around and caught me looking at her. She stopped in mid step and turned to stare at me. I did not know what to think of her actions and this child until after talking with the principal to learn more about her. Once I spoke with the principal, I learned that my first thoughts were correct; she had some major issues she was dealing with. At this point, my heart really went out to her. I inquired more information from the principal. With a determination to empower Jaqueshia, I asked the principal if it was possible to work one on one with her. She assured me it was ok, but she was skeptical as if I would gain a rapport from

    Children are so fresh and should be the happiest of us all. It absolutely breaks my heart to see someone so worn and torn at such a young age, whether it be a fictional character in the realm of Law& Order or a child I’ve had personal experience with. Over the summer I got matched with a little buddy. Her mom is a single parent, works, and is putting herself through school with two children in elementary school. My buddy would hardly talk to me at first even though her mom said she has never been shy in her life; you could tell she didn’t understand how I really fit in the picture. But now, just a couple months later, she has completely come out of her shell and even skipped her way to my car the other day just to go hang out at my house. This is why I want to be a social worker. I want to use my education and opportunities to help these children and their families through the rough patches, and be a support for them. If no one else will pay attention to them, I will. If no one else is going to tell them how spectacular they are, I will. If no one else is going to help them realize their full potential, I…

    The characters: Tre Styles and Mookie are two young African-Americans in the films “Boyz N The Hood” and “Do The Right Thing” respectively. Both films were released around the same time period, with DO THE RIGHT THING being released in 1989, and BOYZ N THE HOOD in 1991. Both films are coming of age tales for Tre and Mookie, they both reside in a low-income, predominantly black neighborhood. Both films share a common theme: the idea of hopelessness and survival as a young black male in the “hood.” Both men are a product of what can only be described as “urban decay;” they are trying to find their place in a society that doesn’t care much for their well being or success. BOYZ N THE HOOD and DO THE RIGHT THING have a common message: that race relations in America during the early 90’s are abysmal, and there is little hope for success for a young black man in the ‘hood.…

    Gangs are coastally occurring in life they have no discrimination on race or gender causing any one to turn to the path of gang. Many gangs are usually created based on specific race making it easier for people to feel secure when it comes to join them. However as it is stated, “the 18th Street gang was the first Hispanic gang to break the racial membership barrier. Membership was originally open to Latinos. Although most members tend to be of Latino descent, membership has opened to other backgrounds, including Central American, African American, Middle Eastern, Asian, Caucasian, and Native American.” This causes the growth of the 18th street gang to grow and expand larger into the city of Los Angeles.…

    The Battle of Brandywine was fought in Philadelphia on September 11, 1777 during the American Revolution. The enemy was the British soldiers who sought to capture Philadelphia, the revolutionary state. The British came strong with 17,000 troops under the command of General Howe. The Americans, lead by General George Washington were outnumbers with 10,000 militia men. In analyzing this battle, I will discuss several key factors in terms of METT-TC, OAKOC, and the Principles of War that influenced the outcome of the British capturing Philadelphia (To emphasize these principles I will italicize METT-TC, OAKOC).…

    In the Gangs of New York, there was a massive influx of immigrants to the U.S due to the persecution and danger in Europe. New York was the largest port city in the U.S. so they received most of them. This very large increase in immigrants made many American citizens fearful of losing their jobs. They began to discriminate in an attempt to force them out. Members of The Dead Rabbits gang fled their respective homelands to escape persecution and danger; in reality they were met with more opposition and violence than they originally faced.…

    As an old woman, Aminata Diallo is brought to London, England, in 1802, by abolitionists who are petitioning to end the slave trade. As she awaits an audience with King George, she recounts her remarkable life on paper, beginning with her life in Bayo, in western Africa, prior to being abducted from her family at age 11, seeing the death of her mother and father, and being marched in a coffle of captives to the coast along with others from her village. Chekura, a boy of similar age who assists the slave catchers, is at the last minute abducted himself and forced to join Aminata on the slave ship. Despite suffering humiliation, witnessing atrocities, enduring squalor and languishing in starvation, Aminata survives the passage to America because she is able to apply the knowledge and skills passed on to her by her parents, especially the ability to “catch” babies and to understand some African languages. In South Carolina, Aminata is auctioned off to an indigo plantation, along with a man from her village who has lost his senses during the ocean crossing. She learns the language of the “buckra” through the teachings of Georgia, an American-born slave, as well as from Mamed, the overseer of the plantation. Daily, Aminata must navigate the new dangers of disease and the eye of the plantation master while she searches for a way to return to her homeland. As she carries Chekura’s child, she is warned that Master Appleby could take it away at any time. Sure enough, at ten months, Aminata’s son, Mamadu, is sold by Appleby and Chekura also disappears. Stricken with grief, Aminata falls into a depression and refuses to work on the plantation. Appleby sells her to Solomon Lindo, the indigo inspector of the region, and she departs for a new life in Charles Town where Lindo promises to treat her as a “servant” rather than as a “slave” in that she works for wage and pays rent to Lindo. During rioting in New York City that coincides with the outbreak of the…

    Organized crime is groupings of highly centralized enterprises run by criminals for the purpose of engaging in illegal activity, most commonly for monetary profit. Organized crime groups are motivated by money rather than ideology, a characteristic that distinguishes them from organized terrorism. The movie Goodfellas by Martin Scorsese is an example of what organized crime is. Similar to many other mafia movies Goodfellas exaggerates truths and adds finesse to improve the movie.…

    Jaelee really enjoys having stories read to her. She pays attention to the stories during story time in her classroom. Jaelee’s behavior has changed from my first observation of her. The first day I observed Jaelee she could not sit still and had a hard time focusing and listening to her teachers. Jaelee has never displayed that type of behavior again when I would go to see her. Her teacher Ms. Reta had said if someone is giving Jaelee attention she does not act out, it is only when she does not get attention does she misbehave. This is the reason I have not seen Jaelee misbehave when I am there. When I am not there Ms. Reta has told me that Jaelee still has a hard time doing what she is told, especially during nap time.…

    The night I was born Folks was the night I died. As my brethren cast my body into the lake of Fire and Knowledge I was baptized. One with my nation by my Kings blessed. With a Pitchfork in my hand and a Six on my chest. Others will speak my name and know the name of Death. I live by the Nations laws, die by the Disciples Creed. Loyal to my Nation, loyal to my breed. The day my Flag falls then so does my body fall. But my Nation will always stand in the shine of the Six. All is One, One is All! Spread your wings and raise them high, G's and D's shall never die. Hold your Six above your head. Raise King David from the dead. The Chairman Hoover a King like him. About that struggle limb to limb. Hold a firm grip to your Sword. Raise your Pitchforks we are at war. Death before dishounor, Folks alive! About that Six, no love for five. Brothers of the Struggle we have won. All ain't well but All is One! As I pray to God and all the best, when I am dead and gone tell my Folks to put me to rest. I will leave this earth so let things be well, I am a loyal Folk in heaven or hell. Life on this earth was evil to me, so when I lay down just put me to rest with a Six Point Star and two shotguns laid upon my chest.…
