Child Abuse in Homes of Substance Abusers

Research clearly indicates a connection between substance abuse and child maltreatment. Among confirmed cases of child maltreatment, 40 percent involve the use of alcohol or drugs. An estimated 480,000 children are mistreated each year by a caretaker who has alcohol or drug problems. Additionally, alcohol and drug problems are factors in a majority of cases of emotional abuse and neglect.

Answer the following:

  • Given these statistics, why do you think a more concerted effort is not made in the media to make citizens aware of the association between substance abuse and child abuse?
  • Choose one of the following audiences, and describe a plan to heighten awareness of this problem:
    • Grade and high school students
    • Parent or child organizations such as Girl Scouts or Boy Scouts
    • Welfare recipients
  • Include three action points for implementing this awareness plan nationwide to the chosen audience.  Be sure to specify:
    • Who will deliver the information?
    • How will the information be delivered?
    • What systems will be put in place for support if needed by participants?
  • Include one additional action point to address prevention strategies in the population chosen above.

Describe how you will practically interact with CPAN to install the modules that you have identified.

Big Data Datacenter was impressed with your previous examples of system commands and is now looking at the project from a more strategic approach. The team is looking at you to show the big picture and explain how everything will work together. The requirement is an analysis on the following:

  • Identify modules from CPAN that can support a graphical user interface (GUI), network protocol, and database adapters. In your analysis, demonstrate how these modules will make interacting with the system more human-friendly in support of maintaining servers in the data center.
  • Describe how you will practically interact with CPAN to install the modules that you have identified.
  • Provide the syntax to create your own custom module that lends itself to being reused. Because the company is focused on managing servers, you might consider a module based on the following examples, but you are free to create your own:
    • Executes system commands to retrieve system metrics like CPU utilization
    • Reads information from a flat file and then inserts into a database
    • Connects to a database and retrieves reporting informationBuilding on your previous work, it is time to start showing how Perl can be used to manage the servers. The chief information officer (CIO) is excited about your work so far and wants to see more.Pick 3 system commands and provide the following:
      • A brief description of the command and why you might use it
      • How you will invoke the commands through Perl and why (System, Exec or Backtick)
      • Sample code showing how you would use the command

      Your work on connecting to a database has not gone unnoticed. There is a growing interest to see better reporting, and Perl may be the answer. Create a table in your database with the attached spreadsheet as your guide, and generate the following reports:

      • Find all servers with CPU utilization above (>) 90%.
      • Find the average memory usage for all servers.
      • Show the server with the most memory utilization.
      • Show the server with the least amount of disk free.

      Provide a brief analysis on why the above metrics may be useful. You can also simply cut and paste the Perl commands that you are using into a Word document.

      Note: The project should be completed in Word and should be professional in appearance and free of errors. Think of this as a memo to management where you are demonstrating your capabilities in this area.

Describe how your social style affects your listening skills and how you can improve as a listener. Describe how style flexing can assist with communication effectiveness.

For this unit assignment, write an essay on social styles following the steps below.

  1. Open the “Identifying Social Style” inventory (Word document) by clicking here. Answer each question as to whether you feel each item describes you, using the scale of 1 for Strongly Disagree to 5 for Strongly Agree. On the second page of the form, use the two charts to tally your scores. For example, if you marked a question as 2 – Disagree, then write two points for that question in the appropriate chart. The first chart determines your assertiveness score and the second chart determines your responsiveness score. Scores above 34 indicate high assertiveness or responsiveness. Scores between 26 and 34 indicated moderate assertiveness. Scores below 26 indicate low assertiveness or responsiveness.
  2. Using your scores as a jumping-off point for the essay, begin your essay by describing different ways of responding to others, including what steps you would need to style flex.
  3. Share your scores with a family member or friend. Evaluate his or her perceptions in your essay. How did he or she consider the scores accurate or not accurate? What perceptions or suggestions did he or she have about your social style?
  4. Describe how your social style affects your listening skills and how you can improve as a listener. Describe how style flexing can assist with communication effectiveness.

Your essay should be a minimum of three pages, not counting the title or reference pages. Remember to use APA style with citations and references from the textbook and other sources.
