Human Service Ethics: Critical Evaluation Of The NOHSE Guidelines

Part one, confidentiality:

I believe that NOHSE statement 3 that “Human Service professionals protect the clients’ right to privacy and confidentiality expect when such confidentiality would cause harm to the client or others, when agency guidelines state otherwise, or under other stated conditions. Professional are to inform clients of the limits of confidentiality prior to the onset of the helping relationship”, as per Kenyon, page 63, is ambiguous and problematic. This statement can serve the very best purpose of clients and Human Service organization, at the same time can infringe the very rights of clients and cause case worker to be considered not following state, federal, local and or organization policies.

Human Services Ethic: Principles of Ethical Decision Making

Preamble:

Human service as a social work profession is a widely developing field profession because of human deeds. Human needs are classified as unique because we are all unique, and we all use or need a unique ways to solve our problems. For sure no one has a formula to resolve all our problems, and to all of us, just like it is in the physics, chemistry or mathematics. But for sure we have a format that can be useful and applicable to some of us; since we are unique and requires unique approach to solve an individual ways, format cannot be applicable to all of us. However, it is in my attention that format of resolving our problems so as our clients’ is application of “ethical decision making” by relaying on ethical principles as are listed in the Kenyon text book page 7.

Human Services Ethic: Values Conflict Resolution Assessment (VCRA)

1. I want to be very successful in my academics with a lot of experience in the Social Work/Human Service field; in order to work with national and international organization as an expert and self employed consultant. I also want to spend as much time as possible with my family and relatives and mostly I don’t want to leave them alone when I go oversees or traveling as my job involves a lot of traveling; and when I become self employed as a social worker consultant it will require to go live oversees for sometime, and leave my family here because I will be going to the disaster and broken communities and develop social policies.

 Thanksgiving Turkey

Today millions of American will join their loved ones and family members to celebrate Thanksgiving Holiday. Many will travel by air, roads-highways and byways, railway and some by water ways. Thanksgiving is the breakthrough kick-off of the holiday season that consists of three major holidays in America; Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year.

Shopping deals, unveiling new products and services and people shop until when they drop; that means spending and earning revenues.

THE CHAGGA PEOPLE OF MOSHI, THE LAND OF KILIMANJARO, TANZANIA [EAST-AFRICA]

My Grands, Uncles, Aunties, Cousins and Relatives, I was not born yet.

My grands, father, Uncles, Aunts, Cousins and Relatives, I was still not born yet.

Chagga Supreme Council, #7 is uncle and 1st cousin to my father, interesting!

CHAGGA people are Bantu-speaking indigenous Africans and the third largest ethnic group in Tanzania. They live on the southern and eastern slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro (the volcanic mountain that is the highest mountain in Africa and second highest mountain the world after mountain Evarest). Mount Kilimanjaro is in the Kilimanjaro Region, its capital is Moshi, the Chagga Land. The relative wealth of Chagga people comes from the favorable climate of the area, also from the successful agricultural methods which include extensive irrigation systems and continuous fertilization practiced for thousands of years. Chagga people are one of the first tribes in the area to convert to Christianity something that may have given them social-economic advantage over other ethnic groups, due to better access to education and health care as that came with Christian missionaries.

America The Great:

America The Great is always refereed to as “American Pie”, “Opportunity”, “Freedom", "Individual Liberty", "Pursue For Happiness”, “American Dream” and so many more. These terms and many more reefers to the greatest opportunities that began when pilgrims arrived in the New World, also known as West Indies, after bravely escaped the atrocities and ternary from their homeland, then fought the colonialist, and concurred them, the founders, established the pillars of the democracy that now used as model of  forming government and governing principles all over the world as the rule of law; equal justice for all, freedom, civil/human rights, democracy, liberty, and opportunity for all peoples without regard to someone’s religion, race, nationality, faith,  culture and gender. America is the most welcoming nation of all nations in the world, and certainly, most oppressed people by their home countries, are welcomed to America and call her home  while  equally enjoying all the opportunities she bares. 

Nini Tatizo la Njaa na Hali duni Africa?

 

Nini tatizo la njaa na hali duni ya maisha ya Mwafrica? Nadhani taizo sio kitu kingine ila ni Mwaafrika peke yake kwani mazingira yanayomzunguka Mwafrica yanatengezwa na kuhimidiwa na Mwafrica peke yake. Na kama angeona kuna sababu ya mabadiliko ungeona matokeo yake kama dunia ilivyuoshuudia African Liberation Movement iliyochangia uhuru wa Africa na kuudhibiti Ukoloni. Vivyohivyo kama Waafrica wangetambua na kunuia kuachana na hali duni na njaa wange/watafanya kama walivyofanya wakombozi wa bara la Africa. Tatizo ni kwamba waafrica wajataka kutambua hali halisi ya maisha yao ndio inayochangia hali halisi waliyo nayo; matokeo yake wanataka kuilaumu dunia kwa matatizo yao. Dunia haikukata miti, dunia hakusema vijana kama nguvu kazi wahamie mijini wote kulundikana na maisha ya ho-he-hae na uchuuzi wa bidhaa za mchina/Asia, dunia hakusema kizazi hadi kizazi umasikini uridhiwe na waafrica, dunia hakusema rushwa iwe ndio mfumo wa uongozi wa Waafrica, dunia hakusema Waafrica waitegemee dunia ambayo ina hali halisi ya hewa mbaya mara dufu ya hali ya hewa ya Africa, dunia hakusema Waafrica wawe tegemezi wa watu wa nje kwa kila jambo, hata chakula chao, angali wanaweza kukipanda nyuma ya nyumba zao na kuishi raha mustaree..........

Another Twist On Steve Jobs, Unexpected Findings About His Father; What Is It In Regards To Fatherhood And Up-Bringing Of A Child In Our Community Today?

What a sad twist about Steve Jobs searching for his biological father? I would not want to be his biological father, never, even in a million years. We are talking about Apple Brainer here. Okay, we are discovering that his father was successful business man who was running a very popular and successful restaurant at Silicon Valley, CA. We all know what Silicon Valley, CA mean, the capital of the world’s electronics software inventions that transformed our ways of living into literally the digital generation. What is worse is that his father knew him, saw him come into his restaurant couple of times but never attempted to reach out, and when Jobs discovered that his father was that successful business man that he had been in his popular restaurant infuriated him. I wander what was taking place in the Apple genius’ mind? May he questioned himself without an answer that why his parents gave him up for adoption? He must have had million unanswered questions.

Teen Pregnancy Is Red Flag In The American Society:

As father, I have this growing fear from the alarming increasing number of teen pregnancy in the American Communities. What I don’t understand is what is the outcome of all these in the years to come? How will this shape our future society, generations and most of all the American's Standing in the world Stage? Are we going to enjoy the benefits of America as leading society that every one in the world is attracted to and aspired to be? Are we going to lead on researches, economic powers, military mighty, democratic supporters, and most of all liberators to the oppressed? Or we are going to be seen as bunch of clowns whose society is rooted from teen-pregnancy society, single moms’ generation and welfare dependency community? Because don’t get me wrong, society as whole is going to pay the price of these outstanding numbers of teen pregnancy because they are rooting for single moms/parents and most of all for welfare dependency that will completely crush the so called middle class in America, if any is left from the recent recessions, wall street  bail outs and housing bubbles hanging on the edge. Homeowners are so squeezed to bail out the communities, yet tax paying citizens are squeezed to sporadic spending. Teenagers today feel the only hope is to get pregnant and get welfare, this is hard knock life reality

Muammar Qaddafi is dead; because like many dictators, he did not understand the first principle that God gave us human through our first parents, Adam and Eva

Many said that he ruled by sword and today he certainly died by the sword. He was killed by his own people that he pretended that he stood for while he brought them tyranny for full four decades plus. Free mind is the best holly gift and incentive God ever gave to man kind. Gaddafi and many dictators failed to understand that freedom is the God’s given gift to every one regardless of who and what we are. You can fool some peoples for sometimes but no one can fool all peoples all the times. Therefore, true and God talented leaders understands that they have to assure that their peoples' true freedom is not touched and or taken away because God will revenge on such leader(s). This is why you saw that many African leaders , majority of them leading like dictators to their peoples, undemocratically did not understand and or appreciate the freedom of peoples of Libya; because they also don’t understand and or appreciate their own fellow citizen’s freedoms and the divine based on God’s instructions. But however, you saw democratic countries understood and supported peoples of Libya yawning and thirst of freedom they never have and Gaddafi was in their way to it; Gaddafi had to go for them to enjoy their freedom.  Remember king Herod was on the way of Jesus coming? But because Jesus had an alternative to move out and a come-back, God spared Herod, but when Herod became more arrogant to his state-men God punished Herod because no one can take  away what is given by God ungodly.

Steve Jobs death as role model to Fatherhood Life

Steve Jobs said That "Listen to your inner voices...some how they are right, stop living other people's life, ideas, dogma... Live your life like Each day is the last Day because some Day it is true... Even People who want To Go to heaven don Want to Die..." He was right because with such mindset in your head everyday you will never waste your Precious last Day In Life chasing wind and who knows what. That's what some people need, to be injected, in their brain and use their  potentials to Better Their future and their loved ones, especially when they are long gone. I mean that plan to leave wealth and wealth infrastructure for your family  instead of debts and losses. Take leasons from the Holly Bible, such as 1 Timothy 5:8, that if anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for his immediate family, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

GOP Politics On FEMA - The Irene Victims Are Real Souls In Need Right Now

How in the world GOP dare to cut FEMA's $$$ and try to bring it in its knees? Why they didn't do it during Spring when Mississippi River flooding that affected many of GOP constituency but now they see  it's okay to cut on Dem strong hold for Irene and Lee Victims? You know that up-here still people don't have roads, electricity or homes until today? You guys said no to Obama from his inauguration day anyways, and stop been  hypocrite. Yes he has done some wrong stuffs just like any other Precedents and human being;  but hypocrisy of GOP is  unprecedented and could be interpreted as unpatriotic and selfish because people are suffering, and these are good Americans, brothers and sisters. We all know history and dark side of this great nation, and yes there are some and few who cant believe that Black Man is in the "White House", but we have to be careful as nation because we are in this together as our founders said during Revolutionary War that " We will rise and fall together regardless" or FDR on Fear as Fear Itself. 

10 Years After September 11th 2001

The September 11th 2001 tragic, attack on American soil-the free world, is the day that changed all dynamics of our way of life and how we interact one another, from between individuals to among nations of the world.  Is the day that waked American and people of the world that terrorism is the number one  enemy of mankind. Today, 10 years later, we are coming together as we have always been, to remember the innocent lives that were lost and to once again comfort the families, friends and communities that endured such brutal attack from the cruelty of the terrorists. New Yorkers and Americans have proven terrorists(im) wrong, that attack on Americans will not tear apart the pillars of this nation as proclaimed by our founding father; that “We The People…… We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Declaration_of_Independence Once again as it is in our History book, Pearl Harbor attack that lead American involvement in WWII, these values still stands firm and unshaken. OBL and his followers has bee brought into higher justice and “United We Stand” as we will always stand, and nations behind terrorism are rethinking their tires, if not on the run at large. Thank you America.

Problem 3:

Why not charge people full price for vaccinations? Charging people full price for vaccinations is not right because it has such a large benefit for the population in prevention of disease versus only
helping the user for just a small price and protection. (Getzen 2006, p.353), it is not worth making it out of affordability for vaccinations due to it being a general benefit for the public’s health. History proves right that there are tangible benefits from immunizations, such as polio, chicken pox, MMR, and so on. These results are major because the vast use of vaccinations has tremendously reduced the number of people who get sick from diseases that can be prevented by vaccines; therefore the wide use of vaccinations can reduce the risk of exposure to disease from others who have been immunized and contain pandemics and epidemics.  However, when private market indicate shortage of the immunization as it is possible due to the capital and profit invested, it is imperative for the government to jump in and subsidize the shortage because its repacashion is fetal. For example the 2009 Swine Flue fear to the US and the world we witnessed US government and governments of the world efforts to make the vaccine available for its people and this is benefit for the all.

A Prayer For Fathers To Remember

1] Prayer is not a "spare wheel" that you pull out when in trouble; it is a "steering wheel" that directs us in the right path throughout life.

2] Do you know why a car's WINDSHIELD is so large & the rear view mirror is so small? Because our PAST is not as important as our FUTURE. So, look ahead and move on.

Steve Harvey The Greatest Example Of The Fatherhood Life To The Needy Boys

Ladies and Gentleman, Mr. Steve Harvey, as usual and always brings joy to fatherhood spirit lovers and mostly to the boys that craving for fatherhood figure in their lives so that they too one day can pass on such spirit to their own kids, and the dream lives-on. It is hard to be a man without been raised by one. Manhood spirit, especially fatherhood is the tradition that is passed on to us and nurtured from boyhood to manhood. Too often fatherhood responsibly get confused to boyhood and mostly manhood. One can be both man and a boy but completely fail to be a father. Fatherhood comes with greater responsibilities  that other innocent lives/life depends on you. Fatherhood is the fine line to walk-through because it does indeed impact other lives/life (wife's/mother's, child's/children) dramatically; and especially if fatherhood role is misconstrued.  Fatherhood life is the maturity of both boyhood and manhood in a series manner. Often one cant skip boyhood  and or manhood and become successful in fatherhood. Also one dont learn manhood or Fatherhood from school, rather by been raised by one. My worry is that too many boys stuck in between childhood and manhood and dont get to become fatherhood even though they bear children.  Fatherhood is not only the ability of man to bear children, rather to bear and raise them responsibly. This is the great dilemma of our society today that we need a lot of Steve Harvey now to transform this dilemma and make corrections before we loose bearings of this very important quality and valuable society variable.

Happy Birthday America.

Today, July the 4^th 2011, we are celebrating, USA, her 234^th year after the independence. The most notably terms of the USA declaration of the independence, were “We The People” as an opening statement. These are the sacred words in the living Constitution of the USA. These word helped the Founding Fathers to put the greatest foundation on freedom, individual liberty and pursue of happiness that are strengthen in the bill of rights of which the democratic world enjoys today. Thanks be to America, the Founding Fathers, who yawning for peace to all without discrimination. What makes America great is when  you can find trace of every creed, person, nationality, tribe, clan, tradition, language and nationality in America, and living free life  as functional society without any discrimination.  They all feel welcomed because of the living document that governs this greatest nation of all, The USA Constitution. It solemnly supports all peoples regardless so long one is a law abiding citizen, something that foster immigration from all corners of the world and promoting individual liberty. The combination of these values, freedom, individual liberty and pursue of happiness makes the American society stand firm and stronger always. These are truly human rights values that every free mind aspires to attain at any cost. As we seek to form the perfect union, “United We Stand” on these fronts. We can be distracted but we cannot be forgotten neither defeated because she helps us all forge the common value of all peoples. I dare to say that there is no any other nation like America in the world, and there is not even a clue of any nation close to America. If one wants to see the world, then I urge you to come to America because you will save yourself trips to many continents, countries, communities, creeds, tribes, beliefs,  traditions, clans and families all over the world while you could see and experience them in the sub-world America. America is indeed the pillar for the Democracy, Freedom, Liberty and Self Governance to all people and without discrimination. History will continue to judge American as it has been promoting these values since its beginning in spite of the road blocks it faces both internal and external.
