Assignment 1: Eating Disorders

For this Assignment, choose one peer-reviewed research study about eating disorders that focuses on a minority group of adolescents. Consider connections between physiological development, adolescence, and eating disorders.

· Submit a 2-page paper for which you articulate a position on eating disorders in adolescent girls from diverse racial and cultural experiences.

Assignment 2: Multiracial Discrimination

Dalmage (2013) writes, "Parents and teachers should be aware of the unique forms of discrimination faced by multiracial children and the White supremacist system in which discrimination flourishes" (p. 101). As social workers, we should be aware of our own understanding of what it means to be multiracial in society. This awareness includes a review of our own potential biases that might exist. We need to challenge our own personal ideas about how we categorize individuals and those assumptions that follow along with those categories. Rather, we must respect our client's experience as a multiracial person in the world, beginning with asking him or her how they would define themselves when completing an intake or assessment form. Further, a social worker must be aware of the many forms of racism and prejudice a person with a multiracial background might experience. As Dalmage discusses, judgment comes from many sides with different intentions and expectations. Being aware of the particular forms of racism that a person who is multiracial will experience will give you the ability to do your best to understand their experience and empathize.

· Submit a 2-page paper. Describe the impact of discrimination on individuals of multiracial backgrounds.

· Describe the impact of biracial/multiracial or multiethnic distinction on our society.

· Justify your response. How do these distinctions relate to social work practice with individuals, families, groups, and communities?

· Be sure to use APA formatting and references from the Learning Resources and two additional peer-reviewed resources from the Walden library about the discrimination against biracial and multiracial individuals.
