In Chapter 7: The Environment – Part II, Hite and Seitz (2016) discuss the existing tension between development and the environment. Development brings economic growth as well as social and environmental changes. To a developing country, economic growth may be of a higher priority than the consequences to the long-term health of its citizens or its environment. On the other hand, poverty can also harm the environment such as how searching for land to farm contributes to deforestation. 

Do wealthy nations using the labor of developing nations have responsibilities to the people and environment of that country? Why or why not? Be sure to use examples of existing companies to support your response.

Review the posts of your classmates and respond to at least one other post, offering a substantive comment on that classmate’s position on the issue(s).

 Please READ and Follow Directions when writing this paper. There should be two parts to this paper a hypothetical case scenario and a intake and assessment form. Through research you should be able to find a free assessment form online with all the information on it. Points will be deducted for not following directions. Remember to combine your papers together as a whole and submit.

One of the major tasks in case management is to obtain information and effectively document that information.

For this part of your portfolio, you will develop a hypothetical case scenario based upon your project topic and create an intake and assessment form. The hypothetical case scenario will be used throughout the entire course project.

Part 1: Develop

Develop a two (2) page hypothetical case scenario on an individual client or a family. The scenario should be in depth and include all the pertinent information that is necessary to complete an intake and assessment form.

Part 2: Research

Conduct some online research on intake and assessment forms that are used in human services. Intake and assessment forms should include all pertinent information about the client and may vary greatly based on the agency.

Part 3: Create

Using information gained from your online research, create a one (1) page intake and assessment form.

Combine your hypothetical case scenario and intake and assessment form into a single Word document.

Use professional language including complete sentences and proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation throughout your paper. Be sure to cite any research sources in APA format. If you need assistance with APA format, refer to this Library and Learning Services APA Guide.
