\nWhat we want to see:
\nThe work must be fully referenced with in-text citations and a reference list at the end. We

\nwill find a link to this document on the main page of every unit, under the ‘Assessments’ section.
\nCorrect academic writing and referencing are essential tasks that you need to learn. We
\nrecommend a minimum of ten references.
\nReferencing: References are assessed for their quality. You should draw on quality academic
\nsources, such as books, chapters from edited books, journals etc. Your textbook can be used as a
\nreference, but not the Study Guide and lecture notes. We want to see evidence that you are capable
\nof conducting your own research. Also, in order to help markers determine students\u2019 understanding
\nof the work they cite, all in-text references (not just direct quotes) must include the specific page
\nnumber\/s if shown in the original.
\nResearching: You can search for peer-reviewed journal articles, which you can find in the online
\njournal databases and which can be accessed from the library homepage. Reputable news sites
\nsuch as The Conversation (https:\/\/theconversation.com\/au\/health), online dictionaries and online
\nencyclopedias are acceptable as a starting point to gain knowledge about a topic. Government
\ndepartments, research institutes such as the National Health and Medical Research Council
\n(NHMRC), international organisations such as the World Health Organisation (WHO) and local not
\nfor profit organisations such as the Cancer Council are also good resources.
\nFormatting: The assessment MUST be submitted electronically in Microsoft Word format. Other
\nformats may not be readable by markers. Please be aware that any assessments submitted in other
\nformats will be considered LATE and will lose marks until it is presented in Word.

Assessment 2: Power Point Presentation and Report – Analyzing Australian Social Problems through the Lens of Community Development<\/p>\n
Introduction:
\nCommunity development is a vital field that amalgamates theory and practice to address pressing social issues. This assessment aims to identify a specific social problem in Australia and apply relevant theories and principles of community development to propose evidence-based solutions for change. The chosen social issue, known as an “Australian social problem,” could encompass homelessness, domestic violence, child abuse and neglect, unemployment, an aging population, among others. Additionally, we will explore how certain segments of the population are disproportionately affected and the potential pathways for change.<\/p>\n
I. Identifying the Australian Social Problem
\nTo begin the assessment, the selected Australian social problem shall be clearly defined, and its significance in the context of community development work will be highlighted. This section will draw upon scholarly sources to establish a comprehensive understanding of the issue’s root causes and its impact on individuals and society.<\/p>\n
II. Theories and Principles of Community Development
\nIn this section, we will delve into the theoretical framework that underpins community development. We will explore various theories, such as the Social Capital Theory, the Community Capacity Building Model, and the Asset-Based Community Development approach, to name a few. The application of these theories to the chosen Australian social problem will be critically analyzed, emphasizing how they align with community development principles.<\/p>\n
III. Disproportionate Impact on Specific Population Segments
\nCertain subgroups within the Australian society may be disproportionately affected by the identified social problem. This section will investigate the demographics and characteristics of these vulnerable segments, drawing on recent data from reputable sources. Understanding these disparities is crucial for developing targeted and effective solutions through community development strategies.<\/p>\n
IV. Evidence-Based Solutions for Change
\nProposing evidence-based solutions is central to effective community development. This section will explore successful case studies and interventions that have addressed similar social problems in Australia. Emphasis will be placed on interventions that have shown positive outcomes and have potential for scalability and sustainability. Furthermore, the role of collaboration between government agencies, non-profit organizations, and the community in implementing these solutions will be highlighted.<\/p>\n
Conclusion:
\nThe conclusion will summarize the key findings and proposed solutions. The importance of community development in addressing Australian social problems will be reiterated, emphasizing the need for evidence-based approaches and equitable solutions for vulnerable population segments. Finally, this assessment will underscore the significance of interdisciplinary collaboration and continuous evaluation of interventions in achieving lasting social change.<\/p>\n
