A-4: Community Track What Is Culture and Why Is It Important?

Presenter: Dr. Carol Apt, SC State University

Culture is one of the most fundamental and important aspects of human life. The cultures in which people are raised affect how they think, feel, and behave in virtually all spheres of life. Our culture shapes how we view ourselves, as well as how others view us. Every society, from the smallest and the most primitive to the largest and most technologically advanced, has culture, and some have more than one culture. This presentation will examine what culture is, how people acquire culture, how cultures influence the lives of individuals, and how it can change over time. We will also consider some of the cultures that exist in the United States in the 21st century.

A-2: Clinical Track Legal Issues in Nursing

The laws that affect nursing practice encompass many sources of law. The following areas have been selected for the purpose of discussion in this workshop: State Law—The state’s administrative law is its Nurse Practice Act. Recent Board decisions will be reviewed. Civil/Tort Law covers Malpractice - If a nurse fails to meet the legal expectations for care, and the patient is harmed,; an action can be initiated against the nurse for damages; and Negligence— The failure to provide the care a reasonable person would ordinarily provide in a similar situation.

Presenter: Lois Wilson, JD, RN, Legal Nursing Consultant

Edolphus “Ed” Towns is in his 15th term in the United States House of Representatives .Congressman Towns

has been a leader in Washington serving as Chairman of the powerful Committee on Oversight and Government Reform in the 111th Congress where he led investigations of waste, fraud and abuse in government. In the current 112th Congress, he returned to his seat on the Energy and Commerce Committee, a seat he held since 1989. He will also remain on the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform as Ranking Mem-ber of the Subcommittee on Government Organization, Efficiency and Financial Management.

On Energy and Commerce, Congressman Towns serves on three sub-committees: Health; Communications, Technology and the Internet; and Commerce, Manufacturing and Trade. As a member of the Health Sub-committee, Congressman Towns is actively engaged in advancing health-care reform that provides enhanced benefits for millions of Americans and protecting Medicare and Medicaid.

In 2010 during the 111th Congress, Congressman Towns inaugurated the Congressional Social Work Caucus (CSWC) which he currently chairs. Sixty Members of the House of Representatives have joined the newly-created caucus including five Members who are professional so-cial workers. The CSWC was formed to provide a platform on the Hill for more than 600,000 social workers throughout the United States who positively impact the lives of the elderly, the disadvantaged, children, veterans, or other individuals in need of guidance and direction in their lives.

As leader of the Social Work Caucus, Congressman Towns has emerged as a champion for children and youth. He believes that the nation must continue to invest in the lives of young people in order to ensure future prosperity. He has spearheaded numerous forums on issues pertaining to children and youth and has introduced and co-sponsored legislation designed to support young people.

D-17: Community Track

The Beliefs and Behaviors of People

Raised in Poverty

Variations in income are not the only differences between people who are raised in poverty and those who are born into the middle class. Americans who grow up in impoverished communities learn very different lessons about life and about themselves, and exhibit beliefs and behaviors that are in stark contrast to those of the middle class. This presentation will examine the culture of poverty in America, and will provide insight into how the inter-generational transmission of that culture can serve as an impediment to the realization of The American Dream.

Presenter: Dr. Carol Apt, SC State University

Since the inception of United States only Franklin Roosevelt, Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon addressed directly the problems of and related to poverty. All others in national leadership roles have either ignored or exacerbated the problems. Exploring these models of past, policy options will be offered as solutions to the culture of poverty.

Presenter: Joe Benton, LMSW, National President, National Association of Black Social Workers

E-22: Clinical Track

Psychosocial Effects of War on Military

Families

Military life and mobilizations create extra opportunities for stress for the soldier, his/her family and for the community. In the military family, the unexpected deployment of a family member will challenge the family to adjust to the physical absence of their loved one. Military families face unique challenges when such deployment occurs. Unexpected events which can occur in the military family/community must be recognized and addressed, so that practical and enjoyable measures can be developed to create strong, health and resilient relationships. In addition the financial and legal issue faced by military families must be addressed. Some of these and other issue will be identified and discussed.
