Assignment 1 meets the following course objectives:

• Apply a sociological perspective to the social world.
• Analyze contemporary social issues using the sociological imagination and use sociological theories and concepts to analyze everyday life.
• Demonstrate the ability to identify, locate, and retrieve information related to the topics in the course.
• Describe culture and socialization

Purpose

The primary goal of this exercise is to apply your developing sociological knowledge and skills to the analysis of the process of socialization.

Writing Expectations

This should be 4-6 pages long, double-spaced, 12pt font (arial or times new roman), with 1″ margins.

Instructions:

Describe and analyze the process of socialization. Begin with responding to the question “Who Am I?” In your description, make sure to incorporate the concepts we have addressed in the course, such as roles, statuses, group membership, etc.  Your response to this question should be at least 1+ page in length.  Next, analyze at least 4 agents of socialization that have affected your development as an individual, focusing on childhood socialization into adulthood.  Consider, for example, the ways in which the family, religion, media, peers, and education have influenced your development, opportunities, and life choices. Your analysis of the process of socialization should be 3+ pages in length and incorporate at least 4 sociological concepts or theories covered in this course (hint: sociological concepts should be clearly identified and then applied.  You are encouraged to use and cite sources here.  Any paraphrasing or direct quotes used from another source should include APA formatted in-text citations and a full reference at the end of the essay.  Examples of related concepts and theories include the self, moral development, nature and nurture, and resocialization). 

In 200 words or more, create a post that fully
addresses the following.

Falsification of records and billing are serious offenses and must be treated as such. As a health administrator, you will be called upon to monitor staff to be sure that records and billing are accurate.

In this scenario, consider that you are the assistant manager of operations for the Smith Home Health Care Services. Part of your job is to do impromptu visits where internal audits are completed as a measure to monitor the home health nurses and aides for the company.

You have been observing Barbara Smithers, who has been a home health aide since the company was established in 1995. You notice, before one of your monitoring visits, that Barbara’s billing totals seem higher than the average worker. When you observe her home services and compare them to the services rendered, there is a discrepancy. Going back in her service records, this has been a pattern for at least 4 years. You report this to your supervisor, Ron James. Mr. James meets with Barbara, who finally admits that she has been “padding” the billing for at least 10 years, at the demand of nursing supervisor, Donna Strickland. Mr. James asks you to sit in on a conference with Ms. Strickland and Ms. Smithers and contribute to questioning them and helping make a final decision.

• If accusations turn out to be true, what would be your recommendation in this case be to the Mr. James? What records do you need to review before the conference? Be sure to cite standards from the False Claims Act.
• How did the Service fail in its responsibility in monitoring Barbara? Should the facility also be held responsible?
• Could the Service have avoided this situation? Does 4 years of potential fraudulent billing seem a reasonable time period for no one to notice?
• What are the consequences of this behavior? Is there a criminal case here? What about civil liability? Are there any non-monetary consequences this Service should now be worried about

In two different paragraph with no less than 100 pages give your personal opinion to and

I would remind Mr. James, that they both violented the false claims act, that caused fraudulent billing, in the way, that one provided the remuneration and the other one received it. My recommendation for Mr. James would be to suspend both employees immediately, until an investigation was done, then terminate them upon guiltiness. I would then suggest calling the police and reporting them. I would also recommend that both should be excluded from participating in the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Before the conference, I would review the home service records and billing records (Showalter, 2017).

“The standards of the false claims act includes the following:  

1. Knowingly presents, or causes to be presented, to an officer or employee of the United States, a false or fraudulent claim for payment or approval.
2. Knowingly makes, uses, or causes to be made or used, a false record, or statement to get a false or fraudulent claim paid or approved by the government.
3. Conspires to defraud the Government by getting a false or fraudulent claim allowed or paid.
4. Knowingly makes, uses, or causes to be made or used, a false record or statement to conceal, avoid, or decrease an obligation to pay or transmit money or property to the government” (Showalter, 2017).

The service failed in its responsibility in monitoring Barbara by not following the corporate compliance programs. When having an ineffective corporate compliance program carries the consequences of ethical and illegal activities occurring in the company. The facility should be held responsible for the fraudulent billing activity of both women because it has gone on for 10 years. I think the home service could have avoided the situation if all employees were given notices of new policies and they were acknowledged and understood the rules of the law. I also think if the meeting were done on the corporate compliance programs, then it may have avoided the fraudulent billing from the two employees.  I think that 4 years is too long not to notice that fraudulent activity was going on. I think 6 months to a year would be of potential fraudulent billing is a reasonable time period for no one to notice (Showalter, 2017).

The consequences of fraudulent behavior are criminal convictions and financial penalties. In this case, there is a criminal case involving both employees because they violated the false claims act. There is also a violation of corporate compliance programs concerning the company. Civil liability, in this case, relies on the nursing supervisor, Donna Strickland, who is responsible for damage to Barbara because she demanded Barbara in doing the illegal acts. The service should be worried about the non-monetary costs of the company (Showalter, 2017).

The semester is almost over and we have covered a lot of material. For this DB I want you to think about the artists you have learned more about this semester. Does one stand out to you?  Maybe you learned something about one that you found surprising? It could David’s arbitrary politics, or the passion some artists had for justice.  It could be the role an artist played that was outside of art.  

Think of this as an essay on the artist you chose and then use their images to discuss your point.  You will need to include at least two images, very brief bio of the artist, (just what is in the book will do).  Please note, this is not a research paper.  I am interested in your reflection on the knowledge you have gained this semester.  Artists are usually pretty interesting people who live interesting lives.  So there is no end to possible subjects to discuss.
