Roles assigned in relation to gender and age
Select one ethnic or diversity group different from yours, and examine its collective history. Consider the
sources of cohesion, identity and strength, as well as the sources of stress, discord and strife which may
influence problem generation and resolution.
Select a family or support system from an ethnicity that is different than yours. Ask permission to interview
members of this chosen ethnic group. In the interview consider:
How is the family or group viewed in the light of its collective history?
What are the sources of cohesion, identity and strength, stress, discord and strife that are evident as the result
of the group’s reality?
How are roles assigned in relation to gender and age? Is this assignment a reflection of the group’s cultural
reality? What are the consequences of the role assignment?
How does the group function in relation to other systems: (e.g., educational, religious, occupational and
judicial)?
How does it function as a transmitter of cultural values?
How does this group compare with the information contained in the literature about people of similar identity?
What are the implications for social work practice at both micro and macro levels? What aspects of the
culture’s structures and values may oppress, marginalize, alienate, create or enhance privilege and power? Be
specific in terms of principles of practice
Sample Solution
s is annoying. As this deals with higher transaction fee and deal with transaction uncertainty.
It’s hard to scale. As we don’t want to store the data directly in block chain as there is thing called block chain bloating so we want to have a pointer which is pointing to a data living in a distributed hash table.
Fees
• Average transaction fee for transaction is in bitcoin network is $1. It might not be too much for high transactions but for the transactions dealing with microtransaction, it means a lot!
• Solutions include increasing block size limit, lightning network, central servers for off chain transaction, sidechains and treechains.
Lots of Computing Power required
• Mining is somewhat centralized in blockchain by giant mining pools.
• Transaction speed declines as the network increases in size as more transactions compete for the limited block spaces.
• It will take more and more computing power to mine the same amount of bitcoin.
Vulnerable to Quantum attack
• Bitcoin and other proof of work based blockchains are susceptible to being broken by a powerful quantum computer.
There is another technology which has evolved called “IOTA”.
IOTA ARCHITECTURE
IOTA USES BLOCKDAG
• IOTA is not an acronym for Internet of Things, IOTA just mean something very small. Block chains are sequential chains where blocks are added in regular intervals.
• The tangle a DAG (Directed Acyclic Graph) is able to achieve high transaction throughput
