Social Science

For this week’s discussion, you will do a gender, race and class analysis of your neighborhood or community through the medium of photography. 

Please take one or a few photos that you see in daily life that help to illustrate an issue we have been discussing in our class. Perhaps you see something that strikes you dealing with gender, race, or social class. Perhaps you see an ad on the subway that objectifies women or men or perpetuates a racial or ethnic stereotype. Perhaps you see something that shows income or wealth inequality.

AVOID taking direct photos of people UNLESS YOU GET THEIR PERMISSION!  This is not only respectful, but also ethical. 

If you cannot take any photos in your daily life then please find some on the internet to share with the class. 

Post them in your DB post and provide a 350-word analysis that answers the following questions:

  1. Describe the photo(s) (What are they of? Where were they taken?)
  2. Why did you choose this/these photos for this assignment?
  3. What is your gender, race and class analyses of the photos?
  4. How does/do the photo(s) illuminate social inequality?
  5. How does/do the photo(s) relate to any topics or discussions we’ve been having in class?

Please use your eText, or other resources and articles to back up your analysis and BE SURE TO CITE YOUR SOURCES!!

Obesity

Assignments #2 (Extended Definition for Non-Expert Audiences)
Length: 1,200 words (not including reflection)

Choose a medical or health term that either is not commonly understood, or is commonly misunderstood, or (due to recent advances or to changes in perspective) is now differently understood.
–  (THE MEDICAL/HEALTH TERM FOR THIS PAPER WILL BE OBESITY)
–  The audience is parents with young children, adolescents, and children at risk of obesity.

Write an extended definition for that term for a non-expert audience, using a minimum of 3 sources as support.
It is extremely important to carefully consider why the audience would want/need to read this definition, in what situation or setting your piece would appear, and what you hope the audience will gain by reading it. This assignment will be accompanied by a 250-word reflective memo that explains to me why this audience & this venue for this term & how you appealed to them specifically, i.e., what strategies you used.

May 6th, 2020 Social Science Comments Off on Sociology

Sociology

 

Vissing (2011) explains culture as an organized system of living and thinking. It contains shared attitudes, values, goals, and behaviors that are present in individuals, groups, organizations, or regions of the world (p. 24). After reading Chapter 3 in the text and The Relation Between Culture and Social Structure, summarize some of the ways that the role of culture can shape our expectations about how people are supposed to behave.  Moreover, discuss how culture is involved in the consequences when a person does not behave as one is supposed to. Be sure to use the following terms in your explanation: values, norms, material, status, groups, and roles.

Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length. Support your claims with examples from required material(s) and/or other scholarly resources, and properly cite any references. Respond to at least two of your classmates posts by Day 7.

May 6th, 2020 APA, Business and Management Comments Off on Electric Cars

Electric Cars

You have been brought in as a consultant to a start-up business called Charge-Your-Car (CYC). CYC designs, manufactures and distributes electric car charging stations. CYC is well-funded through private equity but does not have unlimited funds; the business is expected to make a profit relatively quickly. While the shareholders are prepared to look at acquisitions and other structural changes, most growth should be organic through sales. This company is based in the United Kingdom.

CYC has developed an innovative way to charge electric vehicles (eg Tesla, BMW i3) slightly more quickly than current methods. This is a minor improvement, but the technology is unique. CYC has also created an app that enables the user to manage the cost, charging time and other functions remotely from their smartphone.

Your role is to produce a sales and business development strategy for CYC. You should consider:

-Strategic partnerships
-Business purchasers
-Consumer purchasers
-Key sales propositions
-Competitive threats
-Any required product innovations (in brief)
-Top two priorities for CYC – what should they do first

Notes:

-CYC is not a real business
-You may make reasonable, stated assumptions about CYC.

T3 DQ2. BY3/12

250 WORDS CITATION AND REFERENCES

How does the community health nurse recognize bias, stereotypes, and implicit bias within the community? How should the nurse address these concepts to ensure health promotion activities are culturally competent? Propose strategies that you can employ to reduce cultural dissonance and bias to deliver culturally competent care. Include an evidence-based article that address the cultural issue. Cite and reference the article in APA format.

Instructor post

Providing holistic nursing care requires cultural competence. Understanding others beliefs and how you personally feel about those beliefs will help guide your patient care. Every person has their own values, including the nurse providing the care and education. Understanding your values and their importance to you will help the nurse understand how important and the impact an individuals values has on their health care preferences. Community health nurses must be able to interact effectively with people of all cultures , beliefs systems and health preferences (GCU, 2018).

What are some cultural beliefs you are familiar with or have had professional experiences with? How did you handle those situations? How were you able to ensure you were providing culturally competent care?

Please use at least one evidence based article to support your discussion post. The GCU library can be very helpful for finding resources.

May 6th, 2020 APA, Health Care and Life Sciences Comments Off on Assessing and Addressing Health Inequities

Assessing and Addressing Health Inequities

This week we will be examining aspects of health disparities in our communities. Despite being the richest nation in the world some segments of our population continue to have health outcomes and conditions that are similar to developing nations. For example infant mortality rates in African-Americans in many communities in the U.S. are two or three times higher than White rates. Similarly they may have heart disease or breast cancer mortality rates many times higher than their White neighbors in the same community.

Healthy People 2010 focused heavily on eliminating disparities, especially racial and ethnic disparities in health. While some progress was made, in large part disparities in health still remain. In the past much of the focus of addressing these disparities among public health professionals was on individual behavior change – getting people to make better choices. While this is an important approach to improving health, increasingly public health professionals recognize that the most effective way (and biggest obstacle) to assist individuals and communities to eliminate health disparities is by addressing the detrimental conditions that contribute to poor health – the social determinants of health. These community level factors may seem out of the scope of public health, but as we saw in the APHA video _-This is Public Health (Select link or open the link in the browser to view video)  – https://youtu.be/oQkGx6gRGIY community conditions including safety, transportation, housing, social isolation, formal education play a role in health and public health.

This is the basis of the social-ecological model of health and health improvement – poor health is the result of poor individual choices, but also community and societal factors that limit or impede these choices. Reversing these factors also take a multi-tiered approach aimed not only at the individual.

Address the following discussion question then is:

What are the sources of health inequities in our communities and nation?
How can we best address these effectively?
How can we move beyond a clinical — doctor/practitioner/educator and patient/client model of prevention to focus on a population based primary prevention model?
What are the opportunities and barriers in trying to address social determinants in order to reduce health inequities?
