A social media or blog post for the public the book is feminist city by Leslie kern Topic A topic is what something is about. Look through your personal journal entries, discussion board posts, or any other writing you’ve done to help you think of some specific ideas, feelings, experiences, arguments, events, etc., you might want to write about. What will the topic(s) of your review be? How will this topic help you achieve the purpose of your review? How will your topic(s) “speak to” (be important or interesting for) your audience? How will you write about this topic in the format you’ve chosen? Purpose Our book reviews will a kind of intentional writing – this means you are writing for a reason which could be to persuade someone, to express your thoughts or ideas, to summarize or analyze, to spread awareness or knowledge, etc. What will be the purpose of your book review? How will the topic, purpose, and format you’ve chosen help you achieve your goal? Audience An intended audience is the specific person, or group of people you have in mind when you’re writing, such as a general audience (anyone interested), a group of scholars, your family, friends, or other close acquaintances, your social media followers, etc. Who will be the intended audience for your book review? Consider the characteristics of your audience (what they are like) – are they college students? young people? a previous generation? Are they likely to agree with you? What (if anything) do they already know about the topic? How will your intended audience influence the topic, purpose, or format of your writing? Format and Style Format refers to the norms about the way something is arranged, presented, or how it works. For example, music can come in different formats including a record, a CD, a downloadable file, streaming, etc. Style is the way in which something is written, as opposed to the meaning of what is written. Consider the length of the text, how formal or casual your writing will be, what vocabulary you’ll use or avoid (including words a Sociologist might use and/or popular or slang terms), whether you’ll write in a personal way that includes your own thoughts and feelings, or whether you’ll be “objective” (objective can be a problematic idea because all knowledge comes from somewhere. However, you might try to make your writing more “universal” meaning that you might choose a style that you think speaks to many people about what we have in common. Hint: it’s not just white men who get to define what we have in common) What format and style will you choose? How will you explain or express your topic, and achieve your purpose using this style? Why is this format and style the one you’ve chosen for your audience?

Science Meets Real Life Humans are naturally inquisitive and have always asked questions about the world around them. Many questions could not be answered due to a lack of available technology, but many others could be answered through the process of trial and error. Over time, the way humans ask and answer questions about the natural world was developed and shaped into what is now called the scientific method. It allows scientists to conduct research in a systematic, organized fashion. As humans make new scientific discoveries, they are able to develop additional technologies. For example, historically people used the bark and leaves from the willow tree to treat fevers and pains. This was a traditional medicine that people shared with one another via word of mouth. As technology advanced, the materials from the willow tree could be analyzed in a lab and the components could be studied to see which natural chemicals were responsible for reducing the fevers and pain. Research showed that the willow tree contained a form of salicylic acid that gave it its’ healing powers. This scientific research led to the development of the aspirin we use today which is now mass produced (and that you have probably taken at some point in your lifetime). You depend on many technologies throughout your day that make your modern life possible. In this assignment you will look at some of these technologies and the scientific discoveries that made them possible. You will evaluate both the negative and positive impacts of these discoveries. You will also broaden your scope to look at how different cultures with different levels of access to technology approach the same problem – health care. Part I Science in your personal and professional life Think about your day from the time you wake up to the time that you go to sleep. List four technologies that you rely on and would find it difficult to get through your day or night without. Discuss any negative impacts these technologies have on your life, society, and the environment.  Think about your day from the time you wake up to when you go to sleep. Describe the one scientific discovery that you think is the most important for making modern life possible. List as many negative and positive impacts you can think of that this scientific discovery and the technologies that it allowed to be developed may have. Evaluate and discuss if the positives outweigh the negatives overall, or whether the negatives outweigh the positives. Part II Science and technology in a multicultural world Many research programs around the world focus on the discovery of cures to ailments from cancer to mental illness. Modern society invests a great deal of money, and time while pushing the boundaries of modern technology to develop new cures and improve existing treatments. Review the Unit 9 Assignment Resources. Describe one advantage and one disadvantage to the westernized high-tech research approach to medical treatment. Describe one advantage and one disadvantage to using traditional medicine as an approach to medical treatment. Are there benefits to having multicultural approaches to medical treatment? Explain your answer. Could these two cultural approaches both be improved by drawing upon the other? Why or why not? Discuss any challenges there may be in combining these two different cultural approaches to treatment that have a very different level of reliance on scientific research and technology.
