Sociology

In the Asian culture, there is often a belief that terminally ill patients should not be informed about their prognosis. Would you respect the cultural practice and not inform a patient about the prognosis? Is there a way for health care providers to balance the patient’s right to know with respect for the cultural practices and beliefs of the family?

Find all the class notes attached in the zip file alongside the instructions in the PDFThroughout this course we have explored cinema’s urban foundations and its continued development as a primarily urban phenomenon, and as well as the important links between cinema and the city that give meaning and shape to our social environment and identity.Of all the different genres and forms of urban cinema that we have examined, which do you think is the most evocative of the city – of its environment, atmosphere, values, and way of life?

What we want to see here is that you are exploring this idea, and can offer some specific responses. There isn’t a right or wrong answer, but you’ll need to hit each element of this prompt to get credit. A couple of well-written, thoughtful paragraphs should suffice here. Think carefully about the two following quotes from Mooney’s book: “Bias against people with atypical bodies and minds is central to a culture of normalization.” “Literature and film are filled with characters with atypical minds and bodies who, when not used as tropes for pity, overcome their personal limitations through heroic effort.” Clearly, these are linked with the word “atypical”, but they take us in two different directions. The first quote indicates that we’re fixated on building a “cultural of normalization”, but what does that phrase mean? What are the consequences and pitfalls to focusing so much on normalization? How does the notion of normalization work with the concept of the tossed salad metaphor for our culture? The second quote shows that we all seem to have some drive to be normal. The characters that he nods to have to overcome themselves through “heroic effort” to conquer their limitations. He explains that this kind of story-line makes it this person’s responsibility to change, rather than the environment around them. We’ve all seen those stories, but where have you seen the environment change? If you haven’t seen it really change, where should it?

250 words, detailed, demonstrate critical and original thinking, show understanding of the assigned material, are well-argued, and written clearly. In the context of the history of the treatment of Native Americans, Garroutte points out that “Indian people are often heard to complain that they constitute the only racial group that is required to produce documentation of their identity—a standard that many or most members of other racial groups need not (or could not) meet” (“Enrollees” 29). If it was required, how would you or could you produce documentation of your racial/ethnic identity? What are the challenges/problems involved with producing and providing this documentation?

Many students are drawn to the career of social work because of life experiences that lead to a desire to help others. These experiences may inform personal strengths and values that translate into social work skills. In this Discussion, you reflect on your life experiences thus far and consider how they apply to your goals as a social worker. You also consider how your personal strengths might influence your development as a social worker. Describe three strengths that you predict will make you an effective social worker. Explain how each strength applies to your social work practice goals.

This assignment focuses on the concept of ethnocentrism, the idea that others can be judged through the lens of one’s own cultural group, which is superior to another (Sherrill, 2003). Ethnocentric beliefs are often the foundation for many diversity-related arguments in political, religious, and racial discussions. Ethnocentrism can often be seen at the center of arguments about the moral foundations of our society, with each side arguing based on their own long-held cultural beliefs. Others, however, argue that morality is culturally relative and accordingly, so are our beliefs. As such, rules regarding right and wrong, what is moral or just, would be based on our cultural backgrounds. For this assignment, think about your longest held cultural beliefs, considering how your personal background has influenced who you are today. Consider all of the cultural associations you may have now and in the past including your customs and traditions such as dress, music, dance, family stories, holidays, and celebrations.  Instructions: Write about how ethnocentrism and cultural relativism affect how you see yourself and others.

What kind of argument does Grant Olwage make in this regard?
