1.Think about sex role stereotypes and how they seem to set one sex up as the model of competence and success. Why does our society still adhere to these stereotypes about men/women? What purpose do they serve (either positively or negatively)? Answer in a paragraph 2.The most current scientific evidence concludes that race is a socially constructed label, not strict biological groupings. What does this mean to you? What examples can you give to explain how race is socially constructed? Answer in a Paragraph Response A. Since race is a social construct, is shaped by societal conventions and attitudes rather than biological distinctions. Despite this, a person's race is frequently determined by appearance or upbringing. While physical characteristics like complexion, facial characteristics, and hair texture don't significantly reflect genetic boundaries, they are frequently used to divide people into racial groups. Your upbringing's language, customs, and social milieu can also impact how you identify as a certain race or how other people see you. For instance, a person's physical characteristics may lead one to believe they belong to a specific race, even when their cultural origins may be more strongly associated with a distinct ethnic or racial identity. This demonstrates how race is shaped both by outward characteristics and cultural context, rather than any objective biological distinction. Response B. Reasons our still adhere to these stereotypes about men and women is for centuries many societies have operated within certain structures where men held primary power and authority. This legacy continues to influence our perceptions of leadership and basic capabilities. Children often observe gender roles modeled by their parents. Biases can still exist in educational settings steering girls and boys towards different academic paths and career aspirations. Trying to confirm to rigid stereotypes can harm mental health, leading to anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. For example, men may feel pressure to suppress emotions, while women might feel pressured to meet unrealistic beauty standards. Stereotypes also create unrealistic expectations for individuals. Men may feel pressure to be the sole provider, while women might feel to be the perfect homemaker, even if they also work full-time would be the purposes they serve.

Watch this video and answer the following question: Dr. Jonathan Fader Demonstrates Motivational Interviewing Skills (youtube.com) Imagine that you are a clinical health psychologist. You are working in a clinic where a primary care provider (a medical doctor) refers you a patient who has been labeled medically “non-compliant” for therapy. The patient is is a 60 year old male diagnosed with diabetes and obesity. In the last 3 years, the patient has had significant weight gain (40 lbs) and one heart attack. He also reports experiencing chronic pain in several joints and mild depression symptoms. You read in the patient's medical history that his brother and father died from heart attacks at age 55 and 51, respectively. The patient is married and has 3 children and 7 grandchildren. He was registered in 2 different nutrition education programs in the past 2 years, but he reports not being motivated to make long-term changes in his diet. His doctor also referred him to physical therapy, but the patient did not follow up on this referral. Based on the video you watched, would a strategy like Motivational Interviewing (MI) potentially help this patient? Why or why not? What are we listening carefully for, when applying MI? What are the "hooks"?

This assignment is intended to demonstrate your understanding of sex and gender using the course materials and outside sources. You will need to clearly express your analyses and/or critiques of key arguments about the social construction of sex and gender and apply them to outside contexts. At minimum, this assignment should be 1,500 words, which is around 6 pages double spaced (not including references). You can be creative but will need to define and build on at least 3 key words and/or themes from the course content within Unit one (i.e. readings, videos, lecture) Your grade will be based on quality of analyses and arguments about course content, rather than length, as well as appropriate and consistent formatting (MLA, APA, Chicago, etc). Please refer to the rubric for a breakdown.  Prompt:  In his article “The Social Construction of Race,” Ian López argues, “social renditions of masculinity and femininity are inseverably a part of racial constructs, just as racial stereotypes invariably embody some elements of sexual identity” (55). In different ways, all of the authors we have and will continue to read in the first unit discuss the theory of social construction. Like López, these authors also consider intersectionality.   Consider how your own way of “doing gender” has been socially constructed. Develop an argument about how one other aspect of your identity has influenced how your gender is constructed. For example, your sexuality or your racial identity may shape your ideas about how to do gender. Or, a set of religious beliefs might affect expectations for how you do gender. Choose from one of these identity categories: economic status, race or ethnicity, sexuality/sexual orientation, dis/ability, religious affiliation, cultural identity, age, or nationality. (Check with your ISA, Dani, first if you wish to use a category other than those listed here.) Although this assignment entails telling a personal narrative, your essay will only be successful if it clearly explains the concepts of social construction and intersectionality, and clearly conveys how those concepts apply to your personal example. Your essay should draw on course material to support your ideas.

Please author an essay that reflects upon the nature of the distribution of wealth in the United States discussed in the Inequality Infographic provided titled Wealth Inequality In America. Try to address all three dimensions presented: 1) what people “think” that distribution looks like; 2) what people think the “ideal” distribution of wealth should be; and 3) the “reality” of wealth distribution. What are some of the consequences, positive or negative of the “reality?”

To prepare for this journal, Review Chapter 1: Understanding Environmental Science and Sustainability. Review Chapter 2: Understanding Ecology and Biodiversity. Ensure you have participated in all discussions and completed all other assignments and activities for the week. In your journal, Share your previous experiences, if any, with learning about environmental science and environmental issues. What previous courses have you taken on the subject? Do you have any previous work or life experience related to the subject? How might this class add to your knowledge of the field? What new topics or issues do you particularly want to learn about in this course? What concerns or fears might you have about this class? What strategies could you put in place to address them? Have you thought about where you might go for your nature experience project? Do you have any concerns about that particular assignment? Explain your learning from the first week of class. What are three new concepts or terms that you learned about? How has your outlook on biodiversity and ecosystems changed because of this new knowledge? What topics might you be interested in learning more about in the future? Look ahead to Week 2 when we will be examining how to sustain our agriculture and soils. Discuss some ways that this new topic might intersect with what you learned this week about biodiversity. How do the subjects of biodiversity and agriculture impact each other? List at least five specific, concrete lifestyle changes you will commit to making for your course-long Environmental Footprint Reduction Project. These should be things that you can realistically accomplish before the class ends. For example, buying a new electric car is marvelous, but unless you plan to do that in the next few weeks, it should not be included on this list. You will document your first week’s efforts in the Week 2 Journal, and you will report on the ultimate impacts of your efforts in a discussion in Week 5.

Hi, I have this assignment and needed help completing it. It is due April 22 at 12 pm. I will put all the information you need to know below. Please reach out if you have any further questions. Instructions The first task would be to "find yourself a job", i.e., you pick a potential job that is in some way related to this class, for example, in environmental management or treatment, policy-making, research, data management. It could, for example, also be in controlling climate change, which has also a huge impact on water availability (drinking water, farming, environmental impact of energy production…). Hopefully, you can find something in alignment with skills and interests that you already have in engineering, business, law, science, or environmental planning and management. pick a job title and describe in two sentences why you picked the one that you did.(2) The second task is a bit harder (8) Either you find a job ad, e.g., environmental management, or government sources such as EPA, USGS or NOAA, or local sources such as water treatment plants. (if possible, post your ad here in the respective box). Or, if you do not find anything suitable, you can write your own ad. Pick a random ad for nothing water-related and adapt it to what you wrote in 1.) (Not more than a third of a page) Describe the skills that may be required for the job and divide them into major and minor skills. Maybe you are or want to be a law student and want to get involved in environmental policy-making. Thus a major skill would be law, and a secondary but important skill would be to have some basic background in environmental geochemistry. (4) Describe where you are with those skills at the moment: Which skills do you have already, at least partially?(2) For what skills have you learned a bit in class?(2) What additional skills would you have to acquire, and what would be a way you think you could do that? (3) If you think, for example, about the Flint water crisis (even though we have not specifically talked about this, you may have heard about it), there can be a number of important jobs: Research on what the best ways are to avoid lead contamination of drinking water. Also, how did legionnaire's disease evolve, and what are the best ways to treat the disease or treat the water to avoid it? Once the science is done, there are tasks for engineers, in how to implement what we learned from the science into a large-scale operation of a water treatment plant for an entire city. The original task was to save some bucks for the city. But now comes a business major to evaluate what a new treatment in Flint costs vs. staying with Detroit water vs. getting water from Lake Huron. There is a money issue here but also time because maybe interim solutions may have to be found before the changes are operational. There should also be a lot of policy making (law) and enforcement in place that regulates how water should be treated, where, how, and how often it needs to be sampled, and finally, who is responsible for what.
