The social determinants of health can be based on many things in everyday life. Based on where people are born and raised and what resources they are exposed to will determine their health. Someone who is raised in a low income home in a small town that doesn’t offer a lot of education on wellbeing, can end up with life threatening illnesses. People with higher education and income are able to get better doctors to improve their health status. Well educated people can also know ways to avoid certain habits that cause health problems. For example, being educated on the effects of smoking. Even average people who have access to cable will be exposed to commercials that highlight the long term effects of cigarettes and vaping. Whereas someone who lives in a low income home doesn’t always have access to that TV exposure, causing them to miss important information about dangerous effects of smoking. Rural communities tend to be tied to low income communities and also don’t have access to physicians or specialists. This can lead to them having to travel, or never getting help due to not getting correct information on the illness. Low income people can sometimes deny help due to not having health insurance. Environmental aspects can also effects someone’s health because exposure to certain chemicals cause issues later on in life such as exposure to asbestos. Not all people have access to remove that from their home and have to deal with the effects because they can afford to replace it. Diets and food habits can affects ones health, having an unbalanced diet can lead to obesity and diabetes. Low income areas are also related to high crime and substance abuse. Many factors lead to low income a low socioeconomic statuses having poorer health. Environments, education, and income can determine ones health.

intentionally break unwritten rules of interaction in social spaces using Ethnomethodology’s method of Breaching.

For this field study, you will intentionally break unwritten rules of interaction in social spaces using Ethnomethodology’s method of Breaching.  I encourage you to do multiple breaches and choose the best two to analyze in your report.  The two breaches you write up should be different from each other (different spaces, different rules broken, etc).An effective write-up for this assignment must include detailed, step-by-step description of the interactions.  This means you must describe how the people involved reacted to your breach and how they tried to repair the disjuncture.  Include description of how they experienced the disruption of the rules, if possible (you might have to ask them about this to get their perspective).  If possible and appropriate, debrief the people involved and let them know why you did what you did.In your write-up, begin by introducing each of your two breaches, including the physical/virtual space, social situation, people involved, and implicit rule.  Share how you decided on these two types of breaches.  That should be in the first paragraph.  Then, in the rest of the report (up to the conclusion), systematically analyze in detail how you breached the invisible, unwritten rules of interactions in those two social spaces.  In the conclusion, reflect on what you learned within the context of your personal experience/thoughts and our course material.You should address each of the following:identify the unwritten rules that you breached and whether you knew what they were to begin with; analyze how people reacted (including you); how they noticed that you broke a rule (that there was a disturbance); how they attempted to repair the disturbance; if the rules were reestablished; and what this reveals about the moral order of the rule(s) in that situation.  NOTE: I recommend you experiment with multiple breaches to get a sense of possible variability in what happens, then choose the best two to write about.  IMPORTANT!  Do not do anything that could be dangerous, threatening, or harmful–including emotionally– to anybody, including yourself.  Do not perform this activity in our class, with your classmates, with your instructor, or with vulnerable populations.  Be aware of power dynamics and how the others might perceive you.  Note that breaching activities may be done with people whom you know.This report should be 2-3 pages long and properly formatted.

What did your analysis tell you about these companies?

What kind of information needs to be obtained in order to apply the Principle of Utility?

 Jake runs a delicatessen in a high-crime section of a large city. After being robbed at gunpoint eight times in the past two years, Jake obtained a pistol permit and bought a pistol. Yesterday a man entered the store brandishing a knife and demanded all the money in the cash register. Jake moved to the cash register as if planning to open it. Then he quickly grabbed the gun hanging under it and, without warning, shot the man six times in the chest. Analyze the case in terms of Utilitarianism. For example, what are the alternative actions and their consequences? What kind of information needs to be obtained in order to apply the Principle of Utility? Your explanations should have reasons that support them and make specific references to the Burnor and Raley text. Main posts should be at least 200 words. 

Describe the theory of knowledge called skepticism.

 Instructions: Minimum 2 pages 8 – 10 Paragraphs Essay # 2 Describe the theory of knowledge called skepticism. Consider the skeptic’s charge that we can never be confident about the reliability of our normal sources of knowledge (perceptions, memory, introspection, and reasoning.) Describe why and how, for each of the 4 sources mentioned, the source is unreliable. Use examples to show your understanding. If a source of knowledge is unreliable, it means these sources can trick us into believing falsehoods. Does it follow from the fact that we are sometimes mistaken when we rely on these sources that we are always mistaken? In other words, once we admit is possible that we are mistaken, does that mean that we need to admit that we might never be correct? How would you respond to the skeptic?

discuss your belief on “tech giants” violating antitrust laws.

 Antitrust regulation is designed to increase competition by eliminating attempts to monopolize an industry (other than through better products or better management) as well as by attacking certain patterns of illegal conduct (i.e. price-fixing and exclusionary contracts that foreclose competitor business). For this forum, discuss your belief on “tech giants” violating antitrust laws. Do you feel Facebook, Google, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, etc. are in violation of such antitrust regulation? The response should be around 300 words with intext citations and follow APA format

determine whether the PSA or ad accomplishes its goals (whatever those goals may be) and how.

Select a Public Service Announcement (PSA) or political advertisement that has not been covered in class for evaluation. This PSA or ad does not have to be current – you are more than welcome to take something that is a historical text. Use your knowledge of the theories covered in class and the course readings to determine whether the PSA or ad accomplishes its goals (whatever those goals may be) and how.
