    Expand AllIntroduction

    Social structure, or the patterns of behavior that organize society, shapes our everyday interactions and help us assess and react to daily life. Social structure guides our behavior, and our position in the social structure affects our attitudes, behaviors, and ideas. One aspect of social structure is culture, which is the glue that holds a society together. Culture includes the values, norms, language, food, and customs of a group of people. Socialization, the lifelong social experience through which we learn culture, teaches us to become members of our society. The most common agents of socialization are our family, peers, school, and media. The family, for example, influences a child’s development by such things as the way the parents hold a baby, look at it, talk to it, and respond to its needs. We take on typical gender roles at birth as girls are typically given pink clothes while boys are given blue clothes. Family socialization is reinforced or modified by experiences at school and with peers, by the mass media, and by interaction with others. In the second assessment, you will create a poster in which you connect what you are learning about sociological concepts like culture, socialization, and social structure to your life.

    Note: The course assessments build upon one another and must be completed in sequence.

    Overview

    For this assessment, you will create a one-page digital poster that connects sociological concepts and theories in this course to your life. Posters, or emails formatted like a poster, are often used to convey information in a way that catches the viewer’s attention. As such, they feature strong visual elements. Creating good posters can help in job settings where there’s a regular need to quickly communicate new information. It’s also a skill you can use in your personal life (from having a yard sale to volunteering).

  • Teratogen

    Teratogens are ubiquitous toxins that affect prenatal development. Cleaning supplies, drugs, and alcohol are among the teratogens that we may encounter in our daily lives. Use the Internet to research scholarly literature and medically reviewed websites, such as the Mayo Clinic and The Centers for Disease Control (CDC), for information about teratogens and their effects on prenatal development. Literature Search Resources page. Assessing Internet Sources The websites listed in the resources for each assignment in this course are examples of reputable sources. When identifying reputable Internet sources, consider the following questions: Who is the author? Is the individual or organization well-known in their field? Who publishes the information? Is the publisher the same as the author? Is the source reliable? Does the source show a bias or intent? Instructions Alcohol and tobacco products are widely known and well-publicized teratogens. For this assignment, select a teratogen other than alcohol or tobacco. Assume the role in the following scenario: You are teaching at a local college and want to provide your students with an example of how a specific teratogen affects a critical trimester of fetal development, considering timing, dosage, duration, and genetics. Prepare a lecture, using relevant and recent references to illustrate and explain the implications of a selected teratogen on prenatal development and consider the impact of this teratogen on the individual, family, and society as well as ways to minimize the exposure. Be sure to consider any individual and cultural factors that may come into play when considering the impact of your teratogen and to write in a way that is appropriate for your target audience of undergraduate students. Deliverable A 23 page paper, suitable for a lecture to undergraduate students, explaining the implications of a selected teratogen on prenatal development that considers timing, dosage, duration, genetics, and the associated consequences and costs to families and society while also considering individual and cultural differences. The writing style should be direct and understandable, and include scholarly references. Organize your lecture using the following headings: Overview: Provide a summary of the teratogen. Identify a specific teratogen and the type or amount of exposure that can harm fetal development. Identify a common product or environmental pollutant that would be a concern for expectant parents (for example, lead-contaminated water). Where is the teratogen commonly (or uncommonly) found? What type, frequency, or amount of exposure is a concern? Where is the teratogen commonly (or uncommonly) found? Developmental Risks: Identify the specific risks to prenatal development. Identify the most critical trimester in prenatal development that the toxin affects (such as heart and lungs). Summarize research that explains how a specific teratogen affects a trimester of prenatal development. Illustrate (explain) how a specific teratogen harms fetal development in a critical trimester. Explain why it is dangerous (for example, drugs cross the blood barrier). For example, if the toxin affects lung development, what are the consequences? Consider the role of health disparities as they relate to developmental risk. Implications of Exposure: Evaluate the potential impact or outcomes to family and society as a result of prenatal teratogen exposure while considering the role of health disparities. What are the short-term and long-term outcomes from the exposure? Other related costs or consequences as the result of exposure? Special education costs? Increased health care costs? Minimize Exposure Analyze recommendations from reputable sources for minimizing prenatal or postnatal exposure to a specific teratogen. Analyze the quality of the research and the conclusions to prevent a specific teratogen exposure. Identify prevention and intervention options. Consider medical, social, and economic prevention strategies. Additional Requirements Length: 23 pages. Written communication: Provide key health information using language and format that is comprehensible to a layperson. Write clearly and logically, with correct use of spelling, grammar, punctuation, and mechanics. Number of references: A minimum of five scholarly references is required (such as, academic journals); additional references from medically reviewed or professional, reputable websites, such as government sources, the Mayo Clinic, or WebMD, may be included. APA formatting: References and citations should be formatted according to current APA style and format. See Evidence and APA.

    • While a summary of what you have read is contained within the literature review, it goes well beyond merely summarizing professional literature.
    • It focuses on a specific topic of interest and includes your critical analysis of the relationship among different works, and relating this research to your work.
    • In this case, your work will be your capstone project.
    • It may be written as a stand-alone paper or to provide a theoretical framework and rationale for a research study (such as a thesis or dissertation).
    • Your literature review will be written as a standalone paper.
