Describe the key relationship between these social variables and health outcomes and also engage in your own research in which you will come up with one meaningful example of a health issue that is impacted by these variables. This paper will conclude with a discussion on how government interventions (organizations and agencies) are improving health outcomes.
Include:
1. Explain how sociologists view the relationship between the key social variables of a class, gender, race and health outcomes. For example, explain how social class can help us predict health-related outcomes. You would do the same for gender and race.
2. Select an illness (Type 2 Diabetes) whose health outcomes are clearly impacted by class, gender, and race (all three variables).
First, describe the illness.
Then explain how the three variables can have an impact on health outcomes in relation to the illness.
For example, what can you tell me about the health outcomes of Asians (race) suffering from diabetes (illness)? 9% are at moderate risk for diabetes.
Include at least 3 peer-reviewed journal articles (no more than five years old) to validate your arguments, thoughts, and opinions.
3. Explain how government interventions are improving health outcomes (the illness you selected) in terms of class, gender, and race (all three). Here, you want to identify government organizations/agencies in the U.S. that addresses the illness (one organization for each variable).

For example, how is the Department of Health and Human Services – Office of Minority Health (organization) improving health outcomes for minorities (race) who are suffering from diabetes (illness)?
Within the essay, be sure to include and apply at least 3 social concepts learned from the course material (other than class, gender, and race).

How do Smartphones affect youths in Abu Dhabi?

/in /by

In this article, the researchers investigate the different effects of smartphones on the youth of the United Arab Emirates through an integrated questionnaire among 12 doctors that were randomly sampled and selected about the smartphone use of the youth in the country. Through a qualitative research design by using structured questionnaires, the researcher found out that smartphone usage affects the youth in UAE both in a positive and negative way. Moreover, smartphone usage may lead to negative health issues among the youth including obesity. Also, it was concluded that parents should play a role in limiting the number of hours that youth should use their smartphones to a maximum of 3 hours a day.

INTRODUCTION

The rise of digital media can be attributed as well to the increasing number of individuals owning a smartphone, or vice versa, it could be the increasing number of smartphone users that resulted in the rise of digital media. Reportedly, there are 78 percent of people in the United Arab Emirates who own at least one smartphone, which means that others even have more. Even though UAE has not adapted smartphone usage and digitization as early as compared to other western countries like the United States and the United Kingdom, the “penetration among UAE nationals is 85 percent compared to other nationalities with 75 percent (Trost, 2014).” This is because Emiratis are considered to be early adopters and trend-setters in the Arab region.

The increasing number of Emiratis using smartphones has raised different concerns, especially the effects of too much use of smartphones among the youth in the United Arab Emirates. Therefore, in this paper, the researcher investigates the different effects of smartphones on the youth of the United Arab Emirates.

The target audience of this research paper is the youth. Significantly for this paper, the youth refers to individuals who are 15 to 24 years of age. Moreover, smartphones include handheld mobile gadgets or hand phones but excluding technologies like tablets or the bigger version of hand phones. Cellular smartphones are the ones included in this study. Significantly, the target populations of this research are Emiratis, which stand for the citizen of the United Arab Emirates country and own nationality. The MENA region would be mentioned in this paper a lot of times because UAE is part of the MENA region but the focus of the research is only among Abu Dhabi as the capital of the country only.

In order to support the current study, the researcher will be reviewing related literature as a basis for discussion and in order to compare and contrast the different literatures that have been written before about the effects of smartphones among the youth of the United Arab Emirates. Basically, the literature review will be about the digital trends in the MENA region, the mobile penetration in the UAE region, and collated information about the possible effects of smartphones among the youth, especially on the students of the region.

The main research design of this study is qualitative research design. The researcher used this design in order to have a more focused study on the subject matter. Qualitative researching can “explore a wide array of dimensions of the social world, including the texture and weave of everyday life, the understandings, experiences and imaginings of our research participants, the ways that social processes, institutions, discourses or relationships work, and the significance of the meanings that they generate” (Mason, 2002). Basically, this means that qualitative research is applicable if there is a need to have a more in-depth understanding of a significant issue as well as in generating results from participants at a more personal level.

The researcher used a structured questionnaire for the 12 doctors working in Abu Dhabi City both in the private and public hospitals. These doctors are professionals in their fields and could really give answers to the questions in the questionnaire regarding the topic of the research. The researcher sent the questionnaire questions through email and the questionnaire or their answer to the questionnaire questions were also sent via email since these doctors are practically busy with their jobs in their different positions in the hospital they work in.

As mentioned earlier, the researcher chose to use questionnaires as the process of gathering the needed data for this research. Since qualitative research design is being used for a wider and in-depth understanding of the effects of smartphones on the youth of UAE, a questionnaire is the best method to do this. Bird (2009) notes that questionnaires are fundamental tools in acquiring information concerning public knowledge as well as perceptions about natural hazards. This is in addition to the beliefs and the reasons of actions concerning the topic that is being investigated. This means that questionnaires also result in in-depth information that the researcher needs for this study. Significantly, the researcher aims to answer the following research questions:

  • How do Smartphones affect youths in Abu Dhabi?
  • How do smartphones change the health, behavior and physical activity of the youths?
  • What negative and positive impacts do smartphones have on youth lifestyle?
  • What are the tips for youth who use smartphones and their parents?

For the literature review, a wide variety of literature are included. Journal articles as well as news articles, and reports would be used in this paper. The researcher made sure that the information provided by these literature and studies are relevantly updated and that the sources are credible enough in order to support the whole study. A review of related literature is also important in any research as it serves as the backbone of the study that can be used in the discussion part of the paper (MSU, 2015).

Explore, in a short essay, your own thoughts, ideas, and insights on the topic of the material

/in /by

Assignment: Your assignment is as follows. Explore, in a short essay, your own thoughts, ideas, and insights on the topic of the materialn order to show your understanding of and reflection upon the topic.
****You should develop and support a thesis****
(“a proposition…put forward for consideration”). Thus, your thought paper should be structured as an argument, and you should clearly articulate the key point of your argument (your thesis statement) and provide supporting claims/evidence for it.

How to Think About the Assignment: Think about the assignment as follows. As you are reading the conceptual frameworks (Corporations, Culture, and Commitment: Motivation and Social Control in Organizations)), think about what we mean by the key elements of the frameworks. Consider the key takeaway, whether the takeaway was surprising to you, and why it is important. Then think about what it might imply for firms and industries, governments, and your prior work experiences or your future work context.
What you write in the thought paper is up to you, as long as it builds on the conceptual framework. There are a number of approaches you might take. One approach is to apply part of the conceptual framework to some firm or industry For example, in a thought paper on the five forces, you might say “Industry X appears to be quite attractive in many respects, but in fact, its attractiveness is undermined by extremely high barriers to exit that lead to very high rivalry.” This would be your thesis statement. Then you would follow it up with arguments to support your claim. There are other approaches. For instance, you might disagree with something in the conceptual framework and then support your claim. My objective is to get you to think actively about the conceptual frameworks and how they might be applied.

Objective: My goal is to push you to think about the conceptual frameworks in an active manner (rather than reading them passively).

Topic: Some disease/disorder and the neuro-immune processes involved. (PARKINSON’S DISEASE)

Remember to include some kind of neuroimmune component and try to find a focus. A short paper is best if it shows depth and specificity (and it’s easier to write and read).  Start with bullet-points for key topics in your outline and include paper references from your citation manager.  As you start to flesh out each concept/area, you may find that you want to eliminate some topics and focus more deeply on others. You can adjust your title and intro accordingly.

Paper organization:

Introduction (10%) (~3-4 pages)

  • Background on the disease/disorder
  • Background on immune and neuronal processes involved

The best type of title makes an assertion or statement (i.e. regarding how an aspect of the immune system or neuroimmune system influences a disease or disorder).

Your introduction should spend one or two short paragraphs on the symptoms and prevalence. Next, your introduction should give a summary of the background of research in this area, honing in on why the area YOU are focusing on is important. Then you summarize the key points you are going to talk about and wrap up with a very short summary of what the reader is going to take away from this paper (one or two sentences). (Most people write the last part of the intro AFTER having done the bulk of the writing and sorted out what their final conclusions are.  At a minimum, it should be a reassertion of what your paper is going to tell us overall.

Body (15%) (~6-8 pages)

  • The specific mechanisms through which the brain-immune-endocrine systems can give rise to the illness
  • Treatments that can target these pathways to help combat the disease

The body of your paper is drills down into the key areas that you identified in your introduction.

Conclusions (5%) (~2-3 pages)

  • What is the take-home message of the paper?
  • What is lacking in the literature?

Your Discussion section should first summarize your findings and tell us why they are important. You conclude with explaining the implications of these findings and what it means – — this could include (but is not limited to) things like current and future treatments, gaps in research, appropriateness of animal models, etc. NEVER conclude with “More research needs to be done.” Be SPECIFIC.  Good conclusions are some of the hardest things to write.
