As discussed by a well-known scholar and practitioner of women’s health, “being born female is dangerous for your health.” Some of the health conditions that women face are biologically determined. Others are socially determined. Some result from the interplay between biological and social determinants of health. The inferior social status of women in many cultures, however, is reflected in certain health conditions that women face and in some of the differentials that favor men between the health of men and the health of women. As one looks globally at the health of women, it is important to think broadly of their health and go beyond the traditional focus on reproductive health issues. In low-income countries, Group I causes, including HIV/AIDS, TB, malaria, and maternal causes continue to be the leading causes of deaths of females 15 to 49 years of age. The same causes are of special importance for females of that age group in lower middle-income countries, but ischemic heart disease and stroke rise in importance in this group. As one moves to upper middle-income countries, HIV/AIDS continues to be important, but road injuries, ischemic heart disease, stroke, and breast cancer are also in the top five causes of death. In high-income countries, self-harm is the leading cause of death in this age group, and breast cancer, drug use disorders, road injuries, and ischemic heart disease are also in the top five causes of death. Clearly, maternal causes remain an important cause of female death. However, reducing premature deaths of females, especially in low- and middle-income countries, will require a focus on a number of Group I causes, self-harm, and the growing burden in those countries of noncommunicable diseases. Improving the health status of females, especially poor women in low- and middle-income countries, will also require attention to some of the specific issues noted earlier in the chapter. One is nutrition. Another is sex-selective abortion. A third is discriminatory healthcare practices toward young girls that cause these girls to suffer higher rates of mortality before age 5 than boys. Sexually transmitted infections are an important cause of DALYs for women in the reproductive age group, especially in sub-Saharan Africa. Female genital mutilation is a practice that is widespread, especially in parts of Africa, and it is associated with important morbidity and disability for women. Violence against women is also a central cause of ill health for women. About 300,000 women die each year of maternal causes; about 40,000 of these deaths are due to unsafe abortions. Complicated labor that is not properly attended can also lead to problems, such as fistula, from which an estimated 2 million women suffer worldwide. The risk of maternal morbidity, disability, and mortality is increased by having a stunted mother, young age at marriage, young age at first birth, having more than five children, and having closely spaced pregnancies. The lack of access to family planning and the demand for it is at the foundation of some of these problems. This is particularly the case in some places in South Asia and much of sub-Saharan Africa, where total fertility remains high and the coverage of family planning remains low. Increasing the uptake of family planning to delay the age at first birth, increase birth intervals, and reduce the number of births per woman would save lives, especially in low- and middle-income countries with weak emergency obstetric care. The costs of women’s health problems are very substantial. In many societies, women are the primary caregivers to children, and when the health of the mother suffers, there is often a negative effect on the health of the children as well. In addition, women play important economic roles in many families, and the morbidity, disability, and mortality associated with particular problems of women’s health have substantial economic implications. Some countries, such as Sri Lanka, have been able to improve the health of women at relatively low levels of expenditure by making wise choices about investments in health and education. These included increasing female education, providing widespread access to midwives, and ensuring adequate backup for the midwives at hospitals. The quest for universal health coverage in an increasing number of countries should enhance the health of females. Improving the health of females in the future will also require that health systems provide a cost-effective package of services, including nutrition, family planning, prenatal care, deliveries attended by skilled healthcare providers, emergency transportation of women who are having complicated labors, and emergency obstetric services of appropriate quality at a hospital. A number of countries are now undertaking a variety of efforts, including incentive programs, to try to increase the demand for such services and the supply of these services at an appropriate level of quality. In the long run, it will be important to change the gender roles that favor males, promote the education and empowerment of females, promote their prospects for earning income, and educate communities to better understand the health conditions that females face and the measures that can be taken to address them. These measures could help, among other things, to reduce sex-selective abortion, female infanticide, and violence against women, and avoid the three delays that are associated with maternal morbidity, disability, and mortality. They would also promote more attention to the overall health of females and measures to reduce in cost effective and fair ways the leading burdens of disease that females face.
Approximately 5.4 million children around the world died in 2017 before they reached their fifth birthday. This is equal to almost 15,000 young child deaths every day globally. About 47 percent of the deaths take place in the first 28 days; 28 percent in the post neonatal period; and 24 percent between the first and fourth years. The chances of survival for a newborn, an infant, and a young child are vastly different across different settings. The discrepancies within an individual country can be as wide as differences between countries. High-income countries have, on average, about 5 deaths per 1,000 live births for children younger than 5 years. However, the rate in low-income countries is 50 deaths per 1,000 live births, or 10 times higher than the rate in high-income countries. However, in some of the most fragile states the rate can go above 80, as it does in the Central African Republic and in Sierra Leone. The largest cause of death of under-5 children globally is prematurity, which killed almost 18 percent of all of those children who died before reaching age 5 in 2016. Other conditions related to birth, such as birth asphyxia and birth trauma, were responsible for 12 percent of the deaths, and congenital anomalies for almost 9 percent. Pneumonia is the most important infectious killer of children who are younger than 5 years of age and is responsible for about 16 percent of their deaths. The second most important infectious cause of illness and death among children is diarrheal disease, followed by sepsis, malaria, measles, and HIV/AIDS. The social determinants of health have a major impact on the health of young children. Poverty is a significant underlying factor of morbidity and mortality among children, as is the lack of education for mothers. Nutritional status is also a powerful determinant of whether a child lives and thrives. About 45 percent of all deaths of children under 5 years of age are related to children being undernourished. This undernourishment may stem from poor maternal nutrition, suboptimal breastfeeding, infection, or insufficient energy, protein, and the lack of key micronutrients in the child’s diet. Inadequate water and sanitation and poor hygiene practices are major risk factors for childhood illness and death. Household air pollution is also a major risk factor. There are well-known, proven, and cost-effective interventions for substantially reducing the deaths of neonates, infants, and young children. Their deaths do not stem from a failure of knowing what to do. Rather, they stem mostly from a failure to reach all children with these interventions. The key interventions can be oriented in a life-course approach— those important before pregnancy; during pregnancy, birth, and shortly after birth; those needed in the post-neonatal period; and those most important for the young child. The following will be among the most important interventions:
■ Ensuring the health and proper nourishment of the mother
■ Providing access to modern contraceptives
■ Prenatal care and micronutrient supplementation for the mother-to-be
■ Prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV/AIDS
■ Attendance at delivery by a skilled birth attendant and referral for emergency obstetric care if needed
■ Appropriate care of the newborn, special measures for low birthweight babies, and referral if needed for illness
■ Early and exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months
■ Hygienic introduction of diverse complementary foods
■ Childhood immunization
■ Bed nets for malaria and regular drug administration for worms
■ Oral rehydration for diarrhea and early diagnosis and treatment for pneumonia

Description
you get to select one of the six articles below (each of which is posted as a pdf file in the Module). Take a brief look at each of the articles to see which one appears the most interesting to you.

Self-Guided Exploration Project
The purpose of this assignment is to allow students to deeply explore a topic related to American Indian/Alaska Native people. Each student will identify a topic (e.g., tribe, event, individual, cultural art, practice, policy, etc.), develop a plan to learn about that topic, and regularly share (informally) with the class information about that topic. Students are encouraged to select topics that pique their interests; topics need not be directly related to social welfare.
Requirements:
1) Submit Topic & Plan – Each student should identify a topic and propose a brief plan of action (1 page), including references and sources for exploring the topic.
2) Research Paper – Develop an 8-10 page research paper on the topic, including relevant facts, context, and meaning surrounding the topic. Incorporate and document sources of information on the topic (including written scholarly sources, but also oral history, tribal or other AI/AN records, interviews, memoirs, etc.). Use APA style and references.
3) Presentation -Students must create a brief (5 minutes) online presentation to be shared with classmates. Students have considerable flexibility in how they present their exploration topic, they may use Powerpoint, video, audio, or any other format or medium to share this presentation.
Paper and presentation should address the following elements:
• Introduce and explain the topic.
• Provide context on the topic (e.g., the topic’s relationship to a particular time, event, Tribe, policy, contemporary representation, etc.).
• Connect the topic to materials covered in the course.
• Explore the topic’s relevance to social welfare. How is/might knowledge of this topic be incorporated into social welfare practice, policy, or research?
This is my topic for the project : Topic: The Trail of Tears
The event from the 1830s which forced the evacuation and relocation of Native Americans, especially the Cherokee Nation, from their ancestral homelands in the Southeast to modern-day Oklahoma is known as the “Trail of Tears,” a tragic period in American history. I chose to talk about the Trail of Tears because it is a painful and important event in American history that has affected Indigenous populations in the country for a long time. Indigenous peoples have been systematically oppressed and dispossessed, as seen by the forcible displacement of Native American tribes. The Trail of Tears is a moving reminder of the wrongs committed against Native Americans by the US government, showcasing their tenacious grit and fortitude in the face of hardship. Recognizing the Trail of Tears’ historical relevance is essential to understanding the current battles for social welfare, justice, and Indigenous sovereignty. The Indian Removal Act of 1830, which authorized the U.S. government to organize this tragic trek, caused thousands of Native Americans to be uprooted and many more to perish from malnourishment, famine, and exposure to hostile environments. A permanent legacy of pain and resiliency among impacted Indigenous communities, the Trail of Tears stands for a grave injustice and a grave violation of Indigenous sovereignty and rights.

Task summary:
You are to create a presentation based on Problems in Education and follow the 3 goals to complete this task. Use chapter 8 for your reference
Full order description:
Dear Freelancer,
please create a presentation
MAIN DETAILS:
Throughout the semester, we have covered numerous topics about sociology, social structure, social institutions and social problems. Numerous concepts and topics have been presented to help us understand problems/challenges such as Health Disparities (E.g. in maternal/Child Health, COVID-19 treatments), Alcohol/Drug epidemic, Poverty, Inequalities of Race, Class, Gender, Sexuality, etc., etc., Create a 5-8 minute voice or video thread in D2L discussing how the problem you selected has impacted everyday life. Use concepts from this course and sociology in general, to explain what is happening. You can record yourself talking, develop a PowerPoint, make a photovoice presentation, or anything else that comes to mind. Think of this as a short informational video that could be uploaded to YouTube or a podcast.
The goal for this exercise is to have you:
1) demonstrate understanding of what you have learned in the course by applying sociological concepts or theories
2) demonstrate knowledge of how to communicate a problem using technology, and
3) demonstrate ability to use critical-thinking, and problem-solving skills.
Choose the problem: Problems in Education
Use the textbook to get your information from Ch. 8

SOLUTIONS PROJECT
Articulate an informed vision on future research ideas AND structural solutions to your social problem. Find one country that is doing well in solving or reducing your social problem and figure out the ways in which they are going about solving or reducing this social problem. How are they making a significant impact? Find the programs or policies that are working by finding 2 scholarly peer reviewed sources (preferably sociology or criminology, but not mandatory). You may also use the country’s government websites as sources.
Create a 5-10 minute video (preferred) or prezi presentation. Explain both your literature review (social problem in the U.S.), and your structural solutions (country and policies or programs). You will present these to the class in a forum and every student will peer review 3 projects.

GUIDELINES & REQUIREMENTS
1.) Present your social problem in the US. Give an overall summary of what you learned and presented in your literature review. Give statistics to help us understand why this is an important social problem.
2.) Present your solution country. Give an overall summary of what you learned and what they are doing to reduce/solve the social problem. Give statistics that show us the difference between this country and the US, in regards to your social problem.
3.) Be very specific and give 2-3 structural solutions to your social problem (remember structural change comes from institutions – not individuals).
4.) Post your project in the assignment link as well as the Peer Review Forum. Make sure it is in a format everyone can access easily. Submit a reference page of your Solutions resources.

Tasks:
Note: You must post before you will see anyone else’s posts.
1/Original post
After watching the lecture video and reading your required readings for the module, write a post or post a video that addresses 3 of the following 4 prompts in 350 original words or up to 8 mins of audio/video recording:
1/ Your answer to the question about the Kinsey material from the lecture video.
2/ A paragraph on how gay gang members negotiated their identities in light of others’ reactions to them (Panfil chapter)
3/ A consideration of what was said about hate crime laws in the video from the Transgender Law Center and how the main ideas forwarded relate to ideas or perspectives from our class.
4/ An analysis of the experiences outlined on traveling while transgender in light of specific ideas from lecture.
2/Response:
Analyze a student’s post who has not yet been responded to (ideally) in an original post that brings in new ideas from class materials and cites them explicitly (e.g., Swan Module 11 Lecture Video 2024; Panfil 2017: page number). (150-word min). Remember the goal of the response is to continue deepening the discussion by adding new information and sharing your take on the material.
