Wolf Joan B. 2007. Is Breast Really Best

Reading Response: The readings are: Wolf, Joan B. 2007. “Is Breast Really Best? Risk and also Total Motherhood in the National Breastfeeding Awareness Campaign.” Journal of Health Politics, Policy and Law 32(4): 595-636.
Cockrill, K., & Nack, A. (2013). “I’m not that type of person”: managing the stigma of having an abortion. Deviant Behavior, 34(12), 973-990.

The questions are:

1. A) What is Wolf arguing? B) What is “total motherhood”

2. A) What is stigbikma and B) what is abortion stigma?

More details;

Firstly, from June 2004 to April 2006, cosponsored by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and also the Ad Council, the National Breastfeeding Awareness Campaign (NBAC) warned women that not breast-feeding put babies at risk for a variety of health problems. “You’d never take risks before your baby is born. Additionally, why start after?” asked televised public service announcements over images of pregnant women logrolling and also riding a mechanical bull.The NBAC, and particularly its message of fear, neglected fundamental ethical principles regarding evidence quality, message framing, and cultural sensitivity in public health campaigns. The campaign was based on research that is inconsistent, lacks strong associations, and does not account for plausible confounding variables, such as the role of parental behavior, in various health outcomes.It capitalized on public misunderstanding of risk and risk assessment by portraying infant nutrition as a matter of safety versus danger and then creating spurious analogies. It also exploited deep-seated normative assumptions about the responsibility that mothers have to protect babies and children from harm and was insufficiently attentive to the psychological, socioeconomic, and political concerns of its intended audience.

Critical analysis of the NBAC suggests that future health campaigns would benefit from more diverse review panels and from a greater focus on providing accurate risk information about probabilities and trade-offs in order to enable informed decision making.

Ethics How does one renew marriage for Buber

 

Answer the question by watching the YouTube video and write the essay closely to what the video said but provide quotes from the document I have provided.


More details;

This paper proposes that contained within Martin Buber’s works one can find useful support for, and insights into, an educational philosophy that stretches across, and incorporates, both the human and non-human worlds.

Through a re-examination of his seminal essay Education and with reference to specific incidents in his autobiography (e.g. the horse, his family, the theatre and the tree) and to central tenets of his theology (e.g. the shekina, the Eternal Thou and teshuvah) we shall present a more coherent understanding of Buber’s notion of relationship which is developmental in nature and posits intrinsic, necessary and unavoidable relational ties to both the human and non-human worlds.

This understanding of Buber’s view of relationship as a developmental process will add new meaning to his central ideas of ‘bursting asunder’ the educational relationship and the educator who is cast ‘in imitatio Dei absconditi sed non ignoti’. Ultimately this paper wants to suggest that, for Buber, the infant is unable to become fully adult without being immersed in relationship and then coming to full awareness of it, and it is the educator who can play a pivotal role in supporting the development of this adult relationality through encounters with both individual humans and the larger non-human world.

Louis Vuitton Case Study alternatives and recommendations Analysis

/in /by

This is a paper that is focusing on the student to analyze Louis Vuitton Case Study alternatives and recommendations Analysis. The paper also provides additional information to use in the writing of this assignment paper. Below is the description for the assessment:

Louis Vuitton Case Study alternatives and recommendations Analysis

Case Study #1 – Louis Vuitton, page 296. The assignment needs to be at least 3-4 pages in length. Be sure to follow the APA formatting for this assignment.

What are the critical issues or problems? What are the alternatives? Also, what recommendations can be made? How can you justify your strategy? At least 3-5 journal articles required.

What is a Case Study?

There is no universally accepted definition for a case study, and the case method means different things to different people. Consequently, all case studies are not structured similarly, and variations abound in terms of style, structure and approach. Case material ranges from small caselets (a few paragraphs to one-two pages) to short cases (four to six pages) and from 10 to 18 page case studies to the longer versions (25 pages and above).

A case is usually a “description of an actual situation, commonly involving a decision, a challenge, an opportunity, a problem or an issue faced by a person or persons in an organization.” In learning with case studies, the student must deal with the situation described in the case, in the role of the manager or decision maker facing the situation.

Louis Vuitton Case Study alternatives and recommendations Analysis

An important point to be emphasize here is that a case is not a problem. A problem usually has a unique, correct solution. On the other hand, a decision-maker faced with the situation described in a case can choose between several alternative courses of action, and each of these alternatives may plausibly be supported by logical argument. To put it simply, there is no unique, correct answer in the case study method.

Please use the following guidelines:

Case Study Analysis

Case study analysis gives students an opportunity to apply theory learned in the classroom to real world situations.  Also, case studies do not have discrete answers.  Rather, they challenge students to exercise their own business judgment in a supportive, educational environment.  Students test their knowledge by analyzing situations; defining problems or issues; evaluating alternatives and/or forming conclusions to resolve the problem or issue; and making recommendations.

Discuss our founding fathers perspective on minority rights protection

/in /by

This is a paper that is requiring the students to discuss our founding fathers perspective on minority rights protection. The paper also provides additional information to use in the writing of the assignment paper. Below is the assignment description:

Discuss our founding fathers perspective on minority rights protection

Our Founding Fathers considered the protection of minority rights as those few individuals who retained control over society. These individuals were property holders, policy makers or those who possessed positions of power. Many today believe that minority rights are protecting special classes as those who possess certain ethnic traits or other characteristics. As monarchies and despots primarily ruled the world, America’s Founding Fathers properly came to reason that their intent to establish a successful republican government would in fact be an anomaly.

Of primary concern was to gather the support of man to subscribe to this new “social contract” thereby relinquishing some rights for the betterment of society. These elites sought to establish a new power structure to assure their position as American elites and not subjects to the Crown. Convincing the masses to join in this revolution required careful manipulation of the masses. Students are asked to contemplate the following question: “What were the primary motivating factors for America’s Founding Fathers to rebel against England?”

Discuss our founding fathers perspective on minority rights protection

YOUR TASK FOR THIS PAPER IS TO ADDRESS THE FOLLOWING POINTS:
America’s Founding Fathers identified themselves as elites requiring protection against majority factions. Were they more concerned about overreaching government power or the mass class? What measures did the Founders engage to manipulate the masses to support the American Revolution and elite control over public policy?

One may argue that elites still govern our society. If so, then how do today’s elites manipulate the masses to maintain legitimacy? Secondly, are the measures identical to those undertaken by our Founding Fathers?
Thirdly, identify significant specific instances where the degree of legitimacy bestowed on elite leaders has dipped. What would happen if the majority of citizens lose faith in policy makers? Would the result be the destruction of our system or would nothing change?
What is your opinion about protecting minority rights against majority factions? Additionally, do the various checks and balances of our system protect “the people” or today’s ruling class? Has the system really changed throughout our nation’s history?

PAPER LAYOUT

It is recommended that your paper be laid out in the following manner:
Coversheet: Paper title, name, class, section number, e-mail address and instructor’s name.

Introduction: Begin your paper with an introduction that tells the reader how your paper is going to be laid out. Never assume the reader already knows about the subject you are writing about. Tell the reader (Dr. T) what you are writing about all while thinking about the following phrase “Here is the path I’m taking you down and here is why!”
Body: This is the “guts” of your paper.
Conclusion: State how the American Political System can be improved.

The Black Female and the Harlem Renaissance

It was during the 1920�s that a “New Negro” came into being. With the end of World War I and the beginning of the roaring twenties. Black Americans flocked from the rural South to the urban North in search of a better life. The capital of this new world had become Harlem, New York, and it was here that African-American life and culture experience a rebirth during the Harlem Renaissance.

The bulk of immigrants to Harlem consisted of intellectuals, writers, artists, musicians, and entertainers. This included the elite group of middle class black Americans described by W.E.B. Du Bois as the “Talented Tenth.” This group, although under the leadership of Du Bois, Alain Locke, and other male figures, included women who were leaders and influential figures in their own right. The problem, according to Carole Marks, director of Black Studies and associate professor of sociology at the University of Delaware. Was that women’s roles varied distinctly from those of their male associates. The acceptable role of the female in the Harlem Renaissance was that of salon hostess or entertainer.
