In the 41 countries ranked as developed, mothers are guaranteed a one-year maternal leave with a salary. In 34 countries out of these developed countries, fathers also enjoy paid leave benefits of about two weeks, either in the form of parental or paternity leave. Compared to other developed countries, the U.S. ranks poorly not only in providing parental leave but also in terms of providing working parents with paid vacation leave. In terms of sick days, the World Policy Forum’s data indicates that the U.S. is the only country among the high-income nations that does not guarantee paid sick leave (Alonso-Villar, Del Rio, & Gradin, 2012). Among the 41 nations ranked as developed, the least amount of paid leave provided to new parents is a minimum of two months. Countries like Norway, Japan, Bulgaria, Austria, Hungary, Slovakia, Estonia, Slovenia, and Latvia have family leave policies that guarantee new parents more than a year’s paid leaves. According to Livingston, & Thomas,

Climate justice

/in , /by

Climate change disproportionately affects communities of color; in the form of communities of color living near more polluted areas, poorer nations facing the brunt of the economic and ecological impact, etc. Racial inequality also means these communities that suffer the most adverse effects, also have the fewest resources to combat these issues. Now, more than ever, we need to work towards climate justice and an equitable future for everyone.

Prompt: Write a paper (3 page minimum – double spaced, Times New Roman 12, word doc) on how Climate Change Disproportionately Affects BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) Communities. You should focus on finding papers that address this issue, summarize the key points and also provide a personal reflection on the topic.
Resource citations are not included in the page count.

Answer preview

Climate change has impacted economies in the developing world more than developed countries. There has been a steady upsurge in temperature over the last sixty years due to global warming. Studies show that the temperature distribution is not even, and tropical regions got the lion’s share. Republics in Sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East that were already hot are being heated to unbearable temperatures. High temperature creates an unconducive working environment. Temperature directly affects productivity. The countries are unable to produce products to their full potential. As a result, the nations’ economic growth is stunted.

Therefore, to avoid social clashes, it is necessary to advocate for gender rights while respecting people’s values and beliefs. To do this, advocates should use the aspects of the target culture that support gender rights instead of trying to introduce new beliefs. For example, when promoting gender rights in the Muslim community, one should seek Islamic values that support gender rights instead of fighting the religion itself. It is because, in the Muslim community, there are also gender rights advocates who use religion to fight gender inequality (Falling Walls Foundation, 2016). Also, advocates should educate people on the importance of gender equality in the growth of the economy. It is because when women participate in money-earning activities, they can assist men in building the economy (Wadud, 2012).

Another way that technology has blurred the lines between professional and personal life is through telecommunication. Today, it is hard to articulate the exact time that one is supposed to work and have personal time because of the 24/7 work environment. That is, work tasks have found their way into home times (Noonan & Glass, 2012) because one can work online from home. Due to this, people are living a blend of personal and professional life at the same time. Traditionally, the home was meant for personal life where someone could play with kids or rest on the bed. Nowadays, homes have become offices when some people even work in the comfort of their beds.

Discussion: Prejudice, Assimilation, and Discrimination in a Global Context

The interaction of diverse racial and ethnic groups throughout the world is often associated with a history of prejudice and conflict. Many factors have contributed to the nature of this interaction such as colonialism, modernization, economic competition, labor demands, language, religion, ideology, and national policies. South Africa and Brazil provide contrasting cases studies. Understanding their recent history can be instructive in informing how race and ethnic challenges are addressed in other parts of the world.

In this week’s Discussion, you will analyze the historical background and treatment of racial and ethnic groups within South Africa, Brazil, or a country of your choosing, other than the country where you currently reside.

Note: In Week 3 and Week 4 Discussions, you are required to choose different racial or ethnic groups to analyze (a United States group in Week 3 and a Non-United States group in Week 4). For your Course Project you must use one of the groups you chose in either Week 3 or 4 to be the focus of your analysis.

To prepare:

By Day 3

Post an analysis of the country you chose by addressing the following:

  • Identify the country’s major racial or ethnic groups.
  • Analyze the historical background and treatment of that country’s racial or ethnic groups, highlighting 2–3 important economic, social, and political forces that have shaped their experiences and/or pivotal events that were key turning points.
  • Provide 2–3 examples of discrimination or other social challenges that help shed light on the historical realities of race and ethnic interactions.
  • Compare the participation rates, employment levels, and income levels of the major racial or ethnic groups in that country.
  • Analyze 1–2 key policies that seek to address racial and ethnic issues.
  • Analyze foreseeable challenges this country might face as a result of emerging trends in racial and ethnic interactions.

Answer preview

The racial and ethnic groups in South Africa were established during the colonial period. Later, the government introduced numerous legislations during the apartheid period, which determined the economic, social, and political experiences of the various ethnic groups. For instance, the whites were the only ones who had the right to access state protection and to vote. Economically, access to official and skilled jobs gave priority to the whites, and they had the right to own means of production. Socially, the blacks were believed to be inferior compared to other groups. Discrimination in South Africa is demonstrated in various ways. For example, whites were given higher quality services compared to blacks. Some hospitals, buses, and beaches were reserved for the whites. Also, there was a separate education system for the blacks to equip them with skills for the laboring class.

Going global is not enough, especially with the rapidly growing and evolving fast food industry characterized by numerous local and international competitors. As such, McDonald’s instituted other strategies that would assist the company to retain its status within the global market (Ghobadian & O’Regan, 2014). Doing this will not be easy, considering the dynamism of the food industry. Unlike before, people are now more concerned about their diet choices. Consumers are moving away from the consumption of fast foods since they consider them as unhealthy. McDonald’s needs to address such issues within their strategies if they wish to remain among the most popular and profitable companies. One of the reasons the company has so far managed to conquer the global market is its innovative internationalization strategies (Ghobadian & O’Regan, 2014).

part 1: In this assignment, you will construct a chart that organizes your research and allows you to analyze each one across certain key dimensions. See the following example to get an idea of how you can prepare such a chart. You may need to add categories to your chart, appropriate for your own research. Organize the chart in a logical way, for example, by date of research, by program or intervention you are studying, or by any other criterion, which makes sense for your particular literature review. Use color-coding within the chart as an additional organization tool.

part 2: Before beginning to write your literature review, it is essential to develop an outline. The outline will show the organization of your ideas, and the order in which you plan to present them. Note the references you currently have for each topic, and the topics that need further research before you write your final paper.

Create an outline of the ideas that you have gathered so far. This outline will serve as the structure for your paper. Therefore, it must be well organized and logical. With the assistance of your instructor, you will revise the outline as necessary for better structure or to include necessary, but missing points, in the argument or supportive research.

Included in this week’s Books & Resources is an example of an outline on literature related to programs on bullying in schools. Your literature review may be organized differently, as it will relate to the particular problem you are studying and its important points and aspects. You will also need to note at least three references for each subtopic you list. Submit your outline, along with a reference list that reflects the research you noted in your outline. Your faculty will guide you concerning any improvements you need to make in the structure or content of your outline.

There is a significant difference in the prevalence of Schizophrenia based on the difference between cultures in delusions. Western cultures, like the U.S., show high incidences of depressive symptoms, thoughts, and delusions than other cultures of developing countries (Lundbeck Institute Campus, 2016). Schizophrenia is a common disorder in the U.S. in various local communities, such as New York. The incidences are highest among the homeless and the war veterans. On the other hand, these developing countries report high visual and acoustic hallucinations high incidences than the west.  This paper explains the extent of Schizophrenia in developed countries like the U.S. and developing countries like Nigeria, Ghana, among others.

China negotiation process. According to Gong (2020), the trade conflict between the US and China began after President Trump occupied the white house. In 2018 President Trump announced that the US would increase its taxes on Chinese imports.  This has led to the US and China rivalry to intensify.  President Trump administration announced an increment of the import taxes from 10 to 25 percent on $200 billion of Chinese imports.  President Trump accused China of tracking on the commitment in the earlier negotiations, which attributed to the US increasing its import taxes on Chinese goods.  In reiteration, China announced that it would raise its import tariff on the $60 billion worth of American goods.  China announced that it would lift its import tariffs from a range of 5 and 10 to 25 percent, whereby most of the goods will be taxed on the upper limit.

Anthropological perspective

According to the two readings, how is an anthropological perspective insightful and useful for tackling public health before and during the Covid-19 pandemic? In what sense is the pandemic not purely a medical issue? How do we understand the pandemic through a cultural lens that is not perpetuating but alleviating public health disparities? And overall, what are some of the keywords and concepts that you can take away this week?

Include relevant graph(s) / other image(s) / video(s) for illustration. Cite the source(s).

Based on the anthropological perspective, the pandemic is not purely a medical issue. Knowledge and insights from the anthropologists inform that issues like population displacement, social inequality, climate change, and drug resistance are significant contributors to frequent outbreaks of infectious diseases (Ennis-McMillan, & Hedges, 2020). Globalization is a significant aspect that heightened these societal issues, meaning that there is a likelihood of experiencing more outbreaks in the future. Hence, the recent case of the Covid-19 outbreak reaffirms how the human population is being affected by a pandemic that is not a medical issue.

Notably, an appropriate way to understand the Covid-19 pandemic through a cultural lens that lessens public health disparities is by factoring the anthropological perspectives.
