In this module, we began to cover material about cultural differences in prevalence and patterns of alcohol use, and learned that there are substantial disparities in alcohol-related problems and treatment. We are going to focus more narrowly on some of these health disparities later on in the semester, but I first want us to delve a bit deeper into differences in drinking norms across cultures.

For this assignment, you will:

  1. Choose a cultural or societal group. This can be a country (e.g., Germany, India), a racial or ethnic group (e.g., Native Hawaiian individuals, Latinx individuals), religious group (e.g., Muslim individuals, Jewish individuals), or a specific population within the United States (e.g., gender minority youth, first generation college students).
  2. Describe the role of alcohol within the group or society that you have chosen. Describe any laws, norms, functions, or history of alcohol use within this group. What can you find regarding when and why alcohol is consumed? Were you able to find information regarding how rates of drinking compare to individuals from other groups? Feel free to include any information you think is relevant or interesting. You should integrate objective findings (you must cite at least 1 academic source) along with your own thoughts and reflections.

Requirements:

  • Your assignment should be 1-2 pages (double-spaced) not including references or headings
  • You must integrate something from the required course reading or other academic/scientific sources (be sure to properly cite everything!) along with your own thoughts and reflections.

Requirements: 1-2 pages

Addressing the issue of alcoholism in the Punjabi community is undermined by conflicting cultural and religious practices. Even though alcohol addiction has been attributed to over 3.3 Million people worldwide (Sudhinaraset, Wigglesworth, & Takeuchi, 2016), people are afraid to come out and admit they are addicted to alcohol; thus, they suffer in silence. This is facilitated by drinking being considered a socially accepted practice such that alcoholism is not considered a severe problem (Taak, Brown & Perski, 2020). Those affected fear the social stigmatization they are bound to face when they admit they have serious problems related to alcohol. Actions have been taken towards resolving this issue

vBullying of any form, especially when motivated by prejudices and biases, should be discouraged and rooted out of society.

vHomophobic bullying has numerous adverse effects on LGBTQ athletes.

vIt can lead to acts of physical violence against the athletes and psychological issues such as chronic stress, depression, or anxiety.

Secondly, the organization will give opportunities for its employees to volunteer in different programs within the society aimed at helping and reducing homelessness in society. Thirdly, the organization will come up with effective programs that will help identify and help homeless people and those who are at a higher risk of becoming homeless (Rukmana, 2020). The fourth strategy is that the organization will identify and work closely with other organizations that serve homeless people, including the government. This will help it learn more from them and ask them to support its vision. The sixth strategy is that the organization will strive to donate to the existing non-governmental organizations and individuals making efforts to reduce or end homelessness in the neighborhoods. Finally, the organization aims to encourage the government to make more efforts to address homelessness in the country. According to Oudshoorn (2020), housing-based policies made by the government are among the most successful because the government has more resources that impact more people.
