Explain how learning about the work will help you in your life and career.

As we learned in Week 1, there is a difference between being educated and simply trained. The purpose of education is not only to determine what someone can do, but also what kind of person they become as a result of their education. Studies in the humanities will advance the communication skills, empathy, self-awareness, judgment, and professionalism of students, and they help students with becoming skilled at the social and cultural context of working with people.
In addition, studying the humanities can help students in the following ways:
Literature can introduce students to life situations with which they may not be familiar.
Drama can teach oral communication.
Philosophy can teach skills of analysis and argument.
Art, literature, drama. and music are expressions of human creativity, and taking part in some form of artistic activity, either as reader or viewer, is part of what makes us human.
For this assignment, choose a work of art that made an impression on you during this course. Then, address the following:
Include an image of or link to the work.
Identify the artist, the title, date completed, and the medium.
Explain how learning about the work will help you in your life and career. Consider the context in which the work was created and the meaning of the work.
Explain how one or more specific disciplines (literature, drama, philosophy, art, music) influenced you.
Examine the effect that you think this class could have on your career and personal life.

Which framework offers the most promising pathway to health equity and justice?

1. In her TED talk, Kimberlé Crenshaw said: “When there is no name for a problem, you can’t
see that problem. And when there is no name for a problem, you pretty much can’t solve it”
(Crenshaw 2016). How does the framework of intersectionality help you to understand the
causes of race-based health inequities?

2. Laurencin and Walker write that “public health officials and policymakers need to treat racial
profiling and adverse policing as true public health issues and recognize the scenarios in
which medical effects can take place in Black Americans and minorities” (2020, 396). One of
the crucial points that Laurencin and Walker make is that it is not only instances in which
police violence and brutality lead to bodily harm and death that adversely affect the health
of entire communities. In your opinion, what are the three most important points that
Laurencin and Walker make in their article? And why are these points important?

3. Reflecting on the forms of racism and discrimination she experienced while giving birth to
her daughter, Serena Williams wrote: “Every mother, regardless of race or background,
deserves to have a healthy pregnancy and childbirth. I personally want women of all colors
to have the best experience they can have” (Williams 2018). In your opinion, which of the
three frameworks (intersectionality, structural competency, or the ecosocial approach) is
most effective at illuminating the factors that were underlying Serena Williams’ experience?
Which framework offers the most promising pathway to health equity and justice?
