Discuss on the Rights, Liberty, Medicine

Discuss on the Rights, Liberty, MedicineWe will watch this 30-minute video (Links to an external site https://www.democracynow.org/2007/1/19/medical_apartheid_the_dark_history_of ), an interview with scholar Harriet Washington where she discusses her book, Medical Apartheid: The Dark History of Medical Experimentation on Black Americans from Colonial Times to the Present. It is a difficult subject, but it is also important that we confront the racism within medicine and that we are aware of the history of that racism in the United States. I recommend you take notes during the video. If you would like a pre-formatted note-taking worksheet, I like this oneThere is also a transcript of the video below the video (Links to an external site.) if you prefer. Also, please note that the video automatically begins at minute 17 which is when the segment begins. The segment runs until the end of the video, minute 49.”Getting the Mentally Ill Out of Jail and Off the Streets” Debate – Read Six Short ArticlesThe New York Times has an excellent section called Room for Debate. In this section, six experts present their opinion about one topic, from a variety of perspectives. This week, we will read all six articles (they are each short), and prepare for an in-depth discussion with one another.A few things to note.Because this discussion is so important, there will be no quiz this week. The discussion is also worth more points than usual.This discussion will prepare you for your first essay which will be related to the topic you discuss.You will learn a lot, I promise!As you read the six articles here (Links to an external site https://www.nytimes.com/roomfordebate/2016/05/09/getting-the-mentally-ill-out-of-jail-and-off-the-streets ), remember to take notes, using your annotation strategies. If you need a reminder of those strategies, here is the under-five-minute video from Long Beach City College.https://youtu.be/dzg9RFQHYDQPutting It All TogetherTake notes on the following five questions. You will be posting about each question in the discussion. This may feel like a mini-essay. That’s okay. This is actually a warm-up for your first essay and your classwork for this module! When you’re done putting your notes together, we should be able to have a great discussion!Refer to “Categories of Rights and Protections” in reading 4.2, from Module Four – Civil Rights and Liberties https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLGLqU063Qc and write about which areas from that reading apply to two points from the video (Links to an external site.), and to one point from any of the six articles (Links to an external site.).How does the Lemon Test, Blue Laws, or Free Exercise Clause apply to one or more of the ideas from the video (Links to an external site.), and/or any/all of the six articles? (Links to an external site.)How would you apply the ninth and/or tenth amendment to the issues discussed in the video (Links to an external site.), and/or any/all of the six articles (Links to an external site.)?Name five laws, rulings, or situations that you believe directly contributed to the issues discussed in the video (Links to an external site.), and explain how you feel they are connected. Is there something that you feel should change?Elaborate on one of your ideas from above (question #4), but this time connect it to a concern that was raised in one or more of the six articles (Links to an external site.). Share both what you’ve learned, and the opinions you are beginning to form as well!You may find it useful to use some of the tools in the GCC Writing Handbook Module – A Reference To Use When You Need It, specifically:Analysis & Critical ThinkingOpinions vs. IdeasIntegrating Quotes – Building a Citation SandwichPostGo through your responses to all five questions above, and edit them for clarity. Make sure you are communicating what you want to communicate. When you’re ready, post your responses to each question (number them). The posts will be fairly long. That’s okay.
