Individual and sociological explanations for select family issues

The was an article that ran on Monday, July 30th in the New York Times regarding the father in New York who unfortunately forgot his children in the car while he went to work. The article was not specifically about the story and all its details, it was about the wife’s response to the tragedy. She plead for her husbands to be spared for the awful event. Marissa A. Rodriguez stated, “I need him by my side to go through this together.” (Fitzsimmons and Hard 2019) The two have other children to raise and I think I understand her perspective.

The article was written individual explanations intended because it was providing information of how the mother felt. The author did relate some statistical data from the New York City’s Administration for Children’s Services on children and locked cars. I feel that there may be an underlying issue in the article if you look further, as a mother would you be able to forgive your husband for such a tragedy. Should he be charged with a crime even though, it implied that it was unintentional? I feel that this will be a tough situation for this family to get through, but the media will not make things any better.

2.   

Briefly describe a news story regarding a current family issue (provide link).  Do they use individual explanations or sociological/historical explanations to explain the issue?

In an article by CNN reporter Brenna Williams, a brief accumulation of historical information on interracial marriage, the Racial Integrity Act, 14th Amendment, and Mildred and Richard Loving is provided. To start, the author writes of Mildred and Richard Loving’s Supreme Court case—which ruled that miscegenation laws are unconstitutional. In fact, the justices went as far as ruling that the purpose of such laws were rooted in racism. It is also noted that it wasn’t until the year 2000, that the final state, Alabama, banned its miscegenation laws. The author also wrote that as a result Mr. and Mrs. Loving’s marriage, they were to be sentenced to either a year in prison or face a 25-year banishment from Virginia. Brenna also noted that that the Racial Integrity Act defined anyone who wasn’t entirely white as “colored”, and was put in place to prevent any form of “interracial mixing”. Overall, the article touches on several historical explanations in discussing interracial marriage.

As we learned in our reading, acceptance of interracial marriage is increasing in the United States—but still represents only a small portion of total marriages (Desmond and Emirbayer, 2010, p. 462). The stress and obstacles interracial couples face continue today, and understanding the historical context is crucial in helping ensure they are no longer discriminated against.

Case Study

Volunteers deserve assurance that what they are doing is needed. Recognition of their contributions should be a part of the formal and informal operations of any volunteer management program. This helps create a motivating climate, which can improve volunteer retention.

As executive director at literacy organization, you learned that the attrition rate you’re your volunteers started to climb, from five percent after its first 12 months to 20 percent by the end of its second year. Your board knew something needed to be done about the situation, but the members are unsure what action to take.

Are Mental Health Issues Like Depression Related to Race?

While there is a plethora of research that has examined health disparities in chronic and infectious diseases, less research has examined the relationship between diseases and mental health. Depression in particular, can be a huge risk factor for illness and disease.

Studies suggest that blacks are more depressed than whites, given their increased exposure to race-related and generic stress (George & Lynch, 2003; Brown, 2003, p. 293).

Do you agree or disagree with the statement? Why? Are depressed moods and race related? State at least two studies that refute the statement. Justify your answers with appropriate research and reasoning.

Brown, T.N. (2003). Critical race theory speaks to the sociology of mental health: Mental health problems produced by racial stratification. Journal of Health and Social Behavior, 44: 292–301.

George, L.K., and Lynch M.S. (2003). Race differences in depressive symptoms: A dynamic perspective on stress and vulnerability. Journal of Health and Social Behavior, 44, 353–69.

Developing Personal Wellness

Developing a personal health statement is a critical step in taking ownership of one’s personal wellness. Identifying personal risk factors and behaviors that lead to illness, disability, and injury help to define areas for health education, prevention, and promotion for an increased quality of life. Government agencies within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services assist individuals and community members by developing prevention policies, such as the creation of smoke-free cities to promote health and address objectives for healthier individuals, communities, workplaces, and schools.

What positive lessons can be learned about social illness prevention? What positive lessons and drawbacks can be learned about the development of health policy and individual lifestyle programs relating to personal choices? Justify your answers with appropriate research and reasoning.
