  • Title: The Sociological Impact of Human Activity on Income and Health Inequities

     
    Assignment Topic
    The purpose of this assignment is to draft the sociological impact analysis section of your news article.
    More specifically, you will focus on the human activity you researched for the article summary you wrote last week in terms of its inequitable impacts. In particular, you must consider how the activity you have chosen impacts some groups of people more positively or more negatively than others. Here are a few examples.
    Income: High-income, middle-income, and low-income 
    Ability: People with disabilities, the able-bodied
    Health: People with pre-existing medical conditions, those in good health
    Age: Seniors, the middle-aged, and younger people
    Location: Rural, suburban, and urban dwellers
    Citizenship: Citizens, legal residents, undocumented migrants
    This is not meant to be a comprehensive list–there are many other possible groupings. If you have an idea that is not on this list, you may wish to consult with your instructor to make sure it is appropriate.
    Note that the same activity could be beneficial, harmful, or neutral depending on the group. Moreover, everyone belongs to all of these groups in one category or another. For instance, someone could be low-income, disabled, in good health, middle-aged, rural, and a citizen. Based on each of these characteristics, the human activity in question may impact this person in a variety of ways.
    Assignment Requirements
    Consider the inequitable impacts of the human activity you selected on two groups. For example, you could choose to focus on income and health. Select the groups that highlight the inequity in the human activity you have chosen.
    Incorporate research findings by including at least two direct quotations from your research. These quotations could be from the article you summarized previously, or from additional sources you read, or a combination of the two.
    Source use must follow APA guidelines for both in-text citations and the References page.
