Many Jewish, Christian, and Muslim women choose to dress modestly. Read the following article “My Year of Modesty” at this link:http://www.salon.com/2013/07/02/my_year_of_modesty/. Considering the differing views of women in religion as well as this author’s opinion of the modern world, what do you think about women dressing modestly—for religious reasons or otherwise? Some people, such as in France where burkas are now outlawed, think differently as you can see in this link: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1279349/Burka-rage-female-lawyer-rips-veil-Muslim-woman-French-clothes-store.html What is your response to the situation in France?

How does the current debate on race relations/Black Lives Matter movement (after the killing of George Floyd) connect to race issues in Africa?

The answer is just one paragraph each, that's it. e.x

The common thread tying the BLM movement and the varied experiences of African women across the diaspora is resisting anti-Blackness. Anti-Blackness targets and marginalizes Back people particularly in the U.S. but also around the world in different ways across contexts but fundamentally results in discrimination against Black people that leaves them disadvantaged compared to white and even some non-Black POC in terms opportunities, health, security, finances, socialization, and pretty much every shared systemic aspect of life. I am hoping this course will inform the specific ways in which not only such movements but also people are connected, diverse, and perhaps most importantly united in generating long-term change to sustain equity.

For each of the following case studies, play the role of a clinician and make the most accurate diagnosis possible from the given information.

7. Sarah has an unrealistic fear of shopping in crowded stores and walking through crowded streets. She has begun to spend more and more time home alone in order to avoid the panicky feeling she gets when she goes out in public.

8. Emmit, who has just suffered a serious knee injury, cannot undergo an MRI because he has an irrational fear of narrow, enclosed places that he developed after he got stuck in a well when he was a kid.

9. Lately, Jon has been getting into physical fights and recently got arrested for trying to steal a car. When his mom went to bail him out of jail, she told police officers that she doesn’t know what to do with her son, as he lacks remorse for his behavior. She also revealed that this has been going on for a long time – when he was a kid, he would even throw rocks at the stray cats in the neighborhood.

10. Sam's friends are starting to worry about him. Normally energetic and fun-loving, Sam has become withdrawn and sullen. He has lost weight, is constantly tired, and hasn't been showing up to lacrosse practice or to his fraternity meetings. In his conversations with others, he expresses feelings of doubt and unworthiness, and seems to be showing some risk factors for suicide.

11. What are some risk factors for suicide? Name at least three. What would you do if Sam (the case above) was your friend and you were worried he might be thinking about suicide? Answer not as a clinician, but as a caring friend for this question.

A 40-year-old male meter technician had just completed a seven-week basic lineman training course. He worked as a meter technician during normal working hours and as a line during unplanned outages. One evening, he was called to repair a power outage at your company. By the time he arrived at the site of the outage, he had already worked two hours of overtime and worked 14 straight hours the day before. At the site, a tree limb had fallen across an overhead power line. The neutral wire in the line was severed and the two energized 120-volt wires were disconnected. The worker removed the tree limb and climbed up a power pole to reconnect the three wires. He was wearing insulated gloves, a hard hat, and safety glasses. He prepared the wires to be connected. While handling the wires, one of the energised wires caught the cuff of his left glove and pulled the cuff down. The conductor contacted the victim's forearm near the wrist. He was electrocuted and fell backwards. Paramedics arrived five minutes after the contact. Firefighters lowered his dead body 30 minutes later. Based on the report, it is vital that this kind of accident should never have happened again. The upper management wants you to create based on the incident that happened, formulate a 10 Step Safety Operating Procedure (SOP) that can cover the element of hazard and mistakes being done. The SOP should have their own justification on why it is needed.
