Social Construction of Health and Illness Using the Conrad & Barker (2010) reading: What is one key finding of social constructionism? Explain and provide examples. Have you noticed this before in daily life and/or the medical field? After reading the links on BMI: How is BMI socially constructed? Is using BMI a good indicator of health? Why or why not? Has the use of BMI by the medical field influenced your perception of health? Discuss. Stigma is a key concept to understanding the social construction of health and illness. Rather than reading the (long) article on this, please look up one mental health condition that is stigmatized. This may be either a current recognized mental health condition or one that has been de-pathologized. What mental health condition did you decide to look up? How does stigma affect this condition? In what ways is this condition embedded with cultural meaning? (This section should connect to the Conrad & Barker article) How do individuals come to understand and live with this illness? (This section should connect to the Conrad & Barker article) How does stigma affect the way you think about and discuss mental health? Note: you are not required to disclose your mental health status unless you are comfortable and want to. This week and last week’s content included more dense and theoretical content. Do you have any questions, comments, and/or notice any connections to your life/experiences? This section is purposely broad and intended to be as similar as possible to in-class time to discuss the material and to ask questions.

Social media is an increasingly popular form of business communication. Find at least one time a company has used a hashtag inappropriately. How did this harm the organization? What could they do differently to avoid this situation in the future? If a peer has already used an example, please use a different example in your post.

3. The two most important state taxes are income and general sales taxes, although states also make substantial use of excise taxes, direct business taxes (usually a corporate income tax), and others. List and discuss briefly four factors that might influence a state in choosing between an income and general sales tax. What is the relative reliance in your state on these two taxes? If the relative reliance in your state is different than average, speculate about why that might be so. (10 points)

When a scientist conducted a genetics experiments with peas, one sample of offspring consisted of 903 peas, with 702 of them having red flowers. If we assume, as the scientist did, that under these circumstances, there is a 3 divided by 4 probability that a pea will have a red flower, we would expect that 677.25 (or about 677) of the peas would have red flowers, so the result of 702 peas with red flowers is more than expected. a. If the scientist's assumed probability is correct, find the probability of getting 702 or more peas with red flowers. b. Is 702 peas with red flowers significantly high? c. What do these results suggest about the scientist's assumption that 3 divided by 4 of peas will have red flowers? a. If the scientist's assumed probability is correct, the probability of getting 702 or more peas with red flowers is nothing. (Round to four decimal places as needed.) b. Is 702 peas with red flowers significantly high? ▼ No, Yes, because the probability of this event is ▼ less greater than the probability cutoff that corresponds to a significant event, which is ▼ 0.95. 0.05. 0.5. c. What do these results suggest about the scientist's assumption that 3 divided by 4 of peas will have red flowers? A. Since the result of 702 peas with red flowers is significantly high, it is not strong evidence against the scientist's assumption that 3 divided by 4 of peas will have red flowers. B. Since the result of 702 peas with red flowers is not significantly high, it is strong evidence against the scientist's assumption that 3 divided by 4 of peas will have red flowers. C. Since the result of 702 peas with red flowers is significantly high, it is strong evidence supporting the scientist's assumption that 3 divided by 4 of peas will have red flowers. D. Since the result of 702 peas with red flowers is not significantly high, it is not strong evidence against the scientist's assumption that 3 divided by 4 of peas will have red flowers. E. The results do not indicate anything about the scientist's assumption. F. Since the result of 702 peas with red flowers is significantly high, it is strong evidence against the scientist's assumption that 3 divided by 4 of peas will have red flowers.

A peony plant with red petals was crossed with another plant having streaky petals. A geneticist states that 70% of the offspring resulting from this cross will have red flowers. To test this, 80 seeds from this cross were collected and germinated and 46 plants had red petals.
(a) Is there sufficient evidence at the 0.02 significance level to indicate the proportion of the hybrid plants with red petals differs from 70%? Use the P-value method in your test
(b) What would a Type I error be in this case?
