Due Thursday

Congratulations, you made it to Week 5! In this final week of class, we investigate social change. Particularly, we will look at how social change occurs and why there can be so much resistance to it. We also investigate the growth of communities from prehistory through the present, as well as the relationship between people’s health, their geographic distribution, and the social groups to which they belong.

Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words:

Describe the health of the people in your community.

• Do you think it is better than average, average, or worse than average?
• Is access to healthcare something you feel requires a change at a societal level?
• If so, how can you leverage what you have learned over the last five weeks to enact that type of change?
• If not, how can you leverage what you have learned over the last five weeks to explain why the change is unnecessary?
