What strategy has the institution that bears primary responsibility for the problem employed to legitimize their conduct?

/in /by

In this assignment, you will explore the organization’s culpability for the problem you have defined:

  • Is there evidence of corruption, prejudice and discrimination in the behavior of the organization or organizations that carry primary responsibility for the problem?
  • Does globalization play a part in the problem? Why or why not? Be sure to explain the concept of globalization.
  • What strategy has the institution that bears primary responsibility for the problem employed to legitimize their conduct? How have they justified their actions?
  • What is the organization doing to reduce or alleviate the problem? Is it doing anything? What seems to be the motivation for this action? How is the action being reported to civic groups, governmental agencies, national or international monitoring bodies and the public? Do the efforts at remediation (if there are any) appear to be succeeding

Evaluate the proposal and suggest whether you would try this weight loss system or recommend it to someone else. Explain why or why not.

/in /by

Many Americans believe that they are overweight, by a few pounds to a few hundred pounds. Because of this, weight loss systems are big business. For this assignment, you are to select a weight loss system and evaluate it in terms of the information about the physiology of ingestive behavior covered this module.

  • Find a website, a brochure, a popular article, or an advertisement about weight control that proposes a mechanism for loss of excess weight.
  • Document the key proposals in terms of the main claims for success of the program (e.g., restriction of fat and small portions).
  • Describe the reasons provided for the effectiveness of the program (e.g., a full stomach reduces hunger).
  • Discuss the physiological components involved in the weight loss program. Clearly express an understanding of the physiology of the process of hunger, satiation, eating, and drinking as relevant for the weight loss method being described (e.g., long periods between meals would be likely to reduce blood sugar levels).
  • Present a critique of the materials based on the module information on eating and weight regulation.
  • Evaluate the proposal and suggest whether you would try this weight loss system or recommend it to someone else. Explain why or why not.

For this assignment, you are required to cite, at a minimum, the online course and the textbook for the course. Additional sources are welcome. Scholarly sources are preferred and can be found in the Argosy University library located under theAcademic Resources section of Course Home. For reputable web sources, look for .gov or .edu sites as opposed to .com sites. Do not use Wikipedia.

Your paper should be double-spaced, in 12 point Times New Roman font, and with normal 1-inch margins; written in APA style; and free of typographical and grammatical errors. It should include a title page and a reference page. The body of the paper should be between 3 and 4 pages.

  • Problem
    • What is the problem?

    • Why is it a social problem? What segment of society sees the conditions as a social problem? How have the group or groups concerned about the problem responded?
    • What group or groups have been most directly impacted by the problem?
    • What types of social inequality has the problem produced? Although inequalities of wealth and/or income may be present, look beyond these to address other principle areas where inequalities may be manifest – class, gender, race, ethnicity, health, education, etc.
  • Organizational Culpability
    • Is there evidence of corruption, prejudice and discrimination in the behavior of the organization or organizations that carry primary responsibility for the problem?
    • Does globalization play a part in the problem? Why or why not? Be sure to explain the concept of globalization.
    • What strategy has the institution that bears primary responsibility for the problem employed to legitimize their conduct? How have they justified their actions?
    • What is the organization doing to reduce or alleviate the problem? Is it doing anything? What seems to be the motivation for this action? How is the action being reported to civic groups, governmental agencies, national or international monitoring bodies and the public? Do the efforts at remediation (if there are any) appear to be succeeding?

    • Cultural values, norms, folkways and mores are learned and become a part of a people’s way of life through socialization. Have these cultural elements contributed to the problem?
    • What sociological theory of stratification best helps us to understand the nature, extent and impact of the problem? Briefly summarize the main tenets of the theory and explain how it may be applied to the problem under study.
    • What roles have status, power and privilege played in conduct that has been problematic?
    • Have the problem and its attendant conditions influenced the mobility and status attainment of those involved?
    • Does globalization play a part in the problem? Why or why not? Be sure to explain the concept of globalization.
  • Conclusion
    • Can can this problem be solved? If so, identify and discuss at least two possible solutions either working now or being planned.
    • How will this problem affect the future of the social group involved?
    • What further research needs to be done on this topic?
