Alterations of the Endocrine Function

/in /by

C.B. is a significantly overweight, 48-year-old woman from the Winnebago Indian tribe who had high blood

sugar and cholesterol levels three years ago but did not follow up with a clinical diagnostic work-up. She

had participated in the state’s annual health screening program and noticed that her fasting blood sugar

was 141 and her cholesterol was 225. However, she felt “perfectly fine at the time” and could not afford

any more medications. Except for a number of “female infections,” she has felt fine until recently. Today,

she presents to the Indian Hospital general practitioner complaining that her left foot has been weak and

numb for nearly three weeks and that the foot is difficult to flex. She denies any other weakness or

numbness at this time. However, she reports that she has been very thirsty lately and gets up more often

at night to urinate. She has attributed these symptoms to the extremely warm weather and drinking more

water to keep hydrated. She has gained a total of 65 pounds since her last pregnancy 14 years ago, 15

pounds in the last 6 months alone.

Framing an Issue From the Sociological Perspective

/in /by

Create a 5-6 page paper on either same-sex marriage or immigration policy.You need 6 credible scholarly

sources to support your presentation.
Many of the current political, legal, and social debates in U.S. society concern diversity and its related

issues. Two of those debates have centered on immigration policy and same-sex marriage. These debates

involve not only arguments regarding discriminatory treatment of particular ethnic groups or sexual

minorities but also legal, economic, and religious questions and concerns.
In this assessment, you apply the sociological perspective to one of these debates. You research the

political players and key arguments on the different sides of your chosen controversy, and you place them

in historical and contemporary context to gain a deeper understanding of the causes and consequences

of the debate, and current and proposed policy solutions. Understanding the key developments and policy

changes that pertain to your debate puts you in a position in which you can more accurately evaluate the

merits of arguments made by politicians, leaders, and others with a stake in shaping future policy

decisions.
