Choose ONE of the following (same directions as all previous discussions
Identify and elaborate on two major health issues facing women or men. Explain the influence of gender in regard to cultural norms, access to resources, power, stress etc. that influence the health issue. Be specific. Support your findings.
Provide information regarding health care professionals' bias against men and women. Do they diagnose the same? Treat the same? More likely to find pathology in one group than the other? Provide support. This is not an attack on health care professionals; we know it happens without their malicious intent. :)
Look up a journal article on the differences between men and women in regard to marital satisfaction and the benefits of marriage. Report the findings and elaborate on your reasoning for the findings or the implications of the findings. Support your ideas.
Research the difference between internalizing behaviors and externalizing behaviors in regard to female and male coping and its relationship to mental illness/issues/problems. Be specific.
Describe differences between males and females in regard to seeking preventative health measures, seeking formal health care (both physical and mental), and the obstacles for care facing both genders. You may even note how limitations worsen for people who are transgendered.
Make a discussion topic of your choosing as long as it applies and is relevant to the readings assigned this week. I'm very lenient with this topic choice, but do it well! (Examples: Male vs. Females perspectives of marriage, Jealousy in males vs. females, Reasons for infidelity for males vs. females.... the list can go on )
