Films about food are an excellent way to think critically about the ideas raised so far in this course.

  
Project 1: Food Film Assignment
Films about food are an excellent way to think critically about the ideas raised so far in this course. Module 1: Edibility and Module 2: Ingredients cover cultural definitions and categorizations of food, food rules, subsistence/food getting strategies, and the commercialization of food at a global level.
I encourage you to select a film that allows you to see these issues from another culture. I will accept films about food in the US, but if you choose the US, I ask that you select a film that recognizes the vast cultural diversity found in the US.
Your film should be a minimum of 60 minutes. It should be contemporary (within the past 20 years).
Your assignment should be 3 pages (minimum) double spaced. A minimum of 750 words (~3 pages double spaced).
Part 1: Assignment
For your Assignment, I ask that you select a total of 3-4 learning objectives from chapter 1-3.  Pick learning objectives that can be addressed using the film. Thus, its best to watch the film first and then pick your objectives.
Your assignment should include:
1.  Introduction: This is a very brief (~4 sentences) summary of the film including its production details such as its release date, where it was made, and the main plot.
2. Objectives: State your objective as a header in your assignment. Then use ~1 page to explore how concepts/ideas/theories from your text can be observed in the film. Please rely on your text and my lectures! I expect you to develop well articulated arguments/statements that demonstrate anthropological ideas using the content in the film.
Grading Rubric:
The assignment is formatting according the instructions and includes all of the necessary sections [3 points]
The assignment is well written, proofread, and contains no grammatical errors [4 points]
The assignment draws on the text to explore topics relevant to the film. The analysis reflects comprehension of the concepts in the text and their appropriate application to the film’s content. This is for each of your objectives. [16 points]

A genogram is structurally like a family tree but serves a different purpose. Imagine a genogram as a family tree with much more detail about how the family members interact with one another. For example, a family tree might show us that “Emily and Kevin are married,” while a genogram could tell us that “Jon and Jenny are married, but they are emotionally distant from one another.?

Genogram A genogram is structurally like a family tree but serves a different purpose. Imagine a genogram as a family tree with much more detail about how the family members interact with one another. For example, a family tree might show us that “Emily and Kevin are married,” while a genogram could tell us that “Jon and Jenny are married, but they are emotionally distant from one another.? A genogram becomes most valuable when it includes information about several generations. Patterns that are usually hard to decipher seem to jump out once they’ve been mapped on paper. For this assignment, construct a three-generation genogram of your family to assess your family system and family culture. Your genogram is expected to be correct & professionally completed. Identify the patterns and significant themes in your family of origin using your knowledge of the family models discussed in class. Discuss how these patterns could influence or influence you as an individual, parent, and partner. In what way do you think your cultural background influences your work with families? Examine how your culture and family patterns may be a barrier or strength in working with families. Your genogram and discussion should be 2 pages (double-spaced).
 
DirectionsDevelop a genogram illustration that addresses the following criteria:

Choose a family (for this assignment, this can be your own family)
Draw three generations of genealogy, legal family, pets, and others who have played an integral role in the family, if applicable.
Use only standardized genogram symbols.
Show structure of family members: siblings, aunts/uncles, grandparents, remarriages, blended families (step-members and half-siblings), divorces, pets, close family friends, and god families.
List dates of birth/death, dates of marriage, and divorce. Include race, ethnicity, culture, place of birth, residency, cause of death, mental health, and substance abuse issues.
Identify family characteristics, i.e., family structure, type of marriage/parental union, length of the relationship, type of family, and authority pattern (who has the power). 
Identify emotional patterns, i.e., close, conflicted, cutoff, distant, unknown, passive-aggressive (or fused & conflicted).
Identify family or generational values and issues and patterns: Occupation, education, hobbies, military duty, work ethic, family business, religion, addiction/recovery, incarceration, homicide, suicide, reunions, parenting style, mental illness, emigration from the country of birth, marriage within or outside the culture, sexuality, cancer, longevity, foster care, adoption, and child abuse. Every generation manifests its values and issues differently.
Identify social patterns, i.e., neighborhoods, communities, places of worship, work and education, and social clubs.

Within the medical profession some have questioned whether individuals should be paid to donate and whether this might, with appropriate regulations, lead to greater pools for donated organs and the reduction of wait times in needed areas. The challenge then is to determine some of the ethical perspectives around this issue. Discuss both the pros and cons of pay-for-parts

  
Week 8 Case Analysis (MKT6250 Healthcare Marketing)

9781284200171_CASE_Should There Be the Marketing of Body Parts.pdf  
Read the attached case, the textbook chapters, and watch the videos to be able to analyze the case.
The issue presented in this case is a serious and difficult issue from a religious, moral and health care perspective.  There are significant wait times for organs in several important areas to maintain bodily functions for people in the U.S.  In addition to the established procedures that have been used to harvest organs, sadly there has been a black market that has also occurred for organ harvesting.  Within the medical profession some have questioned whether individuals should be paid to donate and whether this might, with appropriate regulations, lead to greater pools for donated organs and the reduction of wait times in needed areas.  The challenge then is to determine some of the ethical perspectives around this issue. 
Discuss both the pros and cons of “pay-for-parts”.

We have been discussing the issue of cultural patrimony (https://www.khanacademy.org/humanities/special-topics-art-history/arches-at-risk-cultural-heritage-education-series/trafficking-protection/a/elgin-marbles-debate) as it relates to the African artworks that were stolen/looted during European colonialist expeditions. But how has this played out in regards to Mesoamerican art? In 2020, for example, the Mexican government requested that the Vatican Library temporarily return several Pre-Columbian illuminated manuscripts to mark the painful 500th anniversary of Spain’s conquest of the Aztec Empire — what’s more, they asked for an apology from the Catholic Church “that never again will disrespectful acts be committed against their beliefs and cultures.? read https://hyperallergic.com/598115/mexico-asks-vatican-for-temporary-return-of-ancient-indigenous-manuscripts/, then answer the questions below:

Do you think this could “set a precedent” for other artifacts to be returned to their country of origin, or for similar kinds of attempts for reconciliation? Should it set a precedent, in your opinion?
What kinds of considerations do you think should be taken into consideration when it comes to deciding whether to return artifacts to their country of origin? You may bring up relevant examples from the discussion of African art last week.

Your response should be 300-400 words in length.
Do NOT conduct outside research, do not copy/paste text from an online source, do not use A.I. to generate a response…your answer should come from your own observations and/or the assigned readings/videos, the powerpoint, etc. Cases of suspected plagiarism will be addressed by the instructor.
 

People have seen consistent rates of inflation over the past several decades in healthcare. This inflation has been driven by increases in costs for health insurance, technology utilization, and demand for qualified providers and facilities. Consider the many areas in which the U.S. healthcare system has seen steady rises in costs. Imagine you are a financial manager for an organization that has seen significant cost increases in the past few years or decades in an area related to your organization (e.g., supplies, technology, outside services). Prepare an outline for a proposal on how to help reduce or minimize these costs.Use your text as a resource for this assignment plus one other resource from the library.
