Describe how the words we use to discuss gender and sexuality shape our perception of what is considered normal or abnormal. Provide an example within your response.

OverviewIn this journal activity, you will explore the ways in which use of language influences perceptions of human behavior.ScenarioTo better understand the elements that shape our view of human abnormality, Jamal has begun to reflect on his own lived experiences. During Jamal’s adolescence, no element seemed more powerful to him than language. Jamal clearly recalls boys taunting him as he prepared for gym class, “Hey freak, you’re in the wrong locker room!” Likewise, when boys and girls would disperse into gender-specific groups, Jamal often found himself gravitating toward the girls because they didn’t appear to be as mean as the boys; however, his female peers felt that he was too “weird” to be included in their clique. For Jamal, these emotionally painful events caused him to experience feelings of confusion, ostracism, isolation, and despair.For as long as he can recall, Jamal has had difficulty identifying with society’s views of gender and sexuality. He has never felt as though he is singularly male or female; these categories have simply never aligned with his idealized self-concept. Likewise, Jamal has never felt as though he was exclusively gay. On the contrary, he has always felt as though he could fluidly move between sexual orientations, depending on the situation and context, as though human sexuality existed on a spectrum from heterosexual to homosexual. For these reasons, Jamal has recently begun to identify as bisexual and gender non-binary and, for the first time in his life, feels normal.The word abnormal carries a lot of humanistic weight. Like a practitioner who is bound by ethical codes of conduct to ensure that no harm is done within the scope of clinical practice, each of us has a moral obligation to ensure that we don’t inflict psychological harm on others—intentionally or unintentionally—with the language we use when discussing gender and sexuality. As we learn to value our individual differences, one idea resonates: It’s our implicit responsibility to embrace all people with compassion, empathy, and acceptance as they attempt to be what comes most naturally: themselves.PromptThe following resources support your work on this activity:For this journal activity, you will focus on the influence of language on shaping perceptions of human behavior. Specifically, consider how the words we use can have a dramatic positive or negative influence on how we view the biological, psychological, and social orientations of others. Respond to the following prompts with a minimum of 3 to 5 sentences. Address the rubric criteria listed below and support your answers with a credible source when necessary.Describe how the words we use to discuss gender and sexuality shape our perception of what is considered normal or abnormal.

How do you explain the change in the segment margin ratio?

Raner, Harris, & Chan is a consulting firm that specializes in information systems for medical and dental clinics, The firm has two offices—one in Chicago and one in Minneapolis. The firm classifies the direct costs of consulting jobs as variable costs. A contribution format segmented income statement for the company’s most recent year is given below:Required:1. By how much would the company’s net operating income increase if Minneapolis increased its sales by $75,000 per year? Assume no change in cost behavior patterns.2. Refer to the original data.

Assume no change in fixed costs.(a)Prepare a new segmented income statement for the company using the above format. Show both amounts and percentages.(b) Observe from the income statement you have prepared that the contribution margin ratio for Chicago has remained unchanged at 70% (the same as in the above data) but that the segment margin ratio has changed. How do you explain the change in the segment marginratio?

****NEED THIS ASSIGNMENT COMPLETE BY 11PM EASTERN TONIGHT!!!!*******Check attachment to see CHARTS!!!***Topic – Causes of Death in 1980 and 2014According to the 1980 Census, the United States population was approximately 226,540,000 in 1980, and according to US Census Bureau estimates, approximately 317,300,000 at the beginning of 2014. Using Census data for 1980 and estimates derived from mortality data and census estimates for 2014, we arrive at the population estimates given in the table below: YearTotal PopulationAges 15–24Ages 25–44Ages 45–64 1980226,540,00042,475,00062,707,00044,497,000 2014317,300,00046,000,00087,000,00080,000,000The National Center for Health Statistics published a document entitled “Health, United States, 2015: With Special Feature on Racial and Ethnic Health Disparities” that includes a table listing the leading causes of death in both 1980 and 2014 for various categories of Americans. Under the Project Instructions link in Blackboard, you’ll find Discussion Board Forum 2: Data; this is a spreadsheet showing the leading causes of death in both 1980 and 2014 for these 3 age categories. Each of the first 3 questions has both a computational part and a discussion part. To get full credit for each of the discussion parts please support the reason you provide by citing a reference. This should not be an excessively difficult task: you can easily find information online for most of the illnesses or other causes listed in the report. All you need to do is provide the website you used (though other resources are also permitted if you prefer to use one of those). 1. Assuming that the population numbers in the above table are relatively accurate, use the Discussion Board Forum 2: Data spreadsheet to compute the deaths per 1000 people for each age group in both 1980 and 2014. Do not round your answer to the nearest whole number, provide at least 2 decimal places. Give these 6 values (e.g. deaths per 1000 people for ages 15–24 in 1980) and then cite a reference to discuss what might account for the changes between the deaths per 1000 in 1 of these 3 age categories between 1980 and 2014. Your discussion should be at least 40 words. 2. Besides the changes in the overall death rate in the past 3 decades, the leading causes of death vary somewhat between 1980 and 2014. Choose 1 of the 3 age ranges and select 1 cause of death from the Discussion Board Forum 2: Data spreadsheet that strikes you as noteworthy and that appears in both the 1980 and 2014 lists. For the cause of death that you selected, compute the number of deaths per 1000 in both 1980 and 2014 for your chosen age group. Do not round your answer to the nearest whole number, provide at least 2 decimal places. Cite a reference to discuss the possible reasons for any changes in the rates over this period. Your discussion should be at least 40 words. 3. Not only do the leading causes of death vary across time, they vary significantly for different age ranges. Looking only at the 2014 data, choose a cause of death that appears in both the 25–44 and 45–64 age categories and compute the number of deaths per 1000 people for both age categories. Do not round your answer to the nearest whole number, provide at least 2 decimal places. Cite a reference to discuss a possible reason for any differences in these values as people advance in age. Your discussion should be at least 40 words. 4. Contemplating causes of death might strike some people as unpleasant or even morbid. However, the Bible encourages us to give some thought to the fact of our own mortality. Ecclesiastes 7:2–4 says: “It is better to go to the house of mourning than to go to the house of feasting, for this is the end of all mankind, and the living will lay it to heart. Sorrow is better than laughter, for by sadness of face the heart is made glad. The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning, but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.” It is interesting to consider why the author of Ecclesiastes encourages the wise to go to the house of mourning and the living to lay the end of all mankind to heart. What value might there be in thinking about the, admittedly uncomfortable, subject of the end of all mankind? What comes to your mind when you consider this topic? Please respond with at least 80 words.
