What are some examples of social issues?
According to Google: A social issue is a problem that influences a considerable number of the individuals within a society. It is often the consequence of factors extending beyond an individual's control. A social issue is the source of conflicting opinions on the grounds of what is perceived as a morally just personal life or societal order.Practically speaking social issues are generally limited to domestic public policy issues. Military policies for instance certainly fit this definition, but are not normally considered social issues.In American politics that is still a pretty diverse range of topics.Drug useDrug availabilityPovertyEducationInterstate HighwaysTransportation and shipping networksGun ViolenceGun availability, licensing, testing, insurance etc.Pregnancy, prenatal careSexual Violence, HarassmentRacial disparitiesEconomic disparitiesEqual protection and civil rightsetc.Huge list. It is literally any public issue or factor which affect how people interact. In the US, the public policy argument is generally not how to address the issue, but what definition of government limits the involvement of government in the issue. Which on the face of it is pretty indefensible, but Pres. Trump and Paul Ryan are happy to give it a shot.See The Social Issues You Care About Most for another list.
How do I start off my persuasive speech on breast cancer?
latoya, I gave part of this answer to a similar question some time ago and I repeat it here for you. Having presented many lectures in my time, you have to limit your ideas in accordance with the type of audience that you expect to present your speech to. Health professionals would expect a different presentation than members of the general public. I would make a few points on the subject - Breast cancer affects one in eight women during their lives. Breast cancer kills more women in the United States than any cancer except lung cancer. No one knows why some women get breast cancer, but there a number of risk factors. Risks that you cannot change include+++++++etc. Other risks, which you can change, include being overweight, using hormone replacement therapy, taking birth control pills, drinking alcohol, not having children or having your first child after age 35 or having dense breasts+++++etc. If all you intend to include are symptoms, risk factors and treatment, then your task will be much easier than if you intended to include with the treatment, symptoms and risk factors, details of the tests, diagnosis and causes. If you are a health professional, you might gain some information on the format of lectures on this subject from your medical library, if you are not in the medical profession, help might be gained from the reference department in your local public library. I regret that it is almost impossible to advise you in this matter, mainly due to the lack of detail and the discussion that would be needed to ascertain all the facts in order to arrive at a specific answer. Hope this helps matador 89
What are some examples of "Correlation does not equal causation"?
There are several reasons why correlation doesn't imply causation. I will go into lurking variables and confounding variables, which are types of relationships which illustrate why causation cannot be implied. Confounding VariableExample: When ice cream sales increase, swimming pool deaths also seem to increase. Hence, eating ice cream leads to drownings in swimming pools.In this case, there is a factor that impacts both the cause and effect, a "confounding variable". Generally, during the summer months people buy more ice cream because it is hot outside. Independent of that, people go to the swimming pool a lot more often in the summer as another way to cool off -- which would inevitably lead to more pool drownings. However, this doesn't give you license to say that people are more likely to drown in pools after eating ice cream.Source: Designing and conducting health system research projects, volume 1, Proposal development and fieldworkLurking VariableExample: In educational reporting it is often stated that Asian students in the United States perform better on benchmark X than students of other races. Consequently, there are wild theories about why ethnicity implies educational performance (evolutional, structural differences in brain). However, these claims are made without acknowledging there are other "lurking" variables, such as education level of parents, socioeconomic status of the student, that contribute heavily to the benchmark score. An individual Hispanic or African-American student should have no trouble attaining high scores given similar background otherwise -- simply being Asian is not a determinant of score.Source: AP Statistics Causation and Lurking Variables
