What are some examples of social issues in America?
There are a few that came to my mind. In no particular order.Racism.Religious intolerance.Discrimination against culture, age, sex, religion, race.Standard of living between the poor & rich, healthcare.Psychology. Deviance, abuse, manipulation, superiority complex attitudes, domineering personalities like dictatorships.Social morality conflicts (abortion, atheists, drugs, suicide, prostitution).Personal Individual Liberty disputes - between government control vs. individual freedoms.Freedom of speech & hate speech.Illegal Immigration.Education. Ignorance, intelligence & knowledge, common sense, rational thought.All of these are catalysts for aggression and potential conflicts that may lead to personal individual harm.
What are social issues, and what are some examples?
There are multiple dimensions of social issues. A few examples are systemic racism, health and wage disparities among racial, ethnic, and gender minorities, and social power hierarchies. You probably experience them in everyday day encounters without even knowing it. Social expectations for women to be feminin or for men to be masculine, socialization of gender which perpetuates inequity is a good example. Wage gaps that discriminate against women in the workforce and pay them less because of the assumption that women will be taking more time off to care for her family is another example. Racial educational disparities are another. Schools in poorer neighborhoods (often neighborhoods predominantly comprised of racial minorities) typically have poorer quality of education which limits opportunities for upward mobility through limiting opportunities for attending college. Additionally, it creates a “school to prison pipeline” (I cannot recall the author of this, but I'll look it up and edit this to include the author’s name). Schools in impoverished neighborhoods are also typically populated with “high risk” students, and any act of aggression or violence violates many schools’ zero-tolerance policies on violence. When those are violated, schools will suspend or expel students, which leaves them out of the learning environment. Many parents in impoverished neighborhoods work, which leaves students unsupervised out of school, and an abundance of time on their hands to get into trouble. When the student does return to school, their reputation as “dangerous” causes them to be watched more closely by school staff, (again, I will look for the reference on this concept) so even minor infractions are escalated to additional suspensions, which again leads to even more time unsupervised, and less time learning. It's a pretty vicious cycle. I hope that helps.
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.
What are the ethical and social issues regarding organ transplantation?
Clinical organ transplantation has been recognized as one of the most gripping medical advances of the century as it provides a way of giving the gift of life to patients with terminal failure of vital organs, which requires the participation of other fellow human beings and of society by donating organs from deceased or living individuals. The increasing incidence of vital organ failure and the inadequate supply of organs, especially from cadavers, has created a wide gap between organ supply and organ demand, which has resulted in very long waiting times to receive an organ as well as an increasing number of deaths while waiting. These events have raised many ethical, moral and societal issues regarding supply, the methods of organ allocation, the use of living donors as volunteers including minors. It has also led to the practice of organ sale by entrepreneurs for financial gains in some parts the world through exploitation of the poor, for the benefit of the wealthy.
What are examples of big social problems?
Poverty, addiction, racism, abuse, corruption, mental health issues, cancer, diabetes and other health care issues, education not just access but quality, destruction of the environment, and crazy people with access to guns — and even crazier ones with access to nuclear weapons; but thats just to name a few. If we could solve just one of them the world as a whole would be much better off.
Isn't it unethical to post photos/selfies posing with a cadaver on social media?
I believe that it is unethical.The cadaver of today was a living and breathing human in the past. Anatomy along with other pre-clinical subjects is like the ABC of medical science.In such a situation, a cadaver really simplifies the learning process. We can observe human anatomy as nature created it, in a 3-Dimensional model, but practically feeling the tissues is a wonderful experience. All doctors-physicians or surgeons, get their basic knowledge only from the cadaver, assisted by teachers who explain.It is natural to be excited about earning admission to the MBBS course, and this excitement leads to posting images, such as selfies in the white coat, photographs of the hospital building, the labs, and every aspect of life.However, we must remember that many of the people in the audience might not be accustomed to seeing pictures of dissected and naked human bodies. The pictures may be shared on groups for academic purpose- but they shouldn't be photos clicked randomly, but with a learning objective.There are many medical accounts on Instagram— and they upload interesting pictures of pathology and surgery. But the pictures are always blurred, with a disclaimer. Only on clicking them, can we see the picture in its entirety.Though seeing morbid conditions is a part of our life, it doesn't mean that we should force others on social media to see them- they might not have any academic relevance for them. Worse, they might unfriend you for spoiling their newsfeed with photos that make them cringe.Respecting the patients starts with respecting the cadavers and subjects.TL,DR: Don't post selfies with the cadaver. Utilize the facility to learn anatomy, and post selfies posing with your friends.Edit:I don't know whether it's illegal or not. But it's immoral, definitely.What I mean when I write ‘interesting pictures’ in my answer, is ‘learning aid for anatomy'. DO NOT CLICK PICTURES OF THE CADAVER, especially with the entire body or face visible, considering it as ‘MEMORY’ OR ‘HORROR'. Respect life. Respect death. And respect the dead.
Can a cadaver dog hit on other scents other then a dead body?
Sounds like someone is doing homework. A cadaver dog is trained to find dead humans and depending on its training, it is most likely the only thing it will detect since there are very particular rules of evidence that may come into play in court. As far as what decomposition means, I am afraid you will have to look that up since explaining it here may take some time. Hope I helped. ADD: Excellent questions you are asking...here is the answer from someone who trains and works detection dogs daily. The dog in question was supposed to be a federally trained dog. MOST of these dogs are food rewarded which means they ONLY eat when they are training or actually making a find. This makes it easier to have a dog "lie" in order to get fed and the majority of these dogs have zero drive to search as they lack hunt drive. Now, ALL detection dogs are supposed to get extinction training, meaning they need to NOT look for substances that may be involved with the target odor they need to find, however, that is not the case with 90% of these dogs and as such, they may indeed be alerting on substances they are not supposed to. Keep in mind that I have never seen this dog or its handler, I have never seen it work nor do I know about its training, this is just what I have seen in 32 years of training dogs and having worked with many a police or a federal dog. This can get long and complicated and touch more esoteric training issues that I have no intention of getting into here because this is an open worldwide forum and I have no idea who is looking. Hope I helped some more.
