1) A  description of the latest wave of mass immigration, which began in the  1960s. Discuss in detail the particular issues of stratification faced  by this latest wave of immigrants, integrating our course materials. Be  sure to include dates.  
2) A  comparison of the impact of the latest wave (approximately 1960s-now)  with the first wave (approximately 1820s-1920s) of immigrants in terms  of types of populations involved, causes for immigrating, and overall  impact on U.S. society, drawing from our course materials; be sure to  include dates/years. 
3)  Your own analysis of how you think the negative consequences of  stratification could be improved in society for one particular  disadvantaged group of your choosing. What are the specific actions that  could be taken and in what areas of social life would the steps create  positive change? In doing so, you must apply:
Two  social concepts (i.e. discrimination, racism, sexism, ethnocentrism,  etc.) from our materials and/or outside scholarly readings for this  group. You may find our Sociological Theories and Concepts Toolkit to be  helpful (found in Announcements). 
Two  social theories (i.e. conflict theory, interactionist theory, feminist  theory, critical race theory, etc.) from our materials and outside  scholarly readings (journal articles no more than five years old) for  this group. You may find our Sociological Theories and Concepts Toolkit  to be helpful (found in Announcements).
In  addition to our course materials (be sure to cite), you will  significantly incorporate research throughout from at least  three peer-reviewed academic journals (journal articles) no more than  five years old.

Review Week 1 Identifying a Potential Problem discussion forum posts.
Review A Closer Look: Week 1: Stating the Problem.
Review Technical Requirements for page length and source requirements.
Describe the problem you selected based on your responses to the 5W1H method in the Week 1 Identifying a Potential Problem discussion forum. Be sure to clearly identify each component of the 5W1H method in this section.

Many  potential employers and managers considering employees for promotion  will ask you to reflect back on your educational accomplishments.  Prepare a summary of the work you completed as a student in your BA/BS  program at APUS/AMU. Your Executive Summary should be a “teaser”  for the reader. Entice the reader to want to read more about you and  your experiences. A well developed, easy to read and interesting  portfolio is just one more way to separate yourself from your  job-seeking competitors. In this section of your portfolio, tell the  reader how you have organized your portfolio and how they can navigate  the various sections. In the introduction, explain why you chose the  program and concentration. Include a brief description of your courses,  the program objectives that you achieved, as well as an overview of the  important concepts learned in class. Conclude with your assessment of  how the overall program met your professional and personal goals and how  your degree will enhance your career path.

Prior to beginning work on this discussion forum,
Read Chapter 2: Developing a Lens of Understanding of the coursebook One Step at a Time: A Roadmap for Problem Solving & Making a Difference.
Review A Closer Look: Week 2: Lenses of Understanding.
This discussion forum will encourage you to examine your selected problem using a cultural lens. Consider how local customs, beliefs, religions, norms, attitudes, values, economy, political views, geography, collective experiences, etc., can explain or may have contributed to the problem.
In your discussion post,
Restate the problem statement from your Week 1 Writing the Problem Statement assignment.
Evaluate the problem using a cultural (subjective) lens.
Include two pieces of evidence to support your position (e.g., demographic data, local history, etc.). Information or content from the library or textbook is not necessarily current or directly related to the problem you are investigating.
Your initial post should be a minimum of 150 words and is due on Day 3 (Thursday).

you will choose one (1) social  problem related to health, healthcare, and/or aging: physical or mental  health disparities of race, class, or gender; inequities in access to  quality healthcare or insurance; or ageism (discrimination against the  elderly) or elder abuse.  
Think about which theoretical perspective best applies to the problem  (functionalism, conflict, symbolic interaction, or feminist theory). 
Consider the different research methods that are used to investigate  social problems (quantitative – survey, experiment, existing data or  qualitative – interviews, observations, focus groups, and archival  research) and determine which would be best for researching your topic.  
Assignment Instructions:  
Pretend you are applying for a grant to fund your research. Write a  letter with an overview of your research proposal. Include the following  components: 
Follow letter writing format, with the date at the top and Dear  Grant-Funding Institution or To Whom It May Concern. Write in paragraph  form, left-aligned with no indentations and a space between paragraphs  with single or 1.5-spacing and 12-point readable font. 
Discuss the problem you are researching and why it is important,  including how prevalent or widespread it is (using recent stats within  five years). 
Explain your theoretical approach. (In other words, apply one of the sociological perspectives to the problem.) 
Describe which research method you will use and the rationale for  the choice (i.e., why it is applicable). Also, describe two (2) other  research methods and why you chose not to use them. Evaluate the  strengths and limitations of the three research methods. 
Explain how you plan to utilize the research method. For example, if  you chose survey research, who would you survey and what would you ask?
Discuss any ethical issues in researching the problem. How would you  avoid harming your research participants physically and/or  psychologically? If using existing data, how would you determine whether  the data was collected in an ethical manner?
Conclude by thanking the institution for their consideration and close with a farewell greeting and your name.

Scenario:  You were recently hired as a medical coder at a large hospital. F.B.  (name changed to protect patient confidentiality), a 75-year old woman,  sees her doctor because she has had chest pain, difficulty breathing, a  cough, and a fever. Her doctor hears crackling sounds in her chest when  she breathes and an x-ray reveals that her lungs are filled with fluid.  The doctor says that L.H. has pneumonia and prescribes antibiotics.  After 5 days her chest feels better, her fever subsides, and she can  breathe easier. Your new boss asked you to prepare a presentation to  detail the pathophysiology of her disorder, as pathophysiology is  critical to coding.
 
List the diagnosis.
Explain the etiology.
Summarize the signs and symptoms of the disorder.
Identify which lab tests, etc. the doctor can use to ensure the correct diagnosis.
Discuss methods for treating the disorder.
List behaviors that help prevent or decrease the likelihood of the disorder.
Describe the risk factors associated with the disorder.
Make  sure you write in a clear, concise, and organized manner; demonstrate  ethical scholarship in accurate representation and attribution of  sources; display accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation.
