The War on  Vaccines  .   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v＝VPOrnU3ImxI    Vaccines have changed the world, largely eradicating a series of  terrible diseases, from smallpox to polio to diphtheria, and likely  adding decades to most of our life spans. But despite the gains — and  numerous scientific studies indicating vaccine safety — a growing  movement of parents remains fearful of vaccines. And in some American  communities, significant numbers of parents have been rejecting vaccines  altogether, raising new concerns about the return of  vaccine-preventable diseases like measles and whooping cough. In The  Vaccine War (originally broadcast on PBS in April 2010) FRONTLINE lays  bare the science of vaccine safety and examines the increasingly bitter  debate between the public health establishment and a formidable populist  coalition of parents, celebrities, politicians and activists who are  armed with the latest social media tools — including Facebook, YouTube  and Twitter — and are determined to resist pressure from the medical  and public health establishments to vaccinate, despite established  scientific consensus about vaccine safety.     Your assignment is to watch the video linked above. Type a 1 page (size  12 ft, single spaced) summary of the video..

Introduction

Inequality is a central concept in sociology. Every society has a stratification system—an arrangement of society into groups that are unequal with regard to things valued in that society. In the United States, for example, we stratify people based on social class (or how much income and wealth they have). Our location within the stratification system impacts much of our lives. How would your life be different if you came from a family with billions of dollars? Would you have gone to the same school? Played with the same toys? Gone on the same vacations?

While inequality exists in every society, it tends to be different as to how it is structured according to time period or location. In earlier times, inequality was based on who owned the land. Today, it is shaped by a variety of factors including income, wealth, gender, race/ethnicity, age, and ability status. For example, women and some racial/ethnic groups make less for the same work as males. Despite this, we have a tendency in the United States to believe that neither social class nor class conflict exist. Unfortunately, research and data suggest otherwise. We still have a division of people based on their income and wealth, with some at the top and others at the bottom. While we belong to a wealthy, industrially developed country, poverty still exists.

Sociologists examine these issues of poverty and inequality in a society and try to better understand why structures of inequality exist in society. Do you think inequality is always going to exist? Focus on this as you delve into the resources and prepare for the assessment.

Demonstration of Proficiency

By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:

• Competency 3: Explain the significance of social inequality for the individual and society.
  • Explain whether or not economic inequality is inevitable.
  • Propose strategies to reduce inequality.

  • Examine potential changes to increase equality of opportunity.
  • Analyze factors that contribute to the growth of economic inequality.
• Competency 6: Compose text that articulates meaning relevant to its purpose and audience.
  • Develop text using organization, structure, and transitions that demonstrate understanding of cohesion between main and subtopics.

American culture emphasizes self-sufficiency and working hard to get where you want. It is assumed that everyone has the ability to succeed if they work hard enough. For this assessment, write a paper applying key concepts regarding social stratification to argue for or against the inevitability of economic inequality. While there are many forms of inequality in the United States, for this assessment we will be focusing solely on economic inequality.
