I’m studying for my Social Science class and need an explanation.

Health management:

Develop an email following Business Email Format

addressed to your faculty discussing:

The steps of the strategic planning process with regard to organizing a health fair in rural 15,000 residents West Virginia as a community outreach for a non-for-profit general hospital in the area. Use average demographic distribution in WV (list the source you used); provide workforce component justification; list funding sources; provide epidemiological measures that will define the list of services offered at the fair; offer promotional mix base outline and timeframe; provide any other necessary components to address all steps of the strategic planning for this event.

This email should not be longer that one page long. Use the space effectively. You can develop visual aids, diagrams, tables etc. Cite resources in APA format when appropriate.

Disability

Cultural Context of Disability and Stigma

Cultural context looks at individuals in society and how they are raised and how their culture affects their behavior. It incorporates learned values and shared attitudes among groups of people. It includes language, norms, customs, ideas, beliefs, and meanings and individual characteristics. Therefore, when the cultural context of a person or group is not understood, Stigma may occur. Culture is very important because our cultural orientation is present in every interaction, and it is how society identifies us as an individual or group. We tend to make assumptions about a person’s beliefs or behaviors based on a single cultural indicator, particularly related to race or ethnicity, when our cultural identities are a complex weave of all the cultural groups around us or that we belong to that influence our values, beliefs, and behaviors.

Recent knowledge emerging out of the disability rights movements and grounded in disability studies research promotes a new understanding of disability as a socially constructed culture and as a social identity. Many people support the emerging issue of “disability culture” or “the culture of disability” and many more dispute disability as being a cohesive force to form a cultural group. As we challenge these assumptions and traditional views of disability, our beliefs can become more meaningful and relevant to the disability community and more informative to social development.
