We hear all kinds of things about what family looks like today. Here, we’re going to take a look at the facts about what we can call the postmodern family.
First, marriage is still important to Americans. The overwhelming majority of Americans wants to get married, and many of them do-sometimes repeatedly. At the same time, fewer people are married today, for a number of reasons.
The first thing we think about to explain the lower rate of marriage is the high proportion of divorced people. Yes, the divorce rate is high. A couple getting married in 2012 has a 43% chance of getting a divorce. However, we should also note that the divorce rate has been stable since the 1980s. It is high, but not rising. Another reason is that people wait longer than before to get married. Marriage is postponed until after college, and often the establishment of a career. Couples also choose to cohabitate rather than get married. Some of them cohabitate as a try-out period before marriage, but others do so permanently, as an alternative to marriage to avoid the trauma of divorce. Finally, the remarriage rate, although still significant, has declined, so that widowed or divorced people are more likely to remain single.
Women now have fewer children, partly because of the feminist movement that has made contraception more available and acceptable over the past decades, as well as legitimating their focusing on a career first. The high cost of raising children is another contributing factor. The decline in fertility is also due to people’s decisions to postpone parenthood, either because of the postponing of marriage, or because they want to be financially stable first. With cohabitation becoming more widespread and acceptable, more children are born out of wedlock today. Some single women, usually who are successful in their career, also make the choice of raising a child as a single mother.
Gay couples are more and more becoming part of society, and a large part of the agenda of gay rights movements focus on family rights: the right to marriage, the right for partners to receive benefits such as social security, and the right to adopt.
Finally, because our population is aging, more families have members who are elderly. On the positive side, this means that grandchildren are more likely than ever to know their grandparents. On the negative side, many middle-aged children now find themselves supporting college-aged children, and taking care of aging parents.
Do the trends discussed in the postmodern family above show a decline of the family?

Just feedback from the teacher on out last discussion questions: HEADS UP
What if you got it for free, and you needed transportation but did not have the money to get a vehicle? Is there a way you could paint it up and redecorate it so that no one would figure out what it was? Does everyone even know what this vehicle looks like and what it is used for? Are hearses universal across every nation in the world? Maybe in some places this is not how they transport the dead. Can you imagine a point in time where in the US, cremation becomes so common that hearses stop being made, and everyone forgets what they were even used for? Remember, as some of your peers have pointed out, deviance is socially constructed so it varies by place, time, audience, actor, etc. A question for you or anyone else: can you think of something that may be considered deviant right now in the US, but perhaps to our great grandchildren it will no longer be deviant? And how about vice versa– some things that were deviant in the past in the US that today we no longer consider deviant? Also, how about material objects that were deviant but now are so obsolete that most people would not know what they were even used for anymore, so they don’t bring up the same deviant context they once did?
Health policy is simply a health plan that has been written with specific strategies or objectives to accomplish the overall goal of the plan. Health policy (popular or unpopular) plays an important role in the delivery of healthcare services. Please review Chapter 1 in its entirety to understand the premise of health policy. To successfully complete this discussion an understanding to the role of policies in health care is imperative. In a minimum of 250 words discuss the following questions:
- What is the premise of healthcare policies? (consider the following: past/current policies that impact provider-insurer shift)
- Is healthcare access a “human right” or a “privilege”? Provide a rationale.
- Who are the major players in health policies?
- How does health policy impact society?
q2
Health policies must undergo policy processes of analysis prior to implementation. Pre-process, intra-process, and post-process all have major impacts on healthcare organizations and consumers. Based on the policy many people may face economical or social change, which could either be just/unjust. In a minimum of 250 words, discuss the following:
- Evaluate the ACA’s impact on healthcare quality and cost.
- How does the ACA impact society as a whole?
- Highlight the relevance of the Federal Medicaid Assistance Percentage (FMAP), as it relates to the ACA.

Significant Contributions to Public Health – Part II
This is a continuation of your final project, which you started in Week 3. This last piece involves an analysis of how your individual’s contribution from the past continues to contribute to today’s public health system and how it might guide future work within the industry. As you recall, in week 3, you researched an individual and their contribution to community and public health. To begin, you need to review the feedback given to you from Week 3. Then, make the necessary revisions to Part I of this project. Then, you will be adding the second half to your project.
Follow this outline to help formulate your paper or presentation:

GRADED ELEMENT : Describe your selected person’s experience
GRADED ELEMENT : Analyze the climate of the time period in terms of political, socioeconomic, environmental and technological context in which this person worked.
GRADED ELEMENT : Examine the personal beliefs of your person that prompted this work.
GRADED ELEMENT : Examine how this individual overcame any adversities to succeed in his/her task.

HELP: You are asking “what happened as a result of this contribution at the national and community level?” For example, some elements you could address include:
did it change attitudes
did it change protocols and policies
did behavior change result
did it add/eliminate laws
GRADED ELEMENT : Analyze how this contribution is still relevant today
HELP: Was this contribution only applicable at the time it occurred, or is it still applied today? Why or why not? Explain your response
GRADED ELEMENT : Examine how this contribution could support or be expanded for future community and public health benefits
HELP: Using solid critical thinking, look at the historical value of the contribution and examine how it could be used for the future (is it applicable to another health issue, can it lead to more policy change, could it promote advocacy work or public health laws, etc.)

Find an ad that depicts someone in a negative or distorted way and analyze it: How are gender norms represented and perpetuated in advertising and in your ad in particular?
Your argumentative essay will consist of the following paragraphs:
Intro Paragraph:
- Background info/history/context on how gender has been/is represented in advertising

Explain everything going on in your ad. I should be able to visualize it without having to look at the ad itself. Describe what it is advertising.
