Question.895 - Week 10-Discussion 1 Discuss changes that could be made to the structure of our society that would improve health for everyone by addressing the following. How are common illnesses the product of social factors, in addition to medical factors? What factors contribute to the disparities in health among ethnic, socioeconomic, and gender groups in the United States? Finally, consider whether the United States should move toward a national health insurance model found in other Western nations? Many critics of medicalization claim that medicalizing women’s health issues is a form institutional sexism. As described in our text, medicalization is the process where previously normal aspects of life are redefined as deviant and needing medical attention to remedy. Discuss the medicalization of women’s health issues and address whether medicalizing issues like menstruation, pre-menstrual syndrome, pregnancy, childbirth, and menopause amounts to institutional sexism.
