Discussion: Unit 6, Due Wednesday by 11:59 pm CT

Social Injustice

INSTRUCTIONS:

Please complete the following steps for your discussion post.

After you have completed the Unit 6 material and have considered the many different roles and effects of popular culture, consider the following questions:

• What has been pop culture’s role in promoting social justice? Give specific examples.
• Share one unique example (that has not been mentioned in the unit or by classmates) or how pop culture has promoted social justice, awareness of an issue, or has had a role in influencing public opinion to promote equality, justice, acceptance or tolerance.
• In your opinion, do people with a large pop culture following have an ethical responsibility to promote positive messages in their work?

Please be sure to validate your opinions and ideas with citations and references in APA format.

You are only doing Discussion A and Group A Response.

Complete the discussion in Group A or B as assigned by the instructor and then respond to the alternate group. All students are required to review all posts for general knowledge. Keep in mind that you will earn points for your initial discussion posts, as well as your responses.

DISCUSSION A

Robert and Jenna Smith’s 2nd child has Down Syndrome. Philip is 14 years old. He has a sibling that is older and one younger. 15 year old sister, Lucy and a little brother Danny who is 10 years old. As all 14 year olds he is becoming more interested in his sexuality and expressing that with curiosity. He has been known to have some overt aggression toward his sister and some classmates in his public school. Discuss how you could help this family cope and guide Philip to learn appropriate behavior.

Group B Response Will this behavior interfere with his interest in being in the local Boy Scout troop? His troop leader is his father.

Guided Response: Respond to two peers. Each peer response should be at least 100 words in length and supported by one scholarly source. In each reply, choose one of the integumentary functions discussed by your peer and explain how this function aids in the prevention or healing of a specific skin condition. Please choose a different function and skin condition for each peer reply.

Remember, you need to discuss and explain your responses. A list is not enough

Mine-Function of the Integumentary System

The skin is considered the largest organ of the body (Young etal., 2014). It is the external surface of the body and thus protects from several external threats, such as mechanical, water, biological, and chemical insults (Young etal., 2014). Skin is significant in thermoregulation as it can adjust the blood circulation and the process of heat conservation and heat loss (Young etal., 2014). Lastly, as the largest sensory organ, it contains several receptors specific for pressure, touch, temperature, and pain sensations(Young etal., 2014).

Location, composition, and special features of the three layers of skin

The skin is composed of three main layers, namely, epidermis, dermis, and subcutis, also known as hypodermis or panniculus (Young et al., 2014). The epidermis is the outermost layer of the skin, made up of continuous proliferating stratified squamous epithelium, melanocytes, and Langerhans cells (Young et al., 2014). Devoid of blood vessels and nerve cells; it provides a non-living surface layer of the protein “keratin” that is being shed constantly (Young et al., 2014). Additionally, it provides supplemental resistance to frictional shearing force through rete ridges (Young et al., 2014). The next layer is the dermis, which is composed of fibrous and fibro adipose tissue that supports the epidermis’ physical and metabolical processes (Young et al., 2014). This layer is packed with blood vessels, nerves, lymph vessels, sweat glands, oil glands, and sensory receptors (Young et al., 2014). This layer provides protection from elastic forces. Last but not least, hypodermis, which is beneath the dermis, is composed of adipose tissue with accompanying fibrous bands and contains larger blood vessels that are important for the supply and drainage of dermal blood vasculature. Hypodermis serves as a shock absorber and facilitates heat preservation (Young et al., 2014).
