Transcript: Not just women. Not just men. Everyone. Examples: "health, politics, and society can intermingle to either strengthen women or fail them". Some articles addressed the physical aspect and how physical effects not only have an impact on today's women, but on future generation. Hypothesis “Justice for All? Factors Affecting Perceptions of Environmental and Ecological Injustice, "Impact Of Air Pollution On Women's Health.” From "Confronting WHITENESS FLINT WATER CRISIS.” by Crecory Shafer: From Huang, Chih-Tung1, "Shaping Environmental Justice: Applying Science, Technology And Society Boundary Work." Other Studies that focused on similar environmental characteristics: “I suggest that the Environmental Justice movement is still dependent on scientists to provide a scientific way to foster equal distribution of environmental risks. However, to achieve a just distribution, science along is not enough. Public participation in the field of both EJ science and the political movement is necessary.” However, these are not the only environments that prove to be toxic for women. Bryant, Kathy.

My desk study focuses on women's health as it relates to the environment. Based on my research, the blanket statement solution would be policy change. What I have found throughout my research is that the hypothesis proved to be true, and women's health and the environment have a very definite and clear link. This includes physical as well as mental effects and social characteristics that can enhance them. Why are these solutions important? Solutions such as policy change also benefit greatly from social media encouragement and private funding. Another route that always promotes change is discussion, which all of these studies include. Reaching unengaged stakeholders is a key component of bringing about change. “The discussion is not meant to reflect an essentialist position, rather it is emphasized that there are shared historical, social and political connections of women as a social group in Western societies.” By changing policy, we can regulate how these toxins are reaching people. Through policy change, events like Flint, Michigan water crisis can be avoided. Women, man, and children in low-income areas will be less likely to encounter toxins.

In my study, when I say women's health as it relates tot he environment, I mean both the physical and societal environments around women. Study Designs Used: Why are these solutions important?

UK Desk Presentation

Transcript: Political Economics of the UK 101. The Roots of the Union 1707 marked the merge of the England and Scotland economies. The Union of 1707 was due to cultural, political, and most importantly economical. The Union allowed free trade throughout the kingdom. (Appealing to Scotland who was losing a lot of capital at the time.) The benefits of the union went unnoticed for 50 years for Scotland. However, once it was established trades in linen and tobacco skyrocketed. Linen made up 75% of the textile exports from Scotland (Went primarily to England). 1750-1850: The Industrial Revolution The Industrial Revolution changed the economical structure forver. Barter was no longer necessary, and production was no longer for the localities. The fall of Feudalism and the old agricultural system, and new technologies allowed surplus which extended overall growth Landlords were no longer the center of power. The political and economic power shifted towards the leaders of industry Guilds no longer have influence, free trade thrives. Mercantilism allowed policies to be directed towards economic benefit for the state. (Domestic and Foreign) American colonies and other colonies offered raw materials. (The British Empire at its peek had about 25% of the world population under it, and 25% if the global trade) Wages were low, therefore entire families were working, producing a large work force. Technology booms allowing better transportation and overall production to increase. (Ex: Steam engines, iron industry, canals, cotton, factories, rail road) The World Wars and their Economic Backlash Preceding World War I was high inflation and an overall lack of economic confidence. Capital could no longer be backed by gold, in fact Britain banned the export of gold from the country. Central European banks began to raise interests, and other European nations could no longer pay the debt of the war. The growing middle class wants the elite war profiteers to pay more wartime taxes to decrease the need for inflation. Social elite call for a decrease in their taxes, it becomes a class struggle. The unemployment rate skyrockets after the war (1%-12%) and so the Great depression begins. This marked one of the major turning points in the global economy. It symbolized the importance of the macroeconomy. The Great Depression called for innovative and fresh minds. To help cushion the damage of the first war the welfare state was initiated, Parliament strived to reduce the gap between the rich and the poor. In concurrence the government imposed policies that caused national debt (Keynesian Economics). Economic policies shifted more power to government, and leveled off incomes globally. A more government directed economy was used during World War II. The wealth of the social elite dispersed and Western Europe saw a economic boom. World War II essentially gave modern day UK a ticket away from economic depression. This shift in economic power is one of the reasons for the rise of the Labour party. 1960's European States decolonized. 1970's to the present There was significant inflation throughout the West which called for new methods, once again. To escape the inflation and prevent depression the conservative party gained power. This leads on to Thatcherism (Iron Lady). During the 80's although there was economic depression the welfare state is minimalized. The gap between the rich and poor increases. Political Economy The economic policies of the United Kingdom have been fairly inconsistent. Like many states there are constant waves of political change. It is a Liberal Market Economy. The primary role of the state is to promote market and provide a standard of ethics. Although the culture is fairly pro-capitalism there is a constant struggle for equality amongst the economic classes. The UK's lack of consistency leads to non-productive reform and conflicting labor relations(Collectivism to Thatcherism). The European Union The United Kingdom is part of the EU. Economic crisis can potentially be astronomical, especially given globalization and the inerdependence of states economically. Several economically unstable states are causing the UK to suffer economically. The UK's biggest industries are banking and insurance. The potential crash of the Euro may (will) have tremendous affects on the UK economy.(Yay for the Pound!). Why the EU Crisis Matters? The EU is currently the largest economy in the world. Some of the largest banks in the world reside within the EU (BNP, Barclays, The Royal Bank of Scotland). In addition their global trade with countries such as China and the US is too large to not affect the global economy. The current crisis is similar to the credit crisis of the US. The collapse of the Euro would lead to a broken financial system. A broken financial system = broken banking = broken UK(Lehman Round 2). The UK is amongst the largest states in the EU economically. Organization of the State Monarch is nominal head of state Elected officials,

Transcript: Gany, Francesca M., et al. “Attitudes, Knowledge, and Health-Seeking Behaviors of Five Immigrant Minority Communities in the Prevention and Screening of Cancer: A Focus Group Approach.” Ethnicity & Health, vol. 11, no. 1, 2006, pp. 19–39., doi:10.1080/13557850500391394. Desk Study Hypothesis Chelsea Grosbeck Dr. Zoe Fine WST 3324 Desk Study Presentation Environmental Toxins April 7, 2019 Adequate resources such as educational exposure and awareness to eliminate social stigmas. The biggest solution was education brought to immigrant minority populations on awareness of cancer testing. As the other half to the solution, this can partially be solved with preventative and aggressive testing and healing procedures to limit minority populations, that have marginally affected women, to decrease number of deaths to early caught degenerative signs of cancer. Summary If health and safety issues related to cancer-causing toxins that negatively influence the environment, then immigrant minority populations become the disenfranchised recipients in affected communities. This article addresses the disparities that minority communities face for an increase in cancer incidence and mortality rates (Gany 20). Desk Study Presentation This paper contributes to the specific cultural attitudes and beliefs about cancer among immigrant minorities. This investigation explores various barriers to cancer care among ethnic minority immigrant populations in New York City, and proposes culturally and linguistically appropriate interventions at the community level (Gany 23). Not only is this the biggest proponent to preventative exposure, the limitations can be solvable with the right materials provided. Factors that are mentioned in this article have an affecting impact based on the socioeconomic and sociocultural of the minority group. Higher mortality rates have been recorded due to a deficit in cancer education and awareness, resources like screening services, institutional barriers based on socioeconomic status, and cultural beliefs (Gany 20). Through the use of focus groups, these solutions have been recorded to be effective measures of preventative solutions. Solutions Study Designs Works Cited
