Learning Module II: INEQUALITY AND HEALTH

As we explore social inequality and health, I would like you to select and read one of the articles below and discuss your thoughts and opinions. These are serious topics that do not affect select communities but instead everyone, regardless of socio-economic status, race, geographic location, etc.

Provide in your reflection (minimum of 600 words) why and how these topics/issues are socially inequitable and what your recommendations would be to address these inequities.

*Please note in order to get full credit for this assignment, you must meet and exceed the required word minimum.

Please read what others post and provide feedback since this is a discussion.
