Science
The intellectual and practical activity
encompassing the systematic study of the
structure and behavior of the physical and
natural world through observation and
experiment.
Technology
The application of scientific knowledge for
practical purposes, especially in industry;
Machinery and equipment developed from the
application of scientific knowledge;
The branch or knowledge dealing with
engineering or applied science
Popular Culture is increasingly supplanting
science as the major purveyor of cultural
imagery, values, and interpretations of social
and physical phenomena.
It's not magic, it’s Science!
Science is the process and the body of knowledge that enables us humans
to know nature. So far, it’s the best idea we’ve ever had.

The pop idol turned science idol, Professor Brian Edward Cox is a British physicist and professor of particle physics at the
University of Manchester. He is best recognized as the presenter of science programs for the British Broadcasting
Corporation (BBC).
After presenting six programmes about physics, Prof Cox and his TV mentor, BBC head of science Andrew Cohen, felt he
was ready to make a blockbuster series of his own. Wonders of the Solar System established his mass appeal in 2010.
Today, after the airing of Wonders of the Universe, Wonders of Life and Human Universe, and countless appearances on
other programmes he is the undisputed heir apparent to David Attenborough as Britain’s premier presenter of science.
Science is too important not to be a part of popular culture.

Heritage Building in North-
eastern Pennsylvania
By Paul A. Shackel and V. Camille
Westmont
University of Maryland
Introduction
Since 2009, the Anthracite Heritage Pro-
ject has focused on social issues in
Northeastern Pennsylvania (NEPA).
NEPA is a resource rich, economically
poor area located in the northernmost
reaches of the Appalachian Region.
While anthracite coal was discovered in
this region in the late eighteenth century,
large scale extraction of this carbon fos-
sil fuel did not occur until the middle of
the nineteenth century with the develop-
ment of railroads and canal systems. It is
the fuel that helped propel American
industry to become an international
leader in manufacturing. Our goal in this
project is to study the rise and fall of the
anthracite coal industry, and to address
inequities in the community, past and
present, related to work, labor, gender,
race, and immigration.
The NEPA communities, including
the city of Hazleton, the focus of our
study, developed in the mid-nineteenth
century with a massive influx of newly
arrived foreign immigrants who were
necessary for the extraction of coal. This
migration also created a ready workforce
with more available workers than jobs.
Surplus labor allowed the coal operators
to keep wages relatively low with the
threat that there were always willin.
This document summarizes Neil deGrasse Tyson's 2012 speech "Space as Culture" given at the 28th National Space Symposium. In the speech, Tyson argues that space exploration was once a major driver of culture and the economy but has since declined. He seeks to inspire renewed interest and investment in space. The document provides historical context on the space race and early economic benefits. It also discusses how Tyson has become a prominent science communicator through appearances on shows like Cosmos, making him a good speaker to advocate for space exploration.

“The 1960s: A Decade of Promise and Heartbreak”
By Kenneth T. Walsh
March 9, 2010
US News
It was a decade of extremes, of
transformational
change and
bizarre
contrasts: flower children and
assassins
,
idealism
and
alienation
, rebellion and
backlash
. For many in the
massive
post-World War II baby boom generation, it was both the best of times and the worst of times. (7 words)
There will be many 50-year anniversaries to mark significant events of the 1960s, and a big reason is that what happened in that remarkable era still
resonates
today. At the dawn of that decade of contrasts a half century ago—on Jan. 2 ,1960—a
charismatic
young senator from Massachusetts named John F. Kennedy announced that he was running for president, and he won the nation's highest office the following November. He remains one of the
iconic
figures in U.S. history. On February 1, four determined black men sat at a whites-only lunch counter at a Woolworth's in Greensboro, N.C., and were denied service. Their act of
defiance
triggered a wave of sit-ins for civil rights across the South and brought
unrelenting
national attention to America's original sin of racism. On March 3, Elvis Presley returned to the United States from his Army stint in Germany, resuming his career as a pioneer of rock-and-roll and an icon of the youth culture celebrating freedom and a growing sense of rebellion.(5 words)
By the end of the decade, Kennedy had been
assassinated
, along with his brother Robert and the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. America's cities had become powder kegs as African-Americans, despite historic gains toward legal equality, became more impatient than ever at being second-class citizens. Women began demanding their rights in
unprecedented
numbers. Young people and their parents felt a widening generation gap as seen in their differing perceptions of
patriotism
, drug use, sexuality, and the work ethic. The now familiar culture wars between liberals and conservatives caused angry divisions over law and order, busing, racial preferences, abortion, the Vie.

The photographs discussed in the TED Talk and shown in the article had significant social impacts and helped shape public opinion on important issues. The "tank man" photo from Tiananmen Square exposed the world to China's human rights abuses. The "Migrant Mother" photo from the Great Depression brought attention to the struggles of farmers. And the photo of the dead Syrian boy on a beach heightened awareness of the refugee crisis. These photos had far reaching influence by spreading mass awareness through media and shifting perspectives on crucial social issues.

Introductory material for a university course in media history by Prof. Bill Kovarik, based on the book Revolutions in Communication: Media History from Gutenberg to the Digital Age (Bloomsbury, 2nd ed., 2015).
The document discusses the history and development of American Studies as an academic field. It describes how American Studies originated in the 1930s focusing on literature and history, then evolved to become more interdisciplinary. A major early approach was the "myth and symbol" school which analyzed recurring myths and symbols in American literature to understand American culture. While influential, this approach faced criticism for being too generalized and homogenizing. In the 1960s, American Studies embraced new perspectives like social sciences, Marxism, and identity-based approaches as the field diversified and became more responsive to social changes and issues of gender, race, and multiculturalism. American Studies now takes many approaches to understand American culture from various perspectives.

WRTG 394 students,
Your next writing assignment will be a
memo to your instructor for the final report.
Steps to Take in Completing this Assignment:
•
Identify the decision-maker or group of decision-makers to whom you will write your final report
• Describe the specific problem you are attempting to address.
• Prepare some primary research for your report.
• Write a memo to your instructor using the template provided below.
The Role of this Assignment for your Research Report:
This assignment is designed to help you put together the final paper in WRTG 394.
Remember, your final paper in WRTG 394 will be a report in which you do the following:
•
define a problem in your workplace or community persuasively and accurately
•
propose a solution or solutions to the problem or issue
Previous assignments in the class pointed out some sample topics for the report:
• a report to your manager at work suggesting that more teleworking options be given to employees at your workplace
• a report to your supervisor at work suggesting that email be used less frequently for communication and that another application be used to improve communication.
• a report to your manager at work suggesting that your office become paperless
• a report to the board of directors at your townhouse community to argue that the playground area in your community should be renovated
• a report to the manager of your unit at work noting that recycling facilities in the workplace should be improved
For writing assignment #2, you completed a background and synthesis of the literature on your topic.
For this writing assignment, you are going to identify the specific needs in your workplace or community that will be identified for your final report.
Examples of Primary Research for Specific Topics:
•
If you write a report to your manager at work suggesting that more teleworking options be given to employees at your workplace, you cannot simply prepare a report on teleworking. You must show that teleworking will
solve a specific problem or problems in your organization
.
•
If you write a a report to your supervisor at work suggesting that email be used less frequently for communication and that another application be used to improve communication, you cannot simply prepare a report on the benefits of social media in the workplace. You must
show that your specific office has problems in communicating by email and indicate the benefits of using alternative communication systems for your workplace environment
.
•
If you write a report to your manager at work suggesting that your office become paperless, you cannot simply prepare a report on the benefits of a paperless office. You must
show that your specific office can go paperless and indicate the benefits of your specific office going paperless

Follow the directions below for the completion of the Annotated Bibliography assignment for Unit II.
Purpose: The purpose of the annotated bibliography is to summarize the sources that you have gathered to support your research proposal project. These summaries help you to think about the complex arguments presented in your sources. Description: In this assignment, you will create an annotated bibliography consisting of seven sources. Each entry will consist of a reference list citation, a summary of the source’s information, and a one-sentence assessment. Each annotation should be between 150 to 200 words. If an entry is shorter than 150 words, it is likely you have not fully developed your summary, and this lack of development can severely impact your grade for this assignment.

memo to your instructor for the final report.
Steps to Take in Completing this Assignment:
•
Identify the decision-maker or group of decision-makers to whom you will write your final report
• Describe the specific problem you are attempting to address.
• Prepare some primary research for your report.
• Write a memo to your instructor using the template provided below.
The Role of this Assignment for your Research Report:
This assignment is designed to help you put together the final paper in WRTG 394.
Remember, your final paper in WRTG 394 will be a report in which you do the following:
•
define a problem in your workplace or community persuasively and accurately
•
propose a solution or solutions to the problem or issue
Previous assignments in the class pointed out some sample topics for the report:
• a report to your manager at work suggesting that more teleworking options be given to employees at your workplace
• a report to your supervisor at work suggesting that email be used less frequently for communication and that another application be used to improve communication.
• a report to your manager at work suggesting that your office become paperless
• a report to the board of directors at your townhouse community to argue that the playground area in your community should be renovated
• a report to the manager of your unit at work noting that recycling facilities in the workplace should be improved
For writing assignment #2, you completed a background and synthesis of the literature on your topic.
For this writing assignment, you are going to identify the specific needs in your workplace or community that will be identified for your final report.
Examples of Primary Research for Specific Topics:
•
If you write a report to your manager at work suggesting that more teleworking options be given to employees at your workplace, you cannot simply prepare a report on teleworking. You must show that teleworking will
solve a specific problem or problems in your organization
.
•
If you write a a report to your supervisor at work suggesting that email be used less frequently for communication and that another application be used to improve communication, you cannot simply prepare a report on the benefits of social media in the workplace. You must
show that your specific office has problems in communicating by email and indicate the benefits of using alternative communication systems for your workplace environment
.
•
If you write a report to your manager at work suggesting that your office become paperless, you cannot simply prepare a report on the benefits of a paperless office. You must

My hypothesis Being disconnected from social media (texting, Facebo.docxJinElias52
My hypothesis: Being disconnected from social media (texting, Facebook, cell phone use, etc) causes stress in teenagers.
It is my belief partly based on observation (I teach HS students) that we have created a society where even the slightest communication is cause for a teenager’s engagement with his/her electronic device. Being constantly connected to others, or at least knowing that is an option appears to give them some peace of mind and perhaps helps them feel less alone. This worries me because I fear they will be unable to engage in experiences on their own without that constant connection to others. This behavior doesn’t allow for self-reflection, meditation, or other important moments designed to focus the attention inward. In other words, a fear of being alone. On the other hand, teenagers can reach out to others as never before, which is great in many cases.
I would choose the Experimental Research method for the following experiment, being careful to adhere to its two components: 1) that there is a random assignment of participants. I would stress that this should be a double-blind experiment so I do not influence its outcome; and 2) a manipulation of an independent variable.
My experiment: After taking a base level of stress indicators (heart rate, blood pressure, brain waves, perspiration levels, etc) I would randomly assign two separate groups of HS students to spend 2 days camping in the wilderness. I would set up several exciting events to take place such as river rafting, hunting, building a shelter for the night, etc. One group would have their cell phones with them (assuming there is a cell phone connection in this remote area), the second group would not. The first group could contact whomever they chose during the events and during a down time say, at night. The second group would not have cell phones to be able to do this. I would somehow monitor both group’s stress levels while out in the wilderness.
Summary: Because I would want to avoid the Correlation/Causation Fallacy, I would need to not know which students were which in this experiment. And I foresee some challenges that might not be avoidable and might skew this idea. There could be variables such as a student who is naturally highly stressed in the wilderness and his anxiety could spike giving my experiment the expected result but for the wrong reason. Not to mention the difficulty of setting up this experiment in the first place.
Personal note: Thinking about this idea has caused me to think in a more scientific way about the results of all experiments I learn about. The Correlation/Causation issue is one I fall victim to a lot. I like to think that I am an objective observer, but so far in this course, I am not so sure of that anymore. At the same time that I hate to have my thinking challenged in this way, I also feel excited that I am thinking on a deeper level than I ever have.
How would you select the groups at random? Would you use a number system? Perha.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

S. E. Anderson has taught mathematics, science and Black
History courses at Queens College, Sarah Lawrence College,
SUNY
at Old Westbury College, Rutgers University and the New
School University as well as CCNY & Queens Colleges’ Centers
for
Worker Ed. He has also spent many years working within the
anti-apartheid movement and for various African Liberation
struggles. He is currently doing national and international
education consulting work with a particular focus on developing
Africa Diaspora’s Math and Science curriculum. He is also a
math/science/Black History consultant within the African
American education community from public schools to the
university.
“Blackfolk have to struggle against a double psych-barrier:
Science as
divine and mysterious, and science as non-black in the socio-
historical
sense.” He argues that
“Technological oppression and dependence blocks us from
developing
- Revolutionary black scientists,
5. - Scientific and technological alternatives, and
- Scientific education among the masses of blackfolk.”

“I like to learn,” the mathematician told PEOPLE in 2016.
“That’s an art and a science. I’m always interested in
learning something new.”
Johnson went on to play a pivotal role in many of NASA’s first
space missions —performing trajectory analysis for
6. America’s first human spaceflight in 1961, and was also the
first woman in the Flight Research Division to get credit
as an author of a research report one year earlier.
One of her most memorable contributions, though, came in
1962, when Johnson helped crunch the numbers that
would control the trajectory for astronaut John Glenn (played by
Glen Powell in Hidden Figures) during his orbital
mission, making sure the IBM computer calculations were
correct.
“‘If [Katherine] says they’re good, then I’m ready to go,'”
Johnson recalled Glenn, who died in 2016 at the age of 95,
saying, according to her biography.
Before retiring from NASA in 1986, Johnson coauthored 26
research reports and worked on the Space Shuttle and
the Earth Resources Satellite, according to the agency. She also
received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from
President Barack Obama in 2015.

Science, Technology, and the Oppression of

African American Labor
The invention of the cotton gin (1794) led to the expansion
of Southern slave-based plantation system.
The invention of reapers, combines, and tractors
made the operation of small farms uneconomical
and led to the expulsion of huge numbers of
Black sharecroppers from farmlands. Those that
remained on the farm, were unable to acquire
enough capital for equitable participation in
industrialization.

“Shall the labor unions use their influence to deprive the black

give

Roosevelt calls the ‘square deal’ in the matters of labor?”
By Booker T. Washington (June 1913, The Atlantic)
Trade unions in the North excluded Blacks, and the
Depression largely eliminated independent Black artisans
and craftsmen.
5 Black-led Labor Unions:
❖ Black Sleeping Car Porters Union (est. 1925)
❖ Colored National Labor Union (est. 1869)
❖ National Domestic Worker’s Union (est. 1968, Atlanta)

❖ American League of Colored Laborers (est. 1850)
Science, Technology, and the
Oppression of African Americans
Science, Technology, and the Oppression of
African Americans: Storm Damage
Blacks provide cheap labor and forced to live in areas most
prone to storm damage and
subject to the least well-designed technological applications to
prevent flooding and
related catastrophes.
Galveston, Texas (1900)
Hurricane killed 6,000 people exposed racial animosities
(Blacks falsely accused of stealing
jewelry from victims)
10. Mississippi (1927)
During “Great Flood,” Blacks rounded up into work camps, held
by armed guards, and
prevented from leaving as the waters rose. After flood, city
leaders intentionally flooded
areas and reneged on promises to compensate those w hose
homes were destroyed.
Hurricane Katrina (New Orleans, 2005)
Blacks re-located to the Superdome, which was inadequate and
ill-
prepared to accommodate 1000s of Blacks seeking shelter
during
and after storm. Blacks were also accused of looting.
Hurricane Katrina (New Orleans, 2005)
Hurricane Katrina was a large and destructive Category 5
Atlantic hurricane that caused over 1,800 fatalities and $125
billion in damage in late August 2005, especially in the city of
New Orleans and the surrounding areas.
Flooding, caused largely as a result of fatal engineering flaws in
the flood protection system (levees) around the city of
New Orleans, precipitated most of the loss of lives. Eventually,
80% of the city, as well as large tracts of neighboring
parishes, were inundated for weeks.
Hurricane Katrina was the largest and 3rd strongest hurricane
11. ever recorded to make landfall in the US.
In New Orleans, the levees were designed for Category 3, but
Katrina peaked at a Category 5 hurricane, with winds up
to 175 mph.
96,000 fewer African-Americans are living in New Orleans now
than prior to Hurricane Katrina. Nearly 1 in 3 black
residents have not returned to the city after the storm.
Most shocking is the Lower Ninth Ward, where the average
resident was living on $16,000 a year before the hurricane.
You can still drive blocks there and not see a single home. The
neighborhood is still missing more than half its pre-
Katrina population.
The Lower Ninth Ward is a shell of its former self, with fewer
homes and fewer
people. (Ricky Carioti/The Washington Post)
Hurricane Katrina (New Orleans, 2005)
Lakeview, a prosperous white neighborhood on the east side
that also suffered
catastrophic flooding, looks better than it did before the storm
because of all the new
homes and businesses.
New Orleans’s economy is in many respects stronger today than
it was the day before the levees broke.
Yet the city’s remarkable recovery has, to a troubling degree,
left behind the African-Americans who still
12. make up the majority of its population. Black New Orleanians
are less likely to be working than when the
storm hit in 2005 and are more likely to be living in poverty.
Black household incomes, adjusted for
inflation, have fallen. And the earnings gap between black and
white residents has grown.
Fully 74% of blacks said they felt depressed by what had
happened to areas affected by the hurricane;
nearly as many (71%) felt angry. Fewer whites experienced such
strong emotions – 55% said they had
been depressed and 46% angry.

Long-standing tradition in America of using technology and
public policy to control residential options
available to African Americans
Segregation and Social Control
13. Gentrification (movement of middle-class Whites into central
city areas) is occurring in
many cities leading, in time, to Black displacement.
The withdrawal of federal support for low- and moderate-
income housing created
massive unmet housing need and persistent underdevelopment
in many inner-city areas
Broader pattern of racial segregation in cities creates an
environment in which most
Blacks have a high probability of experiencing policy
discrimination and differential access
to the benefits of technology.
Racial Segregation and Surveillance
Segregation enables public
officials to enhance the
surveillance of both individuals
and groups.
Technology makes surveillance
increasingly intrusive and a
potential threat to privacy
rights.
Social acceptance due to
concerns about future terrorist
attacks
Cameras mounted on street
corners monitor innocent and
lawful activities related to hip
14. hop artists/rappers or peaceful
protests against racist policies,
war, etc,…. and Increase use of
house arrest and electronic
monitoring 24-hours/day
Racial Medical Experimentation
❖ Abuse and Exploitation
❖ Clinical Material (slaves provided “bodies” for American
medical
research and medical training)
❖ Involuntary (poor, uneducated and/or incarcerated Blacks)
❖ “Blame the Victim” (Blacks responsible for their own
illnesses,
need for experimental remedies)
❖ Tuskegee Experiment
❖ Institutionalized Racism and Apprehension (racial/genetic
differences produced different physiological effects)
❖ Genetics
(Sara) Saartjie Baartman (1789-1815)
She was derisively named the “Hottentot Venus” by Europeans
as her body would be publicly examined and exposed
inhumanly throughout the duration of her young life. Moreover.
her experience reinforced the already existing and
extremely negative sexual fascination with African women
bodies by the people of Europe.
15. Born in South Africa, she was sold into slavery to a trader
named Pieter Willem Cezar, who took her to Cape Town where
she became a domestic slave to his brother, Hendrik. On
October 29, 1810, although she could not read, 21-year-old
Baartman supposedly signed a contract with William Dunlop, a
physician, who was a friend of the Cezar brothers.
This contract required her to travel with the Cezar brothers and
Dunlop to England and Ireland where she would work as a
domestic servant since technically slavery had been abolished in
Great Britain. Additionally, she would be exhibited for
entertainment purposes. Baartman would receive a portion of
earnings from her exhibitions and would be allowed to
return to South Africa after five years. However, the contract
was false on all details and her enslavement continued for
the remainder of her life.
Baartman was first exhibited in London in the Egyptian Hall at
Piccadilly Circus on November 24, 1810. In September 1814,
after staying four years in Great Britain, Baartman was taken to
France and sold to S. Reaux, an exhibitor who showcased
animals. He put Baartman on public display in and around Paris,
often at the Palais Royal. He also allowed her to be
sexually abused by patrons willing to pay for her defilement.
Reaux garnered considerable profit due to the public’s
fascination with Baartman’s body.
Sara Saartjie Baartman died in Paris
on December 29, 1815 at the age of
26 for unknown reasons. Even after
her death, many of her body parts
would go on display at the Musée de
l’Homme (Museum of Man), in Paris
16. to support racist theories about
people of African ancestry. Some of
the body parts remained on display
until 1974.
In 1994 South African President
Nelson Mandela formally requested
that Baartman’s remains be returned
to South Africa. On March 6, 2002,
her remains were returned and
buried at Hankey in the Eastern Cape
Province.

The Tuskegee Experiment
Experiment involved the deliberate denial of treatment for
syphilis to approximately four hundred African American
men and their families in the Tuskegee, Alabama, area from
1930 to 1970.
The experiment was conducted under the auspices of the Public
Health Service and had nothing to do with
“treatment.” No new drugs were tested, neither was any effort
made to establish the efficacy of old forms of
treatment. It was a non-therapeutic experiment, aimed at
compiling data on the spontaneous evolution of syphilis
on black males.
The Tuskegee Experiment has been one of many negative
experiences with medical, scientific, and technological
research that has contributed to tremendous apprehension
among African Americans about their use as guinea
pigs and the possibility of their being targets of genocidal
17. policies.
Many in African American community believe illnesses or
diseases like AIDS were created in a laboratory and
designed to annihilate people of African descent.
Variety of medications used to immobilize inmates and
subjugate “violent” or mentally ill African Americans
(including but not limited to anti-depressants, sedatives,
tranquilizers, and other powerful hypnotics)
Traditional African Technologies
The Struggle for Freedom
Food Production and Security
Households with children are more likely to be food insecure
than those without, although in more than half of these
households, only the adults were food insecure, because adults
typically choose to ensure their children eat even if it
means they go hungry.[9] Nevertheless, 5.3 million children
faced food insecurity themselves, and 361,000 children
suffered from very low food security in 2019.[10]
18. Households with children headed by a single woman are nearly
twice as likely as those headed by a single man to be
food insecure, though women living alone are at virtually equal
risk as men living alone. Black and Hispanic Americans
are much more likely to be food insecure than White Americans.

Food Production and Security
Counties with the highest rates of food insecurity (top 10
percent) tend to be disproportionately rural and located in the
South. This is largely due to persistently high rates of
unemployment and poverty. Socioeconomic disparities exist in
other
parts of the country as well, but have a disproportionate impact
on people of color, especially African Americans. As a result,
food insecurity sheds light on systemic barriers caused by
structural and institutional racism and discrimination.
Prior to COVID-19, all 3,142 counties and
county equivalents and 436 congressional
districts in all 50 states were home to
people who struggled with hunger. The
percentage of the population estimated to
be food insecure in 2018 ranged from a low
of 3.6 percent in Burke County, North
Dakota up to 30.4 percent in Jefferson
19. County, Mississippi.
Locally, we estimate that food insecurity
will increase in every county, congressional
district, and state because of COVID-19.
States with the highest projected food
insecurity rates in 2020 are largely
consistent with rankings based on 2018
rates.
George Washington Carver
George Washington Carver was a scientist, an accomplished
pianist, and a world renowned inventor. He used his creative
and scientific mind to create hundreds of uses for peanuts that
greatly increased farming and contributed to the economy
in the South. In fact, Carver researched and invented 300
different uses for peanuts including:
❖ Food products: peanut lemon punch, chili sauce, caramel,
peanut sausage, mayonnaise and coffee.
❖ Cosmetics: face powder, shampoo, shaving cream and hand
lotion
❖ Other commercial products: insecticides, glue, charcoal,
rubber, nitroglycerine, plastics and axle grease.
❖ He also developed 100 consumer products from the sweet
potato and 75 from the pecan in an effort to generate
markets for these alternative crops
Information Technology and the “Digital Divide”
20. The new information and communications revolution
could easily bypass the minority communities of America.
“Failure to bridge the gap will relegate our sons and
daughters to sit in the backseat of the technology train on
the Information Superhighway.”
Rep. Maxine Walters (D-CA), 2000
Technology and Racial Health Disparities
Black-White health disparities have remained
virtually unchanged since 1960, despite
reduced gaps in housing, education, and
income.

Instructions
Referring to the course materials for Chapter 9, what are some
of the major STEM and Health Disparities in African American
communities? (Please be very specific in your references to the
course materials.) Why do these disparities exist? In thinking
26. about your health care and medical history (family and
individual), do these disparities influence your attitudes about
science, technology, and health care in America? How and why?
(When was the last time that you had a doctor's visit or check
up? Do you trust America's doctors, researchers, and scientists
to give you the right information? Do you think that it is best to
trust only doctors, researchers, and scientists that are of the
same ethnic group(s) and/or gender as you are? Why? Would
you (or, have you in the past participated) participate in a
medical research study if it would cure or improve treatment for
a particular disease or medical condition? Why or why not?)
