This document summarizes and discusses several readings related to sociology of gender from a class. It discusses how gender roles are socially constructed and enforced from a young age. It provides examples of how certain behaviors are deemed masculine or feminine. It also discusses several cases where individuals' gender identities were challenged or denied, such as Maria Patino being deemed not a woman by the IOC based on a medical test, and the case of John/Joan where a child was raised as the opposite gender without consent. It argues that gender is a personal identity rather than something defined by biology or society.
The document discusses a woman's long search for relief from restless leg syndrome (RLS) symptoms. Over many years, she tried various alternative treatments, including special diets, herbs, chiropractic care, acupuncture, and massage with no lasting success. In desperation, she finally saw a neurologist who prescribed medications including Requip, Klonopin, and codeine which provided significant relief from her RLS symptoms at night, allowing her to sleep.

Raising a child in the UK to the age of 21 costs on average over £250,000, more than the average price of a UK home. Health care costs alone will be around £250,000 over the 21 year period. Research also found that households spend around 38% of their income on raising children, and childcare costs rose 4.3% last year. The costs vary depending on location, from £214,000 in Yorkshire to £253,000 in London. Education is one of the largest costs, at £74,000 on average excluding private schooling. Food costs a significant £19,000 to feed a child from birth to age 21. The high costs must be managed over the 21 year
This document discusses an ecosystemic play therapy model for addressing the whole child. It explores how daily stressors from a child's family, school, community, and environment can influence their behaviors. These stressors include academic demands, family problems, financial issues, and exposure to violence. The ecosystemic play therapy model considers a child's problems and therapy within the context of their entire ecosystem. The role of the therapist is to help the child understand treatment, establish rapport, engage in problem-solving, and motivate behavior change by setting limits with the child and caregivers. The overall approach focuses on identifying the underlying causes of a child's behaviors and changing their thought processes to improve behaviors.
Outdoor play is essential for children's healthy development of mind, body and spirit. However, American children now spend much less time playing outside and more time engaged with electronic media and indoor activities. This shift has profound health impacts, including higher rates of obesity, vitamin D deficiency, myopia, and attention issues. Regular unstructured outdoor play, in contrast, is associated with improved concentration and school performance, stronger physical fitness, and reduced risk of various diseases. Reconnecting children with nature is critical for their well-being.

How Startups Are Like Babies: Raising a child and a startup 10 things they ha...Raina Kumra
This document compares raising a startup to raising a child through an investor presentation style deck. It outlines several stages that are similar for both startups and children, including the fun initial conception phase, the endless learning curve, how much surplus they consume through time and resources, and how you are never fully done and always wearing many hats.

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.
Vicinity Jobs’ data includes more than three million 2023 OJPs and thousands of skills. Most skills appear in less than 0.02% of job postings, so most postings rely on a small subset of commonly used terms, like teamwork.
Laura Adkins-Hackett, Economist, LMIC, and Sukriti Trehan, Data Scientist, LMIC, presented their research exploring trends in the skills listed in OJPs to develop a deeper understanding of in-demand skills. This research project uses pointwise mutual information and other methods to extract more information about common skills from the relationships between skills, occupations and regions.
