    The Austin Community located on the Westside of Chicago is plagued by a series of problems involving African American youth between the ages of 7-17. One of the problems is that many of these youth participate in gang affiliation, drug use, crime, unhealthy eating habits and sexual habits, gang and domestic violence, abuse, bullying, teen pregnancy and the list goes on. Another major reason why the Austin area is plagued by some many social concerns is due to poverty. This harsh reality is also stated in the Chicago data mapping which states, “35.6% of Austin residents live below the poverty level” (). Being that my internship site BUILD is located in the Austin Community and that I intern and work with the youth at Leland Elementary in this community all of the youth participants I work with are currently affected or associated with these issues in some way.…

    The Merchants of Cool is a documentary about researchers and marketers exploring out into the society to see what is popular or cool in the latest trends within teenagers. These people would spend days going around the streets, malls, and even schools to find out what is the next big thing that will give them the attention from people. They would have the teenagers participate in surveys and studies while analyzing them thoroughly to portray the founded characteristics into the media. These marketers realized that teenagers are actually portraying themselves to the media so the media would then reveal it back to the teenagers, which teenagers then sees it and portrays them that way. The only disadvantage of that was once the marketer reveals what is cool to the world, they would have to go on the radar and find out what is the next thing that is cool. We live in a culture, a consumer culture to be specific where we are driven to buy things, especially teenagers, which is fueled by corporate motivation to annual grow profits. There was a teenager in the video and she stated that no matter where she goes, she must always get ready to look nice before she leaves the house. As mentioned earlier, sometimes the media depicts things that will cause teenagers to feel like they are not good enough, thin enough, or pretty enough and the negative thoughts build up. Although this video was made about twelve years ago, teenagers are still the same as today. Teenagers should not have look into the media or advertisement to find out what they want or how are they supposed to be. Each individual is different with a unique mind so every teenager should act and be like however they want. Teenagers just needs to understand that the cool hunters are just being paid to find people who they think are cool to ask questions and find answers, which advertisers and producers will then use this cool information to sell more…

    There are approximately 200 accredited birth centers across the United States that provide a beginning infrastructure for making childbearing centers the frontline of maternity care (Mason, Leavitt, & Chafee, 2012). These centers have been shown to be cost effective and unique in the way that, without disparity, they are able to offer safe, high quality, family centered care to individuals. Recently, while the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecologists (ACOG) have shown support to these accredited birthing centers, they still show resistance to programs, such as these, that veer away from organized medicine. These facilities are being threatened by lack of funding and lack of providers available to fill the roles that many individuals require. This paper will explore an interview with maternal health expert and health model pioneer Ruth Watson Lubic, EdD, CNM, which outline the disparities faced by these institutions. Feasible strategies to expand the role and opportunity for nurses to address the primary care supply and demand gap will also be reviewed. Finally, the role that nurses take in advocacy for much needed health care policy and reform to address these disparities will also be discussed, in order to promote becoming more visible and influential within this infrastructure.…

    Every year, more than three million infants are born in the United States. For the mother, one of the most important things is bringing the baby out from the womb safely into the world. The majority of women choose to birth their children in hospitals with doctors, mainly because it is believed that hospitals are the safest environment to birth a child. Others, decide to stick to what they consider a more natural option: at home births with midwives. Whatever the situation may be, the mothers have their child’s best interest at hand. The fact of the matter is, no matter how well one plans, and no matter how excellent a medical professional may be, sometimes complications are inevitable. Historically midwives did not have to be doctors, because…
