Unit 8: Discussion 2
.
The two topics that
you are dealing with are two highly emotionally charged subjects.
Obviously it is impossible to cover these topics sufficiently in just one
unit. Hopefully the readings, questions, and homework will provide you
with a basis of knowledge upon which you can expand.
You are required to
post your initial answers morning; your comments on the postings of your
classmates are due on Sunday at midnight. Please be sure that your
comments to peers are substantive; do not simply write "I disagree";
if you disagree, go on to explain your comment and add your own insights. All
initial and follow-up responses require research and appropriate citations. You
should have a minimum of two postings (one initial and one/more follow-up
response/s) for each thread.
The following rubric
will be used to score your discussion postings:
0-3
points |
Only
minimal response given with no elaboration OR failed to complete follow-up
postings |
4-7
points |
Basic
response and follow-up posting; all were clear and relevant, but needed more
detail. |
8-10
points |
All
responses were elaborated, clear, and detailed; complete responses and
follow-up postings. |
Discussion Topic
Heart disease is the leading
cause of death in the United States. Almost 700,000 people die of heart disease
in the U.S. each year. Heart disease is a term that includes several more
specific heart conditions, although the most common heart disease in the United
States is coronary heart disease, which can lead to heart attacks.
·
What factors in the Industrial Age caused the rate of heart
disease to grow, particularly in the mid-20th century?
·
Why is it so common today?
Make sure that you use
sources for BOTH time frames (20th century and present day). Make good use of
your textbook and other sources. Provide complete citations for these sources
and use direct quotes sparingly.
