Think about the health effects engendered by variations in race, ethnicity, and social class. Using text and/or graphics, provide a one- to two-page analysis of the linkages among race, ethnicity, social class, and health disparities. If you wish, you may draw these linkages using a third party website, a clear photo, or scan of legible pen or pencil drawings either saved as an image and inserted into your journal document or attached as a .pdf file. If doing the latter, your .pdf image should be descriptively named using the following format: lastnamefirstinitialWeekJournal.pdf. For example, John Stuart Mill would save his file as jmillWeek2Journal.pdf.
