University of California Davis Care Documentary Review

Need help with my Social Science question – I’m studying for my class.

Students are encouraged to engage in conversations virtually with your classmates. Every week, students will post at least ONE open-ended question* OR response These posts should demonstrate your comprehension of the assigned reading(s), and/or make connections between the reading(s) and the film assigned for that week. The instructor will also post a couple of questions for discussion on Wednesday before lecture. Students can choose to post a question or respond to others’ questions.

*Open-ended questions are questions that cannot be answered simply by “yes” or “no.” Open-ended questions prompt a conversation and inspire thoughts.

1.The documentary Care shows us the precarious life of care workers when they are taking care of the most vulnerable group in our society — the elderly. They might live in and on call 24/7. They might be undocumented and alone in a foreign country. They might have no permanent home. They might not earn enough to support their own family and children. Their employers are also suffering from physical disability, mental distress, and also financial hardship. What do you think is “good” care for both the senior and caregivers? What can be done, by the government and each of us, to make a change? One day we will all get old, what kind of care you hope you can receive? https://www.kanopy.com/product/care

2.Birth control and abortion are controversial topics around the world as well as in the United State. It is often divided between “pro-choice” or “pro-life” camps although the issue is much more complicated than choice or life. Not every state grants women’s right to abortion. Do you support a universal abortion law? Why or why not? Do you think there should be some sorts of prerequisite for abortion?
