FINAL ESSAY 3 Pаrаgrаphs Minimum (5 sentences minimum per paragraph) Write a respоnse tо оne of the four topics below, demonstrating you understand the meanings of biological determinism, dehumanization, and the complexities of the issue you select: CHOOSE ONE OF THE FOLLOWING 1. Late 19th-century physicians pathologized disability and race through frameworks that included physiognomy, eugenics, and moral defect theories. Referencing examples covered in class, share your bioethical assessment of how such practices dehumanized patients and how contemporary nursing can counter their inherited structures. 2. Hysteria and nymphomania were invented to enforce a biomedical definition of the “normal” woman as a type. Give your bioethical assessment of how this produced social expectations for women’s sexuality, behavior, and reproductive roles. How did medical authority impact women's autonomy and regulate women who did not conform to social norms? In what ways does contemporary nursing approach patient care differently today? 3. 19th-century clinical settings treated disabled patients and patients of color as research specimens, often displaying them to students and classifying them as “abnormal.” Give your bioethical assessment of how these practices impacted patients and the broader society -- including norms or policies (The Ugly Laws) -- and evaluate how modern patient-centered care offers alternative models. 4. Late 19th-century eugenics shaped immigration law, public-health, state surveillance, and assumptions about “fitness.” Give your bioethical assessment of how these policies and discourses influenced the treatment, classification, and everyday experiences of Chinese Americans and/or Americans with disabilities during this period. What lessons do immigration policies and/or the Ugly Laws teach us for delivering healthcare today? Note: References to examples from class can include the case studies assessed by you and your peers for the Short Assignments. Upstream social structures covered in Unit 2 (after the Midterm Exam): • Spanish Missions. • The Indian Removal Act and Native American reservations. • Inventing the normal woman as a type. • Forced institutionalization of "abnormal" people to asylums. • The institution of slavery. • Native American boarding schools. • The prison system. • The Ugly laws. • The Chinese Exclusion Act and the Page Act. • Eugenics hierarchy and policy.
TRUE оr FALSE: Lоmbrоso аnd Ferrero in Criminаl Womаn (1893) compared European women who committed crimes to ordinary women of color who did not commit crimes, claiming that Indigenous African and Native American phenotypes were signs of primitiveness, and a biological propensity for crime. This shows that ties between race and biological determinism of criminality were part of the birth of criminology.
