And then watch my powerpoint lecture in week 5 about domestic adoption, international adoption, and foster to adopt. If you read my bio, you saw that we have adopted a black boy out of fostercare and we are a Caucasian family. Dont let that deter you from giving an honest opinion. You are not a racist because you may think that there are benefits to children being raised in their own race or culture. In fact, this is an issue that needs to be talked about and researched as we watch various countries open and close international adoptions as they process some of these important issues. We had many discussions with our own family and friends that had concerns about what was best for our adoptive son. Its important to discuss the benefits and drawbacks to interracial adoption. What do you think of the 3 types of adoption? Do you know someone who was adopted and has adopted and has experienced any of the issues you are researching? Gender Selection:Please read Issue 2.2 in your Taking Sides textbook Should Parents be able to choose their babys sex? and watch the 4 minute clip of the documentary Its a girl below.

This assignment proceeds in four steps: Preparation Step One: Read the AAP Policy Statement located below. Make some notes for yourself about points of agreement or disagreement you have with the statement and specific findings regarding media depictions of substance use that you want to assess when you write the paper. Step Two: Find a current example of substance use portrayal seen in the media; for example, scenes from a movie, a television show, or a commercial; print ads; or portrayals found in new media as discussed in the AAP article. The Internet is a good tool for finding film or television portrayals of substance use as well as examples of print ads if ready access to first-hand media is not available.

What messages about the substance are being portrayed? How accurate are those messages relative to the actual data on substance use? Be sure to cite the textbook as needed. Continue by comparing and contrasting the portrayal of substance use found in the media with the criticism of media portrayals found in the AAP paper. Does the media example match their arguments or contradict them? What links and connections can be made? Be sure to cite the article as needed. Next, draw some conclusions about the portrayal of substance use found in the media, addressing the following: What are the implications of this type of portrayal? What messages are being sent and to whom? Are those messages an accurate representation of the use of this substance? Should media portrayals be required to be accurate in their depictions of use, showing both positive and negative consequences? Finally, review the guidelines suggested by the AAP at the end of their policy statement and address the following: Although directed specifically at pediatricians, which of those recommendations is most important? Why? Are these recommendations necessary? If followed, will they be effective in addressing the concerns raised earlier in the article? Be sure to cite sources as needed.
