b. Is it important to characterize such social problems as alcoholism and drug abuse as diseases rather than behavior disorders? What are the implications of treating other social problems as diseases? What about obesity? Domestic violence? What are the economic implications for the medical care system of the proliferation of these new “diseases”?

c. “It is impossible to place a dollar value on life. In other words, life is priceless.” How does this view create a dilemma for social decision making and effective resource allocation?

d. The United States takes pride in free market system, freedom, and individual achievements, yet one of the major problems in dealing with any welfare program is the tension between individual and social responsibility – Medicare is no different. Should adult children be responsible for the medical expenses of their parents? Where does individual and family responsibility end and social responsibility begin?

Writing in the 21st Century

What does it mean to be a writer in the 21st century? You are welcome to build off of Yancey’s ideas from “Writing in the 21st Century” or to make a more original claim. Your main claim should be the last sentence of your introduction.Then, each body paragraph should begin with a supporting claim that explores, explains, or  defends that main claim.After carefully considering the rhetorical situation and your own motivation, write a 1000-1500 word op-ed essay. That is, given everything that you have read and discussed, what do you want to say about writing constructs?

Please build the ideas off of the Yancey article and the shorter essay that I will upload,you are free to explore other ideas.
