Social Illness

1. Discuss the use of medical diagnosis as a “get out of jail free card.” To what extent does society allow the diagnosed a pass that others do not enjoy? If we do so, why?

2. What are some of the consequences of “medicalizing” certain conditions? (use book “The Medicalization of society” by Peter Conrad ISBN: 978-0-8018-8585-3) Please use MLA citation with correct page numbers attached to citation.

3. If you were offered a free genetic test for inherited/inheritable diseases by the government would you take it? What about if your current employer offered the same tests? Should these results be part of your “permanent record?”

4. What does it mean when Weitz says “illness is a social construction?” Explain.( Use book “The Sociology of Health, Illness, & Health Care” by Rose Weitz (sixth edition) ISBN:978-1-111-82879-0
