  1. What was surprising or interesting in the video?

From a sociological lens, it was surprising to learn about the significant disparities in healthcare access faced by the LGBTQIA+ community. Despite advancements in social acceptance and legal protections, the video highlighted that this community still encounters significant barriers when seeking basic medical care. The personal stories and experiences shared in the video were particularly compelling, illustrating the real-world consequences of these disparities.

  1. What is the main topic of the video, and what do you think about it?

The main topic of the video seems to be the healthcare challenges faced by the LGBTQIA+ community. This topic is crucial because it brings to light an often overlooked aspect of social inequality. Healthcare is a fundamental right, and it's concerning that members of this community are still discriminated against or underserved in this essential service. It underscores the need for more inclusive and sensitive healthcare practices that cater to the specific needs of the LGBTQIA+ population.

My thoughts on this are that it's high time we addressed these disparities. The medical community needs to be proactive in providing culturally sensitive and affirming care. Moreover, medical education should include comprehensive training on LGBTQIA+ health issues to ensure that future healthcare professionals are equipped to serve this community effectively.

  1. How does the topic of this video tie to what we have been discussing in class?

The topic of the video ties closely to our discussions in class about social stratification, inequality, and minority group experiences. In sociology, we often explore how different social groups are treated within society, and the LGBTQIA+ community is a prime example of a group that has historically faced discrimination and marginalization. The video underscores how these societal issues manifest in the realm of healthcare, affecting individuals' physical and mental well-being.

Furthermore, it aligns with our discussions on the importance of social institutions, particularly the medical system, in perpetuating or challenging social inequalities. The video highlights how the current medical system often fails to meet the needs of the LGBTQIA+ community, pointing to the need for institutional change and greater awareness among healthcare professionals.

1. Summary Scientific method is a method of acquiring knowledge, a systematic mode of thinking and a means of research, which is used to solve problems, explore laws and test theories. The key processes include observing phenomena, constructing hypotheses, planning experiments, collecting data, analyzing results, and summarizing conclusions. The scientific method focuses on proof and repeatability, using experiments and observations to test hypotheses during research, and adjusting or confirming theories based on data. 2. Mention of new, interesting The debate between postmodernism and modernism has been going on for a long time, and they have done a lot of research to carry out this debate. Although this problem has been solved with the efforts of scientists, it also shows that the development of anything is not static, and only continuous exploration can make better progress. 3.

  summarize The scientific method is not a single recipe. It requires intelligence, creativity and imagination. In this sense it is not a blind standard or procedure, but more a way of thinking that encourages us to remain open and critical, constantly challenging and validating existing theories.

About the points I learned 1. The scientific method is based on careful observation and rigorous skepticism. This means that scientists should not readily accept any ideas or assumptions, but should always question and think critically about observational data. 2.Scientific inquiry is not merely the pursuit of truth, but the process of shedding inhibited skepticism and establishing reliable beliefs.

 Summary: Social stratification is a multidimensional concept encompassing the impact of factors such as wealth, income, race, education, and occupation on individuals' social status. In modern Western societies, social stratification is typically divided into upper class, middle class, and lower class, with each class further subdivided into smaller categories. Social stratification is not only about quantitative inequalities but also involves beliefs and attitudes toward social status. Within complex social structures, there exist various stratification phenomena, with the most privileged individuals and families enjoying disproportionate access to income, power, and other social resources. Social mobility refers to the movement of individuals, social groups, or populations between or within layers of the stratification system. Open stratification systems allow for mobility between individuals, whereas closed systems have minimal mobility, with social status often remaining uncha
