7.H.2.4 Analyze the economic, political, and social impacts of disease (e.g. smallpox, malaria, bubonic plague, AIDS and avian flu) in modern societies. || ===‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍**Literacy Standard(s)**=== || ===‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍**Learning Target/Task Analysis**=== Diseases impact modern societies differently. Disease can cause the extinction of modern societies. Cultural ideas will impact how disease is recognized, accepted and treated within modern societies. Diseases can be man-made or found in nature. A variety of people/groups work together to help fight disease across the globe. For example:

 * ===‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍**Information Technology Standard**=== || ===‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍**Revised Bloom's Level of thinking**=== ||
 * The student will understand:

The arrival of the Spanish Conquistadors brought Small Pox to the indigenous people that they encountered in the Americas. Those indigenous groups did not have immunity to the disease and consequently lost thousands of people to it.

The student will know: Key terms including but not limited to: o Pandemic o Epidemic o Communicable disease o Deficiency o Environmental factors o Immunity o Biological Warfare o

NGO (non-governmental organization)

How disease spreads between cultures. Ways that cultures address the impacts of disease. For example:

AIDS is a global epidemic that has social, economic and political implications for nations. Educating the community to know about the disease and how to prevent it spread requires financial investment by impacted groups. Research and treatment requires money. Cultural norms contribute to the ease with which the community learns about and deals with the spread of AIDS. In Africa, education of women and men about prevention is the first line of defense. Secondly, society must deal with the results of large infection and death rates due to the disease such as labor shortage and large numbers of orphaned children. NGOs work from a variety of perspectives to address the economic, political and social impacts of AIDS with both industrial and industrializing societies. ||
