Grade Level: High School – Community College

This curriculum unit helps to make pertinent information about health care accessible to secondary school students. "Personal and Community Health" is a key section of the National Science Education Standards. One of the standards specifically notes that "personal goals, peer and social pressures, ethnic and religious beliefs, and understanding of biological consequences can all influence decisions about health practices." In addition, one of the National School Health Education Standards focuses on how one's cultural background influences health. To help students understand the importance of these standards, this curriculum unit introduces students to several of the key issues surrounding health care. These issues are bioethics, aging, and health care systems. A great deal of controversy surrounds these issues, and this controversy is illuminated in this unit through case studies of the United States and Japan.

Lesson One, Exploring Bioethical Issues in a Cross-Cultural Context: Brain Death and Organ Transplantation in the United States and Japan, introduces students to ethical considerations surrounding the issues of brain death and organ transplantation in the United States and Japan. Using case studies from both countries, students will explore how medical, social, cultural, and legal definitions of death vary between and within these nations. This lesson will encourage students to understand both the biological processes causing brain death as well as the ethical debates surrounding it. Students planning careers in medical and legal fields may be especially interested in the topics addressed by this lesson.

Lesson Two, Understanding Population Change: A Case Study of the Aging Society in the United States and Japan, introduces students to issues surrounding the aging of society in the United States and Japan. Specifically, students will learn why and how each society is undergoing demographic change, and the ways in which each country is attempting to address the needs of its older citizens. The class will also be introduced to the concept of futures studies through this lesson. Students interested in pursuing careers in health care, public policy, social work, and statistics may be especially interested in the topics addressed by this lesson.

Lesson Three, Health Care Systems: The United States and Japan, introduces students to key issues surrounding health care systems in both countries. While health insurance is an important part of a health care system, it is only one of many dimensions. A health care system goes beyond insurance, covering aspects such as how hospitals and doctors are organized and paid, and the roles played by private industry and government. Perhaps most importantly, health care systems create incentives for all parties involved. As students will learn, incentives are often central to understanding the behavior of doctors, patients, and governments. Students interested in pursuing careers in health care, public policy, social work, and statistics may be especially interested in the topics addressed by this lesson.

Unit Goals

Each of the three lessons in this curriculum unit has specific learning objectives listed. The following are larger goals for the curriculum unit as a whole. In this curriculum unit, students will:

  • explore bioethical issues in a cross-cultural context;
  • learn about issues surrounding aging societies;
  • be introduced to health care systems; and
  • learn about insurance.

Great value for a one-time event! Perfect for graduation.
Color: Black, Size: Large, Color: Black, Size: Large
I bought this suit for my son's graduation, and it was exactly what we needed. Since he will probably only wear it once, I didn't want to spend a fortune at a high-end department store. For the price, the quality is surprisingly good; it looked sharp and he received a lot of compliments during the ceremony. We ordered a size Large (L) based on their sizing chart, and it was true to size and fit him perfectly. The fabric is lightweight but doesn't look cheap at all, making this a fantastic, excellent cost-benefit choice if you are looking for an option for a one-time event. Highly recommended!

Great for the price.
Color: Black, Size: Large, Color: Black, Size: Large
I’m 220lbs 6’1 athletic build. Arms/back couldn’t fit inside the jacket. Pants and vest fit fine though. I honestly should get stuff tailored considering my body competition. Good quality for the price worked for me.

XL sized suit review
Color: Light Blue, Size: X-Large
I ordered XL for my husband who is 6'1" and weighs 200 lbs. The pants' length was too long and we had to cut off two inches and get them hemmed. Jacket could be a little bigger in the mid section and shoulders but vest fit well. Could do without the fake handkerchief in the suit jacket pocket. Still liked the style and the color of the light blue suit.

Perfect for teens
Color: Black, Size: XX-Large
Great suit! Great quality for the price. Very impressed. Bought for my teens. Didn't want to spend a lot on something they won't wear more than a couple times before they grow again. This suit is great. A tad long in the arms and legs. But overall, its perfect. Fitting suit, but got a size larger for their comfort. Surprised at the quality, my mom was impressed and she knows suits.
