University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point Major Cut Plan
Andrew
Elrod
On March 15, the UW-Stevens Point held a forum where they proposed cutting 13 majors in the humanities and social science departments. Due to uproar from students, the plan was edited to where only 7 were cut. Unfortunately this still includes History in the majors that are being dropped.
Why does it matter?
History is an important study that has truly relevant impact on society today. We gain insight into modern day problems by looking at similar situations in the past.

This decision, while an anomoly, still raises concerns as History is often regarded as a major that has little application in the job market.
Evaluating Information
Historical study is important in teaching how to ensure information you've gathered is valid and legitimate. Argumentation is a skill necessary in many fields beyond History. Without proper backing, your validity will be in question.
Civic Engagement
By looking to the past, you can help improve the present. Movements throughout history have worked to improve the lives of people in various communities whether it be workers or marginalized groups.
Significance
Historical study often raises questions of the importance of certain events or practices. From political decisions to cultural traditions, History teaches students how to identify significant ideas and themes.
1973 APA Resolution- Homosexuality is not a mental disorder
Before 1973, homosexuality was classified as a degenerative mental health disorder. After considerable social and internal pressure, it amended this decision. “We will no longer insist on a label of sickness for individuals who insist that they are well and demonstrate no generalized impairment in social effectiveness.” (APA, Washington Post 1973)

John E. Fryer, speaking in disguise at the 1972 annual convention of the American Psychiatric Association. Fryer was the only gay psychiatrist who agreed to speak on the matter of homosexuality in relation to psychology (even in disguise). His disguise was also notable for being nightmare-inducing.
Connectivity
Connectivity
There was a disconnect between the LGBT movement and the American Psychiatric association. Hardworking, intelligent, empathic members of society were told that, because of their sexuality, they were degenerates who needed to reform. With this resolution, this lack of understanding was rectified and our society made a step towards acceptance. With this barrier removed, blind condemnation gave way to curiosity, which gave way to connective understanding. For reasons which are self-evident, this radically impacted the field of mental health - and in turn the understanding of human beings worldwide.
Marginalization
- Gave credence to the LGBT movement, and gradually led to a more open dialogue nationally.
- Forced those who decried the LGBT movement and question where their contempt originated from (notably, devoutly religious therapists).
- Decline in conversion therapy.
Marginalization
Implications
- Pre-resolution, gay workers in mental health were forced to remain extremely closeted.
- Laypeople could dismiss opinions of homosexual individuals, citing they were mentally ill.
- Created a negative feedback loop with gay individuals (face social hostility due to sexual identity, seek talk therapy, told primary problem is sexual identity.)

Racial Profiling
Executive Director Order Number 01-003
- "Racial profiling," means that the decision to stop a boat, vehicle, or pedestrian, or conduct a search or an inspection is based solely upon a person's race, nationality, or ethnic origin.
- To ensure the Department's law enforcement policies and procedures uphold the fair treatment of all people in Texas, the Executive Director prohibits the use of racial profiling by all law enforcement officers commissioned by the Department.
- Texas Parks and Wildlife Department officers are expected to continue lawful enforcement activity and inspections. Officers may stop a vehicle, boat or pedestrian based only on reasonable suspicion that an occupant of the vehicle or boat, the pedestrian, or wildlife resources contained in the vehicle or boat, or possessed by a pedestrian are involved in a violation of law or on other legal grounds.

My Argument/ conclusion
The End
1998 OSHA policy on the handling of dimethylmercury
- On August of 1996, A chemist at Dartmouth university had two drops of dimethylmercury fell on the back of her latex glove, as this was the safety precaution of the day, and followed proper cleaning procedure immediately after the incident.
- 5 months later, she went to the hospital reporting signs of mercury poisoning and, despite doctors best efforts, she passed in June of 1997.
- It was later discovered that dimethylmercury is able to penetrate latex gloves in less than 15 seconds and those two drops were more than the .1 ml required to kill a person.
- This led outcries in the chemistry community ultimately resulting in OSHA issuing strict requirements in the handling of dimethylmercury, such as Silver Shield gloves should be worn underneath a second glove made of neoprene.

Salazar
Significance
- "Employees have a right and need to know the properties and potential safety and health hazards of substances to which you may be exposed in the course of performing your duty"- UTD EHS
- It assures that employers provide information regarding hazardous chemicals in the workplace to employees who may be exposed to those chemicals in the workplace
- Employers are mandated to update the workplace chemical list every year
Impacts
- Workers that are exposed to dangerous environment are aware of the potential hazards
- Essential to maintaining the general health and welfare of other employees
- Reduces the incidence and cost of occupational illness and injury
Callings
- Sharon Long, Forensic Artist, Evaluated information by generating art that helped investigations
- Rose Brudno, A Bar Owner, she used voice to say no to serving people check that needed to support their family
- Alton Yates, Aeromedical Field Tester, displayed collaboration because he participated in projects of the Air Force
Evaluating Information
Evaluating Information
Relates to HAZCOM because in the workforce you
- Identify Hazards and risk factors that have potential harm (Hazard Identification)
- Analyze and evaluate the risk associated with the hazard(Risk Analysis)
- Determine appropriate ways to eliminate or control the hazard (Risk Control)
Voice
Relates to HAZCOM because there are symbols in the workplace that convey the potential hazards that are present
Some of the Symbols of the GHS represents Conditions such as Health Hazard, Flame, Gas Cylinder, Exploding Bomb among many more
Voice
GHS known as the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals
Collaboration
Relates to HAZCOM policy because HSE(Health, Safety, and Environmental) team need to work to locate potential hazards
Collaboration
The HSE team collaborates with managers and workers on job sites to accomplish Hazard Identification, Risk Analysis, and Risk Control
Policy

Why Do Smart People Do Foolish Things
Step 3
We all probably know someone who is intelligent, but does surprisingly stupid things. In this critical reading it was talking about how Intelligent people tend to make poor decision. This connect to the policy, because some people just think they too smart for everything but end up hurting themselves. They would do something like not wearing safety goggles and still do the experiment.
