Advice: If it is not evident in your answers that you read the textbook this week, you will be docked points for having an incomplete answer. This does not mean that you should just blindly "quote" something from the text--it means you should read the text, consider the arguments the text is making to or against a specific point, and use the text to support YOUR answers to this week's focus questions. 

1. For this question, I would like you to ask questions you might have or formulate comments in response to the two videos you'll be watching this week from the Unnatural Causes series, "Place Matters" and "Bad Sugar."  You can take notes as you are watching the videos and then transfer them here to this answer block, and then formulate your questions based from those notes. I can't imagine you wouldn't have fewer than two questions from each video, but if you are struggling for a question, you can write a response to a point the video highlights. Tell me the point the video makes, and then write your response below. You will need to provide 4---- 4 questions total, 3 questions 1 comment, 2 questions 2 comments, 3 comments 1 question, or 4 comments. Some combination of those options!
2. How have the rates of childhood homelessness changed from 2013 to 2016 in Oregon? Hint--use the PBS link from 2013 (related to the Frontline documentary, Poor Kids, that you watched last week) and the most recent Housing and Urban Development (HUD) report from 2016 to formulate your answer. 
3. Sugar. There are two videos this week concerning sugar. Compare and contrast the information given in the videos. Is sugar "bad" for us? How do sugar politics influence public health policy, and how does that policy affect people?

4. The NPR article about the prevalence of suicide in Greenland asserts that it isn't the dark (in other words, lack of a regular light and dark cycle of days, the fact that Greenland has many dark, no sunlight, days in a row) that makes people in Greenland more likely to suicide. So, what is it, then? If it isn't the dark that kills you, what does increase suicidality in Greenland among Greenlanders specifically?
