Over the past several decades medical sociology has become a major subdiscipline of sociology, at the same time assuming an increasingly conspicuous role in health care disciplines such as public health, health care management, nursing, and clinical medicine. The name medical sociology garners immediate recognition and legitimacy and, thus, continues to be widely used—for instance, to designate the Medical Sociology Section of the American Sociological Association—even though most scholars in the area concede that the term is narrow and misleading. Many courses and texts, rather than using the term "sociology of medicine," refer instead to the sociology of health, health and health care, health and illness, health and medicine, or health and healing. The study of medicine is only part of the sociological study of health and health care, a broad field ranging from (1) social epidemiology, the study of socioeconomic, demographic, and behavioral factors in the etiology of disease and mortality; to (2) studies of the development and organizational dynamics of health occupations and professions, hospitals, health maintenance and long-term care organizations, including interorganizational relationships as well as interpersonal behavior, for example, between physician and patient; to (3) the reactions of societies to illness, including cultural meanings and normative expectations and, reciprocally, the reactions of individuals in interpreting, negotiating, managing, and socially constructing illness experience; to (4) the social policies, social movements, politics, and economic conditions that shape and are shaped by health and disease within single countries, as well as in a comparative, international context.

However we could lessen its prevalence: (1) educate people about the effects of inequality; (2) engage them in talks that relates to being empathetic with the inferior group; and (3) educate the inferior, let them know their rights.

When preparing food, it is especially important to keep _______________ out of the danger zone because bacteria can grow rapidly
yan [13]

When preparing food, it is especially important to keep the temperature out of the danger zone because bacteria can grow rapidly in this temperature range.

Bacteria grow at very high speeds in the range of the danger zone, which is the range of temperatures between 40° F and 140° F. Leaving food out at room temperature for a long time (more than 1-2 hours) can lead to some bacteria to grow to levels which are dangerous. 

Hope this helps:)
