Alexandra Howson opens this series of essays by introducing the term “medicalization.” She defines it as “a concept
that captures the processes through which medicine and medical culture categorize physical, emotional, and social
phenomena as normal or not-normal.” Her essay also highlights how medicine and science confront a variety of social
and cultural forces and therefore provide sociologists with many opportunities for research and study. The complexity
of interconnected fields is emphasized in Karen M. Harbeck’s essay on the legal and ethical issues of life and death.
The topic of assisted suicide, for example, continues to cause controversy, as this subject challenges the very basics of
how society understands the role of medicine. The following essay turns more broadly to today’s leading public health
threats, which encompass everything from second-hand smoke to the threat of bioterrorism.
