Suggest two scenarios that depict the potential effect(s) of hospital functions that need performance improvement. Theorize one possible outcome of your proposed scenario.

Statement 1: “there is a certain crowd in Washington who, for the last few decades, have said, let’s respond to this economic challenge with the same old tune. The market will take care of everything, they tell us. If we just cut more regulations and cut more taxes – especially for the wealthy – our economy will grow stronger. Sure, they say, there will be winners and losers. But if the winners do really well, then jobs and prosperity will eventually trickle down to everybody else. And, they argue, even if prosperity doesn’t trickle down, well, that’s the price of liberty.”

 

Statement 2: “there is a certain crowd in Washington who, for the last few decades, have said, let’s respond to this economic challenge with the same old tune. The government will take care of everything, they tell us. If we just pile on even more regulations and raise taxes – especially on the wealthy – our economy will grow stronger. Sure, they say, there will be winners and losers. But if the losers are protected by more social programs and a higher minimum wage, if there is more Quantitative Easing by the Fed., then jobs and prosperity will eventually trickle up to everybody else. And, they argue, even if prosperity doesn’t trickle up, well, that’s the price of a social safety net.”

 

These statements are based upon the US economy and different, well-known, economic governmental philosophies implemented frequently. These are very BIG economic statements which means these statements refer to many different aspects of macroeconomic government policy. During this course, we have already discuss some some portions of these theories and will eventually discuss other portions of these theories.

 

1. Which philosophy do you agree with? Why? Narrow down your thoughts to one aspect of these macroeconomic policies, i.e taxes (more or less), government spending, government welfare spending, monetary growth, effects of government regulation, etc.

 

2. Find at least TWO ECONOMIC  journal articles that either agrees with or disagrees with the philosophy that you have chosen in #1. 

 

3. Find a popular press article that argues the OPPOSITE

 

3. Summarize your journal article as it refutes your popular press article. This summary should be in terminology that could be understood by your fictional high school senior. 

 

4. Your summary should be at least 500 words.

Participate in weekly classroom discussions including assigned discussions, assigned chapters, supplements, problems, articles, and any other topics related to the week’s course of study.  The Original Posting is to be completed by Thursday Night.  The Other Posting is to be completed by Sunday Night.

Imagine you are the manager of a health care clinic. Recommend three tactics to increase the value of the services offered that would boost the health care organization’s competitive advantage.  Include concepts from the weekly reading in the textbook or from peer-reviewed journal articles.

•When completed, upload to the appropriate place in Moodle.•Make sure to type this. Using Word, preferably.•Cite your sources. 

  An adaptation is a characteristic of a population that develops over time and that proves beneficial to that population in surviving and reproducing in a new habitat. Describe one adaptation that modern humans have made that might not have been shared by our distant ancestors but that allows us to survive and reproduce better in our current habitat. Provide at least one reason as to why you chose that adaptation in your response. 

• Speculate one adaptation that humans might have in the future and the reason for it.
• Population distribution can be random, uniform, or clustered. In your own words, describe one characteristic that helps define the distribution pattern of the human population in the United States. Next, decide whether or not you believe this pattern is optimum, from an environmental perspective; then, suggest two ways that we could change our population distribution to make it even less environmentally damaging.
  • Debate if population distribution or human intervention has the most impact on the environment. Support your answer with at least one quality resource.
  • Respond to at least one of your classmates. Do you agree or disagree? Support your position with at least one quality resource.

Write a reaction paper, 6-8 pages in length, which address the following questions generated from the Frontline video “The New Asylums:”

 

1. Why do you believe the United States has an inflated number of mentally ill offenders in the prison system?
2. What reforms are needed to in order to provide mentally ill offenders with adequate mental health treatment?
3. There are differing theories (rehabilitative vs. punitive) of how offenders should be treated in prison and what services they should be provided. What types of services/interventions do you believe are needed in our current penal system?
4. What types of aftercare programs are needed for mentally ill offenders who are released from prison? Are there changes that need to be made to the parole system in order to prevent these individuals from re-offending?
5. How could the showing of this video be used to train future counselors and psychologists? How might the video be useful for policy writers?
