On the basis of your observations, create a 1- to 2-page report. Include References

Your report should address the following questions:

• After going through the statistics:
  • What information or statistic you find either surprising or reasonable?
  • Do you anticipate the statistics will be similar in ten years? Why or why not?
• The current structure of healthcare coverage in the United States has a combination of employer-based coverage and public program (e.g., Medicare, Medicaid) coverage, with a large uninsured population. If a single-payer system is implemented where Medicare is expanded to cover all citizens for those who prefer private insurance, there will be comparable coverage under the same range of private insurance plans already available. Keeping in mind these considerations, answer the following questions:
  • What do you think about allowing some people to purchase additional insurance, thereby creating a two-tier health system based on affordability?
  • What are the advantages and disadvantages of this initiative?
• Considering the fact that healthcare is not a guaranteed right for everyone in the United States, there are different kinds of barriers and obstacles in obtaining healthcare. In contrast to this fact, the notions of equity and fairness are considered very important. You will notice that these notions aren’t considered when we discuss people’s access to other goods, such as cars and computers.
  • What are these barriers? Give examples of the different barriers to health care under the following headings:
    • Financial barriers
    • Scarcity of healthcare providers
    • Barriers to access healthcare
    • Cultural barriers
    • Barriers of healthcare resources
  • How would you define the term, “equity and fairness”, in the context of the healthcare situations prevailing in the United States and Canada?
  • Why are they considered important when discussing people’s access to care?
• It is believed that government funded healthcare for all citizens is consistent with a capitalist economy and the cultural values of self-determination and free enterprise.
  • Do you agree with this statement? If not, what other approaches do you think will resolve the current inequities in the system?

In today’s criminal justice organization, diversity within the workforce is being pushed, because of the times that we live in. In most major cities in America, the population is becoming more diverse, and it is going to require a criminal justice organization to reflect its citizens (Jansen, 2015). You cannot have a police force of majority white males, like we did decades ago. Hiring more women and minorities to reflect the city’s population would be the best option, if you want to display a community oriented image to the public. Race and policing is a hot topic issue, because of the many incidents that has been playing out in the news and social media (Roberts, 2015).

When someone uploads a video in youtube of a police officer acting aggressive towards an individual it gets a lot of views. Without knowing all the facts, most will instantly view the police officer in a negative way (Roberts, 2015). On the other hand, whether we like it or not youtube videos have caught a lot of illegal acts by law enforcement officers and the criminal themselves. Many have been prosecuted based on video evidence that people put on social media. As social media becomes more prominent in our daily lives, it creates a whole new problem for our criminal justice system when balancing individual rights and public order in a multicultural society (Schmalleger, 2017).

In a multicultural society, the citizens will demand more from the criminal justice system that they do not fully trust (Roberts, 2015). It is going to make it more challenging for some departments to find that balance of satisfying the community’s need for diversity to reflect its citizens, and hiring the best qualified person for the job (Jansen, 2015). As more officers hit the retirement aged, I believe that we will start to see more diversity in the police departments. All criminal justice organization will have to adapt to modern hiring practices, and trust that it will solve some of the major issues plaguing our criminal justice system today.

In my opinion, implementing a Christian worldview approach to policing can greatly aid many police officers when dealing with the community. When you let God lead you through the ethical and moral dilemma that this type of job might present. You will never have to questions yourself if you made the right decisions, or feel guilty about your actions. As Christians we all submit to the Lord and understand that, as believers we answer to his authority alone. Being a Christian does not necessarily make you a better cop, but I feel that it gives you a better clarity in life. You are more grounded and will be consistent in your decision making on the job.
