Women’s access to healthcare: what is preventing women from receiving necessary care

/in /by

Writing a contribution paper on the factors preventing women from receiving proper healthcare, such as access, specifically distance to clinics and cost; and a woman’s communities perception of healthcare, specifically women’s representation in government, and a woman’s place in her household and community. How women are not receiving proper prenatal and antenatal care and necessary tests and why. And what is being done and still needs to change in order to give women proper care.

Assignment outline: Purpose:

The Contribution Paper is a formal academic argument that contributes something to the conversation in which you have developed expertise over the semester. This paper will include a shortened version of the literature review that you have already written. You’ll use a review of the literature as a way of situating your argument in the conversation and showing your reader that you understand the conversation that is going on and that you have something to add to it. All of the claims you make must be grounded in good evidence, which will come from the sources that you have been working with for the last few weeks.

Remember that your goal is to simply add something valuable to the conversation. You do not need to solve the problem. Lots of really smart people have been talking and writing about your issue, so you don’t have to discover an answer or solution that they haven’t. But you may have discovered a new way to think about one part of the problem, and that is worth writing about.

Audience: Because you are joining a conversation with this paper, your primary audience is made up of those also interested in the same topic or body of research: the authors and readings you have cited, and your collaboration group. You’ll review the conversation for this audience in order to situate your own paper–to show how your paper contributes to the conversation. This academic audience expects a paper that uses the conventions of academic writing: claims supported by good evidence, formal tone, logical connections between ideas, paragraphs structured around topics that move the reader smoothly and logically through the paper, a thesis in the first section of the paper, in-text parenthetical citations, works cited, titles and headings, etc.

Paper Structure: The paper should follow the structure of those that you have been reading for the course, either as a part of the readings about higher education or those about your research topic.

1. It should begin with an overview of the topic in which you:

  • identify the general themes and arguments of the conversation,
  • identify major voices in the conversation,
  • describe the important camps or ways of discussing the topic, and
  • provide definitions for key terms.

The overview should help you situate your argument, your contribution. That means that you may not talk about every camp, or every theme. Instead, you’ll focus on those that are the closest to your argument. These may be the camps, themes, or arguments that you are building on, either by agreeing or disagreeing with the positions. You’ll also want to include those sources that provide evidence for your argument. Your thesis sentence will stem from this overview.

2. The body of the paper will be made up of your argument (contribution), organized logically so that, using the same evidence, the audience will come to the same conclusions as you. The body will be structured with sub-claims, supported by evidence, that provide support for the thesis. You may consider having multiple sub-sections in the body that will explicitly structure the progression of ideas and evidence for the reader. You must use standard in-text citations to identify the sources you are using. See OWL Purdue for help with MLA and APA formatting.

3. The conclusion of the paper needs to draw conclusions about the topic that were established in the introduction. It could also extend more broadly to implications of the research, new directions for the conversation to move in, impact to the general public, and the like.

4. Your paper must have a works cited or reference page

Format: The paper needs to be:

  • 8-10 pages long, not including the works cited or reference page
  • double-spaced,
  • word-processed,
  • using a standard font (no courier), and
  • standard margins.

GRADING

I will consider the following when grading your paper

  1. Reasoning and Evidence: Does the writer identify a conversation, make a claim that contributes to that conversation, and support that claim through clear reasoning and credible evidence?
  2. Rhetorical Considerations: Does the writer demonstrate awareness of the audience he/she is writing to? Are his/her rhetorical choices effective for that audience?
  3. Style: Is the writing cohesive and well organized? Does the writer use a variety of sentence structures effectively?
  4. Mechanics: Is the paper largely free of mechanical errors (spelling, grammar, punctuation)?

For your final project you will be an I/O Consultant preparing to advise the manager or CEO about an issue directly relating to their organization.

You will be researching a specific topic related to I/O Psychology that would be useful and informative to a manager or CEO of a company. You will synthesize your findings from the research literature and present them as if you were advising that manager or CEO on that issue.

First you will find at least four journal articles on your chosen topic and write an annotated bibliography summarizing each article (please see Doc Sharing for directions on writing an annotated bibliography). Finally you will then synthesize your findings in a 3 to 4 page summary paper of what you found, the pros and cons found in the research, and your recommendation to the manager or CEO concerning this issue in their organization.

For example, you could select several articles on workplace violence and write an annotated bibliography of each summarizing their main points in non-research language, including agreements and disagreements on particular findings. Next the summary paper should explain why this particular topic is important to the workplace and how the organization¿s leaders and employees can use the information. Additionally you will make suggestions for this organization based on your research findings. The paper should be presented in a professional way, nicely formatted, free of spelling and grammatical errors, and presented in a clear and structured way.

Annotated Bibliography:

This bibliography should include the four research articles you will use for your paper.

For each article, you need to provide:

  • The long reference in APA style with hanging indents.
  • A brief (no more than 1 page) summary of each article indented block following the long reference.

The summary should include:

  • The basic premise and research question of the study
  • Results
  • Conclusions
  • Relevance of the article to your presentation topic
  • How you will use it in your presentation (e.g., recommendations)
  • What problem in I/O psychology or management it addresses

Presentation with Recommendations (Summary Paper):

Your paper should be geared at professionals who know something about management and organizations, but do not have in-depth knowledge of research. It should be much more than a summary of your articles (as you did that in the annotated bibliography). Rather, it presents the problem and solutions. Remember, I/O psychology is psychology principles and research applied to the workplace to understand and enhance human motivation and performance.

You could pretend you are the personnel director of a company and are presenting to a group of managers. Your summary paper should convey the information gained from the research literature in an organized way and should make an argument for your position on this topic and why it is important for managers to learn this information. Before writing your conclusion, make some recommendations for action.

APA Style: All submissions must be written in APA format. Basically this means that the references must be written in APA style, all assignments written in 11 or 12 point font, double spaced, with 1-inch margins.

Due Dates:

  • Topic: Sunday Week Two
  • Annotated Bibliography and Summary Paper: Sunday Week Four

Delivery Methods:

  • Your topics should be posted in the discussion forum titled Project Topic under Week 2 .
  • Your Annotated Bibliography and Summary Paper should be uploaded into the Final Project link in Week Three.
    Final Project Maximum Points
    Annotated Bibliography ¿ provided at least 4 articles with substantial summaries. 40
    Summary/Reaction Paper – minimum of 3 complete pages 50

Topic: How does Edgar Allen Poe use imagery to further the plot in The Fall of the House of Usher or The Cask of Amontillado? Be sure to consider exposition, complication (rising action), falling action (denouement), and resolution (hamartia).

Original Thesis (From Week 1 Assignment): Whereas the imagery in the “Fall of the House of Usher” can depict many possible meanings to the reader, the imagery of horror, madness, and death is what drives the plot in the setting and characters it depicts. In Edgar Allan Poe’s work does indeed help move the plot, given that Edgar Allan Poe’s use of imagery from the exposition, complication, falling action, and resolution is a most important in the setting to the plots in his work
