Interpret positive emotions, culture, and diversity

/in /by

Multigenerational communities are being built all around the United States. Even Jimmy Buffett has created one in Florida. With such a hectic life, many people yearn for a return to a simpler way of living, where there is very little mental stress and health and well-being are promoted through community gardens, art, cultural activities, and physical health. For an example, review the information on Serenbe, a multigenerational community near Atlanta, Georgia, located in this week’s resources.

After reviewing this week’s resources, conduct further research on other multigenerational communities that promote positive emotions, diversity, a sense of community, inclusion and thriving. How do they attract LGBTQ families or minorities? What kind of activities, resources, worship centers, etc. would be attractive? Be sure to conduct additional research for scholarly articles in the library as well. These articles could be related to these types of communities or how diversity is celebrated in any structure, organized community.

Develop an annotated bibliography with your research results. Incorporate at least 10 peer-reviewed studies from the last 5 years, unless they are historical or seminal. After each annotation, indicate how the study might inform the proposal for your Signature Assignment.

Following your annotated bibliography, include a paragraph that details the primary role of the community and why that type of community appeals to you for the final project. Remember, for the Signature Assignment, you will draft a proposal for developers who build vibrant communities for multigenerational groups. Think about the type of vision you have for this community after reviewing the Serenbe Community and conducting your research for this assignment.

Length: Annotated Bibliography plus paragraph for the Signature Assignment, but not including title and reference pages

References: Include a minimum of 10 scholarly resources

Your assignment should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course by providing new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards where appropriate.

Unit I Case Study

/in /by

Unit I Case Study

Review the following two Side Bar scenarios in your textbook and choose one for the basis of your assignment:

Considering Malpractice (p. 7) or

EMT Response and Motor Vehicle Law (p. 13).

NOTE: You will continue to use this same scenario in Unit III and IV as the basis for a course project that

concludes in Unit VII.

For this assignment, pretend you are the aide for a defense attorney representing the EMS agency in the selected case. You

will need to analyze the scenario and prepare a brief for the attorney on your findings. (If you choose the second case, the

subject in the scenario should not be taken in the first-person context, but rather just as an EMT provider.)

Consider the scenario as if the organization you are representing were in your own state, and focus on the

relevance of your state’s laws to the scenario. You may consider locating a past similar case to help guide your briefing.

Your paper at a minimum should address the following questions:

Is this a case that would most likely be tried in a civil or criminal court? Why?

What are three questions that you feel must be answered by the personnel involved before you can begin to prepare a

defense?

Identify the difference in scope and responsibility of any federal, state, or local laws and regulations that would impact the

outcome of the case.

How would you demonstrate that the personnel involved were aware of these laws or regulations?

Your paper should be a minimum of three pages, not including the title and reference pages.

You must use a minimum of three sources, not including your textbook. These may include peer-reviewed articles,

professional organization websites, and government websites/documents. You should use sources that specifically speak

to the laws or regulations of your state.

All sources used must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations. All references

and citations used must be in APA style.

Sociological Imagination

/in /by

Watch the video Sam Richards: A radical experiment in empathy.

After watching the TED video and reading the section about the Sociological Imagination, take the viewpoint of an outside observer to examine your life.

First, pick one personal experience that was meaningful to you.

Second, pick a viewpoint different from your own. It can be another gender, race, nationality, or maybe someone from a different subculture. Finally, write about the three points listed below.

Write a 500 or more word paper discussing each assignment point listed below.

1.Describe the personal experience as an outsider might describe it. (hint: depending on what you choose and the perspective you choose, this may require a little research)

2.Describe how that experience was influenced by society structures (e.g. historical events, religion, or traditions)

3.Finally review the four main perspectives and theorists related to those perspectives. What theory most applies to the personal experience you described and why do you think this theory applies?

Your paper must include a title sheet and at least 2 outside references. You may use one reference from the internet but the 2nd reference must be from the Grantham University online library. Only the body of the paper will count in your word requirement.

To help you begin your first paper, I have given you an example of a personal experience, the structure that helped to shape this event, and the theory that I would apply to it. Although what is listed below is an outline, I would like you to write in paragraph form.

Example:

Personal experience: wedding

Viewpoint: perspective of a person from the subcontinent India

1.Description: Wedding itself was short, crowd was small, took place outside of hometown, and the bride wore white

2.Social Structure: institution of marriage, marriage laws, and religious traditions

3.What theory: functionalism

a.Why this theory: functionalism supports social structure that is functional for society and marriage is functional for families and households

Week 4 Discussions 3 hours

its not a paper nor does it need to be in paper format. It’s two questions per week. The word count cannot be no more than 250 per question. It’s a total of 6 questions that’s it a maximum  total of 1500 words approx. I do not want a paper for each. I just want answers to the questions that’s all..

Discussion 1:

Analyze and comment on economic analyses of health administrative innovations that are germane to the provision of health services. How have these innovations become more important in health care delivery within the context of the Affordable Care Act? Develop a list of similarities and differences between cost benefit analysis and cost effectiveness analysis as they pertain to specific health care service demands. Compare and contrast economic challenges and incentives as they relate specifically to cost benefit and cost effectiveness analyses.

Discussion 2:

 Analyze the role of the paradigm shift under the Affordable Care Act and discuss how transparency will play a greater role in pricing of health care. In your opinion, will consumers begin to demand increasing transparency in pricing? Provide at least one peer-reviewed reference outside of your textbook to support your position. Do you believe accrediting commissions (e.g., the Joint Commission) will demand greater transparency in pricing?  How will these demands be weighted as compared to individual consumers’ demands? Again, be sure to cite research that supports your statements.

MUST INCLUDE IN-TEXT CITATION AND REFERENCE LIST

Week 5 Discussions

Discussion 1:

To begin you initial post, research one of the health profession licensing agencies in your state. Analyze and comment on the role this professional licensing group plays in the creation of policy within the profession as well as the impact those policies potentially have on the economics of health services. Then, specifically look at the composition of the licensing agency’s board of directors. Describe the present composition of the board membership. Evaluate the social-cultural issues that might influence health economics in your state based on the diversity of the board in question. Is the present composition a fair representation of the community the board is supposed to serve? What, if any, consumer representation exists on the board? Compare and contrast economic challenges and incentives among health care’s organizational models such as the licensing agency you have selected.

Discussion2:

 Imagine that you own a pharmacy in your area. One of your competitors launches a “We will not be undersold” campaign, which promises consumers 150 % of any difference between its prices and the advertised prices of other pharmacies. Evaluate the social issues in your community as well as the economic culture that is influencing this type of pricing competition. Develop and describe a microeconomic model that is responsive to the service demands of your market. Based on your conclusions, how would you react to this situation and with what business strategy would you approach this? How might you apply game theory to the creation of your strategy?

MUST INCLUDE IN-TEXT CITATION AND REFERENCE LIST

Week 6 Discussions

Discussion 1:

 Imagine that you run a nursing home facility in your area. Analyze and comment on the role public policy has in the economic aspect of running this type of health services center. Compare and contrast the economic challenges and incentives this type of health care model presents. What are some of the ways in which you could inform or signal potential consumers that your nursing home is of high quality? Evaluate the social-cultural issues that influence the consumers of this type of health service. Which of your proposed methods are most apt to be reliable signals that significantly communicate to consumers so they are able to make more informed decisions?

Discussion 2:

Opportunism in health care is especially perceptible in the health insurance markets. Consider the area in which you live, specifically your state and local communities. Evaluate the social-cultural issues that are influencing adverse selection in insurance markets. Propose some strategies for reducing adverse selection in health insurance within these markets. Develop a microeconomic model that is responsive to your local service demands. Communicate how these issues are relevant to the economics of the greater U.S. health care system. What are the future implications with the Affordable Care Act?
