Poverty and discrimination are linked as one often leads to the other and vice versa. The poor are a target for discrimination due to their circumstances, while discrimination due to ethnicity, race, or gender reduces the number of economic opportunities an individual might get. In this module, you explore the segments of the population that are more likely to be poor. You also examine the reasons for the poverty of these segments and its implications for social policy development.
Research the link between poverty and discrimination using your textbook, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet.

  • Select two journal articles that address the linkage between poverty and discrimination reflected in the conditions of racial and ethnic minority populations.
    • Be sure to select one article that addresses poverty and discrimination in the United States and one in any other country.
    • Make sure the articles include examples of social policies that have attempted to address these issues.

Respond to the following:

  • How is the linkage between poverty and discrimination reflected in the conditions of racial and ethnic minority populations?
  • Identify two examples of social policies that have attempted to address these issues and discuss their effectiveness.
  • Support your positions with material from your library research.

Write your initial response in a minimum of 200–300 words. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.

ntroduction:Â Include a title slide. Next, include an introductory slide where you introduce yourself and explain what you are about to present.
Part I: The U.S. Healthcare System – Define the U.S. healthcare system by addressing the items below:
Describe the history of the U.S. health care system. Include at least three of the revolutionary factors (e.g., teacher’s union in Dallas, Texas; the American Medical Association; Civil War, and the First Marine Hospital, etc.). Chapter two in our textbook discusses the evolution of our system and is a good resource for this part of your presentation.
Identify at least one major development from each of the following: financial, legal, ethical, regulatory, and social [i.e., consumer demand]) that transformed the system into what it is today. You may want to revisit the health care timelines available in your course textbook. Â
Differentiate the stakeholders and their roles (i.e., health care professionals, clients [patients], government, colleges, and health care agencies.
Include the positive and negative contributions of how they affect our health care system.
Part II: The Cost of the U.S. Healthcare System
Describe the costs and how they are set (i.e., reimbursement methods, managed care organizations, Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance).
Explain how technology has affected costs (e.g., EHR, medical research, equipment improvements like MRI, mammography, etc.) and delivery of quality care (e.g., personalized medicine, mobile services like ePrescribing, disease registries, etc.).
Part III: The United States Versus Other Health Care Systems—an International Perspective
Contrast the U.S. health care system with at least one other (e.g., Canada’s universal health care vs. U.S. healthcare or South Africa vs. U.S. health care, etc.).
Include at least one positive aspect from the other country’s health care system that you would like to see added to the U.S. healthcare system. Explain why you would like to see this in our system.
Part IV: Reforms and Improvements
Describe any potential reforms and improvements that are currently being discussed at either the local, state, or federal level. Your work must be based upon scholarly research, not media commentary.
Examples could include the following:
Federal modifications (i.e., Medicare reform, repealing PPACA, universal type system, etc.)
State modifications(i.e., Medicaid reform, income tax credits, etc.)
Increased consumer controls
Note: The PPACA is not an appropriate reform or improvement to be described here because it is already law and not a future improvement. However, if there is a proposal to amend or eliminate, then you can include that potential reform.
Conclusion:Â Future of the U.S. healthcare system
Explain what you believe the U.S. healthcare system will look like in the next 10 years. Give at least two recommendations for change.
Address access to care, quality of care, and cost of care including an example of each in your vision of our future healthcare system.
Creating the Final Presentation
The Final Presentation must:
Be 15 to 20 slides, which includes Part 1, (excludes the title slide and reference slides) and formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.
Be presented using Microsoft PowerPoint slide presentation. You have a choice of one of the following options for adding the narrative to your presentation. Option 1 is using voice or Option 2 is adding speaker notes to each slide.
Option 1: Recording your voice on each slide. You can view the tutorial using this link: adding and recording voice (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. to each slide.You can also click on the following links to view the Accessibility Statement (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. and Privacy Policy (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.. If you choose this option, you must include your APA formatted citation in the speaker note section of the PPT as well.
Note: if you use the voice option, make sure your recordings are clear and concise. It is also important to know that adding voice narrations that are too lengthy and adding graphics may cause your PPT file to be very large (megabytes). You may have trouble loading it to Waypoint. Revisions may be necessary if this occurs.
Option 2: Using speaker notes for each slide in the PPT. You can review the tutorial using this link: adding speaker notes (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. to your presentation. You can also click on the following links to view the Accessibility Statement (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. , and the Privacy Policy (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site..Â
Speaker notes are the typed notes that appear below the slide that complement the presentation slides. Whereas the slides will have short bulleted items, the speaker notes will be more detailed. They are essentially what the presenter would say during the presentation to explain each of the bulleted points on the slide. Therefore, it is important that the speaker notes are concise and detailed when explaining the bullet points.

It is recommended that PowerPoint Slides contain no more than five bullet points and should not contain more than 5 – 7 words each. Do not type paragraphs or long sentences on the slide. The information that explains each bullet point is conveyed via speaker notes or by recording your voice to each slide.
It is required that the Microsoft PowerPoint presentation include the use of a voice or speaker notes. If you choose to use the voice capabilities within PowerPoint, you must include your citations in the speaker notes for each slide.
Be visually engaging.

OVERVIEW AND GOALS
You will write an academic essay that attempts to answer your self-defined research question about your chosen (and approved) topic. The answer to your question will come in the form of a sophisticated thesis that presents a well-balanced, evidence-based perspective. This essay should not be a report or regurgitation of the sources you find in your research; instead, it should forward an original argument or idea—even if it’s only a slight departure from your sources already say.
OBJECTIVES
Demonstrate your ability to analyze and use information from sources;
Demonstrate your ability to make a sophisticated academic argument that accounts for multiple perspectives; Demonstrate your ability to craft a text that is accessible, engaging, and appropriate for a particular audience; Demonstrate that you can locate secondary source materials from library databases and other information
repositories (not just Google!)
Understand and represent key arguments and ideas from secondary source materials Evaluate secondary source materials for relevance, authority, and currency.
REQUIREMENTS

  • Length: This essay will require more sustained attention to sources and to reasoning, so it should be no less than 8-10 pages.
  • Sources: You will need to reference several sources for this essay; however, the quality of your sources matters more than the quantity.

o  Typically, for an essay of this length, you should expect to have at least 4 scholarly (peer-reviewed)
secondary sources
o At least 2 primary sources (anything that provides you with raw, un-analyzed data that you can use to draw conclusions about some aspect of your research question.)

  • Counterargument or Qualifying Argument: At some point in your essay, you must acknowledge and address an idea from an outside source that runs—even if only partially—against your thesis statement. Remember that not all counterarguments need to directly disagree with your thesis; it might be that the counterargument helps you to qualify exactly where/when your thesis might be valid, and where/when it would not be.
  • Audience: For this final essay, imagine that you are writing for a broader public audience. Your readers are not people who took this class with you, but neither are they readers who would appreciate having their intelligence insulted. Imagine your essay is published in a “serious” popular periodical from which a casual reader would expect to learn something new. How will you orient them to your essay’s goals? How will you share what you know from your references without confusing them or boring them? What are some common ways a reader might doubt your argument, and how can you address that doubt?
  • Document formatting:
  • 12-point, Times New Roman font, 1-inch margins. o Double-space the entire documen

o  Please number your pages on the top right corner of each page.
o  Use MLA citation style with precision. Be careful with in-text citations, and please include page numbers
even when you are paraphrasing from sources.
o  Please put your full name at the top left corner of the first page of the essay; underneath that, put the
course name, then date, then “Research essay”
o Your essay should have an original title centered below your name/date, etc. Remember this is in plain font, no bolding, underlining or quotation marks.
