This week’s two-part PROMPT on gender (in)equality is:

Part 1: This week we have covered material on gender inequalities. Now, you’ll explore and reflect on data on different variables associated with women, poverty, and (un)equal pay: gender, state, and race/ethnicity. To do this, visit the following webpages:

https://nwlc.org/resources/women-and-poverty-state-state/  Click directly on the map to view data on different states. Collect data on women and poverty in California as compared with one other state of your choice.

https://nwlc.org/resources/wage-gap-state-state/  Click directly on the map to view data on different states. Simultaneously, use the dropdown menu to view data on different racial/ethnic groups. Collect data on how women of different racial groups are paid in California as compared with the same other state of your choice that you used for the other webpage above.

In your journal, very briefly summarize the information that you collect. Next, and more importantly, reflect on that information. What is notable about these data? How do these data link up together? How do these data link up with other data and/or materials that you have been processing in 157SL? Focus on interpreting these data and what they signify.

Part 2: Choose one of the following sources and examine the proposed steps/actions to close the gender wage gap:

From the one source (above) that you selected, choose one of their suggested steps/actions that resonates with you, and that you personally feel you could get behind. In your journal, state your chosen action and why it is appealing to you. Reflect on how you could potentially support and/or work towards achieving this step/action.

Describe the organization you selected and the general services that would be offered to Medicare patients. Describe the types of ACOs recognized by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.

Urban and rural health care organizations throughout the industry are working together to coordinate care for Medicare patients. Accountable Care Organization (ACO) programs were established by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to help facilitate this cooperation.

Select a type of health care organization that would accept Medicare patients (e.g., family practice, hospital, urgent care, or nursing home).

Write a 700- to 1,050-word executive summary that discusses the purpose of joining an ACO and the funding available through one. Ensure your summary does the following:

  • Describe the organization you selected and the general services that would be offered to Medicare patients.
  • Describe the types of ACOs recognized by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
  • Evaluate industry dynamics that would influence your organization’s decision to participate in an ACO.
  • Identify the steps needed to participate in an ACO.
  • Justify participation in an ACO for your organization.

Cite 3 reputable references to support your assignment (e.g., trade or industry publications, government or agency websites, scholarly works, or other sources of similar quality).

Format your assignment according to APA guidelines.

In the research project by Peggy Hutchinson it was, not  surprisingly, found that differently abled people have the same desire  for social interactions as the people around them; such as “intimacy,  affection, and companionship. Others, however, were more unique or  important to people with handicaps because of their vulnerability, such  as having less reliance on services and family, advocacy, and greater  chance of having a normal life” (Hutchison, 1990).

I think the ways that differently abled people are able to enjoy deep  and meaningful friendships are actually quite similar to those outside  the community. Being a high school teacher, I see friendships blossom  for both sides of this discussion in a lot of similar ways and it starts  with putting themselves out there, being social, meeting people but as  Sam, Adam, and Gemma discussed, there are times that just the act of  getting out there and being social can be short circuited by classmates  whom lack basic social skills and find a way to further isolate them,  not only from the bullies but from the other classmates too. In my  opinion, this is almost the worst kind of bullying because it involves a  child whom already had a sense of not belonging, not fitting in, and  being “different” in an atmosphere that doesn’t embrace diversity.  (Ward, 2010)

When you have a differently abled friend, the special considerations  that enable or prevent social interaction are different for each person,  for the friends of a wheelchair bound friend, you have to remember that  not everywhere has ramps or the accessibility features necessary for  them to be able to socialize, in the classroom there are barriers with  the layout and the mindset that the desk beside the differently abled  student was to be left for the EA, even if the EA was not with the  student, this caused the other students to potentially exclude that  student because there is a perceived “bubble” around them that you would  not be able to occupy. Some classroom layouts were designed many years  ago and do not allow the student in a wheelchair to move freely about  the classroom. (Ward, 2010) In the film A boy and his dog, Orin is able  to overcome some of the isolation from kids and adults with his service  animal because it gave them something to break the ice and get to know  more about Orin and break down some of the social barriers. I feel like  this would be something that could help more differently abled students.  (McIver, 2014)

Once you have built an agenda for your policy,  developed a policy proposal plan, and strategically analyzed the  composition of the audience to which you will present your policy  proposal, you must now be prepared to defend it.

In  this Assignment, you will submit a video presentation summary of the  policy proposal you created from last week’s Discussion. This is a  simulation for a presentation summary you would make to policy leaders.

 

Make sure that your summary presentation  provides a solid rationale  for the passage of your policy, using  reputable sources from experts in  the field. This should be a simulation  of a summary presentation you  would make to “real-world” policy  leaders, so make sure you are  succinct and informative. You can include  any visual aids that you  think help your presentation.
