The Department supports more than 300 programs nationwide. There are others programs that HHS gives to society to help them. One of these programs is the support of collection of health data and tries to give the best as possible an equitable treatment in health care and human service to everyone. The costs to run an perfect and effective health treatment services to every one are very high, where the agency is responsible for almost a quarter of all federal outlays and administers more grant dollars than all other federal agencies combined. According to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services summary report the goals for the agency would be those bellow: * Strengthen health care according to the summary report would be to improve healthcare quality and patient safety in all the facilities, also look to make coverage more secure for those who have insurance, and give a better way to afford coverage to those that are uninsured, I can not forget about the most important thing in any medical treatment, that is to give patient safety and improve as best. * Advance scientific knowledge and innovation according to the summary report would be to accelerate the process of scientific discovery to improve patient care, and helps to increase our...

...who is habitually cruel to smaller or weaker people (The American Heritage Dictionary 2007). An aggressive person who intimidates or mistreats weaker people, (Encarta dictionary, 2012). Bullying: The process of intimidating or mistreating somebody weaker or in a more vulnerable situation (Encarta dictionary, 2012). Bullying for this paper: Any act of harassment, intimidation, whether physical, verbal or telecommunicated (cyber/text) that makes a person feel demeaned, belittled, fearful, or endangered. Since doing this research I find that each article defines bullying in a different way. I believe that we need to have a definitive explanation of what we consider bullying on the whole. Although every definition centers on the idea that someone is being mistreated in some way by another person. Why is it surprising that we have children lashing out to the children that have bullied them today when this is what Americans have done since this country began? The Europeans came to this country and started to take over the land. The Native Americans very rarely killed one another, they simply counted coup. As the Europeans continued to move away from the east coast they decided that the way the Native Americans were living was barbaric and they needed to be civilized and Christianized. When the Native Americans refused to conform, the Europeans decided to force that change with tactics that taught the Native Americans to fight back. Sound familiar. People who lived in harmony...

...Arts – Religion Turabian Format Philippians 4:19 reads “but my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus”. Twenty different translations of this text and not once does it mention God supplying wants. Yet, advertisements teach the youth of America today that they should have all of their wants, not just needs. Advertising agencies, through massive and expensive efforts, have infused the idea of ultra-consumerism into the lives of American youth as evidenced by the priorities and ideals exemplified by children at young ages and as adults. Companies have recognized the deep influence of advertising on young Americans as evidenced by their massive amounts of money and effort spent on targeting children. It is not hard to imagine that companies would see children as a true market for their products. In fact, children under eighteen years old being considered consumers is a widely accepted viewpoint. Even as far back as 1958, an American youth, a teenager in particular, was being referred to as a “merchandising frontier.” In 1998, advertising agencies spent $2 billion specifically towards children in order to promote their products. This formidable amount of funding translates to a significant amount of influential ad time. The astounding 40,000 commercials a child views in a year make up approximately 16% of a child’s television viewing time. These numbers do not even include shows, such as My Little Pony, which is based on a specific toy....

...Abstract The following summary is written to report and explain the results of the Bias Test. This test was taken in order to complete assignment instructions for the course General Psychology PSYC1003. Bias Summary The biases do not represent how I perceive myself because in terms of the Gender-Career IAT that I do not think that male should be with the family. The way in which I have been brought up is that male is to go out into the working world and earn an income in which he can support his family while the female can contribute to the income if she chooses to do so. Whether this I right I do not know but this is my experience in my household while being brought up. I believe things are changing in today’s current society where there is more equality in the world but I don’t believe this bias test is correct with these results. The biases in the African America- European American IAT do not represent how I perceive myself because the tests show that I have a strong preference for European Americans rather than African Americans. I can’t see how I would have this opinion when I come from a mixed background. Brought up with one side of my family being mainly European and one side being mainly African with mixed parents I cannot understand as to how the bias test suggests that I have preference towards one or the other. The only thing that I think could affect my bias is that I was in a bit more contact with the European side of my family as a young child from about...

...World is Flat: A Brief History of the Twenty-First Century, advises that every young American worker should begin to assume that they are competing against every young Chinese, Indian, and Brazilian for a job. For years, people worked where their parents worked, or wherever major corporations, government bureaucracies, or unions were available to them. Factors such as the advancement in technology, the idea of globalization becoming more relevant, today’s aging workforce, and postsecondary education becoming mandatory for any type of sustainable job will shape our country’s future workforce. Fifty years ago, no one could predict the technology we have today. Now, due to the speed of our technological change, we can foresee machines continuing to substitute human labor. This supports the idea that America’s future workforce will rely more on education than manual skill. The best jobs will be found at the hands of America’s brains. If not, the jobs will seek others who can fulfill the tasks. With that said, these jobs will replace the employees in charge of making these “sophisticated products” with machines that can do the same thing. This eliminates the manufacturing jobs, and replaces them with the development and marketing of such products(Judy and D’Amico 313). Adding to what the authors of “Work and Workers of the Twenty-First Century” said, the author of “The Unknown” talks about how American workers can benefit from the advancing technology. Because these machines and workers...

...Discussion Questions #1 Health insurance has become an ongoing issue in America, in regards to accessibility, quality, and cost for Americans. Since the Affordable Care Act (ACA) was passed in 2010 some of the issues have been alleviated. For example, a decrease in the amount of uninsured Americans. The percentage of uninsured Americans has fallen from 16% to 11%, concluding that the 10 million Americans who had no insurance prior to 2013 are now insured. A primary goal of the ACA was to reduce drastically the number of uninsured. To achieve this goal the act allows children to stay under their parents’ insurance plan until age 26, requires employers of 50 or more employees, as well as uninsured Americans to receive coverage or risk paying a penalty, and most importantly make health insurance more affordable for Americans. Having active roles as the payer, regulator, and healthcare provider I believe that government has always played a significant role in the funding of the uninsured, but with no control of prices and quality of goods, market forces should continue to steer this dimension of healthcare. Each of the three levels of government owns and operates large numbers of healthcare institutions. (Jonas & Kovners, 2011). Providing funds for the uninsured falls under the job responsibility of the local government which they own and operate acute care hospitals and public health clinics. Medical treatment for the uninsured is often more expensive than for the insured, because...

...Racial Profiling Angelique Rosales Senior Capstone in Criminal Justice (CRJS499 -1502B -01) Unit 1 Individual Project American InterContinental University 6/16/2015 Abstract The topics covered for research Racial Profiling, explain what it is, why it occurs, how data can be collected. Resources that are provided cover many different questions that can be asked about racial profiling as well as my ethical standards towards providing what I have prepared to share. Thesis What is Racial Profiling? Racial profiling occurs when law enforcement targets someone for investigation on the basis of that person’s race, national origin, or ethnicity. It has been a very heated issue for the past few years now. Race and location are very dominant characteristics that authorities look at when engaging in this type of profiling. There is so much news of how certain races are being abused or how authorities are stepping out of boundaries with their actions towards certain races. Why does racial profiling occur? There are statistics that demonstrate that minorities are disproportionately targeted by police are plentiful. Some of which have even complied by police departments themselves. So even though there are many who are aware it is happening, and happening all over the country, there is very little effort to curb the practice. Racial profiling occurs mostly because people are close minded and judgmental on someone’s ethical background or race. Since one does not come from...

...lawfully present in the United States from being eligible for postsecondary education benefits that are not available to all citizens and nationals of the United States. Bill S.60 was first proposed by David Sen Vitter in Louisiana. The bill would prevent illegal immigrants from being able to go to an American college with financial aid. The people that are affected are children that didn’t ask to be born in a country and never receive proper verification. It’s meant to keep immigrants out by limiting our notion of the land of opportunity. It may affect the government by initially saving money because they wouldn’t need it for extra funding. Lowers the job market competition. Many Americans argue that since the parents of illegal aliens don’t pay taxes, their children do not deserve the equal opportunity of higher education and financial aid. They also believe that illegal immigrants are lazy and taking advantage of America’s “generosity”. Many also believe illegal immigrants are criminals and that giving a criminal ‘free money’ is foolish and unethical. What’s unethical is denying children born in the United States a chance to even become someone able to pay the dues of being an American citizen. Getting a necessary higher education is a pathway to citizenship. America was built by immigrants, we are the land of opportunity, let’s not forget where we all came from.

...The Interplay of Diversity Training and Diversity Beliefs on Team Creativity in Nationality Diverse Teams by Astrid C. Homan, Claudia Buengeler, Robert A. Eckhoff, Wendy P. van Ginkel and Sven C. Voelpel. The journal puts forth the following research question; Does diversity training increase team creativity reflecting in better team cohesion and effectiveness but only for teams with less positive beliefs of diversity. The method in which the research is conducted is through a qualitative study whereas diversity beliefs questionnaires (online) were completed by 192 participants of 41 different nationalities. All of the participants were undergraduate students who were enrolled in an international university located in Germany. One of the gaps in the study was that the study failed to understand the long term effects of diversity training along with addressing the effects of it on individuals who have not been previously exposed to diverse conditions or diverse individuals. Additionally, the diversity training was only conducted for persons within an academic setting and may suggest that people outside of academia would respond much differently to diversity training. The findings of the research suggest and support the idea that a lack of diversity in organizations may be a liability and that providing diversity training to teams and organizations with a little or no diversity can achieve positive results but at the same time, may result in a reduction of creative performance...

... Summary of Chapter two In the beginning of chapter two, the author imminently to convey that America is “land without limits”. It is main themes of America--freedom, as the policeman said to the Russian in the part of movie we watched in class, “Here is America, he can do anything he want.” The freedom not only exists in human rights, but also exists in human willings, such as moving into place that people would like to live, choosing jobs that people would like to enjoy, and so on. Then, the author put emphasis on Americans’ personalities in workplace. First one, nothing is impossible. Americans think they can do anything. Afterwards, the author mentioned the second personality of Americans in the workplace, just a matter of effort. In my opinion, the second one is the base of the first one; in other words, Americans believe in themselves, failure is from a lack of effort. They can do anything by hard working. For instance, professor Ross mentioned an example of “nothing is impossible”--in several years ago, Boston Celtics won the champion in NBA, when they were celebrating, KG yelled, “ Nothing is impossible! Nothing is impossible.” It expressed that they trained hardly, and tried their best to win every single game. By the way, I think it was a kind of advertisement, because “Nothing is impossible” is slogan of Adidas, and Adidas was sponsor of KG. Next, the author said that Americans are driven people. Americans very much admire what they...

...one of the greatest American Hero’s. Thomas Jefferson’s writings on basic human rights caused a radical shift in American Colonist thoughts and these stunning ideas would influence the Americans to break away from Great Britain. “As a boy, Thomas Jefferson’s was shy and often tongue-tied…Preferred the company of books to that of most people.” (Wilmore, 1) These were words to describe the young Jefferson; his childhood would prove to be a key in shaping the man, who through his words would change a nation. Jefferson was born on April 13th 1743, in Shadwell Virginia. During his childhood he would spend 15 hours each day reading and writing, this would prove to make his writing skills at a high level (1). As he grew into an adult he would study law in his home of Virginia at the William and Mary College at Williamsburg (Bottorff, 15). During this time he would become a member of the Whig party and would advocate for the rights and liberties of mankind (Peterson, 1). It was in his childhood and as turned into an adult which he learned how to write and how to express his political views through words. “For Thomas Jefferson, the pen truly was mightier than the sword. From his pen flowed some of the worlds most famous and influential words.” (Wilmore, 1) Truer words could not have been spoken about Jefferson’s because it was through his words which advanced his causes for the liberty of mankind in an age when man’s freedoms were repressed by others. A Summary view of the rights of...
