Document Summary

In this module, we learned about the importance of service-learning and how it will bene t both the community as well as yourself. You will gain priceless experience that you can use later in life, as well as help out a community partner! It is hard to learn things out of a textbook sometimes so seeing things rst hand you can get a better grasp of it. We watched a few videos meant to get us ready for our service-learning experience. This course offers an experience like no other and i am very grateful to be able to have the chance to take part in it. Tedxknowville with alison lebovitz - changing the world: alison describes her trip and ight home when a woman had to give birth on the plane. Everyone came together to help the woman deliver her baby. A sense of community was created with all the passengers after helping this woman.

Comments on this, i need a paragrapgh on comments abaout this...

Abortion keeps being a controversy because both sides of the spectrum have valid points. The side that is prolife it right about abortion being the termination of an organism. Their believe system states that murdering human being is wrong and since an unborn child is still a human child, then by default this should be condemned as a wrong thing. They also say they are helping the woman themselves because abortion can have âthe risk of breast cancer in those who had experienced an induced abortion was 50% higher than among other womenâ however the same study states âthe results across all epidemiologic studies of this premise are inconsistentâboth overall and within specific subgroups. The risk of breast cancer should be re-examinedâ. This means we should not jump in to conclusion because more studies need to be done before accepting something as fact. The side for pro-choice states that a woman should have the choice to make her own decision no matter if it is a good or bad decision. A decision that will change her live completely and most of the time make it harder for a woman to get ahead in life.

I am pro-choice, not because I like terminating live, I am actually pro-live of any type of organisms not just humans, but because woman who phase this problem should have their reason or really are not prepare to have a baby in a modern society, and as Mack T Brown said âThe value of a self-represented future resides within the person herself, as a feature of a richly complex mental life". Both sides of the argument go to the extreme to explain their case pro-choice and give the example of a raped woman. Pro-live give the example of that a baby is always a good thing. Both acceptable, however most woman are not in this spectrums, an example that is more relevant is a woman who does not have the emotionally and or financial maturity to make the choice that is to have a child. Physically a girl is ready to have a child when her menstrual cycle begins that is usually around 13. Most people would agree that a girl of that age will not have any type of maturity to take care of even herself less a child. Letâs not go far letâs say a girl of eighteen years old getting out of high school, she may have a rare emotional maturity at that age to have the child but in todayâs society impossible without any help from family members to take care of that child. How many hours will she work? How will she take care of the child? How will she go to school to better herself for the future to come? These girls that are asking themselves if they should have an abortion is not because it is something they would like to do, it is a hard decision to postpone taking that live changing decision before they are ready to do it and not be a burden in society.

The current abortion law is strict, so abuse of the law will be very hard to do. In the third trimester a woman would need 2 signatures of two physicians to be able to do an abortion. I personally think that this is great this way we can assure that there is no negligence from any party. The part of the law I do not agree with is that the law says that if during the abortion the baby is born alive they need to offer emergency services. This defeats the purpose of an abortion that as harsh as it sounds it is to terminate the pregnancy cycle before time.

Week 6: You Decide Assignment

Professorâs Name:

Scenario

you sat in the CFO chair, studied a real world hospital AccountsReceivable (AR) problem with your team, and came up with a ProcessImprovement Plan to reduce Days in Accounts Receivable and improvecash flow to you hospital. Well the great news is that your planworked! This morning your Days in AR stand at 67. Not perfect....but much better, and you have five payrolls of cash on hand rightnow. Things are looking up for Community Memorial! And then justbefore lunch you get a call from the Bill Jacobs, Human ResourceDirector at Commercial Intertech (CI), the largest employer in thecommunity. Bill says, "I wanted you to hear it from me first. Wesigned a contract yesterday with MegaPlan Health. They will be themanaged care organization for all 4,500 of our employees and theirfamilies. About 9,000 patients total. I'm sure that you will wantto get a contract with MegaPlan as soon as possible. I noticed thatyour hospital is not on their Preferred Provider Network (PPN), andI am pretty sure that you will want to be, so that our employeescan continue using the facility." By the time you thank Bill forthe heads up, the acid is already churning in your stomach. In thehospital world, MegaPlan is known for cut-throat tactics,negotiating steep discounts with hospitals, and fighting everyclaim the hospital makes. Commercial Intertech has every right tocontract with any health insurance provider they like, but now youhave a problem. If you cannot get a decent contract with MegaPlanand become part of their Preferred Provider Network (PPN), manylocal patients may bypass your hospital and go the next closest PPNfacility. Delivered to your office this afternoon, by nocoincidence, is a contract proposal from MegaPlan. It calls for thehospital to provide a 35% discount from charges to MegaPlan and allof its members. And it includes service pre-authorizationrequirements which will make life very difficult for your businessoffice. You know from experience that the hospital loses moneywhenever the discount from charges exceeds 20%.

Economics is nothing more than the study of scarcity and choice. It's called the Economizing Problem.

Economics is also the study of human action---why people make the choices they do.

We have finite (limited) resources and infinite (unlimited) demand for goods and services. We must, therefore, use rational decisions as to how to allocate these resources so that we can produce the goods and services that satisfy as many needs and wants as possible.

Needs are those things that make life possible---food, clothing, shelter, etc. Wants are the things that make life easier---glass in windows, carpet on the floor, a refrigerator to keep your beer cold, etc.

The resources we are trying to use wisely are not confined to money. We are talking about talent, ability, drive, ambition, etc. We can't all be brain surgeons. Nor would most of us want to be. We have different needs and wants that drive our ambitions. I have 5 grandchildren. The oldest two are twins---a boy and a girl. My granddaughter graduated from Idaho University with a bachelor's and a master's degree in accounting in 5 years. She passed the CPA exam on the first try. She now lives in Panama and works for BMW. She speaks, reads, and writes 4 languages, including English. Her brother finally graduated from the University of Arkansas in May 2016 after 8 years! Why did it happen this way?? They were raised the same way by the same parents. Why was my granddaughter drove to succeed and my grandson so listless?

Then there is subjective valuation and opportunity cost. Opportunity cost is nothing more than what you have to give up to do something else. Some of you might have to roll out of the bar or the party a little before you wanted to leave just to be able to attend my class. You might also have to give up some precious sleep. In any event, you had to give up something to attend my class. That's the opportunity cost. Remember, everything you do has a price (opportunity cost) that must be paid according to Harry Browne who wrote, How I Found Freedom in an Unfree World.) To do one thing you must give up the opportunity to do something else.

When people decide to buy a product or service they must decide if it will satisfy a need or want at a price they are willing to pay. The number one reason that people buy the products or services they do is called Personal Tastes or Preferences (Subjective valuation). Everyone has a different price they are willing to pay for the same product or service. Something is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. That's a subjective valuation. Each of us has a different intensity of demand for the same products. Things you want I may not care for at all, and the opposite may also be true. This is why there is such a variety of goods and services offered on the market.

Subjective valuation is also fluid. As your income goes either up or down it changes your valuation of products and services. Have you ever wanted something so bad you would do almost anything to get it---an i phone or I pad?---but once you get the money you think, "do I really want this?' and you don't buy it. This is common. If it were not for a subjective valuation we would all be wearing the same style and color clothes and living in similar houses, etc. Wouldn't that be a wonderful world! I'd find the tallest building in downtown Orlando and see if I could fly! It is not the similarity in people that interests me. It's the differences. It's my desire not to be like everyone else that has driven my life. Don't strive to be someone else. Strive to find and be yourself. God save me from a terminal case of conventional wisdom!

There are 5 embedded questions.

Give me an example of subjective valuation.
