Many people in the United States and other developed countries that are either over-nourished or have the luxury of thinking about the quality of their food (taste, anti-oxidants, etc.) However, there are many people in the U.S. (and the town you are in now) that are hungry, concerned about being hungry (food insecure), or malnourished. What factors lead to the simultaneous occurrence of both of these groups of people?
Provide a response to describe the factors that might lead to both over-abundance and insecurity in a population of people. (Required)
Respond to a classmates post with why you agree or disagree with the factors they provided (Required).
respond to Sofia lucente:
The coexistence of over-abundance and food insecurity is mainly due to unequal access to resources. While there is enough food available, not everyone can afford or access healthy options. Nutritious foods are often more expensive and less available in some areas, while cheap, processed foods are widely accessible, leading to over-nourishment in some groups.
Income inequality, limited transportation, and time constraints also make it harder for some people to get healthy food, even when it exists. As a result, some people have too much low-quality food, while others do not have enough at all
The concept of the Tragedy of the Commons was recognized in the 1800s but it was introduced to the public discussion of environmental science by the evolutionary biologist Garrett Hardin in 1968. Your text book discusses the concept on pages 23-24. Below are a few other links.
A link to a TED Ed video: . This is short (4:38 minutes) and to the point.
A link to the explanation at the Khan Academy: is a little longer (6:38 minutes) but has some interesting explanations and discussion.
Finally, the original Hardin link: is longer but worth reading.
Your assignment is to identify, explain, and discuss an example of the Tragedy of the Commons specifically focused on the topics in agricultural production and activity. I know you can Google ‘tragedy of the commons examples’ and in a few minutes, have dozens of examples. Resist that temptation. The examples an internet search will find are relevant but also old and over-used. They also may give you the mistaken impression that the Tragedy of the Commons is something big and out there, not something that shows up in your everyday lives in ways large and small.
Download and complete the attached MS Word worksheet. When you have finished, upload the completed worksheet to this assignment’s dropbox.

Other people’s ideas are often better than your own. Find a group of people who challenge and inspire you, spend a lot of time with them, and it will change your life.
Amy Poehler, actress, comedian, and writer
Much of Amy Poehlers work, including her time on Saturday Night Live and Parks and Recreation, involved her closely collaborating with a team. Just like Amy, working with others who have different perspectives and talents can not only help you successfully meet your goals, it can also inspire you (and others) to work in new ways.
In this assessment, you will continue to strengthen your relationship-building skills as you explore how artists work together to change peoples perspectives and how you can use those same strategies to inspire change in your personal and professional life. Exploring these strategies will also help you hone your self- and social-awareness skills. Thats because, to work with teams effectively, you need to consider how others are feeling and how you can encourage them to do their best work. When your team members are doing their best, youll find that you do your best, too.
Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence win championships.
Michael Jordan, former professional basketball player
Its easier if I just do it myself. That thought has probably crossed your mind at some point in your life or career. It might happen when youre working alone on a challenging task, you feel like explaining your process or asking for help will only make more work for you. In some situations, it may truly be easier to go at it alone. But more often, there is a tremendous benefit to working with others, especially when those people have different perspectives from yours.
During this assessment, you will also strengthen your relationship-building skills by exploring how artists collaborate with others to grow their abilities and how you can also work constructively with other people to achieve great things in your personal and professional life. As you collaborate with friends, peers, and colleagues, you will continue to strengthen your self- and social-awareness skills by learning to grow from feedback.

Select an artifact that interests you and conduct a conversation about it with another person. Then, incorporate that dialogue to write about how artists collaborate and influence each other’s work.
You cant live through a day without making an impact on the world. And whats most important is to think about the impact of your actions on the world around you.
Jane Goodall, primatologist and anthropologist
Think for a moment and try to remember the last time that a piece of arta book, a movie, a song, a painting, or any other workmade you cry. Perhaps they were tears of joy. Or maybe you were sad because a certain lyric reminded you of a painful moment from your past, or because you could relate to a characters struggles. In any case, the art made an impact on your life, just as it was designed to do. Understanding the positive and negative impacts we can have on others through art and other artifacts is a critical part of working together successfully.
In this assessment, you will continue to strengthen your self- and social-awareness skills and relationship-building skills as you explore how the humanities can be used to impact others, why its important to reflect on that impact, and how understanding your impact can help you collaborate with your co-workers and peers.
What you see depends not only on what you look at but also on where you look from.
James Deacon, artist
Through this course, you have studied what it means to be human. And youve explored the unique ways people all over the world express themselves and their different perspectives through art, culture, music, religion, literature, and more. Along the way, youve also learned how important it is to broaden your own perspective, so you can think and act appropriately in different cultural environments and better collaborate and solve problems with peers, colleagues, and coworkers whose experiences and perspectives are different from your own.
In this assessment, youll look back at all youve learned so far and discover how these same concepts and skills will allow you to continue to broaden your perspective, collaborate with others, and solve problems as you encounter new cultures and ideas outside of the classroom.
Many of humanitys finest achievementssuch as the International Space Station, the Allied victories in the Second World War, and the founding of the United Nationswere made possible by people of different cultures coming together to pursue a shared goal. In fact, history shows us that when diverse groups collaborate, they are likely to achieve more than groups that are less diverse (Page, 2008). With this in mind, you’ll continue to strengthen your relationship-building skills by exploring how nations and cultures have collaborated throughout history. And youll consider how collaboration can help you to achieve success in your own workplace and community.

The calling of the humanities is to make us truly human in the best sense of the word.
J. Irwin Miller, Industrialist
What makes humans human? Part of the answer lies in the very different ways we express ourselves and our experiences (through art, architecture, music, religion, literature, and more). With over 7.6 billion people on planet Earth, understanding how those expressions connect and distinguish us from one another is a critical part of becoming better citizens of the world (U.S. Census Bureau, n.d.).
Just a few generations ago, the odds of people interacting from completely different backgrounds or communities were small. But in todays digital world, we have instant access to communities and cultures unlike our own. As we all come together to live, work, and share experiences, it is becoming even more important that we understand our perspectives and the perspectives of others so that we can all collaborate when facing complex issues.
In this course, youll explore how different cultures and groups demonstrate their unique perspectives on what it means to be human. As you do, youll discover how broadening your perspective will help you better collaborate with others and solve problems in todays global world. Overall, you’ll develop three skills that will help you adapt to a global world. They are:
Problem-solving: As you examine the art, literature, and music of other cultures, youll use critical thinking to frame problems, explain other peoples viewpoints, and create solutions informed by diverse and ethical perspectives.
Relationship building: While learning about cultures across different time periods, you will discover that even the earliest humans understood the importance of working with others.
Self-awareness and social awareness: Recognizing your thoughts, emotions, and intentions is a uniquely human trait, which is why it is fundamental to the study of humanities. By managing your responses to unfamiliar experiences and being open to new perspectives, you will better understand the people you encounter in your personal and professional life.
As you use these skills together, youll become better equipped to build collaborative relationships and solve diverse problems in a global workplace. Youll also gain the awareness you need to recognize how social and cultural differences may impact the ways you interact with others.
In this assessment, youll learn more about the benefits of studying humanities and discover how you can strengthen your problem-solving, relationship-building, and self- and social-awareness skills in this course and beyond.
If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.
Wayne Dyer, author, and motivational speaker
Tacos or lasagna. Sushi or curry. Pickles or kimchi. The foods we were exposed to as kidsby our families, communities, religions, and geographical locationsshape our preferences as adults. And its not just about food. Our backgrounds influence the perspectives we have on music, literature, television, art, and more. By acknowledging this influence, we become better able to consider how the perspectives of others with different cultural backgrounds might also differ from our own.
In this assessment, you will also strengthen your problem-solving and self- and social-awareness skills by exploring strategies that will help you examine artifacts from other cultures more objectively. Being able to recognize how perspectives affect the way we see the world will also help you better understand other points of view so you can tackle the challenges you face at home, work, and school and make the best decisions for your future.
Changing your perspectives will not only transform you but also the whole world.
Ji-Hae Park, violinist
Who was your favorite musician when you were a child? Are you still a fan of that artist today? You may still be an avid admirer, or you may cringe at the music you used to love. Either way, your perspective of that artist has probably changed over time. Your perspectives on music, art, culture, and more are constantly evolving as you grow, meet new people, have new experiences, travel, and learn more about the world around you.
Lastly, in this assessment, you will also continue to strengthen your problem-solving skills as you examine the personal and cultural experiences that influence the choices you make. Youll also hone your self- and social-awareness skills by learning how to manage your reactions to things that may initially surprise you. As you explore more about your perspectives and how they are influenced by your experiences, youll be better able to consider new perspectives, look at cultural artifacts objectively, and navigate through difficult issues at work or with friends.
Now get ready to explore other cultures, broaden your perspective, and discover what makes humans human.

PART 2
Interpret a work of art and describe the features of the art that give it meaning and expressive power. Consider how your own cultural biases and perspectives shape your reaction to and interpretation of this artwork.
Look at situations from all angles, and you will become more open.Dalai Lama, spiritual leaderHave you ever had a problem, such as a leaky faucet, an issue with a family member, or a school assignment, that you just couldnt solve? You might have tried and tried to come up with an answer, growing more frustrated as time went on. Perhaps, you then asked someone else for help, and they immediately came up with the perfect solution. Baffled, you may have thought to yourself, How did they do that? The answer is often that the other person simply looked at the problem differently. And many times, a different point of view is exactly what you need to find a solution.In this assessment, you will further develop your problem-solving skills by exploring how different people and cultures approach making decisions and resolving conflicts. By looking at a single problem from multiple perspectives, you will find more creative solutions to complex issues at home, school, and work. You will also continue to improve your self- and social-awareness skills as you explore how your perspective may be biased and how that bias affects the way you process information.Most of my important lessons about life have come from recognizing how others from a different culture view things.Edgar H. Schein, organizational psychologistIf youve ever wondered why people from different cultures think and do things differently than you, heres your chance to satisfy your curiosity about customs, traditions, religious beliefs, and more. While you work through this assessment, youll strengthen your problem-solving and self- and social-awareness skills by exploring cultural similarities and differences, which will allow you to understand where other people are coming from. Exploring and thinking critically about how friends, peers, colleagues, and even strangers from different backgrounds view the world can make you more empathetic and understanding. And applying this empathy and understanding will ultimately help you build the successful, collaborative relationships that are critical to your personal and professional success. Youll continue to cultivate your problem-solving skills as you compare and contrast cultures around the world and develop critical thinking strategies to understand the perspectives and behaviors of others. Youll also strengthen your self- and social-awareness skills by exploring how your personal and cultural experiences influence your opinions and choices.The universe is made of stories, not atoms.Muriel Rukeyser, poetStorytelling transcends all cultures, time periods, and geographic regions. Thats why the ancient Greeks built huge amphitheaters and why you find yourself saying Just one more episode! as you devour the new season of your favorite TV show. So its not surprising that understanding the stories we tell is a critical part of the study of humanities.In all of this, you will further develop your problem-solving skills by exploring stories from different cultures. By learning about common storytelling themes and values (and their differences and similarities), you will discover more ways to think critically about perspectives.

Once you select your work of art, write 23 pages in which you complete the following:
Describe what is depicted in the selected work of art.
Identify the artist (or artists), when the art was created or published, and the form the art takes (music, painting, short story, etc.).
If the work depicts a subject or event (like representational paintings, sculptures, stories, or films do), describe what is depicted.
If the artwork is nonrepresentational (like an abstract painting or sculpture, music, or architecture), you can simply say that it is nonrepresentational.
Explain two or three things that the artwork expresses, beyond whatever is directly depicted in the work.
Focus on your own reaction to and interpretation of the artwork.
What ideas, moods, emotions, hopes, aspirations, or states of mind do you think the artist is trying to express? If the artwork is representational, perhaps the artist is expressing certain feelings about whats depicted (such as grief, anger, or joy). If the artwork is nonrepresentational, describe the feelings or memories the piece evokes.
Describe at least three features of the work that have expressive power.
Here you can focus on qualities specific to the selected art (color, line, shape, composition, light and shading, sound, and so forth). These are the aspects of the work that do the job of communicating to the viewer or listener something that can’t easily be expressed in ordinary language.
Explain how your cultural perspective shapes your interpretation of the art.
Describe any cultural biases that may influence this explanation.
Write in a well-organized and concise manner that adheres to the rules of grammar, usage, mechanics, citations, and formatting.

Write a 23 page paper summarizing the main findings and identifying trends in the evolution of U.S. hospitals from the 1800s to today.
The first hospital in the United States was founded in Philadelphia in 1751. Its mission was to care for the sick-poor and insane who were wandering the streets” of Philadelphia (Penn Medicine, n.d., para. 1). Since that time, hospitals in the United States have changed in their roles, structures, and services. For example, there has been a shift away from inpatient care to more outpatient care. This change has affected healthcare providers and patients in important ways. There is also a combination of government and private payer systems that affect the finances of hospitals and patients’ access to care.
As a healthcare administrator, you will find it is important to have a historical perspective on healthcare changes and trends. This assessment is an opportunity to review historical trends related to hospital environments, medical staff education, level and quality of care, and payment methods for care. This knowledge will help you understand how to improve healthcare today and in the future. In your professional roles, you will often do research on a topic to provide background information for decision-making, committee work, or creating policies. One helpful approach to doing research is to create a comparison table of key events on the history of an issue. When you review events documented over time, you can uncover trends that help explain changes and progress in the healthcare industry.

Write a 34 page paper on the scope of change in medical education from the 1800s to today. Start with the early apprenticeship model to the current academic models. Discuss the importance of understanding the history in order to help improve medical education in the future.
Education and training of healthcare providers have evolved in response to the needs of a changing healthcare system. In the 1800s, students learned medicine through hands-on training with an experienced doctor. By the 1900s, medical training followed a more structured and academic model, with classes and clinical rotations. Today’s medical training includes many technology innovations, such as augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), robotic-assisted surgery, and minimally invasive or noninvasive procedures. We also have remote patient monitoring (RPM) and telemedicine through a virtual model of care (VMC). Additionally, modern training focuses on using the human genome for more precise diagnoses and personalized treatments. These shifts in training, technology, and role definitions have impacted both the quality of care and the healthcare workforce.
As a medical administrator, it’s important for you to have some understanding of the history of medical education and training.

PART 3
Write a 23 page paper summarizing the key findings and drawing conclusions on the historic trends of quality in healthcare.
Healthcare is one of the most closely regulated industries in the United States and worldwide. Over the years, the lines between private and public health systems have become less clear, with both working together to reduce health problems. Public-private partnerships (PPPs) in healthcare are agreements between public sector agencies and private entities. PPPs have created important programs like Vaccines for Children (VFC), Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), and the Healthy People initiatives (19902030). Governmental agencies have also been involved in improvements in medical education, research, technology, and payment models for healthcare.
For this assessment, you will explore key laws, regulatory agencies, and quality programs that have pushed the United States toward a strong focus on healthcare quality. As the focus on quality keeps growing, healthcare professionals can expect more new ideas aimed at improving health for both individuals and communities, along with new regulations to keep high standards in place.
Using template, write a 23 pagepaper in which you explain healthcare regulations and medical practice evolutionary changes for access, quality, and cost, including the significant milestone events from different time periods.

Write a 56 page strategic change management plan that describes how organizational culture affects healthcare management practices and the types of ethical challenges that can come with organizational change.
One of the biggest challenges for healthcare managers is balancing the responsibility to be good stewards of resources while also being financially responsible. Issues like conflicts of interest, billing practices, fraud, and abuse are just a few examples of the ethical problems that can arise in financial management. The concept of justice is key in making ethical financial decisions. Leaders must balance the needs of the market with the needs of patients, while also considering the fairness to their staff and community.
It is important to use formal ethical decision-making processes when handling ethical issues in healthcare organizations, and to understand how these processes differ from those in other industries. By developing an ethical mindset, choosing a personal moral stance, and adopting an ethical philosophy, you create a solid foundation for making decisions. Common mistakes, or decision traps, can happen in the decision-making process and can lead to failure. Being able to recognize and reflect on these traps is crucial for developing your own ethical decision-making skills.
Equally important is having a strong, ethically oriented organizational culture to help leaders face these challenges with integrity. Healthcare managers play a vital role in putting policies and procedures into place, as well as setting an example of ethical thinking and behavior.
For this assessment, you will evaluate a case study based on a hypothetical scenario involving healthcare management, patient care, and end-of-life considerations. You will utilize a formal decision-making process to evaluate this scenario based on the concepts and principles you have studied in this course and perhaps your own personal and career experiences.
Jenny Baluyot, the healthcare administrator at Brookside Hospital, is faced with a serious managerial challenge in the Case Study Scenario:
Ms. Baluyot must initially use excellent communication, investigative, critical thinking, and decision-making skills to immediately assess and deal with the situation she faces in her office when she arrives.
She will then need to investigate and evaluate the validity of the claims related to medical procedures performed and ethical behavior of staff to appropriately address them with the family and within her facility.
Finally, as an ethically minded manager and individual, Ms. Baluyot must be sure that Brookside Hospital provides Michael and his family with the discharge and end-of-life support they require.
Imagine yourself in Ms. Baluyot’s position, and work through the process outlined below.

Part 4
Conduct an informational interview with someone you consider a moral mentor to get an inside view of current ethical issues in healthcare. Finish the assessment with a course reflection that highlights key takeaways, explains how you can apply those takeaways to your career, and identifies what other topics you would like to study next.
External market forces create significant challenges for healthcare managers. Changes in society, such as shifts in demographics, government policies, the economy, politics, laws, and even the weather, can impact the healthcare industry. These changes can happen on a global, national, state, or local level. To be effective, managers must keep up with current issues while also trying to predict and prepare for future changes.
Healthcare managers also face a wide range of regulatory agencies and organizations that govern the healthcare system. These can be mandatory or non-mandatory and operate at national, state, or local levels, including consumer advocacy groups. These organizations exist to protect the community and limit the power of the healthcare industry. Managers have a responsibility to understand, stay updated on, and comply with specific guidelines and regulations in their sector to maintain a good reputation for themselves and their organizations. Strategic planning, developing policies and procedures, training staff, and building a strong organizational culture are all ways to support this compliance. These tasks also give leaders a chance to show their commitment to the community.
Successful healthcare managers demonstrate their responsibility by serving as advocates for their organization and profession. Being active in professional organizations is a good way to build trust and integrity in the community. Many healthcare organizations adopt the concept of corporate social responsibility (CSR), which focuses on creating social value and strengthening community partnerships. This shows their commitment to the community and can have local, national, or global effects, depending on the type of healthcare organization.
Three major market forces are currently influencing our healthcare system. First, the shift from a patriarchal system to a managed-care system has significantly changed how healthcare services are delivered. Second, the aging of the baby boomer generation is causing major changes in the healthcare industry. Third, there is growing public interest in integrative medicine, particularly in areas like surgical recovery, pain management, and cancer treatment. These external forces are creating new ethical challenges that require organizations and managers to develop effective strategies, policies, and procedures to address them.
Based on the content and your learning experience from this course, identify and contact a moral mentor to interview. The interview offers an opportunity for you to obtain an insiders view of current ethical issues in the healthcare field. This interview also offers you a chance to increase your understanding of ways managers utilize ethical principles and strategic efforts to prevent and address them. Healthcare management professionals are often willing to support a learner’s progress through their educational journey by sharing expertise and experience and by discussing the real-life application of course concepts and material.

Prepare a 68 slide PowerPoint presentation for a lunch-and-learn.
As you prepare for your career, it’s important to learn and show a basic understanding of the key ethical ideas related to healthcare management. These ethical principles need to be woven into every part of an organization to help handle tough situations in management, leadership, planning, and decision-making.
You should also know how personal values connect to ethical management. Having moral integrity, which means doing the right thing, is key to professional actions and can lead to successful business outcomes. However, personal ethical challenges might make it hard to stay a consistent moral leader over time. This is why creating your own moral guidelines and knowing your ethical limits can help guide your career.
Some of the most common ethical principles used by healthcare leaders are autonomy (respecting individual choices), beneficence (doing good), nonmaleficence (avoiding harm), and justice (fairness). Good managers use these principles to prevent and solve problems in all areas of the business.
While these principles might seem easy to understand, the real challenge for healthcare leaders is knowing how to apply them correctly. An effective leader builds knowledge and skills in ethical leadership by watching others, practicing, and reflecting on experiences and outcomes. The constant changes in our healthcare system offer ongoing opportunities to develop moral leadership qualities. Each part of the healthcare system has different needs and situations related to these ethical principles, but some applications are the same everywhere.
As a new leader, you’ve decided to prepare a 30-minute lunch-and-learn agenda to give to healthcare managers to cover the topic of ethical theories and principles. Explain the relationship between personal integrity and ethical leadership, and between ethical leadership and positive organizational outcomes. Use the ethical principles of autonomy, beneficence, nonmaleficence, and justice and how these principles guide ethical healthcare leadership practices.
As a part of the lunch-and-learn, you decided to bring a food item to share from your heritage or culture.
