Birth Control Availability in the Community Essay

Instructions:

As an adult, you theoretically have many options for controlling your fertility. If you were a teenager under 18, your options may be different and/or more difficult to implement.

 

Individuals can seek out services through private providers, hospitals, clinics, and/or purchase over-the-counter products. Their ability to do that may depend upon such factors as finances, insurance, transportation, and education about options. In addition, one’s belief system and relationship status may also impact options and choices.

 

One organization committed to providing services, regardless of a woman’s ability to pay, has been Planned Parenthood. The current election season has shown some politicians going after funding Planned Parenthood. Governor Christie proudly states how he defunded PP in New Jersey. Go online and visit the National Planned Parenthood website-

Click on: “Find a health center near you”

http://www.plannedparenthood.org/

Put in New Jersey.

Compare two centers in the state—one in a city, and one in another part of the state—suburban/rural. Identify the location of the sites you’re describing.

What kinds of services are available on site?

What are their hours?

What kind of transportation is available and/or required to get there?

What kinds of payment are accepted? How much money is needed for a typical visit?

Briefly comment on the differences in services between the two facilities.

Making the Purchase- Being an educated consumer. Visit each of the following types of stores where birth control methods may be purchased:•         Retail pharmacy—Rite Aid, CVS, Walgreens•         Supermarket (Speak with me if there are transportation problems related to completing the assignment.)            Do an availability and comparison price check comparison for the following methods: •         Seasonale/ Seasonique•         NuvaRing•         Sponge

 

•         Condoms

•         Comprehensive retail store—i.e., Walmart, Target

•         Small, local pharmacy

       Female Condom

       Emergency Contraception- Next Choice One Dose, Plan B One Step, Ella

       Other

You can submit a chart, or describe the differences in sentences.
Make sure to identify the location of the store you visited.

Thoughts, reactions and conclusions Conclude with 1-2 paragraphs on your reaction to the experience of “birth control shopping.” How did it feel to check the stores? What impressions related to access have resulted?Imagine that you were still a high school student. How would you feel shopping at each type of store? What challenges would you have to be able to access products and services?

Police arrest procedures  making people confused, fearful, and dehumanized

Please login to the following Web page:
http://www.prisonexp.org/
and take a tour through the slide show, which shows actual footage of the Stanford Prison study.

Please respond to three (3) of the following discussion questions;

What police procedures are used during arrests, and how do these procedures lead people to feel confused, fearful, and dehumanized?

If you were a guard, what type of guard would you have become? How sure are you?

What prevented “good guards” from objecting or countermanding the orders from tough or bad guards?

If you were a prisoner, would you have been able to endure the experience? What would you have done differently than those subjects did? If you were imprisoned in a “real” prison for five years or more, could you take it?

Why did our prisoners try to work within the arbitrary prison system to effect a change in it (e.g., setting up a Grievance Committee), rather than trying to dismantle or change the system through outside help?

What factors would lead prisoners to attribute guard brutality to the guards’ disposition or character, rather than to the situation?

What is “reality” in a prison setting? This study is one in which an illusion of imprisonment was created, but when do illusions become real?

Post your answers to the discussion board and comment on at least two posts of your classmates.

Saving Veteran’s Health: Nurse Practitioners to the Rescue Essay

The health of our veterans that have come back from war either physically or mentally wounded has become a very important and contentious argument. The apparent inability of the present Veteran’s administration to care for these men and women in an efficient and thorough manner appears to be overwhelming. Not only the active persons but those that have fought wars in the past is a large number of persons and has presented this country with a real dilemma. The cost of providing millions of veterans with quality care is a challenge and only recently did the Obama administration consider the possibility of having Nurse Practitioners and PA’s fill in where either there is no coverage or where the current cost is too great.

Saving Veteran’s Health: Nurse Practitioners to the Rescue Essay Instructions:

1. Considering that Nurse Practitioners are fully qualified and could easily provide quality care and less expensive care to these brave men and women that sacrificed so much for our country. Is this a viable alternative for the Veteran’s administration to consider having Nurse Practitioners fill in to give health care to our veterans? Voice your opinion and give plenty of supporting documentation and ideas to build a better system for our veterans.

2. Follow the link “Saving Veteran’s Health: Nurse Practitioners to the Rescue” to read about the proposals that are already in place and other proposals that seek support.

Who is a Servant Leader?

“The servant-leader is servant first… It begins with the natural feeling that one wants to serve, to serve first. Then conscious choice brings one to aspire to lead. That person is sharply different from one who is leader first, perhaps because of the need to assuage an unusual power drive or to acquire material possessions…The leader-first and the servant-first are two extreme types. Between them there are shadings and blends that are part of the infinite variety of human nature.” -Robert K. Greenleaf
