Write at least a 200-word posting in which you answer the following question and explain your answer. Should the United States rely on market forces to adjust the specialty mix of physicians in the USA or should the government adjust residency financing to bring about the desired mix of physicians?
in 100 words write what you found interesting about this paragraph and what you like about the post.
Should the US rely on market forces or adjust Residency Financing
To bring about the specialty mix of Physicians?
The government should adjust residency financing to bring about the desired mix of physicians instead of relying on market forces to adjust the specialty mix of physicians in the USA The United States has the most specialty mix in the world as the government continues to support residency training. Other countries have a high proportion of physicians in primary care or non-specialist fields. This causes problems not only for patients but also for federal funding for Medicare and Medicaid. As specialty training continues to increase, there are two primary effects:
increased health insurance premiums and an aging population that is increasingly vulnerable to chronic disease because of a lack of prevention education and healthcare providers. Fatalism is rising as older people are less likely to seek preventive care.
The United States continues to use market forces to determine the number of physicians in the country despite evidence that market forces are not effective in meeting the needs of patients. Through its monopoly on residency slots, the public has been subsidizing training for forty years and has led to an oversupply of specialists and a shortage of primary care physicians. As a result, the number of residents has increased at twice the rate of population growth since 1952

How did this wave of imperialism affect the colonized peoples? What sorts of regimes or governments did the Europeans put in place to help them rule? How brutal was the process of colonization? (What were some of the worst consequences in places such as the Congo or India?)

The Follow-Up Questions
As always, your second post should be your own work and based on your reading and interpretation of the assigned readings for the week. While you can obviously read the posts that have been submitted before you add your comments, you should prepare your answers before you read someone else’s remarks. Simply repeating someone else’s findings ultimately hurts everyone because a lot of important information is missed and incorrect answers get repeated without reflection. I will read these posts in the order they are submitted, and second ones that are too similar to preceding ones will receive significantly fewer points.
According to your textbook, what were the impetuses behind the burst of imperialism in the second half of the nineteenth century? (Ferry actually addresses a couple of them in his speech.) Why did this wave occur when it did? Why was there also a widespread belief in places such as France and Great Britain that it was the “duty” of Westerners to civilize “inferior” peoples. (Where did this idea come from? Was it something new at the end of the nineteenth century?) What was Social Darwinism? Which European countries dominated the process of overseas expansion in the late 1900s? What problems led the Europeans to hold a conference in Berlin in 1884-85? What were its consequences?

Assignment: Monumental Documents
***Please use the attached resources for research and required reference material. Would the Allies win or the Central Powers? Four years after the start of World War I it still was not clear, and the devastation and loss of life continued. World leaders deliberated and the masses wondered how the fighting would end. To understand what helped to end the war, and to understand a changing political landscape in Europe between the two World Wars, you will take a closer look at two important documents.
These two documents, “President Wilson’s Fourteen Points” and the Treaty of Versailles, had the power to put an end to World War I and to help move Europe toward peaceful post-war rebuilding. But, what motivated Woodrow Wilson to make a speech to the U.S. Congress in 1918, outlining his “Fourteen Points”? And, how and why did nations agree to come together and sign the Treaty of Versailles in 1919? What did nations hope to achieve?
In your Assignment this week you will analyze these two important documents, and examine what countries gained and lost.
To prepare for this Assignment:
Review the Lukacs and Ginneken readings in this week’s Learning Resources, as well as the Treaty of Versailles and President Wilson’s Fourteen Points, to get a full understanding of the context and content of both documents.
Treaty of Versailies: https://avalon.law.yale.edu/imt/parti.asp
Consider the similarities and differences in content of the two documents, as well as each document’s strengths and weaknesses.
Determine what each of the major war nations achieved and lost according to the terms of the Treaty of Versailles.
Reflect on how victorious nations came to agreement on the terms of the Treaty of Versailles, the tensions among nations that existed at the time of the signing, and which countries were left out of the negotiations.
The assignment:
Compose a 2- to 3-page essay in which you do the following:
Compare the Treaty of Versailles with Woodrow Wilson’s Fourteen Points, including the strengths and weaknesses of each document.
Outline what each of the major war nations achieved and lost according to the terms of the Treaty of Versailles.
Support your assertions by making at least 2 references to your course readings.
Final Project: Management Improvement Plan for a Struggling Company
Final project must be three to four pages in length (plus a cover page and references) with double spacing, 12-point Times New
Roman font, one-inch margins, and APA formatting. Include at least two references cited in APA format.
It should be a complete, polished artifact containing all of the critical elements of the final product. It should
reflect the incorporation of feedback gained throughout the course. (see attached Guidelines and Rurics)
Also attached is the First paper of the Topic which is Motorola.
Parent Meeting
As you learned this week, teacher communication strategies
are vital to effective communication between students, families, and other
teachers. This week, you will provide a video/audio
for both good news and not-so-good news (I will do this portion from the paper
written).
This should be more like a script/paper with talking points and
some research to back up when talking with the parents.
**Think what would be a parents concern with the good news, talk about support groups and/or a parent you know who they can talk with. **** ***The bad news think about solutions for the parents, maybe let them observse the class to see thier child bullying others to see for themselves. What would be some great solutions to try both at home and school?
Imagine that you must communicate one of the following to
the parents/guardians of a student and you must support your message with:
1.
4 scholarly (2 for good news and 2
for bad news) research from the library (you must know how to research
scholarly sites)
2.
Also, include 1 or 2 resources for the parents
per news
The following scenario for the good news: 1 page
The student has excelled by two grade levels, and the
principal has suggested the student be promoted by two grade levels next month.
This will mean leaving their friends for the education they need.
The following scenario for the bad news: 1page
A student has been bullying other students. Parents have
been informed but blame your lack of classroom management. The bullying has
continued, and now the parents of other students are demanding you act.
