I need to have sources appropriately cited! APA format. Please look up what a “white paper” is. I have attached an overview and outline stating the claim, identifying the issue, and my thoughts on a proper solution.
White Paper Generative Outline
For this exercise, you will compose a generative outline that will help guide your drafting process as
you conduct your writing and research over the next three units. You have
already made a significant start on your work by completing last unit’s topic
proposal. This activity aims to help you maintain that momentum as you begin to
compose the first concrete draft of your white paper.
This activity is primarily aimed at developing, or
generating, the line of reasoning for your project. You have three main tasks:
(1) identify your central claim, (2) develop a working outline for your
project, and (3) compose a short draft section of your white paper.
After you complete this worksheet, you will exchange it with
a peer who will provide you feedback on your work.
Central Claim
Research-based writing advances a central claim that the
writer hopes to persuade her reader of. For the white paper, this central claim
is oriented around a problem and a solution. Recall the white papers we analyzed
in Unit Four. We might map the central claim of all of “All Health is
Connected” as follows:
Problem
Significant
health disparities for black men exist.
Solution
Leveraging
prenatal care settings can provide opportunities to redress these disparities.
Central Claim
Since
men of color face significant health disparities, healthcare providers should
consider how prenatal care settings might be leveraged to improve the health
outcomes of black men.
Though breaking down the central claim according to the
problem and solution it posits may seem a bit straightforward, doing so reminds
us of the sheer breadth of each component.
To persuade her audience, the writer advancing this claim
would first need to explain just what health disparities exist for black men.
(The writer does indeed take on this task, discussing key health indicators,
insurance coverage disparities, and the availability of care – among many other
topics). Then, the writer would need to fully describe the solutions she is proposing,
along with providing evidence that suggests these solutions would be
successful. (The writer takes on this task too, discussing how during the
perinatal period, expectant fathers are more mindful of their health, how
targeted exercises in self-discovery related to health can benefit individuals,
and how insurance processes might be improved – again, among many other
things).
The line of reasoning of this twelve-page document then
proceeds from the author’s central claim. Identifying your own central will be
essential to your drafting process. (You may have already made a solid start in
this regard in your topic proposal!) Importantly, this claim might change
slightly as you continue your research, draft your document, and receive
feedback from your professor and peers. For now, identify the most current
version of central claim by completing the table below:
Problem
Significant
inequalities in income between men and women in the private industry exists
Solution(s)
Industry
leaders can be proactive in redressing the disparity by adopting a new KPI as
a part of their overall strategy and implementing the required initiatives to
ensure the gap is eliminated or reduced.
Central Claim
Since
Significant inequalities in income between men and women in the private
industry exist, industry leaders can be proactive in redressing the inequality
by adopting a new KPI as a part of their overall strategy and implementing
the required initiatives to ensure the gap is eliminated or reduced
Working Outline
With your central claim identified, you will next draft a
concise working outline for your project. Since this is a working outline, you are not expected to identify and list each
major idea or piece of supporting evidence that will be in your final draft of
this project. Instead, you are expected to provide a map of the current state of your central line of
reasoning. Your continued work on your project, along with feedback from your
teacher and peers, will allow your line of reasoning to develop in terms of
both sophistication and clarity.
Let’s examine “All Health is Connected” once more. In the
previous section of this worksheet, we’ve identified the central claim and several
core reasons that support this claim. Consider the second and third paragraph
of the paper’s introduction:
In relation to the paper’s central claim, we might map the
reasoning of these very short paragraphs as follows:
· Central Claim: Since
men of color face significant health disparities, healthcare providers should
consider how prenatal care settings might be leveraged to improve the health of
black men.
o
Reason
One:
Black men experience worse health outcomes.
§ Evidence (A) for Reason One:
Research shows higher levels of adverse health conditions compared to white men
(Source: CDC, 2017)
§ Evidence (B) for Reason One:
Research shows that these disparities exist between black men and other groups
as well (Source: Kaiser Family Foundation, 2007)
There is, of course, much more of the paper’s line of
reasoning. (Your instructor may invite you to map other parts of the paper’s
line of reasoning during this unit’s class session!) But for now, we can see
how the core logic of the white paper derives from its central claim.
For this part of the worksheet, draft a working outline of
your white paper in the space below. Remember, your line of reasoning might not
yet be fully developed. That’s okay. Write down your central claim, the main
reasons you have identified related to it, and the evidence that you’ve
discovered that supports these reasons.
You may also consider adding bullets to your outline that say
“Need additional reason” or “No evidence for this yet.” Doing so will allow
your peers and your teacher to see where you are at in your writing process.
MY WHITE PAPER:
[Insert Working Outline Here]
o
Central
Claim: Since Significant inequalities in income between men and
women in the private industry exist, industry leaders can be proactive in
redressing the inequalities by adopting a new KPI as a part of their overall
strategy and implementing the required initiatives to ensure the gap is
eliminated or reduced
o
Reason
One:
Women receive less pay for the same level of productivity and output.
§ Evidence (A) for Reason One:
Research shows over a matter of years there has been an income gap in gender
§ Evidence (B) for Reason One:
o
Reason
Two:
Evidence: Social or ethical responsibility
· Leaders
are known to have ethical responsibilities and in their position they make
decisions based upon those responsibilities
o
Reason
Three: Evidence: Strengthen brand and cultural reputation
· If
leaders made decisions and took steps to ensure there were no wage gaps between
genders that would improve their company culture and brand reputation
significantly.
First
Draft Section:
There
has always been unequal treatment in the work place. One area that is
particularly unequal is the pay gap between men and women in the professional
private industry. There have been many data points showing individuals working
in the same industries with the same levels of education receiving different
salaries. Going into 2022,
women earn 82 cents for every $1 men earn when comparing all women to all men,
a statistic that is unchanged from 2021.
One
reason women may earn less
is because they are thought to be more likely to leave the workforce as a
result of social expectations placed on them as mothers and caretakers.
Unemployed women also face a disproportionate wage penalty compared to men when
they re-enter the workforce. There are multiple issues such as this that make
it hard for women to earn the same as their male counterparts. It’s alarming to
know that we have so many advancements in modern society however inequalities
such as this do exist
As this problem continues, solutions
to this issue could fall back on the industry leaders to develop new plans to
fix the problem. If leaders would implement a new KPI in their business model
they could effectively monitor these inequalities and make up for them. A Key
performance Plan is a strategy most companies use to measure how they are doing
in specific areas of their business. If these companies developed a KPI
specifically catering to the wage gap they might see results that can lend
suggestion on how to fix the issue.
