“The Necessity of Universal Healthcare: Ensuring Access to Care for All” Universal healthcare is a system in which all individuals within a society have access to affordable and quality healthcare services. In the United States, approximately 50 million people are
Healthcare Services Module General Engagement:
About 50 million people are medically uninsured in the United States today. Many of these people earn low wages and cannot afford health care premiums; still others have employers who do not provide health care coverage at all. Other factors associated with lack of health insurance include age, race, and educational level.
People without health insurance frequently go without needed care. For example, many seriously ill patients are seen in hospital emergency rooms after reaching a critical point with conditions that could have been prevented or treated more easily earlier on.
General Engagement: (10 pts)
After reading this week reading: Healthcare for All
Consider the issues that arise when many people who are in need of routine medical care avoid it because they don’t have health insurance and the costs of doctor’s or hospital visits are too high without it. Create an argument in favor of universal health care and identify at least two strategies you would use to publicize your proposal. -

“Configurator GUI Application” “System Configuration Options with Enhanced Features”
Unit 6 Final Project (Mastery Assignment)
Description
For this week’s assignment, you are to prepare
a GUI application.
Instructions
·
·
Directions
o You
have been selected to develop a GUI application called a “Configurator”. The application allows the user to complete
the configuration of a computer system and produce a sales price for the system
based on the configuration selected. The
application must meet the minimum operating requirements and specifications as
provided below:
·
Operation
o The
user configures the components of a computer system by selecting items from
combo boxes, radio buttons, and check boxes.
o When
the user clicks the Calculate button, the application calculates the prices of
the system by adding the cost of each selected component to the base price of
the system.
o An
option is provided to the user to clear all entries and begin over.
o As
the systems are configured on the “fly”, the program should update the costs
automatically to show the user the impact of adding or changing the basic
system (running totals)
o When
the user presses the “order” button, the program should display the current
configuration in a dialog box of your choice.
The dialog box should show the configuration the user is about to order
with pricing and totals. The user must
confirm the configuration before the order is processed. When the user confirms the order, the order
is processed and the order displayed as processed.
o When
the user closes the frame or presses the Exit button, the application exits.
·
Specifications
o You
are free to use whatever layouts and panels you need to design the
application. You can also create any
classes you think might be helpful to solve and develop this application. In
short, you’re the developer and may use all resources available to you. The only requirement is: you must use the
Java programming language.

Title: The Consequences of Neglecting Mental Health Care in the United States
The overall goals of this assignment are:
to trace the causes that led to the current state of affairs, and then
to argue for the potential effects of maintaining the current state, changing current policies/laws/programs, or implementing new ones.
Please keep in mind that you do not need to “solve” the problem. See if you can discern real and/or potential connections.
I encourage you to go wherever this assignment takes you. The broad topic is based on the interest areas that you identified as a class, but I hope that you will find the angle that is the most interesting to you and run with it.

“Advocating for the Inclusion of Philosophy of Science in Global Education: A Call to Action”
Content of your paper:
Imagine that you could ensure everyone on Earth learned about one of the topics in this class. What topic would you choose, and who would you want to learn about this topic?
Unfortunately, no one has the power to ensure everyone learns anything. But we all have the power to make arguments about what we think others should learn. That’s what you’ll be doing in this paper-trying to convince an authority figure why your topic should be learned by others beyond this class.
This will be an argumentative paper, where:
The argument is appropriately targeted: Your audience is the authority figure in charge of the people you’d want to learn about this topic. Feel free to be creative here-if you want everyone on Earth to learn about your topic, write to the President of Planet Earth. If you want all kids in elementary school to learn about this topic, write to the Board of Global Elementary Education, etc.
The topic is accurately/clearly described and outlined in your own words: You have identified a topic clearly, described the relevant philosophical questions connected to the topic, cited the particular authors that you would want to be taught, and analyzed how they differ in answering the relevant philosophical questions.
The impact that learning this topic would have on our world is convincingly described: While you are certainly welcome to argue that everyone on Earth should learn about your topic, you are also welcome to focus on one part of the population that you think should learn about this topic (e.g., “future scientists,” “everyone on Earth,” “kids in elementary school,” “future psychologists”–whoever!). Once you’ve identified the population that you want to focus on, you should then convincingly describe why this population should learn about your topic. In other words, how would this impact our world for the better? Would it improve scientific practice? Would it positively affect the people who learn about your topic?
You convey to your audience what you think the value of philosophy of science is: In this section, you may refer to any of the Learning Materials or any other sources you’d like, but there should be original argumentation offered here.
You propose one recommendation related to educating others about your topic (and perhaps bridging a gap between philosophy and science): You may refer to the recommendations listed in the Laplane et al. article, but your recommendation should an be original one. Then, defend that recommendation. Do you think it will ensure the positive impacts you described above if it is implemented? Does it fall short of having those impacts?
Editing and revising your paper:
Your paper must be written in Standard English, in a professional tone. The paper should be free from spelling and grammatical errors, and points may be deducted for a significant number of these errors.
I am not looking for a summary of the texts we’ve explored or a summary of literature beyond what you have engaged with in this class. However, in your paper, you should be critically engaging with multiple learning materials from our class.
I expect in-text citations throughout the paper and a bibliography at the end. Remember that citations aren’t just for direct quotes. If you’ve just articulated someone’s position, explained an example they use, etc., you should include a citation. I don’t care which format style you use (APA, MLA, Chicago, etc.), just pick one and be consistent.
Formatting:
Font size: 10-12
Font: Something legible
Spacing: Double-spaced
Citations: In-text citations & bibliography
Length: 650-800 words (850 is the word limit)
Plagiarism Policy: This paper will be submitted to TurnItIn and remember that any work produced by ChatGPT should be included in the bibliography. If you have any questions about this policy, please email me/refer to the syllabus. -
Title: The Benefits of Exercise: Why Regular Physical Activity is Essential for a Healthy Lifestyle

Thesis statement must include your position. You may only defend one side of the argument.
Background information.
Three supporting reasons.

You must cite all of your sources.
Use MLA style to format and cite.
