Being unable to afford transportation, proper treatment, and recommended therapies are several examples that the people in the minority group suffer from. In other cases there are a curtain group of people who unfortunately are unable to communicate effectively exposing them in danger of getting improper treatment. Although the United State is said to be a land of freedom and liberty many wouldn’t agree with it, as they are bound by the obstacles that make it almost impossible for them to get medical attention or treatment. Unfortunately there are inequalities, even when it is regarding the well being of a human being. Medical Expenses Barriers The United States lamentably is a Country, that doesn’t have a program designed to prevent their citizens from having to live without health care insurance.
By 1915 the Federated Boy’s Club changed its name to the Boy’s Club Federation boasting 43 clubs nationally with an operating budget of 3,500 dollars. During the World War One the club established a program sending 200,000 boys, 16 and older to work on farms, thus allowing older men to join the armed service. By 1931 again the Boy’s Club Federation was reorganized and took the name of the Boys’ Clubs of America with 275 clubs including Canada and Great Britain serving a quarter-million boys (Boys & Girls Club of America, 2011) . During the Great Depression the Boys’ Club of America did more than just provide after school activities, they now were feeding and clothing children across America. During the Second
Wages rose how ever there were too few goods on which to spend money. Also the creation of collective farms essentially destroyed kulaks as a class and this disruption led to a famine. I think that over all the first five year plan was not a success in strengthening the soviet economy because a lot of the targets set were not achieved for example the production of coal were 35.4; oil was 11.7 and steel 4 million tonnes. The actual target of these was double the amount produced. I think it was successful in the sense it increased urbanisation, several gains were obtained in heavy industry and wages rose.
Whether you’ve heard the song or have actually been in one of their buildings, you have most likely heard about the Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA). The YMCA has been around for over 160 years and has grown into one of the most well known nonprofit organizations in the world. In the U.S., the YMCA is comprised of YMCA of the USA, a national resource office, and more than 2,600 YMCAs with approximately 20,000 fulltime staff and 500,000 volunteers in 10,000 communities across the country. Worldwide, the YMCA serves more than 45 million people in 124 countries (YMCA.net). Though the YMCA is a popular place to work out at, you might not have known about the many programs and services that it offers.
Unemployment and Its Impact On American Cities Michael Collins Marygrove College Abstract The United States, its cities, and regions for decades have been trying to maintain low unemployment rates. It is a well know fact that the economy in America is facing tough times and many companies are being forced to pass out pink slips. As a result, America and its cities have being confronted with some of the highest unemployment rates in the 21st Century. Politicians have employed many strategies and ideologies to help regulate the unemployment rate. Unfortunately, over the past 10 years these strategies and ideologies have failed.
We see this again from 2004 all the way to 2010 with unemployment increasing to 10%. We can see that the economy hits a recession after roughly 10 years of gradual expansion. Okun’s Law states that for every 1% rises in Unemployment, GDP decreases by roughly 3%. The above Scatter Plot chart shows data from 1981 to 2010 and we can see that for every 1% rise in Unemployment over this period, GDP dropped by 0.4%. This shows a negative slop and that the relationship is relatively weak due to the fact the GDP has decreased by less than 1%.
The UK’s current level of unemployment is at 2.62 million (BBC News Business, 16th Nov 2011) which has remained high since the global downturn at the end of 2008. In the classical view, unemployment rates are associated with the real wage rate. Unemployment occurs because wages are too high and above the market clearing level. This causes an excess of supply. Trade unions exert pressure on firms to raise real wages which puts the real wage level above the market clearing level and is blamed for an increase in unemployment.
I find it ludicrous that a person may have access to controlled substances and never had to undergo a drug test. Random drug testing is testing that takes place at a random time, in a random fashion, without any suspicion of drug use or impairment by the employee. The testing takes place without prior notice to the employee. Random drug testing is often seen as an intrusion of a persons’ privacy, however, a person providing healthcare has a reduced expectation of privacy because they have access to medication and because they might pose a threat to a patient. All employers, providing healthcare for the elderly, should be required to randomly drug test employees, throughout employment.
This subject is near and dear to my heart because my husband was laid off several times during this period and has still been laid off now for nearly a year. “According to the spotlight on poverty and opportunity, “The national recession of 2007-2009 has taken a very substantial toll on American workers. From the final quarter of 2007 through the last quarter of 2009, the number of employed civilians 16 and over declined by more than 8 million; the number of unemployed more than doubled, as did the number of the employed working part-time for economic reasons (the “underemployed”); and a growing number of persons who wanted work but could not find it withdrew from active labor force participation (the so-called “labor force reserve”). In the fourth quarter of 2009, nearly 28.9 million persons, or 18.2 percent of all U.S. workers, were unemployed, underemployed, or a member of the labor force reserve, the highest such ratio since the beginning quarter of 1983”. According to Richard Posner, “A Failure of Capitalism: The Crisis of 08 and the Descent into Depression, Harvard, University Press, Cambridge, 2009” the facts and causes that were identified to perpetuate this great recession were an excess savings flowing in from Asia and the reckless lowering of interest rates by the Federal Reserve Board; the relation between executive compensation, short-term profit goals and the risky lending; the housing bubble fuelled by lower interest rates, aggressive mortgage
However, the SPH program put a lot of pressure on store managers and sales. In 2010, a large group of the R&R associates sued it for “working off the clock”. This lawsuit might cause reputation damage, and the settlement is up to $200 million. In 2008-2009 before the case, there was an economic recession. The whole luxury goods industry in the U.S. dropped over 14%, and R&R revenues declined 10%.
