Social Views Of College Students

    The United States is considered by most as the greatest country in the world. It has the largest military, the largest economy, freedom of speech and religion, one of the first “successful” democracies and of course, the American dream. Yet, the most dominant force in the world, is also the only westernized industrial nation without a Universal Healthcare system. Clearly, something has to be done, America should have universal healthcare for all citizens. There are too many people in the country that is falling victim to the expensive private insurance companies.

The United States is known as one of the greatest world powers: however it is held back by its weak healthcare system. As of 2010 the US healthcare system currently ranks the 37th best out of 190 countries (Murray). Before the introduction of the Affordable Care Ac in 2010, the United States had an individual insurance market. It was the responsibility of the individual or their employer to take care of their healthcare costs. On top of this, millions of people could be denied insurance by different agencies due to pre-existing claims. Healthcare was expensive, but the costs were nothing compared to the medical bills owed by an uninsured person. Universal healthcare is a basic right not a privilege. Everyone should be given the

Three ways the sociological perspective can help one succeed in college and the work force has to begin with what the work force and college life is actually looking for. College is a place where students socialize and become part of the community, the work force is where people socialize and become part of a larger idea to make a profit. Without the complete desire to become apart of the world, then the whole experience is limited for an individual. The sociological perspective is an outlook on the world so that one can see beyond the individual and one’s focuses, and focus upon seeing the way the world functions and how people interact with one another. (Ballantine et al, 2016) There are eight ways the sociological perspective can help an

The United States has a very unique healthcare system. Does this mean that we are simply leagues ahead of the rest of the world in healthcare? Unfortunately, not at all. The ideal of American exceptionalism is apt to describe our healthcare system. That is, our current system is exceptionally bad. Per capita, the United States spends “twice the average of other developed countries” on healthcare ("United States Per Capita Healthcare Spending Is More Than Twice The Average Of Other Developed Countries"). Yet, in the World Health Organization’s ranking of healthcare systems by nation, the U.S. comes in at a dismal 37th place, despite spending the most per person of any country on Earth on healthcare ("World Health Organization’s Ranking of the World’s Health Systems").

The United States health care system ranks 37th in the world. Statistically, it’s bizarre how United States is amongst one of the most advanced nations in the world and the fact that it spends more on its healthcare

A national health care system in the United States has been a contentious topic of debate for over a century. Social reformists have been fighting for universal health care for all Americans, while the opposition claims that a “social” heath care system has no place in the ‘Land of the Free’.

The purpose of this action is to strive for equivalent open doors for everyone paying little heed to race or skin color. Race has always been a controversial factor in the college admission process. Critics who are supportive of the action say that colleges reach out toward minorities since they are the least diverse in the college environment. With the demographic they display they are urged most of the time to apply for college admission. Often these institutions offer some help to those minorities such

The biggest issue in America is not just hunger, education, and crime- but health care. Perhaps the cause of these other issues, health care is expensive and hard to access. The high cost is tolerated in the belief that more expensive health care leads to better care. This is not true, as studies show that 20% to 30% of patients are issued the wrong treatment or medicine. These medical errors have caused thousands of lives to be lost- at a higher cost. As more Americans are aware of our low ranking in worldwide health care- Japan, Sweden, and Canada making the top three-the need for a nationwide health care reform is much debated. Even with other great countries to mirror we are still hesitant in reforming health care to make it accessible to every American citizen. Although the United States guarantees it's citizens access to fire and police services, protection by military, national postal service, and education as well as many other free federal- and state-funded services they have yet to commit to ensuring them health care coverage.

Taking the life of the innocent is condemned in the Ten Commandments, which orders without qualification: “You shall not kill.” It’s a sin against God and a crime against the dignity of the human person, who is made in God’s image”. Killing is like a sin that “cries from heaven” for the Lord’s justice. In the New Testament, Jesus reaffirms that the commandment is against killing in the Sermon on the Mount. Killing is not allowed in the Ten Commandments and it is a crime against God and the dignity of the person.

America is known for democracy, freedom, and the American Dream. American citizens have the right to free speech, free press, the right to bear arms, and the right to religious freedom to name a few. The Declaration of Independence states that American citizens have the rights including “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” America promises equality and freedom and the protection of their rights as outlined in the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights. But with all the rights and freedoms that American citizens enjoy, there is one particular area where the United States seems to be lacking. That area is health care. The United States is the only industrialized nation that doesn’t have some form of legal

We live in a world where universal healthcare should not be looked upon as a privilege but a necessity. Our great country, the United States has always prided itself in setting a precedent, from democracy, with the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, to Industrialization and the rise of big business, when the country rose as a world power we faced opposition; however, we overcame hardships, joining the United Nations, working towards equal basic rights for peoples across the globe. Our country has demonstrated many improvements, for not just the world, but for its people, its citizens, an end to child labor in the 20th century, a standard minimum wage and the right to an abortion, our freedoms have always been fought for. However,

Before beginning the WebQuest, I felt that it is ridiculous that health disparity is a common problem in the United States. Healthcare should be available to everyone who needs it and should not be so expensive that families go into debt because of their medical bills. Now, I did not believe health care should be free, but I did believe that there should be affordable insurance for individuals of all social classes. I would say there are many factors that can play a part in promoting my feelings, for example, I am a young white female that has never been without health care, and has no chronic illness. I also work in the healthcare system, which is a factor that could influence my attitude and view about this topic. After completing this assignment,

Desiring to have a better life in future inclines people to focus on their academic career. Schools, exams, busy schedules and a pile of work are quintessential this goal. Therefore, students who want to achieve a better future prefer undergoing hard work instead of engaging in social activities. However, social sides of college do not only occupy a big role, but also has plenty of benefits. Social life in college becoming increasingly essential in today’s world triggered an acceptable consideration: Social parts of college should be considered as equal as the academic parts because of psychological, social reasons and its benefits in terms of future.

In Nathan’s article, she keeps her principal focus on how foreign students interact with American students and the distinctive type of relationships that they build. It is quite strange to some of the foreign student’s that Nathan has interviewed about how non-committed American students are to the foreign students because American 's students do not socialize as much, and tends to spend more time alone. Furthermore, they will make small talk rather than being close friends or let it evolve into more. At that point, Nathan turns her center towards the difference between a relationship and a friendship between American and foreign students. She also discusses with different foreign students with different background and how they interact with their American roommates, and the relationship that they bond. In addition, American student’s family is a distinct subject from school but for international students, it is something naturally integrated into their social lives, which is why they care so much about their parents (Nathan 73). Furthermore, she discusses how many foreign students make comments about how different students look and the lack of attention that they give their professor compared to in their home country. Nevertheless, the social life and making companions in American can be quite troublesome for any foreign students. However, once you become acquainted with American students and get to be

We are the only country in the world that does not have universal health care. We are also the country that pays the most for health care and still has the worst birth rate compared to those countries that pay less for their health care. I think that our government should be
