It gives a basic summary, it helps explain how problems were solved, thanks the readers, and opens the floor for questions. Executive summaries briefly describe methods. The conclusion summarizes the body of the report. Recommendations tell us the actions that were taken and give rationale. The format we should use is PAIBOC. 24.2- In order to decide whether to write a memo or letter of transmittal you should use a memo if you’re a regular employee preparing the report and a letter if you are not. 24.4- The executive summary is the summary that tells the reader what the document is about. 24.5- To decide what heading to use in the body of a report is to mark those that are most important.

...Clayton Smith Professor Guell Econ 302 15 June 2016 First Draft Healthcare is one of the hottest areas of ad growth but are also a relatively costly means of communication and may be less effective in achieving the goals of a health care organization than other forms of communication. Hospital, doctor, and insurance spending on major media ads. The topic of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act has been a very popular discussion in businesses and homes throughout America. There is a varying opinion about whether or not this act will have a positive or negative effect. President Obama's main focuses with the health care reform are to provide more Americans with access to affordable health insurance, improve the quality of health care and health insurance, regulate the health insurance industry, and reduce health care costs and to provide affordable health care to all Americans. Prior to this law being passed, a person could be denied health insurance or treatment due to a preexisting condition. Insurance companies were also allowed women a larger premium. There were approximately 44 million Americans who were unable to get health insurance. There are many different opinions about the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, commonly referred to as Obamacare. Some of the positive aspects of Obamacare that affect the average American person are that insurance companies are no longer allowed to deny a person coverage for having a preexisting condition. It also eliminates...

...Running head: DO WE NEED GOVERNMENT? Do We Need Government? If so, What Should be its Role Abstract The topic of government has always been a large area of conflict. In the following, I will discuss why we need a government and I believe we do need a government. First, do we need government and if so, what role should be its role? I began my paper by addressing these questions by looking at the United States Constitution. “We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.” People are the ones working alongside government to carry out these mandates stated in this important document. Do We Need Government? If so, What Should be its Role Role of Government In responding to the questions Do we need government? If so, what should be its role?, my answer has to be yes. Thomas Paine’s quote, “Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one.” (Paine, 1995) is as true today as it was during the Revolutionary War when he wrote it. In my opinion, we need government and the government needs us, so that Americans can continue to work together with government in harmony, to keep our country growing and developing. Our forefathers escaped to the New World...

...movements was a demand for universal healthcare. American’s greatest issue was sickness and missing work. When working individuals missed work due to “sickness” they lost their wages. The loss of income made sickness the leading cause of poverty. Reformist saw a need for national healthcare and the campaign began. Health insurance that would protect the worker against wage loss and expenses incurred from medical treatment. In 1906, the American Associaltion of Labor Legislation (AALL) became active in the push for national health care. They created a committee that concentrated on healthcare insurance, and in 1915 drafted a bill that gave limited coverage to the working class and to anyone that earned less than $1200 a year. This draft included sick pay, death, and maternatiy benefits. The proposal was meet by opposition (Palmer, 2010). Although the American Medical Association offered its support of the bill in the beginning, it soon followed the American Federation of Labor and private insurance industry in opposing the bill. World War I brought an end to the campaign for national health insurance debate until the 1930’s. The 1930s brought about a need to stabalize income and provide access to medical care. For various reasons healthcare utilization had increased, hospital...

...Role of Public Opinion in Politics Maribel Kultti March 20, 2015 Role of Public Opinion in Politics Introduction The topic that I have chosen for research for this paper is- “Role of Public Opinion in Politics.” Since in any civil society, politics works for the welfare of the people, it is important that the views of these very people are taken into consideration when making any policy decisions. The reason why I chose this topic is that in the recent time, traditional as well as social media has brought on a lot of public activism. Hence, it is important to revisit the role of the public in the political debates, discussions, and the overall decision making process. Background to the topic Ever since the world moved ahead of the monarchy and the dictatorship system, the importance of the public opinion came naturally to those who were the primary stakeholders in the politics:- the administrators and the other politicians. In the history of mankind, public opinion has forced to change or alter many political decisions. Hence, the role of public opinion in politics is not a totally new concept. However, in the modern age of information technology, people are empowered to share their opinion and get noticed like never before. Hence, it will be interesting to understand how people are using this power and how the political fraternity is reacting to the situation (Lippmann, 2007). Some recent incidents of interactions between people and politics ...

...Eric Desmond How we got to Obamacare First Draft What to do about the rapidly rising cost of healthcare has been a hot button issue contentiously argued by the United States two major political parties. The culmination of the what to do about healthcare sees us two weeks into a government shut down with a small but determined faction of ideologue republicans threatening to default on our debt by not raising the debt ceiling unless President Barack Obama scraps the biggest piece of legislation he has gotten passed into law since his election in 2008, a bill, commonly referred to as Obamacare. The president, on the other hand, is saying he won’t pay a ransom for the federal government to open back up siting his reelection as vindication that Americans want this legislation to move forward. Social media is being used by both sides of the argument to spread doubt and fear or oversell the law so it is difficult to know exactly what is true and what isn’t. This paper is an attempt to summarize the major events in the healthcare debate that have brought us to this unprecedented point of government gridlock. The modern healthcare debate started in the early nineties with the presidential election of Bill Clinton. Then First Lady Hillary Clinton and the late Senator Ted Kennedy championed the movement. The belief held by the most liberal of democrats was that being an American citizen gave you a birth right to healthcare. Republicans conversely saw any government interference as...

...In a document written two hundred and fifty years ago, the Founders could not have foreseen what the United States has become: an economic powerhouse, a leader on the world stage, and a country attempting to extend liberty and equality to all. The document standing in the way of this equality is the Constitution, an outdated document with outdated values and ideals that cannot possibly be entirely relevant to today’s culture. While it would be impossible to radically change the current Constitution, or even draft a new one, the United States cannot rely on every word that the Constitution puts forth. It keeps the United States from becoming that utopia of equality, and ensures bipartisan arguing, a facet of American history that we have never been able to escape. To stop this from happening, one must look at the Constitution as a living document, one that undergoes societal change with the...

...complaining that they pay too much as share of cost for employees (Shader, 2013). According to William (2009), the U. S spend a huge portion of its gross national product mainly on health care as compared to other countries. U.S Chamber of Commerce (2013), “The United States spends $2.7 trillion a year on healthcare, and in 2011, the government was on the hook for $38.6 trillion in unfunded liabilities for Medicare”. At present, the United States has relatively poor outcomes in the state health for her citizens to show for the expenditures. In a bid, to find a lasting solution to this concerns, the legislative arms in conjunction with government heads enacted a series of laws in recent years. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act was the first of these laws, President Obama this act signed into law in 2009. After much argument in 2010, The Preservation of Access to Care for Medicare Beneficiaries and Pension Relief Act was signed into law. This was accompanied by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act. Another legislation that became a law in 2010 is the Patient...

...Innovation In Management Jonathan Streat University Maryland University College Although innovation is meant to solve issues in the public, the problem is how to develop and implement bold, new ideas and get the public agencies to buy into the innovation when they are steadfast in their own belief system. I feel that this is the greatest challenge for management, as we open the second decade of the twenty-first century. Innovation in the public sector is considered to be a constructive change process, which is a result of solving deficiencies or problems. As a result of the events of 9/11, the federal Department of Homeland Security was created. Technology is widely used as a way to increase communication between citizens and governments to better facilitate public services. Also, innovations in policies solve problems. Controversial policies such as Obamacare, shrinking cities strategies, and vacant housing programs are all popular topics in cities across the country. Here is where we see innovations and the various types of management approaches. “Let us be clear about our context”. The public sector refers to the coordination, production, and delivery of goods and services by publically owned and accountable organizations (Potts 2010). This defines economic output including education, health, social welfare, and the private sector. Increased access to specialized knowledge, information, and expertise, resulting from the network form of governance, represent both...

...The idea of net neutrality has been around since the invention of the telegram and telephone system. This idea of neutrality led to the passage of the Communications Act of 1934 which regulates telecommunications by prohibiting preferential treatment and unfair consumer costs (The Communications Act of 1934). However, the term “net neutrality” as it pertains to the internet was first used by Tim Wu in 2003 in his article “Network Neutrality, Broadband Discrimination” (Wu, 2003). In March of 2005, the concept became more well known when the internet service provider (ISP) Madison River Communications was caught blocking all of its subscribers from using a voice over internet protocol (VoIP) service called Vonage. The company blocked this service because their own telecommunications service was competing against Vonage’s lower prices, made possible by utilizing customers’ internet connections instead of telephone lines (Ante & Crockett, 2005). Vonage made a complaint to the FCC, and Madison River Communications had to pay a $15,000 fine (Regan, 2005). Later in 2005, the FCC released an internet policy statement, which outlined support for an early version of net neutrality. This statement was meant to “encourage broadband deployment and preserve and promote the open and interconnected nature of the public Internet” by adopting the following principles: • allowing consumers access to the lawful internet content of their choice, • allowing consumers access to run applications...

...LABOR RELATIONS MG420 Kevin Erne Instructor: Stephen Fant Park University Internet Campus A course paper presented to the School for Arts and Sciences and Distance Learning in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Baccalaureate Labor Relations Park University November, 2012 1. Define the term “collective bargaining” and list and describe four issues that are mandatory components of a collective bargaining agreement. The Cornell University School of Law defines collective bargaining as the process of negotiating the conditions of employment between a group of employees and their employer (Cornell University Law School). In most cases, the employees are represented by a labor organization or union. The union bargains with the employer over such categories as compensation, personnel policies and procedures, employee rights and responsibilities, employer rights and responsibilities, union rights and responsibilities, and dispute resolution and ongoing decision making (Budd, 229-230). If all goes well and all parties involved come to an agreement the result of the negotiations ends with a collective bargaining agreement (CBA). If you were to conduct a Google search for “collective bargaining” your search results would be endless. I ran a search under news and came up with an article in the Huffington Post titled “Michigan Proposal 2: Should Voters Guarantee The Right To Collectively Bargain In the State Constitution...
