What are wage/salary differentials? How does one determine cost of living? Why are these things important? Who would be for this? Why? What would their reasons be? Who would be against this? Why? What would their reasons be? Are there any other stakeholders to this issue? How do they factor in?

Salary/Wage Differentials

Here’s one example scenario: A professor is employed by Temple University, a Philadelphia-based institution, but has been working remotely since March 2020. His primary residence is in Tampa, Florida which has a much lower cost of living. For example, Florida does not have a state income tax, nor Tampa local wage tax. Pennsylvania and Philadelphia do, respectively. Also, the professor saves on the costs of commuting and dry cleaning. Is it appropriate that the professor continues to earn the same salary he would be making had he been living in Philadelphia and coming to work.

Define your terms – what are wage/salary differentials? How does one determine cost of living? Why are these things important?

Who would be for this? Why? What would their reasons be?

Who would be against this? Why? What would their reasons be?

Are there any other stakeholders to this issue? How do they factor in?

Dangers of Fire

Conduct research on the internet or the library to locate a real-life case of an OR fire that has occurred. Share that article/video (links must be working) in your initial post, so your classmates can watch or read the details and then comment.

Describe what happened and how it relates to what you have learned about the dangers of fire in the OR.
Could this incident have been prevented, or does this type of thing “just happen” sometimes, and it is a risk one takes when having surgery?

What specifically could have been done to prevent this event?
If you feel nothing could have been done, then do you think the patient should have been denied the procedure due to the risk?

NOTE: Check your peers’ posts to make sure you are not repeating the same case. It may take a little research in the library or online to find cases.
