Contemporary Public Health Issue

Although the United States is among the wealthiest nations in the world, it is far from being the healthiest. Life expectancy and survival rates in the United States have improved dramatically over the past century, but Americans have shorter lifespans and experience more illness than people in other high-income countries. This assignment gives you an opportunity to put together what you have learned in this course, including, but not limited to:

  • public health policy, policymaking process, and law;
  • public health and the legal system;
  • individual and human rights in public health; and
  • social justice, ethics and public health policy.

Choose a contemporary public health issue (e.g., bioterrorism, gun violence, or natural disasters like hurricanes, tornadoes, and wildfires), its impact on public health, and strategies for mitigating and managing it once the issue occurs.

Following APA guidelines, create a PowerPoint presentation of 17-20 slides (plus title and reference slides) on the contemporary public health issue you have chosen and a human rights ethical dilemma. You will present this work to a team of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) officials tasked with developing global policies for addressing the impact of contemporary public health issues around the world.

Your presentation should assess:

  • the human rights concerns associated with the selected issues in public health policy,
  • the conflicts of interest between public health policies and your selected emerging public health issue, and
  • the gaps in the current health law that apply to the contemporary public health concern you selected with recommended suitable policy interventions to address the selected contemporary public health issue.

In my opinion I feel as though I get paid well but could be paid more. Considering the type and the amount of work I’m required to do at the bank I currently work for. One of the good things is that I live in Delaware and it’s tax free which is cool, but it can have its down sides to it. I do know once my family and I decide to relocate to a different state it will be a major change for us due to us living in a tax-free state. Hopefully the pay will be more and will match the cost of living depending on the location. The company I work for now is a very small company compared to the company I used to work for which was Bank of America. Both companies are good but the pay rate for Bank of America was lower than the current company I work for now. The benefits at my previous employer were awesome verses my current employer. I feel as though lesser pay is offered to employees at a bigger organization due to the size of the organization and wanting to keep fix cost to a minimum in some companies but not all. But from my experience I feel as though the bigger the organization the more opportunity you have.

I just recently relocated from Southern Indiana to Souther Illinois. I work in the HR field and when moving I also changed companies. Both companies are roughly the same size with close to the same number of employees. Both communities are roughly the same size and cost of livings are roughly the same. I received a very large pay increase just relocating. I made drastically less in my previous role even though my workload was much larger. I understand that pay can fluctuate with higher cost of living, transportation costs, or bigger industry sizes but none of these were the case here. My current organization knows that in a market society, companies most often need to pay the market rate in order to hire competent employees. Paying below market rate results in negative external equity as individuals do not see value in working for the business. Compensation rates above the market rate will attract more potential employees. Making sure you are staying up to date on what the external market is paying for the jobs in your area can be one way of ensuring external equity in your work.
