LEGISLATION GRID AND TESTIMONY/ADVOCACY STATEMENT

As a nurse, how often have you thought to yourself, If I had anything to do about it, things would work a little differently? Increasingly, nurses are beginning to realize that they do, in fact, have a role and a voice.

Many nurses encounter daily experiences that motivate them to take on an advocacy role in hopes of impacting policies, laws, or regulations that impact healthcare issues of interest. Of course, doing so means entering the less familiar world of policy and politics. While many nurses do not initially feel prepared to operate in this space effectively, the reward is the opportunity to shape and influence future health policy.

To Prepare:

  • Select a bill that has been proposed (not one that has been enacted) using the congressional websites provided in the Learning Resources.
  • The Assignment: (1- to 2-page Legislation Grid; 1-page Legislation Testimony/Advocacy Statement)
  • Be sure to add a title page, an introduction, purpose statement, and a conclusion. This is an APA paper.

Based on the health-related bill (proposed, not enacted) you selected, complete the Legislation Grid Template. Be sure to address the following:

Determine the legislative intent of the bill you have reviewed.
Identify the proponents/opponents of the bill.
Identify the target populations addressed by the bill.
Where in the process is the bill currently? Is it in hearings or committees?

Part 2: Legislation Testimony/Advocacy Statement

Advocate a position for the bill you selected and write testimony in support of your position.

Representation in Recreation & Travel

DESCRIPTION: Why does representation in travel and recreation matter? For some people, portrayals of minorities in popular culture and media not only affect how others see them, but also how they see themselves. Representation therefore leads to a certain level of self-awareness for individuals as they grow up as children and throughout adulthood. Individually, you will critically analyze four travel or recreation websites of your choice. Please choose websites all in the same category (i.e. choose all destinations, all state parks, all summer camps, all travel brands etc).

Part 1 – Content Analysis: For each website – you will perform a content analysis (i.e. counting & analyzing images) of the different types of people and scenery you see represented. For each website, choose only one “page” or “tab” to focus. Some categories will be easier to identify than others, just do your best to pick a category for each person, activity and scene you see. Copy, paste & fill out this table for each of your chosen websites.

INSERT name of chosen website here
Category Number Description of what is happening in the picture(s) (i.e. cooking, hiking, shopping etc.)
White people
Black people
People of Color (i.e. Indigenous, Asian, Indian, racially ambiguous etc)
People with Disabilities
People of a noticeable religion (i.e. Muslim, Buddhist, Mormon)
LGBTQ+ people
Male people
Female people
Image of Scenery
Other

 

Part 2 – Critical Reflection: After performing a content analysis of all four websites, you will critically reflect on how this project influenced you and how you view representation in travel and recreation marketing material. In this reflection – provide a short discussion (i.e. 1-2 paragraphs) on each of the following bullet points (no more than one page total). In your reflection, refer back to any relevant class material.
