Critically describe and analyse the health care system of Canada. You can either provide an overall analysis and description of the health system (focusing on elements like health system organizations, actors, financing, performance, health service delivery and access, etc.) or you can focus on a specific issue (for example one of the elements mentioned above, or a specific health policy or health system reform). You also need to critically reflect on the main challenges affecting the chosen health care system (or the specific issue/health policy/reform you have analysed) and if there are lessons that can be learnt from other countries to address these challenges (if appropriate).

IOC Rules

Changing passports and competing for another country is not new in the realm of international sport. But in recent years, we are seeing an uptick as many athletes investigate trading in their original passport for an opportunity to compete on the international level for a different country. They may have a better chance of competing at the international level if they switch allegiances.

In the past, the Olympics brought together countries around the world to compete as united teams against other nations. However, since 1992, there has been an increase in athletes changing their passports to compete for countries other than the one where they were born or lived. In many cases, they made the change because the depth of the talent pool in the selected country wasn’t as deep as it was in their country of origin, so switching allegiances allowed for a better opportunity to qualify for the Olympics.

During the 2016 Olympics in Rio, the majority of runners on the track and field team for Bahrain Olympic were not from Bahrain; the team was made up of athletes from Ethiopia, Kenya, Jamaica, Morocco, and Nigeria. To date, every medal won in track and field by Bahrain has been by individuals born in Africa and not Bahrain. The athletes competing for Qatar are another example of switching nationality. Out of the 39 athletes that Qatar sent to the Olympics in 2016, at least 17 were from another country. In fact, the majority of the players on Qatar’s handball team were from another country (Janse, Oonk, and Engbersen 2018).

Essentially, countries can grant citizenship to whomever they want to, even if that person does not know the language or has never even been to their country. It is up to the country to decide how citizenship is granted. Individual countries have their own laws and governance concerning citizenship. Citizenship is granted for various reasons including birth in the territory or to a citizen, marriage to a citizen, individual talent, or satisfaction of the basic residency requirements for naturalization. The majority of Olympic nationality switches occur because an athlete met the residency requirements of a certain country and then changed citizenship.

Rule 41 of the Olympic Charter allows athletes to represent one nation in international competition as long as three years have passed since the competitor represented her former country (Wiggins 2018). Therefore, an athlete can compete for her new country once three years have lapsed since competing for her previous country.

1 – Do you think the IOC should create stricter rules for changing citizenship to compete? For instance, should athletes know the language, have visited the country, have lived in the country for a certain amount of time? Discuss your reasoning (5 points).

2 – What are the positives and negatives of switching allegiances? Research and give one positive and one negative (10 points).

Introducing Your Nonprofit Organization

1. Educate us about what your organization does. After learning more about them/or working with them in person, were you able to get a realistic picture of the organization? Explain both its strengths and weaknesses, and both its opportunities and threats how you saw them through your experience.

2. Applying the concepts and theories learnt in the course, demonstrate how this organisation fits in the overall picture of the nonprofit sector in the U.S., and identify relevant issues, challenges and debates with respect to nonprofit management in this particular organization and for the nonprofit sector more generally.

3. Reflecting on the required readings of this module, elaborate (1) whether you think that the staff of your selected organization experience any emotional labor at work (See Remington’s article), (2) what types of HR strategies the organization applies to manage volunteers and their experience (See Einolf’s article)? (hint: in case you think that your organization does not have any volunteers, think about the Board of the Directors. These guys are not paid, and thus volunteer, right?)

4. Convey the importance of the work done by the organization.

Did Jim and Laura Buy a Car?

SCENARIO: Jim and Laura Buyer visit the local car dealership because they are interested in buying a new car. The car they currently have is aging and is starting to have mechanical problems. Jim and Laura would share the new car, and use it to go back and forth to work and school. Before going to the dealership, Jim and Laura decide that they can only afford $400.00 a month in car payments.

Once at the car dealership, Jim and Laura meet Stan Salesman. Stan shows them several vehicles and Jim and Laura test-drive several of the cars. Jim and Laura particularly like the blue 4-door sedan. Therefore, they agree to give Stan Salesman a $100.00 deposit to hold the car for a day. Stan Salesman does not give them the receipt but guarantees that the $100.00 is refundable. No documents were signed.

The next day, Stan Salesman calls Jim and Laura to ask them when they would like to take delivery of the car. Jim and Laura, on the way home from the dealership, decided that they were not going to buy the car because they did not want to spend that money each month. Therefore, Jim and Laura tell Stan Salesman that they have decided not to buy the car and request their $100.00 deposit back.

Stan insists that the $100.00 was a deposit on the car and was meant to be part of the contract to buy the car. Stan is very persistent and insistent that Jim and Laura have contracted to buy the car; therefore, the $100.00 will be applied to the purchase price of the car. Jim and Laura are shocked and angry as not only do they not want to spend the money, but now feel as though they are being duped by Stan Salesman.

Jim and Laura have an appointment to see a lawyer in a few days, but know you are a student taking a business law class and come to you for advice. They are very frazzled, and understandably upset that they may have just purchased a car. Since you have been taking business law, you have read and understand the elements of a contract and the defenses to a contract. Therefore, although you are not a lawyer, you provide some basic advice from what you’ve learned in your business law class.

ASSIGNMENT: In three to five (3-5) pages, advise Jim and Laura based on the above facts as presented and the material covered in the lessons. In your paper, be sure to address the following:

-Define the elements of a legal contract using examples from the scenario where applicable.
-Decide whether or not there was a contract for the purchase of the automobile.
-Identify the facts from the scenario which support your decision on whether or not a contract exists for the purchase of the automobile.
-Use at least two (2) quality academic resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and other websites do not qualify as quality academic resources.
