Week 2 Discussion

• Describe at least two initiatives for cultural proficiency that you would put into place at a medical clinic.
• Respond to at least one peer. What are the benefits of implementing these initiatives? How would they address cultural competence within an HCO?

______________________________________________________________________
RESPOND TO A PEER:
In my opinion, an initiative to counteract a cultural deficiency is to promote a healthy lifestyle to minorities. Healthy lifestyles can change the dynamics of a person's life.  When you live a healthy and balanced life it can promote longevity. When a person implements weight management and an active lifestyle they will most likely decrease the percentage of diabetes, heart disease, kidney dysfunction, and gut irritabilities. The medical clinic could promote these practices by providing free classes and healthy incentives.  The healthy incentives could be discounts at the local gym or farmer's market.  
Another initiative would be to provide free mental health counseling for patients that do not have medical insurance of any type.  As we all know, mental health is a taboo subject.  Most patients are too embarrassed to admit that they need help or can't afford to be seen for it. If we decrease mental health the percentage of obesity, diabetes, gut irritability, and even suicide could be decreased.  The same forum as a healthy lifestyle and stress management should be supported by free education classes and training.  If the medical clinic offers other avenues to alleviate stress it will support the community. 
The benefits of implementing these initiatives would be the prevention of the diseases that I discussed above. There are some diseases that are provoked by genetics but can be decreased or prevented just by health management of your weight. The price of health care would go down and other subsequent medical issues would be prevented. If mental health care is implemented at an early age the effects can be decreased or even prevented as well.  These two initiatives would address cultural competence by enforcing a state legislative. It would provide social and business benefits to improve lives and save financially.  I believe it's a win-win for everyone in the Health Care Organization (HCO).

WEEK 2 

RESPOND TO A PEER:
Although there are many things involved with a customer’s decision with a purchase, it may not necessarily include wants, needs, income, or budget. It may have to do more with the persuasion that is presented that pushes them towards a particular purchase. As a marketer, it is essential to know how to convince customers that your product is worth purchasing, even if it goes against the specific criteria they may have already had. By knowing what a customer’s ultimate criteria is, you are able to use this information to persuade them towards a specific purchase.
If I were purchasing a new car, the most important decisions for me would be the style, but by this, I mean size, comfort, and space in the car. From previous experience, not every list item was exhausted before deciding on a final purchase. With the purchase of a new vehicle for myself, it would have to hit all the high points before deciding to buy. The marketer could use this to their advantage by persuading me to buy a more comfortable, more substantial vehicle that may be outside of my comfort zone for the price point. Knowing what is most important to the customer gives you the advantage to persuade them to purchase things that they may not normally consider or that they may not be able to afford, such as a different color, or even a different vehicle that was not necessarily considered before.

•    Pick one of these products, identify two competitors, and discuss what it is they offer that competes with your product.
•    For the product you selected, describe the unique selling proposition (USP). How is your product superior to the competitors you identified?

For this week's discussion, I want you to focus on Aristotle's treatment of the ethics of rhetoric. While Plato saw rhetoric as inherently unethical, and Isocrates saw training in rhetoric as a means of producing ethical students, Aristotle seems to treat the subject as ethically neutral, i.e., it could be used for either good, or bad. Locate in the readings two or three places where Aristotle touches on the ethics of rhetoric (trust me, there are many), explain what you think they mean, and draw a conclusion about what he sees as the ethical responsibilities of a student of rhetoric. Are we free to use rhetoric in whatever way we see fit, or does Aristotle seem to have some ethical agenda in mind? Make sure to support your answer with plenty of concrete examples from the readings.
