Assignment 1:  Dealing with Diversity in America from Reconstruction through the 1920s Due Week 3 and worth 120 points

After the Civil War, the United States had to recover from war, handle western expansion, and grapple with very new economic forms. However, its greatest issues would revolve around the legacies of slavery and increasing diversity in the decades after the Civil War. In the South, former slaves now had freedom and new opportunities but, despite the Reconstruction period, faced old prejudices and rapidly forming new barriers. Immigrants from Europe and Asia came in large numbers but then faced political and social restrictions. Women continued to seek rights. Yet, on the whole, America became increasingly diverse by the 1920s. Consider developments, policies, and laws in that period from 1865 to the 1920s. Examine the statement below and drawing from provided sources, present a paper with specific examples and arguments to demonstrate the validity of your position.

Statement—in which you can take a pro or con position:

• Political policies and movements in the period from 1865 to the 1920s generally promoted diversity and “the melting pot” despite the strong prejudices of a few. (or you can take the position that they did not).  Use specific examples of policies or movements from different decades to support your position.  

After giving general consideration to your readings so far and any general research, select one of the positions above as your position—your thesis. (Sometimes after doing more thorough research, you might choose the reverse position. This happens with critical thinking and inquiry. Your final paper might end up taking a different position than you originally envisioned.) Organize your paper as follows, handling these issues:  

1. The position you choose —or something close to it—will be the thesis statement in your opening paragraph.
2. To support your position, use three (3) specific examples from different decades between 1865 and 1930. You may narrowly focus on race or gender or immigrant status, or you may use examples relevant to all categories.
3. Explain why the opposing view is weak in comparison to yours.
4. Consider your life today: In what way does the history you have shown shape or impact issues in your workplace or desired profession?

Length: The paper should be 500-to-750 words in length. 

Research and References: You must use a MINIMUM of three sources; the Schultz textbook must be one of them. Your other two sources should be drawn from the list provided below. This is guided research, not open-ended Googling. 

Source list for Assignment 1: Some sources are “primary” sources from the time period being studied. Some sources below can be accessed via direct link or through the primary sources links on Blackboard. Each week has a different list of primary sources. For others, they are accessible through the permalink to the source in our online library:  Sources below having libdatab.strayer.edu as part of the URL have a permalink to that source in our university’s online library.

California health care markets vary significantly by metropolitan area. Some are highly consolidated, while others are markedly less so. Kaiser Permanente has a large presence in some areas, but a smaller one in others. The degree of commitment to population health and ACO contracting varies, and populations are different, varying by age, income, health, and access to care.

Recent developments—including ACA insurance expansions, changes in Medicare and Medicaid provider payments, ACOs, and increases in patient cost-sharing—affect the delivery of care in California markets. These developments challenge the viability of hospitals, physician groups, and other health care organizations, and they threaten to hinder access to local health services as premiums and insurance prevalence grow. In 2013, a group of health care leaders from across the state convened to address the health care delivery issues facing California. They came up with a report that sketched out a vision for health care in California in the early 2020s:

A New Vision for California’s Healthcare System: Integrated Care with Aligned Financial Incentives (PDF) (Review the Executive Summary on pages 6-9 and the Vision found on pages 12-13.)

The objective of this exercise is to develop a set of recommendations for provider organizations in each of the following California markets to change in ways consistent with the vision expressed in the Berkeley report:

• San Diego

Recent CHCF reports provide details regarding the diversity of organizational models and affected populations within these markets: California Health Care Almanac: Regional Markets. 

Another resource to consider for ideas on how change is happening is a California Health Care Foundation Report: Many Routes to the Top: Efforts to Improve Care Quality, Coordination, and Costs through Provider Collaborations (PDF).
