Design a Value-Stream to analyze and control the quality of Amazon’s healthcare products using low costs alternatives.

SCENARIO: The world’s population is aging rapidly and it has contributed to changing business in Amazon.

Recently, Amazon has entered the healthcare market and connects global suppliers with customers of

healthcare products. This has contributed to decrease in price of healthcare items but has increased access

to unreliable and (sometimes) dangerous suppliers who might not use the same quality standard as their

competitor’s. However, for many large and small hospitals, it is beneficial to use Amazon suppliers because

of the fast delivery and low prices. Therefore, an emphasis has been placed on managing the risk of buying

healthcare related items purchased through Amazon.

Please use internet for recent and relevant readings and discoveries but don’t plagiarize. Organize

all your citations, graphs, and charts (if any). Use no more than one page titled “References” to cite your

readings.

Research and select a historical event—older than 5 years—as it relates to racism. This can be any event you believe is important in understanding racism in the U.S.
Research and select a current event—within the past 12 months—as it relates to racism. This can be any event you believe is important in understanding racism in the U.S.
Submit a 2- to 3-page paper that addresses the following:

Describe the historical event and how it exposes racism, either overtly or through more subtle actions due to the systemic nature of the problem. Please include the following in your description:

Overview of the event, including the general time period, inciting incident, and parties involved.
Outcome of the event, including any major social or political changes as a result.

Outcome of the event, including any major social or political changes as a result (if there is no immediate outcome, share possible or proposed outcomes).
Connection to social work, either through its impact on ongoing research in the field or on the treatment of populations.
Then, compare the two events. Consider the following to help guide your comparison:

How were the causes of the two events similar?
How were the causes of the two events different?
Did the outcome of the historical event have any positive impacts on the response to the current event? If not, explain how the systemic nature of racism may have played a role in this lack of progress.

Prepare a word reflective on the topic of diversity and learning environments

As classroom leaders, teachers have many opportunities to encourage everyone to respect people of all backgrounds and abilities and promote a positive classroom environment that supports learning and decreases disruptive behavior. Teachers should reflect on their own values and beliefs in order to understand any underlying effects these beliefs may have on their instruction and interaction styles with students. Such awareness can help teachers be more objective, have more empathy and understanding of others, and set the tone for a respectful and cooperative learning environment.

Prepare a 750-1,000 word reflective on the topic of diversity and learning environments. Address the following:

Describe personal frames of reference regarding cultural, linguistic, and gender differences.
Reflect upon how your personal background and frames of reference can, however unintentionally, create bias in your relationships with students and families, how you design instruction, and the classroom environment you promote.
Describe specific ways to decrease potential bias in your classroom, including ways to incorporate your students’ abilities, interests, and cultural and linguistic backgrounds into the learning environment.
Review the “Integration of Faith and Work at GCU.” Using this as a guide, discuss how Christian values align with establishing a multicultural classroom that demonstrates and teaches how to respect people of all backgrounds and abilities.
Support with 3-5 scholarly resources, including the “Statement on the Integration of Faith and Word” article.
