Issues: ( The issues must came from the cases!!!!!)
Start each case submission by identifying which issues you plan on tackling in your case analysis.

This week’s discussion topic is about Gross Domestic Product (GDP), Per Capita GDP and Quality of Life. GDP is the market value of all final goods and services produced in an economy in a year. Per Capita GDP is GDP/Population and shows how much of total GDP is theoretically available to each individual in the society. Per Capita GDP is the normal measure of Standard of Living when comparing nations.
Quality of Life has no standard definition. It is broader concept that attempts to embrace the multitude of variables that make people happy. There are many measures of it, but all include GDP and/or Per Capita GDP.
The ultimate question for this week is: “Is GDP a good measure of economic well being?”
Part of answering that question is a consideration of whether economic well being for the nation is the same as quality of life for the individual? If not, how would you measure quality of life for the individual?
1) Review the concept and details of computing GDP (GDP.pptx).
2) Read the article in Chapter 23 in your textbook: “Measuring Macroeconomic Well-Being” (pages 488-489) – (Week 2 article.pdf ). The article is the same in both the 7th and the 8th editions, only the art work is different.
3) Read the Quality of Life Index article (QUALITY_OF_LIFE.pdf) as part of your study for this discussion. There are additional videos discussing this question in this week’s YouTube Videos collection.
4) Watch the videos above and under the Week 2 YouTube videos link watch videos 1 and 2 for a better understanding of GDP and video 5 for a discussion of how to measure well being (it is a live recording of a discussion group and, unfortunately, the audio is not always the best). For a detailed discussion of consumer spending, consumer savings and the CPI both current (December 27, 2013) and historic changes, watch the video from C-SPAN: Consumer Spending Habits.
This video is a British House of Commons committee hearing on the use of Quality of Life measures. The speaker is advocating using such measures. The video is Closed Captioned. Once the video states click on the CC icon and select from the menu.
This video is from the Bureau of Economic Analysis (bea.gov) which computes the GDP and National Income and Product Accounts information. The video describes what GDP includes. From more detailed information follow the BEA link and select the data series and/or tables of specific interest to you. The video is Closed Captioned. Once the video states click on the CC icon and select from the menu.
5) You may want do an internet search for other well being measures such as the “happiness index” or the “economic freedom” index. These indexes will deepen your understanding of this week’s topic.
6) Post your views to the discussion board and refer to at least two different concepts from this week’s Chapters. Your illustration of concepts MUST include an explanation why you think they are relevant to the week’s topic using specific information from the articles, videos and other research that you have done. Always use CAPITAL LETTERS to name (identify) and define any key concept you refer to.
MAKE SURE THAT YOU ADD SOMETHING NEW to the discussion
Communication skill for health care professional by ( Gwen van Servellen)
Please in a brief dissection answer all these questions
How important do you think cultural identity is to someone? In your own words please describe cultural competence, proficiency, destructiveness and blindness. Do you think this is an important topic in our communications course, why or why not?
Active listening
Active listening is a technique that is frequently used in conflict situations to increase the effectiveness of communication. View the following video and short article that teach active listening skills.
Active listening: Hear what people are actually saying. (2016). Mind Tools. Retrieved from https://www.mindtools.com/CommSkll/ActiveListening.htm
Now try to practice active listening with a friend, a spouse, coworker – or even a stranger on the bus! (You can use a cheat-sheet if you can’t remember all the steps.) Tell us about your experience. What were the circumstances of the conversation? Was it easy or hard? What gave you difficulty in putting the technique into practice? What was the other person’s reaction? Do you think the experiment was successful?
Please have a read through the information provided below and answer the question with relevant references.
“A number of posts have made me think of the HRA and Brexit. And how much of a sovereignty problem does the Convention and Court pose for the UK?
With the forthcoming departure from the European Union, or Brexit as we know it by, what might the consequences be for the UK? Do we think that question is
likely to remain a matter of dispute? The number of cases in which the European Court of Human Rights finds against the UK Government is very small indeed
but the question of the final word is still very contentious.
The Council of Europe and the EU require that Member States respect human rights. In practice, this has meant ratifying or acceding to the European
Convention. If we are no longer in the EU how does that affect us with the CoE and will we still be part of it? As the CoE require sign up to the
convention, will we still need to adhere to it if we are no longer an EU member state, or outside of the CoE? It would seem that a UK withdrawal from the
Convention might leave UK courts in the position of not applying the Convention as part of UK law (as at present they are required to do under the Human
Rights Act), and if no longer in the EU, will the negotiations include provision for application in regards to UK Law without having to apply it EU law?
“when are police searches voluntary?”
