1. What does social justice mean to you?
What does social justice mean to you?What does social justice mean to you?Consider the
following topics. In many U.S. communities, low-income populations use the emergency
room instead of going to a physician or mid-level provider’s office. They often do not pay
the bill for their service, which shifts the cost of their care to others, paying patients at the
hospital. This practice drives up the cost of health care, but what else can hospitals do? They
have to have a certain amount of income to keep their doors open. Is this fair? What if these
sick people remain untreated and infect others? Is this just? Do they deserve care so that
they don’t infect others? We talk about a culture of poverty in this country. What does this
mean to you? What about those people who seem to bilk or misuse the health care system?
Do they deserve care? If so, who should pay for it? Shouldn’t everyone be forced to carry
health insurance so that everyone has a pay source? Can we expect people to pull
themselves up by their bootstraps?:· What does social justice mean to you?· Is social justice
the same as socialized medicine or even communism?· The notion of social justice is
fairness so that everyone can achieve a certain level of health and wellness. After all, the
Constitution guarantees everyone the right to pursue happiness.· Is the health care system
fair?· If you could wave a magic wand and fix the health care system, what is the first thing
you would notice indicating that it had changed?· Or, in your opinion, do you think it needs
to be changed at all?This should be a 5-paragraph (at least 550 words) response. Be sure to
use evidence from the readings and include in-text citations. Utilize essay-level writing
practice and skills, including the use of transitional material and organizational frames.
Avoid quotes; paraphrase to incorporate evidence into your own writing. A reference list is
required. Use the most current evidence (usually ? 5 years old).Stanhope, M., & Lancaster, J.

ORIGINAL, PLAGIARISM-FREE PAPERSYou must proofread your paper. But do not strictly
rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a
lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with
numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your
paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary.
Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors.
Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.Use a standard 10 to 12

2. point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with
small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the
recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.Likewise, large
type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between
lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding”
to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your
professor.The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on
the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white
paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to
follow your argument.
