In 1977 South Korea enforced a national health care system, and by 2007, 96% of the South Koreans were covered by the insurance.

  A Health Needs Assessment in Southwark Introduction Health Needs Assessment (HNA) is defined as the technique of ascertaining the health inequalities and needs being faced by particular population groups and pinpointing their urgencies for service and professional development. The assessment aims at refining the health of the targeted individuals or population to minimize health disparities. The HNA helps identify the broader determinants of the target population health and appropriate interventions secured to meet the identified needs. The people to benefit from the planned interventions should be identified, and it should be cost-effective. Shah (2018) identified three conditions that are named the taxonomy needs (p2). Taxonomy needs include felt needs (what the people want), expressed needs (what individuals demanded), and normative needs, which entails both the unmet and met needs.  In this assessment, the normative needs underpin the HNA for identifying both the unmet and met needs. Swystun and Davey (2019) propose it is always essential for individuals to exercise autonomy and control their lives instead of being articulated what they should do (p6095). This self-control is an approach to…

  National Security Though the greatest struggle of the twenty-first century lies in unleashing the liberty of the populace of a particular nation through short term and long term planning, the federal government have to deploy all the available mechanism to inundate this challenge. The government has to increase its paramilitary capability by equipping the soldiers with the knowledge, skill, and weapons required to combat terrorism fully. Additionally, this commitment to protecting human dignity and assured economic and political freedom will enable the United States of America to exploit their people’s potential and assure future prosperity, hence benefiting from their labor fruits. The government may either use mass destruction weapons, particularly to destroy terrorists harboring territories or strengthen their militia tactics through institutions. When it comes to eliminating terror activities, not even privacy would matters. No wonder the United States took the bold step to attack Qasem Soleimani using the highly modified US drone. Well, some may argue that this interfered with the autonomy of his life and particularly his privacy, and more so, it interfered with Iraq’s autonomy in…

The significance of cybersecurity in organizations Cybersecurity is the practice of protecting IT systems and data from cyber-attacks. It is can also be referred to as information technology security. Cyber-attacks involve cyber-assisted fraud, vandalism, sabotage, and espionage. With most of our operations revolving around computers and technology, it isn’t astounding that cybercriminals have found loopholes within the same system. Cyber-attacks evolve each year, and companies experience more breaches each time. In 2019, 1,506 records were breached by cybercriminals.  By the first half of 2020, they had already been 540 data breaches. Both big and small organizations are at risk of cyber-attacks. The good news is that around 85% of cyber breaches can be prevented if the right steps are taken. IT security can be divided into the following categories: Operational security Information security Network security Application security Operational security involves all the practices of operating and safeguarding data assets. Information security ensures the safety of data in storage and transit. Network security protects a computer network from potential hackers or malicious software. Application security ensures the security of software and…

            The Role of the National United States Government and Balance of Powers Student’s name Professor Affiliation Course title Date of submission           The Role of the National United States Government and Balance of Powers In the United States, the federal, state, and local governments have exclusive and concurrent powers. Some of the constitution’s policies and regulations are obligations to these governments to serve one another diligently. For instance, the federal government is responsible for regulating interstate commerce activities, coining money, declaring war, raising and supporting armies (Elliott, 2020). These are some of the laws that the national government is mandated to abide by to support state and local governments’ functionality. States are constrained from entering into treaties with other nations, levy taxes on importations and exportations, and coining money which only the federal government is responsible for. The concept of balancing powers between the federal and state governments has been ongoing for a very long time, which has changed and expanded the nation’s constitution over time. From history, we understand…

The reading response due in the second week will cover postmodern culture Response to culture and civilization Good observation! Technology advances have universally conditioned the modern building and created an urban form of civilization which is extremely difficult. Traditionally, architecture was imposed by automotive distribution and land speculation to limit urban designs. Nowadays, architecture has changed with high technology taking control over production and providing compensatory facades. Times have changed because traditionally, the technology used to maintain the interplay between civilization and culture.  Modern technology has transformed the metropolitan centres, and megalopolitan development has been in the rise. However, former architecture has increased the realization of the value of the land. The typical downtowns with residential stock and industries have now transformed into civilization that is not influenced by culture. The development has taken place, and culture has lost meaning. Urban centres have developed, and diversity has increased making culture lose meaning. Civilization has taken over the culture, and meaning has generated the word meaningless with culture losing its value. Response to the rise and fall of the Avant-Garde Excellent!…

The book contained leadership guidelines to be used by the newly elected royals and prices. Although the book remained unprinted until 1532, and a similar version was distributed in 1513 entitled using a Latin language, De Principatibus, Of Principalities.
