Building codes might vary from one country to another. Search for building codes in another country that is
different from the US. Write two paragraphs about two different codes that are different than what is available in
the US. Explain why the difference might be interesting and what you think about the variation. Provide the US
codes you are comparing them to and the codes from the other country. Also, provide a link to your
information.
(my professor states: Make sure you don’t use the same country that any of your classmates have used)

Activity – Senior Interview on Retirement and Medicare Plans

/in /by

First start by watching this video on the different parts of Medicare.

There are many different types of MediGap plans（https://medicare.com/medicare-supplement/medigap-plan-benefits-chart/）that can range from 0-hundreds of dollars each month depending on the coverage desired. Some seniors are willing to pay a fair amount each month if they don’t have copays and deductibles each time they visit the doctor or hospital. Other seniors who don’t go the doctor often, would rather pay less each month and only pay when they need it.

I also want you to review how to read an Explanation of Benefits ( https://www.healthsmart.com/PDFs/2013-HowtoReadanEOB-Final.pdf) Some of you have been doing this for awhile, and for some of you, this information is brand new. It is important to know how much your doctor has charged, what your insurance has agreed to pay, and what you may owe.

It is important to have a basic foundation of how Medicare works and how you can help families determine the best options and plans. You are welcome to play around on the Medicare.Gov (https://www.medicare.gov/) website to learn more. Developing empathy for the complex decisions seniors make about which plan and how much to pay is also important. I also want you to ask the seniors about how they planned for retirement. There are two different topics for many people, but for some, planning for long term health needs aligns with their retirement plans.
For this assignment, you need to interview someone on Medicare. If you don’t have a connection with someone over the age of 65 who has Medicare, let your instructor know. Talk to them (on the phone or in person) about:
Part 1- Medicare Coverage:
How they determined if they needed a supplemental plan like MediGap, Medicare Advantage;
How they researched their plans;
Did they get help from someone or do it on their own;
Do they re-evaluate their plan each year or do they just renew;
Are they happy with their coverage (why or why not);
What advice would they give to others to help them learn about Medicare and not make some of the mistakes (if applicable) they made;
Are they worried about their ongoing healthcare needs given the political climate or do they feel secure (why or why not);
And any other items you want to ask them related to Medicare coverage.

Write 45 page analysis of ethical aspects surrounding a decision of the commander of the USS Theodore Roosevelt to disseminate a plea for help for his Covid-19-stricken ship, and write a communication detailing lessons learned from the incident.

/in /by

Overview
Captain Crozier, Commander of the USS Theodore Roosevelt, wrote and distributed a controversial letter that pleaded for help for crew members stricken by the Covid-19 virus in March of 2020. The communication was sent to several recipients and eventually found its way to the news media. The situation became front-page news and was actively debated in the media. Senior leaders believed that Captain Crozier may have avoided his chain of command for fear that his immediate leader would suppress the issue and expose the sailors to unnecessary danger. His decisions and actions that lead up to his writing of the letter are fraught with ethical dilemmas.

In this assessment you are asked to analyze ethical aspects surrounding Captain Crozier’s decision to widely disseminate the letter.

Preparation
Thoroughly research the issues using the Internet and the articles provided in Resources. You may need to conduct additional research to support your analysis.

As you can see by your research, there is a lot going on behind the scenes in this scenario. However, it is clear that the Captain of the USS Theodore Roosevelt was facing a difficult ethical situation and tried to find the best way to communicate his concerns. There are many questions that likely come to mind, such as:

What was the dilemma facing the Captain? How might he have weighed his decision?
Should the Captain have sent the message? Why or why not?
Was the content of the communication appropriate, taking into the consideration the recipient(s) of the letter? Did he distribute the letter for maximum effect?
What should he have done differently?
Did the Captain violate Navy ethical guidelines? Are his actions at odds with communication guidelines? Is that how he should be judged?
Was his punishment justified?
How do you think his crew felt? Is that relevant?
Instructions
Consider the Captain’s decision to send the letter, the manner in which the letter was sent, and the recipient(s) of the letter. Complete both parts of this assessment in a single Word document.

PART 1: ANALYZE THE SCENARIO
Analyze the ethical decision that the Captain faced as it relates to how he communicated his plea and in the context of his position. Consider the sender, receiver, message, and channel.
Analyze the primary failures and successes of the Captain’s communication strategy. Make sure to consider how the letter was distributed, the Captain’s possible intent, and the content of the letter.
If this situation had occurred in the private sector and not the military, would the outcomes have been similar or different? Defend your reasoning.
PART 2: WRITE A COMMUNICATION
Imagine that you were the commanding officer of another naval ship who had followed this sequence of events closely. Your ship’s Public Affairs Officer reports to you and is responsible for many of the ship’s external communications, and you are anxious to share your lessons learned from the USS Theodore Roosevelt situation.

Send a communication to your Public Affairs Officer that conveys and re-enforces the primary lesson(s) learned from the incident on the USS Theodore Roosevelt. Be sure you focus on the actions of the Captain. The medium is your choice, but it is also very important, so state the medium you have chosen within your message and the reason you feel it is the most appropriate medium to use. Address possible reasons such as confidentiality, tone, convention, et cetera.

Additional Requirements
Complete both parts of this assessment in a single Word document.
Written communication: Written communication is free of errors that detract from the overall message.
APA style and formatting: Resources and citations are formatted according to current APA style and formatting standards.
Font: Times New Roman, 12 point.
