Country Report
Your task is to write a one-page country report where you review another country’s health and financial
condition.
You should start this report with a brief Overview.
TEACHER EXAMPLE: Everything in italics are just examples using Jamaica as my country:Overview:
Jamaica is an island country of almost 3 million people located in the Caribbean Sea. Jamaicans speak a
patois language heavily influenced by English since the country was a colony from the United Kingdom for
200 years. While poverty, unemployment, and low GDP per capita are issues facing the country, Jamaica
has shown steady improvement on the health and financial outcomes of its population…
Next, have one section on Health and one on Wealth. You can use bullet points in some areas but use
mostly full sentences in the report. Feel free to include tables/graphs/charts/figures as an appendix.
TEACHER EXAMPLE: Health: Jamaica lacks a comprehensive healthcare system. People living outside
major cities have no access to doctors or clinics. Jamaicans live an average of XX year and infant mortality
is at XX per 100,000 deliveries. …
TEACHER EXAMPLE: Wealth: While industry and agriculture are important sectors of the Jamaican
industry, the service sectors accounts for about half of the country’s GDP. Mining is also a strong part of the
its economy. Jamaica GDP is per capita is at $XXX/year.
Finish your report by adding a section that represents something interesting about your country’s health or
wealth that we – the US – can learn from.
Use your own headings.
Some possible information to discuss/review (this is not an exhaustive list – feel free to ad or discount what
you find relevant or irrelevant:
Type of healthcare system
Mortality / Child Mortality Causes of Death / Infectious Diseases Hospitals / Beds / Doctors per Capita
Health Expenses
Food habits / Diet Sedentary life / physical activity Alcohol and Tobacco usage
Standard of Living / GDP per capita / Economy Unemployment
Savings rate
Retirement plans
Use of credit cards
Buying a home or a car/Credit market Violence / Property crime
Poverty rate / Homelessness
Feel free to use an extra page for references/figures/tables/etc. – the one-page maximum is for the written
(text) part of the memo.

Applications of mathematics to science commonly require a reduction of complex physical phenomena to
quantifiable models that correctly represent only a few essential characteristics of the systems under
consideration. Driven by the power of mathematical modeling modern science entered into an age of
unparalleled progress, and hence scientific reductionism came to be regarded as the golden key that
unlocks the
secrets of the universe. Given this historical background you are to formulate your own position concerning
the
effects of reductionism on Western culture and on the relation between faith and science.
Suggested Questions for Exploration:

What are some cultural phenomena that demonstrate the influence of scientific reductionism? How has
reductionism shaped our understanding of human nature? How has it affected our understanding of the
nature of
God? What are the psychological and spiritual consequences? Should we strive to overcome reductionism
and if
so how? What is a proper Biblical perspective? How would we reconcile a negative attitude towards
reductionism with its undeniable success in revealing truths about the physical universe?
A basic grading rubric will be as follows:

1. State and describe your position or argument.
   • Papers must start with the following statement, “The argument that I’m supporting in this
   paper is…followed by your position or argument”. Any paper that starts with any other beginning
   will be considered to have no argument.
   • Describe what this position would look like in a practical sense. (How might this affect a persons
   way of thinking, or acting? How might this affect a church’s policies or activities? How might
   it affect the way subjects are taught in Christian schools and universities?)
2. Provide extensive argumentation and support for your view.
   • Make use of the concepts explored in the course as well as outside sources to:
   • Explain the reasons for your position
   • Defend your choice in a coherent, organized, and well-supported fashion
   • Identify and Respond to possible counter-arguments
