Inner city school
systems
§ Controversy: Public schools receive money
based on the taxes paid in the area of the school. Because inner cities are poor, less money is
taken in, and therefore the schools suffer.
This creates cycle of poverty that the people in inner city schools are
trapped in.
§ Stand: Poorer school districts should receive a
substance budget rather than budget cuts because of low test scores. Test scores should not affect a school’s
budget.
§ Research interest:
o Racial ratios in the schools
o Effect of
o Current problems in school districts

Flu shots
§ Some say that flu shots should be
required. Others say that the shots only
lead to antibiotic resistance and stronger strains of the flu.
§ Stand: I believe use of flu shots should be
discouraged and carefully regulated.
§ Research interest:
o Effect of used of the short: short term vs.
long term
o Rate of people who get shot and flu

Nursing home solutions
§ Elderly are often neglected in nursing
homes. The staff is too then for the
number of patience and families often have little time to visit, yet little is
being done to improve the situation.
§ Stand: Nursing homes should be required to
have a higher staff to patient ratio. Facilities
should encourage the enjoyment of life through activities on the patients’ levels
and proper facilities.
§ Research Interest:
o Hospice’s conditions vs. traditional nursing
home’s conditions
o Cost of care; impact of more staff on cost
o Length of lives placed in nursing homes; what
effects this
