What is a strong and clear thesis statement about poverty in the US?
Here is my intro to my essay but not sure if thesis (last sentence is good)
Poverty is about not having enough money to meet basic needs such as food, clothing and shelter. However, poverty is much more than just not having enough money. It can be not having a job that pays more than minimum wage, those living under a single parent household, or those whose head of the household is unemployed. It is fear for the future and basically living one day at a time or paycheck to paycheck. Not to mention, when poor people are excluded or labeled as being a certain way or having certain negative tendencies within a society, in the end it can lead to damaging consequences for society. In other words, we all pay the price for poverty. Something needs to be done to help the poor get out of poverty and improve our economy and society in the United States.

You are a community leader with a long experience in fighting for quality improvement in health care. The new CEO of the most important hospital (nonprofit) in your city received the mandate from the Board of Directors (BOD) to set a formal patient and family advisory council (PAC). This council will report directly to the BOD. Additionally, the BOD has appointed you as the first Chair of the PAC.
You are told that the hospital has serious problems in quality and performance.
Following the Five C’s rationale
please this is a health care system question not nursing or psychology.

Week One Discussion: Change & Innovation in Nursing
Initial Post:
1. Obtain a scholarly nursing journal on Innovation and Change in Clinical Nursing Practice or Nursing Education. Download the article (you will post it for your peers to review)
2. Write your Literature Review (almost like an abstract), summarizing the key concepts presented in the article (you do not need to report statistical findings or elaborate on the type of research conducted). Make sure to identify the problem/need for change/rationale for change, the setting (practice or education) identified, and how the results/findings could be implemented in the identified setting. Limit to 1-2 paragraphs- quality over quantity!
3. Attach the article to your discussion post
Respond to at least ONE peer, and include the following:
1. After reviewing the article, identify 3 salient (relevant) points presented in the article in terms of the change proposed and the setting for the change, include a rationale/evidence for each point. For example, if you review an article about the implementation of simulation in nursing education to simulate clinical preparedness, you might conclude that: According to __________ (year), 65% nursing students in the study reported that simulation helped them learn psychomotor tasks better than the classroom environment and they felt more prepared when performing those skills in the clinical setting. When the simulation has been included in the curriculum at Stratford, it helped me feel better prepared and more confident during the clinical for the course.
2. Develop a research question (not a PICOT question) based upon the findings/results of the article. For example, if you review an article about the implementation of simulation in nursing education to stimulate clinical preparedness, your research question could focus on the implementation of simulation in new grad unit-based orientation programs.

Environmental science: agree on biodiversity metrics to track from space
Objective 1 Based on the qualitative nature of this study, both the general and specific objectives shall entail measurable qualitative variables. The first objective is: to establish the effects of leadership on externality regulation. In arriving at the appropriate action for this objective, several approaches can be incorporated. This involves getting collaborative efforts from both the government and the public. The government, however, should play a greater role in this. This is because of the huge volumes of financial resources involved. The outcome can be realized after six months with the proper supervision of relevant stakeholders. The appropriate scale for measuring this is the rate of output growth rate or decline if other factors are held constant.
Objective 2 Due to leadership and energy connectivity linkages, the second objective would be: to discover the effects of leadership on energy. The appropriate action in this regard is controlled on energy production and consumption. This is a mandate of the government. This is because the competitive nature of people cannot allow for willful energy regulations (Skidmore et al. 2015). Resources involved in completing this action are finances and natural resources such as minerals. Since energy raw materials take time to transform, the best time to measure the impacts of this action would be after one year. An indicator that can be used in measuring the effectiveness of this is the rate of growth of health hazards.
Objective 3 Given the magnitude of transport issues and leadership, the third objective for this study would be: to identify the effects of leadership on transport. Selective infrastructural development is the best action for this. The government can take full control of this. This is due to the volume of financial resources involved. Infrastructural projects take time. Therefore, a period not less than a year but not exceeding four years is appropriate before the impacts of this action can be measured. The measurement indicator on this is the rate of output growth in the selected areas.
You mention that your objective is "to identify the effects of leadership on transport." Knowing the effects of leadership on transport, how can this help you improve or lesson the impact from environmental aspects of your chosen organization?

impact on the health of our population and our communities is critical for health care and human service professionals in the field. To prepare for and complete this discussion forum: Find a peer reviewed journal article that addresses health disparities or disparities in health outcomes of a particular health condition/concern (i.e., obesity, breast cancer, high blood pressure, infant mortality, etc.). A quick search of the library databases using, for example, the keywords Health Disparities in Breast Cancer, will produce a wealth of information from which to choose your article. Second, in a post of a minimum of 150 words, give a brief overview of the article and discuss what you think the most important take home point is. Try to pinpoint the underlying causes of the disparity and how it is impacting the health of minority or vulnerable populations. Do NOT simply read and paste the abstract. Read the entire article as I may ask you specific questions about it in the forum. Please check to make sure that you are not duplicating another student’s article in the forum.
