Power and Status Theory of Power and Status Kemper (2006) defines the theory of power and status as a development from individual interaction with others clarifying that when individuals direct their behavior to one another, power and status are the two dimensions that come in play. A philosophical point of view asserted this theory from its earliest development. Kemper uses the works of early pre-Socratic Greek philosophers like Plato and Empedocles, which have been developed and changed over time by different thinkers. Power, as perceived by many, is a position with authority, control, and supremacy over others.

Blissful Living Chapter 7 The title “Connection to All Living Things” ass used by the author is demonstrative of the nature of human relationships in a universe comprising of other creatures, particularly fellow humans. Notably, every individual, as an entity, is affected by the presence of all other people, whether implied or expressly. In this regard, the actions of a person, irrespective of how autonomous they may appear, are in one way or another influenced by past or present interactions with others. Therefore, the writer of the chapter chose the title to validate how human beings and their relationships are connected to other living creatures.

Wasteful Spending in Healthcare             Wasteful spending in healthcare in the United States is a significant source of concern for both policymakers and the American public. It is estimated that the nation spends over $3.5 trillion on healthcare annually. Unfortunately, up to 20 percent of this amount could end up wasted. Indeed, the annual costs of wasteful spending compare to the government’s spending on Medicare, and these costs exceed total government spending on primary and secondary education. Thus the nation’s economy would greatly benefit from curtailing these losses. All the sources of wasteful spending in the health sector must be closely identified to avoid further damage. Among the main culprits of wasteful spending in healthcare include administrative costs, exorbitant prices (including the prices of drugs), and hospital consolidation. Concerning these three factors, this discussion aims to establish the source of inefficiency in these critical areas. The possible solutions for addressing the issues entirely and permanently will also be provided. The arguments presented in this discussion will defend the proposition that – despite having the world’s most expensive healthcare system, the…
