Piper Banks Piper Banks is the medical director for Open Arms, a non-profit medical clinic and wellness center serving low-income patients in an urban neighborhood. On most days, Piper loves her job and the work her clinic is able to do for people in the community, but lately there has been a problem that is beyond frustrating. This past summer, the city experienced a significant measles outbreak. Thousands of people were exposed to the measles and 78 cases were confirmed. Of the 78 cases, 73 involved unvaccinated children in the city’s East African immigrant community. What Piper finds most troubling is not that the “herd immunity” was compromised, though that does trouble her. Worse, in her opinion, was the fact that members of the anti vaccination community were distributing fliers and talking to families in the affected community. The anti vax activists reportedly told people that the measles outbreak had been created by the government in order to pressure immigrant parents to vaccinate their children. One of Open Arms’ primary goals has been to counter the fear and misinformation that…

Is it Possible to Solve the Debt Crisis? Introduction Student debt refers to the loan that a learner takes from a financial provider. The money owed to the financial institution subsists while the student is an undergraduate or after their graduation. Also, student debt may accrue in case the learner withdraws from school altogether. In the past decade, the obligation owed by the learners to the lending institutions has almost tripled the previous figure owed 15 years. In 2006, the outstanding arrears were about $500 billion. However, by 2019, this figure has shot up to around $1.5 trillion (Johnson, 2019). The interest rates on the loans seem to get higher, while most of the students remain underemployed. The current situation has been described as a debt crisis because it seems impossible for the leaners to clear the money owed to the financial lenders. Currently, about 44 million individuals have student loans that are yet to be fully paid, or they have defaulted altogether. Johnson (2019) states that the current debt is projected to rise to about $3 trillion by the…
