Bodenheimer and Grumbach (2009) express that all healthcare systems strive to ensure patients receive the health care they require in a suitable place and time. However, they may all accomplish this through different methods to one another. Two distinct formats a country may operate under is the Regionalized Model and the Dispersed Model (Bodenheimer & Grumbach, 2009). The Regionalized Model is a structured system where the primary, secondary and tertiary levels of care are discrete, and primary care is the foundation (Bodenheimer & Grumbach, 2009).

In his memoir, Where the Wind Leads, Vinh Chung demonstrates the theme that times of despair and hardship will eventually pass, but it is the motivation to succeed which will make that time fruitful. While relaying the story of his family’s past, Chung gives an overall theme of success and prosperity which accompanies the distress and conflict brought about by the encompassing Vietnam War. As Chung stated, “[W]hat I do know is that the same pressure that can crush coal into dust can also turn carbon into diamond . . . Tough times produce tough people” (14). Though this theme of success can be grounded in one’s desire to prosper, Chung shows a deeper desire from which this success stems.
Raising the Roof is a Canadian not-for-profit organization dedicated to ending homelessness. The first charity of its kind, Raising the Roof has been working to create long-term solutions to the homelessness crisis in Canada since 1996 (About Us, n.d.). The majority of Raising the Roof’s campaigning is dedicated to bringing awareness on the issue of homelessness through collaborations with stakeholders, education, and the investment in local and national social programs (About Us, n.d.). The topic of homelessness is one that is often left in the shadows of local and national politics. The sensitivity of the subject requires that Raising the Roof fight even harder to garner the attention of their audiences, and elicit both emotion and positive action through their storytelling strategies.
Describe and evaluate two definitions of abnormality [16 marks] One definition of abnormality comes from statistical infrequency. We typically define what is seen as ‘normal’ by referring to statistical values. For example, from statistical evidence, we can be informed of things such as the average shoe size of 11-year olds, the average age of a first-time mother, and so on. As we can define what is ‘normal’ through statistics, we can also define what is abnormal. For instance, it is seen as abnormal for a first-time mother to be over the age of 40 or under the age of 20.
Acquiring a job, whether it be in a doctor’s office or a fast-food restaurant, can transform a person.

In addition, many governments in the world set up the welfare or societal care programs, putting a dignity of the people in the centre. The dignity of the people is one of the key features in such programs as it defines the success or failure of any government’s public undertaking. Truly, care receiver should feel the atmosphere of where they are counted every time from the caregiver or their supported staff.

Statistics is the practice or science of collecting and analyzing information from numerical data. And in theory, people lie with statistics every day. When a person lies with statistics, they are unaware of or purposely misrepresenting statistical information and data, therefore making incorrect interpretations or assumptions about what a set of data infers. Without a particular amount of knowledge, statistics can be very misleading without certain background in knowing how to interpret it.
