    “The social determinants are conditions in which people born, grow, live, work and age, which are shaped by the distribution of money, power and resources at global, national and local levels” (Who, 2017).

    Revere Hill Case Study

    By placing in plastic red tiles, the City removes cultural property and replaces it with something that is completely out of context and as the BHAC’s lawsuit alleges, disrupts the community. The fact that cultural property would favor preservation over disability access shows a problem with thinking about decisions in terms of cultural property in that it largely eliminates thinking about other groups that are affected by the decision in terms of impact and use of the property as well as things surrounding the property. This is not a situation in which two or more groups claim the cultural property; it is a situation where the cultural property is given precedence over people. This does not look at the best interest of all people affected by the decision regarding property, but rather the preservation of the property itself, even if it comes at a cost to people makes it troubling to simply rely on this to make property decisions. Overall, looking at disability accessibility versus the preservation of cultural property does not yield easy answers and largely overlooks the need to use the property moving forward, which points to not looking at…

    School Voucher System Analysis

    Recently, attention has been given to plans for improving the public schools by allowing parents to choose where their children attend school through a school voucher system. The education voucher system exists when a government provides payment to families that allow their children to attend a private or public school of their choice. The payment is in the form of a voucher that can be given directly to the parents of the child, or indirectly to the school of choice. The purpose of the voucher systems is “to increase parental choice, promote competition and allow lower income families access to private education” (West 1997, p.83). The implementation of the voucher system would force poorly run schools and inadequate teachers to improve their…
