Essential Questions Explained

Considering and evaluating essential questions will both aid in your understanding of our course topics and prepare you for the process of developing and writing your portfolio project.  In this discussion you must respond to two (2) of the following essential questions. Once you have responded to the essential questions, identify an additional question you have about the course topics that will help in the research process.

Choose two of the following in addition to creating a question of your own:

1.   What is health?

2.   How do we determine the value and quality of life?

3.   Is it desirable for health to evolve?

4.   Should we strive to make people “better than normal?”

5.   Is healthcare a right or a commodity?

Please respond and give your rationale for each question in 2-3 sentences to complete your initial discussion post.

After you have submitted your discussion post, please respond to two of your classmates' posts and provide them with thoughts and feedback about their essential questions.
