Philosophical And Ethical Foundation

Philosophical And Ethical Foundation

Your Project for this class is a community action plan designed to alleviate or correct a public health issue in your community. Your community can be any of the following areas: your community of residence, your business, your school, your community of birth, or former communities you lived. Consider the philosophical and ethical foundations of public health presented in Chapters 1 and 2 of Public Health Ethics and how your community's issues compare to the authors' presentation of global public health issues all communities face.

This week, for your assignment, tell us the public health issue and the community you are considering using for your Project.

In your paper, discuss your public health idea. Incorporate at least two references from a newspaper, trade magazine, website, or peer-reviewed journal that speak to the public health issue you have selected.

One reference must tell about the specific public health problem in the community you have chosen to examine.

The second reference must offer up a potential solution to the type of public health issue you have identified (it does not need to refer to your specific issue in the community you are working on).

Discuss any ethical, moral, or political responsibility, as described in Chapters 1 and 2 of Public Health Ethics, that you feel your community has to address. 

350-450 words excluding references, APA format and a minimum of 3 references
