Option 6: Option 6: “Promote Population Health” – Without making any changes in the existing health care insurance and delivery system, enact a set of government interventions to improve health status by mitigating detrimental aspects of the social determinants of health (these include social-economic status, nutrition, education, housing, the “built” environment, etc.).

Students will research a government public policy that affects business and/or industry. Nike is my selected one. Students will write a seven-to-ten-page position paper on their chosen policy, providing a background for the policy and explaining how the policy affects (or will affect) firms within relevant industry(ies). Students should address whether the policy positively or negatively affects the profitability of firms and whether or not the policy should remain in place (or passed if it is a policy that is currently being debated, but not yet passed). Students should also address alternative policy options, indicating whether or not those policies would be better or worse. Students will prepare a professional presentation based on their policy research. Note: Each student will choose a unique policy and the policy choice cannot be the same as covered in the debate assignments. The paper topic will be posted on MyNorthland and approved by the instructor.
