What are the major problems (Cite at least 3) in the United States’ health care system? Why hasn’t it been “fixed”? (Completely and comprehensively responds with detailed explanation.)

 

Sample Solution

In the movie, because the team is multicultural; has difference in age and members come from different backgrounds, they judge each other(48:22). This can create a feeling of insecurity within the members and can prevent them from expressing their ideas and opinions even if they’re good. Which may ultimately prevent breakthroughs.

The team eventually bonds from a night out o drinking. This puts the characters in a relaxed state(I’m not defending anything) and they explore different sides to themselves that they may not have known about. This ironically leads them to making a breakthrough in their task.

Billy and Nick are much older than the other memebers and they are not respected by their members at first because the younger members feel that they are “washed” and serve no purpose. Billy and Nick also find it difficult to relate to their partners because they were not born in the digital age like them, but they are optimistic which is inspirational.

When Graham’s team loses the internship and doesn’t get the job, he blames everyone else in his team which tells us that he is a sore loser and not a good leader. Sometimes one needs to accept their losses and learn from them instead of blaming everyone else and not taking accountability.

Conclusion

The movie was not very funny for a comedy, however it did express many of the business themes that we learn about throughout our high school career, such as the three topics discussed throughout the assignment as well as others such as Business Environments, Marketing, Human Capital and Investment.

By doing this project, we were able to apply the different scenarios to topics that we learn about, and it improved our Higher Order Thinking(HOT) component of assessments, which is critical during business reports.
