Our positions in society, our experiences, and our identities all have an impact on how we may perceive and react to racism and other barriers to achieving health equity. What experiences or identities influence how you think about race, ethnicity or the relationship between racism and health?

Instructions
· First, read 
at least one of the articles in the module, and 
watch one of the webinars/documentaries. Try to pick something that will help you learn something new!

· In 3-4 pages answer the following questions. All except the final question can be answered before you participate in the discussion board or in class discussion.
1.
1. Our positions in society, our experiences, and our identities all have an impact on how we may perceive and react to racism and other barriers to achieving health equity. What experiences or identities influence how you think about race, ethnicity or the relationship between racism and health? Do you remember witnessing, hearing about or experiencing anything as a health care provider or as a patient that you think of as an example of how racism might influence access to care or health outcomes?
2. Which article would you recommend to a colleague? Why or why not? What was the most important “take home message” of the article to you?
3. Would you recommend the film or webinar you watched to a colleague? Why or why not? What was the most important take home message for you?
4. Answer this question AFTER the discussion thread or in class discussion- What ideas from your own experience with observing the impact of racism about opportunities to make changes will you carry forward into your own workplace, future practice or daily life?

Cracked Egg Game: There are a dozen eggs in a basket; some are hard boiled and some are raw. The object of this game is for the user to guess the number of hard-boiled eggs prior to playing the game. The computer then simulates cracking all 12 eggs, using a random number 0 or 1 to simulate raw or hard boiled. The number 0 should represent raw eggs and the number 1 should represent hard boiled. The computer must keep track of the number of hard-boiled eggs. At the conclusion of cracking all 12 eggs, the actual number of hard boiled is compared to the user’s guess, and whether the user won or lost is given as output.For this project, you will write code in Coral for the programming gameDetermine the variables and relevant data types of each variable. Consider the necessary variables required to implement the logic of your game, as well as the relevant data type (i.e., integer or float) of each variable.

Consider the necessary variables required to implement the logic of your game, as well as the relevant data type (i.e., integer or float) of each variable.Initialize the variables using appropriate data values. Where necessary, assign an initial value to each variable.Set branches that use conditionals to define the logic of the game. This must meet the requirements of the program. You may use the following types of statements to accomplish this:IFIF-ELSEIF-ELSE-IFStatements must also use the appropriate relational operators, which are as follows:== (equals)!= (not equal)< (less than)> (greater than)<= (less than or equal)>= (greater than or equal)Create loops to define the logic, flow, and sequence of the game. Cracked Egg Game: This game will include looping 12 times. Determine what loop to use, then execute it based on program requirementsApply necessary arithmetic operations.

There will be two discussion questions listed below. respond to one of the discussion questions  Support your answers with examples and research and cite your sources using APA format.
Discussion Question 1:
Many would argue that in a capitalistic economy, the government cannot provide goods and services as efficiently as the private sector. For example, most arguments for and against the Affordable Health Care Act center on the efficiency of the government in managing and operating a health care system. Do you think the government can provide goods and services to the public as efficiently as or better than the private sector? Justify your answer.
Discussion Question 2:
In a free-market economy, firms face some degree of uncertainty, or risk. Some of this risk is controllable, and some is not. Identify the different types of risk that a business might encounter in the marketplace and identify whether they are controllable or uncontrollable. Justify your answer.
