WEEK 6 COURSE PROJECT: PRESENTATION SCRIPT
The next step in the course project is to develop a script that you will use to record the narration for your presentation. Include headings for the slide number. Your final presentation should have 5-8 slides (not including title slide, conclusion slide, or references slide). Here are a few tips:
Address all requirements for the content.
Balance the amount of content for each slide. If there is too much content on one slide, try to break it up into two slides or consider where you can be more concise with your wording.
Include citations where needed (e.g., quoted material and paraphrased/summarized ideas from a source that are not common knowledge). Note: When you get to the recording phase – you will need to read your in-text citations aloud, but you do not need to read your references slide.
Requirements
Length: minimum of 3 pages (not including title page or references page)
1-inch margins
Double spaced
12-point Times New Roman font
Title page
References page (minimum of 8 scholarly sources)

Martin Luther King Jr.
Martin Luther King Jr., a scholar, and a Baptist minister had a significant positive influence on a civil rights movement for economic, social and political change in the 20th century (Nayar, 2016). He was focused on bringing about political, economic, and social changes in the Black-American community as his significant aspects of the issue of racism that was associated with it. These aspects had affected the American people for long, whereby people were classified according to their skin colour. This was rampant even in the public transport sector, whereby the blacks were massively discriminated. King saw these developments to be stumbling blocks towards achieving social, economic, and political goals in the United States (Owens Sr, 2019). He then got himself involved in the fight for human rights for all American citizens.
Martin Luther King Jrs Ideas
Martin Luther King Jr. was a determined civil rights activist who took up the challenge to fight racism that was considered as the major problem facing the U.S. in the 1950s. He used his influence in the church as a leader of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) to offer inspirational speeches whenever he had a chance to do so. As a young man, he led his fellow black Americans in the famous Montgomery Bus Boycott, which lasted for 382 days (Nayar, 2016). He had skilful rhetoric energy that helped him in the urge for equality for all races in the United States. He was a skilled scholar whose equality managed to engage many people across the world in the fight for equality in the United States of America.
Effect of Martin Luther King Jr.s Ideas
King played an essential role in ensuring that the legal isolation of the African-American citizens in the United States of America came to an end. He was determined to ensure that all Americans enjoyed equal rights while in the United States of America since they were also human beings who needed to be treated with dignity. Also, his efforts led to the formulation of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the 1965 Voting Rights Act (Nayar, 2016). He also worked closely with the black American students to fight for the rights in various public institutions and places. He managed to meet with various civil rights and religious leaders who spearheaded lectures on race-related issues.
The Context in Which Martin Luther King Jr. Proposed His Ideas
Kings participation in the SCLC organization provided a good platform for over sixty ministers to address people nationwide on race-related issues. He sponsored more than 20 mass meetings in 1958 in major cities across the South of the United States to register all eligible black voters. King used his communication skills to deliver various speeches in various parts of the United States. For instance, he gave a persuasive speech, I Have a Dream, which touched many people across the world (Owens Sr, 2019). The speech changed the mindset of people who felt that they had a role in ensuring human rights and equality in the United States.
The Response of The Government and People
The Federal Government of the day was not friendly to Kings efforts. It felt that he was there to fight it hence they used the police machinery to sabotage his actions and meetings. He was arrested in several occasions and charged in various law courts across the United States. Even though the Government was threatening him, he managed to convey his message across the world, which triggered support for his release from time to time. For instance, he wrote a letter from Birmingham jail to express the torture that he was subjected to as he strived to fight for equality in American society (Owens Sr, 2019). On the other side, citizens supported his actions for equality in the United States. He received moral and financial support from all black Americans as he fought for his course. Some white American activists joined him to push for equality in their society. These efforts helped him to achieve his goals in the long run.
Conclusion
Conclusively, Kings ideas and actions influenced the changes in the political, social, cultural, and economic spheres, which helped the Americans to realize that they had a responsibility to ensure America moved forward. Through Kings efforts, the US Supreme Court governed that the separation on buses was unlawful in 1956. Black Americans were allowed to travel comfortably as their fellow whites, which was not the case before the Montgomery bus boycott. He achieved his dreams of engaging all people in the United States irrespective of the skin colour in the building of a new United States, where humanity was paramount. In the present world, Kings efforts are being recognized as the pillar that changed the economy of the United States by encouraging an all-inclusive society.

Mental health patients, with nowhere else to go, are overwhelming emergency departments
.
The main author, Anne Zink, MD and medical director of emergency medicine in a medical center in Palmer, Alaska, uses data from Mat-su Regional Medical Center to attest to why emergency departments are not the place for mental health patients to be. She finds that her hypothesis is very strong in transferring patients from general emergency departments to regional psychiatric emergency services. The length of boarding time for patients was reduced by 80 percent due to this efficiency certain hospitals have. In contrast, another study done by Genesight listed below states that its not the hospital that is the problem, its the mental health emergency in America.

According to the author Basch and the New York Times, patients in the emergency room spend an average of 3 hours of their time in there. ERs are often over their capacity and too overtaxed which results in a lack of psychiatrists and an even larger lack in psychiatric care that patients need. The problem is also driven by too few outpatient resources and inpatient treatment options for mental health patients.

Authors of the Health Affair Blog writes about how tackling the mental health care crisis is a big issue we face in the world today. There is a limited demand of effective processes and services within the emergency department and this is leading to outrageous outcomes and experience of care for patients. This is not a new problem that we are facing, but it is increasingly getting worse and the healthcare system is in dire need of new ideas and system redesign.

As the author, Shefali Luthra states But a national shortage of medical specialists and inpatient facilities means that many still go untreated- despite national efforts to improve mental health care (Luthra, p. 1, 2016). Evidence states that when a patient ends up in the ER for a crisis, there is usually no good place they receive treatment after being released from the hospital. Patients who are being treated for other conditions in the hospital, other than mental health issues, will usually be released in one to two days and follow up with their doctor after that. But for psychiatric patients, they dont always have that option because of the large gap in the mental health care setting.

According to research done by the American College of Emergency Physicians, the shortage of medical professionals is causing a traffic jam for those who are seeking treatment for mental health issues in Emergency Departments. Many say that children are the most affected by these barriers and one in five children are diagnosed with a mental health condition every year. With the combination of economic, political, and logistic factors this has contributed to a growing crisis of healthcare and demand of certain services for patients within.
