Social Contract and Integration
A social contract is something that can be either explicitly or implicitly stated in the bylaws of any place where individuals gather for work, entertainment, or consumer based activities. In regard to whether or not certain traditions or beliefs should be restricted so that a more comprehensive social contract should be achieved, I do not agree. Unless for some reason certain traditions or beliefs can cause harm of any kind to others in the setting discussed, either mentally, emotionally, and of course physically all beliefs and traditions should be welcomed so as to become as culturally proficient as possible.
Impact of Health Care Delivery
The impact that social contracts and compliance have in the health care delivery system within this country is simply what this country needs the most, competition. If certain organizations are able to be inclusive and culturally competent to a point where they draw consumers away from the “big brother” in their marketplace, then it is good for everyone (Dafny et al., 2016). This is something that can be done by proper hiring of staff after getting to know the potential clientele base and the needs that they desire. Consumers have a huge part to play in the lowering of health care costs by not defaulting to the first health care facility that shows up after one Google search. If these consumers go to other facilities with more cultural competence they may find similar care for even lower prices (Pearl, 2015). By having employees on all levels be culturally competent we open avenues for our consumers to receive better care at lower prices which should be the ultimate goal of any organization due to its reciprocating effect.
