Global Health Ethics In this individual assignment, you will be exploring the specific ethical issues related to the social determinants of health that you discussed in the Unit 4 assignment. For example, if your chosen country is Ethiopia, you could discuss the issue of justice as it relates to the social determinant of environment and health. As Kebede-Francis notes, the lack of water in Ethiopia with the subsequent food shortages is due directly to lack of governance of the resourcesnot to a lack of rain (p. 126). In this example, you would explore the governance structure that results in poor resource management, how the country applies the models of social justice, the influencing cultural mores of the country, and the application of the principles from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. You will analyze the ethical issues surrounding your selected social determinants of health, incorporating the following major points. Later, in Unit 7, you will share your information with your team and use the information to develop your Applied Business Strategy Final Project in Unit 8.
