Since ratification of the U.S. Constitution, relations among state governments and the national government have grown to be much more interdependent. Whereas states once enjoyed greater autonomy (dual federalism), the additional demands placed on government (at all levels) has fostered an evolution of federalism, whereby the federal government now plays a much more pronounced role in local and state affairs, with respect to a whole host of issues (including healthcare, education, public safety, transportation, etc.).Describe block grants, categorical grants, and unfunded mandates. How do they demonstrate fiscal federalism?Explain which funding mechanism states prefer. Why? Which funding mechanism does the federal government prefer? Why?Describe how both state and federal governments participate in the provision of medical care to low-income residents.In Arizona, low-income residents receive healthcare coverage through the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS). How is AHCCCS funded (e.g., categorical grants)? What are the eligibility requirements, and who sets them? How do the basic conditions set by the federal government constrain AHCCCS?Assess the effectiveness of federal aid to state and local communities, particularly as it relates to healthcare coverage.

At the time, we had been together for just about four years and him deciding toenlist was a total shock for me. In the years past, he talked about wanting to go to college topursue a career in video game programming; however, that completely changed when he spoketo a United States Marines recruiter at our high school career fair. He started going to therecruitment office close to his house to speak with a recruiter about joining. As soon as heexpressed interest in possibly joining, his recruiter was determined to deter his mind away fromgoing to college and stress that he should join the Marines instead. I questioned this since he wasonly eighteenat the time and did not really have a clear idea of what he wanted to do with hislife. I felt like his recruiter was pushing him into making a decision that he was not totally sureof. However, his recruiter’s job was to get him to enlist by whatever means necessary, so that isexactly what she did. On July 25th, 2016, my fiancé officially enlisted into the Marines andhopped on a plane to head to three months of military boot camp at Marine Corps Recruit Depot,San Diego. After he was gone I was left wondering, are eighteen year olds really mature enoughto make a decision that will greatly impact their lives and the people around them? Thisexperience has caused me to ask the question, should the United States military be allowed totarget teenagers in its recruitment efforts?The first source I decided to look at was an academic journal I found in the librarydatabases. The journal title immediately caught my eye, so I figured that it would be a goodplace to start. The article titled, “Should We End Military Recruiting in High Schools as a Matterof Child Protection and Public Health?”, was written by Amy Hagopian and Kathy Barker. Itwas published intheAmerican Journal of Public Healthin January of 2011. Amy Hagopian hasher PhD and works in the Department of Global Health at the University of Washington.Hagopian was also the president of the Garfield High School Parent Teacher Association from2004 to 2006. Kathy Barker has her PhD as well and is a science writer. Along with Hagopian,Barker is also on the board of the Garfield High School Parent Teacher Association in Seattle,Washington. Considering these credentials, I knew these writers would be trustworthy sources ofinformation.In this article, the authors start by explaining the public health issues for young recruits.Hagopian and Barker explain how “the bulk of newly enlisted military personnel aredevelopmentally in late adolescence--a time of relatively robust physical health but notnecessarily complete brain development or a wise time to introduce high levels of stress” (19). Itis scientifically proven that a person’s brain is not fully developed until the age of twenty-five,therefore, introducing eighteen year olds to this kind of stress can cause major problems. Theauthors explain how high levels of stress can cause adolescents to be more likely to developmental disorders, like alcohol abuse, anxiety syndromes, depression, and post-traumatic stressdisorder. Studies have shown that “younger soldiers had 30% to 60% more substanceabusedisorders than did older soldiers, and younger women in particular had the highest incidence ofattempted suicide or self-inflicted injuries” (19). This statistic presents a vital problem withrecruiting young people who are still maturing physicallyand psychologically. The article alsotalks about the efforts of the Garfield High School Parent Teacher Association. Hagopian andBarker, along with other members of this association, tried to put a stop to military recruiting inGarfield High School. Once the press got ahold of this news, the story spread like wildfire.Ultimately, the Seattle school board worked with students and activists to come up with ahandful of rules to be put in place. The school board and these activists decided that “recruitervisits were limited to one per semester, visits were to be announced in advance, and militaryrecruiters were no longer free to roam through the school building” (21). Although Garfield HighSchool worked hard to try and stop military recruiting, it is something that can not be easilyavoided.While reading this source, I was intrigued by the topics Hagopian and Barker brought up.I am currently majoring in psychology, so all of the psychological aspects they brought up in thisarticle were ones that I was familiar with. It is important to know that at eighteen a person is intheir peak stage of development and their brain is still maturing. I agree with the fact thatintroducing high levels of stress to young people who are still maturing can cause problems. Thestatistics they put in the article about the rates of mental illnesses on young and old soldiersdefinitely helps reinforce this belief as well. I appreciate how the authors took a stand in theirown community to try and warn Garfield High School about the health issues that militaryrecruiting can have on young adolescents. Their efforts to try and ban military recruiting to keeptheir students out of harm's way was definitely inspirational to me.Although I believe a lot of the important information shared in this article, there are somepoints brought up that I question. I question the point Hagopian and Barker make about recruitersbeing like predators. The authors explain how the behaviors of recruiters are remarkably similarto those of childpredators who use “predatory grooming” to gain a child’s trust. While childpredators and recruiters may both use persuasion, I would not go as far to say that the wordsshould be used in conjunction. In my opinion, I feel like comparing the two terms isa little farfetched. Although recruiters do use persuasive measures to try and make people enlist, they arenot doing so in an illegal or abusive manner.Overall, this source helped contribute many important ideas to my research question. Ilearned moreabout the health effects that can be caused by high stress environments at a youngage. Also, I was able to see statistics of how many young soldiers end up with mental healthissues, which was far more than that of the older soldiers. I enjoyed how the article talked aboutGarfield High School’s efforts to try and ban military recruiters from coming to their school. Itwas interesting to see the outcome of a school who took a stand to make sure their students werenot being taken advantage of. For my nextsource, I would like to look into more of thepsychological issues and health issues that can be caused by enlisting at such a young age when aperson’s brain is not completely developed.Works CitedHagopian, Amy and Kathy Barker.
