This God Committee made me think of the events that occurred
at Swedish Hospital in Seattle. In the 1960's, a doctor named
Belding Scribner developed a method that allowed patients
permanent access to hemodialysis- a method of purifying the
blood for patients with kidney disease. This method paved the
way for countless patients to receive life-saving dialysis.
However, the hospital could not handle the tremendous number
of patients trying to get into the hospital for treatment, so the
hospital developed a very controversial way to choose the
patients to receive treatment... they developed what became
known as "The God Committee". This committee, made up of
members of the community, was set in place to alleviate the
physician's responsibility for making the tough decisions. The
committee consisted of a minister, a lawyer, a housewife, a
labor leader, a state employee, a banker, and a doctor. They
were all unpaid and all took their job very seriously.

credit card and cash. Now if I lose the cash i will be out of luck
so I have to keep things close. After my wallet was stolen I now
no longer carry big purses either. Its important to protect wjo
you are because once people have stolen your identity it's very
hard to come back from. Especially when its involving credit.
Dropping a score happens quick. Gaining a score is slow.

In order to protect my personal information, I don’t enter my
personal information in on websites or give it to other people. I
also keep any and all of my personal documents in a fireproof
safe in my home. Lastly, I always make sure to shred all
paperwork that we are getting rid of then I take it directly to the
recycling center. Unfortunately in this day and age, there is
always a chance your identity can be stolen even if you take all
possible precautions. If my identity was stolen, I would have to
go through a few steps to minimize the damage done. First I
would call my bank and the place in which my identity was
being used and notify them of the fraud. Then I would call
TransUnion, Equifax, and Experian and put a fraud alert on my
social security number and request my credit reports from all
three agencies. Lastly, I would continually monitor my credit on
Credit Karma to ensure that no fraudulent transactions were
showing on it. I could also employ a company to monitor my
credit as well, but those can be costly.

Immigrant women in the United States had a hard time adjusting
to the life of an American. They had a rough time finding
employment causing them to have a hard time being able to
afford to have a home or even purchase food. They also had a
hard time getting married and raising a family of there own.
Most of the immigrant women thought that coming to America
would help them establish a good life because of all the
opportunities, but they were in for a rude awakening. At this
time in history women did not have many rights. Education was
hard to come by and so were jobs.
Settlement houses were a way to help women fight for equal
opportunities as men. With these houses they were able to make

4. money by having a daycare's and also used them for learning
such as the English language.

Immigrant women in the United States comprise most of all
U.S. immigrants, start businesses at higher rates than American
women, and are often the ones that push hardest in their
families to become American citizens. Immigrant women often
have the double expectation of building new communities while
concurrently maintaining the home country’s culture and values
in the U.S.
Immigrants often faced the prejudices of their immigrant
predecessors and unfair business and labor practices.
Additionally, welcomed from rural and less developed areas and
performed unskilled labor. They faced harsh conditions in these
unskilled jobs. They fought these conditions by joining unions
found that many established unions would not accept foreign
born workers and became victims for economic difficulties as
jobs became fiercely contested.
The purpose of settlement houses is to help to integrate and ease
the transition of immigrants into the labor force by teaching
them middle-class American values. It provides social services
to reduce the effects of poverty, including daycare centers,
homeless shelters, public kitchens, and public baths. Some
settlement houses are a connection for political activism.
