1. On the 21st of October 1995, Anna Wood took an ecstasy tablet at a dance party and died three days later. At such a young and thriving age, Anna Wood was just 15 years old with a loving family, many friends and a new job. On the night of the event that had taken place a series of risk behaviours were undertaken. Firstly by wanting to take an ecstasy tablet to get high as well as not having any knowledge on the actual drug. By having a broader knowledge on the drug she may have been still alive as she would’ve only had taken half due to knowing a whole tablet would be too much.
Another risk behaviour, was going around the corner to take the “E” and being too egger to take the pill. If she had waited for her friend George,

Chloe then asked Anna if she wanted to go to the doctors, but Anna never responded. Anna’s friends should have brought Anna to the doctors despite whether or not Anna said yes or no. Having bought Anna to the doctors initially after the signs and symptoms, may have prevented Anna’s tragic outcome. As she might of gained thorough test and the correct medical attention that she required.
Anna’s friends also should have notified the Wood parents immediately of the condition their daughter was in and as to why she was in it. They could have arranged an ambulance immediately. If the ambulance arrived early and were called earlier, they could’ve prevented Anna to the likelihood of being permanently brain damaged.
The final prevention as a result of the tragedy of Anna Wood’s death is the Wood family along with the Australian medical association established the Anna Wood drug and alcohol education project. A campaign that aims to empower young people and their parents to tackle drug and alcohol abuse. This I a preventative behaviour that aims to prevent young people from drugs through the eyes of Anna Wood her tragedy, which makes teenagers aware of the dangers and outcomes associated with drugs and alcohol.
2. Anna’s health could be determined by a range of factors acting in various combinations. These factors include Individual factors, sociocultural factors, socioeconomic factors and environmental factors. Individual factors
Children can feel neglected when one of their siblings have a serious illness. Annas statement, which appears in her narration on the first Monday, refers to the way Anna’s parents conceived her. When Anna says she “didn’t get here by accident,” she means that her parents deliberately selected her, or rather the embryo that would become her, for a specific reason.“Although I am nine months pregnant, although I have had plenty of time to dream, I have not really considered the specifics of this child. I have thought of this daughter only in terms of what she will be able to do for the daughter I already have…Then again, my dreams for her are no less exalted; I plan for her to save her sister’s life.” Anna’s mother didn’t even have her because she wanted to she had her because she felt like she needed to. When that was done from there on out the neglection started

These days there are a number of social issues in the community, such as drug abuse, teenage pregnancy and alcohol abuse. Alcohol abuse is rampant in today’s society, Australian Drug Foundation states that, “Alcohol is the most widely used psychoactive, or mood-changing, recreational drug in Australia.”(Healey, 2002, p. 11). Underage drinking and binge drinking are some of the problems associated with alcohol abuse.
Underage drinking is becoming a serious social issue in modern Australia; with 90% of Australian teenagers over 14 that have tried alcohol at least once. Estimates also suggest that half of Australia’s teenagers drink alcohol on a weekly basis. Underage drinking can cause drink driving and unsafe sex if it is misused. Australia seems to be fond of this drug, and find it to be socially acceptable although it is causing the amount of teenage deaths to rise rapidly due to misuse. Heavy use of Alcohol can also cause health issues later on in the lives of teens that are drinking alcohol. It is hard for parents to be able to prevent their teenagers from consuming and experimenting with alcohol, but they can at least kindly encourage their
There are several ways that Jeanette 's doctor and receptionist could have helped Jeanette. The receptionist should have relayed Jeanette 's message to the doctor as soon as possible. Shortness of breath is a serious medical problem. It is one of the symptoms of Heart failure as well as Pneumonia (Mayoclinic, 2016). If the doctor had received the message right away, the doctor would perhaps advise Jeanette to come to her office or to call 911 immediately. The receptionist should have advised Jeanette to call 911 if her symptoms got serious while she waited for doctor 's callback. Jeanette endured her symptom the whole day waiting for the phone call from her doctor that never reached her in time.
I believe Anna was right to listen to Kate because she passed away knowing that she was not going to live and was not going to be put someone’s life in danger to save her own. I believe what she did was right because Anna was brought into the world to be a genetic match for her older sister, Kate, who suffers from acute leukemia. Her sister's dependency on her, Anna was unable to live the life she wants. Anna in and out of the hospital constantly, she cannot take part in extracurricular activities such as cheerleading or soccer. Knowing that she will have to donate one of her kidneys to her sister, Anna sues her parents for medical emancipation and the rights to her own body. Believing that she would not survive the surgery, Kate wants to die. Anna wins the case, and due to her sister's wishes does not donate her kidney. In conclusion , it shows that Anna not only fulfilled her sisters wishes, but also stood up for herself because she did not want to go under the knife, and go through a painful process not knowing what could possibly happen to her. It not only shows a symbolic sisters role, but also elaborates on equality for justice, and personally rights. Therefore, I do believe what she did for herself and her sister was the right thing to do because she did not deserve to go through such a difficult
The medical assistant should have advised Shaunti’s mother to call back with the insurance information and/or gave her a list of what insurance companies Mountain View Clinic accepted. This would have alleviated the confusion during Shaunti’s check in with Kristin and would have allowed the parents to find a
Anna is very hard headed. She did what she thought was right, even though her parents begged her to reconsider her choice. She kept Kate’s wishes a secret until the end of the story even though Kate’s choice made their parents upset with Anna. Anna did what was in the best interest of Kate even though it meant others would look down on her. Without the truth coming forward, their parents would have never understood why Anna wanted her body
Over time, it has become a regular thing for citizens of Australian to drink excessive amounts alcohol; Australians of many different ages drink alcohol for a wide range of reasons; whether alcohol is being consumed due to a special occasion, for stress relief, or as an (not so good) anti-depressant. Alcohol, believe it or not makes a huge impact on Australians as young as 14. Statistics show that at least 90% of teenagers 14 years old and up have tried alcohol at least once, and estimates also show that around about 50% of teens 14 and older consume alcohol on a weekly basis. The problem being caused by this deadly drug is that teens under the age of 18 are not complying with the law and are consuming crazy amounts of alcohol on a regular
She had many people to talk to that would've helped her. If she told someone earlier it wouldn't of gotten to the extent that it did at the end of the
One day you are living a beautiful and content lifestyle, and then next day you are lying on the floor dead without telling your friends and family you loved them. This could happen to you, if you do not avoid the dodgy lifestyle of a drug user and abuser. Every day drugs, such as: heroine are misused in-order to get a certain feeling called a high. The high is suppose to make you feel good or forget about the world’s everyday problems, but in most cases, the use of these powerful drugs end up hurting, or even killing the users. The PSA “Best High” explains how heroine can easily be influenced into using for amusement. In the Public Service Announcement (PSA), “Best High,” produced by DrugFreeWorldInc, the company is reenacting a story about
For many Australians, alcohol consumption is a pleasurable part of everyday life (Parliament of Victoria 2004). However in recent years there have been several reports highlighting that the proportion of adolescents consuming alcohol and the amount of alcohol they are drinking is at record levels (AIHW 2008; White and Hayman 2006; Shanahan and Hewitt 1999). The long and short term sequelae associated with risky or high risk alcohol consumption include negative physical, emotional and social consequences (NHMRC 2001). Immediate harms include accidents, injuries, decreased scholastic and sporting performance, aggression, violence, assault, disrupted family relationships, high risk sexual activity,
The moral ramifications of Anna having an obligation to help Kate happened through her entire life. After Anna gives her kidney to Kate, she will not have the capacity to carry on with an ordinary existence of an eleven year old. Likewise, Anna would not have liked to give her kidney and needed a say in the choice that would transform her life forever, so she went to a legal counselor to help her battle for her rights. I think it was great that the judge decided for Anna having the privilege to have the capacity to choose whether to agree to give her kidney to her sister. Anna chose she would not like to give her kidney to Kate and regarded Kate's wishes to die. Furthermore, I am not sure if I agree that the embryonic configuration of Anna to spare Kate was ethically
The Duggar family of 19 Kids and Counting is always being watched by people who loved the show or used to love it before the big Josh Duggar scandal. Now a new picture on Facebook that the Duggar family shared has everyone talking about what is going on with Anna Duggar. In this photo, people are seeing what looks like possibly a black eye and a busted lip on Anna. Considering she has been going through a really hard time with her husband Josh Duggar this is causing a lot of speculation. Nobody really knows what happened to Anna, but some fans are feeling like there is something going on.
Our dance teacher just hit us with the worst news ever; the best dancer in our team, Annabeth, has moved away and joined our rivalry team, Cookies. I immediately thought this was false. There was no way that she would just betray us this way.
