The readings for today consisted of “Recovery’s Edge: An Ethnography of Mental health Care and Moral Agency” by Neely Laurenzo Myers. As stated in the title, this book is an ethnography of individual’s dealings with “recovery” from mental illness through a “Peer Empowerment Program” headed by individuals who also suffered from mental illness (Laurenzo Myers 2015). Laurenzo Myers’s writing provides an insightful account of the way in which we perceive mental illness in the United States, as well as a way to see how changes to our country’s mental health care system dealt a devastating blow to an incredibly vulnerable population (Laurenzo Myers 2015).

On the Merv Griffin show in 1979, President Ford is interviewed about his book “A Time to Heal”. Merv points out the meeting General Haig had with Ford at the end of Nixon’s presidency, in where he recommended that the President pardon Nixon. August 1st, 1974 General Haig, who at the time was Nixon’s Chief of Staff, gave Ford a call in which he told Ford he had important information that they must discuss. They then met, and Haig told him that the “smoking gun” tape was being released by order of the Supreme Court and the situation in the White House was dissolving and Ford should be prepared to take on the role of President.

In the article “Displacing Suffering: The Reconstruction of Death in North American and Japan”, Margaret Lock’s discusses her thesis, which is to bring forward the disputes between “death” and organ transplants as conceptualized by the North American and Japanese cultures (210). The main point that she makes lies within each culture’s definition of “death”, the kinds of implications they carry, and how they impact their societies’ approaches to organ transplants. The subject of organ transplants is much broader of a topic than it initially seems, especially since the conceptualization of death determines how a culture may react to a situation where it is up to a single surgeon to determine one’s life or death. There exist many problems with organ transplants (such as legal issues, philosophical disputes, and emotional distraught), let alone the ethical disagreements concerning life and death between these two cultures of Lock’s focus.

She tried to live each day as best she

My personal goals are centered on healing. In this world of decreasing resources and increasing and ever diverse populations, there are unmet needs, confusions, and misunderstandings—the very stuff of conflicts and wars. It has been my experience and observation that what the world (and especially me) needs most is a transformation that involves healing, which I believe can lead to a greater measure of peace. That is to say, I have come from a heritage that is troubled with addictions and the abuse and generational cycles of violence that so often accompany addictions. However, I am a survivor, and I continually strive to go forward healing from this past. In time, I came to acknowledge my need for skills in conflict transformation and peace
