Health insurance is not chicken noodle soup, advil and a good night's rest. It's a necessity in today's world. It pays for one's doctor visits, prescriptions, lab tests and etc. Without it, people would pay full price and some cannot afford either one, like college students.

Through it, people were given a look at a society not affected by the problems of 20th century industrial America. She illustrated a picture of a society where love was available for the asking and crime was dealt with by exchanging a few mats.

Samoa has been around for many centuries dating as far back as 3000 years ago according to researchers and scientists. Throughout the years, the Samoan culture has gained a various amount of influence under the ruling of the U.S., the U.K., Germany and also New Zealand before it became its own independent state. To this very day, the old style traditions and values of Samoa are still practiced on a daily basis.

Upholding ones values is extremely important as well as respecting the role separations, religious beliefs and following a strict chain of power to the people of Samoa.
