The Importance Of Social Care International

Federal Restrictions and Guidelines in Smoking and Politics by A. Lee Frischlet and James M. Hoelfer

An example of successful aid programs include Paul Farmer’s Partners in Health, which was an organization aimed at preventing/decreasing the amount of deaths due to curable diseases in countries like Haiti. The approach of Partner’s in Health was centered and focused, creating sustainability by educating and employing Haitians, while also understanding the language and culture, as well as being permanently stationed. This means that there is no worry regarding “what happens when these organizations leave?” As Keith Morton suggested, Partners in Health talked, listened, built relationships and understood their

By provide affordable child care for middle and low income families. The company also provides drug prevention, anti-gang programs for at-risk youth, and help military families to cope with having a family member to serve their country across oversea.

“CARE USA’s program expenses in 2013 totaled more than $514 million” ("CARE FAQs") after providing necessary supplies to globally provide for their cause. To obtain this quantity of funding and commodities, the organization is helped funded from governmental agencies, “…the European Union and the United Nations.” ("CARE FAQs.") However, the organization is additionally funded by proceeds that are donated to them yearly from “…thousands of individuals, U.S corporations, foundations, and other organizations...” ("CARE FAQs.") Ultimately, these great commodities help promote the potential the organization has into achieving their mission of providing permanent relief to suffering communities.

A country’s health care system refers to all the institutions, programs, personnel, procedures, and the resources that are used to meet the health needs of its population. Health care systems vary from one country to another, depending on government policies and the health needs of the population. Besides, health care programs are flexible in the sense that they are tailored to meet health needs as they arise. Among the stakeholders in the formulation of a country’s health care system are governments, religious groups, non-governmental organizations, charity organizations, trade/labor unions, and interested individuals (Duckett, 2008). These entities formulate, implement, evaluate, and reform health services according to the

In a world full of violence, could peaceful actions be enough to make a change? Non-governmental organizations are any non-profit groups of people who share a common interest and volunteer at either a local, national or international level. Doctors Without Borders is an NGO that attempts to protect human rights violations, regardless of where people are from (The Trouble With Humanitarianism, 453). Although some communities may say humanitarian organizations misuse their funds, Doctors Without Borders is successful in creating more peaceful communities by saving lives through health care provision and looking out for the public good by raising awareness about injustice.

Imagine an entire community of individuals, from doctors to massage therapists, that does not answer to any political entity or religion, yet still manages to collectively provide free healthcare services to millions of individuals in need every year. Medecins Sans Frontiers, or popularly known in the US as Doctors Without Borders, is an international NGO that does just that. The organization began in 1971 when a group of French doctors and journalists recognized the dire need for assistance in healthcare during times of war, famine, and flood in Nigeria and Pakistan. Since then, it has expanded and provides aid to over 60 countries in underserved regions across Central America, South America, Africa, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia as

Singer’s only focus is on malnutrition and improper medical care. Singer does not acknowledge certain global issues such as insufficient education to women and the lack of proper schools across the globe. More than sixty million girls across the world are not being educated. Either because their families sold them into marriage, girls are forced into sex trafficking, or simply because a country does not allow girls to attend school after they reach a certain grade level. Organizations such as GirlUp focus on providing proper education to girls and women across the globe in hopes of providing a future to the women and an opportunity for their children. Non-government organizations such as PeaceCorps send expert volunteers to teach communities how to build sustainable farms, teach basic medical care, and teach in schools. Instead of providing food and medical help like Singer suggests, a more practical approach would be to teach communities on how to thrive with what is around them.

Nelson Mandela once said, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world”, yet the world still looks the same to me. Chicago needs to address the lack of accessibility to higher learning institutions. Education is about creating communities that challenge the current paradigm. It’s about identifying and solving the social and institutional problems that pose a threat or disadvantage some groups and advantage others. However, students who are not receiving a post-secondary education are more likely to have fewer workforce opportunities, or be unable to obtain a stable income. So the question is exactly ‘what socioeconomic factors are affecting low college retention rates?’

One such organization is CARE, which currently works in 94 countries around the world in support of over 1,000 aid projects (CARE, 2017). CARE has been working to fight poverty in Haiti for over 50 years by partnering with families, communities, and government is support of viable growth and a better quality of life (CARE, 2017). This organization is able to work towards the goal of reducing poverty through individual donations, contributions from corporations, organizations and foundations, as well as governmental support. CARE has committed to a 5 year, $100 million dollar plan, which will he to rebuild Haiti (CARE, 2017). They “focus on women because their empowerment serves as a catalyst for overall beneficial change in the communities where they reside” (CARE, 2017, n.p.). An interesting approach, one that Singer also references as a means to control population growth (Singer,

Many NGOs are associated with the use of international staff working in 'developing' countries, but there are many NGOs in both North and South who rely on local employees or volunteers.

UNICEF mobilizes political will and material resources to help countries, particularly developing countries, ensure a "first call for children" and to build their capacity to form appropriate policies and deliver services for children and their families.

Since the 1990’s , increased immigration has influenced international forces and has helped redefine the unique practice of international social work from western helpers of professional imperialism, in which western knowledge was transferred from the richer nations (global north) to the poorer nations (global south). (Zu, 2006). Internationalization has changed social

Globalisation is a broad term that is often defined in economic factors alone. The Dictionary at merriam-webster.com describes globalisation as “the process of enabling financial markets to operate internationally, largely as a result of deregulation and improved communication.” Also due to deregulation on the financial market, multi-national companies are free to trade and move their businesses to areas where a higher return or profit can be achieved. New technology also enables companies to relocate to areas where labour costs are lower, for instance movement of call centre jobs from the UK to India.

This scholarly article explains when abuse is so severe that it surpasses mistreatment of a few individuals it is called crime against humanity. These crimes against humanity do not happen by chance or by impulse but are rather the result of well thought out and justified reasoning. Such crimes are not the result of individuals but instead require large systematic compliance. Crimes against humanity are founded on the idea that certain human begins are not equal and therefore do not have rights or protection under the law. Unborn children do not have rights and are not protected under the law. The most famous example of crimes against humanity is the Jewish Holocaust that resulted in the killing of six million European Jews because of their race. Abortion can be compared to crimes against humanity because there is no doubt that abortions are intentional and systemic. Around 2,500 abortions occur every day in the United States. In 1973, since the Supreme Court legalized abortion in all states, roughly 60 million unborn children have lost their lives.
