The Problem Of Death / Illnesses

Having aid brought into a country in need will help increase the health in the nation. Through internationalism you can provide humanitarianism and bring aid to less develpoed countires in times of suffer which will help them get the peace and secutity they need. Being on the supportive side of

As the rifle and machine gun fire exchanges in the Syrian Civil War not only lives are lost but many innocent men, women and children are left in need of emergency care. Cecily Hilleary, a traveling journalist for VOA World News, mentions “the United Nations estimates the civil war raging in Syria has left more than 2.5 million people in dire need of food, water, drugs and medical supplies,” not including the already 25,000, and counting, deceased from the war (VOA par. 9). The medical aid is minimal in Syria due to the low number of volunteers and medical staff. Cecily tells the stories of crowded hospitals with over 250-350 beds being piled up upon with hurt Syrian individuals, many being innocent women and

Death, dying and other ethical dilemmas are issues that all Intensive Care Units (ICUs) throughout the world have to face and address. In the Current Opinion in Critical Care, Vol 16, No 6, December 2010, p. 640, Dixon-Woods and Bosk, writing on the topic of “Death, dying and other ethical dilemmas” under the journal’s section of ‘Ethical, legal and organizational issues in the ICU’, have stated that “Recent ethnographic work suggests that ethical dilemmas associated with end-of-life care in ICU clearly persist, even if clinicians are now more open about patients’ chances of surviving. An Australian study identified how decisions and actions made

“He will soon learn to have a thick skin about what he has” - my senior dermatologist told as we walked out of the unit for children with congenital skin disorder, in which skin peels off even with slightest friction. I had gone into dermatology for its challenging complex diseases and hoping for a future with intellectual explorations. I was shocked to see the lack of structure to deal with the psychological aspects of patients. Often, I sat besides bewildered patients, listening to their stories of stigmatization and rejection in the community because of their appearance. I believed in adapting individual approaches to different personality types and cultural backgrounds. I was unwilling to accept everything at its face value, but felt satisfied seeking for causes, asking questions, and above all analyzing the biological, psychological and social aspects of diseases. As I analyzed, I saw each disease being defined by the individual’s experience - her/his way of “being in the world”.

- There are people suffering and dying from lack of food, shelter and medical care.

If we eliminated sicknesses and diseases, would people still be in poverty? Shah states, “increased poverty and debt is resulting in forced cut-backs in health and education, the very things that would help form a foundation in ensuring such impacts are minimized.” It is clear that poverty causes adults and kids to die from illnesses and diseases. If we get rid of sicknesses and diseases, those adults and kids may actually have a chance to save up money, get out of poverty, become healthy and get a good education. This infact does make my plan to get rid of sicknesses and diseases doable because people won’t be in poverty from paying hospital bills and vaccinations.

In the article, the Syrian Crisis shows how other countries aren’t as safe as the United States since there are many bombings and children dying. The Syrians need help but are not getting much from others, “When we turn away from suffering that exists outside of our personal realm, we stop making informed decisions and we disconnect from humanity” (Derhally 2). A picture of a five-year-old boy from Aleppo changed how people viewed the Syrian Crisis. At first, everyone ignored the problem but then people started to realize they need some help. To his day, the people still do not get the help they need but the society has changed a little.

Our solutions will help improve the lives of women and children in South Sudan. It’s the positive change that these areas desperately need. The female refugee camps are secured with guards to reduce the violence and other conflict these women face. We are inspiring and

Abstract: This report aims to analyze how the programs and structures of Australian Red Cross can be transformed through sweeping changes covering all aspects and activities of the organization. It explores the intersection of organizational governance, structure, strategy, culture and people in a complex and challenging organization-wide reform process that not only led to the strengthening of the National Society but also increased its capacity to address the needs of vulnerable people. Introduction:

As if addiction and an overdose death are not bad enough, there are many other dangers stemming from the abuse of opioids.

Before I was reading this chapter I wasn’t know differences between disease and illness. According to Helment, many of author discussed analytic distinct between dieses and illness. One of the author, Cassel, describes illness as people’s feeling when they go the doctor; and dieses feelings the way home from the doctor. Dieses what organ has, and illness something a person has. Everybody’s thoughts and responds are different about illness and disease. I was always thinking disease is uncured sickness, such as AIDS. According to article diseases and illness are not related. You can get a dieses without being ill such as contacting HIV through another person when you perfectly healthy. The shaping of the illness and behaviors of the people depends

Not only do they raise awareness for a global response, but their involvement in the medical field has helped civilians find medical care, and save many lives in areas where there is no access to hospital whatsoever. A CNN article, showed how dedicated they were to people in medical attention: “days of heavy airstrikes have left Syria's rebel-held eastern Aleppo without a single hospital operating at full capacity” (Smith-Spark, Kourdi & Khadder, 2016, para. 1). Despite, any infrastructure left standing during the war, they still stayed to avoid many more deaths by trying to help the

Days have been dragged since Henry’s mother died. It’s been 5 months since his mother was murdered in a shooting. On the day that his mother died, he found most of the taxes and payments weren’t paid. “How did this happen?” he thought. He got all flustered and got worried how he would live. One day Henry woke up with 3 loud knocks on the door. When he opened the door, no one was there. He peeked outside to see if anyone was there. He looked right, left, up, and down. He saw a piece of paper facing down backward, and picked it up, and flipped it over. “Reverse time”.

Although volunteers for Medecins Sans Frontiers are commonly stationed in various countries with a dire healthcare worker shortage, regions with refugee camps and internally displaced persons are also a focus for this organization. Refugees and internally displaced persons often come from war torn regions and live in close confines with poor sanitation and limited resources. These living situations become a breeding ground for diseases and other health issues like malnutrition, yet the individuals lack access to any sort of healthcare. The organization also responds quickly when regions suddenly experience an increased need for healthcare, for example in times of an epidemic or a natural disaster. Medecins Sans Frontiers’ involvement across its varying regions and their attempt to address a broad spectrum of healthcare truly show how altruistic the organization is to individuals regardless of race, gender, or religion.

I grew up in an environment where I was sensitive to the needs of those immediately around me; my family, my neighbors, my classmates but my world was a very narrow one. This course has taught be to look at the world as my neighbors and feel a responsibility to the health, safety and welfare of all. I used to believe there was nothing I could do about the famine in Africa or the genocide in Croatia but I now realize that ANY small step I take is a step toward a path leading to action and understanding. One of my closest friends is a Major in the U.S. Army and she has been to Croatia, Iraq and Afghanistan; I am blessed to have her in my life because through her eyes and her stories, I am more in touch with the trials of our modern day world. “Lao Tzu said, “The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step” (Loeb, 2010).
