“I wanted to be successful. I definitely didn't want to be poor.” Said Andrew Cherng, this quote clearly represents how people in Annawadi thinks by surviving and searching opportunities to get out of the slum area and live a better life or a better future for them and their family. As I see in slums such as Annawadi I saw many opportunity for them to succeed such as Abdul family was doing pretty okay as a trash recycler until the family was accused in killing Fatima in the fire. As I believed there are many ways of getting out of poverty, but for me the one of the best way of getting out of poverty such as in Annawadi is through corruption.

Diverse groups in American society are often the most marginalized and therefore the most vulnerable to issues that undermine the fair and uncomplicated pursuit of health and wellbeing. One of those issues is the lack of access to affordable healthy food and, in many cases, the inaccessibility to food in general. Areas where affordable and healthy foods are largely unavailable are called food deserts and the members of the diverse groups that live in such areas or that have access to very little food at all often develop a sense of food insecurity. One of the groups that is increasingly impacted by food deserts and food insecurity is the nation’s elderly population which is, by most standards, defined as those individuals aged 65 and older. The following paper investigates this phenomenon by addressing the elderly population of Ada County, Idaho as representative of this diverse and often disenfranchised population. The paper investigates the issue of food deserts and food insecurity that threaten the health and wellbeing of the elderly in the context of the various elements of social determinants of health that contribute to their development and persistence. The paper also includes proposals for individual and population-based strategies to improve access to healthy and affordable food by this population as well as improve the health and wellbeing of its members.

Over 8.2 million seniors over the age 60 face the threat of food insecurity, up 78% from a decade ago affecting one in seven seniors. The rise in food insecurity is primarily seen among senior Americans with income less than $30,000 or one to two times the poverty level. Younger seniors between the ages 60-69 are becoming more likely to become food insecure than older adults, due to early retirements and not being able to rely on Social Security or Medicare until they reach 65. Elder malnourished patients experience 2 to 20 times more complications and 100% longer hospital stays. Good nutrition is vital to helping America’s 34 million seniors to stay healthy,

In recent years, there has been research involving the causes and consequences of poor nutrition among the elderly. Researchers continually work to distinguish risk factors of inadequate nutrition; the factors of most concern are “poor appetite, functional limitations, limited income, and social isolation” (Lirette, Podovennikoff, Wismer, Tondu, Klatt, 2007). Individuals at highest risk are those who live at home with a lack of family support (Krondl, Coleman, Lau, 2008). The diets of many elderly people are often low in calories and lacking important nutrients. All of these factors can affect the health and quality of life in the older adult. Nutrition plays a significant role in the health of

The first family interviewed consists of a husband, wife, and two elementary aged daughters who came to the U.S. from Nigeria five years ago. The marriage was arranged between the husband’s father and siblings and the wife’s parents. Because of the great sense of community in this culture, the residents of the couple’s two villages also had to agree to the marriage. It was clear to this author that family and community relationships are highly valued in this family, and great emphasis is placed on valuing the opinions of, and deferring to elders. In Nigeria, health maintenance or protection is not highly considered, yet the residents of the villages generally have excellent health with very few incidents of the chronic diseases we face in the U.S. The reason for this relates to the physical activity involved in daily life, such as walking great distances, and manual labor working in the fields. Another reason for the health of the community is the diet they eat. Each family grows fresh vegetables and fruits. Beans are a primary source of protein, and meat is a special treat that is consumed only a few times per year. Processed or sugary foods are not a part of the diet. As a matter of fact the wife mentioned

There are numerous approach issues that influence families in the present society. Craving is a shrouded pandemic and one noteworthy issue that American's still face. It is difficult to trust that in this tremendous, consistently developing nation, families are as yet starving. As expressed in the book Growing Up Empty, hunger is running wild through urban, provincial, and even rural groups. This paper will investigate the varying points of view of the concerned camp, enthusiastic camp, and anxious camp. Likewise, every camp view, strategy plan, and qualities that underlie their contention on yearning will be talked about.

Humanity’s grief comes from a severe lack of control. The intense pangs of suffering is accompanied by a storm of anger, ripping through the ocean of calm and triggering waves of raw human emotions. There are circumstances in life that cause the fragile boat of logistical thinking to sink, forever at the mercy of the tumultuous waves. In author Patrick DeWitt’s novel, The Sisters Brothers, the transformation of protagonist Eli Sisters from a sane man to a murderous monster portrays how defenseless logistical thinking is in the face of distress. Contrary to Eli and his downfall, deuteragonist Charlie Sisters experiences the opposite as he transitions from a man who acts impulsively on his thoughts, to someone who is more tentative and reluctant.
