Australia is also the only developed country in the world that hasn't gotten rid of small diseases such as Trachoma (Our Generation 8:47) this is primarily because the Australian government gives very little help to the Aboriginals. The average Aboriginal house shelters about 30 people each, and this is the main cause of disease in Aboriginal villages (Our Generation

that he used was related to providing a blind American person with a trained service dog. These dogs cost about $40,000 to train and they benefit one person. However, with that same amount of money, somewhere between 400 and 2,000 people living with trachoma in developing countries could have been cured of their blindness. In this case, Singer would argue that providing a service dog to a blind American would not be ethical because it does not provide the greatest amount of

which costs the US approximately $2 billion dollars in consequences and treatments. Persons who suffer from chlamydia in underdeveloped countries and have no means of seeking treatment may become blind because chlamydia has the potential of causing trachoma. It is becoming a global interest to control and restrain this budding disease. In order to do so it is essential to recognize the symptoms of chlamydia, diagnose the victim, and

According to the reading, some of the factors that could have led the early European explorers to explore overseas could have been to increase in power. I believe, this because the reading mentions that the Europeans knew that there were lands to their west. And as the reading mentions, the increase in trade especially with Asia and the African civilizations. It mentions that the rising volume of trade between Europe and North Africa. The increase of trade brought different ideas to different parts

Introduction Many Indigenous Australians are experiencing poor health than other Australians. Frequently they are dying at much younger ages. A healthy supportive environment gives a protection from physical and mental abuse and opportunities for personal development. As well as education and employment, these are all essential for a longer happy life. The organisation I chose to do my report on an Aboriginal Health Council of South Australia. This is an Aboriginal community controlled organisation

drinking water. Over 440 million african school aged children die each and every year because of water related diseases like Diarrhoea, Arsenicosis, Cholera, Fluorosis, Guinea Worm Disease, HIV / AIDS, Malaria, Intestinal Worms, Schistosomiasis, Trachoma and Typhoid. We can help by starting to teach kids and even adults about the water crisis in Africa because too many children are dying a day. We can also help by raising money to build protected springs, public taps and protected groundwater

Medieval medicine was rooted in Ancient Greek practices. In 65 A.D., a Greek writer, Discorides, wrote a book, Material Medica. The book is about medical use of over five-hundred different plants. The book is translated into Hebrew and Arabic. Doctors in the Early Modern Era knew very little, and they used plants as the most important care and/or treatment. Due to unsanitary places and tools, many different diseases spread around Europe. Life was challenging during the Early Modern Era because

and the results were catastrophic. Due to nearly all of diseases being communicable by air and touch, they spread like wildfire. The diseases the explorers brought included smallpox, measles, chicken pox, whooping cough, diphtheria, scarlet fever, trachoma, malaria, typhus fever, typhoid fever, influenza, cholera, and bubonic plague. However, the Europeans contracted several new diseases from the natives; these diseases included yellow fever and syphilis. Among the diseases spread to the New World

Every single thing in the universe requires knowledge to understand it, and through this understanding we learn things that we never dreamed of knowing. Although some have spent their entire lives learning about certain subjects, no one can even come close to knowing everything that this universe has to offer us. Sometimes you may see a person and instantly judge them, noticing they are accompanied by a work dog or carry a white stick to help them move around, judging by this isn't fair to those

Water and sanitation come under the 6th Sustainable Development Goal set by the United Nations.1 These are a group of 17 goals addressing different global issues which are aimed to be achieved by 2030. Water and sanitation are both fundamental to survival and confer many devastating consequences should they be denied. The devastating impacts of a lack of both water and adequate sanitation are strongly linked. Lack of Safe Water 1 in 9 people do not have access to clean water globally.2 This includes
