Lessons from Past Public Health Crises Infectious diseases have posed a threat to global public health over the centuries. More humans have died from infectious diseases than anything else. A look into the death figures of pandemics in history highlights the devastating impact it continues to have on human lives. For example, some of the deadliest infectious diseases in history like the 6th century plague of Justinian claimed 50 million fatalities. Again, nearly 200 million lives were lost during the 14th century Black Death. While in the 20th century Small pox killed some 300 million people. These diseases are usually caused by bacteria, viruses and parasites. h (BBC Future, 2020). Currently, the world continues to be ravaged by the Covid-19 outbreak with the situation escalating. This paper looks at the lessons public health agencies can learn from past global pandemics. First, the case of the polio outbreak in the 1950s in USA offers some vital lessons. The disease claimed thousands of lives in the US. It mostly affected children and spread through oral-fecal contacts. Polio spread faster during the summer…

 social classes Also, the social classes between the two towns vary in that most of the people that live in Old and New bond street London belong to the upper and middle-level class compared to those in Manor Park Newham who most are middle and lower-level class. The variation in wealth, material possession power, and authority make the two cities socially unequal. This is evident in the presence of a charity organization in a town and none in the other. However, we see that most people observe the unspoken social norms which have ensured order among the two community despite belonging to different social, economic status. It is also revealed that people group themselves in categories which social class concepts identify as being subjective. The importance of the idea is how people’s group theme self has consequences on the outcome. For instance, in Manor Park, Newham people are grouped in gangs which are mainly defined by racial backgrounds unlike in New bond street where people interact freely without any specific measures Conclusion In conclusion, social inequalities, social inequalities, social class,…

According to Mander, Jerry & Goldsmith (2014) According to Mander, Jerry & Goldsmith (2014), the political leaders who take part in the passing and amending of laws should ensure that they have in-depth knowledge of the bills they vote for or against. From an excerpt of their book, it states that, We offered a $10,000 donation to the charity of choice of any congressperson who could do the following: 1) sign an affidavit stating that he or she had read the five-hundred-page agreement, and 2) successfully answer ten simple questions about its contents.” (p. 92) “Finally, Colorado Republican Hank Brown accepted the challenge. […] he could not support the GATT because of its elimination of even the most basic due process guarantees.” (p. 93) it still passed.   What saddens me about lawmakers making haphazard decisions is that these laws have long term consequences on the citizens. Globalization has made those entities that are meant to be protecting the citizens to become docile because the large corporations have undue influence over the legal authorities. And whenever they feel the need…

American Rockn’ Roll Band. They tour Germany in June/July 2020 and I would like to ask them if evtl. The overall possibility is given, they would give a Charity Concert while in Germany. My name is Claudia-Tatjana Elizabeth Strebel and I am a Philanthropy Advisor and Human Rights Advocate living and working in Switzerland. In the last 4 years I was actively engaged in helping and supporting the Syrian refugees, based under catastrophic circumstances in Europe. Whether in Greece or Bosnia and Croatia, they suffer under the worst possible conditions. Unfortunately, the big NGOs are not a big help and so it is on the grassroot organizations to cover the most basic needs. Volunteers in Europe endlessly work to support the poorest among the poor and step in where the Governments fail. As the little team of Humanitarian workers and I identify very much with The Hooters Visions and Missions as well as their beliefs and their work, it would be a heart felt project to work with them on a charity event. So far we have no experience with…

My Biggest Inspiration Without a doubt, my biggest inspiration is my mother. Indeed, she is perhaps my most favorite person in the whole universe. There are many reasons for this such as her unconditional love for me and my siblings, her endless sacrifices in the quest to make sure we are happy, her internal strength that makes everything better, and her profound wisdom rooted in her soul; these are a just a few attributes of this incredible woman. Simply stated, she is not only a precious gift to her children, but also to the world. My mother has a caring and kind heart, which is a rare quality in this world we exist. She gave birth to me and my siblings but still ended up taking care of the underprivileged children in our neighborhood. She devoted her love, warmth, and heart amongst each of us without any bias or favoritism. How she manages is still a mystery to all of us whom she took care of. Preparing outstanding meals is among one of the things my mum likes to do.…
