When listening to Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, it made me think about some things we have talked about in class. When Dr. El-Sayed talked about working in Detroit, it reminded me of when we talked about life expectancy. He went into the community to make it overall better and to help the community become healthier. He is making the community healthier and a safer place, which will help the children and adults with their future. The community will be healthier and live longer, but they will also have a better outlook on life. Detroit also doesn’t have enough money to pay for healthier food options, which is affecting everyone in that community. But, by Dr. Abdul going into this community to work he is trying to bring healthier food options in,
From this film, the key points that were mentioned about how socioeconomic backgrounds and race impact one’s health is something that is not as emphasized as it should be in the public eye. Especially how health and wealth are intertwined with each other is particularly frustrating since health should be a human right and people should receive the health they need regardless of their economic
To undertake a mission means to set a goal for yourself means to set a goal for yourself to accomplish. People are determined and work hard to reach their goals. For example, Farah Ahmedi climbed a mountain on a prosthetic leg to reach freedom. Aengus traveled long and hard to find love. Rikki-Tikki-Tavi was determined on killing the snakes and saving his new family. These characters had different reasons for pursuing their goals and doing what they did. Ahmedi wanted freedom, Rikki-Tikki wanted to protect his new family, and Aengus was set on finding love; however all three shared the determination to accomplish their goal.
Imagine hammering away at your goal to either succeed in a life goal or face a hardship in life and persevere through it. To demonstrate this, Farah Ahmedi undertook the mission of crossing the Afghanistan border to get to Pakistan in search of a better life. LeBron James persevered though fans full of hatred after he left his home team and joined a new team. Finally, Aengus tackled the expedition of trying to find true love he wanted but never found it. However, two characters had tons of persistence and determination in order to push through a hard time and all of them had the perseverance to try to succeed in their goal.
A team of researchers from The George Washington University in conjunction with key leaders – evaluated the Detroit area to assess the state-of-healthcare deliverance to those in need. The problem was presented in a clear and concise manner: The uninsured and poor had limited to no access to the care they needed. Many resorted to the Emergency Department (40% of admissions were non-emergent), leading to overcrowding in the hospital. Those that are part of the safety net are providers of the poor and vulnerable populations: hospital systems, clinics, volunteers, primary care workers, and prevention workers that are there to prevent the overflow and influx that we see in the assessment. We will be addressing our main stakeholders, the
Improving the health of the socially and economically disadvantaged is a major task. Many Americans are living with poor health because of their socioeconomic statuses and it has many negative effects on their long term health. Improving access to health care is not enough to help fix the lower death rates among low income families. Our social status in our economy has large effect on our lives including how we are able to live our lives and in tern it has large measurable effects on our health. San Antonio is no exception, in low income areas the mortality rates by diabetes are stunning and need to be changed in order to help improve the lives of so many people. In my essay I will be proposing a plan to help lower
As he spoke I was fascinated with his theories. “What lead to your understanding of how the healthcare market needs to be fixed?" I asked. He smiled and looked down at his desk, “Well when I was young I wanted to know how the significant social issues correlate with economics. Whether its unemployment rates or healthcare, everything has to do with it." At that moment, I realized that I was meant to use my passion for social justice to solve the issues in our society that are rooted with economics. Growing up in urban Miami, a city of hopeful immigrants and an ambitious youth, I have developed a heightened social awareness of the political dilemmas that affect my community. Many immigrants, like my parents, are grateful to be given a chance at the American Dream. My American Dream is being able to improve the lives of the people who need their voice to be heard. Education, healthcare, and immigration are not only topics that I am passionate about; they are issues crucial to American stability and success that can be improved with
In the story The Good Food Revolution, Will Allen talks about his struggles as an African American male trying to live out his dream of sustaining a profitable farming career while doing well for the community. What started as a small roadside market is now a national business which helps low-income families gain access to healthy foods and also helps build a better community. Throughout his journey, Allen experienced countless setbacks and was exposed to several issues dealing with race. Access to healthy food is a struggle for the poor, and in particular, African Americans.
In public health, as in many fields there are a set of conundrums that practitioners, leaders and law makers have to address in order to provide the most appropriate service to their populations. One of these conundrums is the battle between what is good for the community vs. what is good for the individual. This topic will be broken up to the community vs. the individual, and discussed based on research done by Kass et al, and Oriola, and will be concluded by presenting possible solutions.
My passion for global health stems from my experiences as a child. Growing up as a child of Mexican immigrants to the United States, I had the opportunity to visit family members in southern Mexico every few years. While I savored reconnecting with relatives, my awareness of inequalities bolstered with each visit. My relatives live in rural areas where economic adversity is persistent and access to quality healthcare is sparse. Contrasting my relatives’ experiences and opportunities with my own exemplified to me how one’s life is shaped by economic conditions, healthcare access, education systems, and one’s birthplace.
While the Abbasids seized power on the Arabian Peninsula, the Umayyad leader Abd al-Rahman fled to the Iberian Peninsula and built a magnificent kingdom. When he reached Spain, he made it Al-Andalus, also known as Muslim Spain. He gained power by uniting the factions that were already there and defeating the ruling factions. Al-Andalus became a glorious kingdom in the Muslim empire because they had powerful leaders, a stable government, and effective tactics for expansion. The reasons for their decline will also be mentioned in this essay.
atima Muhammed is 16 years old and was born in Lincoln Nebraska July 18, 1999. She has five siblings which names are, Mohammad, Abdual, Abraheem, Hakeem, and Aisha. Fatima’s main interests are that she cares for the safety of our community, which is why she wishes to be a firefighter.

Temptation. Many people confuse this feeling with that of love, yet they are wrong. Love and temptation do not go hand in hand, and are actually two separate feelings all together. James Joyce delves into the question between ‘what is love?’ and ‘what is temptation?’ in Araby, which he shows how a young boy embarks on an archetypal quest to see if he can discover if what he feels is really affection.
Dr. Seelau gives many opportunities for students to ace his class, and clearly wants to see everyone leave with an A+. His lectures are normally long, but he explains topics clearly and is very willing to help students however he can.
With almost any visit to a doctor the question will come up, “Have you been eating healthy?” Everyone would like to think so or at least impress the doctor by saying so, but the term “health” may contradict the stereotypical simple answer of eating fruit and vegetables and working out. In fact, doctors may even have the wrong impressions on health when giving their patients advice. Over three articles, different authors have shared their views on health, what it means, and how it affects our society. From these, I comprised my own definition for health. Health is not a singular concept. Rather, it affects an entire society, allowing everyone to access food filled with the necessary nutrients to sustain life. This definition though has no use unless it is able to be shared with large populations. Therefore, education and ease of implementation are the most critical parts of the definition of health because they allow the American citizens to put the values of health into practice. From the arguments, the authors vary in their abilities to make convincing arguments based on how well their health plans are defined.
