How important for the prevention of disease was Edward Jenner’s discovery of the smallpox vaccination in 1796? Edward Jenner took the first step in understanding and preventing infectious diseases by developing a smallpox vaccination in the year 1796. This was important as he saved many lives with this new discovery and improved previous methods of preventing disease. Future scientists such as Pasteur and Koch were also able to use Jenner’s work to develop vaccinations for other serious illnesses. However, it was also a limited discovery because it merely tackled one disease and his idea was only gradually accepted by other doctors.
do we have our priorities in the correct order? Since when was finance of greater importance than the lives of many? As long as we let these businesses continue to expose deadly Ultra Violet radiation on the members of the public, we can be sure some people will suffer from melanoma. We must not allow any delay in one of the only plausible methods of reducing melanoma because think about it; other causes of melanoma would be the beach which obviously cannot be banned. The sooner we initiate the ban, the sooner lives are saved.
“Speakeasies of the Prohibition Era” an article by Kathy Weiser explains how all speakeasies and anything else to do with illegal alcohol actions led to the unhealthy era of America. Connected with poverty, crime, corruption, social problems and tax burdens drinking was said to be the source of all evil (Weiser).

Claude Noel Yamgueu Prof. Landrus EN102 09/16/2013 Euthanasia Exploratory According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, euthanasia is the act or practice of intentionally ending the life of someone who is very sick or injured in order to prevent any more suffering. The 20th century was a time that saw the development of the modern hospital system, a development that contributed in the emergence of the euthanasia debate. Regardless of whether or not a person is in favor of euthanasia, many people do want a dignified death for themselves and their loved ones. However, the debate encompasses many interesting sides about whether or not humans have the right to die. The three main views of this issue include the pro-euthanasia, the con-euthanasia
Hunter Harper Paper 1 Indians and disease Collin G. Calloway says it is true that disease was a key factor in the depopulation of native Americans in America. Calloway reveals that the European invasion was a great factor of epidemics. The disease they fought were smallpox, diphtheria, measles, bubonic, and pneumonic plaque, cholera, influenza, typhus, dysentery, and yellow fever. The native Americans had a tough time fighting theses diseases due to lack of knowledge of cures. These cures were mostly attempted by plant or herb remedies and often failed to provide protection for the Indian population.
Although the act was usually but not always the choice of the woman, abortion was illegal and to end pregnancy was considered to be murder. In the two decades before abortion was legal in America, it's been estimated that about one million women per year underwent illegal abortions. Because these illegal procedures were performed by the woman or someone else who was not medically trained to perform the procedure, women died. In my opinion trying to make abortion illegal is pointless because the women will resort to drastic measures and other means to end the unwanted birth. Here we are in this so-called world of freedom but when we exercise that freedom, we become ridiculed for making a choice.
Hypokinetic Diseases In 1900 the leading causes of death were infectious diseases like Tuberculosis and Typhoid. Today the leading causes of death are HYPOKINETIC diseases (HYPO meaning low and KINETIC meaning movement). Hypokinetic diseases such as obesity, high blood pressure, heart disease, strokes, diabetes, osteoporosis, cancer, anxiety, depression, arthritis, and low back pain are growing at an alarming rate. Hypokinetic diseases spread when we believe myths like “old people can not exercise,” “exercising is dangerous,” or “I don’t have time to exercise.” It is very important that we make the time to stop this epidemic from spreading. You are not the only one at risk.
War on HIV/AIDS It has been proven time and time again that a lack of knowledge breeds ignorance and with ignorance comes destruction. Just shy of thirty years since the first HIV/AIDS case evolved, it is no longer an epidemic it is now a pandemic. Georgia is no exception to the effects of this rapidly growing health destruction to mankind. Knowledge is the most important factor in dominating your opponent. In this paper, conventional arguments ranging from the economic proposition, psychological factors to the political involvement of this pandemic will be covered.
This will lead us into a case where, Pfizer failed to keep its commitment to corporate social responsibility as one of the most successful pharmaceutical companies, the choice they made to choose to bear unethical behavior in 1996. “Given the risks and costs of developing a new drug, pharmaceutical companies will jump at oppor- tunities to reduce them, and Pfizer thought it saw one” (Hill, pg 139, 2011). The case in point is the event that Pfizer gave its novel antibiotic “Trovan” to allegedly sick children without the consent of the parents when there was a serious outbreak of meningitis in Kano Nigeria. Pfizer’s choose the risk route and chose to ignore the children’s personal safety in testing. For personal gain and envious reason, this is was a violation of commercial ethics.
She became furious and she cursed the goddesses. The goddesses knew that she wouldn’t learn her lesson so they sent two other goddesses in disguise having a rough life, needing assistants to carry supplies back to their cottage. Deena ran across the goddesses in disguise, asking for help from Deena for her assistants to carry supplies Deena refused. She gave the rudest look and the rudest advice saying “ I they aren’t able to carry their own home supplies to their cottage that is only 20 feet away then don’t carry anything at all “. When the head of goddesses saw what Deena did.
