Explain the term ‘globalisation’ and the role that multinational companies play in the development of globalisation. Globalisation is the process by which the world is becoming increasingly interconnected as a result of massively increased trade and cultural exchange. Globalisation has increased the production of goods and services and has therefore lead to increased trade between countries. This trade encourages countries to work together and removes trade barriers such as quotas and tariffs. This increased openess allows countries to specialise in producing goods which they have a comparitve advantage in (this means they can produce goods at lower unit costs) A multinational Company is a corporation that has its facilities and other assets in at least one country other than its home country.

Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) affects millions worldwide. According to the American College of Cardiology CVD is the largest single cause of death among women. The economic impact in the United States although difficult to estimate figures show an amount over $400 billion was spent in 2006 on health care as a result of lost productivity compared to other deadly diseases, (American Heart Association [AHA], 2007). The cohort follow-up study can either be conducted from a prospective or retrospective view. The cohort prospective study collects data from a group formed and monitors over a period.
P4P programs are here to stay. These programs are pushed by private insurers and the Federal Government. According to,“SHAPING THE FUTURE OF PAY-FOR-PERFORMANCE PROGRAMS” (2005) it is critical to have the medical profession involved in the planning of the incentives for P4P programs isdeveloped. They will need to be more involved in the discussions with the insurers and employers about the P4P programs. P4P programs are the directions the health care industry is going and improvement to make the P4P programs work for the best outcome is critical.
Making a Difference (Department of Health (DH) 1999) suggests that effective care is the product of interagency working. Professionals working in collaboration provide care which is designed to meet the needs of the patient. This concept was further promoted with the publication of The NHS Plan (DH 2000a) a ten year programme of reform practice. The NHS Plan (DH 2000a) aimed to create a service designed around patient needs, encouraging professionals to work together to meet the needs of patients. This shift in attitudes towards healthcare was instrumental in shaping the way in which interprofessional working is viewed and adopted today.

Before I talk about the direct policy on smoking, I thought I would share some facts about tobacco. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths among both men and women in the United States. Smoking-related deaths/health issues effect an estimated four hundred and thirty eight thousand American lives each year. Ninety percent of lung cancer deaths among men and eighty percent of lung cancer deaths among women are attributed to smoking. People who smoke are up to six times more likely to suffer a heart attack than nonsmokers, and the risk increases with the number of cigarettes smoked.
Heart attack, stroke and cancer are usually listed as leading cause of death in America. However, the leading actual causes of death are risk factors that can be modified. Obesity is epidemic associated with higher rate of hypertension, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. Significant racial disparities in the prevalence of obesity have been reported. According to the Journal of Community Health, “the prevalence of obesity is significantly increased from 1985 to 2011 (8.6% vs. 22.8 %).
Cardiovascular Cardiovascular Enlarge image. A third of all deaths worldwide is due to cardiovascular diseases, thus constituting the leading cause of death worldwide. According to the World Health Organization, there are over 300 risk factors associated with cardiovascular disease and stroke, these risk factors currently affecting people worldwide. Contrary to general belief according to which cardiovascular disease mainly affects men in developed countries, over 80% of deaths caused by cardiovascular diseases occur in countries with medium and low levels of living, almost equally among men and women. Chest pain, fatigue and other symptoms of heart problems are very obvious and known by everyone.
It is becoming a serious epidemic, killing thousands of people a year. There are things that can be done to prevent and change the increasing number of people who are suffering from obesity. In the next few paragraphs I will tell you about obesity and what is causing it, what health problems can occur, and what we can do to stop it. The Culprit “In 1999-2007, 64.5% of Americans were found to be overweight, and 30.5% were obese. Extreme obesity
