Assuming current smoking trends continue, as many as 650 million of the people alive today will die from smoking-related disease.

Title: Italian Culture and Nursing 1.1 Predominant health-seeking beliefs and behaviors The elderly Polish-Americans significantly value stoicism and are skeptical about healthcare services. They seek healthcare services mainly when symptoms persist and interfere with their body functioning. Many aged above 45 do not discuss their medical condition and treatment with their healthcare providers, and hence they accept the prescribed treatment due to fear of becoming dependent. In addition, elderly Polish-Americans avoid healthcare services if they believe they’ll not be in position to pay the medical bill, and only do so when their health condition becomes health threatening (Purnell et al, 2003). Furthermore, they fall short of
Moreover, Obama is looking to increase taxes on affluent Americans to fund a “$634 billion health care ‘reserve fund’ aimed at reforming the system” according to Ed Henry in his article Obama Seeks Tax Hike, higher Medicare Payments. Considering the government would see itself as providing healthcare for every American citizen, even supposing it is American taxpayers that are footing this bill; this will give the government a great argument for taxing many other goods that Americans buy. Cigarettes, fast food, and excess coffee consumption will be deemed as uncertain behavior and therefore will be taxed much more heavily. Also, the question needs to be raised as to what else is risky behavior. Kayaking, bicycle riding, and motorcycles can all be argued to be dangerous.

A common gender stereotype is naturally, that office work should be left to the males, and females should focus on household chores such as looking after the children and housework. Those who express any desire to enter the workforce are generally discouraged if not frowned upon. The community, or in this case, the country’s workforce is greatly affected by such a stereotype due to the following reasons: Firstly, having an employee or colleague of a different gender might not be such a bad thing as a woman would be able to offer alternative viewpoints to male workers. Particularly for companies that cater to the general public’s needs.

Women especially, believe this and think that every man is not willing to show his emotions. Although the stereotype may be true, it does not mean that men do not feel or have the same emotions as women. Mostly, men do not tend to show their emotions to the public like women are able to do. We continue to promote the stereotype by not displaying our emotions. I think that men have a much better control over their emotion and what they want to show the world, probably because we have a difficult time displaying emotion than women do.
