Ethics Paper David Duncan BUSN 102 Professor Timothy Bianco March 6, 2011 Ethics in the Pharmaceutical Industry The pharmaceutical industry has many controversial issues connected with it. I chose to discuss the issue of buying prescription medications on the internet or Medication Broker Services. This issue has touched my life personally and seems to be growing every day. Through my research I found out that tens of thousands of website sell prescriptions drugs online(http://behindonlinepharma.com). Though it was made illegal to sell prescription drugs through the Ryan Haight act, which explicitly prohibit the on-line sale of these drugs without at least one in person doctor’s office visit, the problem is still rampant.

Nduka Onuchukwu Shiladitya, Sen College Writing September 18, 2012 Rough Draft The Individuals Right The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks shows how an individual’s personal rights can be effortlessly breached when it involves medical science and research. Being in their position, doctors could say many things to a patient that the patient could deem true, and what was really the truth, was kept confidential to those who only studied science. “Everybody knew black people were disappearing cause Hopkins was experimenting on them!” (Skloot 169) clarified the mindset of the people, specifically Bobbette in this quote, who did not know and were kept out of the loop. The conflict of the plot, and in society at the time, is whether it wrong for a doctor to take samples from a person’s body without them knowing? It could be seen as immoral, but what if Henrietta had been told her cells were going to be used for testing?

I am curious to know why the insurance companies started this trend on restrictive billing practices or how come the contracts were not clearly understood by each Payee. I was shocked to see how recent this article was. With updated national licensing requirements for PTAs, in a perfect world, these insurance companies should have been educated and informed on the PTA role before encountering these billing issues. PT being not only a focus on reactive but preventative medicine, I would hope that principal or prevention would be engrained in this profession; shouldn’t the role of the PTA been clearly defined
With Cad Mex Pharma’s; as with any global business there are always ethical dilemmas. As far as the viral spread; the average thoughts of a person is to help stop an epidemic.

Rhetorical Analysis of Sicko In Sicko, Michael Moore presents a relatable documentary of the disintegrated U.S. healthcare system which deprives a lot of Americans the health treatment that they need. As the film progresses, he fulfils his argument that Americans need to fight for Universal healthcare by unfolding the flaws of the American healthcare industries and contrasting it with the socialized healthcare in other countries such as France, Canada, Cuba, and Great Britain. Moore further supports his argument by showing real life horror stories and testimonies of insured working class Americans and the healthcare workers. He also uses rhetorical appeals to persuade the audience such as showing them (the insured or uninsured people) the agony and even death that the ordinary people had to endure all because of the American healthcare system that is inhumanely declining health treatment for making profit. This gives the audience an emotional response mainly anger, hatred towards the American healthcare companies, sympathy towards the afflicted and fear of being one of the victims of American healthcare system.
One of the main techniques suggested by the World Health Organisation to prevent TB is the Advocacy, Communication and Social Mobilisation approach (WHO 2007:1). It is defined by three strategies: firstly, the call for advocacy by non-governmental agencies on individual governments to improve their work on TB prevention (rather than by treating TB once it has erupted). Advocacy aims to keep the issue of TB on the table of health departments. Secondly, it argues that communication is critical for how populations can be alerted to the issue of TB and educated about how transmission takes place. By educating the public through channels of communication that the public can access and understand, behaviour around TB can be changed.
Blair Zuo English 135-06 Prof. V. Warder July 29, 2014 The effects of the use of Bottled Water Whether to prohibit the development of bottled water has been an issue in society, some experts suggest drinking more tap water in term of environment protection and health care, however, the bottled water companies hold a strong opinion that there is no connection between these two things. In the “Water bottles- A letter to the Editor and a response” written by John Challinor and Richard Rolke and the news “In Depth: Consumers: Bottled Water” reported by CBC News, both passages depict the effects of the use of bottled water through three different rhetorical strategies, which are language choices, the use of examples and the use of persuasive appeal. Language choice is the first difference between two passages. Although both authors expound heir statement with logical reasons, the CBC news is more specialized while the letter tends to be easier for the audience to understand. In the “Water bottles - A letter to the Editor and a response”, Challinor quotes that “about 70 per
