(4 points) Political problems, such as Somalia forcing out the president, have caused failed state. Failed state means that a country has no government, and nobody is in control. 4. How has the handling of diversity in Africa stopped the economy of Africa from growing? (8 points) Because the only handling of diversity in Africa, is war.
Myth #5: Most of the poor are older Americans. About 10 percent of people 65 years and older are poor, but 35 percent of the poor are children under 18. Between 2000 and 2008, the incomes of people ages 25-54-especially men-decreased about 11 percent but increased by 8 percent for men ages 65-74. Myth #6: The poor get special advantages. The poor pay more for goods and services than do wealthier people.
Although communicable diseases account for more deaths, the country is currently in a stage of epidemiological transition, illustrated by a decline of communicable diseases and the growth of NCDs (Ministry of Health). Generally speaking, in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), the burden of disease associated with NCDs is greater than the burden of disease associated with communicable diseases and injuries. In LAC, NCDs account for nearly 70 percent of deaths. Also, in LAC, about 50 percent of all years of life lost are related to NCDs, whereas only 30 percent are due to communicable diseases, and 20 percent are due to injuries (R, Keith). NCDs affect everyone, from the rich to the poor.
Jeff Doyle Sundol WRC 1013-11 1 Nov. 2010 Are Poor Americans Actually Poor? The number of Americans in poverty today is rather shocking. There are currently thirty-seven million Americans who are classified as being "in poverty" (Rector 2). Many Americans are classified below the line of poverty, but in retrospect to the rest of the world, Americans seem far from poor. America is considered to be upon the most prominent and successful nations in the world; so, why is over a tenth of our population deemed as "poor" by our government?
In the bible, we read that black plague was a curse from God to punish for the sins that the infected had committed. When scientist had figured out that, the disease was not a result of sins, or spiritual inadequacy that the devastating illness was caused by bacteria from fleas on rats. Black Death was the most deadly disease that viciously killed millions of people during the middle Ages. In Africa, they believe plenty in witchcraft, and it is sometimes the only explanation as long as no other explanation can be found for any diseases. In West Africa, Buruli ulcer was an infectious disease caused by mycobacterium ulcerous.
Every day more people die in America than are born. Any increases in population since 1972 have been due to immigration.2 The sociological perils we face are not those of population explosion, but population reduction. The Population Research Institute agrees, and concluded, “Our long-term problem is not too many children, but too few children.”3 The legalization of abortion resulted in a drastic reduction of the number of children in this country. By 1980 there were 6.5 million fewer school-age children in America than just a decade earlier. This required the closing of nine-thousand elementary schools.4 Legalized abortion has resulted in over 46 million fewer taxpayers in America to support the elderly.
According to Iceland, “The poorest 20% of the global population has not benefited much from general improvements. Of the world’s population living in developing and transition economies, 2.8 billion, or almost half, live on less than $2 a day.” There has been an extreme measure of poverty throughout the world that has lead to material and income deprivation across several regions. Sadly among the wealth nation in the world, the United States has a greater proportion of people who are poor. The United States having the highest GNP per capita in the world, at $26,400, has higher levels of both absolute and relative poverty than other rich countries in Northern and Western Europe. This reflects inequality and an uneven distribution (both factors that attribute to poverty) of wealth in
So if you have stopped thinking of AIDS as a global emergency , conceder a few numbers . In 1984 , when scientists identified the virus that causes the illness , fewer 4,500 American had been stricken. Today world wide some 5,000 people are now being infected each day . Only in American about 1 million are infected with the virus-and by the end of the decade most of the people will be sick..The AIDS epidemic is far from over. It's not even under control.
The dignity of many Africans was lost as they were forced to do the European’s every bidding. The Europeans had them work for them, do everything for them and in return the Africans got nothing (Doc 4,6,7). In conclusion, the colonization of Africa was very negative with a few select positives. Colonization of Africa led to many Africans being forced to work for the Europeans looking to make money while they suffered. After the Europeans left, the Africans infrastructure was devastated since there was no skilled workers left to run the newly formed, independent countries.
