...importance of globalization for health, the term globalization has for long been used in academic discourse, particularly within the social and political science but relatively new in the discussion within public health. While the processes of globalization are far from straight forward, the concept of health is as well a complex one, which result into no consensus either on the pathways and mechanism through which globalization affects the health of population or on the appropriate policy responses (woodward et al 2001). However, there has been a significant increase interest on the issue of globalization within public health, although a contested one, since authors on public health are still undecided not only on the exact conclusion on the impact of globalization on public health, whether bad or good, but also as to whether globalization has actually cemented its place in the public health lexicon. Nevertheless, it is know that a broad-based public health should take note of significant economic, political and social changes that determine and shape people’s health, and this definitely will call for a proper theoretical approach to globalization in understanding the nature of these contemporary economic, political and social changes (Stuart McClean in Orme et. al. 2007). This essay will describe the relationship between globalization and public health. It will first begin, by exploring history of Globalization to suggest how long this relationship has existed. Secondly, it...

...Introduction The impact of Foreign Aid on the growth and development of less Developed Countries (LDCs) is a matter of strategic importance for the policy makers of these countries in framing their future economic programs and strategies. There has been a significant increase in the flow of foreign aid in the developing countries (Figure 1&2).According to Alberto Alesina, foreign aid is determined by political condition, economic needs and policy considerations of recipients. Despite the advancement of technology and infrastructure, a large number of developing countries still face the acute shortage of basic amenities of life such as Food and shelter. Thus, the influx of foreign aid can be a crucial factor to address these issues. Figure 1 FINN - 321 2 Research Paper Figure 2 The economic theory suggests positive effects of investment on the national income of the country. John Maynard Keynes in his most famous book The Theory of Employment, Interest and Money, argued that the national income of the country increase by more than the amount of investment by a phenomenon known as the MULTIPLER EFFECT. The qualitative effects of the investment such as Foreign Aid include the inflow of new technology, alleviation of poverty and establishment of infrastructure in the host economy. Thus, the increase of Foreign Aid is a positive sign for the future growth of a developing economy. The main objective of this empirical project is to analyze the effects of Foreign Aid on the...

...sex of parent and sex of child in parenting practices. Past investigations of the family society have had a tendency to use as a beginning stage the qualities and practices of conventional rustic society, which are likewise adept to describe provincial to themselves, in any event for the original. It is regularly comprehended that pre-adulthood can be a period when youngsters endeavor to accommodate their own particular goals and needs with the wishes of their guardians. While some teenagers get past this time of time without numerous issues, others have a tendency to experience numerous negative impacts. It is conceivable that the guardian's part in the relationship may have influence in the improvement of the generations’ conduct and disposition towards others. Social values, for example, the American Samoa and Western Samoa accentuation on reliance and family concordance might impact the kind of child parenting practices these generations may decide to embrace one. Research on more helpful child parenting practices is more constrained in spite of the fact that the work that has been carried out again recommends that parents are more prone to be included and sustaining with their kids when they report having encountered the same practices from their own parents during childhood (Chen and Kaplan, 2001; Simons et al., 1993; Cairns et al., 1998).

...History 103 001 Cultural Revolution in China: views on Mao’s Era. Yi Jie Yang 40223109 Professor: Steven Hugh Lee Chinese culture has had great misunderstandings particularly in the western countries owing to the views represented by socio-cultural scholars, historians and literature writers. This paper reviews two books that explore the Cultural Revolution in China with a major focus on the Authors’ Writing Style and their views on Mao’s Era. Writing Style In the book “Born red: a chronicle of the Cultural Revolution.” The author, Yuan Gao, explores the first violent years of China’s Great Proletarian culture revolution. Gao provides an account of his own experience as a Red Guard in the Cultural revolution bringing out the readers as close as they can get to the political vortex that shaped the views of millions of teenagers behind the national movement that brought China to the blink of civil war[1]. Born Red entails more than the recollection of a political nightmare including a concise narrative of an adolescent torn by conflicting loyalties as the author is called upon to participate in the destruction of the world that has nurtured him. The author’s story provides tribute to the durability of cultural traditions at a time when nihilism was at its best. Gao clearly outlines the Cultural Revolution in China in an attempt to create a way for a more egalitarian and...

...Entertainment Media and Culture Julian B. Rosemond III HUM186 8/13/2013 Bernard Asubonteng Entertainment Media and Culture Entertainment media has always been a big influence on American culture and the rest of the world. It has shaped the way we dress, what kind of music we listen to and to some degree how we speak and act. There are even entire television shows in which are strictly dedicated to talking about celebrities and what is going on in his or hers life at the moment. This paper will go in depth as far as how entertainment media has impacted our culture. In the 1950’s television was known to shy away from the current political and other current events going on at the time and seemed to focus more on the standard American living lifestyle (University of Phoenix, 2012). These shows portrayed how a American should be and act, which in turn would inspire every day families in America to act the same way and live by the same values. Television in the 1960’s took a dramatic turn. In this decade politics were introduced and a lot more serious world events going on at that time. The assassination of President John F. Kennedy, the Vietnam War and the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. were just a few of the major events that were televised at that time. The Vietnam War depicted on the television the horrors of the war of children suffering and people being gunned down in the streets (2012). This in turn sparked the generation of “hippies” in...

...While promoting the idea of unity and superiority, many countries followed nationalism’s ideas as they fought in wars throughout Big Era 8. World War I, the Interwar Years, and World War II were three periods during Big Era 8 in which atrocious violence between different countries and groups took place resulting in the death of millions of civilians and soldiers. The driving cause behind these events was nationalism. This concept promoted the idea that everyone that shares traditions, customs, beliefs and language should be united, and created the feeling of a nation’s superiority over other nations. One way that it impacted Big Era 8 was through encouraging groups of people like the Jews, Serbs or Germans to unite all of their people under...

...Resistance towards a government can come in many diverse ways which could all impact key areas of the society whether it is locally, regionally, or even nationally. When it comes to positive or negative impacts of peaceful resistances toward the laws of a free society, I tend to lean towards more of the positive influences as I am a firm believer in non violent acts of disobedience and history can back me up on this. When we travel back to the civil rights movement era, there has definitely been many violent and non violent resistances displayed throughout the era but when you look at the results as a big picture I believe that peaceful protests were what made the civil rights movement a success. Before the civil rights movement protests seemed to come in...

...Health is often defined as complete physical, social, and mental wellbeing; not only the absence of sickness. It is shown that the effects of climate change in the Anthropocene era have an impact on all aspects of human health. While illness and disease are constant elements of human existence, the causes and ways in which they are treated is constantly evolving. Using an ecological framework to examine human sickness and health reminds us that there is no sole cause of either—and that public health is impacted by many—often interacting—elements on both the individual and global level. Professor Monica White defines the Anthropocene as the “current geological period where human activity has been the dominant influence on climate and environment” (White 2/1/2018). The changing climate of the Anthropocene era plays a large role in impacting human health and disease-- from disease outbreaks to natural disasters the effects of climate change have a monumental impact on sickness and health. As an example, the raising global temperatures cause mosquitos to become...

...games that contain a large quantity of violence intensifies aggressive behavior, attitudes, thoughts and affects. Video game violence correlates directly to aggressive attitudes and behaviors of the people who are exposed to violent stimuli, whether meditated or not. 1972 was the introduction to what we know as the multi-million dollar video game industry. The history of the video games spans over three eras (1977-1985) the Atari Era, (1985-1995) the Nintendo Era, and (1995-present) the Play Station Era. Video games during the Atari era contained little violence and that violence was quite intangible. With the advancement of computers it enabled development of more complex and violent video games during the Nintendo era, resulting in the popular game Mortal Kombat that was the first fight game that involved player interaction. We are currently in the third era the Play Station era and it has been significantly enriched by the advancement in computer technology and the switch from game cartridges to CD-ROM. Video games substance has radically changed since the Atari era. According to Carnagey & Anderson (2004) “content analyses of video games show that as many as 89% of games contain some violent content, and about 50% of the games include serious violent actions toward other game characters (p. 3). Research has also shown that “surveys of school children (4th grade through 8th grade) showed that more than 50% preferred games dominated with themes of human violence an...

...John Jackson Professor Orgala March 22, 2014 AFAM-101 The Negative Political and Economic Impacts of Colonialism on Africa In October 1884, Otto von Bismarck, the German Chancellor, summoned European countries to a conference in Berlin, Germany. At the conference diplomats from Europe and America signed the Berlin Convention, which ultimately ended the Berlin Conference. This conference was created to diminish intensifying colonial struggles in Africa. This conference effectively established the boundaries of European powers. The signing of the Berlin Conference led to the scramble for Africa, which is defined as “efforts to fully occupy” portions of Africa that remained independent. With the exception of a couple countries the continent of Africa became controlled by seven European powers, including: Belgium, Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, and Spain. After European powers possessed control over the continent, they began to transform African society and its politics. The reason I have for choosing this topic is that a thorough understanding of colonialism in Africa is key to comprehend the obstacles that the continent of Africa and it’s leaders have to face to lead their countries into prosperity (Schraeder). Peter J. Schraeder, author of the book African Politics and Society: A Mosaic in Transformation, credits the spread of the Roman Empire as the precursor to European colonialism. The Roman Empire’s spread to Africa started in 146 B.C. when the city...

...ELITISM As Romanticism began to fade, the product of its impact on education became apparent. The emphasis on university-educated specialists began to tell as the number of active classical scholars doubled from 141 working in 1750 onwards to 350 post-1850. Half of these scholars were working in Germany. Because of this the growth of a new predominately German class of educated bourgeoisie, the Bildungsbürgertum, had a huge impact on classical scholarship and European scholarship as a whole. The Bildungsbürgertum was a bourgeoisie social class. What distinguished them was university level education, which was mainly theological or classical. Certain class traits were widespread; they were defined by insularity, isolationism, and an utmost...
