Summary: Aids – Not Someone Else’s Problem

AIDS- not someone else’s problem

The article is found in the bookMaking Connections by Kenneth J. Pakenham

AIDS (acquired immune- deficiency syndrome) spread among young especially white homosexual males in the United States since late 1970s. And because of medical experts disregarded it, Centers for Disease control’s slowed reaction, and the White House didn’t want to talk bout illegal and homosexual the response to AIDS in U.S was slow in these early days.

Because of that, researchers began to provide some information of this disease. By the early 1980s, researchers found it is a blood transmitted disease , it will damage the human immune system. the nost common transmission routes are: unportected sexual with infrcted person, use of contaminated hypodermic needles in illegal drug use, and contact an infected mother and her child during pregnancy.

Now, AIDS has become an international epidemic because the increased number of HIV infected and lots of people deaths in this disease.
The U.S. government paied a lot of money to provide the information about AIDS. However, the situation is not optimistic because of the anribiral drugs is not effective and developing an effective vaccine is so difficult. while the recent information we have got already, it seen easy to achieve that goal.

Tere are three reason lead to the task of developing prevention program is not easy: the cost to treat AIDS is high; people don’t want talk about their sexual experiences such as homosexual sex, sex with prostitutes, sex with multiple parterns, ans underage sex; and the lack awareness of AIDS.

Experts know that they can’t ignore these obstacles if they want to defeat AIDS.

answer the question

1. How do people pay for their health care?
In my country children almost buy insurance in school. Most of aldut buy the social insurance while some special jobs will the get boon of government such as teachers scientific government staff and armys.

2. What are the strengths and weaknesses of the health care system?
In my country the hospitial system is strengths, while in China family doctor or private doctor is seldom so people always couldn’t get effctive suggestion in their daily life. However the tranditional physicis is pay a lot attention to health care.

3. How could the health care system be imroved.
I think at first government should pay more attention on this issue. establish systemic Disease Prevention System. then healthy insurance is also an important thing to consummate the health care system. What more, To improve citizen’s Health Lifestyle awareness is also an important point.

4. If you are familiar with the health care system of another country, how is that system better or worse.
I am not familiar with anyother countries’ health care system. In most of western countries almost everyone will buy healthy insurance and they will pay lot of tax when they can afford their life, and then when the people retired they can enjoy the government to provide them with good living and health care.

Talking about the two charts of health care

The first chart shows us the “percent of U.S. population by age group”. According to tis chart we can easily find the persentage of older people is increasing is U.S.

The second chart have analysis the most different of wealthier counties and poor countries. And this artile analysis this differents by use data. It makes us can distinguish this different clearily.

Better Health for evvryone:Health Care in Two World.

Title:Better health for everyone:Health care in two world

Author:On Making Connections by Kenneth J. Pakenham

Summary:Health care is a important problem of whole of us. We talk about how can we provide the best health care for our people in two ways. One is based on wealthier nations. Another is based poor nations. Because of the highest standard wealthier nations than poorer countries more difficult to provide health care systems than poor countries. It is because goals are totally different between the wealthier and pooer countries .

the development of Gene therapy

Summary: Gene therapy is a kind of new techology to fight with disease. The method of Gene therapy is change the gene throughout arrangement and reorganization genes. According to the research, gene is the most basic part of our body. So gene therapy is effective to almost disease. Such as cancer, everyone know that cancer is one of the most terrible diseases. People try to find a way to comquer this disease for a long time. But I have to be honest to say we nearly don’t have any measures of this disease. Amost measures are not effective enough until gene therapy was applied. Nowadays along with the development of science and technology gene therapy was used more and more spreadly. Especially Nano-technology and gene therapy that combined into a new method for treating cancer.

the developement of Gene therapy

summary: Gene therapy is a kind of arrangement and reorganization through genetic and other methods to change the genetic lesions. everyone is know that cancer is one of the most terrible disease. people try to found a way to capture this disease for a long time. Some new Gene therapy was developed recently.It’s Nano-technology and gene therapy tht combined into a new method for treating cancer.

reaction: Gene therapy are the rapid development of science and technology under the new medical technology. It is different from our previous treatment, Through the most essential gene in the human body to achieve health care. it’s an significant breakthrough. it will play an important role in medical inthe future.

the new developments in gene therapy research today.

risk and factor of heart disease

according to the report there are many factor lead to the heart disease. Among those risk factors some is cannot be change. such as increasing of age. It is reported over 83 percent of people who die of coronary heart disease are 65 or older. Sex is another factor we cannot change. man always more easily to get this disease. Heredity is also an important factor. However there is also some risk factor we can modify anf control by changing our lifestyle. such as no somking, keep out high blood cholesterol, high blood pressure and obesity and overweight…

poverty has an close conncetion with heart disease

according to the expertise that poverty has an close conncetion with heart disease. First of all if you are poor maybe you will always eat poor nutrition food. Then if you are poor you have to work hard to support you family that will lead you you will living stressed out. what’s more if you don’t have enough money you have to work hard and have no time and money to do exercise.

While stress, poor nutrition, lack of exercise are all have close conncetion with heart disease

picture

Describe : In this picture at the first look I was attractive by the very long military troop. this troop is very neat and all of people is riding horse. They move along the river. At the head of the troop some one is lying on horseback looks very tired. maybe they has forward for a long time.
at the left front in the army is a carriage. However the horse standing in the different direction a prieod of time. In the lower right corner of the picture there is a man standing at here whose one of foot is standing on a wooden piles. And one of his hand is put on his waist. He is looking at the troop sreiously I think he is seem as the commander. In distance, a group of people is stand near the bank.
look at the whole picture there seems to be very barren. there is not any grasses or trees. Just a bank in the middle of the picture. This river is not wide while it’s very long. At the other side of the river is still a good deal of the wasteland.

in others effect about this picture:
When others people see this picture at the frist sight they mingt will attrcatived by the long, tidiness troop.Then they will find the carriage And the commander who is in the corner of the picture.

In my effect about this picture:
I was pay attention to the army. Because it’s in the middle of the picture os very hilite. And another thing I associate is the climate. Because there is mot any plants and looked desolation. We can easily guess the climate here is not good.

Describe
In this picture, a group of soldiery is standing in two rows from high to low tidiness. They all wear the same uniforms, caps and guns. Their eyes fixed on the same place.
what I have to mention is there is a man stand at the head of the troop who doesn’t wear uniform and the gun. the cap also different with others. He looks shrot and thin but take a big drum.
At the far away there is four camp. There should be a place where they live. In this picture the weather looks not good enough there is seldom plants. Some thing is fly on the sky so maybe there is a stronger wind.

In other’s effect: I think the group of militray will attractived most of people’s vision. they stand very tidness too such as the last picture. and wear the same uniform and guns. Then they will look behind of the army and they will find the camp not far away.
In my effect of this picture
I also detect the troop at the fight see. And then the camps. the grassland.
However, when I see this picture again. I find more details of this picture. such as this soldier’s boots is covered with mud. And this is not and grass growns up.
The camp also looks very old and broken. According to the things fly in the sky we can easily guess there is a big winds. Soldier’s life is diffficult
