This article targets those who deny the existence of climate change, despite the fact that Texas is experiencing a hurricane. It explains the conditions needed in order for a hurricane to occur and relates them back to a rise in temperature over the years, which supports the realty that is climate change. The article discusses a fair amount of politics, suggesting a unity between parties in order to acknowledge and prepare for what nature has in store, as NASA had predicted a hurricane in Houston some time ago.

This article is current and it really challenges the idea of climate change. It is scary to think that these hurricanes are going to get worse. It provides great points to how climate change is getting worse, and how it will continue to increase the amount of hurricanes.

This article is very interesting. I can't help but think about how bad the other two hurricanes heading towards the U.S. and neighboring countries are going to be.

This article explains how children in lower-class families in Moldova have a very low opportunity to participate in early education. The author talks about how this can be a disadvantage for their future.

This article was somewhat heart breaking to read. It talks about the differences in attendance of children in Moldova between early education and secondary education. Many of the children are not passing the exams when reaching the secondary education, thus some tend to drop out or many do not even attend at all.

Lower-class families are having this problem everywhere and its a problem that needs to be fixed because it damages the future of these students and their possible careers.

Eleanor Longden university student completing her PhD. in psychology who also suffers from schizophrenia.

In general a good website for all topics concerning health. I have included a direct link to the obesity section. 2 in 3 American adults or either overweight or obese. This makes America the leading country in problems such as, diabetes and heart disease.

I also bookmarked an article about child obesity. It is very informative on statistics about child obesity and how much it is growing.

I also found that not only obesity is linked to diseases and disabilities but it can affect a person mentally. The article I found explained how a persons mental health is what makes the process of preventing obesity more challenging

As this title indicates, this article details various barriers to mental healthcare access in America. Among these barriers are financial challenges, lack of healthcare professionals, and social stigma surrounding mental illness.

I too enjoyed this article. As I'm aspiring to be a psychiatrist, issues such as these are very important to me, especially considering that I have suffered from mental illness as well. There are indeed many stigmas that surround mental illness, and we as a society are just barely beginning to understand the sensitive nature of these illnesses, as well as how to effectively treat them.

Thank you for sharing this article! I believe it's important to understand why it's so hard for so many people to get treatment for mental illness. It's not as easy as go to the gym or just don't think about it. It's important to get rid of the stigma and economic barriers that surround mental illness and treatment.

This article focuses on the interrelation between poverty and health. It gets into further detail about the reasons why people may become extremely poor because of their health situations. It also implements different solutions to help those who find themselves in situations like these.

This article gave me information on healthcare from a perspective of the people living at the poverty level. It focuses on how different strategies and projects made directly to change the affect of this healthcare system in its current status.

This article does well in representing how complicated poverty is. I liked how the authors showed how health care is a cause of poverty, and poor health care is also a sign of poverty. It goes to show the dual nature of many social issues and why solutions are increasingly challenging. The solutions offered by the authors look like they would be effective, but executing them might be difficult. It would be hard because these solutions are very general, and they would cost money as many of them require the government to force the cost of healthcare down.
