    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 really enjoyed this article. It's nice to inform people about the reasons why people struggle with finding access to good mental health care. A lot of the world is misinformed as to why people are unable to access help for their mental issues.

    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.

    Euthanasia mean should a person suffering from an illness be able to decide when they die? The web site demonstrates all the pros and cons to what assisted suicide is.

    I like the view this article has because I don't necessarily agree or disagree with the death penalty. It's probably important to assess all the various sides to such a controversial issue.

    Wow! This is a topic I didn't even think of researching but is so interesting. You have definitely sparked my interest and I'm beginning to like this assignment more and more! Thank you for thinking outside the box!

    This article is very interesting! I don't know if i agree or disagree with people who are ill wanting to end their life or not.

    This website states the opinions of those who support physician assisted suicide as well as those who oppose it. This is a social justice issue because a patient who is very ill and suffering should have the right to physician assisted suicide.

    This is something only me and my close friends can really talk about! In my opinion i believe yes but maybe rules should be added like approval from the family or a doctors approval.

    I have also found this topic interesting and very controversial. I have to say I'm on the fence here because as a healthcare worker, I do see some very sad situations within patients and their families. However, if someone is so sick to where they would want to end their life it is hard to say if they're in the right mind to make a decision like that.

    Physician Assisted suicide should be treated like abortion from my prospective. It should be heavily considered and heavily regulated and substantial counseling should go into leading up to the event itself. One thing to consider if you refuse someone to go out on their own terms, is they may find another way which may not result in a peacful passing for them.
  • seanburns89 on 02 Sep 19
     
    I think that this topic of Physician-Assisted Suicide takes the topic of suicide that we find extremely tragic and makes it okay. This idea of allowing people the choice to die with the assistance of a physician is just as tragic as people committing suicide.
  • atambience on 03 Sep 19
     
    I like this source because it shows both sides of the issue. Not to mention how much information has. I feel like I could spend all night reading this.
  • smileyamber08 on 03 Sep 19
     
    I have never really looked into this topic and realized that it is an issue, so I love reading more about it.
  • and2181940 on 03 Sep 19
     
    If someone is very ill and there is nothing that anyone can do to help they should have the right end there own lives. It's horrible having to live long days, suffering and waiting for your life to end.

    Harald Krieg talks about in his article about how economic prosperity falls under social ills such as obesity to homicide. The article also states that countries that suffer a bigger income gap often result in more social ills as well. The good news is that it definitely has started to see the light of day in the recent years.

    A lecture, which addresses mental health as a social issue. Discusses the mass suffering and stigma attached to mental illness.The cost to our economy and delayed treatment. The majority of public funding goes to treat psychosis, when there are so many more suffering from anxiety and depression.

    Mental illness has a stigma attached to it and this article brings up good points that it is more so a public health issue. It discusses reasons why people do not want to address their own mental health issues, and also how those with mental health issues are effected in every day life.

    This website states that those suffering with mental illnesses experience social injustice because of the social stigma that a pill is needed rather than seeking treatment from therapists. When those seeking help from a doctor for anxiety, they will most likely prescribe a drug rather than sending you to get help from a therapist.

    This article explains how people with DS are condemned. They are creative, happy people and should be treated as such.

    Mental health has a large spectrum of definitions. Down Syndrome is often misunderstood, just like most mental illnesses. April's mother shares how her experience changed her views on Down Syndrome and talks about the injustice of the "Down test."

    Suicide is something that is a huge issue nowadays. So many people are affected by this illness. It is a huge Social Justice issue that needs to be resolved.
  • anonymous on 27 Jan 18
     
    Suicide is definitely a major issue now days. I think there are a host of problems suicide/suicidal thinking can stem from; meaning that it in itself is not always the issue, but rather the result of other issues. I like how this sight has a list of actions that can be taken to help people with these tendencies.

    Is the loss of civil liberties worth the convenience of technology?

    This is such a compelling question, isn't it? We all rely on technology to make our lives "easier." But what price do we pay? We have now had to start worrying about new things such as what our online presence tells current and future employers.
  • christiana333 on 05 Sep 16
     
    So far it does seem to be worth it but it could a whole different feeling in the future. The only effect I see is annoying ads that mysteriously relate to what I have searched for in Safari. I'm a little bit scared of what someone with ill intentions could do with all my information collected by technology.
  • luminitaparavat on 28 Jan 17
     
    Very controversial. We like the commodity of using the technology, how easy it is for us to do almost anything, but then we ask ourselves, and I think everyone here, is it safe. Is my information safe, secure. what if someone, somewhere, decides to play and steals my information. It is scary. And, how can I protect myself and be 100% sure that nothing happens. As christiana333 mentioned, everything that we search, shows up as advertisement in whatever page we open. We have now the smart phones, cute ones and lots of apps that help us in many ways, but do we really need them? Or, should we just keep the basic functions of a phone and nothing else, because really what we need is a phone to communicate?
  • monique102 on 28 Jan 17
     
    Technology just makes our lives so much easier. Like ktfaithtom mentioned, but what price do we pay or will we pay? I use my phone for pretty much anything and I always think what if someone does steal my information? As a mother I worry about my childrens privacy as well. What are the right steps to making sure our information is secured correctly?
  • smagenot on 29 Jan 17
     
    It's an interesting article and topic. It makes one wonder if we have really gone so far down the proverbial rabbit hole with technology that the levels of privacy we once enjoyed are now lost to us forever.

    Have you ever wondered how grocery stores know just what coupons to mail you. Stores like Fry's use our membership number to gather information to determine our spending habits. Everything about our lives is stored in some computer somewhere. Three times last year I received a notice from a two major stores and one hospital that my information may have been stolen by an employee. Wow, we are not even safe at the hospital. I used to call my boy the conspiracy squad. After reading this article, may be I should have been listening to them.

    Technology has and will always be a huge part of my life. Having grown up with a brother heavily into gaming, programming, and IT work I got to see first hand the in's and out's of how the web works. It all comes down to how you manage your own security. Of course, there will always be the paranoia of being monitored but that has been happening for a long time. It all comes down to being cautious with what you do alone and or over technologies.

    This book captures the many facets of information gathering by digital dossiers. It reminded me of the recent unveiled programs called Tempora and Prism used by the United Kingdom and NSA. The extent of these programs capacity to siphon user data iset deeply guarded and not known in detail, however the dossiers gathered by our internet traffic on an individual basis should alarm users. I belive privacy is priceless, if I told my grandfather who passed in 2006 the extent we divulge our personal information on social media he would probably find it unbelievable. He was born in 1920 became an officer in the United States Air Force and served in WW2. The idea of privacy has changed with each generation. The way we perceive the handheld devices we all carry as young as the age of 5, may seem to our greatest generation who is currently exiting our society as a mere tracking device for big brother. This reading was very informative.
