Food insecurity as a symptom of a social disease - 3 views

  •  
    Food security is a right that every individual has, the article helps brings justice to how important it is for families to have the foods they require to survive. As the rich grow richer, more and more families are left without food. They live with their worries on how to get food on the table and the problem is only spreading.
  •  
    I like the take this article has in regards to physicians needing to encourage more information about resources for their patients. This article breaks down key points on how food insecurity is a social disease that can be worked on and helped at all levels of society.
  •  
    Hearing that food insecurity is a rising problem today is disheartening, but it is also not surprising. With a growing population and an economy that squeezes natural resources dry, food is becoming less abundant. I like the take this article takes on food insecurity. They are trying to have physicians help patients cope with it. I doubt how helpful that will be because people who experience food insecurity might not have access to a physician either.

Immigration and Covid Vaccines - 3 views

  •  
    This article focuses on the fear between immigrants and receiving covid vaccines. It has been stated by the DHA that immigration officials will not be arresting any immigrant who wishes to receive a vaccine. They believe everyone should receive one regardless of legal status in order to help fight the pandemic.
  •  
    This article provides information on how the pandemic has effected us, humans / people, as a whole. It states that no immigrant will be detained or arrested when getting vaccinated and / or needing emergency assistance. It shows how people and government agencies are working together to fight the pandemic.
  •  
    This article is very heart-warming, as it describes how the authorities will not arrest illegal immigrants at vaccine drives. The authors do raise the question about what happens to illegal immigrants after receiving the vaccine. The U.S. has a history of mishandling Immigration. COVID only complicates the situation.

  • ...2 more comments...
  •  
    I enjoyed reading this article because it was very informative. Not only did the article provide statistics in regards to how much water we need for our everyday food intake but it also allows the reader to understand how much money is put into making that food for us to eat. It focuses on the fact that switching to a vegan like or vegetarian diet worldwide would be significantly beneficial to our growing population.
  •  
    This article had interesting but scary statistics. Especially the statistic on how much water it takes to produce certain food items. I never realized just how much water society uses to function. In addition, humans are reaching the carrying capacity of the world far too fast. The author makes good suggestions for how to fix this issue. The solutions are not only answering the problem of a food shortage but also climate change.
  •  
    This was honestly eye opening seeing how much water is used everyday for even the most simplest of things. Reading about how much water it takes to produce food and how much of ends up being wasted in alarming. I recommend this article for anyone who has a topic that relates to this social issues at it provided in depth details on the matter. It's crazy knowing how much water we use daily without knowing how valuable it is, especially now.
  •  
    The article is so true about water scarcity being our demise, it will be such an catastrophe for the food crisis to strike especially in Arizona. The drought plays a huge part in supporting water scarcity, it dries out our lands and empties out the rivers. There are some good solutions to how to resist against climate change.

  •  
    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.

  •  
    This is a great government website full of material on worker rights. Also this has information on work harassment and (ADEA) The Age Discrimination in Employment Act.
  •  
    I was researching articles on ageism and this falls right into place with it. I did not about the specific age number that the Age Discrimination Employment Act pertains too so this information was very insightful.
  •  
    I did not know much about age discrimination so this website was very informative. This is a good site to refer to if you need to uncover any information on the topic.
