Pros And Cons Of The Ebola Crisis

Improved Essays
With globalization there are pros which include but not limited to, communicating better, developing allies for international security, and helping developing countries increase economic power. There are also cons, which may include producing more people that are poor, power (depending on how it is used), spreading/ exposure of disease, sharing of ideas creates violence/ crimes. When it comes to the Ebola crisis this reflects globalization because of the spreading of the disease and exposure to those that are poor and living in poverty. Also the sharing of the outbreak has spread to neighboring parts of Africa, which has created violence amongst citizens and government officials. I think the most prominent in this case is lack of medical advancements

    Ebola Ethical Dilemmas

    1. The greatest ethical dilemma identified by the Commissioned Corps nurses, was the fact that taking care of an Ebola patient put the caregivers own health, and ultimately life, in direct danger. Should nurses be expected and/or required to respond to an epidemic and provide care, even if doing so puts the nurses health and possibly life at risk? Please apply an ethical principle or theory to support your response.…

    The expanding globalization will not contribute to the sustainable prosperity for all people because of how we ship break and have no consideration of the toxic material goes into the ocean and destroys the environment around it, how we create pollution and how we also cut down a lot of our natural resources that we cannot sustain and compensate for how much we use, and how much we can grow back. With all of the things said above, we as a human society cannot support the existence without our basic human needs of water, food, and shelter when we have corrupted our environments to the point where we are not able to gather resources for those needs, and that is why I believe that globalization does not contribute to prosperity for all…

    Safety In Ebola Hysteria

    • 2 Pages

    Is anyone ever truly safe? Some may believe they are safe inside their home, when they’re at school, or even at the movies. However, safety is an illusion because there have been many cases where people have been hurt at their home or school where they assume they are safe. In “The Masque of the Red Death,” the nobles believed they were safe from the Red Death because they were protected by the abbey. In “Ebola Hysteria: An Epic, Epidemic Overreaction,” the American people were losing faith in their government’s ability to keep them safe within the U.S. from the Ebola epidemic.…

    The process of developing new drugs typically involves clinical trials. When a new medication, vaccine, or similar product has been developed, researchers must ensure that they are effective and safe for people to use. To experimentally test that a drug produces the intended effect, most clinical trials use a randomized controlled trial (RCT) design. In this type of experiment, some people are assigned by chance to the active intervention and others are assigned by chance to a controlled comparison group. RCTs usually measure the efficacy of the intervention, or its ability to produce the desired effect.…

    Ethical Issues With Ebola

    • 1813 Words
    • 8 Pages

    The issue of an Ebola epidemic gives rise to obligations for infected individuals in regards to the health of others. It requires the consideration of ethical theories such as utilitarianism and the right for autonomy, where there is a need for individuals infected with the Ebola virus to give up their liberty in order to prevent harm to others. This will be supported with the harm principle and the need for the government to contribute to the public good of preventing the spread of communicable diseases. The Ebola virus is a fatal and contagious disease that can be passed through human contact with an infected person in the form of blood, secretions and bodily fluid (The World Health Organisation, 2015a).…

    Globalization’s impact on public health has been both positive and negative at a seemingly equal rate. The “disappearing” of boarders has lead to the sharing of ideas, goods, resources, technology, etc., that have been able to increase the quality of life and ability to combat sickness and disease for the populations of developed countries. Meanwhile non-developed countries have had an increasingly harder time gaining access to these innovations despite the availability of remedies for ailments their members face. This is disparity is especially troubling considering the global spread of disease and other public health issues. The ease of international travel and trade allows for diseases such as AIDS, SARS, and recently Ebola to penetrate…

    This act of globalizing has both positive and negative impacts to countries. Living in a globalizing world would mean having to diversify by learning about the various cultures, and the collaboration between a country and another. As the Oxford English Dictionary states globalization is the action, process, or fact of making global; the process by which businesses or other organizations develop international influence or start operating on an international scale, widely considered to be at the expense of national identity (OED Online, 2014). With technology advancements, globalization has been evolving faster and faster. It is becoming easier for companies to set up in other countries.…

    The negative attribute of globalization is the fact that for every global action there is also a local action. There is always a winner and a loser with capitalism in conjunction with globalization. Although many nations or global citizens may benefit from globalization and trade agreements through the availability of certain products and/or increased wealth, there is always going to be a loser on the local or regional level due to the affects of the exploitation of their natural resources that are used to manufacture products…
