As the world’s population expands higher every day, people continue to search for ways to mitigate the problems of their countries reaching the maximum amount of people it can handle. When China went under new leadership in the late nineteen forties, they even tried to make their population grow quicker (BGE). They called this program the “Great Leap Forward”. The only thing this leap propelled forward to was a time of immense poverty and famine(BGE). Was China’s one child policy a future proof…

Vulnerable Population I believe the vulnerable population will continue to grow. The United States population is expected to continue to grow at 0.9% per year. It is estimated there will be 400 million people by 2039 and over 400 million by 2050. The growth is mostly going to be from many of immigrants coming into the United States. By that time the United States would see a growth in Hispanic and Asian population triple. Additionally, the population will also be older than what we see today. It…

Evolution is defined as, “the process by which different kinds of living organisms are thought to have developed and diversified from earlier forms during the history of the earth.” As a human race we are always evolving. It was no different thousands of years ago as humans knew that in order to survive, they would have to adjust their lifestyles. Humans changed from a nomadic existence of hunters and gathers to a sedentary existence in agricultural villages in order to evolve and ultimately…

I would like to open our eyes to the Vietnamese culture. The population of Vietnamese immigrants in the united states has been consistently growing over the last 25 years (“Vietnamese Immigrants in,” 2016). The steady increase of Vietnamese immigrants has gone from 231,000 in 1980 to 1,292,00 in 2014 (“Vietnamese Immigrants in,” 2016). They account for “3 percent of the nation’s 42.4 million immigrants” (“Vietnamese Immigrants in,” 2016). Interesting “their names are written in the following…

The divorce rates in America are steadily decreasing. Actually they are at their lowest point in years. Many people believe that more than 50 percent of marriages will end in divorce and for the past 40 years this may have been true, but there has been a decline in recent years. Changes in the laws and different views by society may have a roll to play in this number and it may explain why it has decreased. Couples now are waiting later in life to get married. They are waiting until they are…

Rosenfield’s article A. "Maternal Mortality – A Neglected Tragedy Where Is the M in MCH?" (1985) disputes that physicians are neglectful of their roles in regards to maternal health issues. He notes instead of facing the facts, obstetricians are swirling around the problem that women are dying due to maternal mortality, even though this cause of death for women could be prevented. Overall I feel through Rosenfield’s work it should be suggested that more policy makers, health professionals, and…

The strength in the lower limbs is recognized as a strong predictor of functional limitations in the elderly (Hyatt, Whitelaw, Bhat, Scott, & Maxwell, 1990), both institutionalized (Bassey et al., 1992; Fukagawa, Wolfson, Judge, Whipple, & King, 1995; Rantanen, Guralnik, Ferrucci, Leveille, & Fried, 1999) as those who live independently in the community (Foldvari et al., 2000; Gross, Stevenson, Charette, Pyka, & Marcus, 1998).
