Germ theory of disease

established that, Dexter takes after his mother. It is interesting to a look at Season 2 Episode 28 “Germ Warfare”. The flu is traveling in the Dexter household and the boy genius is the only one who doesn’t have it. His mother gives him his breakfast and starts lecturing him about maintaining his health before he catches the flu. While she begins to sneeze, it spreads towards the table, and the germs begin to move to his plate. Grossed out he says “ewwww” and runs to the hallways, where he…

Guns, Germs, and Steel Inequality in the world has stemmed from geographic luck. When an area has a stable food supply, it’s people can spend extra time on inventing new things. Some areas have fertile soil, and crops that are nourishing and easy to harvest. However, other places are not so lucky, with dry soil and crops that have little nutritional value. Jared Diamond, an ecologist and anthropologist, has a theory that all inequality in the world started from the idea of “geographic luck”. Or…

adaptation of Germ Theory, which was popularized in many ways by the disease and treatment of ill soldiers during Civil War. *add info about each medical innovation (amputation, inhaler, chest wounds, facial reconstruction, prosthetics, hospital architecture, pharmacy) also add some sources from POA cuz we used the notes* SANITATION…

of medicine has led to several scientific breakthroughs. Naturally, the theory of evolution is the glue that holds the two together, and is said to give science its purpose. As medical science continues to make much needed progress in the development of new medications and treatments, its findings can be exploited by thoroughly exploring evolution. Through the vast scholarship on biological systems, we know that both disease-causing organisms and their victims evolve—in some cases very rapidly.…

The bad sanitation led to a very dirty city with diseases flourishing, along with a sewer system that was leaking into the drinking wells. John Snow is a physician/anesthesiologist who first makes the link between Cholera and drinking water after studying previous cases. Snow founds the epidemiology center for the city but struggles with medical technology not being very advanced at the time and only being able to look upon incorrect means of disease transmission. Cholera attacked all…

great surprise that over history, those who presented new visuals have been seen as a threat to the establishment. The information we hear will analyze the use of stigmatization to persecute various immigrant ethnic groups. Americans would associate disease with a certain ethnic group they felt was inferior. Despite the negativity of associating stigmas with social groups, nativist attitudes proved instrumental in improving public health for the better. The apprehension felt over new cultures…

harmful germs and viruses. Within each individuals body we have white blood cells, which aid in the protection against disease. When these cells detect a germ the immune cells replicate, release antibodies, and then tag the germs for disposal. Afterwards, memory cells are creates so when the same virus comes back the body will be prepared. In order to fight against possible infectious diseases, scientists have developed vaccines, which have been proven to successfully decrease the rate of…

the ability to learn, to think in a symbolical form, to manipulate and modify language, and to create and use tools in order to adapt to their environment. Culture is very important, however, it does not matter according to Jared Diamond. In Guns, Germs, and Steel, Jared Diamond…

microscopes have changed science and medicine drastically as it’s creation has allowed people to discover new viruses and view microorganisms which are unable to be seen by the naked eye. The microscope has also given us the opportunity to diagnose diseases such as cancer, anemia and due to the microscope’s magnification, it is also able to conduct tests such as the ‘Bone Marrow Test’. Bone Marrow Tests portray the health of the bone marrow and determine whether the bone marrow is creating…

is the first episode which starts off the Guns, Germs, and Steel documentary. This episode kicks off in a country called Papua New Guinea due to the major impact that it had toward Jared Diamond’s findings. In New Guinea, Jared Diamond became inspired to understand why some societies are not as advanced as others. This question has never really entered my mind until I watched this documentary and learned more about Jared’s well thought out theories. In this episode, hunter-gathering, farming,…
