Overall, the death from lower respiratory infections is the leading mortality in developing countries with 91 deaths per 100,000 (World Health Organization, 2016). However, the age is not shown if these numbers pertain to individuals under forty or if the ages vary. Consequently, in developing countries the mortality rate is 4 out of every 10 children aged 15 or younger while the mortality rate is only 2 out of every 10 adults aged 70 or older (World Health Organization,…

During my research for this paper, I determined that there is a high infant mortality rate among African-American women in the United States. According to a National Vital Statistics Report, United States is ranked the highest among all countries in the world for infant mortality rate (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2014).

In May 1896, less than a year after her execution, the Auckland Star reported that “The Government will introduce a Bill next session to deal with the question of infant life protection, so as to more effectually prevent the state of things that prevailed in the Dean case.” Reading of the parliamentary debates for the Bill reveal no doubt as to the role of Minnie Dean in…

Education has been an important aspect of American politics since its inception. The debate on education continues to be a hot issue with all the economic, social, and political issues attached.

percentage of people using marijuana over the age of 12 has increased from 5.8 percent to 7.5 percent (Drug Facts: Nationwide Trends). On top of that, I found another study stating that “The United States has the highest teenage pregnancy rate and infant mortality rate of all developed countries.” (Don’t Tell My Parents). With facts like these, I find it almost impossible to say we are moving in the right direction. I completely agree with what Bauerlein wants for our youth; however, the fact of…
