Rural Women and Cardiovascular disease INTRODUCTION Health disparities are many and affect a great part of our population. We must deal with these issues in order to assure proper medical treatment and care for our population as a whole. “A health disparity is defined as a particular type of health difference that is closely linked with social, economic, and/or environmental disadvantage” (Health People 2020). My focus of this…

research that at the time of his writing, the province of Saskatchewan actually had no strategy which considered the specific challenges of the ageing population. In the same research, Marier pointed out that a huge portion of Canada 's seniors live in rural areas, which will make the administration of health care and social services costly and challenging. I will also point out how Remie (2013) outlined that lower fertility rates as compared to prior generations. The birth rate in Canada is…

African Americans share many characteristics, beliefs, and values; however, each individual member of this culture is unique. I was born and raised in a small rural area called Boykins, Virginia in Southampton County. The history of slavery this area dates back to 1831. Slavery’s pivotal role in Southampton County has been recognized by the community, schools, and news reporters. Slavery is embedded in the African American roots. Today, African Americans, including myself, have experience…

Growing up on a farm in rural South Dakota, one learns to go without. Country living often entails going without the newest clothes, technology, or even modern necessities. Unfortunately, it can also include the postponement of medical intervention when health begins to fail. The maldistribution of rural health professionals has created a gap in healthcare for anyone choosing to live in a rural setting. Although I have experienced some difficulties growing up in rural South Dakota, it has not…

by where you were raised more than current surroundings. As far as /Sir-up/, /Seer-up/, /Sih-rip/ I thought I would find that those currently in rural areas would say /Sir-up/, those in city would say /Seer-up/. I was not sure where to place /Sih-rip/, so on that end I thought it must be a suburban or city term. In WV those who live in more rural areas tend to say /Sir-up/, those in the city pronounce /Seer-up/, and I have never encountered anyone who used the pronunciation /Sih-rip/. This…

I picked this photo because I love what it represents. First let me explain the setting of this place, this is the Romanian country side in the 1920’s, even though the time period is close to 100 years ago this type of work you can still see while riding through the country today. This is part of my culture and I can see part of my family in this very photo, the only change would be the clothing; that has changed a lot. When I look at this photo it brings me to a different time and place,…

Vulnerable populations The vulnerable populations in China are those who live in rural areas of China, women, and children. Rural-urban differences in China has presented some unique challenges for rural China. As China economy increased so did the gap between rural and urban China and this illustrates institutional legacies of socialism. During the period of rapid industrialization, the Communist Party leaders implemented policies that made a clear distinction between the two by directing…

the youth by integrating them and therefore creating “common objectives” that would drive the country. In terms of its economy, Rwandan living below the poverty line are estimated respectively in rural and urban areas as 65.7% and 14.3% moreover, it is important to note that 45% of the population in rural areas at that time could not meet their food needs.

Can one imagine food lasting for weeks? Can one imagine not having to share the same bucket for bodily excretions? How about staying cool at the touch of a switch? Before the Rural Electrification Act was enforced, people endured austere conditions, such as poor heating in houses and unsanitary environments. Because of electricity, things such as refrigeration, air conditioning, and indoor plumbing are now able to function. Due to electricity, people no longer have to make tiresome trips to…

My Little Country Side My special place is in Ravia, Oklahoma, it is a small abandon chicken farm in the middle of no where. It is my special place because I went there as a child, its secluded from other people, its absolutely breath taking at sun down, and I think other people should get to see the beauty of the country side. As a child I went down to this chicken farm in Ravia, Oklahoma, to ride my four-wheeler with my step father Ernest Gilbert and my little sister Ashley Gilbert. We would…
