The Public Interest

My interest in public health began very early in my life. I lost a cousin to a global epidemic and thought that if I became a foreign affairs officer, I could help reroute resources to where in the world they are needed most, like my aunt, for whom I am named. I decided to study political science and in my last semester at Rutgers, while doing a senior project on income inequality and its consequences in Brazil, I was public health found its way to the forefront as I engulfed myself in the facts about how income inequality and lack of health care infrastructure beleaguered the working class. I felt it was too late in my undergraduate career to look at the specifics of health care, so using what I had learned in my chosen cognate courses in psychology and sociology I decided that…

I am writing to inform you of my interest in the Doctor of Public Health program in Epidemiology at Georgia Southern University Jiann‑Ping Hsu College of Public Health. Aldous Huxley says “Experience is not what happens to a man: it is what a man does with what happens to him”. Being a victim of typhoid fever outbreak while I was a senior in high school in Nigeria, West Africa; the death of my favorite uncle from the co-infection of HIV/AIDS and Hepatitis C, tailored my career towards…

The area of public relations that I’m highly interested in is Media Relations. I chose media relations because I’m drawn to the idea of creating a presence for a company online. Social media is completely changing how people consume, and that affects those who work in Media relations. While some may be intimidated by that, I choose to look at it as a challenge to get bloggers, and subsequently the public, to buy into the product or service I’m trying to sell. There’s a lot of critical thinking…

Public interest groups play a key role in representative democracy and help to develop the political and social systems. They can achieve this through sharing mutual goals with democratic affairs and influencing political decisions. Public interest groups are also linked with the social work profession because they both function by working to better the lives of people, and eventually society as a whole. Politics and social work are closely related and both have a purpose in each other’s…

and then groups are formed. An interest group is a group of individuals organized to seek public policy influence, usually though not exclusively by attempting to influence government actions.…

Another form of public interest within professional sports are the mental health issues that arise. Professional athletes are subject to massive somatic, social, and mental stress. Despite great public interest for athletic achievements,the emotional stress caused by such things are rarely investigated. The main reason for this is because people generally assume that athletes are superhuman, while their physical psyche is seemed as such doesn't mean they are built in such way on the inside “A…

The political landscape in America is diverse and complicated. More often than not there are a lot of players interested and playing a part in the election of an official among other political functions. An example of such players would be interest groups and political parties. Whereas the functions and roles of the political parties are more or less understood by the general public, interest groups seem to be less understood. This paper seeks to illuminate the role of the public interest groups…

B. PUBLIC INTEREST EXCEPTION An exception to the common law duty of confidentiality permits disclosure of information where to do so is in the public interest. There have been no reported New Zealand or Australian cases in which disclosure of genetic information to at-risk relatives has been considered. While the public interest exception is notable for its flexibility, existing case law suggests that it is very unlikely the exception would be expanded in this instance. First, disclosure must…

The purpose of an interest group is to seek collective goods and to influence public policies. The system is created as a tool of public influence that actively attempts to influence the behavior of different political decision makers. In many cases, they are often called pressure groups because of their effort to apply pressure to push forward their agenda. Interest groups are both large and small, and they try to promote their membership by including special services such as health and life…

you start paying down those charges. Step 1: Consolidate and pay aggressively. The best approach to paying off debt is to become systematic and aggressive. If possible, try to consolidate your balances into one card with the lowest interest rate. Then cut out some of your indulgences -- lay off the morning coffee fix and brown bag your lunch. The $50-$200 a month you can save by making a few small sacrifices should go right into your credit card payment. If you can't…
