In society there are many social problems we have at hand that can shape our beliefs and outlooks in life. Simple events affect us will have the biggest impact on our actions. Major social problems such as racism, discrimination, standard of living and even the way the media shapes are behaviors are some of the things we may come encounter with on our daily lives. The symbolic interactionism idea is made up of the three processes which are meaning is derived from social interaction, value of the interaction process and also the idea we all interpret things in our own way. The media is everywhere we look and almost everyone is able to access it without a problem. The media put stories and news reports out all the time claiming something could be a big problem, but in reality it should not be something we should be worried about at all. The Ebola virus is a perfect example of how the media can make us construct our own reality of things and believe what they put out. Ebola derived from Africa in Zaire, where it got its name from the Ebola River. Ebola was supposedly spread across the Atlantic Ocean by a doctor who was infected by the virus. The man was isolated in a hospital and the virus subsided throughout America never causing a real serious outbreak. The media made everything seem so different and by them doing this we all created our own reality of what was going on. The interpretive process which is part of the symbolic interactionism suggest we all have our own…

The Ebola Virus Disease is an extremely brutal, and fast working virus that is most commonly found in Sub Saharan Africa.(WHO, 2016) Humans mainly contract ebola through infected fluids (such as blood, urine, and fecal matter) that come in contact with ruptured skin, or mucous membranes. Ebola has the ability to stay alive on most material that it comes in contact with, and can be contracted very easily if someone inadvertently…

Global incidence and prevalance of Ebola: Ebola was first identified in 1976 in two concurrent outbreaks, Nzara, Sudan and Yambuku, Democratic Republic of the Congo (formally Zaire), comprising 151 and 280 cases, respectively. The higher case fatality rate was associated with Yambuku, 88%. Since that time other large-scale outbreaks have occurred: 1995, Democratic Republic of the Congo(315 cases, mortality 81%); 2000-2001, Uganda (425 cases, mortality 53%); 2003, Democratic Republic of the…

and is now buried in a traditional Zande funeral. The doctors are still unaware of how Yu G. became infection. A few days after his death two of his co-workers also started to experience the same symptoms. P.G one of the men has a large group of friends and without knowing exposed many of the people in the town. Not after very long the illness traveled to Maridi’s hospital. When it got there it spread through staff and patients very abruptly. How the outbreak ended was the surviving medial staff…

The Ebola infection causes an intense, genuine ailment which is regularly lethal if untreated. Ebola infection sickness (EVD) initially showed up in 1976 in 2 synchronous flare-ups, one in Nzara, Sudan, and the other in Yambuku, Democratic Republic of Congo. The last happened in a town close to the Ebola River, from which the illness takes its name. The current flare-up in west Africa is the biggest and most complex Ebola episode since the Ebola infection was initially found in 1976. There have…

until the immune system is able to take over. Tests in 4 rhesus monkeys showed that 7 daily injections cured 100% of the virus. 5. The main approach was a gene silencing approach that can save monkeys from high doses of the Ebola strain. SiRNAs are implemented which are stretches of genetic material that can block the action of a specific strain which particularly attaches to three different areas on the virus and prevent it from replicating. Ebola is a highly contagious virus that attacks the…

The Ebola Virus has affected many people across the across the world, specifically West Africa. In 2014, West Africa had a major outbreak, resulting in thousands of people dying. There are many health impacts on this disease, and many people have been trying to destroy this terrible disease, as well as ways to prevent it. In 1976, there were three outbakes of the Ebola Virus, one in Nzara, one in South Sudan and one in Yambuku. The Ebola virus got its name from the first outbreak occurring…

According to the World Health Organization, Ebola first appeared in 1976 in two simultaneous outbreaks, in Nzara, Sudan, and in Yambuku, Democratic Republic of Congo. The latter was in a village situated near the Ebola River, from which the disease takes its name. Ebola virus disease (EVD) is a severe, often fatal illness in humans, and disease outbreaks have a fatality rate of up to 90 per cent (Leroy, 2004). The infectious disease is transmitted to people as a result of direct contact with…

positive (Hayman et al., 2012). The existence of 9 bats in Ghana with ZEBOV antibodies suggest that these animals may have migrated from central Africa, since this species is mainly found in the region. Evidently, prior to any outbreak, the virus may have being in the reservoirs or intermediate host for unascertained period of time, for conditions for spillover (hunting) to presented itself. Several outbreaks of EVD are associated with hunting and physical contact with zoonotic non-human…
