Disasters and Vulnerable Populations ISBN-13: 9780826198457

more details

In recent decades, the influence of natural disasters such as hurricanes, earthquakes, heat waves, droughts, floods and epidemics, on Global Health Security have become more prominent. In addition, disaster events stemming from civil unrest or natural disasters create humanitarian and refugee crisis thereby contributing to local, regional and global health security challenge.

These disaster events also highlight the social, physical, psychological and economic vulnerabilities among population groups. Vulnerable populations, including pregnant women, families with children, older adults, disabled and low-income individuals suffer disproportionate harm in disasters.

Vulnerable populations are less likely to undertake self-protective actions before, during or after disasters. They are also at greater risk for poor physical and psychological health outcomes after a disaster.

This chapter focuses on the impact of disasters on the following vulnerable population groups: pregnant women and families with children, and older adults.

It highlights the complex and unique needs of women, children, and older adults which can lead to catastrophic consequences during and after a disaster.

Case studies are included to demonstrate the vulnerabilities and ensuing consequences for women and children and older adults during or after disasters.

For this assignment, I would like for you to choose a Canadian cultural text

For this assignment, I would like for you to choose a Canadian cultural text. (a video,a book,a song, a painting, a photograph, a piece of literature, etc.) .and write a 5-page paper (1250-1500 words).

On it in relation to one course reading. (course reading choices provided in the attached file) and one academic article you’ve found on your own.

I would like you to demonstrate how the readings you’ve chosen help you to interpret the text.Then,ow your cultural product confirms or subverts the theoretical information the articles provide.

Essentially, this assignment has two elements: you will need to demonstrate a) a good grasp of the main ideas of the readings you’ve chosen and b) a clear understanding of how these ideas can be applied to a given text. Your analysis should fit in with course themes.

Note: Since you might choose texts that are not necessarily well-known.

it would be a good idea to provide in your paper a detailed (approximately 3/4 of a page).

Description of the one you’re writing on

Remember to use a 12-point font, to double space, to provide a cover page at the beginning, and to provide a list of references at the end with full bibliographical information on your sources (in addition to the five pages of the paper itself).

I’m flexible on citation style, but be consistent within the style you choose – and most important, cite where you need to cite!

Students usually use an in-text style, with last name, publication year, and page number, like so: (Gigliotti, 2017, p. 34) or (Gigliotti 2017: 34) or something similar. Include a separate page at the end with your list of references.

They should be in alphabetical order by author’s last name (even if you only have a few sources – good to develop good habits).

List the video itself (with a link) among your sources.

Some groups will have more than one therapist; if this is the case, most often, there are two therapists addressing the group at the same time and very  rarely more than that. Group sizes can vary depending on the type of group therapy being employed.

More details

What is a belief?

A belief is an idea that a person holds as being true.

A person can base a belief upon certainties (e.g. mathematical principles), probabilities or matters of faith.

A potential belief sits with the person until they accept it as truth, and adopt it as part of their individual belief system.

Each person evaluates and seeks sound reasons or evidence for these potential beliefs in their own way.

Once a person accepts a belief as a truth they are willing to defend, it can be said to form part of their belief system.

What is a personal value?

Values are stable long-lasting beliefs about what is important to a person. They become standards by which people order their lives and make their choices.

A belief will develop into a value when the person’s commitment to it grows and they see it as being important.

It is possible to categorize beliefs into different types of values – examples include values that relate to happiness, wealth, career success or family.

What is an attitude?

Attitudes are the mental dispositions people have towards others and the current circumstances before making decisions that result in behavior. People primarily form their attitudes from underlying values and beliefs.

More details

Institute of Medicine

Patient-centred care is about treating a person receiving healthcare with dignity and respect and involving them in all decisions about their health.It includes listening to, informing and involving patients in their care.Also, the IOM (Institute of Medicine) defines patient-centered care as:

“Providing care that is respectful of, and responsive to, individual patient preferences, needs and values, and ensuring that patient values guide all clinical decisions.”

Helping patients to be more active in consultations changes centuries of physician-dominated dialogues to those that engage patients as active participants.

Training physicians to be more mindful, informative, and empathic transforms their role from one characterized by authority to one that has the goals of partnership, solidarity, empathy, and collaboration.

Systems changes

Systems changes that unburden primary care physicians from the drudgery of productivity-driven assembly-line.Medicine can diminish the cognitive overload and exhaustion that makes medical care anything but caring or patient-centered.

Describe the difference between the US Customs and B.P.A

More details

To illustrate the distinction: Border Patrol agents are the ones who have been caught dumping out water left for migrants in the Arizona desert, and ICE agents are the ones conducting workplace raids around the country to arrest undocumented immigrants.

Adults are then referres to the Department of Justice, where they may face criminal prosecution for illegal entry. Under the administration’s family separation policy that ostensibly ended on June 20.

By the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.But because the refugee office is so swamping.Hundreds of children have remained in CBP custody.

Its broad array of functions includes arresting people to put them into immigration proceedings, managing immigrant detention, and deporting people

Adults, after court hearings, are transferring to ICE custody, where they may be held in ICE detention facilities.

Given the complicating situation at the border, it’s unclear whether abolishing ICE would solve the family separation.

Crisis since ICE’s work is so intertwining with that of CBP and other federal agencies.

ICE and CBP are both cogs in a larger immigration enforcement system, so targeting only one organization for abolition may not achieve the movement’s goals.
