Week 11:
During this week we watched a documentary "Unnatural Causes." It was about how socioeconomic status may be one of the largest determinants of health. This documentary showed the big differences of socioeconomic statuses between the rich and the poor. It was very good to see how those with a higher economic status was healthier and those with a low economic status were not as healthy. We also did a post on our advocacy project that involved us picking a environmental related objective from Healthy People 2010 and research the progress that it has made.
Week 12:
During this week we did Reading 20 which talked about how the ozone layer will "fix itself" in the next three years. I really don't know how useful this information really is because it was published in 2002 and the people that published it is a christian group as well. We all got to see Dr.V favorite thing in the world to do (junking) which is where you just take things and remake it for another use! It was really good to see some ideas and in this economy.

ReplyDeleteHmm....I liked this post but I have a question:
"It was very good to see how those with a higher economic status was healthier and those with a low economic status were not as healthy."
How as that very good to see? I found it depressing and somewhat alarming....
