Nowadays, everybody wants to live a long life. That's why there a system created that called the health care system. Health care is the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease, illness, injury, and other physical and mental impairments in human beings.

According to Thien's presentation, there are 4 modlels of healthcare but healthcare can also by divided to 4 type of healthcare

Primary Care: In the Primary Care, you have to see the providers (PCP) first for checking on health problems. After checking, the provider will give you the right type of practitioner. These type of practitioner can be  medical doctors (MDs) and doctors of osteopathic medicine (DOs) and nurse practitioner (NPs)

Nursing Care: The Nursing Care provided 3 types of nurses

- The Registered Nurses: the nurse who register in these healthcare have graduated from a nursing program that passed state board examination and licensed by the state.
- The Licensed Nurses are state-licensed caregivers who have been trained to care for the sick.
- Finally, The Advanced Nurses is way more professional than the other, these nurses are divided into groups of nurses like Clinical nurse specialists (CNSs),

Drug Therapy: This healthcare system provided pharmacists that have graduate training from a college of pharmacy and licensed by the state. The provider will write the drug prescription that will be processed by the pharmacist. Moreover, pharmacists have to follow and check safe effective of the patient's medication.

Specialty Care: The provider will offer you a specific care due to various problems.

However, in some poor countries, the healthcare systems are not that good. Here are the top 10 countries that have a low life expectancy due to disease, and the healthcare system are not good enough to take care of all the people.

10. Zambia:  Life expectancy at birth in here is 55 years. One of the main issue in here that cause death is the diarrhea disease. It caused because of the drinking water is not clean. Children under 14 years old have a high death rate

9. Lesotho: Life expectancy in here is 49 and a quarter people that between 15-49 years old is living with HIV

8. Mozambique: Mozambique is about 23.9 million people and about 60% of them live under the poverty line of 1.25$ a day. Average life expectancy is defined at 50.77 years old.

7.Malawi: Life expectancy is low and is about 54.8 years. HIV/AIDS is the threat of the people living here

6. Liberia: The average life in this country is 57 years old. Malaria is a huge problem for the country, and in 2010 over 9 Million cases of the disease were reported.

5. Nigeria: The average life expectancy in the country is severely reduced by the drastic income inequality, to around 52.3 years. Nigeria suffers from a continual mass exodus of nurses, doctors and other health practitioners who leave looking for better opportunities outside of Nigeria.

4. Democratic Republic of Congo: The life expectancy in here is 48 years. It is too low for a country that have the population of 75 million of people. Sadly, there is only about 0.1 physicians for every 1000 persons making adequate health care.

3. Central African Republic: The life expectancy in this country is just 49 years. Sanitation problems and lack of clean water is the major issue here. Moreover, diarrhea disease mostly the reason that caused death to children under 5 years old

2. Myanmar: This coastal country once spent the lowest amount of their GDP on health care in the world and receives the least amount of international aid per capita. The average life expectancy in here is 50 years and a quarter of the population is under 15 years old.

1. Sierra Leone: Pregnant women in Sierra Leone have the right to free health care but the country lacks of hospitals to provide it. There are only about 0.002 physicians and 0.4 medical beds for every 1000 people. Moreover, there is about 60% of the  country people can not access to clean drinking water.Life expectancy at birth is about 54 years and 42% of the population is under 15 years old.

It's difficult to come up with a good solution to this problem. To solve it, the government have to look at the healthcare system in the own country and see what is the health problem that their people are living with to improve their healthcare system.

Science and Technology

In the modern world, science and technology are part of human life. Everyday we use stuff like televisions, phones, light, car,... All of that are all involve on science and technology and they're improving human life.

What is the meaning of Science and Technology?

Science is knowledges that human gained through observations and experiments. This knowledge can be in mathematic, physic, chemistry or biology. As the knowledge increased, human had came up with more improved methods of science. It includes the use of careful observation, experimentation, measurement, mathematics, and replication.

Technology is simply the application of knowledge to create products

Some important scientific discoveries?

                                                                         The Blade    

Clothing 

Shelter

Water Purification

Food Preservation

Science and technologies have improved through history to help human life. But as they improving, there are many problem caused by them. Some of the problem are increasing depend on technology, cyber bullied, piracy,...  and it leads to huge effects.

For me, the solution to some of the issues is self awareness. We have to know that whether we are depend too much on technology, whether we're using the internet too much. Moreover, we can be aware of things like cyber bullied by report to the family, school if there are a sign of it. Piracy if a different story, you can check on the piracy blog.

Drug Legalization

In the past, people had been testing the effect of drugs. Drugs were first made for using in surgery, warfare test and even for curing morphine addicted. Later, people found out their effects are harmful for the user's health so due to some organizations like the UN's agreement, drugs are now illegal. However, now there are some countries and states that legalize or deciding to legalize some of the drugs like in Canada,  Colorado...

Some of the drug bad effects are: 

- Addiction: People are addicted to drugs will need them to feel "normal" and they will do anything to get these drugs even commit murder.

- Difficult in speaking or memorize

- Damage in brain, lung, and facing the chance of getting AIDS

Should we legalize drugs?

Some people believe that legalize drug will reduce crime. They believe that because of drugs are illegal, they become so valuable.  Criminals and gangs are now fighting and killing for these drugs.   They believe that after the drug dealer is arrested, neither the supply nor the demand  for drugs is seriously changed. The arrest merely creates a job opening for an endless stream of drug entrepreneurs who will take huge risks for the sake of the enormous profits created by prohibition.

Some other people are disagree with this idea. For them, legalize drug won't work. Drugs are illegal because they are damage the brain, damage impact on the body, adverse impact on behavior, and potential for abuse. Their use threatens the health, welfare, and safety of all people, of users and nonusers. Legalize drug will  increase dramatically if drugs were made legal and easy to obtain. Furthermore, drug legalization will lead to terrorism and economy problems.

In my opinion, we should legalize drugs that their effect given are not damaging too much on brain and body and non addictive like marijuana as personal use or as medical use. This will both reduce crime and not affect to other people safety.
