What was once among the most fertile land I Africa can now only support a few struggling plants suitable only for grazing cattle.What would be the proper moral response of rich nations to this impeding tragedy?
Singer or Arthur
CBC News- The Church service aid agency is warning that Immediate massive intervention and assistance are needed to prevent mass starvation in Kenya. A team from the humanitarian agency reported recently that many fields are barren and cracked, dried out by the drought that is threatening a third of the east African countrys population, or about 10 million people.
What was once among the most fertile land I Africa can now only support a few struggling plants suitable only for grazing cattle. We dont have any food. Farmer Lizy Bimba, a Kwale resident, said in Swahili. In one area, a local official reported that 85% of 5,600 people are facing starvation, the church world service team said. Other farmers have left the land to find what work they can. We have been forced to do this so that we get money to buy food. Musa Charo said in Swahili as he broke rocks to earn money to feed his 10 children. The government declared the food shortage a national disaster on Jan. 16, the UN is appealing for international help and aid agencies warn that the problem will only get worse.
A/ Do you favor peter Singers path in which affluent individuals would be obligated to give much of their wealth to feef the hungry? Or Arthurs way, in which the rich would have a duty to give some aid but would also have obligations to themselves and to their family and friends? Explain
How did the role of nurses during World War II and their contributions have a lasting impact on healthcare and nursing practices.
Respond to the discussion :How did the role of nurses during World War II and their contributions have a lasting impact on healthcare and nursing practices. It was a time of unprecedented demand for medical care, and nurses played a crucial part in providing it.One notable aspect was the emergence of military nursing units such as the U.S. Cadet Nurse Corps and the British Voluntary Aid Detachments (VADs). These units provided essential healthcare services on the front lines and in military hospitals. Nurses were not only responsible for treating physical injuries but also for addressing the emotional and psychological needs of soldiers, many of whom were dealing with the trauma of war.The experiences during World War II brought about advancements in nursing education and training. Nurses had to adapt to new technologies and procedures, gaining valuable skills that would later benefit civilian healthcare. The war also prompted greater recognition of the importance of nursing as a profession, leading to increased opportunities for women in healthcare beyond the war years.Moreover, the war marked a significant shift in healthcare infrastructure. The demand for medical facilities and personnel led to the establishment of more hospitals, clinics, and rehabilitation centers. This expansion of healthcare services had a lasting impact on post-war healthcare systems, contributing to improved access to medical care.Overall, the history of World War II is a testament to the dedication and resilience of nurses who served during the conflict. Their experiences and contributions continue to influence nursing practices and the healthcare field today. It’s a remarkable chapter in the history of nursing and a reminder of the profession’s vital role in times of crisis.
