Healthcare Education

Many people in third world countries struggle to provide food and shelter to their families. Proper health care and health education is an important issue of many parts of the third world. Quality health care is difficult to find and or receive in many parts of the third world due to a variety of issues affecting the area. Small per capita gross national profit, high debt, and a lack of resources prevent the third world from providing sufficient health care to its population. All of these factors greatly reduce the physical quality of life that third world residents have. Health care is a major problem in the third world that needs to be addressed immediately. The HIV and Aids epidemic is an especially big problem that needs to be focused on in the third world. Many parts of Africa, Asia, South America, and the Middle East are being ravished by Aids and Aids related health problems. Health care and health education need to become a major priority in order to preserve the lives of people in these areas. With proper health care, and education the spread of Aids and other diseases would drop, and increase the live chances of everyone. Providing proper health education would more than likely decrease the mortality rate of young children.

Third-world Country Healthcare

Nearly 10 million children die each year from the lack of basic healthcare services. In third-world countries, many children die before the age of five. Most all of these deaths are due to diarrhea, pneumonia, and malaria. All of which could be cured and or prevented with access to healthcare services. Next to these illnesses, the next factor for children dying is malnutrition. Poverty levels and lack of food is an everyday concern for people that live in these countries.  With twenty-four hour access to hospitals and doctors in countries such as America, these children have every opportunity given to them and the ability to get their illnesses taken care of in a timely manner. Unfortunately, in third world countries, these children die because there is simply no access to health care most of the time or they simply could not get to a facility in time due to the few number of facilities. I find it very disturbing for these parents to have to know that more than likely one of their children will die before the age of five, due to circumstances that they can't control, yet ones that are more often than not preventable. Simple things, such as rehydration therapy, could prevent a child who has diarrhea from dying. So many people in America take healthcare needs for granted. Imagine being one of these parents who have to watch your child die a slow, antagonizing death due to something that could have easily been prevented.

Economy in India

India is one of the poorest countries in the world due to its very large and rapidly growing population. During the past few years, the government has made several improvements on the economy, however, there is still a long road ahead. India's economy has improved in a very unusual way, it relies very little on exporting manufacturing products. This tactic has proved to be a steady way to improve the economy. Although India is a very poor country, it has a very good education system. Unfortunately, education is not evenly spread throughout the country. A very small group of individuals actually receives a good education while most receive little to no education at all. This results in a relatively high unemployment rate despite the somewhat growing economy. Therefore, India is very dependent on imports from other countries which in turn decreases its employment rate even further. Gender equality is also a major problem in India's economy. Women who are able to enter the business world usually find themselves in chauvinistic and threatening work environments. It has a lot to do with familial pressure and cultural pressure. Once a woman gives birth, they’re expected to be home taking care of the family, and in many cases they’re taking care of their in-laws as well. There are family expectations, and marriage expectations. Personally, I think that if India improved its policies for education and allowed women to enter the business world without being scared of male backlash, the economy would rise at an alarming rate.
