Hw - 26 Looking Back and Foward in Unit

1. "When you get sick enough; Dignity goes through the window." -Beth Bernett
2. Families get closer when another family member gets ill.
3. "Once you learn how to die, you learn how to live."-Tuesdays with Morrie
4. "Death ends a life, not a relationship."
5. "If your a rational human being, you should know how to provide care for the sick and dying; only irrational people would not know what to do."

All of these sources have been the most helpful in coming to understand our cultures dominant social practices because each source provided a different experience for me. In the beginning I knew little to nothing about our health care system and how people reacted to ill and dying, I only knew what I knew. Learning from these variety of people and sources, I have gained a better insight and more experience in this kind of topic and that the social practices people share, are either similar or completely different but they all result in caring for another.

For the last two weeks we have in this unit I would like to know about other countries health care systems, which ones are better or worse then America's health care system and why. I would like to know this because our Country puts on this front there we're so powerful but on a list of which country has better health care, America fall's way below where you think it would be. I'd also like to know about the countries who get it right and what type of method they use to have the best health care system and what type of method the country with the worst health care system does.
