Communities in Action
Author: National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309452961
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 583
Book Description
In the United States, some populations suffer from far greater disparities in health than others. Those disparities are caused not only by fundamental differences in health status across segments of the population, but also because of inequities in factors that impact health status, so-called determinants of health. Only part of an individual's health status depends on his or her behavior and choice; community-wide problems like poverty, unemployment, poor education, inadequate housing, poor public transportation, interpersonal violence, and decaying neighborhoods also contribute to health inequities, as well as the historic and ongoing interplay of structures, policies, and norms that shape lives. When these factors are not optimal in a community, it does not mean they are intractable: such inequities can be mitigated by social policies that can shape health in powerful ways. Communities in Action: Pathways to Health Equity seeks to delineate the causes of and the solutions to health inequities in the United States. This report focuses on what communities can do to promote health equity, what actions are needed by the many and varied stakeholders that are part of communities or support them, as well as the root causes and structural barriers that need to be overcome.

The Need for Roots
Author: Simone Weil
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000082792
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 314
Book Description
Hailed by Andre Gide as the patron saint of all outsiders, Simone Weil's short life was ample testimony to her beliefs. In 1942 she fled France along with her family, going firstly to America. She then moved back to London in order to work with de Gaulle. Published posthumously The Need for Roots was a direct result of this collaboration. Its purpose was to help rebuild France after the war. In this, her most famous book, Weil reflects on the importance of religious and political social structures in the life of the individual. She wrote that one of the basic obligations we have as human beings is to not let another suffer from hunger. Equally as important, however, is our duty towards our community: we may have declared various human rights, but we have overlooked the obligations and this has left us self-righteous and rootless. She could easily have been issuing a direct warning to us today, the citizens of Century 21.

Finding Your Roots, Season 2
Author: Henry Louis Gates Jr.
Publisher: UNC Press Books
ISBN: 1469626195
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 438
Book Description
Who are we, and where do we come from? The fundamental drive to answer these questions is at the heart of Finding Your Roots, the companion book to the hit PBS documentary series. As scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr. clearly demonstrates, the tools of cutting-edge genomics and deep genealogical research now allow us to learn more about our roots and look further back in time than ever before. In the second season, Gates's investigation takes on the personal and genealogical histories of more than twenty luminaries, including Ken Burns, Stephen King, Derek Jeter, Governor Deval Patrick, Valerie Jarrett, and Sally Field. As Gates interlaces these moving stories of immigration, assimilation, strife, and success, he provides practical information for amateur genealogists just beginning archival research on their own families' roots and details the advances in genetic research now available to the public. The result is an illuminating exploration of who we are, how we lost track of our roots, and how we can find them again.

The Human Tree
Author: Benjamin S Minch

ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 232
Book Description
If the human race were a tree, all of human history would be a giant gardening experiment gone wrong. In this book, we explore this experiment in gardening as we look into 2000 years of human history. The human tree is constantly replanted into new soils, new cultures, new ways of thinking about the world and itself. Each of these new soils brings about good fruit at first. Scientific advances, economic prosperity, and increased civil and human rights are among these good fruits. Each soil, however, is not perfect. Religion bred the Crusades, secularism bred the French Revolution, technology bred the World Wars, and the list could go on and on. What then is causing all of the pain and bad fruits of the human tree? Is it a soil problem? Should the human tree keep trying out different worldviews and thought patterns until we find the one that ends suffering and evil? I believe there is a better way. A better way to help bring reconciliation to a broken world. A better way to really rid the injustices that plague our society. A better way to understand the cause of all of the evil systems in the world such as sex trafficking, slavery, and dictatorships. This way builds on the foundational ideas of Jesus, Paul, Augustine, and Solzhenitsyn concerning humanity and is the key to treating the bad fruits of the human tree. What is wrong with the world, you ask? To answer that, we must travel to the very roots of the human tree.
