Week 10: War

1)According to Levy & Sidel, preventing war or causing a halt to war that is taking place

•             should be left to politicians and is no business of public health

•             is an example of primary prevention in public health

•             is almost impossible and rarely effective

•             is an example of tertiary prevention in public health

•             never happened in the 20th century

2.            Diverting money from human and health services into military purposes and war preparations

•             is only a problem in poor, less developed countries because rich countries, like the United State, have lots of money for everything that people need for health and well-being

•             isn't as much of a problem in the 21st century because unmanned drones are taking over from human soldiers in warfare

•             is an example of an indirect impact on health of war and preparation

for war

•             provides concrete evidence of our priorities as a society

•             only (c) and (d)

3.            As Levy & Sidel explain, the US "war on terror" has

•             made the world safer and more peaceful

•             eliminated terror acts in the US

•             diverted attention and resources from existing public health problems

•             endangered civil liberties, violated human rights, and threatened peace

•             only (a) and (b)

•             only (c) and (d)

4.            As reporter Janine dji Giovanni describes in "What I saw in the War"

•             anyone who pays attention to the news is well-prepared in advance before war begins in their home city

•             by the late 20th century, war was confined to the world's poorest

nations

•             war is always good because it teaches us about compassion, generosity, love, and how ordinary people can be heroes

•             the journalist's role is to be a witness for those affected and killed by

war, to shine a light on the darkest corners of the world

•             all of the above

•             only (c) and (d)

5.            Jody Williams' idea of peace

•             will be achieved when people are singing songs together, like Kumbaya, or Coca Cola's jingle "I'd like to teach the world to sing"

•             must be built on personal security

•             is the absence of war

•             rests in real justice, equality, and people's adequate access to the resources they need for dignified lives

•             is impossible for the world to achieve
