HW 32 - Thoughts following illness & dying unit
The most nightmarish thing about our culture's practices around illness & dying is how the big insurance companies care more about benefiting themselves more than they do helping the ill and saving peoples lives. What i might address differently is why all the doctors seem like they have no say on the unjust practices that are going on in our country. And maybe do some research where the doctors do go against what the big insurance companies want and do what they feel is write despite all the money the hospital might be losing. Dominant social practices around illness & dying connect to DSP around food in our culture because in both these pactices there are corrupt ways of doing things just so the boss's could save more money. Also these two are connected because the people in charge try to do the least amount of work possible while the price stays the same.

johnny i liked your writing. It's sort and it gets to the point. The line that really stands out, "What i might address differently is why all the doctors seem like they have no say on the unjust practices that are going on in our country.This made me realize that maybe our country really is corrupt and that there is some bad things going on that the govrenment doesnt want us to now about.
ReplyDeleteThis piece was very intriguing to read. This hw assignment made me think of illness and dying through a different lens. "The most nightmarish thing about our culture's practices around illness & dying is how the big insurance companies care more about benefiting themselves more than they do helping the ill and saving peoples lives. This made me think, How could this possibly be changed and come up with a few ways. This reminded me of how bad our system works and how it may not get better.
