HOW LONG BEFORE THE ENTIRE WORLD IS VACCINATED AGAINST COVID-19? ( https://www.newsweek.com/coronavirus-vaccine-covid-19-who-gavi-putin-trump-boris-johnson-health-economy-1524958 ) We still have a long road until the vaccine for covid-19 is complete and ready for the public. Countries need to work together in order to get there with over 750,000 people dead and the poor state of the global economy.GAVI, the vaccine alliance, who has been primarily focused on finding a vaccine for AIDs, has opened a facility where they will try to make the vaccine accessible for all countries, especially poorer ones. Their goal is to deliver at least two billion doses by the end of 2021. They hope to pool together the resources of wealthier countries to help the vaccine reach poorer countries so that it is available for everyone. Since the vaccine can’t ultimately reach everyone, they want to focus primarily on health care workers and people at risk. They aim to vaccinate 20% of the population sin...
Using the Galtung conflict model, I want to analyze the January 6th Insurrection of the Capital. The Galtung model is shaped as a triangle and has three vertices - Behavior (what you saw), Attitudes (Why it happened) and Context (How it happened). I want to first talk about the Attitudes and basically why I think it happened. Over the past many years, probably more than I have lived, there has been an increasing level of distrust of our federal government. Because of this, Donald Trump used this distrust as a platform to get elected in 2016. In fact, during the 2016 election, Trump used sayings like “drain the swamp,” “crooked Hillary,” and MAGA “Make America Great Again” to further remind voters of the distrust of government and its officials. In addition, the racial mix of the US population is changing. The white population is declining while minorities are increasing. Additionally, the use of social media has increased where misinformation a...
A modern example of the Galtung's Triangle I wanted to explore was the ACT UP organization. In case you are unfamiliar with ACT UP, it stands for AIDS C oalition to Unleash Power. They are an activist group on a mission to stop the AIDS pandemic. Within this organization, they would host protests, fundraisers, teach proper sex education, and even learn more about HIV/AIDS treatment to teach patients about their medications. This organization was formed because they felt that this issue was not getting proper attention. When choosing between Latent and Manifest analysis level, I struggled with this because the AIDS/HIV pandemic could be considered both. Manifest, because of the lack of funding, representation, and research, caused thousands of deaths. If people in higher potions (politicians, authors, so forth) gave this issue the proper attention, millions of people wouldn't have died and suffered for the years the US knew about it. However, thi...
