A Moral Question
What would you do if you didn’t have health insurance? Do you know how the health system of the United States works in our society? American values are being applied in our right to receive health insurance? Often we are being affected by limited resource and the importance of various values. There are two American values self-help and future orientation/ optimism.
Nikki White contracted Systemic Lupus is a serious disease that was affecting the possibilities to continue a normal life. Why didn’t Nikki White ever find a way to get a medical help if she had knowledge about her disease? As a result, she died the thirty-two years this is inconsistent because she belonged to the middle class at the moment, the American health law did not let her get insurance. However, the most important priority should be health and not the social class to which she belonged.
Ms. White’s death could be explained by two American values. Self- Help means that the uses of one’s own efforts and resources to achieve things without relying on others in different aspects or situation. In a positive way, you can have the chance to get some help from other people willing to help in bad circumstances when you have the knowledge about any disease that is attacking your body, your health and you integrity. However, in this case, the negative way of this value is when you often depend on the same person and may lose control of your own personal life. Another American value is Future orientation and optimism. This means that you have the opportunity to believe in yourself or just not believe in your own personal skill, optimism. At this time you only had the control to make future orientation in your life in good or bad way. Again, this value has two sides. The positive way is that you can work so hard to change your bad experiences for better and comfortable solutions no matter if you have any condition or disease. This is connected to Nikki White because she had the opportunity to help herself with good knowledge about her condition. In addition, you can believe in different solution or just stay in the same problem. The negative way is that you never give you the opportunity to make or develop a belief in themselves.
In my own experience in this country, I saw many problems in the health system because many times people are not treated in the same way because they belong to the different social class or for not having insurance or too much money, to be a person of few resources. Several times people are affected because we are discriminated against by the health system and many of the values are violated. My point about these topics is no matter how our problems are difficult, we always have to find a solution. Someday and anywhere you inevitably find yourself, and that only can be the happiest or bitterest hour of your life
As we have seen, as a society we are affected by not having health insurance or government assistance to provide us with the same privileges for health care in the U.S .

Online Learning
Historically studying was difficult. People could only learn through radio, and schools without resources. In our present, people have the new modalities of learning: Face-to-face, online and hybrid.
The most common modality to learn is Face-to-face. This means that we have the opportunity to learn in person to develop our knowledge in a more educational way. For example, in my classmate we had a group activity in class where we needed to share our own ideas about “The different learning modalities offered on campus”. Sharing ideas face-to-face gives us the opportunity to feel more confident and prepared to develop our understanding in a more progressive level. Moreover, one advantage about learning face-to-face is we have the privilege to get educational information and improve new techniques to practice our pronunciation about new topics in class. We can ask more questions and given important points of view. However, one disadvantage to learn face-to-face is sometimes we do not pay attention when the class topic does not contain an interesting subject which does not capture our attention or interest. Even so, the importance of face-to-face learning has become a more professional option of developing our knowledge in a more productive way but at the same time is considered a daily routine.
Secondly, the other common modality to learn is online, this means learn more quickly from anywhere by using web pages, educational pages. We have the chance to spend more time working on assignments online in home, college and library. For instance, I completed online assignment called “Human guinea pigs: Involuntary Medical Experiment A Global Perspective.’’ Furthermore, one advantage to learn online is we have more variety of internet programs to develop our understanding with online activities, and vocabulary websites. In contrast, one disadvantage to learn online is we have no interaction with others and you work by yourself. Students spend at least 10 hours per week on each online assignment, test, and lectures but that is not the problem. The real problem is the time management to understand clearly the subject and if you don’t have a person who can give you clear guidance, ideas, and observations, the most likely problem is that you continue to be confused and never understand. Despite this, many students prefer taking class online because they have more time free than when they spend a lot hours in class with others students.
The last common modality to learn is hybrid. This means it’s a way to studying in combination of Face-to-face and Online classes. According with my experience hybrid class, I like to practice while the two modalities of learning of my time of study. In particular, one advantage to learn hybrid is the students can understand better. At the moment if the students ask the question and she or he didn’t understand the instructor in class, she or he has the opportunity to find help though the Internet. This is the method where the students can improve their ability to learn. However, one disadvantage to learn hybrid is many students get confused by the subject or activity in class. Nevertheless, student have the privilege of learning in different ways strengthen their knowledge in future life.
In conclusion, the learning are changing though time and now we can choose between Face-to-face, Online and Hybrid. No matter what kind modality learning you could prefer to develop your understanding, they are designed to provide a successful future career or major.

Volunteerism
When you are volunteer, you are not paid in money, you are paid with love. Maybe people may forget what you did, but they will never forget how it made them feel. There are many volunteer opportunities where you can develop your intellectual abilities and benefit our community.
One important reason why people volunteer is that people can make a difference by donating their own time to help others with different corporation where you can develop your intellectual abilities. For example, one organization which is dedicated to develop our skills is called “AHRC New York City Volunteer Opportunities in QCC Volunteer Fair’’. The volunteer can help by contributing different ways to help with recreational activities, yoga, drama, fitness, art, cooking, and special areas of interest that you might want to share with others. However, the volunteers will need to spend two hours helping people before they become part of the workshop associated with the group of volunteer. The connection with my controlling idea is you have the opportunity to decide help and donate your time to get a productive personal development.
Secondly people because it allows people to express themselves creatively to help them to realize new beneficial quality and develop a greater sense of integrity and emotion. For instance, most volunteers interested in helping people to strengthen the community with important opportunities to share new experiences, providing new changes in society and feel blessed to support other people change their lives. Moreover, volunteers must enjoy and feel love when they help another person without receiving any money.
Personally, I would like to volunteer at this time because it’s important for me to help the animals and people in difficult circumstances. I am devoted to serving people who need a little help, but I’m more interested in helping animals because a few months ago I was part of a corporation seeking people interested in taking care of animals, where volunteering should be developed the following tasks, provide protection, love, care and attention. This corporation is recognized as a hospital called “Humane Society of New York” providing the opportunity to donate own time to care for abandoned animals without owner, without love and without a house to receive respect.
My classmate Olga Suarez belongs to a group of volunteers in “Mira USA” almost five years ago. She works in recreation activities, offers help and gives us information about her organization, she is a person who likes to help others with her knowledge about immigration to find a good solution. She prepare conference to provide food, time, dedication and love. This corporation has an important role in our society to give us the opportunity to learn about our immigration status.
In conclusion, the benefit why people volunteer is that we have the opportunity to provide significant changes in the society with our dedication in different ways where we can get the volunteer experience to continue help others.

Miss Evers' Boys
What would you think if you heard the U.S Government has supported secret medical experiments for over 40 years? This is exactly happened in Tuskegee, Alabama unfortunately, this is not an isolation case.
In the film Miss Evers’ Boys illustrates the Tuskegee study which was conducted by a group of doctors. It is the story of a group of African American men, who are being unknowingly studied to see if untreated syphilis reacts the same way in African American that it does in white men. At first, treatment is given to them but once the resources for the study are cut, treatments no longer made available. In fact, I remember in the film that the study goes on without them knowing they have stopped receiving medicine; the affected men are simply observed. There are also part of the given spinal taps that the men will think they are part of the treatment. The end result is that unthreaded syphilis affected both African Americans and whites alike.
One important comparison outside of the film is about The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot. These Hela Cells had an amazing property not seen before; they could be grown continuously in laboratory conditions. The Hela Cells were immortal; researchers would now have a handy stock of cells available for their experiments. In addition, labs all over the world could have access to cells of a common origin for the experiments. However, these researchers took Hela cells without the consent of Ms. Lacks. Furthermore, African Americans and prisoners were used as part of investigations to inject Hela cancer cells in their bodies without giving them the knowledge of the risks of these procedures. This has the relationship with the film Miss Evers’ boys because People were used as material for experiments in labs. As a result, the researchers carefully watching the process as the experiments affect the body gradually people manifesting symptoms like pain and agony.
An interesting insight of the film, as I can challenge my knowledge is the impact of know how black people, poor people and prisoners are used for experiments in laboratories for studying diseases. The researchers used deceit and easy way to develop these experiments on their bodies, without providing knowledge of the risks, problems and difficulties of each procediment. Therefore, the views can challenge her/ his own knowledge based on the acts of cruelty. Where people were used for experiments without compassion or ethics to achieve result in laboratories without complications. In the meantime, these events where we are as human beings often treated as a fundamental part of experiments, regardless of the pain, suffering and agony of enduring all these research processes. Doctor are only interested in personal gain, often the U.S. Government supported secret medical experiments with patients outside the ethical criterion of medicine with people seeking only to benefit themselves.
In conclusion, throughout history some medical atrocities are illustrated in experiments with people not received a good treatment. My opinion about the film is in medicine still uses people as laboratory equipment to conduct medical research. Sometimes trying to find out how many deaths occur in the world for medical errors or deficiencies in health care is mission impossible.
