Response to Post #1
The issue your raise in terms of the long-term negative consequences on the lives and well-being of caregivers is an extremely important one. As you mention, there are various sources of significant emotional strain associated with the responsibilities of providing life-sustaining healthcare to others. Likewise, you mentioned the fact that patient and elderly abuse are problems that becoming increasingly apparent, particularly in the long-term care facility and in home healthcare scenarios. Obviously, this is a problem that demands immediate attention to identify the specific causes and ways of identifying and preventing its occurrence.
The social issue you raise might be one of the most important problems facing contemporary Americans. Specifically, healthcare is becoming increasingly expensive and correspondingly unavailable to many people based solely on their financial circumstances. Moreover, at the current rate of increase analysts predict that healthcare costs could reach forty percent of the entire national GDP within this decade. I would agree with your characterization of Americans being "split" on the issue of healthcare reform. On the other hand, I would suggest that it not a split over different views. Rather, those on the Democratic side of the issue are motivated by genuine fiscal and quality-of-life concerns. Unfortunately, those on the Republican side of this issue seem to be motivated exclusively by its political value in undermining the Obama administration.

Frankly, I am very surprised and disappointed to hear your views about the quality and methodologies that you describe in connection with the treatment provided by non-profit mental health agencies. Naturally, I would hope that this is more of an isolated agency-specific problem rather than a more general problem that compromises the care received by large patient populations. I would be very curious to hear some of the details about how widely you have observed this problem and to know whether you believe that there are any such agencies that furnish...
Sociology Discussion Responses Response to Post #1 Your post illustrates the extent to which effective leadership is an essential component of most change-based initiatives. Regardless of the nature of the changes at issue, achieving meaningful objectives in relation to necessary or desired changes is largely dependent on the effectiveness and commitment of leaders. I would also agree, generally, that leadership as not as dependent on or as much a function of personal
Sociology Discussion Responses Response to Post #1 I agree with you completely about the moral travesty of the continuing social and political inequality in many African nations as well as the continuing detrimental effects, even today, of European colonialism on the African continent. Likewise, it is inexcusable that racial inequality still persists today. However, the inability of many African societies to overcome the challenges that still bar significant social reform and progress
Sociology Discussion Responses Response to Post #1 While I agree completely with your sentiments and your long-range goals and the values they represent, I am not so sure that providing the resources you mentioned is as realistic a solution as it may have been in prior years. In my opinion, there is actually a fundamental barrier to the goal of increasing the availability of social programs in the current political climate. Specifically,
Sociology Discussion Responses Response to Post #1 I would agree completely with you that personal awareness is a crucial factor in relation to the ability of therapists and counselors to provide high-quality professional services. It is obvious that all of us are substantially the products of our external environments and experiences in life. As a result, by the time we enter the professional field, we unavoidably bring with us a personal perspective
Sociology Discussion Responses Response to Post # Your post raises some very important issues that face the entire nation as well as the individual states such as New Mexico. The largest social services programs such as Medicare and Medicaid are unsustainable for the long-term, largely because of the dramatic demographic changes in American society since their development. Today, the average longevity is almost double what it was in the early 20th century
Sociology Discussion Responses Response to Post # I agree completely with your post. All of us have a natural tendency toward loss of objective perspective and we tend to view the world through the prism of our own lives and in a manner framed by our personal experiences and standards of living.
