Meanwhile, hello, and:
"We are dazzled by a steady stream of information about our physical, mental and social health. Advances in medical science and social research are creating new frontiers at a dizzying pace, worlds apart from anything our ancestors might have imagined. We now recognize connections between human well-being and all kinds of things: music, humor, social support...the list grows. Study health in depth, you gain insight into worlds so tiny and so vast, that if you are not in awe, you're just not paying attention! If your choice is to stick to the basics in your health education, you can nevertheless benefit from knowledge and skills gained from that broad perspective. "Responsibility , cultural awareness from a health ed. perspective": Via Internet, Ms Pasarell's students go beyond nutrition basics to explore the politics and geography of world hunger(http://www.wfp.org/aboutwfp/introduction/hunger_who) as well as solutions, and facilitate donations of food to the world's starving. Examining natural disasters like Hurricane Katrina gives us the opportunity to learn about multiple health-related issues. We are not short on real-world relevance: Bio-engineering of foods, surrogate pregnancy, new vaccines, the poverty-health conection, global warming health implications, media influence, cyber safety... Being residents of New York City places particular demands on our attention. For example, asthma is a leading cause of missed school, andthe most common cause of hospitalization for our children, and New York City remains the epicenter of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the U.S.
