ideas/insights: not everybody has medical insurance, people who do haved it are sitll in debt because their medical insurance doesnt cover for everything (from the moovie sicko), people deal with their illness in different ways (class discussion), once you learn how to die, you learn how to live (tuesdays with morrie)
the number one source was that movie sicko that was very helpful. i didnt really understand why people were always complaining about the health care we have in the united states and how they always think that canada is better. its because they dont have to pay for anything. people in the us have to pay for a lot of stuff and its a question as to why are we the only people who have to pay doctors to take care of us? the classroom was also a good source because when the speaker came in, it also gave us a point of view on the family perspective. the book i was reading, was full of a lot of insights. however, my favorite one was once we learn how to die, we learn how to live. this book personally gave me a whole new outlook on death. i felt like i got a personal one on one interview with morrie and to learn his phylosophy on life was very touching.
maybe some things we could learn or focus on is maybe talking to someone who is actually dying. i know someone who is dying of cancer and i know she would be happy to talk to the class about what she is going through. maybe we could talk to someone who knows a lot about the medical care in the united states. possibly read another book about illness and dying.
