100 People a World Portrait - 2nd video on global health
bill.meyers Feb 13, 2018
What are your thoughts on battling global health issues? How can we get cures to the people who need them?
I think person, who will be from my country might be clever( for example know 5-10 languages), read a lot of information and might use it, might be communicable and generous. Now, i can't name a certain person from Ukraine, who might represent my state with dignity. If it was in the past, I will chose Lesya Ukrainka or Taras Shevchenko, because they were really patriots and wise people.
ReplyDeleteAbout health issues... A lot of people refuse to inject, they don't understand, that they endanger themselves and others. Also a lot of people have disastrous habits, what lead to various illnesses. I think doctors and people, who knows science, should to find or invent more good medicine,what will help a lot of people. For exaple: cancer, AIDS and HIV. A lot of people from different countries died, die and will die, because we do nothing for our environment and elimination of diseases.
Totally agree with you
DeleteI also think that Taras Shevchenko would be an excellent representative of Ukraine in a hundred
After all, what would be your country remember you yourself must love her and respect
Anna Chepurna
I agree with you.
DeleteThe world state simply perishes,
it does nothing with deadly diseases.
The world is going downhill!

So, in my opinion, people, who will be in these 100 must be educated and professionals in their business, have many useful skills that can help in different situations, have a certain position, opinion and culture that they can develop, distribute and give to descendants.
ReplyDeleteHealth is very important part of our life and I think, we really must think about it. Nowadays many people have forgotten about really global problem, about people who are dying. We mustn't be indifferent to this and people who really knows more in this area might do something for help them and our life in general.
I agree with Olga. But I want to add that not all people with a good ovite, those professionals in their cause ... are able to do good deeds, and this is also very important.
DeleteI agree with the first part of Olga's statement that they must be educated and have good caultites. But I disagree with the fact that she said many people have forgotten that others are dying. I don't believe that's true. Maybe what you were trying to say was that people are forgetting about helping others around the world and not just themselves.
Delete1. I would suggest our famous Ukrinian writer Lina Kostenko. Because she is wise and very clever person. She has seen a lot in life, so she has a very great experience. Also she know a few languages. She has written a lot of lyrical works which have a huge meaning. And of course, I reccommend you her works, because they are worth reading. She is an amazing woman.
ReplyDelete2.I think that our gouvernment and governments of other countries must to invest in the development of medical technology. Doctors need a high-quality equipment to invent vaccines, medicaments and also to learn diseas. Of course people also have to make efforts to improve their lives. For example, go to dietician and improve own diet. In Ukraine many people don't follow their food and this produces in humans a variety of serious and common illnesses.
I totally agree with you. Lina Kostenko is educated and she knows a lot of languages to communicate with other people from different countries.
DeleteHi,
DeleteAfter researching Lina, I completely agree with you. I think it would be good to have highly educated people in literature and language. People with this type of education usually communicate well with others. This would be very important in a small society. I also agree that countries should invest more in medical reasearch. I think that if several countries funded a research project, lots of cures could be found, and the countries could become more united.
I think it should be a responsible, resourceful and clever person. I can not name any specific people. this person should take things seriously, know a lot of useful information.
ReplyDeletePeople do not understand that you can not buy health for money. Now people do not think about it and sometimes endanger others. it would be great if they could find a cure for cancer and other incurable diseases, yes, it can be prevented, but you never know what awaits you.
Dmytro Maevskyi
DeleteI agree with Sonia. But I want to add that not all people with a good ovite, those professionals in their cause ... are able to do good deeds, and this is also very important.
1.I would put Konstantin Nikolayevich Tyshchenko out of my community to represent the world population. You probably have not heard of him, but he is a Ukrainian linguist, a teacher, a translator, a doctor of philological sciences, a professor. One of the reasons is that he knows more than twenty languages and has developed a meta-theory of linguistics. Other reasons are that he has his own position in life.
ReplyDelete2. In my opinion, first of all, it is necessary to improve the standard of living in some countries (Africa, Asia, etc.). Then you need to make a vaccine against the disease from the moment of the baby's birth. Authorities in all countries should also develop medical technologies.
ReplyDeleteI would like to nominate Andrei Shevchenko. Because he is a famous footballer and a famous personality. With his work he achieved high results in sports, became a coach of the national team of Ukraine. For such as he should build the sports future of our country.
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeletePeople should not take drugs, alcohol, do not smoke. For this, sports should be developed in countries. People should lead an active and healthy lifestyle. Also, healthy food and rest are needed.
I agree with your opinion. But unfortunately, in Ukraine there is not enough sport, the state does not care about the development of sports in Ukraine. And it's very sad ... by Denys Nykytenko
DeleteI think, that last 100 people, who left on Earth, must be educated experienced specialists, who will live a better life without dirty air, pollution and other echologist problems.
ReplyDeleteHi! I totally agree with you, the last 100 people have to live without a polluted environment, like all the people now.
DeleteYehor Dadiveren, 8G
I think this human may be scientist or just clever person. This man or woman must be clever in modern life and things. This person must know many languages to communicate with other people from different countries
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way, he(or she) must be communicable and clever
DeleteAnna Chepurna
I think someone with a very persuasive way of,speaking so they can get plenty of donations from upper class.
ReplyDeleteJimmy
The person should have been expierenced with medical and health. The person also should be aware of the problems of health issues and should have helped lots of sick people.
ReplyDeleteHi!
DeleteI concur with you. The fact that a person should have a medical experience (a doctor, a nurse) and help sick people. So this person will help save the population.
Hi! My name is Zhenia.
ReplyDeleteToday our planet suffers from pollution. I think the last 100 people who will left on the Earth won't suffer from pollution . And they will live in harmony with nature
I think so too, because a hundred people will not be able to pollute the planet like seven billion people
DeleteAnya Chepurnaya
I think that one of the last people on earth should be Albert Einstein. I think that he could contribute to the society greatly. He could be the scientist and he could invent things to help the community. I think that we should be taking action on the global heath issues around the world. Everyone in the world should contribute to helping others of our same species to live healthy lives. Just because of their skin, where they live, and how much money they have, doesn’t mean they deserve to suffer from bad health and other conditions.
ReplyDeleteHi!
DeleteI couldn't agree more, because Albert Einstein was absolutely a great scientist, who has brought a huge contribution to our world.
Also I totally agree with your point about Global Health Issues. Everyone should help others to live healthy lives, because we all know that in some countries people live in the unsanitary conditions, without pure water, electricity and etc.
Hi, Cooper! I totally agree with you. From among the last people must remain a person, who will try to make the lives of other people better. In my opinion it could also be Archimedes, because he made a lot of discoveries in various spheres so he would be able to help humanity.
DeleteMariia Batih. Kiev. Ukraine.
Hi! I also agree that Albert Einstein could help the world. Scientists can recreate the world again. Using his knowledge he could help many people. He was a genius and could present our world.
DeleteYaryna Slaba
Thank you all for responding!
DeleteI also agree that Archimedes would help the 100 people out a lot. I think that if Albert Einstein and Archimedes were the only two scientists out of 100 people, they could do great things
Cooper
When looking to nominate someone from my community to represent my country and lifestyle, I would nominate one of my teachers, Dr. G. She is a caring, compassionate person, but at the same time is tough and has a "rub some dirt on it" attitude. She is open to others opinions, but is not easily swayed by them. Also, since she is a teacher, she is very smart and has a lot of good ideas. All in all, I think the would be a great person to represent my community.
ReplyDeleteWhen battling health issues and trying to get vaccines and medication to all people, poor or rich, I think we really just need to educate them on the disease itself. If they know nothing about what they are sick with, then how are they supposed to know that they have this disease or get a vaccine for it? We need to go around and tell people about the vaccines and how it can help them and their family.
Hi Ava!
DeleteIn my opinion your teacher can represent your comunity. At this moment, we will not always can find a person who can listen to your ideas and say where there is a mistake. If I must find people who reprecent my community I choose my English teacher.
Yehor Horlenko 8-A Kiev/Ukraine
Hi guys !!!
DeleteI agree with Ava and Egor that you can choose a teacher. I chose an English teacher, because Natalia Ivanovna will find a common language with everyone, agree, help. After all, everyone will speak a common language and I think that it will be English.

I nominate Kendall Cooper from our community to repersent to the world. Kendall is a selfless passionate young hearted woman and I believe with her determination she could help our world with wise guidance. -Faith
ReplyDeleteHi, I think it's a good idea to send Kendall Cooper to represent the world.
DeleteI worked with Kendall in 1 team.
We investigated Diabetes.
I was very impressed by the video of Kendall and Fatima about the gadget.
Kendall is really smart, self-sacrificing and resolute.
She would be able to present the whole world very well!
I nominate Calvin Shumacher to be the leader of the world if there was only 100 people. I nominate him because he is always having other peoples thoughts and ideas in mind. He is smart and very good at interacting with other people. He is funny, but can get work done. All in all, Calvin would be a great representative of our world. - anna j
ReplyDeleteHello Anya!
DeleteI really like your idea!
It's very good that Calvin always cares about the thoughts and ideas of other people.
Unfortunately I do not know him well, but in your story, it seems to me that he is a very good person.
And he could represent the whole world well.
I would choose Marie Curie because she was a very good scientist and she was also a very independent person. we would need her because she could help lead our society in the right direction. She worked her whole life on what she loved science. I think it is very important to help cure global health issues because in our current world too many people have gone un-treated. I think we need to educate more people on global health isues
ReplyDeleteHi,Luke!
DeleteI absolutely agree with you.She is a very smart person.The Nobel Prize was awarded: in physics and chemistry, the first twice Nobel laureate in history.She founded the Curie Institutes in Paris and in Warsaw.
I would nominate Diana Reidy to represent our world population. I would nominate her because she has great determination and perserverance and with her hard work and great ideas, she would be able to create great change in our larger society. She would be able to take people's ideas and turn them into a reality in order to help our community. I believe she can take on this task and do a great amount of good to help our society. -Campbell
ReplyDeleteWhen asked to nominate someone from my community to represent the world, I would choose my mom. She is caring, cooperative, and always has a positive attitude towards learning and making our world a better place. She has experience being a doctor, and working in other countries making people happier and healthier. She also has a common goal to help those who are less fortunate. All in all, I would chose my mom to represent my community.
ReplyDeleteI believe that the best way to face our global health issues is to address them first hand and inform every person about the risks, encouraging them to take a vaccine or do something for prevention. If we expose every person to these medical issues, and give them the resources to get healthier and stay healthier I believe that this will make an impact on these issues.
Hello, Emma. I think it's a good idea that in this community there were doctors. Ukraine can imagine such people as Nikolai Amosov or Nikolai Sklifosovsky.They did a lot in their time to save the lives of others. These people are worthy to represent their country.
DeleteMariia Batih. Kiev. Ukraine
I think you're a wonderful daughter and you have a wonderful mother
DeleteWhen I think of the world being 100 people, the one person I would choose to represent the U.S. would probably be one of my church youth group leaders. Her name is Jordan Koornneef and she is an amazing person that I look up to. In the U.S., kids graduate high school at age 17 or 18 and graduate form college at age 22 or 23. Jordan is 20 and she already went to college, got her bachelors degree and has a full time job helping others. She would be the one person I would nominate to represent for the 100 people.
ReplyDeleteFor Global Health, I think that it shouldn’t cost as much and if it has to cost something, make it so that everyone around the world can afford it. That would mean that in some countries it would cost less but then it would hopefully decrease the amount of children under five who die every year from not being able to get the medicine they need. Also getting the word out to everyone would hopefully get people working on a solution that would benefit everybody and make the world a better place with less global health issues.
John Galt from Atlas Shrugged would be a great representative of my community, and the whole world. While not a real person, he is an ideal to aspire to. He uses the power of his mind to further human's existence. In the book Atlas Shrugged, he invented a motor that makes electricity out of the air. He refuses to take his happiness and success as guilt, and refuses to start the use of force. By moving toward his own success, he invents things that better human existence. He describes himself as the man who loves his life, and he refuses to apoligze for that. We could use more people like him.
ReplyDeleteIn order to solve the global health challenge, private industries need more freedom to invent new cures and vaccines and more freedom to sell them in third-world countries. These doctors need to be paid more, as incentive to be better to make more money. This would allow for more competition, leading to better products and lower prices, and more incentive for the doctors to make these communities more healthy.
My thoughts on global health issues is that it is very unfortunate that people are not receiving the right medication and dying from theses diseases that are living in rural areas. I think that we should distribute more hospitals in lower income countries than in higher income countries because transportation is not as a issue as it is for the people in poorer areas. -Faith
ReplyDeleteI am pleased to agree with you. And that's not enough! Unfortunately, Ukraine has come to the list of countries with problems by Denys_Nykytenko
Deletei think we as a world need to not have a hospital every few miles if there are options to drive, because having a car means a few miles is just a couple minutes. Therefore, we should use the vaccines and medicines at these extra and unneeded hospitals at hospitals in lower income countries and areas. The people in the lower income areas need the vaccines more than we do, we need to get our medicines to the other people who need it too. The sicknesses that these people are going through is not okay because we have the options and resources to help them. My thoughts on this topic is that we must put the struggling people first and put the people with access and great health care second.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely, I feel the same way .I think it is very practical. People who need help immediately will receive help. This will lead to lower losses. This is the life for the elderly and children .
DeleteI think that health issues in rural countries are destroying their community's and people because it takes over one part of the country, and then spreads to another part. I also think that our country needs to stop adding hospitals on every block and begin using those materials and money in lower income countries to help those populations receive the same access to healthcare because transportation in those countries is minimal and hard to get and having a hospital near, will help people receive the proper medication.
ReplyDeleteThat may be true, however I think people who live in rural areas are much healthier than people who live in the city. People in the villages of breathing fresh air, work and farming. People in the villages are much healthier and less sick.
DeleteI like your idea becouse many people die in poor countries. Becouse they havn't any hospitals and medecine.
DeleteI nominate Abraham Lincoln because he took our country far and made a big difference in time as president. For example, he eliminated slavery and because of that many people are free who would be if this man was not president.
ReplyDeleteGlobal Health Care should be provided because there are so many sick people who can not get cures to a curable disease. I think we need to find a way to make vaccines available across the world and either make them incredibly inexexpensive or make them not cost anything. People are dying all across the world because they do not have access to free health care and that is not ok. At this point in time we need to look at ourselves and know we can not spare any more lives.
Hello Heidi,
DeleteI think so too. Abraham Lincoln was a good person and I think that he could do more for people around the world. I'd nominate Mykola Amosov because he was awesome doctor-healer.
Best wishes,
Bohdan Dolhyi,Kiyv,Ukraine
I would nominate Ghandi because of his human rights activism. He would be able to help the remaining humans survive more effectively. Based on his ideals, he would also advocate for a peaceful rebuilding of society. Also, he has experience with suffering, so he could easily empathize with all of the remaining humans. All in all, he would be a great candidate to represent our world community.
ReplyDeleteThe first step that our society should take in supporting global health is, in my opinion, educating people in more privileged communities about the health issues occurring around the world. If our community knew more about these issues, they will have more sympathy for the less unfortunate members of our society. With this heightened education, more students will be interested in improving global health.
Hello J.T.,
Deletethat's a good point!I think you're a very clever person. I've never heard about him. I'd nominate Marie Curie because she was a scientist and she could found some medicaments,which could help people.
Best wishes,
Bohdan Dolhyi,Kyiv,Ukrane.
1. I would want to nominate someone that can speak multiple languages and is smart and clever. It would also be someone who knows what's right and wrong, and has the best interests of people in mind. I would nominate Kendall, because she has the work ethic, the moral righteousness, and the public speaking abilities necessary. Also, she would stand up for what she believes in.
ReplyDelete2. I think that health is very important. We have taken great leaps to reach where we are now, but many of the poorer countries in the world don't have the healthcare that they need. inventing cheap and easily accessible medications and treatments for those countries would be a good way to help. Also, we would need people who would visit these countries and see firsthand who these people are and what they need.
Helo,Madeleine
DeleteI agree with your opinion to nominate someone that can speak multiple languages.I offer My friend Yulia ,she knows five languages.
As for health problems, I also agree with you that medicine should be cheap,I suggest to open more medical universities and centres to educate people how to prevent illnesses.
Liza Osipchuk. Team 6
I would nominate my classmate, Kendall Cooper, because she is an incredibly well-rounded and dynamic person. She is smart and passionate, and is capable of doing great things through her determination and hard work ethic. She is very kind to every person she meets, and always is outgoing and energetic. Lastly, she would represent us well because she has a strong sense of who she is in the world and what kind of person she strives to be.
ReplyDeleteAccess to medical care is incredibly important for our world. I believe that one of our biggest problems is that we don't have enough people in the medical field that are assisting people in impoverished countries. There are plenty of doctors and nurses in America, but few are willing to assist people in a foreign and often times poor environment. Because of this, I believe that we need to be drawing doctors into this area of work. We can do this by supporting organizations like Doctors Beyond Borders, educating the medical community on the impact that a doctor can make in a struggling place, and finally offering more incentives (like money) to get doctors to help these people.
Hello , Desi !!!!
DeleteI agree with your opinion , I'd also could choose an old classmate .
She is clever , kind , smart .Her name Valeria .
She wonts to learn from the doctor .Doctors need a high-quality equipment to invent vaccines, medicaments and also to learn diseases. Of course people also have to make efforts to improve their lives.
Sofiia Voloshyna
In my opinion, there are many clever people in Ukraine.These people made significant discoveries for development of science and medicine of Ukraine^ Mykola Amosov(cardiologist), Olegt Antonov(aircraft designer) and Borys Paton (academician)/ I think that such people could be sent there.
ReplyDeleteYulia Yushchenko
I totally agree with you.They did a lot for the whole earth.They are very prominent people.Although two of them have already died, but people remember them until today.
DeleteHi !
DeleteI agree with you in Ukraine there are many doctors who deserve to be one of 100 people.
Ruslana Shymohina 8-A Kiev/Ukraine
1) In my opinion if there left 100 people on the planet , I would chose a person who knows the 3-4 languages. to present our country. She is a smart , well-read woman , is able to talk with people. Perhaps it would be a journalist or a tv presenter who has a sense of humor .
ReplyDeleteI chose Kateryna Osadcha . She is smart , she has a sense of humor and she is able to talk with people .She would beautifully present our country !!!
2) We do not guard our environment. We do not care about this but we have to. Because most diseases are moving out of the environment. Most people have bad habits and these habits are the agent of the disease. Some people refuse the injection that we need. Many people die from this. So we must keep on health and the environment!
Sofiia Voloshyna
I totally agree with you that some people refuse the injection that we need and it's very bad for all people. Because if there were no injections, we would continue to live for 30 years as in the Middle Ages. And I also agree with your point that we must protect nature.
Delete2 Firstly it is necessary to ban smoking because the lungs passive smokers suffer no less than the light active smoker
ReplyDeleteSecondly it is necessary to provide medicine or at least clean water to the people who do not have this
Anna Chepurna
1.
ReplyDeleteI think that the best person who could present Ukraine would be Ruslana because she led our Ukraine to the victory at Eurovision.
2.
I think that you could come up with a mechanical arm to perform some microscopic operations. For example, cut a tumor so as not to damage any life or an important organ.
Ruslana_Shymohina
If there were 100 people left on earth, it was necessary to choose the main one, then I would choose Poroshenko. I think that he would have coped with all the diseases that are encountered today. He could offer many different vaccines against deadly diseases such as cancer, tuberculosis, AIDS and others. Together with him would have worked many chemists and biologists who together could save the world from deadly diseases.
ReplyDeleteArtur Buryi
I would nominate civil rights activist, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., to represent part of the last 100 people on earth as his driven, confident, and peaceful nature changed history and the outcome of my life today. Through his actions against discrimination of skin color, he quickly became a world leader of which many can relate to. Furthermore, I feel he would best contribute to the last 100 people on earth by spreading his notions of equality, civil justice, and peace to others.
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts on battling world health issues include equal distribution of low pricing of medication to the greater community and educating them about the importance of staying healthy. I feel that if we lower the pricing of health care to those who are currently suffering of disease, they will have better access and affordability to proper treatments .Also, if we continue to teach society through
PSAs and media the importance of public health, I feel we will be able to leave behind a large positive impact on the population of those who are sick.
I agree with you Kendall I think that Dr.Martin Luther King would be a great person to nominate because he was a great person and helped our country in many ways.
Delete1) In my opinion , Ukraine and the whole world should be represented by a well-qualified person with a large vocabulary.
ReplyDeleteThese are journalists, TV presidents.
They have a good language and they can tell a lot.
For example, Alexander Skichko.
He is a TV presenter.
In 2017, Alexander was a conductor at the Eurovision.
I think that he could represent Ukraine very well.
2) At the moment, many people die (sick) from poor quality products, medicines, vaccines.
Also, most get sickness from the environment.
Dym and gases from cars, factories.
People's breathe air with chemical elements.
Because of this, many people are sick.
To prevent this, though a little, it is possible to create machines that will not be able to deduce chemical elements.
And plants are built around a city where there are few people.
This would help us to somehow get rid of global health problems.
Millions of people are suffering from cancer.
Some of them suffer from cigarettes.
They are very harmful to health.
The cigar contains a lot of harmful substances that harm our health.
If you stop cigarette production, the number of patients will be much reduced.
You in the world would have less global health problems.
People, take care of your health and the health of others!
Let's make our world better!
1. I think that a person who can represent Ukraine is Nadiia Savchenko.
ReplyDeleteNadiia Savchenko is a Ukrainian politician, people's deputy of Ukraine from 2014.
From July 2014 to May 25, 2016, Nadiia Savchenko was deprived of her liberty in Russia and dismissed as a result of a Ukrainian-Russian political agreement.
She holds the title of the Hero of Ukraine.
Nadezhda Savchenko is very courageous, brave and strong.
She deserves to represent our country.
2.I think people should think about drugs from grave and fatal diseases.For example - cancer, AIDS, cardiovascular diseases.But the main - people should take care of their health.
Yaryna Slaba
Hi.
DeleteI totally agree with you. Because it must be a really brave and strong person. Nadya Savchenko is like that. And people should first think about the harm of drugs and what harm they do to their bodies, not when they are already terminally ill.
