Part 1
We are studying
the Ebola outbreak in globalization. I have learned many things that I did not
know about the Ebola virus when I was researching for our class project. From
what it is to how it is spread.
One of the biggest
things that I learned that I did not know before was that the main carrier of Ebola
was the fruit bat, and that one fruit bat can also spread it to more bats.
Another thing that I didn't know was that the Ebola virus can be transferred
from the animals to humans. One more thing that I didn't know was that the
Ebola virus can be spread through uncooked meats. I also didn't know that the environment
plays a factor in the spread of Ebola. The reason why the environment plays a
factor in the spread of Ebola is if you take the animal’s environment humans
will have more chances in coming into contact with the virus.
Over the course of
the class assignment I learned many things that I didn't know. From the spread
of the Ebola virus to how the environment plays a factor on how the disease can
spread. The Ebola virus is a scary thing but the more that we can learn about it
the better off we can be.
Part 2
Globalization is everywhere; one of the things
that we are studying in globalization is global health. A few questions are
raised on the topic of global health one is how will the future population
contain global health issues. Also another question is how will the environment
affect the ability for disease to spread.
Think
of a virus, a virus does not stop spreading if not contained, because Diseases
and health problems know NO BORDERS. A question that I mentioned earlier is; How
will the future population contain the diseases that the current population is
having problems containing. I believe that in the future there will be a
vaccination and a cure for Ebola and that population will not have to worry
about it. If a new virus were to arrive I believe that they will have the technology
to confront the virus.
Another
question that I had mentioned earlier was how will the environment affect the
ability for a disease to spread. Like for instance the Ebola outbreak, Ebola’s
main carrier is the fruit bat and with the rising population we are taking some
of the habitat of the fruit bat and other infected animals causing greater odds
for human encounter with infected animals. Now in the future I believe that
there will be stricter rules for deforestation so the odds won’t be as large
for cross encounters.
Globalization
has ties to everything in the world even the bad diseases. How the future
generations will react to the situations that we are facing right now will be
interesting to see. The future holds many mysteries that we won’t know about
hopefully cures are in one of the mysteries.
