Beginning A Public Health Campaign
...Black lives matter Health Communications: Minority Youth Substance Abuse Solutions
Introduction: Why a Public Health Campaign is Needed
The rise of the opioid epidemic in America has been well documented by researchers (Nelson, Juurlink & Perrone, 2015; Manchikanti et al., 2012). As millions of youths are at risk of succumbing to substance abuse via street drugs and opioids, the need for a public health campaign is evident (Murthy, 2016). The issue of reducing the spread of substance abuse among minority youths is particularly important because a high percentage of those who become addicted to or substance abusers is found in minority populations and particularly high among Asian Americans (Winter, 2016). In order to prevent the spread of substance abuse among minority youth, a public health campaign should be developed and implemented.

The Impact Of The Black Death On European Society
How Did The “black Death” Reshape European Society?
As it spread across Europe, the black Death did more than just wipe out tens of millions of people. Far beyond the impact the black Death had on individual lives, the disease had a tremendous impact on the evolution of European culture and history. The black Death flattened the social hierarchy because the disease did not discriminate between rich and poor. As a result, the poor and working classes … poor and working classes organized to overthrow the centuries-old exploitative labor systems like feudalism. Because neither church nor state responded credibly to the black Death, the epidemic weakened the authority of the Catholic Church and fostered populist rebellions. Likewise, the black Death prompted interest in credible scientific responses to disease, even while superstition and religiosity remained. The disease led to widespread population migrations, the … The disease led to widespread population migrations,……
