Over a month ago we talked about global health care and health systems. We talked about how global society is made up of three main components: civil society, management through global institutions (education and healthcare), and security. The institutions of education is global because of the informal homogenization of education. The structure of schooling is latent curriculum which is unofficial or hidden forms of schooling. This also points to the authority, study skills, and time management of education. Now healthcare is global because people try to globally try to find a cure to certain diseases.
This also brings up the four negative effects of globalization. Transborder health risks, growth of nonstate actors, worsening socioeconomics political, and environmental problems and weakening of the ability of nations to meet global health changes are all negative effects of globalization.

Know Impact (Sumblog 12)
After doing the know impact worksheet that was given to us I realized that I am environmentally conscious but I can always do more and I do sometimes make mistakes. We cannot take our resources for granted. Someday they will run out when we need them the most. We also have to think about the future of our children and their children. We want them to have access to the resources they need.
I can see how it might be easy to hurt the environment sometimes if everybody else is doing it. For example when you go to a concert and you see a lot of people littering, it makes you feel that you can do this too. This is called releasor cue. This is when you feel compelled to do something because others are doing it and your judgement becomes clouded on the matter. I learned this from studying recreational impacts in my Forestry 335 class.
We need to remember to always be conscious of the environment. Not over the top like "GO GREEN OR DIE" people but be aware of how many ways you effect the environment and what does that does to the resources we need and that our children will need in the future.
This is a great video that shows the horrific impacts of littering that we cause all the time.
