Part 3: Précis: This article more of highlights the pro and cons of how and what social media does to everyone. It definitely causes some severe mental health issues, especially when it comes the more negativity side, cyberbullying, death threats and more. Yet, for the positive side of social media, there are definitely helpful things to look at, as well as things that you enjoy and make you happy, like for example, there’s a video of a puppy of social media, I find it cute and it makes me happy because I love puppies. For the negative side, I know the many bad things there is on media platforms, but it’s best to steer clear of that and don’t let it take over and get to you because the ending result can be very consequential and scary, like leading to mental health and other issues. Social Media’s Pros and Cons is something you have to look out for.

Part 4: Reflection: I decided to choose this topic because I definitely know the different effects of how social media does to one another. I remember doing a high school statistics project similar on that and the results were pretty high on how it negatively affects students. Social media is a good platform to connect with others, as well as family, but it definitely has it’s downfalls that cause insecurities and sadness for people who currently use social media and how often they use it.

Part 5: Quotables

“Social media can provide opportunities to enhance the mental health of users by facilitating social connections and peer support.”

“Social media has become integral to our daily routines: we interact with family members and friends, accept invitations to public events, and join online communities to meet people who share similar preferences using these platforms. Social media has opened a new avenue for social experiences since the early 2000s, extending the possibilities for communication.”

“Concerns have been raised that social media may lead to body image dissatisfaction, increase the risk of addiction and cyberbullying involvement, contribute to phubbing behaviors, and negatively affects mood.”

“Indeed, online communities can provide a space for discussions regarding health conditions, adverse life events, or everyday challenges, which may decrease the sense of stigmatization and increase belongingness and perceived emotional support. Mutual friendships, rewarding social interactions, and humor on social media also reduced stress during the COVID-19 pandemic.”

Part 3: Précis: This article clearly dives into explaining a understanding of some reasons of how diversity and inclusion is more important in the workplace, following the race, age, culture, nationality and the sexual orientation that sums up how people are viewed in the jobs they work because of how people can be treated differently from others. Companies should strive to create a diverse and inclusive workplace that helps to create a positive and productive environment for everyone. This can help to reduce bias and discrimination and create a more inclusive culture. As a result, it is also a useful tool for attracting and retaining high-quality employees. In order to create an environment where everyone, regardless of race and origin, is comfortable and safe, as well as being recognized for their work in the workplace, as well as being respected by their coworkers. When it comes to some jobs that are done in the world, some might only include the majority of men, when there are very little women and or men/women of color that might work in the job, which is an issue for some people because they don’t feel comfortable or respected enough as a person in their job, which is why diversity and inclusion is partically important as a whole.

Part 4: Reflection: I decided to choose this topic and article because I would honestly say that on TV and in real life, diversity is a big concern for most people. On television, there are some shows I watched that included a workplace with very little women, yet there’s a majority of men included there, which makes the women feel left out and not respected for the majority of work that they all do, while the men mostly don’t care what they have to say. Comparing TV to real life situations is more similar sometimes than you think. In real life, even though I haven’t worked in a workplace, I know that when I think of another situation, like school classrooms, I realized that most times, especially when I was in high school, there was a majority of boys in class than there were girls. This shows that the representation of gender, as well as race and nationality in TV is not that farfetched from reality.

Part 5: Quotables:

“A genuinely inclusive workplace doesn’t just have a diversity of people present, it has a diversity of people involved, developed, empowered, and trusted by the business.”

“The difference between diversity, inclusion and belonging is that diversity is the representation of different people in an organization, inclusion is ensuring that everyone has an equal opportunity to contribute to and influence every part and level of a workplace, and belonging is ensuring that everyone feels safe and can bring their full, unique selves to work.”

“Workplaces today are more diverse and globally connected than ever before. With the complexities of today’s work environment, leaders must tap into collective intelligence to maximize the potential of every person.”

“Diversity focuses on representation or the make-up of an entity.”

“Inclusion is about how well the contributions, presence, and perspectives of different groups of people are valued and integrated into an environment.”

“An environment where many different genders, races, nationalities, and sexual orientations and identities are present but only the perspectives of certain groups are valued or carry any authority or influence, may be diverse, but it is not inclusive.”

Part 3: Précis

This article written by Abraham Haileamlak, doctor of medicine, professor of Pediatrics and Child Health, dives into the impact of how COVID-19 affected doctors and people working in healthcare and as well as hospitals where they were taking care of millions of patients that got sick from covid-19 and passed due to it. I know due to COVID-19, it was very devastating for healthcare workers, doctors and nurses to see patients suffer and pass on from the covid-19 virus, a big impact on everyone and families around the world. Stated from the article, “The most common reasons mentioned by for critical gaps or reduced services during COVID-19 were shifting of health care workers to support COVID-19 services, cancellations of planned treatments, decrease in public transport, loss of income to pay for services and limited utilization and high rates of morbidity and mortality among health care workers, were another reason leading to staff shortages.” It provides a pretty good explanation of why healthcare resources and services for covid-19 and sick patients include mostly transportation resources and less money than the healthcare workers, resulting in a shortage of medicines and hospital resources.

Part 4: Reflection

During the covid virus between 2019 and 2020, my family and I were affected by covid-19, which is why I chose this topic. Despite the fact that I find this topic interesting, when it comes to COVID-19, it’s a very important topic to examine, especially when it comes to people’s health. All of us should be aware of the risks and how to protect ourselves and our loved ones. Besides providing support for those affected, we should also provide them with the resources that they need to cope with the situation in the best way possible.

Part 5: Quotables

“Similarly, in Ethiopia, following the first COVID-19 reported case in March 2020, the health system was challenged heavily. The ever increasing COVID-19 cases demanded reshuffling health care workers and repurposing health care facilities.”

“The COVID-19 pandemic, in addition to the direct disease burden, it posed a significant risk of indirect morbidity and mortality from other preventable and treatable diseases as a result of essential health services disruption.”

“The current issue of the Ethiopian Journal of Health Sciences, the sixth regular issue for the year 2021, contains an editorial, twenty-five original articles and two case reports focusing on various topics.”

“A significant level of health service delivery was impacted, especially, during the early times owing to the steady spread of the virus across all settings. It posed challenge on health human resource management, facility utilization and medical supply management.”

“The Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), the global pandemic, causing Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Corona virus -2 (SARS CoV-2), has devastated the world resulting in several million infections and close to five million deaths till late October 2021.”
