Climate Changes, Health Standards Should Not by: K. Marfian, P. Agatha, M. Gracella, J. Tampi Maranatha Christian University, Bandung, West Java, Indonesia
Background
Climate change is for real. It has been a global issue for quite some time now, and it is affecting many aspects and sectors of humanity. One major issue is in the medical and health realm. A person’ s health is determined by a plethora of internal and external factors. With climate change is in full swing, those determinants become somewhat uncontrollable. Anyone could get sick by microbial infections, parasites, extreme temperatures, and natural diseases. Those events are common right now, and it may sounds worrying for most people. They may think that our health standards is understandably going down right now. But actually, they shouldn’ t be. We actually have all the resources, the money, the facilities, the technologies, and lots of health workers that this world could ever hope for.
Objectives
The main message we want to point out from this video is that although climate change is happening right now, it should not lower humanity’ s health standards. We have all the resources we needed, and we can’ t take them for granted. The key lies within the very core of us as a moral being. Do we have the heart and the conscience to actively take part in maintaining humanity’ s health standards, whatever our field are?
