This genre of essay requires you to analyze problems, suggest solutions, and evaluate the proposed solutions. In this assignment, you will be asked to apply your knowledge and analytical skills to a real-world problem. The goal is that you can see the usefulness of what you have learned and how it helps you think about real-world problems. Also, you may be the one who actually finds a solution!!
Background
The process of writing problem-solution essays includes the following steps (Marshall, 2017):
Provide background or contextual information related to the problem in question
Describe the problem in details
Suggest possible solutions and justify your suggestions by reviewing how the problem has been addressed in the literature and analyzing how the problem may be solved.
Evaluate the proposed solutions by means of considering factors that may negatively or positively affect the implementation of the solutions.
Context
Poor countries of the world are now facing the Coronavirus pandemic. Low-income countries have health systems with less resources and are also economically more vulnerable to the negative economic impact of lockdown. Citizens in LIC countries living in extreme poverty may not find it easy to quarantine as they may be living in overcrowded environments or may need to work in order to find enough resources to eat.
In addition, the government in low-income countries face limited access to financial markets and may not be able to borrow enough resources to implement economic stimulus measures like the ones applied in the developed world (suspension of foreclosures on rent, increase unemployment insurance coverage, loan programs to small business, rescue funds to affected industries, etc…).
For these reasons, dealing with the Coronavirus outbreak is a lot more challenging in low-income countries.
Task
Write an Essay of no more than 600 words where you discuss the problem that low income countries are facing due to the coronavirus outbreak. Offer 3 policy recommendations (or “solutions”) on how to deal with this crisis. What should be the role of developed countries?
Unicef states that 250,000 women die every year because of legal and illegal abortions: 75,000 of them die of self-inflicted abortions; 75,000 die of convulsions; and the other 100,000 die of blood poisoning caused by an infection of the uterus. Therefore, if abortion is legalized there will be not only more fetal murders but also more mothers will die.
None of the methods women use to abort are completely safe. One of the most common methods used is Suction Aspiration. The doctor uses a special tool to suck the baby into a collection bottle. Great care must be taken to prevent the uterus from being damaged, which would cause haemorrhage. A woman with haemorrhage will need a blood transfusion that could cause her AIDS. Also infection may easily occur if fetal tissue is left behind in the uterus. Another method used for babies as old as twenty four weeks, is the Dilation and Evacuation. Sharp jaws are used to grasp different parts of the unborn baby which are then torn away. The skull of the baby must be crushed to facilitate the procedure.
Another technique used by a lot of pregnant women is the RU486. The RU486 are pills used to abort the undesired child. These pills have very dangerous side effects. They could cause severe bleeding, nausea, vomiting, pain, and even death. In France a woman died because of this drug while others suffered life threatening heart attacks. Also RU486 can cause severe malformations in later pregnancies. Therefore the baby is not the only one that is endangered.
The baby’s mother not only has to deal with physical consequences, but also psychological problems that could last for a lifetime. Women that abort usually suffer severe traumas. Once, a woman was rapped by five men. She didn’t want to have the child, but her pain and embarrassment were so great that she couldn’t abort until the last month. She is still in psychological treatment.
