Mr. Gawande starts his literature on washing hands. He introduces two friends a microbiologist and an infectious disease specialist. Both work hard and diligently against the spread of diseases just like Semmelweis who is mentioned in the chapter. Something I learned, that not many realize, is that each year two million people acquire an infection while they are in the hospital. Mainly because the clinicians only wash their hands one-third to one-half as many times as they should. Semmelweis, mentioned earlier, concluded in 1847 that doctors themselves were to blame for childbed fever, which was the leading cause of

What are the main points of this reading (focus on concepts, ideas, and then, not on individual facts)? Chapter 27 deals with the politics and cultural abundances during the Cold War. Because of the Cold War the U.S. gained many new technologies and ideas such as the interstate. Space Shuttles and tornado sirens were also created because of the Cold War era and the new threats it brought. Suburb development was the major effect of the new economic era. We developed new housing areas such as Levittown, along with the new area came new shopping malls and urbanization. There was still the threat of nuclear destruction in this time of development.

Throughout this hard time many minorities gained rights and equality. The Cold War era had a huge

Under the Overpass is about two friends named Mike and Sam as they travel and live as homeless men for five months. They set out to experience life on the streets in six different cities. They only took sleeping bags purchased from a thrift store, the clothes on their backs, and their guitars. They panhandled to travel from city to city. Mike and Sam lived only off of the money they earned panhandling and from shelters and food kitchens. Mike and Sam sought to gain a better understanding of the homeless community that is present all around us while facing the elements, hunger, stress, loneliness, and danger of the streets. They’re goals were to survive, grow in to their faith, and spread the love of Christ to those they came in contact with as they traveled through six cities across America.
