While both medical care and public health work to improve the lives of many people, there are several distinctions between the two fields. Healthcare providers such as nurses and doctors are responsible for diagnosing and treating illnesses for individual patients. The care ranges from minor injuries to severe and chronic diseases. Meanwhile, public health strives to improve the well-being of a population. Public health advocates for the overall “promotion and prevention” of diseases before it even becomes an issue for healthcare providers. Public health encourages people to adopt healthy lifestyle choices and strives to control the outbreak of diseases. Although public health is often overlooked in the grand scale of medical care, it is undoubtedly the main aspect in ensuring that the overall health of a community is prospering.

Deciding to start a business is brave and adventurous. The first step to success is a brilliant, viable, profitable idea. Whether you have decided to do it on your own because you are tired of working for someone else, or you are laid off after many years in your organization, before you decide to invest your life savings and get buried in debt, consider the big picture, the current economy, your demographic target consumer and do your research.

When assessing the tradeoffs between suppressing drug use/abuse versus the creation of illicit crime, we see that there are many benefits as well as costs. If policymakers are trying to suppress drug use/abuse, then they will create policies specifically targeting the 20% of the users that consume 80% of the drugs, in other words targeting those who are heavy substance abusers. The benefits in suppressing drug use/ abuse is that we see a reduction in the number of alcohol/drug-related deaths as well as a reduction in addiction to drugs with a high capture rate. For example, according to Philip J Cook, “A Free Lunch,” an increase in federal alcohol taxes could provide everyone expect the alcohol abusers with a net financial gain, which indicates that the higher the taxes, the more likely they will decide not to drink as much. However, while this may be effective for alcohol it doesn’t mean that the same measures of suppression could be effective for other drugs. If we decide to implement higher taxes for cigarettes, then we will see an increase in illicit tobacco markets (as stated in “Unintended Consequences of Cigarette Production, Regulation, and Taxation). When deciding to suppress drug use/ abuse, policies must be tailored specifically to one drug or else we will be causing more harm than

SABMiller and Diageo are two largest beer producer in Africa. ”SABMiller, if combined with its partnership with France's Castel Group, sells roughly 60% Africa’s beer by volume. Diageo’s also expands its operation successfully that Senator Keg, its supercheap beer, is also now number two most popular beers in Kenya.

The interdependence that is happening between both brewers makes the competition happens. As SABMiller produces Impala that is half price from its previous beer Manica, Diageo produces Senator Keg to balance it. Diageo
