Blood is the most vital component of our bodies. It cannot be manufactured artificially, and should be only obtained from other human resources (donors) through what we call blood transfusion (Safizadeh, 2009).

Although they are rare, inquiry about these practices is very important to screen for those at higher risk for AIDS. Therefore, the Ministry of Health in Saudi Arabia prepared a questionnaire that should be filled by all individuals who intended to donate blood for their own and overall community safety. All donors should be confident that answering these questions will benefit their health as well as community health and this could be reached through health education before donation. This questionnaire included some questions to explore the illegal sexual behavior to define the very small percentage of those practicing this behavior in our society. These questions are derived from the Donor History Questionnaire (DHQ) used internationally. The answers of these questions will be treated confidentially, only for the purpose of ensuring community safety. Your response to these questions is essential for you health as well as community safety.
Recommendation
Introducing educational materials to blood donors about importance of blood donation, dangerous diseases that could be transmitted through blood, necessity to inquire about certain behaviors before donation, including homosexuality, signs and symptoms associated with acute HIV and finally that individuals who have engaged in any activity or who have any risk factor that would result in a transmission of dangerous infectious agents though blood should not donate blood or blood components; will facilitate and encourage donor`s active participation in filling in the Ministry of Health
TASK 2 Infectious diseases are the invasion of host organisms, (microbes) which can be invisible to the eyes. The microbes are also known as pathogens. A microbe infects an organism (which is known as the host of the microbe). In a human host, the microorganism causes a disease by either disrupting an important body process or by stimulating the immune system to mount a defensive reaction. The pathogen, interferes with the normal functioning of the host and can lead to chronic wounds, gangrene, loss of an infected limb, and even death.
In Blood Done Sign My Name, a young Vietnam veteran was killed in his home town in an incident that started a string of violence and hatred that has yet to be resolved in the town itself. The events that followed suit after the killing of Henry Marrow are told by a 10 year old Timothy Tyson who recounts the events and then later in life revisits them to try and make sense of the occurrences.

A portion of the illnesses that the Locals abruptly needed to manage are chicken pox, measles, typhus, jungle fever, whooping hack and little pox. Since huge numbers of these maladies were transferable through air and touch, this made it much less demanding for these sicknesses to be transmitted from individual to individual. Out of the considerable number of sicknesses little pox seemed to have been the most decimating to the Locals. One of the fundamental explanations behind this was it was frequently misdiagnosed for being another
During the mid-1900s, white and black communities across the southern states had disputes based on racial segregation within their society. The phrase “separate but equal” was still commonly practiced in some southern communities, in which African Americans still faced mistreatments and harsh discriminations. Timothy B.

Unit 1: Organ Donation Name: Kayden Mataafa Class: HED121A Introduction Organ donation within Australia is something society neglects, many barriers prevent Australians from knowing about donation, and how to go about donating. Organ donation is a life-saving and life-transforming medical process. Organ and tissue donation involves removing organs and tissues from someone who has died (a donor) and transplanting them into someone who, in many cases, is very ill or dying (a recipient) (Donatelife.gov.au, 2018). A donor within Australia cannot decide individually on whether they can or want to donate, in the end the family are always the final deciders in matters regarding organ donation.

Creating a suspenseful movie without it becoming boring, or creating a funny movie that’s not full of cheap jokes are both feats in their own right but the Coen brothers were able to combine the two into there one with their knockout debut Blood Simple. Blood Simples editing creates a suspenseful neo noir film that is full of dramatic irony. The audience knows going on behind the scenes but the characters don 't and they keep making the worst choices. The first edit I will look at in the film is when Marty breaks into Rays house and grabs hold of Abby.
