National Security

The 9th Circuit today, in an unanimous decision, indefinitely stayed the Executive Order banning individuals from the 7 Muslim countries. The broadly written order, called by Mr. Trump as “Beautifully written….which even a bad high school student would understand”, banned anyone coming in from the seven countries and applied to Green card holders, visa holders and everyone. The Trump administration argued that the seven countries were identified by Mr. Obama as terrorist breeding ground. After the defeat, Mr. Trump has said that he would issue another executive order. Hopefully this one will be narrowly drawn and exclude people possessing a green card or a visa.
But the real issue is that Trump is ruling by creating fear in the minds of people. That fear when generalized lead to the hatred of all Muslims. So far, this country is everyone’s country. You did not have to be Christian or white to belong here. Is there a particular dress code or food or entertainment that defines America? If this was Saudi Arabia, we women would have to cover ourselves head to toe. If we were to live there, we would curse at the heat and the cover and would not like that country. Similarly, getting people to not wear the hijab in France has led to Muslim people feel alienated. And thus, the most number of radicalized Muslims are from France.
I hear a lot of talk of how America needs to “assimilate” the Muslims. Is eating pork, or dressing in shorts American? Is eating beef American? How do you define America? And CAN you define America? You feel American if the general people love you and are friends. So far, America had done an amazing job doing just that, accepting everyone, no matter what our ethnicity is. We listen to Fareed Zakaria or Arianna Huffington, no matter their accents. Trump’s America might fail to do that. By hating Muslims, they will effectively shove Muslims to become radicalized.
And this brings me to my final point—Travel ban. I will even refrain from uttering the word Muslim. Is travel really essential to learn to become a terrorist? We have the internet. I have done many things that I would normally not have; simply by watching you tube videos. A recent New York Times article investigated the so called “lone wolf” attacks and proved that ISIS is behind all those killings. And the hatred for Muslims will only exacerbate the situation. Maybe Trump has no qualms about putting America in danger, because an unsafe America will only increase his power.

Immigration and Assimilation

admin — Fri, 04 Nov 2016 17:09:27 +0000

My US born children have often been asked, “Where are you from?” Houston, is often not an acceptable answer to the questioning party. Its usually followed by, “Where are you really from, or where are your parents from.” This probably happens to US born non white children. I remember that American Immigration Lawyer’s Association had a blog about how important immigration is when Jeremy Lin had his “Linsanity” moment. Yet Lin was born in the US. However, the question still arises, does Immigration demand assimilation?
Color cannot be changed to “look” American. However assimilation was a big question since our country’s history. The Immigration and Naturalization Act of 1906 limited Immigration to “Caucasian” descent only. US v Bhagat Singh made a case that Mr. Singh was Caucasian of Indo European descent. The SCOTUS held that even though he might be of Aryan race (which they said was probably intermixed with Dravidian blood) Immigration was still impossible because he would not be able to “assimilate” into the American society. That made all people of Indian descent, including the father of Amar Bose, the creator of Bose Speakers, illegal.
However with successive waves of immigrants from England, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, all brought their culture and their food, and assimilated into the melting pot of American society.
The US has a melting pot philosophy, while countries like Canada or France have a Cultural Mosaic. The difference is whether the country considers itself homogenous vs heterogeneous. Proponents of Multiculturalism decry Melting Pot theory, yet the Mosaic system has been shown to cause more discrimination. In a Mosaic system, the majority always think they are better than other groups. Yet, in modern times, it can be argued that assimilation is difficult, because the world is more connected. Immigrants can easily keep in cultural contact with their homeland via the internet, and thus create more of a mosaic society living in their own cultural world, and not embracing the “American” culture.
Whatever the case may be culturally Immigrants have made USA very diverse. You can get superb food from practically all major countries in your own city. Birth of fusion culture arises everywhere, from food trucks, to rock music. This year more than 1 million people applied for Citizenship, proving that most Immigrants are happy and love America.

Missed Diagnoses Are Most Common Medical Malpractice Claims

admin — Fri, 25 Oct 2013 11:33:47 +0000

A new study found that medical malpractice claims are most commonly associated with missed diagnoses of heart attack and cancer.

Irish researchers conducted the study, which appeared in BMJ Open on July 18. The researchers reviewed over 7,000 journal papers regarding medical malpractice claims, focusing on claims filed against primary care physicians, as that is who provides initial line of care to patients.

The researchers found 34 journal articles relevant to their research, from the United States, United Kingdom, France, Australia and Canada. The study found that the most commonly reported claims of medical malpractice were those involving missed diagnoses. Depending on the study, missed diagnoses were found to account for between 26 and 63 percent of the total. Death occurred in between 15 and 48 percent of the missed diagnosis claims.

The researchers from Trinity College Dublin and the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland Medical School found that heart attack and cancer were the most common missed diagnoses, followed by appendicitis, bone fractures and ectopic pregnancy. In cases involving children, cancer and meningitis were the most common missed diagnoses.

After missed diagnoses, medication errors were the most common medical malpractice claim. Such errors were seen in between 6 and 20 percent of the cases, and involved drugs including antibiotics, anticoagulants, steroids, antidepressants and antipsychotics.

The study found that the number of medical malpractice claims filed against primary care physicians in the United States has not changed significantly in the past 20 years.

Alzheimer’s Less Prevalent Among Those Who Retire Later, Study Shows

admin — Fri, 16 Aug 2013 11:09:07 +0000

A new study in France of nearly half a million retirees provided support for the theory that using one’s brain can help prevent Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia. That is because the research shows a link between delayed retirement and a lowered risk of the disorder.

The results did not come as a surprise to researchers. When compared with the life of a retiree, working life tends to provide more social connections, physical activity, and mental challenges – all factors shown to help prevent a decline in mental faculties.

Researchers at INSERM, a health research agency of the French government, analyzed the health records of 429,000 workers. They averaged 74 years of age and had been in retirement an average of 12 years.

The study showed that each additional year of work reduced the risk of developing dementia by about 3 percent. On average, an individual who had retired at 65 had about 15 percent less risk of dementia than someone who had retired at 60.

Sometimes declining mental abilities force people into early retirement, and researchers knew they had to control for that possibility. To do so, they ran separate analyses of their data that eliminated subjects who had developed dementia within 5 years of retirement and within 10 years. The trend was the same, demonstrating that work had affected dementia and not the other way around.

About 5 million people in the U.S. have Alzheimer’s – 1 of every 9 people who are 65 years or older. While the cause remains unknown and no treatments exist to slow its progression, scientists recommend certain lifestyle changes that are likely to lower the risk of developing it. They include: exercise and general physical activity; social connections, including volunteer work and joining clubs; healthy eating, including lots of vegetables; and mental challenges, such as crossword puzzles.
