University of California Los Angeles Medicine and Political Conflict Essay
Hello, I have a mini essay for Medical Anthro due this Sunday (05/30) at 11:59pm (pacific standard). The word count is between 400-500 words. I have included the rubric, prompt, and lecture slides that will greatly help with answering the question.
The prompt is:
This is a short paper, so should not require much research beyond reading a descriptive news article. Describe a case of medicine and political conflict in your own words (it could be from something discussed in class or your own, e.g. Nepal, Bahrain, Syria, Egypt, Palestine, Turkey, Sudan, Ethiopia, Afghanistan, on the US-Mexico border). Explain how the principles of ‘medical impartiality’ and ‘medical immunity’ are either violated or under threat. Make sure your sources are reliable! Use the analytical tools from the readings and lectures to reflect on how this case changes your view about the role of health care practitioners in politics.
