of megacities face huge risks from the socially-caused diseases like urban violence, unsafe living environments, sexually transmitted diseases, and road-related injuries. Moreover, newcomers in these environments face a significantly low life expectancy level in the megacities. Kotkin (2011) suggests that the life expectancy level in megacities is averagely 57 years, which is approximately seven years below the national level of life expectancy in the United States. The social risks that contribute to numerous health challenges to populations in megacities is attributable to the fact that they are not necessarily better places to live despite solid economic growth. For example, in Mumbai, mass urbanization has contributed… Continue Reading...

an agency about what did occur. They collected forensic evidence and treated her for any potential sexually transmitted diseases she might have been exposed to. They also gave her emergency contraception. While she eventually gets the courage to report the rape to her family and the proper authorities, it is too late to make use of the forensic evidence that was collected.
Post-mortem
The one obvious thing that should be changed is the 90-day window that ostensibly elapsed and thus precluded further action from being taken against the alleged rapist. While it is not terribly unreasonable to expect a rape victim to report a crime against… Continue Reading...

abuse and related practices (e.g., AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases' (STDs) transmission, needle-sharing, etc.) is more apparent, and this impacts the overall society. Addicts who consume drugs via injection make up 22% of the global AID/HIV population. This consequently implies that a rather large share of the Caucasian population is impacted.
A large body of chiefly-qualitative literature exists on the impact of the rapid modern technological, economic, and social changes on Caucasian households and communities. Although numerous linkages exist between this literature's findings and issues linked to drug abuse, investigating these linkages lies beyond the scope of… Continue Reading...
