week #4 - homeless in Hawaii

 In Hawaii you can notice many homeless people. They ask you some money of food. They sometimes try to steal money from you. But why there are so many homeless people in Hawaii? There are two reasons. one is the high cost of house. And second is the homeless who moves from other places.

 First of all, in Hawaii the cost of house is extremely expensive. Because lands of Hawaii are limited, and because many people immigrate to Hawaii from other countries, the housing price is getting more expensive each year. People cannot offer money to their house, even they are working full time job.

 Second, those homeless people we see in Hawaii are not all from local. Many of them came from mainland. Hawaii has nice weather and beautiful beach, so homeless people spent their last money for plane tickets to Hawaii.

Week #4 reading journal - health care for....?

 In some countries, health care, like education, is considered a public service that governments provide against their citizens. Most people are vaccinated against infectious diseases, or treated when they are ill, and informed about health problems in their areas. Every day around the world, more than thirty thousand children die from diseases which they could easily be treated. The average American lives into her or his later seventies. But in Bangladesh, average is sixty-three, while it’s fifty in Haiti, forty-tow in Afghanistan, and only thirty-four in Sierra Leone. (in Japanese, average is eighty-three.) Because many countries lack an effective health-care system, some preventable diseases still cause death. Cholera is one of those diseases. AIDS, has struck 40 million people- 28millions are who live in sub-Sahara Africa. In the U.S, people arguing about health insurance for every citizen, I wonder if they will continue that after reading this text.
