Does part of the problem dwell upon the resources that their government has?
=Can disease be based on region and not race?=

Does race predict disease?
//can you make it clear where this link will take me by being more descriptive?//

It is said that diseases are found in certain races because of the region and not because of the color of that civilizations skin. For example, some people would as if Sickle Cell Disease is a disease that only African Americans get and the truth is that it isn't. (map visually explaining disease and how it is closely linked with a specific region) Sickle Cell Disease effects the red blood cells that carry oxygen.Sickled red blood cells block the body's normal body flow by getting caught in the body's small blood vessels. This causes damage to the tissues in the lung and it also causes severe pain.

Tay-Sachs Disease
TSD Tay-Sachs Disease is a disease the is mostly found in the eastern european jewish population but, this is not exclusivly a jewish disease. Tay-Sachs Disease is an autosexual recessive genetic gene where both parents are carriers, therefor giving their child a 25% chance of having Tay-Sachs Disease. when harmful amounts of gangliosides accumulate in the nerve cells in the brain. once they accumulate into the brain they lead to the premature death of the nerve cells. There is no cure for Tay-Sachs Disease.

=Could disease in other countries be prevented if they had the correct resources?=

Race against disease
In an article it talks about families that were in the cyclone now have malaria, cholera, or dengue. Other symptoms of disease have shown such as diarrhea and skin problems. They health officials have further fears that there are waterborne illnesses because of the lack of sanitized water. they also fear the malaria and dengue fever will strike if mosquitoes come around.

If a cyclone hit the United States would we be as helpless as this civilization? I believe not because we have resources and the tools that we need to protect our selves. but, what of other countries such as this one where

=Or is disease only based upon race?=

Genetics and Race
In this article it states that there were many tests dont on prostate cancer and a decendent from Tobago, which has a rate of prostate cancer that is four time higher than the white Americans and possibly twice as high as African Americans. They were checking men between the ages of 40 and 79. The researcher believed that African American males have a genetic mutation that help them produce the hormone testosterone which resolves in the strenght of bones and the increase in a virus called human herpesvirus 8 which also increases the risk of having prostate cancer.

=What is disease based on?=

Race: Prostate Cancer
I believe that race is based on the region that we are born in and i believe that race is based on the way that a certain race's body is made. I believe this because in my cases above it shows that certain disease are only found in a general region and in that region there is one specific race. But, also there is information above that states that they looked around the same region and didn't find the same results in the other race's bodies that they found in the African American body percentage of the region.

And can it be prevented in the regions/races that are suffering if they had the right resources?
I believe that if other people stepped up to become leaders and took on the idea of sending help to the other regions/ races then the diseases caused by hurricanes and floods could be properly cared for so that no one would suffer as much as the children and families in Bangkok did. - AnnBibjones - back to carace
