An exchange student is a student that leaves his/her country for a foreign one for a year, where she/he usually learns a new language and experiences a new culture. Nowadays, there are more than 35 international exchange programs from which very many high school students benefit. For instance, each year, almost 13000 students travel on American Field Service Intercultural Programs between 65 countries (AFS, 2011). Unfortunately, the number of students who go on exchange is still relatively low,
However, once I got to high school I pushed that thought out of my head because of the exchange student program. The program allows students from all over the world to spend a year in America and experience our culture. Meeting these students year after year, I never really thought other cultures were extremely different. Most of the students played the same
people thinks, acts and feels. Today, there are many programs that are established to help drug users and prevent the spread of diseases. Needle exchange program (NEPs) is one of the programs, which has goal to reduce harm to drug users and innocent people. Moreover, implementing of needle exchange programs has become an argument because it cannot help drug users but instead it encourages them to use more drugs. In fact, needle exchange programs are ineffective at reducing the spread of human immunodeficiency
Currently needle and syringe exchange programs are not federally funded or supported in the United States, even though the support is growing. Generally speaking, the implementation of such programs is difficult based on the social rejection of the people the services would benefit, and the legal funding restrictions. Nevertheless, the National Institute of Health identified six characteristics of successful syringe exchange programs implementation (Downing et.al 2014). First off, the debate needs
Project discussed: Syringe exchange program. Comparative analysis Syringe exchange program (SEP) is a very interesting project to discuss. The presentation collected information and data from multiple reports, containing many sources that show carefully integrated SEP policy and how this policy can improve the health system. It can decrease HIV/AIDS and hepatitis C incident rates or/and prevalence. Similar data was found in the National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and
side of this is that the Internet can be used to transmit illegal information more easily. KaZaA is an Australian company that offers a means for internet users all over the world to exchange files of all types, with one another. Many users have been using KaZaA as a means to exchange music, movie, and program files, which is illegal based on the laws of many nations. The recording industry of the United States claims that they are losing money, as many users are using KaZaA to distribute music
The main purpose of needle exchange programs are based on that idea that access to sterile needles will significantly reduce needle sharing and will in turn reduce HIV transmission. It is also believed that implementing needle exchange programs will allow more opportunities for other forms of HIV prevention education to come about and increase people’s access to HIV treatment services. These exchange programs have opened up plenty of things that work to help reduce the spreading HIV such as the use
Harm reduction strategies such as needle exchange programs (NEPs) are purposeful and play an important role in the current opioid epidemic. NEPs provides injection drug users (IDUs) with sterile needles and injection equipment in exchange for their used needles. Also they successfully discard used equipment, decreasing the risk of needlestick injuries in public places. NEPs addresses their health concern for IDUs. Injection drug users put their health at risk when they partake in sharing needles
parties and less parental supervision. I quickly decided that instead of going straight to college, I would take a year off and participate in an exchange program. I’m part Italian, and I’ve always had a desire to trace my roots and to experience Italy and “la dolce vita” or “the sweet life.” When I signed the papers to go to Italy for the exchange program, I pictured myself lying in a hammock on a beach, surrounded by three... ... middle of paper ... ...unfair when I left, suddenly became people
than that I made the conscious decision to take part in the Student Exchange program my university (University of Ontario Institute of Technology) offered, I always wanted to go on exchange and was inspired by a friend of mine Toyin Oyatogun who seemed to have had a great time from her study abroad. I started the process which I must say was extremely tasking and stressful. I had very limited options mainly because of my program (communications), I had to choose from Nanyang Technological University
their physiological needs through knowledge and good skills (Wenniljoy, 2012). Hence, the reason why group of nursing students from the Kent State University at Salem deem it fit to travel to Toronto, Canada on January 21, 2014, for a cultural exchange program; where they can acquire more cultural diversity knowledge and relationship skills towards role transition and delivering of healthcare, and during this great impact programme, at the ‘what students had to say segment’, Haeli Todd said “This trip
Needle exchange programs are a type of harm reduction initiative used in different parts of the world to combat HIV transmission. These programs provide injection drug users (IDUs) with clean needles and syringes (AVERT, 2015). These programs are run by pharmacies or other drug services, and can be either fixed or mobile sites (CDC, 2010). Besides aiming to reduce the transmission of HIV, these programs also provide advice on safe drug injection, how to minimize harm by drugs and overdose, how to
Needle Exchange Program Needle exchange program (NEP) is a project where injectable drug users could exchange their used needles for sterile injection equipment. This ultimately reduces the reuse of HIV contaminated injection equipment among this population (Delgado, 2004). Introduction The prevalence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) among drug users has been a long concern. When the drug users share needles that are contaminated with HIV it increase the likelihood of that person being infected
Although needle exchange programs have been successful, they have had some criticism. One of the main goals in the needle exchange program is to prevent or to reduce the rate of transmission of any infectious diseases, such as the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or hepatitis C by distributing sterile syringes. The intended group that this program is trying to focus on is injecting drug users, since they have a high rate of either repeatedly using a contaminated syringe or sharing the same syringe
Target Population • Population: Inmates in Canadian Federal Prisons (incarceration for at least two years) who are IV drug users and currently lack access to sterile injection equipment. • These individuals are at a higher risk for HIV infection and transmission than the general population despite incarceration in part due to the lack of sterile injecting equipment Concern Prompting Health Advocacy Initiative • A part of Corrections and Conditional Release Act (CCRA) mandates that imprisoned persons
The initial issue was that exchange students are unable to communicate with professors and classmates in a classroom environment. Exchange students are foreign students from other country that are attending an academy at a different country. Imagine yourself in an exchange student’s shoes. How frustrating it would be if you could not communicate with your classmates, understand the lessons in class or even ask questions in class. This was a major issue in most exchange academies in Europe because
over the new immigration rules and regulations is what gave Halela his first deportation scare. With stricter visas guidelines, the culmination of new policies the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) have undertaken is the Student Exchange Visitor Information System, or SEVIS. Now, new international students can choose to study at any one of the over 7,000 SEVIS-certified universities in America. The schools, in turn, provide a
academic skills, learn more about other cultures, and after all more about yourself. International education has many advantages and it doesn’t have to be expensive. There are many organizations, like the Netherlands America Commission for Educational Exchange (NACEE), that can help you with your finance and other necessary paperwork. And maybe your university is connected to an American university that offers scholarships for international students. The ways to get there are endless, but the decision
In recent years, a growing number of parents may send their children to study abroad. The university of Cambridge had nearly 1,000 Chinese students, who study in undergraduate and postgraduate degrees in engineering, sciences, mathematics, international relations, economics and finance, and administration (BBC news, 2011). These parents believe that their children may become more autonomous, because their children have to look after themselves and manage their finance (Topuniversities, 2014). However
York St John University is committed to the concept of internationalisation in higher education. How would I use my study abroad in the UK to contribute to the positive effects of internationalisation? The issue of internationalisation has been the subject of a fierce debate in higher education throughout the last decades. Attending universities in the UK has traditionally been the main route for international students to acquire foreign degrees so there is no doubt that internationalisation
