My view on what Katz’s had to say is a little bit confusing, however, I seem to slightly understand what he’s saying. I would say that the book The Silent World of the Doctor and Patient that it’s dated and not at the same time. In today's, some people have great relationships with their doctors and some don’t. I think it depends on the individual and how much of a people person they are which goes for both patients and doctor. For example, I used to go to therapy when I was younger. It would take
In his book The Silent World of Doctor and Patient, author Jay Katz describes the history of how physicians view the patient’s role in medical decision making. Particularly, within chapter one, “Physicians and Patients: A History of Silence,” Katz sheds light on the relationship between physicians and their patients and the scope of the physician’s authority. One passage that illuminates this relationship in a positive way is the section on ancient medicine. At one point Katz states that: Physicians

due to the use of dangerous pesticides such as DDT, chlordane, and heptachlor. Though several scientists conducted studies that proved the issues with pesticides, the first person to make a lasting impression on America was Rachel Carson, author of Silent Spring.

Millennials. We grew up in a technologically savvy world and have a high demand for instant gratification. More specifically, we grew up in the South, which typically lends itself to being more conservative, based on a stricter religious upbringing.

This is much like the Lost/Silent Generation, who tended to do things that were commonly illegal such as drug trading and alcohol though they were banned. Both generations made excuses, as represented in The Great Gatsby when Jay Gatsby continuously lies about his whereabouts and doings. Furthermore, the Lost/Silent Generation, as portrayed by the West Egg partying, was probably very irresponsible because they did not have

Introduction Many elementary schools promote sustained silent reading time. In sustained silent reading, students read silently for a designated time period every day in school. It will usually last for about 20-30 minutes. They select their own reading material and are not asked to answer comprehension questions or write book reports. Sustained Silent Reading is based on the theory that the more a student reads, the better the student will comprehend what they are reading. This will lead to
