Control of the Cholera Pandemic
John Snow |
Name of Model: Control of Cholera Pandemic
Area of Use: Population and Migration
Person who developed model/theory: John Snow- 1813-1858. He was an English physician, and the father of epidemiology.
Premise: Dr. John Snow mapped out the Soho District and used symbols to mark people with cholera. He saw that people around the water pump were more infected with the disease, and so he made it impossible to get water from the pump which decreased the amount of cases of cholera. People started getting better; there weren’t as many cases of cholera.
Function: Dr. Snow used a “P” to mark the water pumps that people in the Soho District got their water from. He also marked each infected person that had cholera with a charted dot map.
Strengths: This showed how many people got cholera because of water.
Weaknesses: This isn’t accurate because not everyone would have said if they had cholera or not. So it wouldn’t be accurate.
Effectiveness in field in past and today: it was effective in the past, but is not used today.

    Historians have argued inconclusively for years over the prime reason for Confederate defeat in the Civil War. The book Why the North Won the Civil War outlines five of the most agreed upon causes of Southern defeat, each written by a highly esteemed American historian. The author of each essay does acknowledge and discuss the views of the other authors. However, each author also goes on to explain their botheration and disagreement with their opposition.

Each author gives his insight on one of the following five reasons: economic, military, diplomatic, social, and political, respectively.…

    This exhibit focused on the health of the nation and established rules for better sanitation. The book talks about improper public sanitation and private sanitation, such as in factories. This document promoted better health, leading to inspections and investigations. In this time in history, factories were being unsanitary, placing rats and other remains from around the factory, in the meat. This poster also reminds me of when women were starting to be empowered because they were the ones who taught and raised the children, so they began to gain a sense of control in their households. Also, during the war, more people died from diseases and bacteria, than from warfare. This poster, which was an establishment of better health, was vital to the survival of Americans so that they were able to learn ways to have better health.…

    Pandemic. Seems like a simple concept, doesn’t it? Just eight little letters. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) defines it as an epidemic that has spread over several countries or continents, usually affecting a large number of people. (Epidemic Disease Occurrence, 2012) However, something that seems fairly simple might not actually be. A pandemic is one of the scariest things to imagine. It is an outbreak of some sort of disease process infecting and killing thousands or even millions of people before a cure can be discovered. One of the deadliest pandemics, the Black Death, killed an estimated upwards of 50 million people back in the 1300s in Asia and Europe. (Benedictow, 2005) This sparks a good and interesting question. What would we…

The Plague were a group of people who Jason thought sullied the name of America (VSB). Because they are homeless and unnumbered, they are thought of as America’s mistakes.
