Ebola Virus Analysis

Humans were the greatest species on Earth. Our abilities to adapt, fight and survive well instilled into us. We were the apex of the food chain. Unfortunately, throughout the ages, our survival instincts have deteriorated, due to our attempts to create safer physical and social spaces. Paternalistic governments and our use of science and technology are undermining the human capacity to survive. We, the humankind, has invented numerous of remarkable technologies, but these creations have come back to haunt us. We have become so dependent on technology that we would struggle to live without it. One example was the Northeast United State blackout in 2003. The outage lasted for two days. In those two days, many households did not have clean water
As our knowledge of medical science expands, the pathogens that we are trying to fight are also evolving. By consuming these ‘life-saving’ drugs, we also help these pathogens to evolve. They have adapted to the medicines that we consume, and their medication resisting ability drastically improved. Consequently, we have a virus such as Ebola that directly attacks the immune systems. This virus has an average of 50% fatality rate. As of 13 January 2016, reportedly 11,315 has died from Ebola. Moreover, we also have many contagious antibiotics resistant bacteria such as Clostridium difficile, shortened to C. diff, a deadly bacterium that multiplies when an antibiotic used which kills off beneficial bacteria that reside in its traditional habitat, the gut. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in America has estimated that there are 15,000 deaths due to this disease. The cures for diseases we have created do benefit us for a short-term, but for long-term, these treatments can cause catastrophic
The citizens are fragile and defenceless. Without the government, the people are extremely vulnerable. While the armed forces trained to fight unarmed against a knife wielding attacker, ordinary civilians do not have the same ability as they are untrained. Consequently, stabbings occurred many places around the world. Places such as Hamburg, Germany, one of many major targets for ISIS, where a young couple attacked by an Islamic State soldier. The 16 years old boy was stabbed continuously while the 15 years old girl was pushed into the water and luckily escape. Even in Southport, where we are currently living, a man charged with attempted murder. The victim of this attack stabbed to a critical condition fortunate enough to be alive. Additionally, civilians were also portrayed as weak and helpless in “Tomorrow When the War Began”, a book written by John Marsden in 1993. In this storyline, notwithstanding their struggle, the Australian government, and its defence force are not able to defend themselves against their aggressor. None of her allies came to her aid and subsequently, Australia falls. Unlike the group of young rebels who in the middle of nowhere when the attack occurs, their parents and other members of the public discover and are oppressed by the opposing force. They must be obedient, or they will die, as demonstrated by the execution of a man who decided to voice his opinion
