    Vaccines Do Not Cause Autism Article Critique

    The article written by K.K. Hayworth (2011) titled Vaccines Do Not Cause Autism suggest there has not been conclusive evidence of the Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (MMR) vaccine increasing the chances of autism in those who are vaccinated. There is enough evidence to support the claim that vaccines are a possible factor in the rise of diagnoses of autism. I believe more research needs to be done before dismissing the theory. It is my opinion that the increase of autism diagnosis is due to the rise in awareness and the push for early intervention.…

    Banker to the Poor Book Review

    The book “Banker to the Poor” by Muhammad Yunus is the story of the Grameen Bank Program, which is founded in Bangladesh by Yunus to help the poor. Born in 1940 in the city of Chittagong, Professor Yunus studied at Dhaka University in Bangladesh, and then received a Fulbright scholarship to study economics at Vanderbilt University. He received his Ph.D. in economics from Vanderbilt in 1969 and the following year became an assistant professor of economics at Middle Tennessee State University. Returning to Bangladesh, Yunus became the head of the economics department at Chittagong University. Yunus founded the Grameen Bank in Bangladesh in 1983 with the hopes of helping poor people escape from poverty by providing them loans which no other bank would. With Grameen Bank, he pioneered microcredit and has created a new dimension for capitalism which he calls “Social Business”. (Yunus, Yunus Center, 2011) (Biography.com)…
