Talk - Act

Under this heading, we can share our ideas and concrete suggestions for action. Numbering them can help in having an ongoing dialog on any issue-current or past. By way of example:

1 In your community, are you  familiar with any popular, constructive, non-partisan efforts to solve local or national issues?

2 Do you know the names of some objective, capable journalists in your area?

3 What is the cause of unemployment in your community?

4 How can we find out if young people have sufficient opportunity to express and share their concerns or opinions? 

5 Why is there a such a high incidence of sexual assault on college campuses? 

6 5% of world population American; 25% of world prison population American.Why?

.....Let us continue this Q&A or dialog. Please add more to the list.

As health care professionals, we have some specific issues in mind. Before we write about it, a brief note about one parallel thought.

Of course, we face many challenges but this big country of ours has such a diversity of talent! Apart from participating in an ongoing debate related to the "Talk - Act" described above, how if                  people would also write or suggest something from their life and work experience? Obviously, direct input of citizens does promote a participatory democracy. It can certainly go a long way in solving our local or national issues.

As for us, in view of our background, we plan to make a survey of people's experience of dealing with health personnel and variety of health facilities. By listening to the patients, the families and the public, everyone benefits. Please see:

As health care professionals, we plan to make informal surveys of people's experience of health care providers--personally and online. Listening patiently to the patients, their families and the public at large can help everyone.

We all know that the health care issue is a major challenge not only for America but the whole world. But then, there are many other challenges as well. Luckily here in America, we have experts in every field. How if everyone shared his or her experience or expertise through this forum? Obviously, direct input of citizens promotes a participatory democracy which goes a long way in helping solve our local or national issues.

Talk-Act Forum

Under this heading, we can share philosophical as well as practical ideas. Let us hope that ultimately these efforts lead to some concrete actions. Isn't it time that for society's ills, we start devising more curative measures, rather than taking credit for stoop-gap symptomatic relief?  

To start the ball rolling, here are some issues for our "think-tank":

1 In your community, are you  familiar with any popular, constructive, non-partisan efforts to solve local or national issues?

2 Do you know the names of some objective, capable journalists in your area?

3 What are the causes of unemployment in your community?

4 How do we ask the youth if they are satisfied the way they can share or express their concerns or opinions on matters that are personal or general? 

5 Why is there a such a high incidence of sexual assault on college campuses? 

6 In terms of the world, the American population is 5% but its global share of the prison population is 25 %. Why?

.....Let us continue this Q&A or dialog. Please add more to the list.
