Alzheimer's disease is the sixth leading cause of death in the
world, and the number of individuals living and caring for people
suffering from the disease is expected to rise sharply as elderly
populations rise throughout the world. Alzheimer's disease presents
both medical and social challenges that are expected to increase
exponentially, and the treatments for the disease will most likely
not improve until the manner in which drugs are developed is
changed. Currently, there has been minimal advancement in our
understanding of neurodegenerative diseases in the last 3 decades,
and this can be directly attributed to our lack of scientific
understanding, which will continue impede the medical preventions
and treatments for Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative
diseases. This scientific barrier will most likely result in health
care crisis on a level that has not been experienced before, which
will be compounded by the subsequent social and financial problems
as a result of it.
The popularity of anabolic steroids has risen since the 1980s, and
it will continue to rise well into the future because anabolic
steroids work. High-profile athletes and individuals in the
entertainment industry use them regularly because their effects are
so powerful, and increased masculinization is considered desirable
within society. The media's coverage of anabolic steroid use and
reactions by legislators has not benefitted society to the degree
that it could throughout the world. Alan Philowitz explores current
scientific information regarding anabolic steroids effects and
addiction. There is a place for anabolic steroids within society,
sports, and in medicine. Anabolic steroids have powerful effects
that can improve people's lives and society if used correctly, and
the media's reporting and legislation should reflect this.
Individuals have a right to use anabolic steroids and seek medical
treatment in organized societies to improve athletic performance,
physiques, and cognition in a responsible.
Cancer rates worldwide are projected to increase 75% by 2030, which
is frightening. This means cancer rates will nearly double over the
next two decades, and 1 in 3 Americans will be diagnosed with a
form of cancer before they turn 65. The majority of new cancer
incidences are in developing countries in which rates are estimated
to increase nearly 90% over the next two decades. Alan Philowitz
takes his readers on a journey in "The Cancer Epidemic" through the
history of cancer, treatments for it, and technology guiding its
research. The conclusion reached is quite startling. Although many
areas of science have contributed to the improvement of cancer
therapy, the best option for cancer patients is still surgery,
which has been used since antiquity to treat cancer. The cancer
epidemic will increasingly grow, and in many ways researchers and
oncologists are not ready to meet most cancer patients' treatment
needs.
Alan Philowitz takes his readers through the history of Saudi
Arabia, Islam, and the crude oil industry in "Saudi Arabia, Islam,
and Oil." Topics covered include discussion regarding the dynamics
of Saudi Arabia's history and oil wealth, and its application to
the development of the nation as being the most important country
in the Middle East and the most important member of the
Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries. The position of
Saudi Arabia as a nation is unique, but there are serious areas of
concern that must be addressed for it to have a future that
benefits its citizens, the region, and humanity. Islamic opposition
to all things Western and the fundamentalism that arises when
governments implement changes within nations in this region is a
concern for the entire world. The overreliance today in these
nations on oil exportation will have catastrophic effects for the
entire world if these problems are not immediately faced.
Online education has become the most prominent and important way to
deliver education throughout the world to the masses, and it is
assisting individuals in distinguishing themselves, aiding
governments in helping those underserved, and helping industries in
remain competitive global markets. Online education has had
explosive growth over the last two decades, and it has become clear
that there is a fundamental shift toward it by people improving
themselves through education, which has resulted in making the
educational market, both private and public, throughout the world
highly competitive. Individuals, governments, and corporations are
choosing online education options for general education, continuing
education, and training because it offers flexibility and cost
savings.
Alan Philowitz takes readers through the history of the United
States to present day issues facing the nation. The discussion that
follows presents social, political, and economic research and
opinions regarding these issues, and the unique challenges that
they present to the nation in consideration of our past and the
current state of globalization in the world. Western capitalism has
created hypercompetition within the United States, and it will
continue to force postsocialist states to adopt more capitalistic
policies. Capitalism is not perfect, and it has resulted in losses
by many. It, however, has given the United States and other Western
nations a political and economic advantage over the entire globe.
The Taiwan Miracle was a result of a number of educational and
economic forces that resulted in 3 decades of tremendous economic
prosperity. The semiconductor industry has acted as an economic
catalyst to bring development and modernity to Taiwan, but the
industry is shifting and has resulted uncertainties about the
future. Taiwan will have to reinvent itself through economic
forecasting and education to avoid a steady economic decline. The
semiconductor industry is saturated, and it is heavily reliant on
end market products, which are not necessities. Alan Philowitz
argues that Taiwan must reinvent itself by refocusing its national
financial initiatives towards the medical sciences sector, and
Taiwan must embrace international patenting to secure future
profits from innovative products developed to maintain a strong
financial position.
