Write  some of the things you wanna talk about here

-How does human interaction affect in today's society?
With Covid and quarantine. Yes staying home is the most save way to protect yourself but also other people. If people were to interacted because...humans, government should be very strict with the rules about wearing masks and being clean.

-How is it connected to other basic human rights?
When teaching students, there should always be activities that involved working together and having some sort human interaction to help the student grow as a person but also working together for the greater good.
For technology/internet would be censorship. Having bans on certain social group or website that disconnect the people from interacting and sharing information, creating a sense of community.

-Why should we care about human interaction?
Yes, if you want to talk to people

-Should people care?
Yes, if they want to talk to people.

-How would human interaction be provided?
Say first amendment can be exercise.
Allow groups to be form with no intention of it being illegal
With isolation and depression, there should be more programs provided or stress out to the public saying if you need help as a person who is struggling with depression, or just suck at talking to people, there should be class and rehab that help with those people. Its not longer a waiting game, its time to seek them and kidnap them and help them.(its not bad, its just aggressive helping)

By Kent R. Kroeger (September 26, 2018)

"It has been the goal of Democrats since Franklin D. Roosevelt to create a universal health care system guaranteeing health care to all people," starts Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders' stump speech as he promotes his Medicare-4-All (M4A) legislation. "Every other major industrialized nation has done so."

He is correct. All major industrialized nations have either a straight single-payer system (Korea, Canada), a Beveridge Model single-payer system (UK, Sweden, Norway) or other type of universal coverage system (Germany, Australia, Spain). The U.S. stands along among industrialized countries in how it addresses health care.

But Sanders is wrong to suggest all Democrats share the goal of universal health care. In reality, the party has been, and remains, deeply divided on this issue. If the party were as united as Sanders suggests, they would have passed a single-payer system in 2008 instead of Obamacare which passed without any Republican support.

Why didn't the Democrats pass a single-payer system? Because vested interests in the current private, employer-based health care system - physicians, pharmaceutical companies, and insurance companies - are too powerful within the Democratic Party to allow passage of a single-payer system that would dramatically reduce doctors' incomes, virtually eliminate the private health insurance industry, and force U.S. pharmaceutical companies to face real price competition.

Any conversation about the U.S. health care system must start with this indisputable fact: Americans pay more and get less when compared to citizens in other industrialized countries.

According to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), health care expenditures account over 17 percent of the U.S. economy, compared to 10.1 percent for West European countries (see Figure 1).

Figure 1. Health Expenditures as a Percent of 2017 GDP

And the Republican retort goes something like this: Yes, we spend more, but we have the best doctors, hospitals and medical technology in the world. That comes with a price, well worth paying, say the Republicans.

However, the Republicans are faced with this inconvenient fact. Americans pay more for health care and, yet, on most health outcome measures under-perform compared to other industrialized countries.

As a share of the total economy, the U.S. spends almost twice as much on health care as Spain, South Korea, Australia, Norway, UK, Ireland, and Israel, but its citizens have a life expectancy five years lower than those countries (see Figure 2). Americans live as long as Turks (78.6 and 78.0 years, respectively). But Turkey devotes only 4 percent of their economy to health expenditures.

Figure 2. Health Expenditures Share of Economy and Life Expectancy

Another health outcome measure developed by the OECD is Potential Years of Life Lost. This metric summarizes premature mortality, such that, in countries where death rates for younger citizens are higher than a benchmark average, the assumption can reasonably be drawn that many of those deaths were preventable. Figure 3 plots national health expenditures by potential years of life lost. Again, the U.S. spends more on health care but experiences levels of preventable deaths on par with Colombia, Turkey and Costa Rica. America is not a health care system success story. The other stark finding from this metric is that too many Russians are dying at a far too young age (alcoholism).

Figure 3. Health Expenditures Share of Economy and Potential Years of Life Lost

The following statement my seem overly harsh, particularly if you have a doctor in the family, but there is only one conclusion that can be drawn from the health care outcome data: American doctors and hospitals deliver inferior care relative to their cost.

But establishment Democrats and Republicans continue to defend this sub-optimal health care delivery system and often fall back on the biggest canard of all: Single-payer systems expand the welfare state and crush economic growth and opportunity.

While it is an argument with a large, willing audience in the U.S., it is brutally inaccurate (see Figure 4). Don't let the U.S.'s current economic growth cloud your understanding of the longer-term trends. Yes, the U.S. has a strong economy, but our GDP per capital growth rate between 2000 and 2017 was comparable to Canada's (17.9 and 17.2 percent, respectively), and behind UK (19.9) and Germany (23.3 percent).

Figure 4. Health Expenditures Share of Economy and Economic Growth

But those countries with socialist health care systems are saddled with over-whelming debt, is the Republicans last plea for reason.

Well...again...No.

According to the International Monetary Fund, in terms of total gross government debt as a percent of GDP, the U.S. has one of the highest debt-to-GDP ratios in the world (108), exceeded only by Europe's economic basket cases like Greece (182), Italy (131) and Portugal (126). France's ratio is 97 percent and Canada's is 90 percent - not great, but debt levels both countries are capable of handling. The UK, with its single-payer National Health Service, has a debt-to-GDP ratio of 87 percent; and Germany carries one of the lowest debt ratios among the large, industrialized economies at 64 percent.

The poster child for socialized medicine - the U.K.'s National Health Service - is still routinely rated as one of the best in the world (see here, here, and here) and the country did not have to sink into a bottomless debt hole to build and maintain it.

So, all that background chatter against universal health care systems over and and dying on surgery wait lists is mostly bunk. Its an easy sell, particularly to American voters, but the on basis of the data, socialized medicine works remarkably well within otherwise capitalist, free market economies.

In fairness, there are genuine problems the U.S. would face if it tried to mimic a single-payer system such those in Canada and the UK. The vested interests enriched by the U.S. health care system are large and powerful - pharmaceutical companies, physicians, medical equipment manufacturers, insurance companies - and would all be adversely affected by the implementation of any form of universal health care, be it a single-payer system or a public-private hybrid (such as in Germany).

Dr. Deane Waldman, in an op-ed piece for TheHill.com, does an excellent job of laying out the standard argument against Medicare-4-All (and other single-payer concepts):

" Let's start with costs. The best estimate we have now is from Charles Blahous of Mercatus Center at George Mason University. He puts the price tag of single-payer healthcare at $32.6 trillion over ten years ... This would double what we spend annually on healthcare, more than $3.3 trillion in 2017.

To achieve the cost of "only" $32.6 trillion, Blahous calculated that the federal government would have to cut doctor reimbursements to 40 percent of private insurance payments, which are already negotiated down below usual and customary prices.

It's all about rationing. In single-payer systems, the government saves money not by more efficient administration, but by controlling both the budget and by limiting allowable treatments. In other words, they ration care by restricting allocations to facilities (resulting in too few operating rooms or burn units), reducing payment schedules (resulting in fewer physicians available to treat patients), and delaying or denying treatments that are very expensive."

Cost, rationing, and price/salary controls. Those are typically cited as the barriers to a U.S. universal health care system.

What if Bernie Sanders is elected president in 2020 and the Democrats hold majorities in both congressional chambers? What if, theoretically, he has the votes and the public support to implement M4A? What would stop him?

To change the American health care system, we need to understand what makes health care delivery so expensive; and, unfortunately, any system as complex as health care cannot be summarized by only three or four cost factors. Nonetheless, here are the most likely culprits:

High administrative costs (hospitals, health insurance companies). Administrative costs accounted for 25 percent of hospital spending in the United States in 2014, according to the Commonwealth Fund. This is more than twice the proportion seen in Canada.

U.S. physician incomes are much higher than in other industrialized countries. U.S. physicians are paid twice as much, on average, as physicians in other wealthy countries.

U.S. pharmaceutical companies not subjected to sufficient price competition. Drugs sold in the U.S. cost an average of 56 percent less in other high-income countries. Why? Reasons include: U.S. law prohibiting Medicare from negotiating prices directly with drug companies, drug companies gaming the system to block generic competition and keep drug prices up, and drug companies passing on the costs of research and development to American consumers.

Higher medical equipment costs.

Unnecessary care or care largely unrelated to life expectancy (Viagra).

Too much health care delivered to Americans through emergency room care.

We talk about the cost-effectiveness of preventative care, but I see too many cars parked at The Golden Corral and Olive Garden each weekend to believe Americans have taken that message to heart, literally. Americans are overweight and the social penalty is that expensive specialist-delivered health care is too frequently required near the end of life to compensate for bad lifestyle decisions in their 40s and 50s.

If health care reform doesn't address all of the cost factors in a comprehensive fashion, the cost of implementing M4A (or any other universal health care system) in the U.S. becomes too prohibitive. Simply interweaving another health care bureaucracy into the existing health care system, as was done with Obamacare, will fail.

Along with the cost factors that make re-designing the U.S. health care system difficult, politicians and their misplaced priorities are the biggest barrier to substantive reform.

Money is central to American politics. It requires $1 million to run a credible U.S. House campaign. The average winning U.S. Senate campaign in 2016 raised $10.4 million. And to run for president? Hillary Clinton raised $1.2 billion just to lose. In total, American politicians raised $6.5 billion in 2016. That may seem like a big number, but keep it in perspective: Americans spent $5.24 billion on pet grooming last year.

It is not the money that drives incumbent politicians to vote predominately in the interests of their corporate donors. The money is a reflection of a deeper association between politicians and corporate interests. In general, politicians, journalists, opinion leaders, academics, lobbyists, and business leaders go to the same colleges, live in the same neighborhoods, attend the same parties, use the same investment advisers and vacation on the same islands.

Of course, there are CEOs that graduated from places like The University of Nebraska (Warren Buffett) and Our Lady of the Lake University (Joe Gorder , CEO of Valero Energy). But when you view the complete list of universities attended by American CEOs, a small set of universities pop up consistently: Harvard, Stanford, Yale, Cornell, Columbia, Princeton, Univ. of Chicago, Dartmouth, Penn State, Notre Dame, Wisconsin, and the U.S. Military Academy.

The Top 10 list of universities attended by U.S. congressional members is similar: Harvard, Stanford, Yale, UCLA, Georgetown, Florida, Georgia, Wisconsin, North Carolina, Brigham Young (tie) and George Washington University (tie).

And journalism has its own diversity problem. The Atlantic's Andrew McGill sounded the 'elitist' alarm in journalism right after Donald Trump's 2016 election victory. "In 1960, nearly a third of reporters and editors had never attended a single year of college; in 2015, only 8.3 percent could say the same, according to Census figures extracted with the help of the University of Minnesota's IPUMS project," he wrote. "Media organizations have struggled for a long time with a habit of hiring identical people."

The politician-corporate-media nexus is a socio-cultural clique that isolates itself from the broader public, as it mirrors the increasing concentration of wealth in the U.S. In terms of economic and social mobility, the U.S. has more in common with Pakistan than Germany or Canada.

Figure 5. Countries Ranked by the Strength of the Tie Between Father and Son Earnings (2012)

Source: Stanford University Center on Poverty and Inequality

The concentration of wealth and power has had a demonstrable impact, not just on economic and social mobility, but on public policy.

In their 2014 landmark study of U.S. public policy and interest representation, political scientists Martin Gilens and Benjamin I. Page found that business interests dominate mass public interests in the formation of U.S. public policy for two reasons: (1) a physical proximity to power (Washington, D.C.), (2) and issue stance cohesion.

"The advantage of business-oriented groups in shaping policy outcomes reflects their numerical advantage within the interest-group universe in Washington, and also the infrequency with which business groups are found simultaneously on both sides of a proposed policy change," concluded Gilens and Page. "When the preferences of economic elites and the stands of organized interest groups are controlled for, the preferences of the average American appear to have only a minuscule, near-zero, statistically non-significant impact upon public policy."

Writing for The Atlantic in 2015, Lee Drutman documented how U.S. corporations since the 1960s have become much better at lobbying the government and how this has had a direct impact on the U.S. health care system. "As companies became more politically active and comfortable during the late 1980s and the 1990s, their lobbyists became more politically visionary. For example, pharmaceutical companies had long opposed the idea of government adding a prescription drug benefit to Medicare, on the theory that this would give government bargaining power through bulk purchasing, thereby reducing drug industry profits. But sometime around 2000, industry lobbyists dreamed up the bold idea of proposing and supporting what became Medicare Part D - a prescription drug benefit, but one which explicitly forbade bulk purchasing - an estimated $205 billion benefit to companies over a 10-year period."

That's real money and companies, as you would expect, are going to protect and enhance their economic interests any (legal) way they can, including financing the American political system. Unfortunately, when corporate interests control health care policy, the system becomes distorted as ours has become, to the point where 36 million American adults did not fill a prescription in 2016 because of the cost. You get a system where Americans spend twice as much on health care and get health outcomes measurably inferior to other industrialized countries.

Every election cycle, politicians and big money donors engage in an intricate mating dance where political donations are a focal, ritualized event, used by donors as much for virtue and status signaling as it is for affecting public policy, and used by politicians to signal their campaign's viability to donors and political opponents.

So, how will we ever see health care reform in the U.S. when even the political party most likely to initiate such reform - the Democrats - is led by politicians far too cozy with pharmaceutical companies, the insurance industry, and physician lobbyists?

New Jersey Senator Cory Booker, a likely 2020 presidential candidate, has already taken in $482,79 from Pharmaceuticals/Health Products-related individuals and PACs during the 2018 election cycle, which isn't quite as much as given by the Insurance industry ($513,580). Health Professionals have contributed$367,219 to go along with Hospitals/Nursing Homes-related individuals and PACs throwing in $240,780.

"Their money doesn't buy my vote," Booker tells audiences when he's challenged about his ties to big corporate donors. And I don't disagree with him, because, like most politicians, he was probably already aligned with those corporate interests before he took one dime from them.

Another likely contender for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination will be New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, once a favorite of the Clintons before her #MeToo betrayal of Bill Clinton, and no stranger to health industry campaign donations. In the current election cycle, she's already pocketed $363,195 from Health Professionals-related individuals and PACs, $343,948 from the insurance industry, and $231,529 from pharmaceuticals.

What makes Britain special that they can deliver superior health care to their citizens, on average, while devoting a much smaller share of their total economy to health spending, compared to the U.S.?

First, the UK jumped on the single-payer system idea much earlier (1948) when vested interests against the idea were weaker and the structural costs of converting to a public health care system where relatively low. For the U.S. to do something similar requires dismantling the health insurance industry and other economic interests that have grafted themselves onto the current private-based health care system. And then there is the sticky problem of re-aligning U.S. physician incomes to levels closer to their compatriots in other industrialized countries.

Second, the transition to a single-payer system comes down to priorities. The U.S. can't spend 50 percent of federal discretionary dollars on defense spending and also reform the health care system. How many U.S.-backed regime change wars have to fail before we realize there are better ways to spend our tax dollars? And you want free tuition at public universities too? Add to this inventory the future costs of climate change and an aging population and the prospect for substantive health care reform is rather dim.

An articulate, focused leader will need to set well-defined priorities and be able to sell them to the public, corporate interests, and the political class. It will mean choosing to do some things and not others, which will alienate the constituencies who want to get those 'other' things done first. I don't know if our political system is capable of this type of consensus-building anymore.

Yet, I continue to believe it is still possible for the U.S. to radically reform its under-performing health care system, but some sacred cows for certain will need to be slaughtered (not eaten, however. Its not good for your health.).

# data[].attributes.body
The biggest problem in America is health and safety. The covid outbreak is a example of two type of people. People who will be the first one dead in a survival and people who survive. Basic Human rights would be the protection of the people when a safety crisis is happening such as providing safety equipment like masks, hand sanitizer to all of their people.

Why should we care?

We should care because this type of crisis is causing the world to be on halt such as jobs, human interaction, the affect of financially supporting a family.

Why should others care?
They are a start to help fix the problem and not killing other people. Its a sense of awareness. They are also part of the basic human rights because they will also get benefited. that is why they should care.

Solution of reducing solitary confinement is instead of isolation people but instead put them in rehab as a solution to help a person but not fully fix. Solitary confinement is a unless loop that put the prisoner back in prison. Prisoners who are being released are not always fully recover due to the affect of Solitary confinement such as anxiety, stress, which in turns cause the people to keep making mistakes which put them right back in prison.

The why for the needs we need in life as a human.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
We hear the word "sustainability" and realize that it often means different things to different people. But when you strip away all of the niceties, and really get down to it, sustainability is simply long-term survival. To establish sustainability, we believe that there must be a radical change in the thinking of what is essential in society, and in the economic infrastructure within which society functions.

Early economies were based on these simple survival essentials. As societies developed, economies grew to be more complex. This article reflects a move back to the basics - focusing only on what we need for survival. It offers much food for thought, and puts needs in opposition to wants.

What do human beings need to physically survive? This list presents the five very basic physical items that people need to survive on this Earth. This list presents only the basic human needs to survive; people may need other items to grow, adapt and thrive.

Interest in basic human survival has surged since the productions of television shows like Man vs. Wild and Survivor Man. Even though they don't explicitly mention these five basic needs, Bear Grylls and Les Stroud spend each episode of their respective shows giving tips that expound on these to everyday people who may run into a survival situation while they brave the outdoors.

In order to best prepare yourself for the unpredictable, it is important to have a certain amount of knowledge regarding these factors. Each of these items represents fundamentals that have kept humans alive from the dawn of time to today. While each of these has changed and been adapted over the millions of years humans thrived, the principles remain the same.
1 > Oxygen
Oxygen is possibly our most basic human need. People can begin to experience brain damage after as few as five minutes without oxygen. There are several things that may prevent you from getting the oxygen you need. Environmental risks such as high amounts of smoke, high altitudes or carbon monoxide can prevent you from breathing in oxygen. Some medical issues may prevent your body from receiving oxygen like cardiac arrest, stroke, drowning and others.

Without a consistent supply of oxygen, you can experience a condition called cerebral hypoxia which affects our brains. After 15 minutes without oxygen, the brain damage can be so severe that most people will not recover.
2 > Water
Other than the air we breathe, water is the most essential component for human survival. It is estimated that a person cannot survive for more than 3-4 days without water.

In hot weather, it is recommended that the average person needs to consume two quarts of water a day to replace the amount lost due to sweating, respiration and excretion to maintain a balance of body fluids. In moderate climates, you may be able to get by on less. Some foods can also provide you with water, though you should avoid food and drink that could dehydrate you.

When the hydration balance is unable to be maintained the body will start to go through the dehydration process. A 2.5 percent loss in water volume in a person leads to a 25 percent reduction in blood volume. This means the blood gets thicker and the heart has to work harder to pump nutrients throughout the body. This lower blood volume also reduces flow to the extremities, leading to numbness in the fingers and toes. The thicker blood also has a harder time making its way through the small capillaries in the brain. The lack of oxygen to parts of the brain can make it impossible to concentrate or focus for any period of time.

The length of time one can survive without water depends on activity level and environmental temperature. Higher activity will invariably reduce life span, as will higher temperatures. With no water, the maximum length of time a person can survive is 10 days. Starting at 80 degrees Fahrenheit life expectancy is reduced to 9 days. With every five-degree increase in temperature, the life span decreases a day.
3 > Food
If you have a good water supply the next essential need is that of sustenance. A body that does not have food can survive for quite a long time by subsisting on the fat reserves in the body and, eventually, the glycogen reserves in the liver and the proteins in the muscles.

The first two to three days without food, the body will depend solely on the fat reserves to run the muscles of the body. Unfortunately, these fatty acids can't cross the blood-brain barrier. The brain relies on the glycogen reserves to send glucose to the brain.

After day three, the liver begins to synthesize ketones (short strand fatty acids) that can cross the blood-brain barrier. The ketone stage can last for up to two weeks. Once the fat reserves are used up, the body will begin breaking down the musculature into proteins that can be converted into amino acids that are then transformed into glucose. Muscles break down quickly, within one week. Once this process has completed there is no other internal source of energy and the body dies.

>Most individuals who experience starvation don't die directly from it. Most die due to infectious diseases that attack the body as it eats its own defenses. Signs of starvation include apathy, listlessness, withdrawal, changes in hair color, flaky skin, and massive edema in the abdomen and lower limbs, all of which lead to a higher chance of infection.
4 > Protection from the Elements
A shelter that helps to keep your body at a constant temperature is also a necessity. This could also include appropriate clothing. When a person is exposed to the elements, water loss is increased. Cold temperatures and high winds can strip away valuable moisture as quickly as high temperatures can cause sweat related loss. A shelter should consist of a place to make fire to create heat as well as protection from the wind and rain.

Without the ability to keep a constant temperature, a person runs the risk of hypothermia or heat stroke. A person's normal temperature in 98.7 degrees Fahrenheit. If the core temperature drops to 91.4, a body will go unconscious. At 86.0 degrees, the body loses the ability to control internal temperature. At 82.4 degrees, there is complete muscle failure.

On the other end of the spectrum, a temperature of 107.6 degrees results in a breakdown of the central nervous system. At slightly over 111 degrees, the brain overheats and causes death.

Extreme temperature fluctuations can cause hallucinations and illogical behavior, which can cause a person to fail to take the proper steps to keep himself alive.
5 > Sleep
For a long time sleep was not considered a basic human need. Studies on sleep deprivation helped to change this in the 20th century. In terms of human need, sleep is one of the five most important elements. Sleep deprivation can cause a myriad of problems ranging from decreased body temperature to cognitive impairment and hallucination.

Although the mechanisms of sleep are not well understood, the problems associated with lack of sleep are. Headaches can begin as soon as 24 hours after missing sleep. 72 hours in, memory is impaired and temporal and spatial distortion start to occur. After 96 hours without sleep, cognition is markedly impaired. After 144 hours, hallucinations ensue and there is a considerable loss of attention and manual dexterity.

The longer a person goes without sleep the less coherent thought patterns become. This lack of clear thinking can be detrimental on its own, if coupled with a lacking in any of the other basic needs areas it could be life threatening.

There are other things you could add to this list like sex, emotional connection, sense of belonging, etc. The difference is that although sex is needed for the species to survive an individual can live without it. Emotional connection and a sense of belonging are group needs, not individual survival needs. The truth is, there are only five basic needs; Clean Air, Water, Nutrients, Shelter and Sleep.

Beyond our health, the simple fact is that our entire society is based primarily on the existence and leveraging of these five factors. They are the basis for concepts like family, wealth, health and, at times, governments. Without air, water, food, sleep or shelter, none of us would see it past our first few days on Earth.

Five Basic Survival Needs of Human Beings

We hear the word "sustainability" and realize that it often means different things to different people. But when you strip away all of the niceties, and really get down to it, sustainability is simply long-term survival. To establish sustainability, we believe that there must be a radical change in the thinking of what is essential...

Bad for mental state but also unhealthy:
"including the development and worsening of cardiovascular disease, repeat heart attacks, autoimmune disorders, high blood pressure, cancer and slowed wound healing." (Provided by New York Times, studies by The Journal of Health and Social Behavior, Debra Umberson and Jennifer Karas Montez, sociology researchers at the University of Texas at Austin)

This would also violate the first amendment that everyone care so much about, to create social groups that involves communities forming and interacting with each other with the same interested whether its sharing it to the public or sharing it.
