Document Summary

Homer: before 500 b. c. ed or ruptured. Important in war because he makes warriors go back to war self-sustaining: recognized as an important person but does not belong to aristocracy (highest sta- tus in society, people who own land, doesn"t speak of specific diseases. In reality people had diseases but we do not know about them from homer. This shows that surgery is an ancient practice: at this time, physicians were employed by the city-state and received at salary. Physicians would pick the place where they were offered the most money: doctors of southern sicily had a high reputation because of democedes, darius dislocated his ankle. Note we are not dealing with an wound that is inflicted by a weapon: king of persia gets the best physicians from all over the world - doctors are interna- tional. Egyptian medicine was highly renowned because egyptian women knew a lot about pharmika.

1. If you had an infant born with ambiguous genitalia, would you opt for surgery? Inhibit the onset of puberty with drugs? What gender would you raise the child? If surgery were chosen, when the child was old enough, would you inform him or her about this treatment? Or would you not choose surgery and instead leave the decision to the individual at a later time?

2. Though the wider U.S. population has adopted the practice of male circumcision, public awareness and oppo- sition to circumcision have grown from those who under- score the pain, bleeding, and risk of infection to newborns. A growing number of people argue that circumcision vio- lates a babyâs human right because an infant canât consent and that itâs akin to genital mutilation. Controversy has also surrounded a wave of state Medicaid programs that have stopped paying for newborn circumcision, which costs roughly $150 to $200. While the evidence continues to build on behalf of circumcision, so does the debate that surrounds this decision.

Given the evidence about circumcision, would you have your son circumcised? Why or why not?

Please answer question 1 and 2

Please describe the scenario you have come up with, and answer the following question:

Which of the components of the communication process are the most important in your scenario, and which best practices of public speaking will you use to assist you in delivering your message?
