Unnatural Causes
Posted by Bao Vang on April 16th, 2008
There is a facsinating three part series that is being shown on TPT channel 17 at 9:00 p.m. called “Unnatural Causes: Is inequality making us sick?” This Thursday is the final part of the series. Last week’s show talked about the high diabetes rate in one of the Native American Indian tribes and the focus of the Lao community who live in Richmond, CA. What is facsinating about these shows is that I never really thought about how stress really affects each of our lives. Is racism so minute that we don’t see it until it adds up to years of stress on our bodies that then shortens our lifespan? This series is thought provoking. Let me know what you think about it.
