A new WHO Report is urging countries to provide health care design to meet the special needs of their citizens.In 2005, all 194 members of the World Health Organization set a goal of providing universal health coverage. B

38、ut very few countries have reached that target, most people must use their own financial resources to pay for the health care they need.Since health needs differ from one country to another, the new report urges every country to create its own system of health coverage. It says the services should i

39、nclude prevention, treatment, rehabilitation(康復) and reduction of pain, and the health care should involve communities, health centers and hospitals.Christopher Dye is head of the WHOs Office of Health Information. He says Every year around 150 million people in the world suffer disastrous health ex

42、ff in better health for their people.Saving money on health care is often a false kind of economy. If you save money on health care in the short term, you may end up spending more in the long term. So, cutting the cost of health budgets is not a sensible policy.Dr. Dye estimates that the cost of med

47、ital and labor markets in the form of immigration and the merger of cultures. Foreign resources and economic measures may impact different native cultures and may cause assimilation (同化) of a native people. Researchers are now studying the effects of economic globalization on the youth in various wo

48、rld populations such as Arab, South American, South East-Asian, Caribbean, and African populations. As these populations are exposed to the English language, computers, western music, and North American culture, changes are being noted in shrinking family size, immigration to larger cities, more cas

53、ts the process of McDonaldization working in all directions. Various countries export their own versions of McDonaldization but have the same influences in standardizing world culture.Global media news companies export information through news, radio, and internet. This creates a mostly one-way flow

54、 of information, and exposure of mostly western products and values. Companies like CNN, Reuters, and the BBC dominate the global airwaves while having a particular western point of view. Other media news companies such as Al Jazeera may offer a different point of view, but have a far smaller audience and thus effect fewer people in influence. 63.
