Anyone in pursuit of a more natural approach towards healthcare to cure their aliments will soon understand this, as the waves of criticism come from friends, family, and so called experts of medicine. To a certain degree these criticisms are not unfounded at least to a point of raising concern. It is an actual system of checks and balances within the western private healthcare system that these issues perpetuate and eliminate any chance of medical professionals in western society to publicly endorse any of the natural healing remedies.

Introduction and thing Language is a vital communication tool that can shape our thoughts, beliefs, and experiences. Language, according to Anzalda in "How to Tame a Wild Tongue," is a reflection of one's cultural background and identity, and as such, it can be used to assert and preserve cultural heritage, or it can be used to erode and oppress it. The authors of "How to Tame a Wild Tongue" and "The Bullet in the Brain" both use language to communicate their experiences and thoughts. They illustrate the themes of assimilation and self-destruction, as well as the impact of language on one's identity and experiences, through their use of language. Anzalda argues in "How to Tame a Wild Tongue" that ethnic and linguistic adaptations imposed on

Socialized medicine is a form of medical insurance that is available to all lawful citizens that the government covers. Throughout the United States 21.3% of the population receive benefits from the government due to their financial situation. Consequently, such benefits are not available for all citizens and may be difficult to qualify for. Moreover, Government-run programs are often cheaper, more administratively efficient, and even of superior quality than privately-run programs at the national level. If the United States began offering socialized medicine, there would be a slight rise in taxes in order to cover the 82 million dollars in costs.

A lot of surveys have been done over the years about the ethological aspect of these practices since they are sometimes considered holistic and unfounded since many healing practices are composed of rituals and sacred bundles used by shamans or witches. To a foreign audience, it might be at first disorienting and doubtful because medicine in our world is considered a science and revolves around collected data unlike religious practices. A survey made in 1994 states that “Many respondents indicated that they were unsure what traditional Native medicine entailed and thus had difficulty forming an opinion on whether it would be appropriate in various settings, especially in the hospital. In fact, 16% of the physicians indicated this directly, and another 14% left the question blank, when asked for their definition of traditional Native medicine (Table 2). Eighty-one percent believed that the use of traditional Native medicine was not an important issue in their community, although 41% knew of at least one patient in their practice using such medicines, and 15% knew of more than five patients using them.

Healthcare in the United States is in desperate need of reform. There are several rationales to further explain this proposition. As an illustration, the Declaration of Independence states our unalienable rights: life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. In other words, every individual should be entitled to healthcare as it preserves life and promotes the general welfare. The federal government should, therefore, enact a program of universal health to better protect and serve all of its citizens.

Globalizing is the development of people, ideas and goods spreading throughout the world, encouraging more interaction and assimilation between the world's cultures, governments and economies. And the economic idea motivating globalization is that the United States and the world gain when goods and services are created in the country that can offer the greatest quality at the lowest price.
