1. Have you ever heard the term willful blindness? What do you think that it means? What could this mean in relation to health?
2. When it comes to health-related issues such as depression, child abuse, domestic violence, drug abuse, or disease, in what ways do people exercise willful blindness? Why would they want to?

3. Margaret Heffernan tells the story of a Montana town that had an 80 percent higher rate of disease than anywhere else in the country. If the people of this town had not been so willfully blind and had listened to Gayla Benefield, how might the health and lives of the people in this town have been different?

4. Why do you think that none of the medical professionals in the town of Libby, Montana, questioned the health issues that were plaguing their town?

5. Based on this video, how might you have reacted differently if you had been a member of the community in Libby, Montana?

6. When it comes to health-related issues or problems, how do you know when it is necessary to contact a medical professional? Are there exceptions to this?

7. Can you think of a situation in your life where you were willfully blind? If so, why do you think that you were willfully blind?

8. Do you believe the saying, “ignorance is bliss” to be true? What other stories that Margaret Heffernan tells in the video illustrate the saying “ignorance is bliss”?

Answers

Answer 1

Have i heard of it?  erm, No-

I think it means that they have no idea what's going on?

I am not sure to be honest..-

Well, If that had happened I beleave that they have no idea what their going through and they do other things to get their mind off of all the abuse ect.

It might of helped them because if they had listened to Gayla, they would not had many problems as they do when they didn't listen. The town might have had a better chance of making their living stiles better. their homes, lives, and how they get their foods.

They didn't question it because of the fact that it was normal in their home town. They didn't think anything about it.

Not sure to be honest. And what video?

If I had a medical problem I would contact a profecional immedietly incase it gets worse and it eventually kills me. and i dont know..-

Think of a siuation? When I didn't know I was getting mentally abused. I had no idea that it was happening to me.

"Ignorance is bliss"? I never heard of it but I do understand it, yes. And I am not completely sure.

I hope my answers help you! :)

Answers

Answer: In today's diet, we consume more fiber and less fat.

Explanation:

Even though one would think that we are eating more fat than fibre in the current age on account of the obesity levels that we currently have, the opposite is actually true. Humans are generally eating more fibre and less than the past.

This is down to better farming techniques that provide a wider variety of food than humans had available to them in the past and a lot of that variety includes food that are high in fiber.

Why is feedback an important aspect of the guidance adults provide to teens?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

It is important because, without feedback, the teens would not know if what they are doing is correct, wrong, needs improvement, should be done a different way, etc. An individual needs to know these things in order to adjust their behavior/techniques and improve. Otherwise, the individual continues repeating the same process over and over again and getting the same results, and if these results are bad they will never get better and progress in life. That is why it is extremely important that adults give feedback to teens.
