Medicalization:

  • The article seemed to jump from one topic to another. It started off with mental health, then to drug companies, to HIV/AIDS I feel that they were all over the place.
  • The viewpoint seemed neutral all the topics written about was at a neutral standing point. I feel that they jumped around too many topic to go into detail.
  • Many of the sources used are books
  • Most of the sources used are from the earlier to mid 2000's
  • On the talk page it is stated that the article needs to be updated. As well as that a Sociology expert should review the article.
  • The rating are low for this article.
  • We haven't gone into this topic in class yet.

Bubonic Plague

edit

The article states that there are three types of the plague, which are bubonic plague, septicemic plague, and pneumonic plague. I would like to add in the article the differences between each type of the plague. The differences in the cause, symptoms, and treatments. I would also like to see if the other plagues have anything in common with the bubonic plague.

I would like to research and see if there has been any recent diagnosis of the plague.
