Assignment 6

If i had the money to help a program i would choose the primary prevention. Primary prevention is structured to make injuries less likely, it fosters conditions that reduce everyone's chance of injury, no matter what their circumstances. Honestly i think that if this prevention worked and everyone helped out with it the other two: Secondary and Tertiary wouldnt be needed. Because if everyone could avoid injuries then it would be much better around. Primary prevention would make everything twice as better. We would have brighter streetlights. headlights, and there would be more speed bumps and everything else to prevent injuries from happening. It would be a much safer world.

I agree that primary prevention would make the need for the other two groups a lot less likely, in all probability. Although, it is not a guarantee that every one would follow suit for primary prevention, in this day and age we would probably still need the other two groups, unfortunately.

You make some good points, but can primary prevention truly prevent maltreatment and abuse (the topic in which we were supposed to discuss)?

I agree with the first part of your argument, but I do not think that we could ever get to a point where Secondary and Tertiary are not needed. Even if we did all we could do...these things would still happen. We just have to do the best we can. And the best is never perfect.
