A Little Bit About Our Topic
Medicine is constantly changing, evolving, and growing. What once started as a mostly spiritual practice has transformed into a completely different and much more scientific area that often clashes with religion. As medicine changes there are always multiple arguments pertaining to the new developments. Whenever politics are involved, the conflicts are magnified and pull in many other factors such as religion, economics, and personal opinion. Developing conflicts create intricate conversations that are constantly adapting to historical progress. Our site includes pages that show conversations around alternative medicine, religious and political conflicts concerning medicine, medicine in history, and vaccination.

When it comes to alternative medicine, there are many different opinions. Some say that it is all a hoax created in order to make a profit, while others think it is better than conventional medicine because it is a more personal form of healing. Books, news articles, and pictures exist mostly to show the opinions of the writer or artist. Some examples of these sources can be found on our alternative medicine page.
Just as they do in many other issues, religious beliefs and values can become involved in medical situations as well. Since many faiths see the human body as sacred, it is only logical that they are concerned with how it is being treated with healthcare. Many believe that religion and medicine must be kept separate, or that one should be respected more than the other, but some see the value in both. Our page includes religious documents, articles, pictures, and various conversations that have occurred regarding religion and medicine.
As both medicine and politics progress and grow they become more and more intertwined and conversation becomes more and more complex. With new advancements in controversial areas such as stem cells, vaccinations, and abortion, legislature is an almost vital part of the medical community to protect the people being cared for. Now more than ever people are vocalizing their opinions on different medical areas through their local leaders. This is causing a very difficult conversation to grow and change very rapidly. Our Politics sub-page acknowledges the relationship between politics and medicine through pictures and quotes.
Medical information that was originally discovered concerning illness and injury has been both disproved and enforced as new medical data is uncovered. Historically, medical developments are fought against or argued and the support or objection of these developments is noted and acknowledged in our page on medicine in history. As medicine progresses the hope is that the average quality of life would be able to progress as well. There are examples of common past medical treatments as well as the speed and effectiveness of medical development on our history page.
One of the largest and ongoing conversations in medicine is vaccinations and whether or not they are safe. Some studies in the past have said that vaccines cause autism and other ailments, but since then, many of these studies have been debunked. The debate still continues though, because many concerned parents are still hesitant to vaccinate their children for fear of possible side effects. Our Vaccination sub-page contains documentaries, quotes, and pictures concerning vaccination and all of the controversy surrounding their use.
