So, what now? Boycott Shoppers Drug Mart to make a public statement? Although maybe they do make a point about trying to fulfil their domestic mission.

This image got a lot of publicity, and won a Pulitzer Prize. It put Sudan on the map, as far as the regular public goes. Effecitve? Too drastic? Post thoughts below.

In a totally different vein, Oxfam’s video “The Luckiest Nut in the World” talks about how the Structural Adjustment Programs affected developing countries. It’s pretty much an advocacy video, and very well done. Thoughts? Does this constitute effective media-spread-awareness?

How would you compare the image to the video? Would you take into account different circumstances? Which one is more effective and why?

I think an excellent point was the effect of climate change on health care. It’s not something we discussed in class, but it is definitely something that is becoming more and more important.

If droughts are going to increase in the coming years, what immediate actions do we need to take to ensure basic needs such as food, water or healthcare. How does this change the role of organisations like the UN vs. organisations like MSF?
