Structural Violence BAD

Structural violence plays a major role in the spread of STIs. Economic status is only one of the more prominent problems. Poverty is a huge global killer. The hardship of having little money also affects the availability of treatment. The Tuskegee Study is a prime example of structural violence. The study used African Americans that were at a disadvantage due to lack of education and money. All around the globe there are communities that do not have enough money to fund treatment or education of STIs. Here in the US it is easy for me to dismiss the problem of STIs. The presence of an STI breakout is not as prevalent and publically shown. If I was surrounded by the environment of a poor community in Africa then of course of perspective would be different.
No boday really feels sincere about an issue untill they see the evidence with their own eyes. Trying to eliminate structural violence will be an almost impossible feat. But it isn't uncommon for a person to think that 'society' should be something that benefits everyone. STIs are spreading and structural violence is not helping to mitigate it, but to increase it. It is time to think outside the box!
