harm. one of the most disturbing side effects of modern life is the speed with which desease can spread around the globe. decades ago it was much less likey that an outbreak of infectious desease occuring on one contenet could cross ocean to another. intercontinenta air travel now makes it possible for deseases to arrive in othert continets before signs of the original outbreak has been recognized. the world health assembly attributes the problem of new and emergning deseases to the following modern trends: with the increaseing global population many are forced to live under conditions of overcrouding, inadequate housing, and poor heigene;...
