NURSING AND EDUCATION PLATFORM

This issue is extremely relevant, but little discussed- perhaps because it is so sensitive an issue?

Just heard of a children's orphanage overseas, visited by  a friend of mine.No government funding or support in that country, by the wealthy government- of the same race as the children and workers (unpaid) at the orphanage. Many of the children still sleep on the streets but go to the orphanage during the day.

The need for such care is an embarrassment in many countries (recall Brazil and the street children), to whatever government. With the aim for neoliberalism ie all responsible for themselves etc, this could well occur in other countries (UK). Hence governments will not be responsible for health and social care.

Further, when people come to countries such as UK/ USA, of course they will have different attitudes- when the aim in their country is survival. many old people do accept care as it is, because they recall the workhouses for example (Reference). Hence the attitude, of some, at least we or they, have  a bed and  a meal--.

More points re this topic are welcome. It needs exploring.
