CRITICAL READING MODULE

ANSWER QUESTIONS 1 AND 2 ACCORDING TO THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION

Colombian popular medicine preserves a wide series of empirical knowledge about a great diversity of botanical resources, which have been essential for health care. But, with the officialization of medicine at the end of the 19th century, the creation of the first schools of medicine and pharmacy and the creation of legislation that sought to regulate these disciplines, much of this knowledge was rejected as were their medical practices. Paradoxically, while official medicine denied popular knowledge, it used it to develop many of the pharmaceutical advances that official medicine uses for its treatments. On the other hand, according to the World Health Organization, primary health care from official medicine covers only 20% of the population in developing countries, while 80%

It has to resort to other popular medical practices and it does so largely due to the poor guarantee of access and insurance for the poor population. The above continues to generate disagreement among those who practice official medicine because they consider that popular medicine does not represent valid knowledge because it is not based on scientific evidence and is not regulated. However, both medicines can become complementary if they are studied judiciously and it is determined which of the practices and botanical resources used by popular medicine are harmful and which provide health alternatives to populations in need. In this way, inclusion, recognition and respect for cultural diversity and popular knowledge are also promoted.

Taken and adapted from: Prieto Gaona, Oriana. (2011). Research project on popular medicine.

1. According to the text, for primary health care, by official medicine, to be able to serve more than 20% of the population, it would be necessary mainly

A. promote adequate and equitable financing systems that channel the necessary resources to achieve better quality care with greater coverage.

1. anticipate the demographic aging of the population, changing family structures, and informal labor markets.
2. respect the right to health services, respect for cultural differences and the principles of equality and non-discrimination.
3. create an information system, with a Human Rights approach, that allows evaluating progress in health.

The promotion of academic studies to determine which of the practices used by the 2.

popular medicine are harmful and which ones provide health alternatives implies that

1. the discontent of those who practice official medicine is prolonged.
2. official regulation processes regarding this type of practices are initiated.
3. the law that scientific medicine is the only official medicine is repealed.
4. the gap between chemical medicine and botanical medicine widens.

DEFENSE OF THE BRAVA FESTIVAL

Jorge Nacif

The bull festival is one of the oldest spectacles of humanity, its first antecedents date back to ancient Greece. Since then, this game had many detractors. Those who are against the festival argue that the bull is “tortured” with the banderillas, and of course, that the bull is killed in the ring.
