The Bridge Between Eras: How Haydn’s Creation Oratorio Displays both Enlightened and Romantic Qualities
Get PDFThe English Enlightenment was an all encompassing ideology, affecting many different fields such as science, religion, and the arts. Focus on supernatural stories and divine miracles gave way to rational thought, furthering science and promoting stories about the triumphs of humanity. Music was likewise affected by this new movement, catering itself to the interests of society; instead of depicting humanity as sinful and ignorant, compositions centered on the glory of creation and the strength and intellect of humanity. Haydn’s Creation Oratorio is a prime example of Enlightenment values, depicting the creation story as a triumph of both God and man together. However, because Haydn’s career was at the end of the Enlightenment era, his compositions often reflect elements of Romanticism. The Creation, while primarily an Enlightened work, has notions of Romantic era compositional techniques, reflecting its place in time and compositional ingenuity

Uganda: Malaria
Get PDFMalaria is an infectious disease caused by mosquito bite. It is a major health problem in Uganda and is a major cause of mortality and morbidity. Pregnant women and children are the most infected groups in the country. The Ugandan government did their best to keep children and women healthy by providing clinics near the villages and advocating home treatment for malaria. Although, the government is very supportive in preventing and promoting the malaria, people did not seek healthcare as much as they should. The reason for not seeking healthcare was because they feel healthy, or the clinic had long waiting hours and was a great distance from home to the hospital. Malaria is preventable and it is best to seek out the health provider as soon as possible after the mosquito bite to get a diagnostic test. Also, mosquito net, and vaccination can help prevent the disease. My solution for the Ugandan people is to live in clean environment, with mosquito nets to keep mosquitoes out at night and improve communication between doctor and patient. It is important to have good communication skills because when the doctor pays attention to the patient, shows empathy to them, and the explains necessity and benefits and procedures, the patient will be more likely to come back to the hospital
