Evidence is increasingly showing that people belonging to minority communities particularly receive less quality health care. Contrary to popular belief however, the low quality of health care among minority communities is not simply attributable to their economic status but can be attributed to an aggregate of several factors. Efforts aimed at eliminating these disparities should be focused on understanding cultural contexts ...

Introduction

The fact that literary works are aimed at mirroring the reality of the human society whether local or global means that there will be a point of convergence among them. The mirroring of the reality of the human society is informed by the need to facilitate and sustain debates that will lead to the finding of solutions to better human society and life. The converse is also true that literary artistes have their works colored by personal, ideological and sociocultural settings and because of this, literary works will diverge on structure, ideas and themes. The case is exemplified by the ...
