BEHAVIOUR AND MEDICINE
The profound Health Recovery Care Programs now occurring in medicine can only be understood if viewed from the perspective of history. Medicine has been changing in all countries since the beginning of time. This is mostly because health care systems are shaped by society adaptability to new environments. Changes in mortality and morbidity also vary. Developmental disorders, behavioural disorders, accidents, AIDS, strokes, eye diseases, hypertension, parenting problems and child abuse, cancers of various types, obesity and many other conditions seem to show the sharpness of their incisors. We should all make an attempt to improve health care practice to constantly maintain its dignity.

FRANK`S DISAMBIGUATION
A young man from Africa left home and lived in the west for three decades. His intense yearning to return after more than three decades was beyond words. He is travelling back to the country he is raised in. The rejuvenation of his sentiment is dimmed with testing insecurity, but he vows to be triumphant and to receive the right of a warmly welcome. On arrival, he sees that the country has changed. There are vehicles of the newest models, trucks, tractors and motorized equipments. The citizens have learnt to repair their vehicles and to maintain them. Motorways have been built and there is high traffic growth. Over inflation is extremely high particularly in regions where transportation is a huge problem. Huge buildings, banks, churches, schools and industries have replaced villages but there is poor housing planning causing waste management problems. Housing situation is bad in the country. About half of the houses in the country are built with wooden structures, mud houses and many people live in kiosks, metal containers and temporary structures. Almost 2 per cent of the houses were shops and containers. There are high crime waves and about seventy per cent of the population had no access to toilets and yet they have mobile phone. The new cultural group of “Afro-European” sometimes create bewilderment between their families. They do not identify themselves with their fore- fathers. They are westernized and their children carry with them western cultures because they find their western culture easier, more comfortable, reliable and more secured. Their ancestral cultures are unknown thus; the new generation born and bred in the West acquire western culture. EXPLOITS OF TWO GIRLS WHO GAINED FROM VERVE Adventures of two girls and their stories about a Polish woman,the Swiss storm, their trip and the experience gained A Princess is rescued in the last hour before she turns into stone. NACODIDIS, THE POOR WISE MAN WHO BECAME A MILLIONAIR THE BEGGAR WHO BECAME A KING STRUGGLE FOR EXISTENCE SYNOPSIS The goal was to retrieve the slave trade from some historical neglects and the loss of memory, and reinstate it to its rightful place at the forefront of modern history and current issues. This book is to honour the 54th anniversary of Ghana’s independence. This work is geared to recognize and scrutinise the many issues and effects that the trade brought to the West Africa and to search for ways and means to make this information relevant and widely known in our generation. People think they know, but many don’t. This book provides the reader with basic understanding of The Trans-Atlantic Slave trade from especially Ghana, West Africa, and the background of the nation Ghana, tribal wars and the role played by the chiefs and kings during the slave trade. Possessing a slave was seen as a symbol of wealth, supremacy and high prestige for the whites. The trade had detrimental effect on long-term economic growth and development as well as political stability and psychological effects it caused ethnic fractionalization. The young generations of modern Ghana are aware that there are twists and turns in every human life irrespective of legacy, something that is handed down from ancient Ghana, and which has to be fixed. The Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade begun from 1450 to 1874, 424 years. Progress, growth and expansion of free enterprise, inventiveness and mechanization were obstructed by the slave trade and limited prevailing industrial activities and incentives. Africans had complexity after the Slave Trade and had since been the Greatest World`s Problem. Although not many whites have aversion, people who have lived long enough are xenophobic, part of being white. Europeans found out that Africa was a market and a source of raw goods thus; West Africa was defined in terms of economic goods. The British engaged numerous arrangements of governance. Uninformed, uneducated and illiterates African and chiefs were misled into signing over their sovereignty to the British. Then, development of nationalism emerged. By the 1930s, West Africa had small elite of leaders familiar with ideas of governing to lead the struggle for independence. Recovery from the transatlantic slave trade for the Africans has been difficult due to many reasons mentioned in this book. Interest in selective medicine has grown considerably and modern medicine’s therapeutic profile is expanding towards the treatments of minor, major and terminal diseases. Now, as the professional and political climate in medicine is changing, it is time to take stock. Political control and influence has undoubtedly come to join our modern medicine and has understanding of our common peril. Over the last five years we have had the opportunity to witness advances in medicine. The practice of medicine creates documentations that reflect the state of the art in terms of the formal medicine and clinical issues surrounding modern medicine. Although, there is a uniform or consistent meaning of the term, profession or professional as it relates to physicians, there are number of components which usually mark the physician. A human is born a free individual with equal qualities, equal rights, equal opportunities, equal wisdom, equal sense of right and wrong and equal brotherhood of mankind. They include but, are not limited to, a formal process of education, scientific researches, high academic status and liberal fields in addition to particular technical skills which foster knowledge and human rights. As time passes, the profound changes in society and the breakdown of some of our valued principals have often produced a belief that lack of integrity in high places should be condoned, and in low places, considered good practice. Ethics in modern medicine cannot and will never be anything else than honesty from and for the medical profession; open-mindedness, optimism and helpfulness. There is a great sense of adventure and pioneering zeal among physicians. It is from my deep passion for life that I pose with understanding for those who from years of incurable diseases, and who wish to end their suffering, should know that we care. We must know that even if we are poor or rich, perfect or not, we have at least deepening knowledge of life. To grasp the meaning of medicine of today from a sound judgment, one must look into the past for the foundation of the present. The crises of all are given hearing. However, there are vast areas in which civilized enterprises demand direction and control. There should be meaningful achievements and should not be incorporated with profits, and oppressions. It is in the light of the past that the generation now coming into control of life, the generation that has to question the past and make attempt to mould the future, can understand and device ways and means for the betterment of humanity. Time changes and the past twenty years has been phenomenal, not only because we have avoided major world catastrophes, but there has been advancements in medical engineering, science, medical inventions and in the medical profession. The mood of people has changed and people understand more about diseases and treatments. How societies in developing world’s live, their security and livelihood of these societies affect all of us. Success of individual efforts to help can only be achieved by beautified dreams of a compensation futurity. Society’s mercy is in the hands of physicians and politicians; we should not forget the existence and affections of the poor and the weak in the society., a fight for achievement should accompany a search for a road to make the future a living adventure, undimmed by shadows of social calamities but first, we must realize that life is the ability of human activity to produce new forms dissimilar to dead stones and rocks. Problems arise especially for the young generation, for whom it is all too easy to misunderstand life; thus consequences of their selection of things, choices and interpretations are, sometimes too difficult to accept as well as their decisions that seem right. It leaves them with loneliness, frustrations and self-pity. Occasionally, their impulses in life vanish with their consciousness in an orgy of annihilation. People live in a world in which purposes and choices, though shadowed by unpredictability’s, remain the only comparative means of living. To maintain intellectual equilibrium and lamentation of this type, people should search for other means of staying alive. We do not have omnipotence, and human beings should hope that respite will save them from the drabness of the stultifying conditions. Sometimes, the human race does not gain agreeableness with Mother Nature from which, we can replace our enthusiasm because, we refuse to show positive and eager initiatives to take positive actions. We display signs of negative resignation due to hopelessness and despair. Society cannot maintain life and develop effectively if we give up. If it happens, the whole meaning and purpose of life will fall at the mercy of accident. A society’s hope for the future is anchored upon self-dignity. State of our knowledge corresponds to our personal beliefs. Nobody holds life cheap. Sometimes, a structured community of people seems to be weak and do not search into dramatic details of the perils that surround them. Societies hide themselves in solitude with grief, while entertaining weariness, angst, depression and ambivalence. They do not have freedom of mind, spirit and inward peace. No human being wants to be characterized as “asocial” and unsuited for society. Is it not because society fails them? Quality of Life Quality of life is a quality to be resurrected. In conceptualizing quality of life, it is complex and composed of multiple dimensions. It means different things to different people. We all want to lead a normal life others, in addition, have personal aims. Each of us wants to achieve security, position in life and to apply our intellect and physic to obtain our aims but there is discrimination everywhere. It has become a distinguishing property of human beings. Human beings perspectives, feelings, beliefs, desire, conscious minds, philosophies, values, life-satisfactions, happiness are, refined and dignified. In terms of health, medicine cannot determine the quality of life. It can help people to achieve the quality of health that enables them to enjoy the kind of life they have chosen but it occasionally lacks full scope. Male dominance plays important part in defining quality of life. Norway has been ranked in International Gender Gap Index as number one, a lesson, to be incorporated in our societies. To find some general truth in our misfortunes, we must gain practical wisdom in life, constructive hope and changes upon which this impotent stigma may swing into glittering conquer. The Scandinavians have achieved gender quality among men and women. It includes childhood, education, work, and life on the household, choice of partner, children and parents, gender quality, experiences and attitudes, health and quality of life to end male dominance in the world. Hopeful impressions of our conscious minds can be helpful towards these rejections. Some sections of the human race should not become inventors and others recipients. Conflicts should not lead the world through dark and devious paths of rebirth, destroying life’s quality on its path. We should not act contagiously and destroy all that is good, healthy, peaceful and beautiful. Demoralization follows unemployment, unemployment follows poverty, poverty follows criminality and criminality affects all. Those with bitter quality of life, who turn anger to ferocious deeds, find no relief in themselves. They smile hypocritically and with unfailing discomforts because there is no quality of life to rebuild. Prof. Dr Jeff Akvama Ph. D . <div id="google_translate_element"></div><script>
Jennifer and Naomi lived happily in Switzerland. They lived peacefully with a Polish woman Mrs. Warinka in a flat which contained large desirable rooms on the ground floor. On 12 January 1963, Jennifer and Naomi went to a theatre at Limmat quae. The theatre was about Faust from Mephistopheles. The weather forecast was not promising. A large amount of storm was released violently which turned the roads and the pavements into slippery paths with soft white flakes.

KWAME, THE LAST SLAVE FROM WEST AFRICA
Our adequate vitality, ability, zest and knowledge can surmount diseases and, sick individuals will achieve better dimensions, if we care. I know that hardships in controlling diseases everywhere, cannot be fought down so quickly as to make diseases disappear but, our attempts, in collaboration with politicians would be an achievement to be admired and respected as a proof of victory, liberation, vitality and passion.
Our minds must not be put in dismay. There are a lot of life’s minute pleasures to enjoy. The weak is always at the mercy of the rich and the privileged and men have dominance over women. If only the sensitivity in us becomes aware of this condition, society will create new ideas and, humanity in us will create understanding, harmony and peace instead of confusion and egotism, which can crush and destroy spiritual lives and renders human beings on the globe powerless.
