1.What discipline do you prefer the most and you want to build your carrer in the upcoming days?

Ans:I will build my career in the upcoming days based on my professionalism, and I will serve the people with monetary consideration for my livelihoods. I have wishes to build my career in the upcoming days following the disciplines that are given bellow-


Improvement of Society :-Society is the main factor of reformation. So every man and woman should be given equal priority considering public health. No person will be remained underprivileged in a bid to make the every family happier in a society. I will focus on persons' health, then I will do my best to make the people conscious of their daily activities related to their health. So social consciousness will be given priority, and regarding public health 'Social Health Campaign' needs to be conducted with health safety banners. 

So, I will make the people live in village area conscious and very much adaptive to their health troubles. 


District Level Health Campaign:-

Health safety measures will be provided to the people in district level under health campaign that facilitates the people more.


Developing The Whole Nations:-

Bangladesh is densely populated country. Many people live in very much unhealthy situation. So, at first I will be seeking government's support in an effort to evacuate the people who are at risks. So the procedures under the discipline is very much important considering public health. There are many people who suffer from malnutrition across the country. Making the country malnutrition free is an essential work considering mass people’s lives. I will drive mass health campaign that can lessen the sufferings of people in general. So this is an another discipline I like the most.


Focusing On The International Arena:-

At the age of modern science as a health worker I will focus on international level. I will ask the international community for a combined effort. With the help of WHO or other international concerned organisations I will do something in a bid to save lives of poor people around the World. I will take part in international seminars, activities in this regard to serve people. So it can be followed by any health worker.  

Taking Steps For Making Funds:-

Serving people means I need financial support. I will be working to make fund for poor people. I will make a social movement on the basis of medical support to poor people. I will ask the wealthy individuals to stand by needy who are not affordable to bear the cost of treatment. So making fund is an important factor considering public health.


Helping Children, adolescents and elderly persons and others:-

Children and adolescents those are vulnerable to various diseases because of their unconsciousness will be paid a great attention. Teenagers who involve themselves in various unethical activities like drugs and alcohol that may lead them to health risks, they will be brought under health campaign. 

Even many women don't know what to do during their pregnancy. I will facilitate them in this regard. 


Fight Against Diseases:-

 Serving the people who are sufferers of diseases like AIDS, Cancer, Diabetes, Long time heart troubles, Kidney troubles etc. is an another discipline, and along with that i will pay attention to preventive measures.


Efforts to make a livable Environment:-

I believe that we are being influenced by the environment where we live. So livable environment is a first and foremost elements to live with a healthy life. Unhealthy Environment can create various diseases that can cause our extra pain. So it is an important thing regrading public health.

2.How do you understand 'Environment as a discipline of Public Health? Ans:Environmental health is one of the major part of public health which focuses on the interconnection between people and environment. Environment is commonly called first and foremost element of humans' health that brings both negative and positive impacts  on human life directly or indirectly. Environment is the part and parcel considering its many aspects as we depend on environment for food and nutrition's. We have to take breath of fresh air in every moment. We have to drink fresh water everyday for our survival. So innumerable  life-leading components come from environment directly. So considering public health there is no denying of the importance of environment. 

Environmental factors include food, water, sanitation, wastes, diseases, air pollution, climate change, lack of health care, poor infrastructures, unhealthy habitats, soil etc. Such type of issues of environment can impede physical wellness of mankind. Improper management of environment hampers human-growth. Physical and mental wellbeing are greatly influenced by the people's surroundings. Even environmental hazards increase the risk of cancer, heart troubles, asthma and many other illness.

So in a purpose to curb various diseases we need to make a great efforts to save our environment. So we need to know more about environment. To understand the field of environmental health, you need to understand seven core concepts: toxicity, exposure, dose/response, individual susceptibility, risks & benefits, environmental justice, and community resources & action.

Along with that we need be more cautious of our environment. We can take many initiatives like planting trees and recycling some materials considering public health. 

So environmental discipline is an important issue of public health that shouldn’t be given less importance.
