Discuss the major causes of death in the United States as compared to developing countries
What will be an ideal response?
Children in the United States are more likely to die from accident-related injuries than from the next six most frequent causes of childhood death combined. This means that more children die from accidents (such as fires, falls, and car accidents) than from illnesses such as Leukemia, heart disease, and other ailments. These accidents affect children from lower socioeconomic levels disproportionately. This difference may be due, in part, to hazardous living conditions and living in dangerous neighborhoods. The picture is quite different, however, in developing countries. More than 13 million children around the world die from six diseases: (1) pneumonia, (2) diarrhea, (3) measles, (4) tetanus, (5) whooping cough, and (6) tuberculosis. Air pollution also creates a great number of respiratory infections that account for 20 percent of all deaths in children under the age of 5.
