  Don't Move to the City It Will Probably Kill You

  I think this is the most sane opinion on urbanization. Considering the opportunity in cities--jobs, possible quality of life, etc-- for many, cities are the only option. With effective urban planning, however, countries can change the game and make cities healthier and more sustainable for generations.

  Mainstream Media and Global Health

  I think educating women to have hopes and ambitions is an excellent example of why solutions need to encompass many areas--like you said, not just birth control. However, in many areas, education of women is already a huge issue, interlaced with so many other factors--costs of educating women, cultural barriers/taboos, etc--that the idea of trying to do "too much" in one step worries me. Do you think that issues related to health education and those aspects related to ambition--vocational training, literacy, etc can be married effectively to other health training to combat health issues? What would this kind of solution look like?
