Screening is a significant device in healthcare, planning to recognize people in danger of specific circumstances or sicknesses before side effects appear. It includes utilizing tests to recognize early signs, empowering brief intercessions, and further developing results. Screening programs have been carried out for different regions, like a malignant growth, cardiovascular illnesses, and many other illnesses, fully intent on lessening grimness and death rates (Aitken & et al., 2019). In any case, the advantages and impediments of screening should be painstakingly thought of. This discussion inspects the advantages and disadvantages of well-being advancement and infection counteraction through screening, revealing insight into possible advantages and difficulties.
Advantages Of Screening
Early Identification
One of the essential advantages of screening is the potential for early discovery of infections. By recognizing conditions in their beginning phases, treatment can start sooner, frequently prompting improved results and expanded possibilities of full recovery. For example, Mammograms is known as one of the best techniques to detect early breast cancer , while HPV test and Pap test have successfully distinguished in early detection of cervical malignancy at the beginning phase (Yip, et al., 2021).
Avoidance and Intercession
Screening programs can assist with forestalling the advancement of specific infections or conditions. For instance, through normal circulatory strain screenings, people with hypertension can be recognized and given formal mediations, like way-of-life adjustments or medicine, to forestall further confusions like coronary illness or stroke.
General Well-being Effect
Screening can fundamentally affect general well-being. By distinguishing people in danger and executing appropriate measures, for example, segregation or treatment, the spread of sicknesses can be checked. This effect is clear in programs, for example, HIV screening, which has helped control the transmission of the infection (C. M. Van der Aalst & et al., 2019).
Disadvantages Of Screening: Bogus Up-sides and Negatives
Screening tests are not secure and can create misleading outcomes. Misleading up-sides happen when the test demonstrates the presence of a condition. However, further indicative tests uncover that the individual is substantial. Bogus negatives, then again, occur when the test neglects to distinguish a state, prompting a missed conclusion. These mistaken outcomes can cause pointless tension or give a misguided feeling that everything is okay.
Overdiagnosis and Overtreatment
Screening can prompt overdiagnosis, which happens when a condition is distinguished that couldn’t have ever caused side effects or mischief during an individual’s lifetime. Overdiagnosis can bring superfluous clinical intercessions, for example, medical procedures or prescriptions, which can worry about their dangers and concerns.
Dante Alighieri played a critical role in the literature world through his poem Divine Comedy that was written in the 14th century. The poem contains Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso. The Inferno is a description of the nine circles of torment that are found on the earth. It depicts the realms of the people that have gone against the spiritual values and who, instead, have chosen bestial appetite, violence, or fraud and malice. The nine circles of hell are limbo, lust, gluttony, greed and wrath. Others are heresy, violence, fraud, and treachery. The purpose of this paper is to examine the Dante’s Inferno in the perspective of its portrayal of God’s image and the justification of hell.
In this epic poem, God is portrayed as a super being guilty of multiple weaknesses including being egotistic, unjust, and hypocritical. Dante, in this poem, depicts God as being more human than divine by challenging God’s omnipotence. Additionally, the manner in which Dante describes Hell is in full contradiction to the morals of God as written in the Bible. When god arranges Hell to flatter Himself, He commits egotism, a sin that is common among human beings (Cheney, 2016). The weakness is depicted in Limbo and on the Gate of Hell where, for instance, God sends those who do not worship Him to Hell. This implies that failure to worship Him is a sin.
God is also depicted as lacking justice in His actions thus removing the godly image. The injustice is portrayed by the manner in which the sodomites and opportunists are treated. The opportunists are subjected to banner chasing in their lives after death followed by being stung by insects and maggots. They are known to having done neither good nor bad during their lifetimes and, therefore, justice could have demanded that they be granted a neutral punishment having lived a neutral life. The sodomites are also punished unfairly by God when Brunetto Lattini is condemned to hell despite being a good leader (Babor, T. F., McGovern, T., & Robaina, K. (2017). While he commited sodomy, God chooses to ignore all the other good deeds that Brunetto did.
Finally, God is also portrayed as being hypocritical in His actions, a sin that further diminishes His godliness and makes Him more human. A case in point is when God condemns the sin of egotism and goes ahead to commit it repeatedly. Proverbs 29:23 states that “arrogance will bring your downfall, but if you are humble, you will be respected.” When Slattery condemns Dante’s human state as being weak, doubtful, and limited, he is proving God’s hypocrisy because He is also human (Verdicchio, 2015). The actions of God in Hell as portrayed by Dante are inconsistent with the Biblical literature. Both Dante and God are prone to making mistakes, something common among human beings thus making God more human.
To wrap it up, Dante portrays God is more human since He commits the same sins that humans commit: egotism, hypocrisy, and injustice. Hell is justified as being a destination for victims of the mistakes committed by God. The Hell is presented as being a totally different place as compared to what is written about it in the Bible. As a result, reading through the text gives an image of God who is prone to the very mistakes common to humans thus ripping Him off His lofty status of divine and, instead, making Him a mere human. Whether or not Dante did it intentionally is subject to debate but one thing is clear in the poem: the misconstrued notion of God is revealed to future generations.
