The document discusses three key lessons from the Holocaust: 1) the danger of silence when evil is occurring, as many countries remained neutral and did not help the Jews; 2) the importance of standing up against evil; and 3) the power of unchecked evil. It provides examples of how these lessons can apply today, such as the need for physicians to maintain ethics and skepticism in their work. Overall, the document argues that the Holocaust taught significant lessons about human rights and the importance of passing these lessons to future generations.

Does humanity learn from history? The Holocaust – Three key
lessons for humanity
Introduction
· Holocaust taught us the danger of silence and inaction
· It also reinforced the importance of standing up against the
power of evil.
· The Holocaust reminded us of the power of evil when left
unchecked
I.
Holocaust and the importance of fighting evil
· During the Holocaust, many Jews were killed, and others were
subjected to inhumane conditions.
2. · Holocaust was an extreme violation of human rights. It is a
lesson on how humans can behave without human rights.
(Wolff, N. 2020).
· The declaration of human rights by the UN is to prevent
another holocaust. (Polgar, M. 2018).
II.
Danger of Silence
· When the Jews were being forced into concentration camps
and killed, the entire world remained silent. They did not do
anything to help the Jews. (

Life Unworthy of Life.)
· Countries chose to remain neutral against both the Nazis and
the Jews. Countries like Switzerland closed their borders to the
entrance of Jews. The U.S chose not to believe the newspaper
reports that Jews were being killed.

· The world's silence almost led to the extinction of an entire
race. This is a lesson on the danger of silence on the future of
the human race.
III Application of the lessons learnt
· Physicians' involvement in the Holocaust shows what could
happen when health professionals do not apply ethics in their
work. It also teaches the need to maintain skepticism and reason
in their medical practice. (Levine, M. A., et al, 2019)
· The tide of evil can only be checked when the students are
taught about the mistakes made, even when the students ask
difficult questions. (Hahn, C. L. (2020).
· The current generation needs to learn about the Holocaust, its
mistakes, and its lessons on human rights.
3. Conclusion
· The Holocaust was a tragic incident in the history of human
beings that taught us very significant lessons, such as the
danger of silence, the importance of standing up against evil,
and the power of evil.
· This tragic event taught us several key lessons that are
important today in the life of human beings and will continue to
be passed on from generation to generation

The Effects of Changing Demographics in Healthcare
·
Due to the increase of diversity in the United States, there is a
need for the healthcare industry to promote diversity. Current
diversity projections indicate that racial and ethnic minorities
will increase drastically and account for approximately half of
the population. The minority groups that will have the most
growth are the same groups who currently receive low quality
healthcare. In 2050, White Americans will make up
9. approximately 50% of the population, Hispanic Americans will
make up 24.4%, and African Americans will make up
approximately 14.6% of the population (HPDC, n.d).
Research has shown that while the population is becoming more
diverse, most minorities hold entry-level positions within
healthcare organizations. Many of these jobs fall into the allied
health industry. These jobs are the fastest growing; however,
the pay and opportunities for advancement are a concern. The
workforce in the healthcare industry has increased over the past
10 years. The amount of diversity varied based on the specific
occupation and job title (Snyder, Frogner, & Skillman, 2018).
Increasing diversity in the workforce is a benefit to
organizations and patients. Increasing diversity helps address
disparities
IMPROVED ACCESS
Diversity improves healthcare access for patients with low
socioeconomic status.
IMPROVED PATIENT CHOICE
Diversity in the healthcare workforce increases patient
satisfaction and patient choice. For instance, according to
Health Professionals for Diversity Coalition (HPDC), minority
patients are more likely to select providers of the same
background as theirs.
IMPROVED SATISFACTION
Minorities report greater satisfaction with care when they
10. receive health treatment by someone of their same racial or
ethnic background (HPDC, n.d.)
Diversity extends beyond race and ethnicity. Diversity also
includes age, gender, religious affiliations, and more. For
instance, due to the aging workforce, there is going to be an
exodus of Baby Boomers from the workforce. Approximately
38% of employees aged 50 to 64 plan to work after the age of
65. With the influx of patients in this age group there is going
to also be an increase in the demand for healthcare workers as
well as an increased need to retain older workers and hire
retirees. It has been suggested that for the first time, the
workforce will span across four generations: Silent Generation,
Baby Boomers, Generation X, and Millennials. Each generation
has their own set of characteristics that are specific to their
generation. This means that organizations will have to consider
and adapt to the needs of the aging population in addition to
employees of underrepresented groups (Dickson, 2015).
