Correctional Facilities
I'm having a hard time understanding the time frame of the book. I mean, for the most part, the recent years. I wonder if any of Napoleons ideas have been used. I like how he points out that instead of the governemnt handing out money to the Natives for the them to live off of, instead for some of that money to be used to make correctional facilities (like for alcoholism) and have those facilites run by Natives who understand what is going on, who know a lot about their culuture and more about how the Great Death affected their people as a whole. I don't know if I understand what he is saying when these facilities should run for only a span of 20 years. And maybe there should be more thought on facilities for juveniles also because they are being largely affect now.

Napoleon believe that the problem of alcohism can be or mostly solved in 20 years time so after this 20 years there would be no need for these places of treatment. Plus the money factor comes in to play at some point in time, people at some point would it was a waste of money if there was no one there or it just wasnt helping.
ReplyDeleteIts funny because while reding, i thought the same thing! why not get all these people together and solve problems including ptsd. I dont know a lot about the disease or if it can be cured, but atleast the children can be properly educated and maybe stop the trend of depression and alcoholism.
