Today I will talk about the film Chromosome 5.
Andrea is the main character. She is a preemie baby such as 15 millions of
babies in the world. Her parents must be
constant and strong to confront this challenge. Although she was strong, being
born a premature baby can have enormous consequences.
When she grew, her parents could see that she
didn’t speak or walk normally like the rest of the kids. Then they discovered
that their daughter had lost a little piece of the 5th chromosome. This
is known as “the cat's
meow syndrome”. it
impedes Andrea from talking or playing with her friends, but the symptoms can
disappear or reduce with everyone help. We
must treat hers the same as everybody else, without looking down on people like
Andrea.
Unfortunately, Andrea is not the only person
with strange disease. in the world there are a lot of people who have strange
illnesses. About 75% of these people have been discriminated at least once in
their lives. For this reason, I think that schools must have programs to
include children with different types of illnesses. Teachers must transmit to
students that all of us are equal and we don’t judge the other for the
appearance.
Finally, I
think that all of the people who have an illness are great and strong people
and we must get to know them more and judge them less. Andrea could win death
and she, as the rest of the people who have strange disease, will continue
fighting. Together, we can make their life better and easier. It is in everyone
hands.
