Chapter 18
1.) The arguments are about how much money they should use for the treatments and where they should spend it, meaning what case of TB requires the most help. We feel the money should go to the children of Peru, because their children and they have their whole life ahead of them.
2.) "Never underestimate the ability of a small group of committed individuals to change the world." Margaret Mead was an American cultural anthropologist.
