评论：美国早老性痴呆症患者达540万 |

不仅要为痴呆症正名 更需正视 (钟海之)
在中国，有这样一个人数超过800万的弱势群体：他们的某些表现，在正常人看来是可悲的。比如，他们有时会忘记自己的名字，不认识自己的配偶、子女，找不到回家的路等。他们拥有一个不是很恰当的病名——“老年痴呆症”。今年9月，大陆央视联合多家媒体，呼吁消除社会歧视，为“老年痴呆症”正名。在近日的新闻发布会上，中国卫生部则指，“老年痴呆症”规范名称是“阿尔茨海默病”，但由于这个名字相对专业，普及推广还需要一个过渡。坊间已有专业机构启动了申请更名工作。
媒体倡导为“老年痴呆症”正名无疑是善意的举动，名不正则言不顺。千万别小看一个名称可能带来的伤害。正如英美畅销书《不平等的痛苦》一书所警示道，“利用歧视弱势群体”来获取社会地位与优越感，正是社会排斥的根源。身居海外的华人对此应有切身体会，比如，纽约2009年立法禁用“Oriental”字眼，这使纽约成为继华盛顿州府、亚利桑那州参议会通过之后，美国又一个州禁用歧视亚裔字眼。这种更名，对提升华人的社会地位价值巨大。不过，与名称上的有形歧视相比，现实中“老年痴呆症”病患群体所反映的无形社会问题更值得深思：国际阿尔茨海默病协会发布的报告显示，40%的痴呆患者和25%的痴呆照料者表示在日常生活中会受到排斥。另一个更令人揪心的现状是，目前仅有1%的老年痴呆患者得到专业照顾，另外的99%只能居家护理。颐养天年之时，罹患痴呆已属不幸,但更不幸的是社会责任与服务的缺失。
可见，正名固然重要，但这只是消除歧视的第一步，“老年痴呆症”已成继心血管病、脑血管病和癌症之后老年健康的“第四杀手”。如何营造人人关爱、人人尊重与理解的舆论氛围，如何拿出实实在在的帮扶措施，是对全社会的更大考验。
令人鼓舞的是，温家宝总理12日承诺，“政府宁肯少上几个项目，也要确保对社会养老保险制度的投入”。只有从制度保障、医保尽责、社会共识的凝聚等层面关爱“老年痴呆症”等老年病，才能真正让步入“深度老龄化”社会的中国实现“老有所养”、“老有所为”、“老有所乐”。 |

10/12/2012 (Today) Screening: Assignment: China - China Watching
The USC U.S.-China Institute will screen the new segment of "Assignment: China" focusing on the generation of American journalists who reported on China during a period of revolution, famine, and upheaval.
Annenberg School for Communication & Journalism
ASC 204
University of Southern California
Los Angeles, CA 90089
Time: 4:00-5:30PM
Free, please click here to RSVP.
After Mao Zedong''s communists took power in China in 1949, American journalists were barred from the country. For more than two decades, until Richard Nixon''s historic trip to Beijing in 1972, the People''s Republic remained off-limits to the American press. During this period, as the country experienced revolution, famine, and upheaval, covering China was the job of "China-watchers." Operating primarily from the British colony of Hong Kong, an entire generation of journalists developed the Chinese equivalent of "Kremlinology"- looking for clues in official propaganda, interviewing refugees and defectors, swapping notes with diplomats and spooks - and in the process, producing a surprisingly accurate picture of China in turmoil. This episode of "Assignment: China" is their story.
USCI Senior Fellow Mike Chinoy serves as the lead reporter. Chinoy is widely known for his more than two decades of award-winning reporting from China for CNN. Craig Stubing, USCI Multimedia Editor, is responsible for the filming and editing of Assignment: China. USCI students handle the research and transcriptions. Assignment: China features interviews with journalists who were based in China and Hong Kong. It also includes interviews with scholars who have studied the work of these journalists and government officials who had to be mindful of how such reporting influenced public opinion and thereby affected their ability to make and implement policies.
This is a multi-part documentary film series produced by the U.S.-China Institute on the history of American reporters in China. Click here to view the other segments in the series.
