It is difficult to determine exactly what percentage of Toronto’s homeless youth are part of the gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender (LGBTQ) community. However, nearly all estimates state that this number is quite significant (Abramovitch, 2012).

Many of these young people who are under the age of majority are fearful that they will be returned to their parents or their guardians if they are discovered by ...

Further studies have associated local domestic violence to post-traumatic stress disorders which leave the victims suffering even longer after the violence ...

In case of a catastrophe such as the one under the case study, it is extremely vital to determine a criterion for selection of people.

Mitch Snyder was one of the most influential advocates for the rights of the homeless in the American history. The methods he used to achieve financial support for the homeless were extraordinary and outrageous; however, those could be justified by good intention to take care of the helpless.

He aimed to draw the attention of people, as a way to force the government to fulfill their commitments towards the America's poorest (" ...

ABSTRACT

This study was mainly focused on repeating what other studies have done in the past; to understand the relationship between marijuana and schizophrenia. The literature suggested that there was not enough research on the topic in terms of finding out the root cause of patients taking marijuana, even if they had medication. What was discovered in the literature was also the theory that there were other contributing outside factors such as genetics and family history. Patients that were also mentally healthy were having the same effects when taking marijuana. What the literature also spoke about was distinguishing between actual ...

According to Peter Capelli, “52% of U.S. employers surveyed say they have difficulty filling positions because of talent shortages” (par. 10). However, at the time that The Wall Street Journal article was written the unemployment rate was around 9%. The writer explains further that American employers are still complaining about “talent shortages” because they would like to employ persons who do not require any “training or ramp-up time” (Capelli par. 10). These employers hardly hire anyone despite having an “abundance of workers to choose from” (Capelli par. 10). The unwillingness of U.S. employers to hire ...

A zombie is a corpse that feeds on living flesh. Primarily, the phenomenon is brought about by a viral infection of unknown origin wherein no cure has yet been discovered.

POLITICAL BY NATURE

Abstract

In Politics, Aristotle made one of his most famous and controversial contentions by calling man a “political animal.” The philosopher contended that man’s social inclinations created the polis, which he considered an organic entity. For Aristotle, just as man is composed of parts without which he cannot live, the polis is comprised of its own essential elements, such as the household and its individual inhabitants. Only through a communal existence can man hope to find law, justice, sustenance, shelter and the opportunity to live what Aristotle called “the good life” amid aesthetic beauty.

Any assessment of Aristotle’s philosophy ...

Homeless population

It is safe to say that the homeless population as a social group is vulnerable since the homeless are usually at an augmented risk for unfavorable health-related effects.

Sometimes women who were “too beautiful” were accused of witchcraft as well. Witches were sometimes people (usually women) with a strong intuition, those who could ...

ABSTRACT

Hurricane Katrina proved to be one the largest natural disasters to occur in the United States. This storm devastated parts of the south, particularly Louisiana. High winds, rains and the breaking of levees left mass flooding and the drowning of entire neighborhoods. The emergency response from the government proved to be highly disorganized, inefficient and lacked the needed supplies to meet the needs of those requiring medical attention, food, water and shelter. In fact, some argue that the disaster lasted longer because of organizations like FEMA whose efforts many call a great failure. Since then many suggestions have been ...

Starting from autumn of 2013, Ukraine has been a center of an escalating war conflict: starting with peaceful demonstrations in support of Ukraine joining the European Union, to more than one hundred protesters being monstrously killed by the law-enforcers, to Russia invading Crimea and then developing the still-continuing conflict in the east of Ukraine. But what are the reasons of this bloodcurdling incubus born by a supposedly friendly neighbor of once peaceful and promising Ukraine?

Conventionally, education has meant access to better personal and professional experiences. Through education students get knowledge and skills which, if used well, should make a difference in longer run.

The World Health Organization and Center for Disease control are preoccupied with finding antidotes for various viruses that seem to trouble the globe citing the recent case of Ebola as an example. One might be moved to think that an infamous zombie virus might just develop and cause an equal devastation to the world as we know it.

It is a common among social workers to provide assistance to those people who experience poverty. The study of Asquith, Clark, and Waterhouse (2012) have revealed that the poor and unemployed are hostile towards social workers during the initial stages of the counseling because they develop a sense of being rejected by society and breeds discomfort ...

It is human nature to personify objects, events, and things which have a great impact upon our lives. For example, people often name their cars or attribute the outcome of sporting events in which they are merely spectators to something they did or did not do (wearing a “lucky” article of clothing, for example). In Kate Chopin’s turn-of-the 20th Century short story “’The Storm”, the storm is used as not only a backdrop for the events it would precipitate, but as both a metaphor for and a personification of them, as well.
The story has five human characters. Bobinot and Bibi are ...

While we do not have written records from the Paleolithic Era, the vast majority of our information has been gleaned from archaeological and ethnographic comparisons to other hunter and gatherer cultures that exist more contemporaneously, to gain a bit of insight as to how these individuals lived.

Our brains were nearly the size of modern humans, and we were used to standing on two feet, which freed ...
