The United States of America spent a total of US$ 2.1 trillion on the provision of healthcare in 2008 . In 2012, the US spent a total of US$ 2.6 trillion, accounting for about 17% of the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) . Majority of the spending go to hospital care expenditures (about 31.4%), to payments for independent physicians and clinics (19.9%), to purchase of prescription drugs (10%) and to nursing home care (5%). However, of the US$ 2.6 trillion that the country spends in the delivery of healthcare services, about one third ...

Social Responsibility: The case of Bank of America’s Expansion

Introduction

With the emergence of the global world, businesses the world over have been compelled to offer competitive services. In the same strain, the protectionist systems adopted by countries have since been replaced by open market concepts that necessarily encourage capital flight and cross border investments. In addition, it has become easier for businesses to engage in capital borrowing at the international level. It is on this premise that this paper seeks to recommend for the Bank of America’s expansion into the international financial arena and more specifically to the BRICS nations which have been confirmed as having ...

Introduction

The general American identity of people usually base on social cultural basis such class, ethnicity, race and gender. Rarely do we investigate the role played by our culture in our life including the way we relate and interact with each other. Our culture forms the most influential innate thing in our life. I have come to realize this through experience and interaction with several people as I was in the search for my indigenous identity. I trace my identity to European origin having an historic arrival to Argentina in 1502 and most probably this is the time when my ...

Discrimination has become a phenomenon challenge today with the most common of its form being based on gender, age, and race. This moral vice is rampant in the American society despite the government’s achievements in creating a free nation. Various factors such as stereotypes are responsible for discrimination in the USA.

EMBARKATION OF THE PILGRIMS by Robert W. Weir
The painting shows the pilgrims who were on the deck of the speedwell ship in the July 22, 1620 where they went to search for their religious freedom. The artist is trying to show how the group was grieved and thinking about what they were about to do. The painting depicts the feeling of graveness because the group was not certain about what they were going to do, but they were hopeful God could protect them. This was depicted by the message “God with Us” on the upper left of the ...

Whately, Thomas. The Regulations Lately Made (1765), in CAPCT, Vol. 1, pp. 166-170

Thomas Whately was an English politician as well as renowned writer, and is remembered for publishing a letter on the reasonable nature of the Stamp Act, which had been imposed by the British government on its colonies, of which America was one at the time. The Stamp Act required that printed materials in all of its colonies had to be produced on stamped paper that was made in London and had the valid embossed revenue stamp (Greene, 12). It was essentially a direct tax imposed upon ...

Question One

The Progressive Era denotes the period of attempts to address reform both in the economic as well as social sphere between the years 1900-1918. The name obtained from the forward thinking or the progressive goals that were the subject of advancement by supporters of the movement. Its supporters were advocates from both sides of the political divide mainly Democrats, Republicans as well as other third parties’ members whose focus was on certain specific issues. Among the concerns that the movement targeted at reform included direct and indirect results of the significant wave of immigration and industrialization witnessed at the ...

Should we establish a universal, formalist rule forbidding layoffs of all hard-working, competent employees, or should we rely on utilitarian reasoning, libertarian thought, virtue theory, or religious beliefs to answer that question. Explain.

In my opinion, establishing a universal, formalist rule forbidding layoff of hardworking and competent employees is never a realist solution. For instance, in an organization facing challenges that have been assessed and approved to be solved by employees’ layoff, it could be a coincidence that all the employees in the department facing the layoffs are hardworking and competent. Therefore, at least some employees would have to ...

Just the same way as music plays a significant role in Native American culture, art has a very special place as well. Native Americans have traditionally used art as a way of expressing their culture for many years. Most of the art was created as a symbol such as eagle, bear, walrus, or people. On the other hand, the Victorian art depicts the cultural belief of the time about romance and beauty.

In native American art, basket weaving served as a very popular form of artwork that served two functions. Cornhusks and reeds were woven together to make complex ...

George Washington is remembered as the first and one of the greatest presidents of the United State of America. After the completion of his term, he wrote a farewell address to his people.

In my opinion, his address contained three very important pieces of advice that were relevant to Americans. He advised the people of America to stand as one nation. According to him, unity was important for a nation to grow. The president also explained to his people several dangers which might arise in political parties and lastly, he warned the people about some of the risks of ...

Gender and Racial Discrimination in Public School Punishment

The American education system is based on inequalities and disparities in terms of the treatment that the students get from the administration. This is because the first incidence of disproportionality of punishment based on race and gender was first documented by the children’s defence force in 1975 and up to until now the situation has not changed it is still the same. The differences in the way the students are treated is mostly based on two conditions.

The first condition is the stereotype that is always surrounding the people in different race and gender. White people ...

Response to Provided Answers

Question 1

You have a good argument. However, a few sentences are not authoritative enough. For example, in your answer you have “I think all American ,” this sentence could be revised as follows “It is imperative that American” In this case, you avoid overuse of the first pronoun “I”, while maintaining active voice writing.
In addition to the cited reference, you could consider the contributions of the Federal Constitutional drafters such as Madison and Hamilton. Consider how their essays on the constitution promoted democracy and the subsequent adoption of the draft that form the foundation of the American democracy.

After a hard fought war of the American Revolution in 1781, thirteen states felt the need to unify their apparent energies into the first American government. The states came together under the establishment of the articles of confederation, which became effective for a short period. According to Jensen (1959), the confederation lasted March 1781 to March 1789. The demise of the articles saw the emergence of the American constitution. Several problems emerged in the articles of confederation.

Firstly, as Woods (1969) observes, each state was entitled to only one Congress vote (p. 355). This seems fair except that it ...

The sun dance on the page is described as a ceremony, which a sitting bull is involved in major religious rites. This act is a form sacrificing his self, which loses his consciousness. He offers religious praying to their God that they call as The All. After praying, and as part of the ritual, cuts on his arms fifty times on the right as well as fifty cuts on the other will be performed, while in the state of unconsciousness. Once the sitting bull regains his consciousness, he will then tell his visualization of soldiers that falls from the ...

Advocates of gun control make the argument that unregulated buying and selling of guns increase gun crimes. The anti- gun group offer scathing attacks to the National Rifle Association use loopholes found in the United States law to allow gun lovers to purchase guns at will. However, the anti gun advocates reason that forty-percent of all gun sales occur at gun shows, internet or through informal sales. Under such circumstances, gun buyers are not subjected to stringent background checks. Most of the gun control activities evoke the rampant shootings that have occurred in the United ...

The 21st Century American family is faced with very many challenges and problems than in any other time recorded in history. From economic downturns, to drugs, violence, racism, wars, global warming and health problems, the American family is influenced greatly by these problems. It is shown in marriages, and child behavioural patterns, which most of the time lead to delinquency. I will seek to identify some of these major problems and how the influence the prevalence of delinquent behaviour in society.

The factors of the American culture that caused varying and unrealistic ideas about Native Americans included the fact that the natives were seen as the enemies of progress. Further they were also seen as standing in the way of settlement. These factors led to stereotyping of the natives who as a result were subjected to various atrocities. Such atrocities were aimed at provoking the natives so that they could reiterate. Their (natives) retaliation against the atrocities was then as an excuse to attack the natives. The natives were therefore regarded as savages who had to be christened and modernized. ...

The national healthcare insurance plan

The national health insurance plan is one instance of the social welfare policies in the US. The major problem this act aims to solve is the painstaking cost of healthcare in many states of the US. A healthy nation is a wealthy nation according to many policy makers all over the world. For many years, the US has had no healthcare policy despite its industrialized sphere. Actually, the world compared the US to South Africa as some of the developed countries with no regard for their citizens. The most vital causes of the problem can be the lack of ...

The American family today is undoubtedly faced with many challenges and problems than any American family at any point in time. There are numerous external and internal problems that threaten the stability of the family, influencing the development of juvenile delinquent behaviour. It is of outmost importance that we understand the various challenges and problems facing the American family today and how these problems influence the development and prevalence of juvenile delinquent behaviour.

I believe divorce to be the biggest threat to the American family. Divorce rates have been rising since the 70s. Statistics has it that one-third of ...

1. Explain the Naturalization Acts of 1790 and 1870.

The act of naturalization of 1790 was the initial effort by the congress to develop an immigration policy. The act constrained naturalization to white individuals who were free and of decent character and had initially stayed in America for a period of two years. The 1870 act on the other had been an initiative by the congress to widen the laws of naturalization in the country so that it could permit the naturalization of African-Americans.

2. How do we explain that the majority of 19th century immigrant groups achieved social ...

There are several evidences that show that the US was fragmented between the years 1920 to 1970.The fragmentation relied mostly on culture, wars and race. The Americans were greatly separated when it came to very important values. The values might be of general sociological import. (Lessonde, S.171).Looking at the classical theory, it places on structural differences as modernity encroaches. When we look at the fragmentation of America at the historical point of view, it is diminishing. In 1960s, there was political assassination and mass demonstration and one could be forgiven to term America as falling apart. Even inn ...

Introduction

Often, historians will speak if watershed moments in history. Watershed moments are critical turning points that signal a significant or permanent change of historical fortunes. Throughout history, there have been significant moments and events that have had a lasting effect on how the society is today. Events such as the Declaration of Independence, the American Civil War, World War I, The Great Depression, World War II, and more recent events such as the 9/11 attacks are some of the events that have shaped world’s history. Usually, there is a perception that it is events that involve conflict shape ...

- Art is not empty. Art is a matter, a substance; it is a Concept, it is an Argument. Picasso said “painting is not interior decoration. It is an instrument of war for attack and defense against the enemy” (Boeck & Sabartés 1955, p.505), and rightly so. Picasso explains that Art has a purpose, specifically a voice of defiance and logic. But to hang it up as a one-dimensional item hollows the function of artmaking. I know art has the power to influence our thoughts and our actions because Art is conceived from an idea. And that idea could not ...

Question 1

The 1999 Rozin study concluded that there is a French paradox: the French derive pleasure from eating cheese and drinking wine while staying slim and healthy, while Americans obsess about food and its role in their health, yet are among the unhealthiest people in the developed world. . I think the same study if conducted today would still yield the same if not stronger, results.

Americans seem to be obsessed with consuming a “one size fits all” diet that pays more attention to what is printed on a little chart on the side of a package than they ...

“Americans are sharply divided over whether the Supreme Court should strike down the Defense of Marriage Act when it likely rules on the law later this month, according to a new YouGov poll.

According to the survey, 41 percent of Americans said the Supreme Court should overturn DOMA and 45 percent said it should uphold the law, which forbids the federal government from recognizing the marriages of gay and lesbian couples, even in states where those marriages are legal. That split reflects the divide among Americans more generally over whether the federal government should recognize same-sex marriages: ...

Literature

Anzia Yezierska draws Hanneh Hayyeh in a way that makes readers to sympathize with her. Hanneh is a lower class lady who works for Mrs. Preston. She owns nothing that she can really attribute to herself. More so, Preston discriminates her and does not want to treat her in decent manner although she has the ability to do so. This also makes me to dislike Mrs. Preston since she lacks the sense of humanity though she is not fully heartless. She does not view Hanneh as her equal simply because Hanney is poor. A writer can use strong characters ...

Obesity in America is a growing problem. Every year doctors report higher average BMI indexes proving that Americans are putting themselves at a much greater risk for obesity risk factors, such as heart disease, diabetes, and many more. While Americans are cognoscente of the problem, little has been done to find a solution.

One alternative legislative proposal encourages a tax on items considered junk food. This tax in theory would raise the prices of these items making Americans less likely to buy them. However I personally disagree with this proposal because it is very difficult to define what exactly ...

Negotiation styles among different groups are entrenched in their customs and background. Negotiations are used by different groups to arrive at a common ground on certain issues and problem (Lewicki, Barry & Saunders , 2010). The negotiation depends on different variables such as people, circumstance, time and position of power. People in high positions of power have a high probability of getting aggressive on their negotiation platform.

The Americans have a tendency of picking up the phone and immediately starting the negotiation. The direct mode of negotiation may scare away clients who would see their mode of business as aggressive and ...

In his book the jungle, Sinclair’s s main concern was not to the meat but to the workers who produced. It was then that he said that. ‘I aimed at the public’s heart and by accident hit its stomach’. He attempted to make the public aware that the life of an immigrant was very hard in the 1800s. In real sense, he did not actually assist people to know the harsh condition s but the bad meat that they were eating. This is what hit their metaphorical stomachs (Sinclair, 2006 p. 18).

How does happiness and freedom change over time? Definition of happiness by American media advertisement, and the 1931 concept of the American Dream by James Truskow Adams

Culturally it is believed that in the olden days, the happiness of the society was considered as superior to individual happiness. It was not all about what is good for the society and the people were contented with that (Chan, Wing-tsit, 1963). This is far from the truth because if people were indeed contented with the happiness of the society as theirs, then the change to happiness being all about the individual ...

Diversity means recognizing that each individual is unique. Each individual possess a difference from the next individual. The differences include ethnicity, gender, socio-economic status, sexual orientation, age, physical abilities, political beliefs, religious beliefs and difference in ideologies (Essed, 1996). When individuals explore these differences positively in an environment that allows it, the individuals will understand each other and they will live together in harmony. The diverse cultures, origins and language make people to treat other individuals in lesser regard. In America, the skin color brings the obvious difference. People classify themselves as either black American or white Americans. Other ...

Regaining Southern Power: Comparing Whites in the South after the Civil War with the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s

It is common to hear people talk about the Civil War as a war that was fought to abolish slavery. It is cited as an example of American determination to bring freedom to all regardless of past wrongs. This narrative continues with the northern states-- the Union-- as the victor, and the eventual abolition of slavery. However, the American Civil War, its causes, and its eventual effects are much more complex than this narrative belies. After the American Civil War, there was a power struggle in the South; white Southerners used many tactics to regain power after the war ...

African American experiences

Introduction:

African Americans in the United States always have been discriminated against even after emancipation and especially in the South of the United States. The case studies reproduced here continue to reaffirm that situation which does not seem to change since most white people are not predisposed to give equal service to blacks. The studies deal with medical visits and treatment where white medical staff regularly insult or hurt black people without the slightest notion of an apology reaffirming the perceived sense of superiority and ingrained racism which is prevalent in the field.

Micro targeting is described as creating a look-a-like mode, which involves the use of statistical algorithms to extract a pattern from an existing one. For example, people from a church list can be used to people that resembles the same in other population. Political parties use this strategy to broaden their perspective in political behavior in relation to decision-making of voters during elections. It has been successful thus far because the current United States President Barack Obama used the ...

It has taken women a long and tough journey to achieve their rights.

The irregular distribution of power, advantages, material rewards, and opportunities among groups, may be because of stratification within the culture. Racial and ethnic stratification may be referred to as a system of structured disparity where people receive dissimilar amounts of resources in the society based on ethnicity. Level of power may be determined due to a person’s diversity from the prevailing group (Andersen and Patricia, 1997). This diversity may be generally physical and cultural. In these ethnic groups; the prevailing group may be more greatly ranked, and those that may be considered different may be ranked lower. The ...

Immigrants contributed for the 37% growth of the United States of America population after the civil war (Bell, Kwesiga, & Berry 179). Millions over the last two centuries have migrated to the United States. This contributed to the technological and economic advancement of the region.

The California gold rush saw numerous ethnicities abandon their villages in various regions of the world and entered America. In addition, after the civil war, slave trade was abolished therefore employment opportunities were very high (Lecture 7). While others came due the gold ...

Americans believe that nutrition, physical activity and dietary lifestyle influences health. A number of people know that eating well translates considerably to good health. However, most of the information available today is usually focused on what not to eat. There are diverse sources of information on what constitutes healthy dietary lifestyle.

Although graduation rates in high school are essential indicators of how the institutions are ultimately performing, the rates published by the U.S. Department of Education (USDEC) have not been rigorously scrutinized to reveal the true extent of the high school dropout crisis in America. For many years, districts and schools have published misleading graduation rates. For instance, data reported by the U.S. Department of Education (USDEC) fails to account for the reported high number of students repeating the 9th grade (Warren & Edwards, 2005). The numbers merely reflect the enrollment rate at the ninth grade, often called the Freshman year ...

The early 1920s and 30s saw the outburst of civility and the demand for equal rights from the origin of races. Perhaps the cornerstone of this movement revolved around the great migration of African Americans to the urban areas (North) from their ...

These people would be enslaved and forced to work in industrial firms, cash crop farms and even as household employees. Latin American nations such as Brazil and Cuba became the target grounds where slaves were captured. These people started resisting this degrading activity. This was the start of the journey to the abolition of lave trade. The manner in which slave trade was abolished in different countries ...

Jimi Hendrix’s cover of the Bob Dylan folk song, “All Along the Watchtower,” adapts the song from Dylan’s mellow and malicious folk song to an exuberant, angry rock anthem for young people in the late 1960s. Under Jimi’s alterations, the instrumentation turns ominous and aggressive, his exuberant vocals sounding almost pleading. The song contains a limited chord structure and longer-than-usual musical sections, as well as unsettling improvisation and call-and-response from the vocals and guitar. The combination of all these musical elements make the listener, especially one who was young in 1968 (when the song was released), ...

Cultural differences exist in every society in the world. These cultures manifest in various institutions such as industrial work places, business areas, and most important school institutions.
