I believe that the medical sociology is isolated as a social institution. As a social institution, medicine has value (objectives, principles, and codes), structure, and function, form its organization, symbols, statuses and roles (doctors, patients, government, etc.), the system of vocational stratification and vocational education. Allocation of medical sociology as an independent branch was only in the 50s of 19th century in the United States. For the first time, a new industry was in demand for sociological education student health professionals (Cockerham, 2011).

While sitting on the bench by the tree on a Tuesday afternoon, a sudden sound caught my attention. Looking up straight from the newspaper, I was unable to figure out as to what was going on. The hustle and the bustle of the crowd veiled the actual scene. To join them, I directed to the place of commotion. Alas, a girl between 10 to 12 years of age was sitting on the middle of the road, adamant not to move. Upon taking a closer look, I noticed something peculiar about her; with a slightly deformed body, she was certainly a special child. I went near ...

In his novel A Tale of Two Cities, the immortal Charles Dickens said that it is “a wonderful fact to reflect upon, that every human creature is constituted to be that profound secret and mystery to every other.” I believe this sums up what psychology is pretty succinctly. All of us are exposed to the same world, the same events, the more or less same set of circumstances, yet we all act and react in a completely different, personal manner to this outward stimuli. What is it that makes us tick, so to speak? What makes us who we are? ...

Dear Sir/ Madam,
Personal Statement
It is said that children often follow their parents’ footsteps so far as careers are concerned. Although I did not choose to study medicine like my mother did, I found myself working at a hospital.

Sharpening my skills in Human Resource Management forms a part of my short-term ambitions. It is with this desire that I am compelled to provide an account of all activities and processes ...

I am compelled by the desire to help people regardless of their color, race or gender matters increases my passion and my lifelong ambitions of becoming an advocate for humanitarian needs.

Nowadays with increasing expenses on healthcare sector, many people still cannot have the proper medical service. At this point, it becomes the sphere of interest for social workers who help such people to navigate the world of healthcare.

Thus, they help people to deal with difficulties which happen to be the consequences of life traumas, crucial changes and social injustice (Sokanu.com, 2016).

Serving others is as essential to my existence as breathing. When I was only 12 years old, I was a Special Olympics volunteer where I trained and supervised both horses and riders in the equestrian competition.

In addition, I proudly served a local battered women's shelter by providing haircuts to its residents. I strongly believe that ...

Curiositea Gift Company, the project that I developed together with other four girls, had the mission to sell affordable handmade vintage teacups filled with tea scented candles, shower gel or bath bombs, separately or as a gift. For this aim, we targeted as the end use women aged 30-50, with refined tests for home accessories and an interest in relaxation, harmony and aesthetics. The direct buyers, however, are much more varied, ranging from students to adults who desire to purchase gifts for their friends, mothers, and acquaintances. The main marketing strategy consisted in a combination of strong social media ...

Beyond Freedom and Dignity by B.F. Skinner is a challenge to deeply held beliefs regarding the autonomous nature of humans. Skinner, being one of the founding fathers of the behavioral movement reduces most human activity to a function of social living. Behaviorism has a distinct advantage over other psychological schools insofar as it’s hypotheses can be tested using the scientific method, and observation of objective behavior over subjective thoughts. While primary using rats as his experimental models, Skinner extrapolated his findings to human behavior to create a theory that promoted social conditioning on mass scale in order to create social control.

I believe an LLM will heighten my participation and professional impact on the world. I am motivated and highly focused on obtaining an LLM.

My Personal Statement to Take Up BS in Accountancy
I was born in a traditional Chinese family. Likewise, I attended a very traditional Chinese school. The lesson that my family and school taught me is that “practice makes perfect.” The only way I can improve my grades is to listen to lectures carefully and do more practices after class. The idea helped me to progress in my studies and I felt mostly interested in the accounting and economics disciplines. Afterwards, when I saw a website about the benefits of studying in an American Community College for students who do ...

Ray Lyman Wilbur, a renowned American medical doctor once said “In a world full of uncertainties, the record of what has gone before as human experience is as sure and reliable as anything that we are born with” (UOFLIFE, pp.71). Experience makes up a vital fragment of our personality since it influences our tastes, preferences, inclinations as well as the dictates of our passion. My working experience is an apt manifestation of this phenomenon. My aspiration to delve into the world of business, particularly economics, has been greatly influenced by my seven years working experience in vastly interactive and social environment.

Confidence, good sense of humor, sincerity and good communication skills have always been the strong sides of my personality and have continuously helped me to get along well with people of all ages.

Therefore, I have decided to apply to the Primary Education degree at the University of Greenwich, ...

My interest in Urban Studies started through a combination of experiences as a child and working adult. I grew up in South Korea in a Christian family and followed commandments from the Bible that were mentioned throughout my childhood. However, in the 11th grade my English teacher, Ms. Case, had Kohlberg’s Six Stages of Moral Reasoning posted on the board and I read it every class session. It gave me a different non-religious prospective regarding right and wrong behavior. At that time, I was at Stage Four: “Maintaining the Social Order”; but knew that I wanted to move to Level 3, Stage ...

UC Application #2

Irrespective of what the scriptures prescribed, making judgments seems so common to many of us. Would you judge a person based preference to solitude instead of other people’s company? Perhaps you may claim that would not, but that is exactly what happens often in today’s world. Some people cannot comprehend, much less appreciate, that silence, meditation, and reflection can be just as invigorating, if not more, as the party or social gathering of loud screams and voices.
In an age where extroverts are extolled for their vibrancy and affable character, introverts tend to receive the well-known short ...

My academic specialization is fuzzy logic, which isn’t logic that is fuzzy, but a worldview and method of thinking which is capable of coping with the world’s diversity. Traditional bivalent thinking, the belief that a proposition has only one truth value is, according to philosopher Mario Bunge, “primitive and inconsistent with how the social world is organized” (Winter, 2014). Most social phenomenon, including teaching, is not black and white, true or false, but full of interesting grey variables. I experience this when I’m teaching, because every student is different. My personal educational philosophy revolves around inclusion, and this ...

My country has recently become independent and despite its fast development and constant improvements, the country still lacks the fresh blood educated according to the Western democratic values that are still to be implemented in its legislation. To gradually substitute the Soviet past with the democratic present, our youth needs to study in the countries that are the cradles of the democracy.
For this reason, four years ago I took the Foundation course at HEFP, holding the conditional offer from the University of Warwick to study business law. Due to personal circumstances I was forced to continue my ...

As a nutritionist, I find it ironic that problems on my personal life arise from issues on weight. My husband, even before we got married mentioned to me that he will start losing weight, but years later, we are still caught up in the same problem. Our main argument revolves around his weight; we are not able to have a baby because of the issue. It is sad to see because not only is his family life affected, but even his social and personal lives are being altered. To make things harder for us, his mother is even encouraging his unhealthy ...

A Global Leader in the Construction Field

I was born in Tokyo Japan and attended school there until age 17, when I came to the United States as an exchange student. After graduating from the Japanese High School, Kyoritsu, I attended Temple University to study and earn a Bachelor of Science degree in Architecture. It’s through Temple’s rigorous curriculum when exploring ethical and social dimensions of architecture that my leadership interest peaked.

I am one of the few Saudi women have graduated from law school in my country predominantly patriarchal. Reflecting on my social and educational experience, I appreciate the immeasurable impact of equal justice to all. As a Saudi woman, I have experienced injustice and discrimination firsthand due to my gender.

My legal practice also suffered setbacks due to these backward cultural norms that prohibit interaction with fellow male lawyers. ...

The native language in UAE is Arabic while the ones in Canada are English and French.
