Healthcare System and Delivery: Governmental Health-Related Agencies

Healthcare for the citizens of Zimbabwe is generally provided by various health-related entities namely: public facilities, nonprofit groups, church organizations, company operated-clinics, and for-profit clinics (Osika, Altman, Ekbladh, Katz, Nguyen, Rosenfield, Williamson, and Tapera, 2011). The main or head governmental agency concerned with the healthcare in Zimbabwe is the Ministry of Health and Child Welfare or MOHCW (Osika et al., 2011). MOHCW, as the main healthcare agency of the Zimbabwean government, generally works by coordinating other agencies of the government that are also related to healthcare provision (Osika et al., 2011). Being systematic in healthcare provision, agencies that will ...

Political History and Development of Nursing Education: Comparison of Kenya and Poland

Traditions and culture in Kenya are the origins of its nursing system. As an African country, the wide belief of Kenyan community in the occult and/or supernatural had determined their earliest conceptual explanations of illness and disease. The earliest known nurses in Kenya were the Traditional Health Providers and Traditional Birth Attendants (Mule, 1986). Traditional Health Providers and Traditional Birth Attendants of the pre-professional nursing era in Kenya used objects, particularly herbs and ancient practices of sacrifice/offering, as the basic forms of medicines (Mule, 1986). However, with the arrival of Western missionaries on Kenyan lands, the traditional nursing known ...

Racial and ethnic models have been the premises for relationship in the human society. In the study of racial and ethnic models, many concepts/theories have been put forward to provide the best sociological explanation for different scenarios. The primordial attachments in the humanity are better expounded by a class model or approach. Many pundits see a great relationship between search for profit gains and formulation of racial systems and ethnic groups (Geschwender, 1978). The class conflict has manifested itself where ethnic and racial groups are exploited majorly in economical terms. The role of class and class struggle is key in analyzing ...

“Education is not the learning of facts, but the training of the mind to think.” –Albert Einstein

A college degree is necessary to have the ability to compete in the job market nowadays. I believe in the idea that the more education a person has, the better that person fares in the labor market. However, it was observed by Wessel and Banchero (2012), that the idea that “almost every generation has had substantially more education that that of its parents” is no longer true among the Americans; that is, the They asserted that the education slowdown (or declining number of Americans obtaining 4-year college degree primarily due to high private costs of education) poses a threat to the ...

I agree with Akers & Chingos (2014) that, “increases in lifetime incomes of college-educated Americans have more than kept pace with increase in debt loads.” According to their research, the average household with student debt has experienced an increase in annual income of $7400 while total debt increased by only eighteen thousand dollars. The statistics show that income of educated Americans has been increasing at a faster rate than the increase in student debt and the increased annual income can pay the additional debt within two to three years (Akers & Chingos, 2014). The increase in borrower’s income ...

The United States has the highest prison population in the world while having only 5 percent of the world’s population (Liptak, 2008). While most of the people who are incarcerated are in the prison system because of non-violent or drug related offenses. With most of these consisting of Hispanic and African American people from lower income areas. This disproportion is caused mainly because of the lack of equal access to education. Four in every ten prisoners returns to jail within three years of being released “a collective rate that has remained largely unchanged in years, despite huge increases ...

Description of professional socialization

It is difficult to define professional socialization because there are differences of opinion over the definition of professional socialization among scholars, and different scholars have defined it differently. Professional socialization is the process through which individuals acquire different skills to meet professional needs and by quitting the old habits (Dinmohammadi, Peyrovi, & Mehrdad, 2013).

It is also defined as the process of internalization, integration and learning (Bell, Campbell, & Goldberg, 2015).

Musical Theater and Musical shows have been around for centuries. In the beginning, a musical show was the “integration of narrative, song, and dance characteristics” that “glorified beautiful women and surrounded them with comedian, singers, and dancers” (Reynolds and McCormik). From the early 1900 to 1930’s, the theater supporter was charmed by Minstrel shows, Variety Shows, and Follies which led to musicals with dramatic action. As the theater progressed, dance numbers became more a part of the entire show. Over the next 30-40 years Broadway Musicals would hit their highs and lows, but it was all too evident that the ...

Education has always been seen as the step towards the dream jobs and the career opportunities people aspire. With the relevant education, a person is better suited to become the greatest professional he aspires to be. However the recent recession has been established to limp deeply on the education sector just like it has hit the financial departments. This time the most affected are the students who find it hard to continue with the lives they had before the current economic turmoil. Kinder (16) also noted that “during economic downturn a number of things usually take place as we have experienced ...

As a former student at BCIT (British Columbia Institute of Technology), I can remember the transitional experience from grade school. Actually, following high school, I first attended university for two years, and failing in my second year in Engineering (I did not even qualify for Engineering in the first year; instead I began with general sciences which helped improve my grades to enter the Engineering faculty). Only with my post-secondary experience I understand the stress college bound students go through nowadays; hence, my reason and purpose as to my interest in this topic in question.

History of Computer Forensics

Computer forensic refers to the preservation, identification, extraction, interpretation and documentation of computer evidence (Wiles, Cardwell, and Reyes 2). Such evidence retrieved is usually aimed to be used in a court of law. Electronic crimes increased in the 1970s especially in the financial sector. These crimes resulted because people saw an opportunity of making money by manipulating computer data (Nelson, Phillips, and Steuart 5).
According to Mohay (113), computer forensics was first used in the 1970s by the US military and intelligence agencies. Daniel (14) notes that computer forensics began in 1984. During this year, the FBI created a program ...
