OBAMA CARE

Introduction
The term Obama care is more or less a derogatory term coined by the critics of the affordable care act put in place by president Barack Obama. The literal meaning of the term Obama care is quite disturbing to say the least. This is because it refers to the type of care that is more inclined towards president Barack Obama as opposed to the entire nation. The question thus arises as to the true nature of this Obama care and whether or not it favors the greater good of the nation or it is a desperate plan by Continue reading...

Traditionally a small antique town surrounded by strawberry fields and a bucolic ambience, Old Bellevue, is currently one of the most appealing and developed towns in Bellevue. Old Bellevue is located at the center of Bellevue and stands as a shopping destination for many of the affluent individuals from within and without Bellevue. Its name “Old Bellevue” sounds ironic, as there is nothing looks old in the town. As a commercial district for Bellevue, Old Bellevue previously had small shops that catered for the local community needs as the town developed into a thriving center of the Eastside. The Continue reading...

According to Hillman, Pictorial or wordless books contain pictures and pure illustrations in a volume that illustrates it all; “tell it all”. However, certain wordless books have minimal wording and labels. Others have phrases and single sentences alongside the illustrations (Hillman, 2010). These books comprise all genes; fiction, poetry, fantasy, biography and nonfiction. Such is a sample of books fellow learners, and I used to aid our understanding of the content of what is taught by the teacher (Wendy, Janice, Amy & Abigail, 2011). We actively participated and fully concentrated on what was taught by our teacher through graphical representations Continue reading...

It has been said that a definition of insanity is the compulsion to repeat the same actions over and over again while expecting a different result. This is evident both on the institutional level and the individual level, whether one looks at attempts by the National Football League’s Dallas Cowboys to spend heavily on a handful of players while leaving many of their other position needs unmet, or at the inexplicable tendency of victims of domestic violence to keep going back to their abusers, often refusing to press charges until the absolute worst happens. An unwillingness to change Continue reading...

Should Children Who Commit Crime be tried as Adults?

Before the introduction of Juvenile Court System in 1899, individuals under 17 years who committed a crime were subjected to a similar system as adults. However, psychologists discovered that contrary to the perception that juveniles were hardened criminals, they are youths who have lost their way. Thus, the main objective for the introduction of the Juvenile Court System was not to imprison and punish the juveniles, but to rehabilitate them. This system works under the same viewpoint as the other justice system, which concentrates on encouraging good behavior instead of punishing bad. Victims are given a number of opportunities Continue reading...

Introduction

A primate is any member that belongs to the group of apes, monkeys and humans. Primates are warm-blooded mammals that unlike most of the groups of living organisms such as reptiles, primates have maternal instincts, and they take care of their young ones from birth. Primates are not egg laying organisms instead; they undergo fertilization and the embryological development of the foetus. Primates share a very close relationship genetically and are even used to explain the theory of evolution. Scientists say that apes share 98 percent of the genetic print with humans and thus they are the closest living Continue reading...

Introduction

Human sexuality is how human beings express themselves sexually. Usually driven by desires of sexual pleasure, human sexuality has physical, biological, and emotional aspects. Biologically, human sexuality refers to the reproductive system as well as fundamental biological drive which exists in all the species and can include sexual contact and sexual intercourse in all forms (Birnbaum et al, 2001). Emotional aspects deal with deep emotions relating to social bonds and associated sexual acts. Physical aspects around sexuality range from medical considerations to physiological or psychological and even sociological aspects of sexual behaviors.

Life accords everyone an opportunity of living once; in this case, one ought to be careful of the choices taken. Many teenagers make wrong decision by leading a life of crime without the knowledge that every misdeed has a consequence. In some instances when the young commit serious crimes, they are subject to the Adult court and get the available punishment. This paper critically argues in favor of the adult court by exposing juveniles to life imprisonment or even prison without parole. Mccabe (2007) argue that in the current society, the crime rates continue to skyrocket and the minors Continue reading...

A tall, lean man wrapped in a bright red cloth around his waist or slung on his shoulders holding a spear and with one leg off the ground hooked behind the other. In most cases, the man will be shown sporting long hair that has been tightly braided in an intricate style and which appears reddish! That is the image that comes to the minds of many people when the word Maasai is mentioned. Maasai is a nomadic community found in grasslands of Kenya and Tanzania. The community is famous for its retention of a strong culture that is Continue reading...

Delinquency among the youth is one of the problems faced by the government today. In view of this, the government and the private sector have developed programs which aim to prevent youth delinquency, and to further promote the health and safety of the youth.
One popular program which aims to support the development of healthy youths is the Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) Community-Based Mentoring (CBM) Program. The program’s strategy is for an adult, the Big Brother or Big Sister, aged 22 to 49 years old, to mentor a youth, the Little Brother or Little Sister aged 6 Continue reading...

Raising children can be a significant challenge for parents. Many times, despite how they predict they will react, adults do not know how they will actually respond to specific situations until they are confronted with them. A common conflict that occurs between parents when rearing a child is whether or not it is acceptable to argue with your spouse in front of your child. There are many variables to take into account while making this decision. Not all parents consider all of these variables; some think it is okay to argue in front of children and will not damage Continue reading...

Abstract

Homelessness in the world is significant humanity problem, which while many will acknowledge needs to be resolution, they also seemed to be unmoved with making a change. The stigmatization associated with homeless people is spread through the misinterpretations of the reasoning of how the individual arrives at their situation. This is largely a problem for the ever increasing population of homeless youth which has risen in the last several years due to the economic situation and familial factors in which self-determination and perseverance take priority. The problems that many homeless individuals face as well as youth is the lack Continue reading...

Cultures in all parts of the world practice different and unique rites of passage. For a young people to be acceptable in any given social group, they are required to undergo certain rites of passage, which become their transition period from adolescence to adulthood. The rites of passage among many cultures in the world help in separating or distinguishing boys from men (Virtanen, 2012). Rite of passage is a concept that is used to help explore other areas and in the description of other various milestones in the life of a given individual during transition to any other stage, Continue reading...

Throughout the American history, young offenders as young as seven years old have been incarcerated and held in the same facilities with grownups. The state of New York was the first to notice this injustice and in the 1824, the House of Refuge was opened. It was the first house of reform in the United States of America. States followed suit and established their own reform houses. In Maryland, children were held in a separate facility for the first time in history. In 1899, the Cook County in the state of Illinois opened the first juvenile court. The proceedings Continue reading...

In her work entitled “Race/Gender/Media Considering Diversity across Audiences, Content, and Producers” Rebecca Lind guides a discussion regarding how influential media communications can be, fostering both positive images and powerfully damaging ones as well. While it is true that music videos may represent a harmless form of entertainment for people, an analysis examining the ways in which gender and sexuality issues impact upon perceptions is forthcoming in this paper. How are gender and sexuality representations depicted in various types of television programming, particularly in music videos? The research herein places the exploration to range from expressing how body images Continue reading...

There are numerous schools of thought as to the role of religion in the Northern Ireland conflict. Institutionally, religion has different levels in the indirect contribution of the Roman Catholic Church and the direct one of the Orange societies. Other levels include the covenant tradition of fundamentalist Protestantism, the level of relational beliefs, level of cultures produced, and the interface between relational religious and national-political beliefs. The way religion connects to politics and conflicts is different for the each of the two dominant blocs of interest. The role of the Catholic Church takes into account. Majority of the past Continue reading...

Introduction

Despite efforts of the federal government, schools, and parents in preventing the youth from engaging in vices, the youth still gravitates toward abusing substances such as alcohol, cigarette, and drugs due to the $25 billion worth of advertisements that are shown during the airing of movies and television programs. It seems that advertisers discovered that the media depiction of substance use would be more effective than traditional advertising. This is because in general, media contents are seen as positive; otherwise, they would not be released for public viewing. Moreover, media depictions would not induce criticisms as much as advertising Continue reading...

Saudi Arabia is the largest Arab economy that produces thousands of young people intending to join the workforce. As a result, it has to create new jobs to beat the employment expectations of young employees who want to have their contribution towards the economic growth and prosperity. The country is currently facing challenges in terms of providing jobs as the need for jobs outweigh the availability (Mellahi, pp. 135). The monarchy of Saudi Arabia is quite powerful but great dissent and challenges of creating more jobs bring Saudi Arabia under great threat. Saudi Arabia has been putting many efforts Continue reading...

“Young Goodman Brown,” “The Birthmark” and “Ethan Brand” are all notably published works from the dark romanticism sub-genre era published by Nathaniel Hawthorne that have lead characters embracing the concepts of morality and isolation. Hawthorne is an American author well-known mostly for his writings in this particular classification of stories from 1839 to 1860. Hawthorne typically incorporates such topic as isolation, sin, and the devil in his writings. These topics can generate and fester sinister feelings and ideas of alienation, guilt, and gloom. Hawthorn draws influence from multiple aspects of his life, for example, incorporating the use of his Continue reading...

The Death Crisis

Death paves the way to several crises. In the criminal justice, crisis is also an indication of the death. The death crisis is increasing, and this increase is continued since 1980.

Young Gian Lorenzo Bernini hand carved the Apollo an Daphne from marble stone. His work is one among many representing the love story of Apollo and Daphne by Ovid. However, it is exceptional in its manner of featuring action and dynamism as it represents a 3-dimensional all round sculpture of the two lover touching a young tree. Choosing to depict the climax of the story, Bernini curves a sculpture representing nude human Daphne stretch her smooth curved body towards the top of the tree with Apollo right behind her.

Abstract
In preparation for the research paper on various funeral practices across 10 different cultures, we have identified the basic criteria by which we will classify those practices by a method of comparison and contrast. The riskiest funeral ritual identified occurs in Indonesia where the family may wrap the body and keep it at home until for weeks, months, or even years. The corpse is also treated as a sick family member and may be involved in the family daily routines.
Keywords: infections, hygiene, vaccinations
According to Healing, T., Hoffman, P., & Young, S. (1995), most of the infections are Continue reading...

Dealing with the concerns of children in between zero and three years of age can be nightmare for many families. The research indicates that there are 5 million children in this age group which suffer from infections due to frequent accidents within USA (Hodges, 2012). Considering the young age and the complete dependency of very small kids on the care givers, it is even essential that there be some sort of assistance for the families and caretakers who look after the small children.
Every single child is different. While some of them get potty trained even before they are Continue reading...

Did Beatle­-Mania’s influence on Soviet teenagers contribute to the fall of the Iron Curtain? An argument can be made that Gorbachev’s opening up to the West through glasnost and perestroika was the final nail in the coffin of the Soviet Union. However, due to the overwhelming evidence of an underground musical movement amongst the Soviet youth, the demands of a disillusioned youth were the catalysts for these reforms. With this taken into consideration, a major change in the political landscape of Russia’s domestic and foreign policy may be observed through three stages, initial distribution, Soviet Continue reading...

When one reaches early adulthood, they usually have spent a lot of time developing, right from their childhood to adolescence. There is a transformation that takes place when one entering into young adulthood, both physically and mentally. It is, however, very difficult to determine just when adulthood begins and adolescence ends, but there are usually some rough formal markers such as getting married, being in a position to vote, being in a position to join the military or reaching a particular birthday. These markers also vary across the world depending on the society and culture that the individual is Continue reading...

Introduction

Children are basically in need of love and affection. The attention they get from people surrounding them invokes a distinct impact on how they develop as individuals. When it comes to issues of being abandoned and later on adopted by foster parents, children often find it a blessing to have good alternative choices of having a family; but the completion of one’s being does not pull through especially if the child begins to understand the reality of things and how all the said matters do impose on the overall identity of the child as he grows further into Continue reading...

Introduction

Foster care is a relatively understudied topic among a wide spectrum of social issues in the United States. In plain terms, it competes for funding and the attention of the public consciousness with social security, Medicaid, medicare, food stamps, the United States Veterans Initiative, and many other programs. There is also the fact that absolute numbers of children in foster care have dropped in recent years (Child Welfare Information Gateway, 2013, p.2). Currently there are approximately 400,000 individuals under the age of 18. At the margins 45% of children were in foster care for less than one year. Continue reading...

Literacy in the United States is one of grave concern as it is a leading factor in much of the negative activities in the society. Timothy Shanahan reiterates that literacy is important to the development of the society as the ability to read and write is fundamental to full participation in American society,” (Shanahan, XIII). Adults who have limited money to meet their basic needs and individuals with limited literacy capabilities find more challenges pursuing their goals in the economic and working world. Individuals who perform in the lowest literacy strata do not experience the current complexities associated with Continue reading...

People in all countries have always been attracted to youth groups because they can identify with the activities of that group. This paper will demonstrate how one youth movement called the Wunderbirds created a place to belong for many German youth after World War I. The idealism and propaganda used by such German Youth groups created an identity by reacting to a common enemy in the years leading up to the war (1922-1939). The Youth of Germany were challenging the status quo; reacting against an older generation of Germans that were accused of the country’s social problems after Continue reading...

Social problem

The social problem to be addressed in my paper is the mistreatment of children. As a society, we have defined this problem and created standards for a child’s environment that we deem healthy. Ideally, the environment for a child should always be safe; emotionally, physically, and socially safe for their proper growth and development. The entire society is expected to have the children’s best interest at heart. When the environment of a child is reported and proven unsafe or insecure, the state government intervenes in the matter to help provide a conducive home for the child. This Continue reading...

This agency is responsible for maintaining and re-designing the built environment with the aim of providing sustainable and environmentally-friendly buildings and structures. It advocates for more legislation concerning use of green energy and renewable materials.
The Government Service Center Building in Boston is still unfinished and unused to date despite construction beginning in the year 1966. This is because the construction ended prematurely as it lasted till 1971. Due to this, the building is abandoned and is used for other purposes other than the intended. As a result of poor design and use of non-sustainable materials in its construction, Continue reading...

Unemployment as an Economic Issue

Is unemployment a major economic issue in the world? And how does it affect economic performance? The percentage of unemployed individuals (who are searching for jobs and willing to work) in the total labor force is a key indicator of market performance for any country. There are negative impacts on the standard of living when a person loses a job or if not employed. Job losers (together with those eligible for unemployment benefits) may find themselves consuming much less than usual. They then end up draining their retirement savings so soon. In addition, prolonged unemployment usually leads to both Continue reading...
