According to Mary Warren, a fetus is a genetic human being but is not a moral agent. It follows then that a fetus is not a part of the moral community. The fetus according to Warren lacks the required characteristics that qualify it to be a part of the moral community (LaFollette, 2014). It should, therefore, not receive moral protection. It follows then that it is right to terminate a fetus before it qualifies to be a moral being. For an individual to qualify to be a moral person rather than a genetic human, such a person must have ...

Introduction As a child, the mind is easily in awe and wonder about the simplest or most basic experiences. Experts argue that this may be the case because children’s brains are wired differently compared to when they grow up as adults. When children grow up, their brain physiology and chemistry change so as to accommodate other sections of the brain that are necessary for adulthood. Consequently, individual loses her child-like wonder when experiencing ordinary events as an adult. Therefore, childhood is a time when the brain focuses on allowing the child to develop by ...

The British novelist, critic and essayist Virginia Stephen Woolf is considered one of the most authentic writers of England in the period between the First and the Second World Wars. Being discontented with the novels on the basis of the well-known, actual and apparent, Woolf went on her own experimental way. Walking along this path, the writer discovered a more internal, subjective interpretation of life experience, which is reflected in all of her creative works. It is also worth mentioning about the impact of such famous people such as Henry James, Marcel Proust and James Joyce on her work. ...

Success and achievement of the dreams and goals do not tend to come by accident, but rather as a result of great efforts and strong determination. The starting point to self-realization and personal fulfillment is by no means self-awareness, understanding of personal values, strength, and weaknesses, as well as identifying one's passions and interests in a certain professional field, on the basis of which certain goals are defined and set. Thereby considering one's life as a project and reflecting on some core issues in self-management is by far essential activity for anyone who strives to advance in one's life ...

Introduction Nursing practice recognizes altruism through various interventions such as understanding different beliefs and cultures, advocating for vulnerable patients, taking risks on behalf of other workers and patients and mentoring other professionals. In altruism, interpersonal factors such as respect and compassion are considered virtues that cultivate a caring attitude towards others. As such, some people feel that altruism usually places heavy demands on the nurses’ self-sacrifice, thus overlooking the challenges that these nurses face while in practice especially with acute-care settings and psychiatric situations. In this regard, it means that master’s prepared nurses have a role to play ...

However, it is not always true that the natural sex of a victim is in exact consistency with the gender of the victim – this is due to issues related to transgender transformations and suchlike. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that the clothes recovered ...

Virginia Woolf and

Virginia Woolf undoubtedly stands as a titan in the early era of gender progress. She not only spoke of the virtues of a woman’s mind, independence, and the contribution women can make, but she wrote it into her characters. The irony lies in her inability to embrace her own ideas. Virginia Woolf believed in women’s rights and surrounded herself with like-minded people. Even when she lived in a world that did not agree with her ideas about gender equality, she took it upon herself to be herself. She believed in her right to speak and be heard ...

If we consider theology as the study of God, or the study of the divine, or the study of the nature of God, then the definition that Mueller puts forth for theology and his justification for taking part in its study make a lot of sense. He breaks down the word into its two Greek roots: theos for “god” and logos for “word” or “understanding” (Mueller 2011, p. 28), and that leaves one with a wide range of possible interpretations. Given that Mueller has an “S.J.” after his name, of course, we must conclude that he will take on ...

Introduction

Changing a mindset is extremely difficult, especially for a person who is juggling all of the commitments of a busy life—a full-time job, family obligations, showing up for social occasions, and the like. It seems to be simple human nature to go along in life making incremental changes, but never really examining the underlying assumptions that our days are based upon. Entrepreneurs may have certain character attributes that give them the capacity to distance themselves from the urgent—what to wear, who to hire, how to soothe the boss—to focus on the truly important—what is meaningful, ...

Abstract

Traumatic brain injury is an acquired injury to the brain that results from an external blunt or penetrating force to the head while; intentional hypoxia is the loss of oxygen supply to the brain which leads to a continuum of injury severity. A review of current literature on this topic suggests that comparisons can be readily drawn between traumatic brain injury and hypoxic brain injury in a rehabilitation setting.

Treating intentional hypoxia, however, involves an establishment of the desired ...

Obesity

Introduction Even if obesity has tapered off in the United States and contrary to our very worst fears, it is clear that dropping the overall rate of 38% of obese adults is a challenge that one can take on from a public health standpoint (“Obesity Rates”, 2017).

Development theories describe various factors that influence the development pattern of an individual that include hereditary and environmental factors. On the other hand, other psychological experts argue that development is controlled by nature and nurture that combine to influence biological factors. However, psychological developments ...

Youths are not generally tried in adult court for the crimes that they commit. This is because most of the crimes committed by youths are not serious enough to justify incarcerating them alongside adult offenders. Most youths are tried in juvenile court and are sentenced to serve time in juvenile detention facilities if convicted. However, this does not apply to youths who are convicted of more serious crimes, such as murder. The age at which a person can be tried in adult versus juvenile court differs between states. In forty-one states the maximum age of a juvenile before being ...

Impact Mitigation

Intelligent locomotive bumper designs have been touted as possible life-savers for pedestrians. Paden, Kelly, Hines, Botham and Simms explored the feasibility of a life-saving locomotive bumper (103). There were several motivations behind their paper. Perhaps the most important one was the high number of pedestrians that were killed every year in train impacts. Between the years 2007 and 2012, about 10,950 non-suicide deaths were attributed to train impact on humans. Including suicide deaths on railroads, 28,800 pedestrians were killed during that 6-year period. Also, Paden et al., noted that passenger trains served densely populated areas ( ...

Some people would say that delayed transition to adulthood is a poor decision. Individuals argue that it puts people behind, mentally, in relation to how they are supposed to function in society. However, there are other people who would say that it is a double-edged sword. The reason people would argue this, is because when an individual has a delayed transition to adulthood, they get to explore more of who they are. Moreover, the reading “The Longest Decade” expands upon this as well. What it says about delayed transition to adulthood, is that giving time for individuals to discover ...
