Article Review

Natalie Wolchover in her article devoted to the issue of gun control develops her point through the dialogue prism. It means that the article does not itself support certain point of view, but insists on the need for the dialogue between two sides to reach the common ground. Ms. Wolchover bears in mind the tough situation in terms of the strong opposition to the gun control issues and, thus, supports the dialogue arguments. The author refers to the most-known scholars in the area of constitutional law from Harvard, who has a similar way of argumentation: firstly, the dialogue, then, ...

Let’s imagine you are on the island and you want to eat. Englishmen, as a rule, are not concentrated on food too much. They can choose to buy food in the shop and to eat at home or to go to some pub. All pubs are nearly the same. But only some restaurants in London can impress their visitors. I want to start my story about one special place that I want to visit more again and that has impressed me a lot. I would like even to work there one day if it is possible, but it ...

In the age of slavery, white American society considered African people to be benighted heathens with the other skin color, body structure, and inappropriate traditions and culture. Such conclusions were drawn mostly upon the widespread idea about the superiority of Whites and the absence of Christianity in Africa. American society prevented the assimilation of African-American slaves even after the generations of their presence on the American land and repudiated their equality to Whites even when they started to adopt Christian way of life. For Americans, African people had continued to be barbarians who had come to America to be ...

As an immigrant to the United States of America, I understand better than many native citizens just how complicated cultural identity can be. To someone who was born in this country and has lived here all her life, it might be difficult to understand that an individual's experiences are profoundly shaped by the culture where she grows up. The time I spent in Guyana as a young person gave me a strong personal identity and a powerful belief in God, both of which have affected how and why I learn. I was born in the South American country of ...

The Central Intelligence Agency (2017) revealed that the country of Guatemala is composed primarily of European mestizos at 59.4%, which is a combination of Amerindian and Spanish ancestry. This considered to be significantly higher when compared to the indigenous groups of K’iche at 9.1%, 8.4% for Kaqchikel, Mam at 7.9%, 6.3% for Q’eqchi, the Mayan at 8.6% and with other non-Mayan groups at 0.3% (Central, 2017). The effect of the higher percentage of mestizos is that Spanish became the official language of the country while only 40% uses the 23 Amerindian languages (Central, 2017). The additional effect ...

Concept of cultural competence nursing

Changing demographics in most nations require that nurses offer culturally competent care. Due to diverse populations, medical professionals have started to address the essence of creating a way to promote cultural competence in different healthcare situations. Primarily, cultural competence involves creating an appreciation of a person’s existence, consciousness, notions, and situation without permitting it to have an inappropriate effect on people from different backgrounds. Additionally, cultural competence demonstrates understanding and comprehension of the patient’s culture, embracing and accepting cultural diversity, and personalizing care based on the patient’s culture (Flowers, 2004).

Illegal Immigration.

Illegal immigrants have increased in the country over the past few years. Some of the pros of illegal immigrants are that they boost the economy through the provision of cheap labor as they are working hard for their families back home. They are willing to take all kinds of work especially if they are undocumented. Immigrants take up duties that average Americans are not prepared to perform. This aids in the distribution of goods and services. Illegal immigrants pay taxes especially if they work in restaurants and automobile shops. They improve biodiversity and enhance cultures. The disadvantages of illegal ...

Reason for Catholic and Protestant Reformation’ Great Impact on Europe

The Catholic and Protestant Reformation represent the radical, religious, academic and traditional disturbance that traumatized Catholic Europe in the 16th Century. It set in place the notions and opinions that would describe the continent in the contemporary period. In central and northern Europe, activists like John Calvin, and Martin Luther questioned papal power and probed the Catholic Church’s capability to define Christian exercise. Although the movement was predominantly spiritual, the attitude of independence endorsed by Protestantism steered many people to rebel in contradiction of the power of the church and the authoritative monarchs, who relied on their authority ...

In my opinion, Alan Watts (n.d.) means that search of significance for an individual is not just a process but a state of mind, which leads the person further. Alan Watts (n.d.) gives an example of photos of peeling paint on old doors. By providing this example, Alan Watts (n.d.) is trying to say that photographers, who shoot this kind of photos do not follow a purpose to show the viewer the qualities of paint or the door either, what they are trying to show is that this process exists as it is. It is just there in a ...

After “diagnosis” of the audience, using media of any kind, sellers attract people to their goods by promoting them. If there is a behavior change advertisement, the advertisers usually set a role model from public. In order to be a successful advertiser, one ...

Body Mass Index

Body Mass Index (BMI) Introduction Historically, the use of the Body Mass Index (BMI) has been the standard method of measuring obesity among the adults. The standards of BMI were created using population samples, which were calculated from the measurement of the weight and height of Caucasians. Recent research has proved that BMI alone cannot be an appropriate way of measuring obesity. The main reason for this is the differences in ethnicity and the genetic make-up of individuals. The National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) has evaluated the trend of the BMI and the result is that the African ...

The teacher is the most emblematic in the transmission perspective. Johnson (1) explains that in this perspective, the teacher is viewed as the dispenser of knowledge and the final person to evaluate learning. Although most teachers use the lecture technique, they are bound to use different perspectives apart from transmissions such as transaction, and transformation perspectives (Johnson 1). Most teachers who do not embrace the transmission perspective also use the lecture technique in order to avail facts to their students. Transmission teachers believe that tests are the ultimate measure of the earning of the students. Teachers who use this ...

A Polaroid Cube is a delightful and little camera that takes the still shots as well as video. Just as the name suggest, it is a tiny tube about 35mm on the side. It can stick to any and all the magnetic surfaces and even a dinner folk.

However, the cube can be used any place in any circumstance to take photos and video recording. The cube comes in red, blue and red colors ...

Where did the idea of the American Dream first originate? Immigrants to the New World were bent on creating a new society, one that thrived on democratic principles, where they could worship freely and having equal standing in the eyes of the law regardless of their financial situation or social status. We believe these ideas to be our own, but they are not; these ideas are not uniquely American ideas. They are drawn from the beliefs of the early Protestants, specifically the ideas of separation of church and state, equality for all and hard work and integrity. The first ...

Introduction

Maslow calls resilience “ordinary magic.” But in reality, there is nothing magic at all about resilience. Resilience is not even a natural human intact or behavior, it is one that is learned over time and influenced by one’s environment. People are not born naturally resilient. The behavior is an adaptation necessary from their surroundings as they grow and change. Simply, Resilience is a learned behavior.

Infants are not naturally resilient

Starting at the beginning of our life, in infancy, individuals are not naturally resilient. Take for example infants. Infants have a wonderful ability to adapt to their environment, to change and move according ...

1 A I agree with Joh (2004)’s idea that there is a new silver platter doctrine in the making. Here, private cops now have the ability to present the “silver platter to local, state, and federal public policing agencies. Now, this doctrine focuses on the fact that private officials can turn over evidence to their federal counterparts without much regard to suppression even if the former obtained this information through illegal search processes. In essence, the doctrine does not allow public police agencies to conduct unreasonable search and seizure activities. Thus, all pieces of evidence obtained using this ...

Prejudice and Bigotry in the Matter of Interracial Relationships Despite the fact that economic and social disparities between black and white Americans disappear gradually, situation in the sphere of inter-racial marriages is quite different. Even the United States today are the very segregated society in many respects. The most interesting indicator of segregation in American society is interracial marriages. At the end of the 17th century, slavery in some southern US states was replaced by indentured servitude (black worker was obliged to work on his master a certain amount of time, typically from 4 to 7 years, without receiving ...

Introduction

The Americans have been proud regarding the relationship of their military sector and the civilians throughout the history. One of the major reasons why United States takes pride to this relationship is the subordination of the military sector to the authority of the civilians. The military-civil relationship in the United States is based on the doctrine about the civilian control over the military. This doctrine states that the control over the strategic plans and decision-making processes which could generally affect the whole nation should be in the hands of the civilian leaders and not the military leaders.

I agree with your opinion that Google is likely to have a data monopoly. As a matter of fact, the company is not a pure monopoly but has a monopoly on data. The company is distant from a monopoly in terms of the whole range of internet services (Investopedia, 2015). Most of the people prefer Google in searching the web to its competitors including Bing and Yahoo, among others due to the extensive availability of information it offers. It boasts of offering some of the most well-liked digital products. According to Martin (2015), Google’s search engine has turned ...

For a long time, art and culture of the peoples of Africa remained a mystery to the rest of the world. The study of culture and art of the peoples of the African continent has discovered their unique traditions and way of life. Masks and weapons make the basis of their culture. These so-called artifacts are present in every village and every African city. It is impossible to imagine Africa without masks; they reflect the uniqueness and originality of the local customs and beliefs. Unfortunately, African wooden sculpture is poorly preserved in the hot and humid climate. That is ...

A bicameral parliament is a system of the legislative branch of the government made up of two complimentary houses that work together to pass laws. This system of parliament ensures that both the citizens and the government are adequately represented in the house and that sufficient consultations are made before any bills are passed into laws. In the case of the United States, the Senate embodies the interests of the state whereas the House of Representatives exemplifies the views of the country population as a whole (Moran 1895). The modes of qualification into these houses vary from one nation ...

Plantinga’s discussion considers science as a quasi-religion and justifies his assertion by observing that the former performs the cognitive function of the latter. In this regard, he argues that an individual’s beliefs regarding the world cannot be explained through natural selection unless such views affect their behavior. Plantinga advances three premises against science, one of which is that humans are incapable of making reliable beliefs. He also claims that natural selection has no ability to form true beliefs because it favors superior behaviors. Accordingly, he suggests that natural selection does not favor true non-adaptive beliefs over the ...

In the medieval period, the cornerstone of different Kingdoms was based merely on their particular religious beliefs. Inquisition refers to the process of enforcing one's religious and moral principle to individual and using mechanism such as torture to ensure all the set principles have been conformed to. Therefore, it is worth noting that, religious factors are the underlying reason that led to the breakout of the of the Spanish Inquisition, which began in 1231 AD when the pope appointed an inquisitor general during the reign of Henry III of Castile and Leon in the year 1390-1406 (Rawling 192).

The Mawangdui tomb paintings has been analyzed very carefully by a number of experts who have different interpretations based on the belief systems prevalent at the time of Lady Dai's life and death. Given how rich Chinese history is, in terms of its beliefs, there are a number of texts and sources that can be used to explain this four-layered coffin and that has become the subject of much debate (Holloway). In the first reading, the question as to why paintings are even kept in tombs is asked and where one reaches the conclusion that it is probably assumed ...

The most interesting point besides the argument is that according to the author there is a division between morality and politics. It seems that in their opinion that there is too much focus on people being able to live a bare life rather than a life that is happy, and free of inequality and poverty. Instead of just focusing on allowing people with life-threatening diseases/ injuries in the country, the French government must realize that their help is not solving the underlying issues that have caused people to be desperate enough to cause injury to themselves. There needs to ...

This article will explain on how aspects of socialization such as family, friends, school and religion impacts on a person.

Literatures generally show evidences about the factors that determine social status in a specific time and place. In the story, The Village Headman and the New Teacher, it shows that in Late Imperial China, those who are rich or who have a position of leadership were regarded highly by other people in the village. People who held a leadership position can give orders and were readily obeyed by their helpers. For example, when Xia, the new village head called for his helper to take his donkey, the latter willingly obliged. Moreover, the high opinion of the leader translates to ...

Psychology of Human Sexuality

Psychology of Human Sexuality The sexuality of a human being is an uncertain thing. Physically, it is determined at the conception of the child, as the X and Y chromosomes will reach a configuration that will allow the newly formed organism to be classified as male or female. The genitalia however that are so vital to many in determining whether one is a boy or a girl will not be visible until upwards of 17 to 20 weeks during a pregnancy. The physical sexuality of a person is determined early on in life, but the overall gender they allude ...

Whenever individuals come into contact with any type of stimulus in the environment, it results in a change in their actions and attitudes. This particularly holds true in the case of marketing stimuli. Perceptions about product quality are largely based on our own understanding and opinion about what value a particular brand can deliver. For instance, watching a television commercial of a new smartphone is not sufficient to convince a person to go out and purchase it. Equally important is for brands to select the most appropriate medium (television, radio, print, billboards or digital) in order to ensure that ...

Culture: Multicultural Issues in Corrections

Question One Correctional officers must strive to build rapport with inmates from all backgrounds while remaining neutral to all backgrounds. I would create rapport with inmates from diverse cultures by providing innovative and bold leadership through cross-cultural knowledge and advocacy, respect, and empathy for various cultural perspectives. Furthermore, I would incorporate conceptions of cultural diversity to improve the spirit and harmony at the correctional facilities. I would try to learn some of their cultural practices and values so as to know how to deal with them based on their cultural inclinations (“National Commission on Correctional,” n.d). Yes, cultural competence ...

For my comparative essay I decided to take next songs: No Doubt – “Just a Girl” (1995) and Colbie Caillat – “Try” (2014). I was thinking a lot about the topic of these songs. It seems to be that they are about gender or sexual identity, because each of these songs is about girls imagine. But after listening to the lyrics several times I understood both of songs describe gender identity. These songs are about girls but very different images of girls. The first song by band “No doubt” tells us about typical American girl of middle 90: she has her ...

Family Rights

1. Polyandry relationships provide for marriage system in which a woman can have more than one husband. Speaking from the historical perspective, the emergence of such marital arrangement in Tibet is related to the fact that the social system compelled marriage within a social status category.To understand the Tibetans' practice of polyandry, "it must be realized that Tibetan families consider it of great importance to keep together, without any division, whatever property they possess" (Prince Peter of Greece and Denmark, 1962, p. 414). That is the reason why husbands are often brothers or close relatives, which is referred to ...

Cultural competence in medicine is the ability of health facilities and health professionals to take into considerations the cultures and beliefs of other people apart from one’s own (Horvat, Horey, Romios, & Kis‐Rigo, 2014).

Introduction5 Literature Review..6 Conclusion....11 References..12 Abstract Negative (opposing or intimidating) events arouse robust and speedy physiological, rational, emotive, and social reactions. This organization of the organism is accompanied by physical, cognitive, and interactive results that diminish, lessen, and even wipe out the influence of that incident. This array of mobilization-minimization seems to be bigger for undesirable events than for unbiased or positive happenings. Hypothetical explanations of this response form are reviewed in this paper. Further, it will give a verdict on whether negative bias has been helpful or harmful to the process of human evolution. It is established that ...

1) Theories are to concepts as hypotheses are to variables. Hypotheses depend on tests that suggest multiple variables. On the other hand, theories are made up of concepts ("Theory and Practice of Social Research" 4). 2) Does a hypothesis propose a relationship between dimensions or variables? Yes. A hypothesis depends on the link that exists between two or several variables. Whereby, a slight change in variable ‘A,' leads to a change in variable ‘B.' In this case, it can be almost predictable that if the first event occurs on the first variable, then we expect variable ‘B' to ...

Is Hand washing more effective in Infection Reduction versus Gel Hand Sanitizers?

Is Hand washing more effective in Infection Reduction versus Gel Hand Sanitizers?

Introduction

Today, the burden of health care-associated infections (HCAIs) are drawing attention not only from governments and health care regulatory bodies but also from patients and more so from health care practitioners (HCPs) themselves. This phenomenon is not merely because of the magnitude of the problem regarding the associated incidences of mortality, cost, and complexity of treatment, and morbidity, but also due to the growing recognition and understanding that, most of these complications are preventable. The medical fraternity is thus witnessing in tandem unprecedented improvements in the spread ...

There are so many nurses in the country, so people might think that their voice would be clear and heard out loud. However, that is not the case. It is not always easy to talk about issues, especially if it would have a direct effect on your job. I have to agree with Garon. According to Garon, it is important that nurses realize the need to speak up and be heard at work. It is important not just for the satisfaction at work, but also to have better team work and to provide outmost patient safety. (Garon 2012). I ...

The legalization of Euthanasia is an ethical concern in Canada. Euthanasia refers to the process of medical assistance in dying. It is one of the easiest methods to terminate the life of a person who may be having a terminal illness like cancer and HIV/Aids in their lasts stages. However, some people argue that the individual must be sure that they have to die in the end. Recently, the Canadian legislator changed the rule and advocated for euthanasia among the terminally ill patients. The law is unethical as most people do not identify with the effects of the law ...

One of the predominant elements of the 2016 Presidential election in the United States was the ways in which the American press underestimated the appeal that Donald J. Trump had, first among Republican voters in the primaries and then among American voters in the general election. National polling had the Democratic nominee, leading Trump by a significant enough percentage for the media to assume that Clinton would end up winning the election. Despite winning the popular vote, though, she failed to carry several states that had voted Democrat for more than three decades, and those electoral votes gave the ...

The media interview is a delivery method that can be used to disseminate important health information to the public (Craig, 2010). There are various forms of interviews such as the face to face, telephone, messenger and the e-mail interviews. Writing and presenting a media statement on nursing may raise the interests of the public in what the opinions or discussions of the media are. During such occasions, questions are asked and answers are anticipated. Nonetheless, one must not answer all the interview questions but rather re-direct them to the nursing information that should be passed to the public.
