Abstract

The process that led to the formation of the United States is more of a salad bowl than a melting pot; ethnic communities were not softly absorbed to the umbrella of American culture, but they rather coexisted in their individual identities, like ingredients of salad on a plate. The struggle of the African American is pinned on his slavery and the fact that he was sold to America for labor. It has been very hard for the African American to get assimilated, and the situation is still dire today, as racism is still rife. The underrepresentation in the Congress ...

In this essay, I will argue that the Ontario HPV vaccination program is ethically inappropriate and ineffective as a public health initiative aimed at combating cervical cancer.

As such, pro-vaccination arguments such as harm to others, harms and benefits, as well as best interests do not offer sufficient justification for the HPV vaccination initiative. Moreover, the critical consideration of issues such as social justice, adolescent sexuality, paternalism, and ...

Technology Use and Integration

While the use of technology is random, its integration is based plans and purposes.
