In the case of miscommunication, it means that the team may not achieve its optimum objective of saving the lives of the affected individuals. Thus, proper communication tools have been designed over the years to support communication during such processes (SAFETYINFO.COM, 2014). The two-way-radio has been one of the inventions that have become crucial in evacuation procedures. However, it has not been without its challenges. These challenges ...

The stand your ground law is a type of jurisdiction in which, individuals are given the right to use force in the event they are in danger or approached by such circumstances. The law does not provide any statute for the evasion of such circumstances but allows for the individual to counteract the force with an equal measure of force. When this law is reviewed with respect to the humanitarian perspective of human rights, it is considered as a wrong undertaking. As a matter of fact, I consider this law as a discriminative law and violate the natural course of life forms. There ...

For people who have a defined place in the society, good or bad - people who have jobs of any kind, or live with their families, or part of a cause - which is most probably most people, it would be hard to imagine what it is like to be displaced from a society and be flung into a place that does not know or need you. In a "normal" situation, we take for granted the relationships we have, even the slightest connections to old schoolmates or neighbors or even childhood acquaintances. We do not realize how much these relationships contribute to our sense ...

This was in Texas where a group of slaves worked in ranches. The period was the early nineteenth century. As was discussed above, cowboys mainly gained prominence in the late nineteenth century. Black slaves were mainly born into slavery, but they later gained a life away from slavery in the ranches. This is where the thesis of this paper is deduced. Black men became cowboys so as to avoid the discrimination and shame associated with ...

In this murky space where self-defense and aggression meet are “Stand Your Ground” laws. As the recent George Zimmerman-Trayvon Martin incident and subsequent trial has proven, Stand Your Ground” laws can ignite passionate debate about gun control, the right to defend property and self, race and other factors.

I once decided to make an impulse purchase of a camera that was selling at a cheap price. This was a bad decision because I did not have complete information about the item. The camera a reject from the manufacturer, and it affected my finances since it did not last long before it became faulty.

This is because NASA’s proposal identified the flyaway escape pods as prohibitively expensive and would cost $1 billion. They chose to use alternative emergency egress slide to save lives. If I ...

According to Laurence Perrine, there are two primary purposes for any literature – to entertain and enlighten. While entertaining is the easier part, Perrine opines that a literature should do more than just entertain, if it is worth scholarly scrutiny. Thus, a fiction can be categorized into escape and interpretive literature. An escape literature is one, which mainly aims at entertaining and intended as a time pass. Whereas, an interpretive literature aims at making the reader delve more intensely into the world around him. While an escape literature aims at taking its reader away from his world for a while, an interpretive literature takes ...

Social Psychological Principles in Real Life

The human mind is highly unpredictable and can be influenced by its surroundings quite easily. This has been proved many more times than one can count and it is conspicuous to one’s eyes in the manner people react to situations based on their social surroundings.

A chance meeting between two strangers that in the course of time develops into some form of relationship is perhaps a way to describe this. When to strangers ...
