Essays on Fatalities

Ladies and gentlemen, in the words of Martin Luther King, “True compassion is more than flinging a coin to a beggar; it comes to see that an edifice which produces beggars needs restructuring.’’ In these wise words, Martin Luther appreciated the value of compassion; but he knew something more needed to be done. Settling veterans are an infallible sign of appreciation for the sacrifices that veterans make for the sake of the country. Today, San Diego is the sixth most populous domicile for homeless veterans. And, according to the State Department of Housing and Urban Development, the number of ...

Philosophy

The “Protect Familia” is a social service organization that intends to reduce and eradicate the practice of domestic violence in the global society gradually.

In the last years of the 1970s, there was global concern over the discovery of a deadly virus that resulted in outbreaks of a hemorrhagic fever in West Africa (Peters & LeDuc, 1999). The high rate of death and the contagious nature of the disease was a cause of concern to the international medical community and researchers combined efforts to discover the cause, etiology, effective therapies, and methods of control of what would come to be known as the Ebola virus. Although there have been few cases reported outside West Africa, the potential for the spread of the disease prompts ...

Dealing with matters concerning the abuse of children has been one of the more complex issues that both police and policy makers have had to face in recent years. The reason for this is that by law it is quite difficult to prove that there is sufficient abuse to justify infringing on a parent’s rights and separate them from their own child. That being said, separating a child from an abuse parent in many instances is the right course of action; however, it becomes a complicated legal battle to justify taking the child and also find a way ...

1. Introduction a. The outbreaks of the Ebola virus in West Africa have generated significant concern due to the high death rate and contagious nature (Peters & LeDuc, 1999). b. Differences in the fatality rates in Ebola infection over the last decades probably are a reflection of advances in diagnostic accuracy, proficiency in acute care stages, and identification of infection sources (Laupland & Valiquette, 2014). c. Although cases are rare and primarily confined to West Africa, there is concern of a possible pandemic secondary to ease of international transport of contaminated people and goods. d.

A Problem Exists

Riding motorcycles without a helmet can be equated to confronting a risk head on while hoping that chances will likely save you. The best way to stay safe is by preventing the risk in the first place rather than trying to find ways of reducing the impact of the risk. The numbers of motorcycle accidents over the recent past are evidence as to why all motorcycle riders should wear their helmets at all times when riding their motorcycles. Several studies have been conducted by different companies trying to look into the issue of whether the helmets have any correlation ...

In a construction project, several parties work together with the aim of achieving a particular goal. The means involved in the achievement of this goal presents several hazards that pose danger to human life.

These account for approximately 50% of all fatalities as well as injuries. This paper ...

Aircraft Cabin Safety

Accidents are complex systems that happen when multiple failures and factors accumulate and finally blow out of proportion. The failures and factors that accumulate are jointly sufficient to cause various types of accidents. Aircraft systems are complex systems that have the potential multi-causal conditions. The conditions rarely arise but when they do they create a possible trajectory for an accident. Most of the factors that cause these accidents are always present way before they are triggered and an accident occurs. Additionally, most of them are actually triggered by the organization of the system itself due to its design, the ...

Introduction to Manual

This manual comprehensively explores the impact of natural disasters on students. While the capstone provides a general account of the issue, it later focuses on the country of Saudi Arabia.

There are different scenarios that play out in this project. The focal point of the research is the goal in making sure children ...

Abstract

Consuming alcohol is considered a rite of passage for the average young individual. The minimum drinking age required to legally consume alcohol varies in each country, ranging from it always being legal to drinking being illegal at any age, but most countries have set the age at 18-19.

The influenza epidemic, for example, occurred repeatedly in the 20 th and 21st century, spreading across large regions and multiple continents. Influenza in 1918 killed an estimated 50 million people world wide. This was higher than the amount of people that died in World War I. About 500,000 fatalities occurred in the US which was approximately 28% of the US population at that time. The number of deaths that took place in 1957 and 1968 ...

Question One: Quarantine and Isolation

In the early stages of the emergence of infectious diseases, isolation and quarantine are in most cases the only and last resort used to control effectively and manage the conditions (Al-Ateeg, 2004). These methods are usually handy when there is a limited knowledge of a newly identified or an occurrence of a previously contagious disease that poses a serious public threat. While these methods are used to respond to emerging and re-emerging public health threats and protecting the public by preventing the exposure of the population who have or may not have contracted a contagious disease, there are significant ...

The current national drinking age of 21 years old is sensible. However, there are a number of people who are adamantly opposed to this law, demanding that the current legal drinking age be lowered to 18. While many people want the legal drinking age to mirror the legal voting age, and the legal military service age, lowering the drinking age to a mere18 years old will have dire consequences for everyone in the United States, especially teenage drivers. Each year, alcohol plays a key role in the number of deaths caused by teenage automobile accidents, killing almost one-third of ...

Electronic Dance Music festivals did not start off as it looks and feels today. Electronic Dance Music first began as an underground rave movement and were mostly small private affairs. The locations were often kept secret and were held in large, abandoned warehouses or any large, free and open space. What was underground in the 1980’s soon became a legitimate and huge music scene in the late 1990’s and 2000’s. This was a result of the change in nature of the genre as well as the possible revenues it could generate when legitimized. These new festivals ...
