Florida National University is one of the leading universities in the region. While it is replete with many facilities, it glaringly lacks a chemistry lab. Online laboratory exercises are no substitute to the actual experiential learning in a chemistry lab. Reid and Shah argue that the absence of the laboratory experience may leave students with perceptions of chemistry that would be very ‘abstract and theoretical’. While students might perceive that the theoretical understanding is gained at a relatively slow pace through lab work, it is undoubtedly true that the knowledge gained would stand in good stead in future professional ...

This paper substantiates the insights espoused by Enrico Moretti that the level of economic success depends on a number of factors, such as: education, productivity, and salary. These factors related greatly to geography, that is, where you live and work (Moretti 3). According to Moretti, a worker’s educational level and skills will determine his salary and on the economic progress of other individuals around him/her. Depending on the geographic location, the economic success between two individuals shows significant variances. Workers in developed cities, where innovation proves to be the driver in labor productivity, earn up to three times ...

Skin cancer is a growing epidemic around the world and rates of incidence rise every year (between 1992 and 2006, the increase was up to 77%). Skin cancer is usually directly related to ultraviolet radiation, especially from the sun and tanning beds. Additionally, there is a misconception that winter sun is less harmful than summer sun, which indirectly leads to numerous cases of skin cancer. Many skin cancers are treatable if detected early; however, prevention of unsafe sun exposure would decrease the number of diagnoses. Nurse practitioners have a great role in health promotion and skin cancer prevention, simply ...

Maps can generally be described as representation of the real world through graphics. However, this representation is usually considered an abstraction of the real world phenomenon (Chorley and Peter, 48).

Maps can be used to represent various issues for instance: The distribution of human population, temperatures and other aspects of the environment. In the case of representing the distribution of nature in an accurate manner the following maps can be used:

While the allocation of tax dollars is a constant debate amongst Americans, regardless of legislative positions, the issue of welfare seems to be a particularly complicated one. To that end, many states (including yours) have instituted (or tried to institute) laws requiring welfare recipients to undergo mandatory drug tests. While this is an admirable idea in concept, the social and economic effects far outweigh any sense of moral righteousness one might feel for keeping welfare recipients in their place, as well as deals with unconstitutional ideas of unreasonable searches. To that end, I humbly propose that these programs be ...

I love to travel to different places, and Florida is a city that catches my attention in no time. The town boasts beautiful theme parks, including Universal Studios, top-notch malls, shopping centers, and exotic wildlife, but its beaches capture my heart. Relaxing waters, stunning sunrises and sunsets, and positive vibrations force me to spend time on these beaches again and again. However, it is unfortunate that global warming and changing climatic patterns are causing a grave threat to beaches, shore communities, and surrounding areas. Life has already been altered in many places, and a vast population has been rehabilitated owing to destructive ...

Bermuda Triangle is a territory in the Atlantic Ocean, where sometimes ships or airplanes mysteriously disappear.

There are a lot of people who think that the mysterious events in this area do occur, putting forward various hypotheses to explain them - from weather conditions to alien abductions or residents of Atlantis. ...

I started off my research by doing a random search on the internet because I wanted to have a wide view and research on the topic. But it was not at all easy because I did not have a direct lead to the subject because I had to go through books, journals and blogs in order to decipher what was directly related to my subject. This kind of research narrative is open ended and would be better if it was narrowed down to a specific topic or entry.

The Warren Court has been on the receiving end of both adulation and opposition for its improvised constitutional judgments and its contemplation of the judiciary ...

The objective of this paper is to understand and debate the arguments presented in the documentary “The Corporation”. After watching the documentary, I have selected three points that I will be exploring. What we find is that organizations get to be immensities. They get to be self-sustaining substances with one reason in life, and that is to develop and survive. It's kind of like that outsider plant in the Little Shop of Horrors - it simply needs to develop, and it says, "Food me, bolster me." Every enterprise has one reason, and that is to give esteem and ...

Christianity was not a popular religion than it is today. In fact, historians and theology scholars debate regarding the true nature of the Christian religion. Originally, they concluded it as a sect of Judaism1 since Jesus Christ was born a Jew. As a religious leader, He was charismatic, performed many miracles, and defended the poor as well as the oppressed. Through cultural diffusion2, the new religion gained a small but loyal group of followers such as the twelve apostles who would eventually travel the Roman Empire to preach His teachings and spread the awareness of the public to the Christian religion. History proves that ...

He adds that Obamacare suppresses employee wages and has created uncertainty in investment in the economy. Obamacare is the “greatest wage suppressor in the so called recovery age.” (Haberkorn, 2015 March 9). Bush’s alternative to Obamacare is the catastrophic health coverage.

Despite the fact that in 1996, Supreme Court Justice Scalia called single-sex education in public schools “functionally dead,” Single-sex education has become an increasingly popular model in schools since the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 was passed.

People do not normally find it very comfortable to deliberately put themselves into situations that cause difficulty, troubles, anxiety, or adversity. But sometimes it happens. How can a person ever become used to vicious, or inadvertent remarks, which lead to a reevaluation of decisions of character in the first place? Thinking about a defining moment when my character was tested really made me drink in what it means to be human. I was born in Florida, in the South and I suppose a product of the culture to a degree. As a gangly kid, quite tall and ...

One of the key essentials of a fair trial is availing legal representation to a defendant. This is embodied in the right to counsel. Basically, this right enables a defendant during proceedings to be aided by a lawyer at their own expense, or if unable to pay for one, at the state’s expense. The basis for this right is that a defendant may be greatly disadvantaged, especially in criminal proceedings, if they are deprived of legal representation.

The photomorpogenesis research project at Clemson University is very interesting. Photomorphogenesis means light-mediated growth, and photomorphogenesis research looks at how the manipulation of light sources effects plants. This regulation of plant growth is independent of photosynthesis and it is controlled by the pigment phytochrome. Phytochrome exists in two forms, Pr and Pfr and has peak absorptions at 660nm and 730nm red-range light. It’s the conversion of the pigment between the two forms that ultimately influences the plant growth, the morphology, flowering, and germination.

The photomorphogenesis research program at Clemson University was founded in 1985. The initial research ...

New York Times pollster Nate Silver was very accurate in his predictions throughout the election, and stated all along that Barack Obama was going to win. The 2012 election was only contested in about ten “swing states” such as Ohio, Virginia, Colorado, Florida and Nevada. He did not contest the election at all in most of the South, except for Florida, Virginia and North Carolina, and basically conceded states like Texas, Georgia, Mississippi and Oklahoma to Romney. In all of those Red States, the white voters overwhelmingly support the Republicans, especially against a black president, and there was no surprise ...

The characters in the short stories, “A Good Man Is Hard to Find” by Flannery O’Connor and “Young Goodman Brown” by Nathaniel Hawthorne allow their existence to be transformed by evil threats.

In the world of science and mathematics, much is made of the concept of proof. This proof has been used in these disciplines to separate belief from knowledge. However, belief and knowledge have different meanings in real life situations. One of the fathers of modern psychology, Carl Jung, strived to give the distinctions between knowing and believing. In his endeavors, he explained that, most of the human population mainly bases our lives on the beliefs of others. However, in the struggle for wholeness or individuation, we struggle so much in search of our own knowing (Walter, 1988). Different ...

It was started in 1869, and at first, it was supposed to be a ritualistic organization but due to the fame, it gained fame thus the members expanded especially in the 1880s.

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 ...

Prison Gangs Gang violence has been a reality of the American people since not long after the Revolutionary War, though at that time the legitimacy of the predominant gangs was in question. The resurgence of gang life didn’t occur until after the 1870’s and then escalated into the 1940’s, when crime rates soared thanks to a nation that had become largely divided thanks to several contributing factors such as race, ethnicity, money, and control over illegitimate businesses. It’s not entirely clear when prison gangs became such a notorious aspect of the penal system, but one thing is ...
