Staff

One of the crucial objectives for the health care staff in Kenya is to improve the medical conditions in the rural area. The thing is that, compared to the developed countries, the number of rural health care workers in Kenya is extremely low. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the number of workers in the rural areas. The indicator for this objective is the exact number of doctors and nurses, working with 10 000 rural citizens. In Australia, this number is 29, while in Kenya – only 1 (World Health Organization 91). Therefore, it is necessary to increase the number ...

Broadly speaking there are two kinds of crimes that are committed against a state, county or city. The two categories are blue-collar crimes and white-collar crimes.

Today, these kinds of crimes are the kind of crimes attributable to rage or emotion (even though there are exceptions) and which entail the use of violence.

Made In China: Chinese Artistic Representations of Capitalist Consumption

In this exhibition, themes of appropriation and authenticity play themselves out in the works of Chinese artists Ai Wei Wei, Tamen, and Liu Bolin. Ai Wei Wei challenges us to reconsider what is authentic and what is consumerism. Liu Bolin’s works represents consumerism in the style of the vacation postcard — except in his photographs, the figure is camouflaged, evocative of the notion of China incorporated into a culture, but not identified. Ta Men’s paintings evoke the original anecdote of authenticity and food in the North American imagination. Chinese art that represents capitalist consumption brings to mind two ...

Introduction

Medical identity theft and data security breaches have become quite commonplace these days with thousands of reports registered every year. As healthcare management grows increasingly reliant on computerized patient record, more of such issues concerning privacy, security and confidentiality breaches are coming to the fore. The total automation of patient record makes the confidentiality of information vulnerable to unauthorized access and therefore nurses and physicians who have authorized access to the information should be more responsible for keeping the data secure from all kinds of insidious infiltration. Unauthorized access is not the only security challenge facing the healthcare management. ...

[Professor]

A woman is always considered less and is demeaned in this male dominating world. The play A Doll’s House by Henrik Ibsen is a good portrayal of feeling of a woman.

Torvald treats her as a child and does not give her proper care as a wife needs. The entire story gets a new turn when Nora encounters Krogstad, who start blackmailing her.

Question a

A questioned document is defined as any handwriting, signature, typewriting, or any mark whose source is doubtful (Hilton, 1992). The theory of comparing handwriting is developmental. It is important to examine the original documents rather than copies because details like indentations and pressure may not be identifiable in copies. Therefore, use of copies in a questioned document may not give positive conclusions. In the case of photographs, an original one can reveal more details on magnification. Copies lose vital information, and they show image distortion when enlarged (Hilton, 1992). A questioned document may also prevent positive conclusion because it may ...

Introduction

While many certainly agree that white collar crime presents serious legal issues the sociological implications, regarding deviant behavior, is not always obvious. No discussion inspires a proper balance for analysis without a relevant definition of our terms. According to a ‘Sociology’ glossary, published by the McGraw-Hill Higher Education (2014) group deviance is defined as “Behavior that violates the standards of conduct or expectations of a group or society.” The same glossary defines the concept or theory ‘anomie’ as a Durkheim term for “the loss of direction felt in a society when social control of individual behavior has become ineffective” (“Sociology Glossary,” 2014). In an effort ...

Scandals break a politician’s reputation, mostly because the public looks up to them and becomes doubtful of the politician’s credibility, once they’re publicly humiliated and exposed. Hence, these individuals need to conduct themselves in a way that suits them best. It is also certain that scandals often affect a politician’s reputation more than anything and usually damage hard earned reputation for good. This happens mostly because a nation, which constitutes of the common man, tends to look up at these public figures.

Similarities between Torvald Helmer and Nils Krogstad

Torvald is an executive who has received a promotion at his bank where he works with Krogstad. Over the storyline, Torvald admits to have studied with Krogstad in his childhood but they this does not make them friends (Ibsen 2010). In fact, in the play they are portrayed as different identities of men in the society. However, they do have similarities. The first similarity is that the two men have a very shallow view of the society. All their efforts in the play are dictated by how they are viewed in the society. Torvald is a proud representative of the middle-class ...

The main difference between the two interrelated terms, fraud and abuse is the intent that influences the actions that are termed as fraud or abuse. Fraud connotes the intentional misrepresentation of facts or deception with a view to misleading another for gain while in the full knowledge of the falsity of such misrepresentation. It follows, therefore, that innocent misrepresentation cannot amount to fraud. On the other hand, abuse consists of actions that are inconsistent with the accepted norms and standards in a societal setting. These actions may result in unnecessary expenditures for an organization and may also involve immoral acts on ...

Overview of the case

While the three actors in this case scenario can be prosecuted for various crimes, the legal positions of their convictions are entangled by the fact that the doctrine of complicity plays a prominent role.

In such a crime, the accomplice could be held guilty of a greater crime than the accomplice (Kut 214). However, it is essential ...

Introduction

The Oxford dictionary defines a “play” as a “dramatic work for the stage or for broadcast” (2012). We also know that the term is also used to indicate moments of fun and enjoyment. The evolution of drama and theatre can be traced back to the Greek period where it emerged in close relation to religion and rituals of the time. F.L Lucas in his interpretation of Aristotle’s “Poetics” explains how the drama at that time was similar to rituals and sacred mysteries as they provided a different kind of purification to the spectator by means of thought provoking stories and visual ...

In recent decades feminist critics have attempted to appropriate A Doll’s House as a feminist text, but they have been met with a barrage of criticism from some critics who prefer to stress other aspects of the play. In one sense to call it a feminist play is, of course, an anachronism, since the feminist movement did not begin until the late 1960s and early 70s, but, nonetheless, Nora’s abandonment of Torvald and her children at the end of the play can still be seen as a rebellion against the prevailing patriarchal values of European society.

In this research paper on ...

At the beginning of the play it rapidly becomes clear that Nora’s husband Torvald Helmer is very dominant and that he treats Nora like a child. It is interesting that this takes place at Christmas, a time devoted to the pleasing of children and a time of dreams and fantasy, for Nora is essentially trapped within a dream world where everything is safe and things are just how they should be. This is essentially because she relies upon her husband to protect her from the vagaries of the outside world with its harsh realities and risks. To a certain extent it could be ...
