Biography of John Dewey

John Dewey is the American philosopher who can be seen as the leader of the pragmatism school of thought. This pragmatism school of thought is in essence the naturalistic view that knowledge surfaces when a human being actively adjusts to his surroundings instead of observing the world in a static, inactive manner (Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy). His philosophy is focused on stretching the mind in an active manner and experience. Dewey himself is evidence for the experiences, he has used theories of “modern biology, psychology, physics, and the historical sciences” (Hook, 2008, p.3). His influence from these theories and on these ...

Conspiracy theories and rumors are the creation of people who have extraordinary minds to exaggerate ideas and event happenings in a non-desirable or negative way. People who spread rumors tend to have a lack of education and wisdom. However, it is also observed that even education does not stop people from sharing information that is not even known to exist. Some people disseminate information while threatening about something such as GMO foods or weapons of mass destruction etc. Thus, it is a continuing practice in today’s world to speak without thinking and believing in things or rumors that do not exist ...

Abstract

While there is no profile of the attackers that use schools for unloading their guns, public opinion requests for gun control policies. The Presidency also considers that gun control is a requirement for protecting the safety of the children and the national security in United States. The recent gun attacks that occur in the United States, which fulminated with the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newton, Connecticut, have ...

Nobody hates looking at women’s funny character in movies. Something that mulvey well put across. The conditions of watching a move in the cinema gives authority to a voyeuristic spectatorship. All spectators are chirping characters taking pleasure and watching others while they remain unseen. In other fields, feminists have identified voyeurism as violence that is because of gender. The chirping character is most often a man-watching female without her knowledge. Most of the funny erotic scenes, you find a woman fully exposing her body and private parts but never will you find a man doing so. The power of the man’s look ...

In the recent past, school violence has been identified as a serious problem in several countries, and the problem has been made worse in the incidents where guns and knives are involved. Generally, the violence involves fights between students, as well as physical fights carried out on school staff. One form of school violence which has received a lot of attention from the media, as well as the public, is school shootings. This arises from the fact that school shootings pose a serious threat to public safety, and the stakeholders have a reason to worry about that. In the last decade, one of ...

‘Subject’ Gun control vs. gun right “We have to try and stop this. It will be a long journey involving the personal choices of individuals and families, public discussions, mental health reforms, a change in the culture – you name it.” “I want people to be afraid of the fact that this could happen to them.

The advertisement in context shows a girl in the foreground. She is held by a fishing hook. The picture is a bit appalling as one can see that the hook is tied to the mouth of the person in the picture and she is stuck. The picture makes it apparent that such a bondage to the fishing hook is really painful as it pulls the person forcibly and is distorting the facial structure and poise of the subject of the advertisement. She is painfully looking toward the place from where the hook is pulling her. The girl is shown in front of a white ...

Part I:

I believe that, despite the seemingly mercurial and boundary-less morality of Peter Pan, there are instances in which he shows himself to have a moral code. Even though he seems less restricted than many, and he is seen by Wendy and the others to be the stereotypical naughty boy, who never wants to grow up and always gets in trouble, he acts according to a code of ethics. He is dedicated to the protection of Wendy and the Lost Boys, and seems to be very kind to those for whom he feels responsible. He saves Tiger Lily from Captain Hook at ...

Bob Dylan’s song uses lyrics about to the divine in his song ‘With god on its side’. The title is also the main hook of the song as well demonstrating the importance of god and the divine. The use of a main hook line and title with the lyrics ‘God Bless the U.S.A’ is used by Greenwood in his song with equal importance. Both songs appeal to patriotism and the divine however the difference is that Dylan’s lyrics are satirical and don’t necessarily mean what they say directly. Greenwood’s language is not satirical and the listener ...

Pro Gun laws 2nd amendment There are no two arguments that America loves its guns. The history of this great country is full of episodes of guns being used to defend not just lives, but also defend the values of this land – liberty and equality. The second amendment too acknowledges the need for gun possession for ensuring safety of its citizens. But in no where, in the law books of this country, it is written that, guns should be distributed without any checks. Easier gun accessibility would increase the chance of gun distribution among criminals and the ...

Introduction

The Tea Party movement in the United States is greatly influencing the political agenda of the Republican National Party. Although the Tea Party movement did not get its running start until late 2009, the movement has gained great momentum since the midterm elections of 2010. Furthermore, the 2014 midterm election results on all three levels of government (national, statewide and local) reiterates the popular notion that the Tea Party movement fails to be merely a passing phenomenon, but is fundamentally changing the Republican Party (Hook 1).

The Tea Party is primarily made up of conservative and libertarian politicians, among the ...

Several states across America are proposing that school employees should be allowed to carry concealed weapons at school. This was prompted by the Sandy Hook mass murder. Twenty first-graders and six adult staff members were killed in mass murder at Sandy Hook Elementary School in the quiet village of Sandy Hook in Newtown, Connecticut on December 14, 2012. Adam Lanza, the man behind what is now considered the second deadliest mass shooting by a single person in American history, was reported to have killed his mother at their Newtown home before driving to the school.

In his novel, Peter Pan, J.M. Barrie presents his readers with a fantasy world named ‘Neverland.’ The properties of this place are that you must be a child to go there and that it exists outside of the solid, real world. The novel of Peter Pan discusses the idea of never growing up and maintaining child-like innocence for an eternity. Peter Pan, the character, does not grow up and his band of ‘Lost Boys’ are also permanently children. The obvious implication of this is that Barrie has carved out an allegorical message of why, as adults, it is ...

Medication errors are estimated to cause approximately 7000 deaths annually and cost approximately $2 billion in added health care spending. Improving the safety outcomes of medication-use processes in hospitals has been cited as a means of addressing this issue. Careful and planned use of information technology is a proven approach to solve a majority of medication errors made with paper-based systems (Paoletti et al., 2007). These systems have been found to provide much better compliance with the “five rights” of medication administration: right patient, right dose, right route, right time, and right medication (Hook, 2008). Accordingly, the present paper describes a test ...

‘Subject’ Should the US have stricter gun control laws? Guns have a special place in American history and Americans have always had a love for firearms. This love affair for guns started in the seventeenth century, when the early settlers were required to carry gun to protect themselves from Indian attacks. The ‘Kentucky rifle’ of the 1700s, Samuel Colt of the nineteenth century and WWII veterans bringing home their enemy guns as trophies are all symbols of the proud American past. However, the spate of recent mass shootings has called for a stricter regulation of gun ownership and distribution. The ...

Health Information Exchange In the U.S.

Introduction. According to the HIE directory “Health information exchange is the transmission of healthcare-related data among facilities, health information organizations and government agencies, according to national standards for interoperability, security and confidentiality.” After more than two decades of working to achieve effective and efficient health, this goal is still not fully actualized. The utilization of personal health information is still not fully exploited to support optimal care because the creation and storage of data is fragmented since information tends to be isolated within physician practices, hospitals, pharmacies, laboratories, or clinics. In an effort ...

Should the U.S. provide its citizens with universal access to health care?

Interestingly, the United States is the only industrialized and wealthy nation that is yet to provide free and universal healthcare to its citizens. By far, the US is the Earth’s richest nation. Great Britain, France, and Canada have been able to provide its citizens with universal health care. The current health care situation in the US is affected by restricted access to health care and escalating costs. Insurance coverage currently determines the coverage of US healthcare system (Clarke, & French, 2013). Majority of US citizens are covered ...

A Patient Centered Medical Home is an inventive medical program that aims at promoting and improving primary care for patients suffering from different illnesses. The program facilitates affiliations between patients and their personal health care providers (Stange, Nutting, Miller, Jaen, & Crabtree, 2010). The Patient Centered Medical Home plan incorporates the use of technology among other means to provide assurance to patients and their families. The fragmentation of New Mexico’s healthcare system is evidence that its citizens will be interested in accessing the Patient Centered Medical Home program, as an alternative source of health care. This is because the ...

Cigarette Advertisements: How They Hook Kids

Tobacco products are dangerous. Unfortunately, cigarette makers still target children through advertisement in order to keep their businesses going by appealing to future smokers. There are several ways cigarette companies use to appeal to children through advertisement, including advertising that depicts smoking as “cool,” sponsorship, and associating smoking with being grown up. Depicting smoking as being a “cool” thing to do is one method that cigarette companies use to get kids to try and become hooked on cigarettes.

Abstract

Gun control is one of the most important political issues of our time. It has been shown time and time again from unbiased studies that the correlation between gun ownership per capita causes homicide rates by guns to increase. The issue is muddled though because of the powerful gun lobby and a media that lacks in its journalistic coverage on the issue. These factors combine to bring The United States to it’s current political stalemate on the issue. Since the tragic events of Sandy Hook Elementary School on December 14, 2012, the issue of gun control has resurfaced ...

For many in the United States, the words “Gun Control” is a four-letter word that immediately causes their preconceived notions to surface and prevents them from logically looking at the issue. The polarization of gun-control in this country has evolved to a point where neither party, even the one with the most control in Washington is able to put fourth any legislation regarding this issue. This essay analyzes this phenomenon with a view to the historical context behind gun control and laws that regulate gun ownership in the United States. Everyone who has engaged in conversation or argument on the issue ...

Guns, and gun laws, are constantly at the center of the discussion when it comes to American politics. The NRA, led by Charlton Heston, champions greater freedom of gun ownership and claims this is something all Americans are entitled to under the Second Amendment. They seek to de-regulate gun ownership as much as possible, championing causes such as Concealed Carry in many states and also fighting gun legislation, such as the Brady Bill. However, movement is being made on the other side as well, particularly in the wake of tragedies in the recent past which include the Sandy Hook ...

Managing people is a complex task as there are no specific rules that could make sure that people would behave in the most appropriate manner (Henry, 1995). The behavior of the individual is difficult to predict and with organizations increasingly focusing on diversity in the workforce, this is creating more difficult for organizations to manage people. With more people belonging from diverse background in organizations today, it has resulted in increasing complexities in managing people (Foot, & Hook, 2011). Therefore managing workforce or people at the organization have become much more complex than it used to be few years back. ...

The Second Amendment, commonly referred to as the right to bear arms, is the constitutional provision that guarantees individuals the right to keep and bear arms. Even though in the text it talks of militias and people, the Supreme Court in the case of District of Columbia v. Heller interpreted it to also include the right of an individual to bear arms. The philosophy underpinning its inclusion by the founding fathers was the inalienable right of self defense and the duty of the citizen to act in defense of the state, whether in resisting oppression or external aggression (Johnson, ...

Summary and Annotation

Putting Walden’s philosophy and that of Henry David Thoreau, it is easy to notice the interconnectedness of their philosophies and their practicality. Both use metaphors that in the end become a philosophic system. Walden speaks about the relationship between man and his environment. Thoreau on the other hand demonstrates that human beings can overcome struggle that exists between the self and the society but then, nothing can be trusted if proof is not offered, “No way of thinking or doing, however ancient, can be trusted without proof.”(Hamby 1). These try to bring out meaning of the inherent things ...

Objective: Hook’s is a fundamental topic of physics and few divisions of engineering like Civil and Mechanical engineering. This law helps to perceive elastic property of a material. As per this principle of physics, force needed to compress or extend a spring by some amount of distance is proportional to the distance. If F is force and x is distance, then as per Hook's law, F = -k.X, where k is termed as stiffness and it is constant for a material rather the spring. Purpose of this experiment was to find spring constant (k).

Shobbit Shabhara’s case is not an isolated scenario. In fact, in most terror activities performed by individuals in the U.S., a similar pattern has been observed not only in the U.S. but in other parts of Europe where diverse cultures are common. The story of the Boston bombing where a pair of Chechen brothers from Dagestan developed a passion for terrorism after living in America for more than 10 years is just one example of how some individuals can be hateful even though the country has accepted them without hesitation. The United States was traditionally considered by social scientists ...

She conveys the main parts of the scenery very well -- boat, fish, water, and hook. Her description of the setting is visual. Her diction relates a sense of ease as she continues: "He didn't fight./He hadn't fought at all." She depicts ...

Perhaps no clause in the U.S. constitution has been so misconstrued and debated as the Second Amendment. In fact, even the Supreme Court could not make up their mind as to the true meaning of “A well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed”. A decisive interpretation to this clause has been quite elusive. Since its ratification, only a few cases have found its way to the Supreme Court while the court’s decision has not helped clarify the matter more than being ...

Introduction

Gun control is to decide who can own which gun under what circumstances and not to ban. Gun control becomes the most debatable topic because of the increase in crime rate due to misuse of guns or firearms.

Nowadays, gun accidents and murders are common, and it induces many to welcome gun control laws and policies. Because they think, gun control may reduce the crime rate to some extent. Many people are supporting anti-gun control because they ...
