Outbreak of Rift Valley Fever in South Africa

Introduction
Rift Valley Fever (RFV) is viral disease that affects animals but can be transmitted from animals to human beings. To be more precise, it is a zoonotic arthropod-borne germ that leads to stern mortality and morbidity in both livestock and human beings. It is usually spread by Culex or Aedes mosquitoes. The disease was first discovered in Kenya around Lake Naivasha in 1915 following deaths of many sheep in a farm.

Islamic Environmental Ethics

Introduction
The new technological developments increase mobility as well as comfort, but might have major harmful effects to the environment besides risking human health. The harmful effects of technological developments to the environment have resulted in what many have termed as environmental crises. The environmental crises are a threat to human beings as well as other living organisms. The existing evidence shows that the technical solutions have essentially not been resulting in outcomes that are satisfactory. Thus, it is critical for us to know how we should behave towards the environment. It is worth mentioning that, among the theoretical Continue reading...

Language acquisition denotes the procedure by which humans gain the ability to recognize and understand language, along with the ability to create and make use of words and sentences for the purpose of communication.  Language acquisition is considered to be one of the exemplary human qualities,
Philosophers in early societies were concerned in how humans gained the ability to comprehend and create language well ahead of experimental methods for trying those theories that were developed. However, for the major part they seemed to consider language acquisition as a division of man's ability to gain information and become skilled at Continue reading...

Technology: Does Internet Really Threaten Human’s Intelligence?

I love the piece from the first look. The color of the piece is good, the size and even the shape. The piece is impressive and beautiful. At first, the image is a bit confusing as what the photographer was taking, and what the piece really represents or looks like. I’m viewing the piece from a book, a collection of pictures from Edwards Weston. The picture is three dimensional (3D). Weston took the picture by placing the pepper in the opening of a funnel. By placing it in the opening of a funnel, the image could be lighted Continue reading...

Abstract

There is an increased case of terrorist activities in the world in the past decades. The results of such attacks have been tremendous as the case in America 2001, and Kenya 1998 both of which targeted American citizens. Due to this, there is an increase in the war against terror in the world. There are laws in different countries aimed at deterring the occurrence of the terrorist activities, but this does not seem to work. It thus led to strict actions that have been criticized strongly by human rights bodies as amnesty international, human rights watch, among others. This Continue reading...

Judging this conflict using the philosophical article of Rousseau ‘discourse on origin of inequality’

Rousseau’s philosophical article discourse on the origin of inequality was an attempt to analyze the source of evil and inequality that have been boggling man since his existence in this world. Rousseau in his article wrote that the very evil that faces humanity has originated from selfish behavior of the natural man. To him the man who first installed boundaries on his perceived property became the source of all evil in the world today. In this article Rousseau, wrote that life was initially good when people just had enough to make them survive and enough personal space. The Continue reading...

The following is a layman’s version on the processes that produced the first intelligent, sentient creature, the human being. The paper will address the time through the forest- savannah transition in east Africa and through to the first hand axe and spear making, a period of approximately three million years ago. The paper will propose probable events that might have occurred during that time. The pre-human ancestors went from among the weakest and defenseless prey on the plains of African grassland to the voracious terror of the modern world, within an interval of approximately one million years. How Continue reading...

Nuremberg trials are trials that were set after the Second World War. The reasons that facilitated the setting up of the trials was the fact that the war had been witnessed by individuals who had substantively contributed to the war. In this case, many people had suffered. In most instances, several deaths were witnessed within a very short period. In this instance, German town of Nuremberg was selected to be the center that was to spearhead on the trials that were to be conducted. In this regard, it is true to note that, the genesis of the occasion of Continue reading...

The world wide use of robots and the application of robotics science is not a new phenomenon. Over two centuries ago, more than 70% of Americans worked at farms. With the rapid change in technology during the period of the Industrial Revolution, a new era began; The Age of Robots. A robot is a virtual or mechanical artificial being that is controlled by a computer program or electronic circuitry. The technology that deals with the construction, application and operation of robots and their operating computer system is called Robotics. With the advancement in the science Continue reading...

Not many thinkers in the history of the western civilization have been more cited than Plato. For the most part of the middle ages, the majority of lines of thought were developed around his philosophical arguments. Either to defend him or to contradict him, the new ideas could not get rid of his influence. Christianity was almost uniquely influenced by the works of Plato until at least the thirteenth century .
One of the most important parts of Plato´s works is his theory of Ideas. This was an attempt to make a distinction between two things that were his Continue reading...

Religion has been seen as disempowered and in decrease in the cutting edge world, its implications no more applicable inside the overwhelming mainstream perspective and institutional temples losing control of social life to common bodies (i.e., secularization, privatization). However religion (or secularization) may not be so static or bound together a marvel as awhile ago thought (this may be an outcome of advanced Western inclination, as, for instance, Talal Asad contends; of the (liberal) separation of social order, dividing the religious and the common, characterizing the previous as bound together conventions concerned with profound, private convictions, not handy, open Continue reading...

The heart has its reasons which reason does not know. This is a statement that appears to be simple, but is quite the opposite taking into consideration its deeper meaning. This is a statement by blaise Pascal while trying to describe the path to ethical truth. The question thus arises as to exactly what blaise Pascal is referring to when he says the heart and what is the motivation behind this particular choice of words. Emotionally the heart is associated with decisions that are inclined towards truth and right. The heart thus has a moral compass that is ever Continue reading...

Health research methods and ethics

Introduction
Question A
Chin and Lee (2008) explains that the ethical principle of respect for human participants in research studies involving human beings as the study subjects requires that the research participants be informed about the results of the study upon completion of the research. By doing so, the human subjects would feel respected and valued and not merely used or abused for the sake of achieving a particular medical objective. In application of the principle of respect, the ability of the individual to make own choices and decisions should be considered as Gallin and Ognibene (2012) corroborates. However, Continue reading...

I think the ones who leave Omelas go to far away cities and villages because they would not desire to be associated with the place where a child is imprisoned and made to suffer for the benefit of the community (Le Guin 115). It is possible that the neighboring cities are not filled with the kind of joy that is found in the Omelas. Even so, those exiting from Omela would rather stay in a place that is not as Utopia and delightful as Omelas as opposed to living happily at the expense of an unfortunate child. The Omelas Continue reading...

One of the central questions of philosophy has always been a debate as to whether or not humans are free to make their own choices, or whether or not the causality of the external world affects are ability to make choices. This question is important because it underlies the centrality of what it means to be human and how culture is constructed. If freedom to make choices exists, then institutions such as prisons are just, because they punish on the basis of the assumption that someone who has committed a crime was acting freely and of his own violation. Continue reading...

INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

An organization structure explains in which the activities in an organization are allocated, supervised, and coordinated in order to achieve the goals of the organization. The structure of an organization depends on the type and the market structure of the organization. It is usually developed depending on the firm's objectives as it helps in determining the ways in which the operations in the business will be operated and performed. The structures allow the business management in determining the ways of allocating responsibilities to the various functions that are available and the different entities in the business such as the Continue reading...

When many people think of satire, they understand that it is a subversive approach to a certain social or political issue through the use of irony. Works like the Earl of Rochester’s “A Satire Against Reason and Mankind,” Jonathan Swift’s A Modest Proposal or John Dryden’s MacFlecknoe all make fun of some perceived failing of its audience, whether it be the “Satire’s poking fun at rationalism and reason, Swift’s pointing out of the problems facing Ireland as a result of English ignorance, or Dryden’s ridiculing of his contemporaries’ inadequate literary criticism. However, to Continue reading...

Human resource management is one of the most fundamentally-important parts of an organization or corporation-- and, strangely, until relatively recently in human development, it was also one of the most undervalued and ignored. Human resources management is the area of study that deals with the maximization of employee performance and employee resources within an organization; it is also the force that deals with the individual, personal side of business. There are always going to be conflicts and interpersonal issues within a company, and it is the task of the human resource management system within that organization, whether the organization Continue reading...

Exoskeleton is a device designed to increase human muscle strength due to external skeleton. It replicates human biomechanics to scale up efforts in movements and can be integrated into a suit. Actual working models are now developed in Japan and the United States.
The first exoskeleton was co-developed by the General Electric and the United States military in the '60s, and was called Hardiman (Kong and Jeon, 2006). It could lift up to 110kg with a force applied at the lifting of 4.5 kg. However, it was impractical because of its considerable weight up to 680kg. The project was Continue reading...

Capital punishment uses death penalty as a form of punishment in many states and countries. It is a practice that has raised endless questions all over the world. Capital punishment or death penalty policy has changed in many countries overtime. Countries such as, New Australia, Zealand and 15 states in the US do not have capital punishment. One of the major concerns arising with capital punishment is because it causes ending of a human life. People and organizations of different backgrounds are not pleased with the practice because it undermines humanity. Society being mixed of different people there are Continue reading...

Introduction

Information technology has come to unify the larger society into one functional unit. It has made work easier for people in all fields ranging from, health education, communication, entertainment, business, to mention but a few. In a great extent, the world of business has benefited in abundance from the rapid explosion of information technology. However, in critical thinking, there are various concerns that information technology has brought especially in business. This has made many people wonder whether technology advancement has come to assist or destroy human activities in business and social life (Healey, 2011). For the purpose paper, it Continue reading...

Six word memoirs pose the ultimate challenge for the verbose and a win-win game for the succinct, with every expression précised very neatly to create an indelible picture on the reader’s mind.
Who can format Earnest Hemingway’s pearl “For sale: baby shoes, never worn”, without hesitating over the pathos: that wrench on the soul of the parent who placed this advertisement – selling off eagerly bought shoes of a babe-yet-in-the-arms.
What does "Followed rules, not dreams. Never again" suggest? To my mind, it is a warning: that rules will not allow you to achieve what you set Continue reading...

Introduction

Golden Rice refers to the rice that was developed by scientists for the purposes of supplementing the need for vitamin A. The reasons behind the efforts that were marshaled to push for its discovery were along realms of the urgency and the need to salvage the effects of lack of Vitamin A in most foods (Schulze).

I have chosen to discuss Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligences. Gardner says that intelligence is the ability of a person to understand the world around them and also to solve all kinds of issues including environmental, cultural social ones. According to his theory, "we have eight different forms of intelligence, each relatively independent from the others: musical, bodily, kinesthetic, logical-mathematical, linguistic, spatial, interpersonal, intrapersonal and naturalistic"(367). There is also the 9th intelligence that he presents. It is the ability to be sensitive to have a deeper devotion to understanding the tenets of human existence. This intelligence goes Continue reading...

Body language

Body language is an essential part of communication. Human beings pass most of their communication through body language. The human mind is wired to decipher the non-verbal cues passed by the body before the mind interprets the audio signals produced by the mouth. People can communicate through nonverbal cues without uttering a single word. Body language entails facial expressions, gestures and body posture. The three non- verbal cues make an integral part of the body language. Body language is the most common means of communication; however, body language is understood by few people in the society. There some common Continue reading...

Waiting for Godot

Waiting for Godot by the Irish writer Samuel Becket is a powerful play attesting to the inevitable suffering inherent in human existence. The play depicts this agony even more poignantly by the fact that it is devoid of a well-organized plot and a conventional setting: “A country road. A tree” (Act 1). This is all the setting there is. .Devoid of these familiar elements, the audience or reader has no choice but to face one of the most fundamental elements of the play: an endless wait. As the play opens, the audience or reader meets Estragon, or rather Gogo, Continue reading...

Jean Watson’s Theory of Caring

The caring theory can be described as a philosophical and moral basis for professional nursing and the disciplinary level which is the central focus. This theory offers a framework that will embrace art, science, humanities and nursing which is growing as a central to human phenomenon of nursing practice. Watson (1997) notes that in the current evolving phase and the ideas that were originally developed offer others a chance to evaluate and review how one may find self within the framework or the developing ideas relating to their own theories of caring practice.
Describing the role of nurses involves Continue reading...
