The year of 2016 became critical in means of assisted dying issue for Canadian society, legislators and, of course, health-care professionals. The law, known as Bill C-14 (Chochinov & Frazee, 2016), grants permission for assisted suicide to patients who wish for death. However, certain strict terms condition this permission. The limitation of the patients’ access to the discussed medical service is a widely debated question. Many see it as deficient, sub-optimal, since the law does not assure equal rights to all citizens and far from everybody has access to assisted dying. In general, assisted dying has become legal in Canada, ...

Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans was first released in 1929, but the story itself feels as though it has been told time and again through the ages. In this film, a married man meets a woman—a dangerous, beautiful woman—who tries to lure him away from his dutiful wife. What begins seemingly as a crime story evolves into exactly what the title suggests: it is the song of two humans and their relationship to each other over the course of the film (Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans, 1929). It is important to note that Sunrise is ...

Why the War for Independence was Justified Rebellion?

The American Revolution or the War for Independence was a justified rebellion because people should be allowed to freely make their own choices within the boundaries of any governmental institution. The British government at the time had according to Thomas Jefferson become destructive of one’s right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. How unfairly it was for Great Britain to impose a tax on the American colonies? There was also no representation in parliament. This was unfair to the colonists, and it needed to be abolished. The politics of taxing the colonists would only benefit the ...

A Reflection on Human Nature

When The New Yorker published Shirley Jackson’s famous story “the Lottery” in 1948, American readers immediately backlashed against the author and the magazine because they found the topic of the story—a mass stoning of a housewife whose name was drawn at random from a lottery—extremely offensive and grotesque. Readers went as far as cancelling their subscriptions to the magazine and numerous threatening mails started pouring in, addressed to the author and editorial staff of the magazine. Readers were also offended because many easily recognized their rural communities and the typical activities conducted in these places such ...

For ageless times, it was found out how the physical environment influences the aspect of healing in people. In fact, about 2,000 years ago, Galen, who was an ancient Roman physician, noticed the healing power of the environment and thus, turned out to be the one with the highest survival rate of those who treated the gladiators of that time (Rubert, Long, & Hutchinson, 2007, p.27). In the same way, Florence Nightingale was also one of those who focused more on what the environment can contribute to health, and thus became a leader in the improvement of sanitation and ...

Rape is defined as a crime involving one person having sexual intercourse with another person without prior consent, which has most recently applied to male victims, but usually involves physical force or deception to get the victim to submit or become subdued. There are seven theories which describe and define deviant behavior including social control, functionalism, anomie, social disorganization, strain theory, critical theory, and stigma theory. It seems most likely the social control theory can better explain why rapists participate in their form of deviant behavior. This paper will analyze various articles discussing theories related to rapist behavior. The ...

Developing the question

The choice of the question “For hospitalized elderly patients how does hourly rounding compared to two hour monitoring help in reducing the occurrence of falls and their subsequent injuries?” was based on the need to explore the importance of regular and frequent monitoring for these patients to manage the cases of falls. There is enough evidence that supports that monitoring of these patients is the key to management of their healthy issues. It is important to know that patients in the geriatric care have unmet needs and they rely on the nurse to help meet these needs. These would ...

INTERNET AND DEMOCRACY

Internet and Democracy The internet has an impact on all aspects of life. Its impact on democracy is quite evident. Thus, the Internet should not be viewed as a single asset of interconnected computers with links and relevant protocols but a powerful tool that can impinge on almost every aspect of life. While some people may use it for different purposes, it can be said that the internet has a great effect on democracy. However, the biggest puzzle is whether it enhances democracy or contributes to its decline. However, most research carried out is rather normative as opposed to ...

During the late 1940s, America was made up of small rural villages, in which it was customary for the community leaders to construct civic gatherings, to draw the citizens together at a time when the world was at war with one another. People were encouraged to socialize through town activities that drew them together and create a stronger, more cooperative community. This was the main theme of Shirley Jackson’s “The Lottery”—a story centering on one of the rural communities in America during the 1940s. The story features a lottery being taken place in a community composed of ...

Many authors regard their work as being a single standalone piece of art. By this logic, it can be safe to assume that the authors work their literary pieces to stand out against similar genres of works. However, in some cases many different stories end up sharing the same motif and theme. In many cases like this, it is not because of two authors collaborating to come up with a theme, or lesson, to teach society but a stroke of luck. When forming their stories, authors use society around them to develop their characters, settings, and such so in ...

Introduction

According to Johnson & Rea (2009), bullying in the nursing workplace is a major problem. Based on the data collected by researchers, it is evident that 23.7% of the sample surveyed indicated that they had experienced workplace bullying in the last six months. The article by Johnson (2009) supports this viewpoint since it concludes that bullying is rampant and negatively affects nurses by demoralizing them and affecting their work performance. The most common form of bullying in the workplace is the use of power by superiors against subordinates. The definition of the word bullying means the use of superior strength ...

For most, the acquisition of language is one which happens automatically as a result of exposure to language spoken by our parents and then, at school, we are taught to develop our skills. This miraculously, sponge-like intelligence has long been the subject of many child development studies. However, when we come to learn a second language, for most of us, it is significantly harder: so, we employ a number of strategies to help us in our education, and teachers of second language students use a number of teaching methods too. Obviously, because of learning styles and varying academic abilities, some of these methodologies ...

Psychodynamics approach to personality development was extensively forwarded by Sigmund Freud and is based on the premise that an individual’s unconscious part of the mind harbors unrecognized desires, interests, motivation or drive and memories which are only expressed in dreams or unconsciously (Waddel, 2009). The approach suggests that there exists conflicts between the conscious and the unconscious part of the mind and lack of solution to these conflicts leads to anxiety and maladjustment. The approach describes the development of personality as being controlled by three distinct forces that is the id, the ego and the superego (Comer, 2004). ...

Q. 1. The first strategy Thomas Hutchinson or Samuel Adams likely used to develop and improve their thinking before taking a stand and acting on their beliefs is the skill of recognizing and assessing a problem through observation. For example, before Samuel Thomas opposed the Stamp Act, he actually knew the source and effects of the Act to him as a local writer. The second strategy they possibly might have used is the skill of laying a possible scheme, analyzing and interpreting possible implications of their actions. For example, the actions of Samuel Thomas and other radicals of preventing the unloading of the ...
