Which of the two major political parties in the United States is most likely to face alignment in the coming years and why? In the USA, many voters tend to identify with one political party. It can be because of the party’s political ideologies or identifiable group factors such as ethnicity, religion, and socioeconomic classes. However, the loyalties may be changed and the voters gravitate towards the opposing party (Brooks). Party realignment occurs when a big bloc of voters who previously voted for one party does a massive shift to the rival party and remains with it for ...

Slavery was a part of the American culture for almost a whole decade (1776-1865), and during that time, many people had to suffer inhumanly for the only solid reason of being a bit different from someone else. There is no way of wiping the past from the memories of those who have struggled, which means that the terror of slavery will always be a part of the human history. As the experience shows, world history is far from being pretty. It has presented its evils so many times that merely counting them would take ages. Every major society, every ...

Bell Hooks’ decision to narrate the story of a black girl from Kentucky who belonged to a working class background and how life at Stanford shaped her world view, indicates the emphasis that she places on returning to her roots and staying true to them. Her parents were deeply concerned about how being amongst the more ‘privileged, white students’ would influence the personality of their young daughter. Hooks highlights the fact that children from a small town like Kentucky, particularly the African American families maintained a close-knit community, in which basic communication as well as deep-rooted respect of elders ...

Leadership qualities can be seen in many fields, from business to academics to politics. One man whose name is synonymous with political leadership was Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln was born in poverty in Kentucky in 1809, lived in cabins on the Kentucky and Indiana frontier, and was almost entirely self-educated. In fact, Lincoln taught himself the rudiments of law so that he could work as a lawyer and later as a legislator in the state of Illinois during the 1830s and 1840s. In 1847, he followed this with a short tenure in the United States House of Representatives where he ...

It must be mentioned that “not everyone who works in the sex trade is a victim” (Alter & Tsai, 2015). If we focus only on those who indeed were coerced to activities that did not want to do and suffered, the Module has raised a very sensitive and complex subject of human trafficking either for sex or labor purpose (“Module 002 [TRAUMA]”, 2014). It indeed made me realize many things about this global problem and showed that many victims suffer helplessness and despair. Moreover, victims are often afraid to address some help centers as they do not feel secure. Some ...

Human trafficking is the unlawful movement of people to exploit them for labor or sexual services (“What is Human Trafficking?” n.d.). Unfortunately, as technology progresses, perpetrators of human trafficking also find new ways to endorse their exploits (Yetter, 2015). Subsequently, there are also efforts made by authorities to persecute those who take part with human trafficking which victimizes many, including minors. This is not only an issue on a state level, but an issue on the national level as well since these people operate on a national and even international level using social media (Bisaro, 2016).

The United States sought to privatize prisons due to the cost of incarceration which had increased as a result of the increase in prison population.

Private prisons boomed in the United States in the 1980’s but this was not the

beginning of private prisons in America. States throughout America had privatized prison labor at various times throughout the nineteenth century. Kentucky was the first state to actually privatize the whole operation of a prison facility in 1825. Many states followed Kentucky, however, ...

RE: Overview of the Healthcare Information Exchange (HIE)

Healthcare Information Exchange commonly abbreviated as HIE is a system through which healthcare professionals share critical information about patients which will aid in the delivery of quality healthcare services (HIMSS, 2009). This exchange system is automated and managed by formal organizations called Healthcare Information Organizations (HIO) subject to state and federal laws. HIOs ensure that patient information is accessed and retrieved only by authorized users and the information is safely stored away from individuals who may use it for illegal purposes (HIMSS, 2009). Some of the information about patients that is shared include; laboratory reports, previous and current medications, ...

As noted by Mann (2014), more than 612 providers in Kentucky use the health information exchange with about 2,200 facilities. ...

Introduction

Developing a vision statement is probably one of the most important things an organization can do, right after identifying a philosophy that is true for all the organization's members. This statement of philosophy is reached by consensus, and is derived from individual ideas about nursing philosophy in general and how the individual perceives the organization and what is possible. A vision statement differs from a mission statement, a values statement, and statements in philosophy in several critical ways. A mission statement refers to the external (not individual) work that an organization does and relates that work to the larger ...

Introduction

The civil war was a fight over the state rights, and this claim can be supported by the idea that the thirteen colonies in America staged often defied the policies imposed by their mother country. The vast oceans that separated them from Britain served as a means for them to distance themselves from the monarchical rule and be independent in their way. Thus, the concept of state right was already observed even before the American Revolution and the Civil War. During the declaration of American Independence, there was also a need for the newly established national government to compromise ...

The kind of economic significance attached to wage differentials cannot be overlooked since they have a direct influence on the distribution and allocation of economic resources.

These differentials represent the variability and diversity of abilities of different workers both physically and mentally to contribute ...

While the Civil War may have legally ended slavery, remnants of slavery and racial animosity continued to exist, and perhaps still do, in many parts of the country. Even after the passage of the Reconstruction Amendments, which attempted to empower newly freed African American slaves and give them equal rights of citizenship, states managed to find ways to disenfranchise blacks from exercising their newly acquired rights of citizenship. Racial prejudice was especially pervasive in the South. The era of Jim Crow laws, which controlled nearly every aspect of Southern public life, maintained strict separation of whites and blacks (Welke, ...
