The Tokugawa Shogunate had been peaceful and prosperous for many decades. However, when things started changing, and problems arose, the Tokugawa Shogunate fell and lost its glory.

In this case, the leadership fell since the Emperor did more of the reigning than the ruling, which means that more power is bestowed on the Shogun ("Tokugawa Period and Meiji Restoration"). Aside from the internal factors, there were external ...

He defends, unapologetically the values of non-human animals and plants as well as other non-sentient life forms, ecosystems, species and the whole earth. He is forthright of his technique and the predicament of ...

Abstract

Christianity and Islam are both monotheistic religions with the same fundamental background, which are closely aligned as it relates to the presentation of the old testament, however, differing on points of the significance of Jesus and the path to salvation.

Abstract

Notably, interracial couples and their families have faced various challenges including rejection and being stereotyped. These challenges have resulted in increased trauma and developmental delays among interracial people. The most common misperception about interracial couples is that one partner is black while the other one is white. The rate at which interracial marriages are growing in the US has increased steadily. Considering that the United States legalized interracial marriages, a high growth rate in interracial marriage is a significant move. The demand for interracial counseling is expected to rise as the number of multicultural couples increase. Education of counselors ...

In the current paper, we will discuss the complications in removable implant prosthesis, fabrication, delivery, and function. For the purpose of understanding these topics better, we need to understand the basic concepts of dental implants first.

Abstract

The worldview of a person is their view and understanding of their entire existence, including the world they live in. Religious beliefs reflectcolor a person’s worldview very strongly. In a comparative look, Christianity and Sikhism have some commonality as monotheistic approaches to the world, in the necessity for moral and ethical behavior that is good, in seeking truth, and in serving an all-knowing God Wwho imparts some of that knowledge to mankind. However, there are noticeable differences in beliefs about death and afterlife, human definition, and the meaning of human history. These beliefs structure their worldviews ...

Brief overview of the theory Dorothy Johnson was among the first “grand theorists” with the views of a conceptual model (Callista Roy, 2013). Her model was the first to consider both the understanding as well as action in healthcare. Actually, the Johnson Behavioral System Model (JBSM) was developed from the philosophical ideas, theories, and researches, as well as thoughts of many years. The model is comprised of a behavioral system (person) that is present within an environment consisting of physical, interpersonal, and sociocultural components. These environmental components are necessary for better functioning of the behavioral system ( ...

“The ecological crisis is very real, and it is getting worse at exponential speed. However, there is a silver lining on the current cloud of global gloom: The ecological crisis is interconnected with a global economic, political, social, and cultural crisis due to the fact the treadmill of production is failing to meet most people’s needs. The failure of the old paradigm of constant economic growth, combined with the reality of constitutional democracy in nations like the United States, will lead people to take the political actions and support the public policies necessary to build a sustainable world”. ...

Never a spontaneous phenomenon, racism seems sparked often as an ideological view. Unlikely though it may sound, the white liberal government instituted what continued for over 40 years. Characterized by segregation and violence in response to any opposition, the order came to its end. While in the transitional period, the country established the Truth and Reconciliation Commission for the restoration of national unity. Obviously, national reconciliation is possible only through racism eradication since it is racial bias that is at the root of the national disunity and bellicosity. Much as the commission utilized a number of tools towards this ...

The economic development of Vietnam after the end of long-lasting war was quite complicated and controversial. The infrastructure destroyed during the war almost to the full extent and the human capital lost due to the same reasons constituted additional difficulties for the communist authorities that tried to foster its economic development. In general, modern statistics reveal unsatisfied results of their policies because it seems that Vietnam did not reach the vast majority of the goals estimated in the Second Five-Year Plan. This plan adopted in 1975 became the first plan aimed ...

The Dynastic Cycle in China

As Usher writes, “A dynastic cycle is a periodic alternation of society between despotism and anarchy.” The political theory of a dynastic cycle implies to the idea that each dynasty undergoes four major steps of development: foundation, consolidation, deceleration, and extinction. After its creation, the dynasty reaches its peak giving the country all possible benefits and making it prosperous, and then declines and falls being replaced by the new dynasty. Throughout its history, China was under the reign of lots of dynasties and, hence, experienced lots of repetitive dynastic cycles. All of them had similar structures but different causes ...

The Time to Temperature Study Group conducted a study to determine whether target temperature and time correlate to the neurologic outcome exhibited by patients with therapeutic hypothermia.

The period between the years from 500 to 1400 – 1500 is traditionally called the Middle Ages.

Employers are not permitted to discriminate based on religion, particularly with companies that have nothing directly to do with religion. For companies that employ people whose job is directly shaped by religion and therefore those who religion to them is a “bona fid occupational qualification” (BFOQ), religious discrimination is permitted, but the BFOQ needs to be part of the business’s necessary operation (Eisgruber & Sager, 1994).For non-religious co-optations, that can be difficult to prove. For religious organizations, when a religious group runs the organization or has direct engagement, preferences for particular religion are permitted. Religious accommodation is required ...

Post Disaster Project: Prepare a Project Plan

Project description A disaster is natural or man-made occurrence, that causes immense damage to human life, animal life or properties, on a large scale.

Lederman (2016) in the article “Reconstructing RFRA: The Contested Legacy of Religious Freedom Restoration” argued that viewing corporations as religious entities would harm third parties in commercial settings. In this regard, the companies would be forcing individuals who may hold opinions or beliefs that do not agree with theirs to uphold them. In such an event, the corporation would be breaking the tenets of the First Amendment that holds that among others things, the government cannot coerce anyone to support religion or its exercise. Besides, corporations are not in themselves an entity that can always act in a particular ...

However, many theories have been proposed to explain this phenomenon. Most researchers believe that Homo sapiens originated from Africa from where its descendants moved to the ...

Hellena’s Character

In the play titled “The Rovel”, it is essentially evident that Hellena is the character that perfectly represents Aphra Behn. In essence, Alphra Behn believed that women had been trivialized in the society to an extent that their sexuality was used to humiliate them and facilitate the dominance of men. Importantly, she focused on the feminization of roles in the society such that women’s identity was mainly based on sexuality rather than character. Importantly, she has particular interest in the struggle that women have to undergo in order to fight for their space in the society and be ...

Understanding of the political system of Japan is critical for understanding the major interests of this country and forecasting its behavior.

Shintoism and Buddhism in Japanese History

Before the spread of today’s religion, the early civilizations had different views as to how they could explain the things around them.

While some of these early beliefs have been forgotten in favor of newer religions, there are countries where early beliefs played heavily in the formation of the nation and even triggered a conflict to occur when a new religion was introduced to the ...
