Research Problem/Question: The researchers had based their research on the argument that experience of race or ethnicity discrimination could be directly linked with negative psychological consequences. However, the researcher had maintained that “non-white people” which include people from Asian, African and other ethnicities (other than US, Europe) could have higher rates of PTSD- posttraumatic stress disorder. However, there was no sufficient research whether this relation was tested for a population which was racially diverse and was not exposed to any particular distressing situation (Pieterse, Carter, Evans, & Walter, 2010).

I liked one topic sentence towards the end of the essay, where you aptly set the focus of the paragraph. Consider this: “Another health risk of eating pork meat is due to its association with many epidemic diseases.” Here, you clearly tell the readers what you would discuss in the paragraph, that is, diseases caused due to eating pork. This supports your view/position against eating pork.

Now, let us consider the last sentence of the introduction as the thesis: “To determine that pork is healthy to eat one must examine the different between pork meat and other ...

The quote is intended to address the issue of representation in courts of justice. In the present period, there is laxity from the part of the government to provide pro bono services to citizens who cannot afford the services of a counsel. This means that such citizens go to trial without exactly understanding what is expected of them. This is unlike the past when the government recognized the right for every accused person to be represented by a qualified lawyer to ensure a fair process. This ceased to be the case.

Stress is a “nonspecific response of the body to any demands made upon it.” (Murff, p. 102) Stress, when it is sufficiently severe, can cause psychological damage, as the body is exposed to heightened conditions for too long a period of time, making their behavior less effective. College students are often privy to “a unique set of stressors which can affect their daily experiences.” (Murff, p. 102) In college, there are multiple sources of stress that cause stress due to the ambiguity and strain that each role places on them. However, in order to become a successful college student, ways to ...

1. In Judy Rebick’s essay The Culture of Overwork, her purpose is effectively to re-examine the cultural norms of ‘overwork,’ defined here as a pattern of workaholic behavior characterized by long hours, high stress, guilt at unfinished work, etc. Judging the essay by standards of completeness and the relevance of the essay’s support, Rebick’s essay is somewhat solid, though there could be further support and elaboration on her part to further prove the inherent ethical and physical problems with overwork, as well as finding solutions for the problem.

In her arguments, Rebick makes use of ...

That accidents happen in the workplace because of negligible acts by the company and its employees is without a doubt. However, sometimes accidents are purely unpredictable and can happen even in the most careful of setups. Research has indicated that fatigue is one of the main causes of catastrophes that occur in the workplace. When an individual is fatigued, they are more likely to cause injuries because their thinking ability is considerably reduced. It results from the lack of sleep or too much workload. Fatigue makes an employee vulnerable to dangerous injuries around the office (Biddle, 2009). Research has indicated ...

Introduction

The place where people live and the family that provides them support are the sources of both positive and negative values. Simply put, these values can either be beneficial to the person or can be a disadvantage. Positive values help in shaping the person to become a morally upright individual.

Virginia Woolf's novel, Mrs. Dalloway, is considered by most to be a baffling read. This is partly because the novelist, Woolf, experiments with the technique of connecting the character's internal and external dialogues in the text. This is quite obvious in the author's characterization of Mrs. Dalloway or Clarissa, the protagonist of the novel, and Septimus. Many critics contend that both of these characters are a doubles. This idea, of course, comes from the “Introduction to the Random House edition of her novel” which states that, “‘Septimus, who later is intended to be her [that ...
