There are five phases of a terrorist attack. According to Sauter & Carafano (2005), they include the pre-incident phase, the initiation phase, the climax phase, the negotiation phase and the post-incident phase.

For example, the selected targets for the 9/11 attack were the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and the Capitol ...

Abstract

Physician-assisted suicide is one of the most controversial topics in healthcare today. Some people consider it morally incorrect because it degrades the value of human life while others consider it better than suffering a painful death. However, the requests for assisted suicide are some of the most difficult moments for healthcare professionals. In many cases, ethical dilemmas about the power over life and death will prevent the physician from participating, but compassion and respect for the patients’ self-determination sometimes encourage physicians to discuss alternative, legal options with the patients. Some ethical frameworks and laws are against physician assisted suicide, ...

We live in an age of medicine filled with technological wonders – and difficulties. Andre and Velasquez (2010) state that “medical technology has given us the power to sustain the lives (or, some would say, prolong the deaths) of patients whose physical and mental capabilities cannot be restored, whose degenerating conditions cannot be reversed, and whose pain cannot be eliminated.” This poses a medical and ethical dilemma that has pitted us one against the other – should we allow the people in these positions to choose to die, or do we have a moral obligation to preserve life at all costs? ...

In many ways this story is an inverted fairy tale – beginning with “once upon a time.” In what ways does the fairy tale motif inform the tale?

The fairy tale motif that informs this story does so in two main ways: firstly, it affects the way Godwin writes and the choices of language and descriptive detail that she uses; secondly, because of the mythic qualities that we associate with fairy tales – the notion that they embody some sort of moral message – the woman becomes an archetypal figure, not an individual, but a type or Everywoman. Finally, because the story ...

Psychotropic mediation mainly focuses on solving a mental disorder by use of drug prescriptions unlike cognitive behavioral therapy which is more concern with the thinking process of a patient. Cognitive behavioral therapy attempts to assess the situation analysis ability of a patient in a bid to offer a solution to the problem of depression or anxiety. It thus concerns itself with the form of thinking of a patient and not the content of thought. Through this- as proved by research-a patients situation analysis mechanism can be examined and improved. It is argued that anxiety and depression mainly emanate from an individual’s interpretation of a given ...

The article of Baller & Richardson explains that the theory of Durkheim regarding suicide can be attributed to geographic space, social integration, and imitation (Baller & Richardson 873). The risk of suicide is high that can be based on the neighboring areas since it is man’s reflection of how he perceived the behaviour of other people that has a tendency influence his own actions. The replication of another person’s action is the powerful force that will drive another to act in a certain way. The article has shown that the hypotheses of Durkheim and Tarde are correct to a ...

The idea of love is always evolving. In our relationships with our families, friends, and significant others, love is always changing. What we do not think about is the impact external factors have on how we view love. Images we see of how love is conveyed can sometimes change our conceptions of what it is to show emotion. Take Hollywood for example: older movies showed love and affection in a much different way than movies do today. This shift in imagery may be having an impact on the way we show love. Romeo and Juliet, though made into a ...

What Hamlet Is Asking Himself

The soliloquy begins with the question to be or not to be. For any character playing the part, it is the most vital question.

Tricyclic antidepressants vs Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) in treatment of Depression

In recent decades, SSRIs have become the first-choice treatment for depression. The efficacy and acceptability, as well as cost-efficiency of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) versus the older tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) are studied by many researchers. Most of scholars agree that the both classes of antidepressants are almost equally efficient (Marton, 2003.) According to Marton (2003), a small trend towards greater efficacy of TCAs was found when the outcome was measured in terms of depression scales, and towards SSRIs – in terms of global impression scores. But Faravelli and colleagues (2003) argue that in most studied cases, ...

Political repression is a theme that transverses across the two novels including Chinua’s Things Fall Apart and Marjane Satrapi’s Persepolis.

The similarities in the response of the two main characters; Okonkwo in Things Fall Apart and Marjane in Persepolis can be attributed to the resemblance in the political regimes affecting them. On the other hand, the contrast in the ...

Euthanasia has been a good moral debate for generations. It has challenged the way humanity define life and even love. It has been a moral grey area that is popularly requested for loved ones who are in extreme pain and cannot be relieved from it due to medical pain. Philosophically, one may argue the definition of “pain”, “extreme”, or even “love”. Be that as it may, without any of these three words in the definition, the term “mercy-killing”, which is effectively the meaning of euthanasia, is not applicable to the act.

As we come across articles about suicides in our society, we can see the various causes behind the decision to end one’s life. I recall the scene of my friend’s dead body as a result of suicide. What made him decide? He must have been afraid of dying and many thoughts must have flashed through his brain at that moment. In Victor Frankl’s Man's Search for Meaning, Frankl defines the cause of suicide: losing the meaning of life. Frankl explains that psychological weakness, such as losing hope and faith to live, leads one to give up ...

The term «euthanasia» has a Greek origin and it means a «good death» (pleasant, beautiful). In ancient Greece euthanasia had no medical meaning and meant a happy death for their country. An English philosopher Francis Bacon (1561-1626) introduced the term euthanasia into the scientific usage. In 1623 in his work «On the dignity and enhancement of science» (2008) he said that doctors not only have to restore health, but also relieve pain and anguish even when there is no hope. In such cases doctors have to make the death easy and quiet. In his work Bacon outlines the modern ...

Informal Writing on Nella Larsen's Passing

One of the most important works relevant for the American literature is the novel Passing by Nella Larsen.

For me, both women are tragic heroines because Claire ended her life by sudden death, and Irene destroyed her family life by introducing Claire ...

Euthanasia is a process through which medical personnel or families help the patient to end his or her life. There are certain situations that are not considered euthanasia-- such as “ ...

Apparently, those that argue against gun control have a considerable number of reasons. Firstly, irrespective of the fact that there exist policies and laws that regulate possessions and use of guns by civilians in United Kingdom for instance, the rates of murder are still considerably high. Based on research findings, the homicide rates in UK as of 1996 during the time of Dunblane massacre was 1.12 per 100,000 (Lott 34). It was before the firearm act came into effect. As of 2002, when this act had already been implemented fully in UK, the homicide rates stood at 2.1 ...

The topic that I was assigned is the physician-assisted suicide. How is physician-assisted suicide viewed by the medical profession? Is physician-assisted suicide legal in the U.S?

A physician-assisted suicide refers to a situation where a medical practitioner or a physician facilitates the suicide of a patient. The process involves prescription of a controlled substance thus assisting ...

Absurdism as a worldview theory is a part of the philosophy of existentialism; and as the fundamental philosophical concept it was firstly developed in the work of Albert Camus “The Myth of Sisyphus”.

The issue of gun control in the United States has long been an incredibly controversial one, with many unique and complex arguments both for and against it.

The decision removes a sizable obstacle to state policies such as the one in Oregon, which is the only state in the United States that allows physician-assisted suicide.

[Client’s name] The word suicide implies self-killing, and it may be either assisted or unassisted. Physician-assisted suicide falls under the category of assisted suicide where the person providing backing is the doctor. A doctor assisting a patient of terminal cancer in taking his own life by providing him with the means or the information necessary for committing self-killing would be an example of physician-assisted suicide. The word euthanasia, also referred to as mercy killing, is often used synonymously with assisted suicide. It is a Greek word where ‘eu’ means right, and ‘Thanatos’ means death. The word euthanasia therefore ...

Current crisis

Contemporary modes of communication often exaggerate utility of public relation. But, owing to domination of media globally, techniques of public relation has ironed out several issues in business and politics. However, negotiating crisis in modern parlance witnesses dual ramifications.

Thus, the current crisis is a mosaic mesh of crisis management in PR and by PR. Few examples can elucidate how PR got entrapped in crisis. Last year, Hyundai was caught up in massive ...
