Should U.S. Provide Free Healthcare Coverage For All? Should U.S. Provide Free Healthcare Coverage For All? The healthcare system is an important factor in the success of any country. It is an engine for innovation, as it disseminates life-enhancing treatments for the citizens to have better health. The healthcare system can provide enormous benefits to its citizens. With continuous consumption of healthcare services by individuals comes a growing demand for healthcare services that provide happiness and satisfaction to people. For this, patient satisfaction has been labeled as “a complimentary measure of healthcare quality” (Browne et al., 2010, p.921). In ...

The exclusionary rule holds that, when the police violate a suspect’s constitutional rights, that suspect has the option of requesting a court to “exclude” or declare inadmissible any evidence that was obtained as a result of the constitutional violation. The exclusionary rule is not a constitutional right but rather a judicial tool established by the Supreme Court in 1914, as a means of deterring police officers and law enforcement officials from violating the Constitution when arresting suspects and conducting criminal investigation (Weeks v. United States, 1914). Up until 1961, the exclusionary rule was only available to defendants in ...

Introduction

With the ongoing process of internationalization, the inter-connectedness between countries significantly improved and it persuaded regulators worldwide to think about criminal justice on a global perspective. Though different countries follow different types of criminal justice systems, they all have identified the need of enhanced co-operation for establishing law and order in their territory. Fast advancements in the technological landscape assisted nations worldwide to take collaborative efforts to promote crime management and prevention. However, growing cyber crimes raise new threats to criminal justice systems worldwide because criminals have always been one step ahead of law enforcement agencies in terms of ...

Fairy tales and folklores are nothing but the reflections of the society. Authors and artists depict the world through their lens to highlight social elements. The Company of Wolves by Angela Carter is a fairy tale built on the theme of the Little Red Riding Hood. In a very subtle way it depicts the patriarchal structure of the society and what it means to be a liberated woman. In an interesting way she has shown what a feminist means, as it brings harmony and order into an otherwise sexist and chaotic society. Carter’s Company of Wolves might not ...

YOURNAMEHERE

YOURSCHOOLHERE “How long can a human being survive without water?” That seems like a simple question. Packer (2002) points out that this seemingly simple question is not simple at all. Various factors mean that the answer can be anywhere from a few hours to several days. Regardless, though, one thing is clear. Water is necessary for life. The Earth (capital “E” for our home world) is unique in the solar system with its vast supply of liquid water (Blue Planet, n.d.). Since a human body is 60% water, this is obviously a substance of some importance (The Water In ...

Ancillary Revenue Management in the Airline Industry

Introduction There is a stiff competition between the network airlines and the low-cost carriers (LCCs) in the airline aviation industry. For a long time, the traditional network airlines have been struggling to cope up with the many economic uncertainties in the industry, especially the rising cost of jet fuels and increasing operating costs. Consequently, to survive in the industry, they have been forced to come up with new ways of generating revenue. Like LCCs, the network carriers are now considering unbundling their services to produce additional income. Network airlines are also adopting the trend of selling chargeable services, which ...

The role of the nurse in the contemporary healthcare setting is wide and it transcends beyond the traditional concept of the roles and scope of work for a nurse. Patient needs have diversified in the same way as populations volumes and numbers seeking care have increased. The healthcare system is demanding more from the nurses and it is apparent that nurses have to adapt to these needs if at all they have to assure the patient population of positive outcomes (Fennimore & Wolf, 2011). For nurse managers, the role is even wider. Not only do they have to work closely ...

Abstract

Michael Zehaf-Bibeau is a lone attacker who launched a terrorist attack in Canada in 2014. Zehaf-Bibeau is believed to have been experiencing mental issues as well as a drug problem. Several years after his conversion into the Islamic religion, Zehaf-Bibeau became radicalized and started finding ways through which he could join other foreign fighters in Syria. The Canadian government had placed strict regulations at its border which led to the invalidation of his passport, an act which is believed to have provoked him. Following his displeasure with Canada's new foreign policy to deploy its soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan ...

There is a general feeling among scholars that crises are important aspects when working with people with distress and difficulties in life (Kaplan & Girard, 1994). A crisis is defined as a turning point with a situation that pushes the usual coping mechanisms in people beyond their effectiveness limits and necessitates different responses as well as a different coping strategy. Crisis intervention is defined as an approach premised on the fact that crises play a critical role for situational aspects that help individuals in various situations. This is approach is best exemplified by a situation where the health worker analyses ...

Introduction

Alzheimer’s disease is a known common cause of loss of mental function that is broadly known as dementia. It is a disease that gradually proceeds in stages that destroy memory, reason, judgment, abstract thinking, and the ability to perform simple tasks. Dementia is a group of symptoms that are often characterized by a decline in intellectual functioning that may interfere with the daily activities and the social interactions of a person.

Angela Carter prominently retells the fairy tale story of Little Red Riding Hood, with more vivid and gruesome details as to the horrors of monstrosity. In The Company of Wolves, she first describes in detail the attitudes and machinations of wolves, providing examples using the concept of a werewolf compared to the anthropomorphized wolf in the original tale. Through Carter’s retelling, she envisions a tale of love that more closely resembles what could have happened in reality. Through this, the dichotomy of humanity and monstrosity is blurred when both exhibit traits that are supposedly exclusive of the other. ...

One of the famous acts of Congress is the USA Patriot Act that was first signed by George W Bush in 2001. The actual meaning of USA PATRIOT Act is “Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act.” After that, it has been modified many times. In this paper, we will discuss that why the USA Patriot Act is subject to periodic reauthorization. With the help of USA Patriot Act history, periodic reauthorization will be discussed. It was Congress that rushed to pass this legislation/Act that the security controls need to strengthened. ...

I see the world as a dear friend who welcomes me happily each morning and shows me a variety of new opportunities. Individuals see the world with different perspectives; honestly, I always see the world as my well-wisher who allows life to unfold each day with different promises. I believe the objective of human life in this world is to feel oneness with the world that surrounds and nurtures us. In other words, a person finds inner meaning to his life only when he is able to understand what the world communicates to him on a daily basis. Interestingly, ...

Second Chances

Introduction More than 20 years ago, adult murderers were getting arrested for manslaughter which was common back in those days and people did not expect any concept of juvenile murderers of being created. Incidentally, America was not prepared to send a child to jail for murderous crimes and it can hardly be argued that it was thought inhumane. However, with more juvenile murderers on the rise, more and more people such as families of those murdered have begun to agree that juvenile murderers should be locked up. Cruel and unusual punishment has been mentioned in cases such as these ...

Importance of NSQI Measures

I would advise that NSQI measures should be compulsorily included in a Quality Improvement program to achieve enhanced outcomes. Nursing-sensitive indicators assist healthcare facilities to form a great understanding of the relationship between patient outcomes and the quality of nursing care they provide. In other words, nursing-sensitive indicators are really helpful for a facility to identify the areas of improvement, which is inevitable for designing and implementing a Quality Improvement program effectively. In addition, nursing-sensitive indicators are beneficial to justify the need for increased nursing staff, which is also an integral part of a Quality Improvement program. These indicators ...

What is the reason why social movements appear? The term “social movement” implies the creation of large groups of people that share common views on various social and political issues and act to defend their views and to cause a social change. The worldwide peak of social movements was seen in the 1960s, but even after its passing, the idea of social movements continued to be challenging for society. Della Porta writes, “The excitement and optimism of the roaring 1960s may be long gone, but social and political events . . . have hardly rendered the investigation of grassroots activism any less ...

Performance measurement is an essential aspect that defines whether an enterprise is successful or no. Through an analysis of the Kohl’s Corporation 10-K, various performance measurement approaches are used. Like in conventional business practice, the performance measures are used to inform the direction that a firm should take (Kellen & Wolf, 2003). As pointed out in the text, there are many perspectives in approaching performance measures. The measures used by Kohl’s Corporation can be categorized into four groups.

Financial measures

Performance measures that take the financial perspective have the goal of looking into whether a company is profitable, and whether ...

Abstract

Religion is an aspect that concerns the private lives of individuals. In the working environment, the religious practice and the integration of faith in the working relations raises ethical concerns. Ethical concerns about the assertion of faith in organizations appear also in the hospitality industry. Companies like Chick-fil-A, In N Out or Taco Bell, have been facing claims of religious practices at work that discriminates employees by pressuring them to approach the employer’s religious assertion. While the assertion of faith in the workplace poses not solely ethical, but also legal and performance – related concerns, this paper focuses on ...

Rituals exist as part of a predetermined behavior for events and societal situations concerning the belief in mystical beings and societal structure. Ritual behavior follows the use of symbols as specific properties of information and meaning. They can be objects, relationships, words, events, and activities. For instance, prayer and churches are part of the Christian ritual. National anthems and loyalty pledges are also symbols to a ritual in support of one’s nation. Therefore, a ritual is a stereotypical sequence of events that involves symbols designed to influence entities and forces on behalf of participants and their interests. While ...

Lobbying is the process of trying to influence the decisions made by the government to favor certain stakeholders or individuals. The largest number of a lobbyist is constituted by corporation officials, private sectors, and other interest or advocacy groups. The documentary "The best government money can buy" by Francis Megany, clearly shows a comprehensive assessment of how the system of lobbying operates in Washington, DC. Washington is flooded by over 14,000 registered influential lobbyists working for different special interest groups among other unregistered lobbyists (Wolf 14). The business of lobbying is to support legislation that will benefit interested ...

The article, Equality Still Elusive 50 Years after Civil Rights Act by Richard Wolf, describes the current situation of racial discrimination in America. The fight for civil rights began during the slave trade era, with various laws and policies coming up over the years. The inclusion of Civil Rights Act in 1964 was a key feature in the change of segregation in major institutions and public facilities. It provided better opportunities for the black community across the country, especially in the south. According to Wolf, the act is yet to integrate into the society as per various polls conducted ...

Argument essay

Historically, Kentucky was home to two wolf species: the red wolf the gray wolf. Today, neither wolf species can be found in the Bluegrass State. As the amount of human settlers increased, these creatures were seen as a potential danger, as a pest, threatening livestock. It was the belief that the red wolf caused widespread cattle losses that led to extensive predator control programs, therefore, the red wolf was totally removed from extensive areas of its former range. As being the most adaptable predator, coyotes occupied their habitat. But today coyotes are growing in population and preying on more ...

Her grandmother lives across the forest, and her mother gives warns her not to stray off the path. Along the way she meets a wolf who asks her what she is doing. She tells him where he is headed, and what she is carrying, and also tells him where her grandmother's house is located. Little Red Riding Hood was late to her grandmother’s house as she strayed off the path to pick some ...

In early 2010, an explosion at the BP Deepwater Horizon oil right in the Mexican Golf became one of the largest man-made maritime disasters in US history. The disaster would cause considerable damage regarding the loss of life, damage to the ecosystem, as well as financial and reputational losses. As a way of dealing with this spill, BP established a PR plan focused on communicating with various stakeholders during and after the disaster (Wolf & Mejri, 2013). I do not believe that their efforts were any successful based on the following reasons. First, to control the incoming press exposure, the ...

The United States Department of Labor (DOL) is responsible for enforcing various federal laws and regulations (United States Department of Labor, 2016), which have been put in place to cover both employers and employees on all workplace-related activities. The federal law that stipulates principles for wages and overtime payments is The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), its provisions affect most public and private employees. According to FLSA, all employees are entitled to a federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour, effective from July 24th, 2009 (United States Department of Labor, 2016).

At this moment there comes a tipping moment when you need to gather your strength and go forward for your dream. Look around you!

I have recently attended a lecture on women’s rights given by a local female activist. She brainstormed about the issue of lack of women’s rights and why it was so important to recognize it and start working on it. She stated that until the time when women are able to feel comfortable in their workplaces and get paid as much as men do, our society cannot call itself liberal. This paper proves that the problem of female discrimination is a serious flaw on our society as it gets on the way of many women’s career development. ...

Dante’s Inferno presents an allegorical biography of Dante’s effort to conquer sins and enjoy God’s love. The author of this compelling book presents the idea of Hell by explaining nine different circles. The levels descend towards the depth of the hell the (9th level), the circle inhabited by the devil himself. Each circle is a reserve for particular sinners. Furthermore, different punishments are administered at each level. The nature and extent of the sins committed define the magnitude of the recommended punishment. The higher the severity of the sin the lower the circle in which one ...

The United States judicial system offers certain protections for criminal suspects who are at risk of arrest or a search without a warrant. One of the most important safeguards afforded under the U.S. Constitution is the 4th amendment, which prevents government officials from illegally searching individuals or seizing property without following standard procedure. The concept has evolved over time, and the exclusionary rule is now the primary way to defend people from illegal search and seizure by government officials. However, history has shown that this is an ineffective solution because it allows those who would have been convicted to ...

Introduction

Ideally, business performance depends on the strategy that management adopts. The success of the existing company, as well as the possibility of implementing an idea of starting a new business, must consider the level of market competition. Strategic planning is essential to the success of a business and the efficiency of operations (Barney and Tyler 39). Firms’ managers in highly competitive markets must make decisions regarding the current as well as the future performance of their companies. They hire consultants to help them analyze their business environments and make sound decisions that can help them survive market competitions. One ...

The company made an attempt to differentiate itself from the competitors in the industry; the company created a strategy that saw the change of the name from British Petroleum to Beyond Petroleum. Public relations and advertisement strategies were put in pace to ensure the company changed the image that people already perceived the company to be. Adequate planning was suitable in that the awareness of the company drastically grew from 4 % to 67% in the year 2007. The company was able to win the Gold Award from the American Marketing Association (Mejri & Wolf, 2013). In the previous years and ...

The last twenty years has seen the introduction of the internet and mobile phones. Mobile phones have, in that period, transformed from devices the size of a brick to slim sleek devices with advanced features such as cameras, Bluetooth, fingerprint scanners, internet access and many more. This is just a small part of the technological evolution that has taken the world by a storm. With every new invention comes a new set of crimes, or a means to execute criminal acts and evade arrest more efficiently. This has in the process created a headache for law enforcement agencies. Despite ...

Sexism in sports

Over the years, it has been observed that there is inequality in sports. This fact has prompted many people to research on the matter. The research shows that gender inequality began from the history of the universe. Gender inequality in sports has been depicted in several books and TV programs. An example is sexing the body written by Anne Fausto-Sterling. In the first chapter, the book discusses how people's notion of sexuality and gender is based on social construct (Fausto-Sterling). This fact can be observed from the way women are treated in the society. There are some cultures, which ...

The book Wolf by the Ears authored by John Van Atta explicitly describes the events of the sectional conflict that proliferated to the American Civil War and later triggered the balkanizing war over Missouri statehood (Atta 30). The author notes that the Louisiana territory purchase was organized to position it entirely on the Northwest of Ohio and West of Mississippi; however, the Missouri crisis bore a strategic significance based on anti-and pro slavery movements. In particular, the congressional representatives from North supported the expansion of slavery, while those from South expressed outrage and fired sectional attack to the Northerners. ...

Fairytales play an important role in the formation of personality in childhood. Knowing this, most parents read stories to their children. In fact, every fairy tale has a moral lesson that is presented in the form of a narrative. And children, by reading stories, automatically learn certain truths. However, some fairy tales might be more than instructive stories. Sometimes they can have quite ambiguous subtext. This paper analyzes the fairy tale "Red Riding Hood" by Charles Perrault. Probably everyone used to read this story as a child. It seemed that everything is clear in it. This paper presents a ...

China has become a very powerful country that influences the development of the regional and global economy. The region of South East Asia is the closest to China and many countries from this region have had either tense or very positive relations with China throughout the course of the history. Nowadays China is applying the “Good Neighborhood” diplomacy, but many think that China is “a wolf in sheep’s clothing” (Lin 1). The next step that China is going to take on the international arena is the implementation of two initiatives Silk Road Economic Belt and 21st Century Maritime ...

Abstract

This paper puts the legal and ethical issues of physician-assisted suicide in the context of the larger debate on privacy and the right to die, which can be divided into three constituent parts: (1) a patient’s constitutionally protected right to privacy in all matters involving end-of-life treatment decisions. So long as a patient has the mental capacity to make informed consent, the government does not have a legitimate interest to override end-of-life decisions. Critical to the analysis of a patient’s refusal of life-sustaining treatment is the burden of the state to prove a patient did not have ...

In a paper presented at a symposium on teaching children to think creatively, child psychologist E. Paul Torrance (1972), creator of the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking (TTCT) (Torrance, 1980, 1966) says, I know that it is possible to teach children to think creatively and that it can be done in a variety of ways. I have done it. I have seen my wife do it. I have seen other excellent teachers do it. I have seen children who demonstrated a disability for thinking creatively learn to think creatively. I have seen them continuing for years thereafter to ...

The statue of liberty has for a long time been a symbol of national independence, a fable of freedom and prosperity that American’s have been admired while at the same time been hated for the freedom that most countries desire. The song that most American’s have been chanting has been revolving around how much effort they need to put in protecting and fighting for their freedom, a common voice that has yielded fruit as demonstrated by the first amendment. In the road to freedom, a lot has been achieved, but all the achievements are on the verge ...
