In my opinion, I agree with the article “Two Ways a Woman Can Get Hurt”.

Reflection on the Vagina monologues

Vagina Monologues explores the plight of women in the society. The book makes one re-think of concern for the women over challenges and parameters faced in their lives. In the society, women assume feminine roles that make them vulnerable destructive experiences. The monologues portray some of the feminine experiences as destructive, yet some of them appear enjoyable to them. The story made me visualize about the theory or rape.

THESIS: Laws on gun control are emplaced purely on cause and effect basis. When in actual fact more importance should be attached to the right to own a gun as opposed to the potential harm gun ownership can inflict.

(P1) Gun control laws are increased or decreased in regards to their relationship with crime. If gun control decreases gun violence which common sense may dictate it should be increased but if it doesn’t it’s useless. (P2) Gun controls effect on crime is arguable either way as countries like the UK has a complete ban on hand guns ...

Article Review

I agree with Holman on the issue of the invasion of financial privacy of innocent citizens. Offshore bank accounts should not be criminalized. Rather, offshore bank accounts play a key role in international diversification. This is especially so in times of government regulations and currency controls which are getting stricter. Offshore banking provides a way for having part of one’s wealth outside his or her country to avoid the risk of confiscation of assets and government freezes. However, the problem is that offshore bank accounts have always been associated with the negative things. They are viewed as avenues ...

Many of the classic mistaken-identity comedies that entertain us owe their origins to plays like Much Ado About Nothing. One of my favorite episodes of the sitcome Frasier, for example, involves a trip to a ski lodge. The characters are Frasier, his brother Niles, their father Martin, Martin’s nurse Daphne, Daphne’s friend, and the ski instructor Guy. Niles is interested in Daphne; Daphne’s friend is interested in Guy; Frasier is interested in Daphne’s friend; Guy is interested in Niles. The set for this episode features all of the bedroom doors opening. Double and triple entendres ...

Marat/Sade is a film directed by Peter Brook and is based on a play by Peter Weiss. This film can be described as a play within a play. Originally a stage play, the director adds the techniques of cinema. This is important in identifying the difference between directing a film and directing a stage play. While a film director has the power of forcing the audience to see what he or she wants them to see, a stage director does not have this power. The theater provides an experience whereby the audience can look at any place or part ...

This form of technology can be harnessed to address the most crucial world’s problems related to development. It is, however, unfortunate that the applications of nanotechnology have not been systematically prioritized to address the challenges that most developing counties across the world face every day. Proponents of this form of technology anticipate that it will provide solutions to critical challenges that face developing countries and less developed countries. However, such optimistic ...

The American hospital system is in a state of crisis. On the one hand there is competition to increase the profits that hospitals generate. On the other hand there is a concerted effort to improve the quality of care that is delivered by them. In some sense, these are competing values insofar as quality healthcare is an expensive proposition. Medical error accounts for a large portion of the failure in quality as well as the perceived lack of quality in care. In some respects, medical error is unavoidable. Physicians are humans and they will make mistakes. Furthermore, many hospitals ...

- What are the potential benefits and problems associated with providing foreign aid to countries? How might foreign aid be helpful or harmful according to the two theories discussed in the paper? What does the evidence suggest?

However, the assumption has been falsified by Bauer (1972, 2000) as in his view, foreign aid does not contribute towards economic alleviation of any poor country; rather it prevents any ...

This paper provides an insight on the cause of madness. It springs from disease of thought and moods of mind obtained from general intellect. Many people think that genius and insanity are intertwined. For example in the 18th and 19th century, poet William Blake wrote about the extreme mood swings he went through, which caused him to develop depression (Jamison, 1995). Most artists in the past suffered from severe mood disorders namely manic-depressive illness. As much as it is a lethal disorder, it is, however, very treatable. In my opinion, most people with the disorder do not posses extraordinary ...

Debt Level vs GDP Growth

There is no doubt that the relationship between economic growth and debt levels is one of the most controversial topics that raise debates in discussions. It also generates varied interpretations among economic analysts and policymakers. The article structure in my opinion is essential as it provides arguments against previous conclusions and the authors' reasons to concede or not agree. Robert Pollin and Michael Ash (2012) have challenged previous findings by Rogoff and Reinhart on account of the methodology, omission and coding error. While Rogoff and Reinhart (2010) in their research concluded that, the average growth falls during periods when ...

In supporting Darwin’s idea, Fisher, a scientist asserted that mutations tend to be pleiotropic in nature thus causing varying effects in relating population. Therefore, the topic is essential in assessing the effect of mutations as well as their pleiotropic effect (Linnen, Poh, Peterson, Barrett, ...

The principal argument that Parker makes in regards to setting the academic bar higher, encouraging the students, and their subsequently succeeding is analogous to the famous line from the ...

Introduction

One of the classes of chemical complexes whose coordination chemistry has generated a lot of interest is the bidentate phosphines. This can be attributed to the fact that this class of ligands facilitates the combination of phosphorus atoms that have strong metal bonds with atoms from donor groups that are more labile in nature. Examples include Nitrogen atom from the aminophosphines donor group or an Oxygen atom from etherphosphines. This is unlike hard donors that are weak and basic like MeOH and H2O that do not have good binding with transitional metals including Rhenium. Due to this fact, complexes ...

Comparing the 2008 Us Crisis with the Japan’s “Lost Decade”

Both the Japan’s lost decade and the 2008 United States and the world financial crisis were caused by excess savings and inflation of huge asset bubbles. By 1980s many Japanese resorted to a lot of savings on their income as they expected to retire. This translated negatively on the economy as it lowered the Gross Domestic Product and weakened local demand of commodities. Furthermore, much savings simply meant that the Japanese citizen had foregone consumption. However, this problem was disguised in the Japanese poor finance policy as well as financial technology. Inflation therefore arose from poor regulation of ...
