The medical field is possibly one of the hardest areas to work in. It can rip them up and shred them to pieces if they let it. Dealing with people all day that are angry, upset, scared, and confused with everything that's going on around them. Expecting everyone to know exactly what's wrong with them as they come to the hospital. Not everyone is fit to have a career in the medical field; it takes a certain person to be able to handle all the stress that comes along with the job. And having tough skin is a must have for anyone working the medical field, nurse's especially. Tested for mastery of knowledge and skills within their scope of practice, nurses are not appreciated, and people don't see how important they are compared to doctors. Nurses and doctors' are two careers in the medical field, but they are also two completely different challenges. A nurse attends direct attention to a patient, compared to a doctor where they only examine patients and make a diagnosis. Without a nurs

In today's world, the amount of repeat sex offenders who are on the sex offender registration list is rising. With over 400,000 registered sex offenders in the United States, the value of the sex registry is evident. The sex offender registration law has continuously been in place until today with slight changes being made. An analysis of the sex registration law reveals that there are some challenges relating to a sex offender information such as home addresses, place of employment, and general whereabouts of registered sex offenders. Equally important, throughout the country, law enforcement agencies are losing track of many sex offenders in spite of the registration laws. In the state of California, law enforcement authorities are unable to give report for 44% of the state's registered sex offenders. However, in Washington law enforcement agencies do a better job of tracking registered sex offenders, but they also are unable to track 10% of those offenders. In Seattle, a

In This paper, I will be describing why the non-identity argument is justifiable because black people deserve some type of compensation for slavery due to the mistreatment of their ancestors during the time of slavery in America. On the other hand, I will be supporting the negative that the non-identity argument is sufficient and a valid justification as to why black people do not deserve reparation. They do not deserve reparation on the basis that black people are better off in America than they would have been in their African counterpart had America not participated in the slave trade. I will also be describing why the non-identity problem poses a problem for the compensation argument. To put the non-identity problem, in regards to compensation, in my own words, I would first point out that there is no concrete definition to explain who would be receiving benefits from an entity, and going a little further, who would be dealing out this compensation to a specific set of people. E

There are many similarities and many differences when it comes to normal and abnormal psychology. Determining what is normal and what is abnormal varies from person to person. The issues that are associated with abnormal psychology are often the same as with normal psychology. The difference is the level of difficulty when determining the problem the individual is having. People that are being treated using normal psychology can go through a traumatic experience and need to be treated using abnormal psychology and a person being treated with abnormal psychology can be treated using normal psychology once their behavior has been under control for a consistent amount of time. In normal psychology, people may want to try and find ways to make their everyday lives less stressful or even work on time management issues. These things can cause a little bit of a disturbance in a person's life but nothing that would require ongoing treatment or be life threatening. When dealing with abnormal

Despite its appearance in most naturalistic literatures, the conflict of "man against nature" could be construed as a mislabeling-man isn't really going against nature. On the contrary, man is acting in accordance with nature; creation, recreation, evolution and the inclination for destruction are all natural processes and is learned from nature. Focusing on the similarities and differences between the depictions of both man and nature, one could grasp this idea by reading Sarah Orne Jewett's "A White Heron" in tandem with Stephen Crane's "The Open Boat". In "The Open Boat", man is objectified, depicted with fate resting outside of their control, whereas in "A White Heron", their role is reserved, nature is put at the mercy of man, but despite the reversal of roles, both narratives exhibit the idea that it is not 'man against nature', but that man is mimicking nature and that they are really one in the same. In Stephen Crane's "The Open Boat", he states that "a singular disadvantage

Short stories, like every other type of literary genre, are utilized to convey a particular message and meaning to the reader. It's not always directly expressed, but sometimes conveyed in such a way that the reader must decipher it after several deductions from analyzing the text. In Balthazar's Marvelous Afternoon, readers have to come up with conclusions about Balthazar. Was Balthazar simply in it for profits? Or was he someone who was proud of his work? Readers see the main protagonist deal with the frailties of humans. Only the readers can decide just exactly the virtue of Balthazar. Balthazar's Marvelous Afternoon deals with a poor carpenter (Balthazar) and his birdcage particularly made for Pepe, the son of a very rich man by name of Chepe Montiel. Having heard about the cage, people came to see it and were impressed by its beauty and size. The town doctor desires to purchase it, but his offer is rejected under the claim it had already been sold to another. Upon arriving to the house where the cage was going to be sold,

One would believe that justice is found in every law and in every courtroom, and judges and jurors are the perfect tools to demonstrate such fairness on every situation. However, not all people receive fair trials regardless of gender, race, ethnic background or religion as established by the American judicial system. For example, throughout decades millions of innocent people have been accused, arrested, tortured, put to trial, and persecuted for the practice of witchcraft and Satanism. In her book Devil's Knot: The True Story of the West Memphis Three, Mara Leveritt recounts the story of three eight year old boys that disappear on one night and are found dead on near by stream the following day. In her book she describes the atrocities done to this kids and gives an accurate account of all the things found in the scene and how three teenagers are accused of the crime. Although there was little evidence left at the crime scene, the investigators were able to find sufficient reason

Texts that withstand the test of time are those that touch on universal ideas, such as aspects of the human condition. The Merchant of Venice is one such text that undeniably remains relevant for modern audiences and can be valued with just as much importance as it was in Elizabethan England. The play's central themes are of power and control, love and friendship, and the discrimination of others. The most obvious example of bias, of course, is Venice's inherent antisemitism, but the discrimination in the play extends to anyone who isn't white, male, and Christian. It would have held, therefore, great verisimilitude to Shakespeare's England. The control over individuals and groups from a supreme authority is explored throughout the whole text. Such power comes from the Christian and male Venetian citizens, as anybody who is not a male and Christian in the play is seen as inferior, be they male and Jewish, female, or any other race or nationality. Ironically, this power stems from Act

In the early hours of November 15, 1959, Herb Clutter, a prosperous farm owner in the city of Holcomb, Kansas, was brutally murdered with his wife and two of their four children. Fascinated by the lack of motive and evidence, author Truman Capote traveled to Kansas in the company of his friend Harper Lee to write award-winning In Cold Blood, a book detailing the four murders. With his elaborate sentence structure and one-of-a-kind seen syntax, Truman Capote was able to successfully reconstruct the murders and depict the capture, trial, and execution of the two killers, Richard "Dick" Hickock and Perry Smith. Capote structurally divides In Cold Blood into four titled sections: "The Last to See Them Alive", "Persons Unknown", "Answer", and "Corner". Within each lengthy section, the narrative switches back and forth between several characters, demons

A democracy is defined in the United States as a form of government in which justice can be established to live a peaceful life, look out for everyone; and also to be a country in which the people have liberties. And that is the reason why the constitution of the United States was created; The Constitution of the United States sets forth the nation's written fundamental principles and laws that are ruled equivalently throughout the country. It establishes the form of the national government and defines the rights and liberties of the American people. It also lists the aims of the government and the mechanisms of achieving them. Congress in the United States is people that meet certain qualifications and are empowered to make or change laws. Article One of the Constitution describes the powers and limitations that congress possesses, and the Congress which is the legislative Branch that is bicameral, consists of a House of Representatives and a Se

Raymond Williams' (1921 - 1988) essay 'Culture is Ordinary' was written in 1958, a decade that was significant for its rise of commercial media and popular art in Western Society. In order to maintain a clear distinction between Popular Arts and High Arts, F.R Leavis (1895-1978) introduced his traditional definition of 'culture' inspired by Matthew Arnold (1822-1888). According to Williams' critique on Leavis and Arnold, this paper will discuss Arnold's and Leavis' classical ideas of culture and contrast those with Williams' anthropological definition of culture in order to highlight to what extent Williams contributed crucially to traditional Cultural Studies. In order to illustrate Williams' idea of ordinary culture, I will draw upon the British stencil street artist Robert Banks, also known as 'Banksy'. By arguing that street art embodies social movement and a resistance towards a hegemonic culture, I will outline that the working- class has therefore its own meaningful cultural ins

An epic is a long narrative poem that tells the story of a hero. The majority of epics date back to preliterate periods, for they were passed on by scops (oral poets) until finally written down. Epics usually tell about how brave and courageous the epic heroes truly are, and just how far epic heroes are willing to go to preserve their people and kingdom. In Beowulf, the protagonist Beowulf undergoes several challenges that test his epic hero characteristics: honor, bravery, strength and courage. Throughout the poem, Beowulf demonstrates that he fits the definition of an epic hero. Like any other epic hero, Beowulf has superhuman strength. In his battle with the notorious monster Grendel, Beowulf uses his strength to crush Grendel's claws. When Grendel strikes Beowulf, he immediately realizes "that nowhere on earth had he met a man whose hands were harder" (274-275), and then is reassured of this when Beowulf "fastened his claws in his fist till they cracked" (283-284). Although Grend

The speaker's last line, "For nothing now can ever come to any good", summarizes and depicts the narrator's state of emotions towards the death of a lost loved one in W.H. Auden's elegy, "Funeral Blues" (16). Auden creates a mood and setting of despair and death, almost as if he wants the reader to feel grief or mournful about person who has passed, although, this person is of no relevance to them. To create this sense of feeling, Auden establishes the speaker's sorrow and hopelessness using analytic meanings of symbolism and hyperbolas. Auden's use of symbolism prevails in "Funeral Blues." He uses symbolism to connect the readers to the overall theme of death. Ordering to the unknown audience to "stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone," the speaker wishes that time would stand, as if to catch his bearings and deceive himself that the passing of his dearest is not permanent and irreversible (1). The order to "cut off the telephone," symbolizes the comm

Last year my life changed dramatically. Towards the end of the school year I was starting to get the feeling my friends didn't want me around. At first I was denying it and kept going on as I usually do. Some of my friends in the group had been slowly starting to ignore my calls and texts and I believed them when they said they never got them. Eventually it got to a point where we would make plans in school then later that day I wouldn't hear from them. One of the very last times my friends and I had plans was also the day we almost completely stopped talking. At this point only a couple of my friends had been answering my calls and one of them told me to meet them at a friend's house. The other kids there didn't want me to show up so when I got there they wouldn't answer my calls. When I walked down to the basement door it was locked and I saw them all standing ther

The exegesis is on the set of papers and extracts below. The nature of mental states (a) Daniel Dennett, "True Believers: The Intentional Strategy and Why it Works" (b) Paul Churchland, "Eliminative Materialism and the Propositional Attitudes" (1) Daniel Dennett's Position in True Believers: The Intentional Strategy and Why it Works" Daniel Dennett emphasized that beliefs held by humans are controversial as the way people hold them may not be a result of a rational thinking process. He uses the term 'intentional strategy', which is a precise and speedy process through which people calculate the probable behaviors of people without being aware of 'beliefs'. He uses the term 'rational' for various objects including humans, animals and things and, according to him, the rational objects behave in a conventional way. Steps for Intentional Strategy Using intentional strategy involves following four steps: Firstly, an object is treated as rational. Secondly

Experiment 11: Determination of the Acidity of Vinegar by Titration, Acid-Base Indicators and pH Karen Finn Lauren Timmerman Lab Section C November 25th, 2012 Abstract: This set of experiments explored how to determine the acidity of vinegar by titration and to study the pH of household products using various indicators including litmus paper, pH paper, methyl orange, phenolphthalein and red cabbage juice. In part one, each household product was tested to determine whether or not it is an acid or a base. Ammonia is basic, lime out is acidic, baking soda is basic, dish soap is basic, and soda is acidic. Mouthwash is neutral because it has a pH of 7. In an acidic solution the phenolphthalein is very light blue almost clear color. In a basic solution it is a very light pink. The pH color chart for the red cabbage juice indicator was pink when acidic and it's a green blue when it is more basic. There is 5.184% per volume of acetic acid in vineg

Americans have become not only ignorant about their own country and its political affairs but also have been blind to the impact of five factors that contribute to this ignorance. The influence of family, the media, education, popular culture, and one's own environment are the five sources that have caused the people of the United states to be ill-informed about political affairs. "NEWSWEEK recently asked 1,000 U.S. citizens to take America's official citizenship test. Twenty-nine percent could not name the vice president"(Romano). Many families in the United States derive their main source of information on political matters from their own family members and their family's opinions. They rely upon their family's political party preference or what they learned about politics at home to make their political decisions. But these opinions are not necessarily being based upon what is best for the country but instead are based upon family tradition, such as whether the family ide

Blind Justice by Bruce Alexander is a mystery about Sir John Fielding in the mid 18th century. This story takes place in London and the main characters are Sir John Fielding and Jeremy Proctor. Fielding is well known in the area along with his brother Henry Fielding for being the founders of the Bow Street Runners police force. The Bow Street Runners is the very first police force in the London area and nobody has seen anything like it. Sir John is a high-ranking member in the courts and has a great reputation for giving stern punishments for crimes he knows have been committed and being sympathetic to lesser crimes. One twister to this story is that Sir John Fielding is blind yet he has an outstanding ability to solve crimes using all of his other senses. Early in the story Sir John Folding takes custody of a young boy named Jeremy Proctor. Jeremy is on the run because his father was stoned to death for the counterfeiting of money. Jeremy is captured in London and sent to

In the modernizing world of sports, big time owners are looking for money any way possible. Owners, plain and simply want to spend less and make more. The conventional way of that is pay players less, win more games, sell more tickets and merchandise, etc. However, owners now have tried a different way of keeping money in their pocket. Owners are now building new, state-of-the-art stadiums for their teams to play in. The only catch is that they are not paying for it. Sports teams of late have had big businesses or even taxpayers fund their new arenas. Owners pressure cities to fund stadiums by threatening to move the team. Is it fair that sports are powerful enough and have enough leverage to do this? What are the benefits and costs of cities building new stadiums? Stadium subsidies are a hot topic and a controversial issue not just in sports but also in society. The cost of building new stadiums is astounding and continues to rise. According to the National Taxpayers Union Foundatio

"Time Re" is an intriguing work by V. Goncharov, who collaborated with the composer Dusenbek Nakipov and the visual artist T. Yesaliyeva. The show is performed in Kazakh State Academic Theater of Opera and Ballet named after Abai. The whole composition consists of seven parts, which fit in 35 minutes. The main dancers are D. Tabyldy and A.Sapugova. The main zest of the performance is that there are no time frames at all. The whole action is happening in abstract space, where the concept of top or down does not exist. All dancers are the first men and women in the world, while D.Tabyldy and A. Sapugova are in role of Adam and Eve. This show represents the values of life in modern artwork. There is a glorious opening of the thea

The United States and many other countries have now entered the digital age, an era where electronics, media, and the worldwide web are right at our fingertips anywhere and anytime that our hearts desire. Workplaces, schools, and households have now become more technology friendly and are assimilating into this fascinating age of discovery and innovation. According to Virginia Heffernan, a published author and writer for The New York Times, "65 percent of today's grade-school kids may end up doing work that hasn't been invented yet." Even children are being introduced to electronics and the Internet at a young age, which means the future holds a lot of promise. Technology has flourished and become apart of one's everyday life, and some might even say we abuse it because of our need to be constantly connected; however, it is a beneficial tool to have, and I have welcomed it into my life with open arms. It has allowed me to get my work done easily, helped me make connections, taught me r

Anyone can see irony while reading Mark Twain's short story "The Man That Corrupted Hadleyburg." The town of Hadleyburg has a reputation as the most honest and trustworthy town in the area. It has kept this reputation for more than three generations and is extremely proud to be viewed with such high standards. They want to keep the tradition of possessing this reputation going. Parents teach their children from when they are babies about being honest because the most important thing to the town of Hadyleyburg is to carry on and maintain their established reputation. They keep temptations away from the children to help give their children the characteristic of honesty that would become apart of their very being. The other towns around Hadleyburg were jealous of Hadleyburg's widely known reputation of honesty and their capability to not be corrupted. The generalized theme that is present in the town of Hadleyburg provides imagery that fully explains the high standards

I was born and raised in Hong Kong. Living in a city that is always hustling, my life was very structured. I was always doing my homework or preparing for my exams. My schedule hadn't changed much since the day I went to school. I never had too much time to think about who I am and who I wanted to be. As I am getting older, I often ask myself, why I couldn't live a more interesting life and get rid of my structured one. One morning, I was walking to school from the subway station and I saw a huge billboard with a group of teenagers of different ethnicities. All of them had a cheerful and sincere smile on their faces. "Connecting Lives. Sharing Cultures," the slogan of an intercultural exchange organization on the billboard had caught my attention. I had always been dreaming about living in another country and to experience a brand new culture. After a few days of res
