It is known that the Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is not as harmful as Continue reading...

Langston Hughes was a profoundly talented African American poet who flourished during the Harlem Renaissance. He was only twenty-one years old when he wrote the poem “Mother to Son”. Even at a young age Hughes was able to use a simple exchange between a mother and son to convey a much deeper meaning. Through the use of imagery and metaphor Hughes eloquently paints a portrait of the struggles African-Americans have overcome throughout the history of the United States and the commitment to perseverance members of that race will need to survive.
The poem begins with a mother who has Continue reading...

Article Review Paper

The article by Grossmann and Varnum focuses on an analysis of cultural change through an exploration of eight cultural-level markers of individualism in America. The authors state “We have provided a temporary analysis of cultural change in individualism in the United States over a time span of 150 years” (322). The authors’ implicit arguments throughout the article focus on preference for uniqueness in baby naming. It also explores the frequency of individualist themes in books, single-generation relative to multigenerational homes, single-child relative to multi-child families, the percentage of adults and older adults living alone, divorce rates, Continue reading...

The history of African-Americans presents Hayden with the thematic sources of some of his most intensely appreciated and finest poems. For instance, the slaves uprising, led by Cinquez Joseph inspires his poem “Middle Passage” (Alhazov, 2006). The slave ship Armistead as well as the events that occurred after slavery provides crucial fodder for Hayden’s poetry. Further, Hayden’s poetry tries to recover elements that have been lost of the African-American experience by writing about some of the significant African American figures such as Frederick Douglass, Harriet Tubman, and Nat Turner (Alhazov, 2006).
Moreover, Hayden employs modernist mediation on Continue reading...

YOUTH BEING SENT TO ADULT PRISONS

It has been the practice within many societies to punish juvenile offenders differently from the adult perpetrators of the law. Even states established correctional units for persons aged below eighteen or formed separate youth units within the adult prisons. By the end of the twentieth century, however, there was a notable reverse of this policy as more states changed their stand. In the early 1990s, forty-five states of America had passed legislations allowing for the persecution of persons under the age of eighteen within the adult correction units.
The reasons that led to such a drastic change of position Continue reading...

As early as the 1930’s, discussions concerning the identification and treatment of alcoholism have challenged the medical community (Jellinek, 1960). The models for treatment all demanded abstinence; people who drank to access were considered immoral and/or diseased. The health risks associated with excessive drinking include the common cold, cancer, bone density, cognitive functions, high blood pressure, stroke, ulcers, atherosclerosis, and heart disease (Hingson & Rehm, 2013). However, the effect of drinking alcohol is difficult to determine due to under reporting, errors in perception of time or amounts ingested, and methods of data collection.
A literature review was conducted of Continue reading...

Abstract

Conscientious objection on the part of a nurse is not taken lightly by the nurse, the facility, co-workers, or patients. There is a wide range of procedures in which a nurse may refuse participation, but there are steps to take prior to the situation occurring in order for the facility to make arrangements to allow the procedure to take place. Nurses are protected legally in cases of conscientious objection, but this does not allow a person to deny participation in one instance and not in another nor to apply conscientious objection without discussion with administration. This paper discusses ten Continue reading...

Literature Review

Introduction
The frequent extensively applied quality improvement techniques from industry are investigated in the setting of educational sector for instance, Total Quality Management (TQM); Six Sigma; ISO 9001; Quality Function Deployment (QFD); and the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award. In educational sector, TQM appeared one of the greatest numbers of past uses, whereas QFD is in the process of attaining acceptance. Additional methods explored in this sector did not show substantial application in America. A persistent enhancement method with the name of the Academic Quality Improvement Program (AQIP) applied widely in educational sector and explained as to how education Continue reading...

Within the context of modernity in the twenty-first century, change is unequivocally necessary due to increasing competition from Eastern religions and other non-traditional religious sects combined with the nascent forces of modernism and postmodernism that have slowly squeezed out Christianity. Understanding what state Christian ministry and evangelism are in will facilitate the reformulation of and a new design for an evangelistic ministry within local contexts using support from secondary literature, scriptural evidence, and survey analyses. The influence of Continue reading...

Vitamin D is an essential nutrient that is not synthesized by the body and has to be obtained through diet and by the interaction of the UVB rays with the skin (Shuler et al. 2012, p. 496). A study on the levels of vitamin D in an average British adult showed that more than 50% of the adults had vitamin D deficiency and 16% of them exhibit severe insufficiency during winters (Hyppönen and Power 2007, p. 862). This low level of vitamin D synthesis in winter is attributed to the blockage of UVB rays reaching the Continue reading...

DJ’s across the South challenged traditional popular music of the time by playing these artists and their new brand of music. Their absences in the early 1960’s left a Continue reading...

Abstract

Most often affecting the elderly, dementia causes complete inability to perform routine daily activities due to impairment of memory, thinking and social abilities. Caring for dementia patients can be very challenging given their actions, reactions and activities have the potential to inflict pain, injury, or harm to themselves or to those around them. The use of restraints as a means to control dementia patient actions is a routine practice in healthcare. The restraints include seat belts, collars, chains, bed rails, lap barriers, wrist restraints, ties to bed, strait jackets, padded cells, and electronic devices. Clinical and healthcare research suggests Continue reading...

Culturally competent healthcare systems are those that have the capacity to provide both linguistically and culturally appropriate services. Such providers have the capacity to reduce ethical and racial health disparities in the provision of health services. One thing that hampers the provision of qualities services in the healthcare system is when the clients are unable to understand what the health care providers are telling them. It is even worse when the providers do not seem to Continue reading...
