Every culture in the human history had its own model of development and a certain ideal to follow. These ideals could be conditioned by territorial specifics or historical reasons. On the other hand, some ideals were conditioned by the reasons that created certain cultures and kept them going in the times of difficulties and struggles. American culture is no an exception. Being formed on the basis of free will and one’s ability to achieve success through hard work and commitment, the American culture created the ideal of the American dream. This ideal became the topic of various social Continue reading...

INTROUCTION

In his seminal work. The Souls of Black People, written by civil rights leader and liberal W.E.B. Dubois, stated “It is a peculiar sensation, this double consciousnesstwo souls, two thoughts, two unreconciled strivings; two warring ideals in one dark body whose dogged strength alone keeps it from being torn asunder” (Dubois). W.E.B Du Bois, the founder of the seminal civil rights groups known as NAACP, launched a liberal and vitriolic campaign against Booker T. Washington and the conservative doctrine that Washington espoused in order to achieve racial progress and Continue reading...

The American culture was injured severely by the colonization by the British forces that sought to control the whole of North America back then in 1770s. The American language together with other cultures long forgotten were slowly eroded and replaced by several British cultures till some of the Americans could bear no more with the dissolution of their beliefs and cultures. The connection that the Americans shared with one another will dissipate once the Americans adopted the new and foreign cultures of the British and so they had to do something about it.

In his long-awaited monograph Blood Struggle: The Rise of Modern Indian Nations, Charles Wilkinson, a distinguished professor of public land law and Indian law at the University of Colorado law school, examines the nadir of the sovereign status of Native American tribes during the 1950s and the specter of their demise. The modern era of Native American tribal government commenced in 1959 with the seminal court case decision Williams v. Lee, which imbued meaning to tribal treaties that had been implemented decades prior in the effort to defend tribal sovereignty. Despite this counter-narrative’s focus, it is unequivocal that Continue reading...

Mark Twin famously advised aspiring novelists to “write what you know,” and F. Scott Fitzgerald based much of This Side of Paradise on his own personal life. He grew up in the Midwest, studied at Princeton, served in the Army, and partied in New York City. Fitzgerald used these experiences to write his first novel, featuring Amory Blaine, a quintessential privileged and self-entitled snob. The narrative traces his experiences and philosophical development from a spoiled teenager to a hapless adult; lost and incapable of any real action. However, the novel is a traditional American coming of age story, and Continue reading...

The American Dream

Almost everybody wants to experience living in the land of milk and honey: America. Others called it the ‘land of the free’ because of the type of government they have and the way that the citizens enjoy their freedom in almost every aspect of their lives. These names that describe America aided other people in coining the phrase ‘The American Dream’. Every person who lives in America has their own meaning of ‘The American Dream,’ but for me ‘The American Dream’ means giving equal opportunity to people regardless of their race, color, and culture and letting them be proud Continue reading...

Introduction

Different authors have over the years used their literary works to depict some of the contemporary issues facing the society. In fact, most of the themes in many fictional literary works mirror the major issues that affect the immediate society. The authors usually go to great lengths to pass messages about these issues, particularly on the effect that they have on the society members. Short stories are a particular brand of literature that have since time immemorial been used to portray some of the prevalent themes in the society. Examples of common themes explored include isolation, marital problems, alcoholism, Continue reading...

In the United States, as well as the world at large, the issue of violence against women remains a pressing problem. With thirty years experience in preventing and overcoming violence, Americans carefully calculate the extent of the problems and risks associated with it. Thus, according to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, 25% of women in the US are exposed to domestic violence in their lifetime. It is also proved that women aged 20-24 are most likely to be abused by an intimate partner. And every sixth woman during her lifetime was the victim of rape or attempted rape.

The Wheeling, West Virginia speech by Senator Joseph McCarthy, then the head of the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) in 1950, was a seminal moment in the Red Scare of the 1950s. The author himself was a participant of the events of which he discussed, as he was a noted political figure during the American retaliation against Communism in the 1950s, at the height of the Cold War.

According to the Oxford Dictionary of English (2010), a slumlord is “A landlord of slum property, typically one who charges extortionate rents”. Concurrently, the literature on slum proprietors and slum dwellers provide two distinct ways of defining a slumlord, each revolving around the given definition. First, based on property ownership, some of the literature identifies a slumlord as the proprietor of an area befitting the characteristics of a slum. According to the United Nations' Human Settlements Program (2012) slums have “deplorable living and environmental conditions and are characterized by inadequate water supply, poor sanitation, overcrowded and dilapidated housing" (p.99).

Diabetes is called diabetes mellitus by the physicians who are the combination of metabolic illnesses that develop when the blood glucose level of an individual is elevated. The rise in blood sugar concentration can be due to the insufficient production of the hormone insulin or the irresponsive behavior of the cells of the body towards the insulin. On the other hand, diabetes can be caused due to both reasons as well (Kaul et al., 2013). Patients who suffer from diabetes becomes the victim of polyuria in which Continue reading...

9/11 is one of the most talked about terrorist acts of the 21st century. It not only pinpointed the flaw in the US security system, but also showed how even the world’s greatest power is so vulnerable to terrorism.

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...

The Decline in the Twenty-First Century Christian Church: Strengthening the Mission, Operation, and Commitment of the Local Church’s Spiritual Formation

INTRODUCTION

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...

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.

Introduction

In adults above the age of 45, cardiovascular diseases are common. There are several risks factors associated with cardiovascular disease such as hypertension, low density lipoprotein (LDL), gender (male), smoking, and low socioeconomic status. Few studies have suggested the link between atherosclerotic diseases and infection. Many researchers have suggested the link between several viruses and bacteria and the etiology of cardiovascular diseases. In transient bacteremia, dental procedures and periodontitis are considered as potential factors. In such cases, full mouth debridement resulted in Schwatzman reactions. In patient with periodontitis, gentle mastication can release bacterial endotoxins in the blood stream. During Continue reading...

Abstract

Workplace diversity is a broad and often contentious term to define fully. However, its abuses lead the United States Congress to pass Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1969, which created the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and tasked it to implement the Act and the subsequent diversity laws, such as the Equal Employment Opportunity Act of 1972 and the Civil Rights Act of 1991. Historically, the acceptance of the diversity concept particularly among companies took years to grow. And EEOC’s enforcement power came years after its establishment in 1969. Managing workplace diversity only gained favor Continue reading...

A progressive taxation template/framework In a progressive tax system, the rich people are taxed more than the poor people. Progressive tax promotes equality in the society because it requires those with more money to remit more taxes while those with less to pay low tax rates. The notion behind this tax is an individual’s ability to pay. The tax rates go up as income increases, and this helps to balance the burden among all groups of taxpayers (The Policy Institute, 2012pg.3).Thosethatearnhighincome are thegreatestbeneficiaries of goodroads, publichospitals, schoolsandallotherinfrastructures that Continue reading...

Abstract

Climate change is a phenomenon that takes place cyclically every few hundred thousand years. However, what sets apart the climate change of this century is that the climactic change has largely been an outcome of human activities, which have given rise to the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. The increased temperature of earth has made observable impacts already, including melting of mountain glaciers, heavy downpours, extreme flooding and droughts, depletion and degradation of natural resources, and an increase in natural calamities. All these effects put together pose a threat to the survival of biodiversity. For the sustenance of biodiversity, Continue reading...

Sickle cell anaemia is a disorder that is hereditary. It is associated with the red blood cells where haemoglobin which is an important component for carrying blood for carrying oxygen is synthesized as abnormal. This leads to impairments in the circulatory system where efficiency in oxygen transportation is greatly reduced. The abnormal haemoglobin makes the cells become rigid and gives them the sickle shape (Peterson, 2009). Sickle cell anaemia is a disorder that causes adverse health problems such as strokes, infections and even deaths. Recent studies have shown significant variations in how the disorder affects the population with one Continue reading...

In ‘Letter to a Christian Nation’, Sam Harris seeks to show people why he does not believe in God and the Bible as the word of the Lord. Arguably, he has been able to convince the readers on his point of view and his strategies. Arguably, one of the key ways through which Harris uses to put his point across is using some of the morally questionable laws of the Bible that govern the land. He also uses existing statistics of conservative communities compared to liberal communities in relation to their moral applicability. Sam Harris can convince the readers Continue reading...

The decades following the Civil War did not bring the equal status among races many had hoped for within the African American community. Poverty and racism were rampant throughout the country and this comes out in much of the literature throughout that era. Two of these pieces are “Sonny’s Blues” and “The Weary Blues.” These two works of literature dwell on the themes of discrimination, racism, and the power of music to overcome these obstacles. Therefore, “Sonny’s Blues” and “The Weary Blues” each speak to how music can be a powerful escape to the injustice and suffering Continue reading...

Logistics, a strictly business concept, is fast changing tracks as Humanitarian Logistics have taken the limelight. Logistics manages the flow of goods from the point of origin to the point of consumption by a customer or a corporation. Transportation has an important influence on Logistics as it determines the efficiency of moving products. The increasing globalization of business activity requires that raw materials and finished goods are moved across several borders. This requires a well laid out Logistics plan and the most important impact comes down to the Transportation sector (Tseng, Taylor, & Yue, 2005).
The not-for-profit sector, however, requires Continue reading...

First day

The first few pages of the book presented the author’s impoverished childhood. It reminded me of the war-ravaged Europe when WWI came to an end. It was saddening that the author had to live during that difficult time in history, and have a father like his who did nothing to alleviate their family’s suffering. I was hooked and continued with enthusiasm as I was eager to learn how the story will unfold and lead to the death of Angela, who turned out to be the author’s mother.

Dieticians and Nutritionists continuously emphasize healthy eating choices. The food that we eat has a direct effect to our health. Legislators and government leaders understand the importance of eating healthy foods that some local government officials are conducting significant initiatives to encourage and help the public make healthy eating choices. One of such initiatives is food labelling.

The significance of healthy eating choices

It is given that unhealthy foods adversely affect one’s health. Nevertheless, much worse than the individual impact of eating unhealthy foods are its economic and social effects (Golan, Kuchler, Mitchell, Greene & Jessup, 2001).

A wider array of researches carried out in the recent past indicate that there exists a significant association between arthritis and periodontal diseases.
