THESIS: Both urban and rural veterans should have access to similar comprehensive healthcare packages. Nevertheless, there has been discrimination on the provision of these services.

What do I already know about my topic?

I agree with the claim that terrorism will never have an ethical explanation. No matter what its form is it brings a negative impact in the lives of the people affected by the act. For instance, the 9/11 terrorism act has changed the cycle of lives of not only the Americans but many people around the world. It provided deep scars to the survivors and a gaping hole in the hearts of the people who lost their loved ones in the incident. It also caused a domino effect of racism towards Muslim people, because people unconsciously are observed to have a negative ...

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in civilians vs. military

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is the main psychological challenge affecting veterans. According to Gaylord, Holcomb and Zolezzi (2009), up to thirty percent of combat veterans suffer from PTSD. In addition, up to 20 percent non-injured war veterans suffer from PTSD (Gaylord, Holcomb, & Zolezzi, 2009). With respect to civilians, victims of burns are more susceptible to PTSD than others. However, it is evident that PTSD is more common in military personnel than civilians.

Entrepreneurship is often described as innovation, creativity, the establishment of new organizations and firms. Its occurrence is in almost all sectors of the economy, though the bulk of entrepreneurship occurs in the private with a very small part occurring in public organizations. In recent years however, entrepreneurship in the public sector has become more pronounced, partly due to the challenges faced by this sector as a result of conservatism in the way of doing business and high levels of bureaucracy.

Entrepreneurship in the public sector serves as a way of identifying new opportunities, an aid in judgemental decision making and innovation which ...

In Deborah Scranton's documentary, War Tapes, focuses on the war that happened in Iraq using the soldiers' point of view and personal war stories, as well as their families' who are all based in the United States. What started out simply as a documentary of events that transpired in Iraq has grown into a movie-like presentation of the actual events. The documentary was wrought with emotions and thus, bleeding with human-interest factors. While this type of news reporting is nothing new considering what is known as participatory reporting, the question about objectivity arises as well in that the stories all ...

As a former solder and a patriot he had never been involved in any act that contravened the law.

The imagery of Ishmael Beah’s memoirs makes readers become witnesses in numerous acts of unimaginable violence. Instead of hearing about Beah’s experiences, we participate actively as we read further into the daily life of boy soldiers. Many of the grim images left me breathing heavily because I could actually “see” what Beah describes in each horrific scene. One scene in particular earlier in the book, made me realize that even from the very beginning, boy soldiers are able to forget their morals, feelings, and identities and accept only what they see. When the day-to-day imagery is ...

The Afghanistan war was conducted by the American soldiers in a bid to stamp out the terrorist group of al Qaeda. The group enjoyed support by the extremist leadership of the Taliban within Afghanistan. The first few years of the war provided success with the military group scattering and some of the members moving to the mountainous regions.

The presidential address showed that the group was regrouping which would be a problem to the homeland security (Military, P.3). The regrouping members of the terrorist group have been blamed for causing insecurity in Pakistan region. The group has started causing insecurity within ...

The painting was done by Jacques Louis David back in 1974, and later was accredited for having spurred up the French revolution. It depicts a man (Horatius) standing between a group of three men (his sons) and women holding three swords above the heads of the three men. The three men are dressed like soldiers symbolizing authority. The man in the middle with the three swords is having his back facing the women which symbolizes that women are not important in the struggle to unchain the society from the manacles of a war threat. The women let their emotions show while the ...

Many people who suffer from a substance addiction also suffer from a mental health problem at the same time and the difficulties they are faced with far outweigh the effects of either alone. Often, only one of the two problems is identified and that depends on the primary problems treated where the diagnosis is given and which problem is most prominent. When one of the problems is severe it may eclipse the other problems the individual is suffering from.

Although one problem may be considered primary and the rest secondary, this does not mean that the individual isn’t experiencing serious ...

The hegemonic status of the United States military results in unequal and unfair treaties with other, less powerful countries; these treaties often include clauses that make prosecuting the US military men difficult. In this essay, I argue that the military power of the US has created a culture for American soldiers which eliminates potential consequences for violent crimes; this culture has led to an increase in violence against women from other countries as well as against women within the United States military. Assault, murder, and rape by the US military personnel go unpunished. These acts of violence are perceived in ...

Socialism refers to the ownership of general property by the people or the state and has at times been related to the rights of a government in power over the revenue of production and manufacture (Butgereit and Carden, 2011, p.41). It is important to note that this form of property ownership will be at the hands of the people but controlled by the government voted into office at a stipulated time. Communism on the other hand has been defined as the ownership of property by a given community with each person having equal rights over the same. In other words, communism ...

- Introduction to Adult Nursing
Nursing is an important role to play, be it for the young ones or the adults or the elderly.

Introduction

Cross-cultural decision making skills have been recognized to be increasingly vital to military and defense operations (Johnson & Friedland, 2009). The day-to-day operations of international military forces, in their interaction with different cultures as they work overseas, require intercultural competence to make decisions that are both appropriate and culturally sensitive (Johnson & Friedland, 2009). Cross cultural competency (3C) is accomplished through three unique steps: Cultural self-awareness, suspension of judgments and biases, and the development of skills that fit within domains of a new culture (Selmeski, 2009). Already, educational measures are being implemented by military colleges to promote 3C in military ...

The historical facts regarding the interaction of Africans and native Indians are not well documented.

The pyramids found in Egypt are similar to those found in Central America and the ancient form of writing used by Native Americans was similar to that of ancient Egyptians. Indeed, Columbus crew gave accounts of coming across people of African descent among the Indian tribes when they reached ...

Why, according to Xenophon, are human beings so difficult to rule?

It is, indeed, difficult to rule human beings. Such is because of the fact that human beings possess the ability to reason, which enables them to become highly susceptible to their desires and decisions. In that case, they become very hard to rule because they do not follow instructions coming from others apart from them right away. For them to follow someone who is sending out orders to them, they have to use their reasoning powers to discern whether such orders are compatible with their line of thinking. Thus, an effective ruler of humans is one that possesses great ...

Heath offers insights for use in the dissertation study for investigating any difficulties in the area of Americans learning Arabic. This study specifically addresses the learner and his/her creativity in Arabic communicative competence as it applies toward competently completing both the DLI course and the OPI (Heath, 1987).

Alptekin (2002) discusses the notion of communicative competence that suggests that native-speaker competence is the metric by which communicative competence is decided. Alptekin argues that this particular norm creates an unrealistic and utopian model for language learning that makes it impossible for SLA to be considered complete or sufficient. Native speakership ...

In the military, effective communication forms an integral part.

Inability to effectively communicate and mis interpretation have historically cost the military. For instance, during the civil war, it is believed that Gettysburg victory depended on how the juniors decoded General Robert ...

The Indian and Pakistani governments, rejecting world opinion to the contrary, continued the testing of nuclear weapons

Nuclear weapons are a big threat to international security. Often the weapons have been used as instruments of mass destruction, by countries bent on violation of the liberal international relations. India and Pakistan have continued to test nuclear weapons in disregard to the world opinion going, further, even enriching their nuclear heads. Neither India nor Pakistan, however, has been involved in nuclear war with any state in history. This is irrespective of the global phobia, over the prospects of abuse of these weapons by outside forces, particularly in global terrorist activities looking real.
