Sport Fishing Pros and Cons

Abstract
In the past, people used to fish for the purpose of eating or trading, this tradition has seen great change afterwards, so we can see people practise fishing for entertainment purposes, or what is called “Sport Fishing”. Those who perform sport fishing are fishing only for the sport; they catch the fish and return it again to the water. They do not eat it, not even keep it, some people prefer to capture photo with the fish and then let it return to the water again. From the foregoing, people who practise sport fishing are found to ...

Oxygen therapy refers to administration of oxygen to a patient as a medical intervention. The purposes can vary in care for both chronic and acute patients. It is normally used when a patient is hypoxic and is unable to supply his or her cells with enough oxygen through normal respiratory processes. The delivery system chosen depends on the age of the patient, humidification needs, oxygen requirements or the therapeutic goals, and, the patient’s tolerance to the selected interface.

Acupuncture is considered one of the ancient traditional Chinese medical practices, whose age cannot be precisely defined, but is generally believed to be approximately 2000 years. As medical experts of the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine of the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services define it, acupuncture is a technique that involves stimulation of the points in the body, often by inserting thin needles into it (Lao et al., 2014). It is believed that every human has the energy of life called qi, and this energy flows in the human body through the meridians that are the streams ...

Plato looks at pleasure as a source of delight and sensual enjoyment. In his work ‘Gorgias’, Plato talks of Socrates, and makes him relay his views. His concept is that things are termed beautiful based on the pleasure derived from them or their use. In the same way, the lack of pleasure from an item determines its lack of beauty. Plato classifies pleasure into two categories. There are those pleasures that lead to good ends, and there are those pleasures that are purposed only for fulfilling desires. Therefore, there are good pleasures and bad pleasures. Plato holds that the methods, ...

Eckhart Tolle, in Chapter 6 asserts that people should live their lives and create happiness at their present moment, without considering their material possessions. In this chapter, Tolle cautions the consciousness of the readers. Tolle explains that once an individual ceases to identify his or her pain, the pain is transmuted, meaning that the individual no longer experiences the pain (Tolle 178). Emotional pain is more dangerous than the natural pain, and thus individuals should learn to avoid the situations that trigger emotions in themselves. When the human body is exposed to excess pain, it reaches a point where the ...

Introduction

Through the years, circumcision of male infants occurs worldwide for a variety of reasons. The reasons range from; religious, medical, cultural and even personal preferences. Though it is a widely practiced ritual, recent debates have seen debates rise over its importance and necessity according to the Royal Australasian College of Physicians (2010), arguments arise on the ethical, and human rights issues, and health benefits of infant male circumcision. Circumcision is a safe procedure; however, in some cases, there may be minor or major complications. The process involves the surgical removal of the foreskin of the penis. Before the process, anesthetic cream is ...

Assisted suicide

Recently in the newspapers there was a man who killed his wife who was suffering from stage four cancer.

This act of mercy killing is called euthanasia.

Precisely, most people do not realize the nature of fear and the reasons for its occurrence. The reason is that a fear deadens mind, thus, a person cannot oppose it with rational explanation. In most cases, the fear of death or thanatophobia is justified by its connection with any disease, pain, loneliness, and suffering. There is also a belief that death is not bad and people should not be afraid of it because fear is a burden for a human being. For example, Epicurus and his followers believed that a person does not feel pain or suffering at the ...

According to Gulanick and Myers (2013), the nursing process has been identified as the most appropriate strategy which can be employed in trying to ensure that the most suitable care is provided to a particular individual. Ensuring that the patient gets the best out of the Caregiving process should form the primary objective of any nursing undertaking. Addition studies (de Oliveira et al. 2012; Weber and Kelley, 2013), show carrying out a thorough assessment of a patient is a significant step as it forms the basis of a care plan. Studies by (Papathanasiou et al., 2013; Morrissey, 2016) showed ...

Q1: Prioritizing patient care will help to complete nurse’s shift duties without any adverse patient complication. Prioritizing will help to plan out the day and in managing the cases in the most effective way (Alfaro-LeFevre 2014). The best path to plan care for the patient with different medical and surgical priorities is to set timed objectives and meet the discharge goals based on the urgency of the medical or surgical condition. The handover from the staff of the previous shift provided the information for 4 patients, of which Lucy’s condition is more of an emergency that will ...

Overview of Abdomen

The abdomen is assessed using inspection, auscultation and palpation (White 2005). The abdomen is inspected for size and symmetry and is normally rounded, symmetric, protuberant, and soft because of weak abdominal musculature with a slightly greater diameter above the umbilicus than below. The subcutaneous blood vessels in the abdomen may appear distended and blue (Williams & Wilkins 2006).

Abdominal assessment is complex, largely because of the many vital organs and blood vessels within the cavity of abdomen and its life-sustaining functions, such as digestion and elimination that are performed here (Weber & Kelley 2009). The abdomen houses the several body ...

A Systematic Review Of Low Back Pain Cost Of Illness Studies In The United States And Internationally.

Introduction
The medical challenge in the part of low back pain (commonly abbreviated as LBP) is on an increase. Due to requirement of attention it costs the economy dearly where the value of cost is in both time and money. Diagnosis methods and equipment, and medical improvements have been seen, but still LBP remain a menace, with the worst part being that number of patients are increasing per unit time. Developed countries face the problem of an equal magnitude to that of developing countries in this. America is also facing an economic challenge due to LBP even after large ...

The drug that is highlighted in this paper is opiates. Opiates come in many forms are usually prescribed as pain medication. Opiates include most prescription pain medications such as: heroin, morphine, codeine, hydrocodone, oxycodone, et al. These drugs, while good for a short time after a serious accident, surgery, or other medical condition, to control pain, are highly addictive and can become an addictive substance in an individual who is prone to addictive habits. (The Abuse of Prescription Drugs, 2009)
Although opiates are one of the most addictive substances and cause thousands of deaths from self-medicating, there are not ...

Introduction:

Physician assisted suicide is the act of destroying one’s own life with the assistance of a physician. According to Walker (25), in Oregon based on a terminally ill patient’s request a physician can prescribe a lethal dose of medication to take the life of a patient. To stop the pain what ethical issues surround the termination of the life of a terminally ill patient? Who bears the responsibility of making this decision? Is it the patient, the medical practitioner, or the patient’s relatives? What considerations are required before making the decision to end a patient’s ...

English

Patients who have been suffering unbearable pain or are terminally ill and have no hope of getting better, have a right to take a stance and end the misery. And to that end, a medical doctor, for the benefit of such a patient, should consider it ethical and their moral duty to assist the patient commit suicide 1. Doctors should have a clear ethical stance on assisted suicide, so that when the circumstances demand, the doctor, beyond a shadow of doubt, can help the distressed and the patient's family take a prompt decision to avoid any unnecessary agony.

“O Me! O Life!” is a free verse poem written in the traditional Walt Whitman style. It explores the old age question that has pre-occupied human existence for ages, the question of life and its meaning. Whitman manages to weave together his free verse form with a dark imagery that portray an individual at odds with their self and their purpose in life. This paper seeks to analyze how Whitman uses his free verse form and literary devices to create a vivid imagery of an individual on a quest to find satisfaction in their existence.

Literature Review

An appraisal is a document that gives explanation about something or someone and aims at giving the value of quality of that particular thing or person. In this essay, the appraisal of the above- mentioned article would be outlined in details. However, before the highlight of this book is done, it would be fundamental to carry out a brief comparison with other related literatures. Here, the comparisons would be done between the article and at least four other articles. The first article to be looked into is the ‘Effects of surgery, general anaesthesia, and preoperative epidural analgesia on the immune function ...

An Analysis

Ostensibly a travel piece for ‘Gourmet’ magazine, ‘Consider the Lobster’ begins as a critical and sardonic description about the commercialization of festival tourism. It eventually develops into a moral reflection on the ethics of animal suffering. The slow development of his argument is one of Wallace’s key strategies. It is bookended by misanthropic sentiment, from hyperbolic complaints about traffic (Wallace, 1) to sardonic remarks in his closing paragraph about the inability of “public discussion” to solve the moral dilemmas he raises. (7).Through a variety of techniques, Wallace presents an argument that is cogent, lacking in dogma and reaches only tentative conclusions.

Abstract

The paper explores what hardships black American women are facing in their pursuit of happiness. Though the time of slavery has passed, people still suffer enslavement. In modern world it is some sort of “spiritual enslavement”. Women try to survive in spite of all the obstacles they meet in their life path. It is hard to live in the hostile surroundings where people still judge you for the colour of skin. More difficult is to stay in constant fear of being abused or raped by your own husband. The story that may seem invented or exaggerated is actually the ...

Visual Literacy: Thomas Hoepker 9/11 Photograph

According to Liu, the rapid advancement of science and technology is influencing significant transformation in human communication systems (1259). The visual element of communication is now being utilized widely with images, color, and other multimodal resources being used for more than entertainment and illustration (Harrison 46). Visual messages are being used to convey significant meaning (Liu 1259). The visual culture is becoming popular due to its ability to communicate instantly and universally via the Internet (Bamford 2). As such, people should be able to decode and interpret the various visual images that are exposed to them every day to ...

As everyone grows up they are told, drugs are bad and that they should not use them. But before one gets to understand what drugs are and their use, they may never understand why they are cautioned against them. One thing is for sure, and children grow up knowing that drugs are dangerous and should not use them, but the question is whether all drugs are bad and that they should not be used. When cautioned against the use of drugs, it means that the use of them is illegal. But how then is it possible that some of ...

Whether or not the right to liberty should be protected and observed at the time of death is a matter of debate. Philosophically speaking, right to liberty at the time of death ought to be upheld because the ultimate quality differentiating human beings from animals is the capacity to make decisions. Right to liberty is essentially the right to make decisions. The debate revolving around the right to liberty is the foundation for the concept of The Legal Right to Die (Palmer 87). Over the years, various decisions have been made with regard to the legal right to die. The ...

According to Exum (2002), there is research evidence that will show that that alcohol causes an impairment on the ability of the drinker to understand the consequences of aggression. At the same time, some of the offenders who have been provoked can lead to anger that may increase the probability of aggressive response. In the study of the author of alcohol and aggression, it was shown that intoxication fosters violent behavior when participants were angered (Exum, 2002, p.936). Towards the end of the study, it was revealed that alcohol and anger and enhances the violent decision ...

The importance of honesty runs deeply throughout human nature. One of the most common manifestations of honesty has to do with money. Mark Twain, one of the famed American cynics, wrote that “honesty is the best policy – when there is money in it.” When there is a financial (or other material) incentive, people tend to be more likely to be honest. However, building a track record of dishonesty can be corrosive to the soul; in Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, the entire course of the story centers around being honest about one’s inner pain instead of concealing it. The ...

Suicide in the Military

Over the last decade, an increase in the number suicides has been noted in the military (Castro & Kintzle, 2014; Rudd et al., 2015). Research studies have related mental health issues such as anxiety, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, depression, and substance abuse or dependence among active and inactive servicemen. Notably, the rate of hospitalization due to mental health problems and suicide ideation has risen rapidly in the military circles over the last ten years (Castro & Kintzle, 2014). Many social workers have used the military transition theory to illustrate the possible causes of increased psychological health issues among war veterans that ...

The article ‘Terminally ill Toronto man seeks physician-assisted death’ talks about an 80-year-old man that has requested for assisted suicide from physicians since he has got lymphoma which is in the advanced stage and is really aggressive (Gallant, 2016). To do so, he is filing for an application in the Superior Court, which he aims at exempting him from any legal repercussions and blockades that usually accompany such actions. The patient sites that the chances of him surviving from the condition are very minimal and so they neediest to have him alleviated from the pain that he currently faces. ...

Levin describes a scenario in which he claims torture is morally obligatory (mandatory). Recall that he puts his foot in his mouth in 3 different ways. That is, he makes 3 mistakes in describing this scenario (the terrorist has hidden a nuclear bomb in NYC). Given these mistakes, it does not follow it is morally obligatory to torture the terrorist. HOW WOULD YOU FIX THESE 3 MISTAKES?

1. Torture won’t work out if a terrorist prefers death to failure.
2. One can not distinguish certain pain intensity as “the most excruciating possible pain”.
3. Levin’s statement that torture ...

The use of marijuana for medicinal purposes, a social or political issue, seems to be in question. The opponents to the use of marijuana for medicinal purposes stick to the same argument of social and at times religious effects. The support of the movement seems to be basing all evidence in the far-reaching uses of cannabis beyond medical application. With Washington and Colorado both recently legalizing marijuana for recreational use, it reopens the debate about whether or not marijuana should be legal for medicinal purposes in the United States. A look at the current research, an analyzing the argument of ...

Abortion is defined as the act of clinically or surgically terminating pregnancy. A clinical abortion involves the use of medication to get rid of a pregnancy while a surgical abortion is carried out in the operating room whereby surgical equipments are used. There are many concerns on whether abortion should be permitted. Some people equate abortion to murder while others are neutral. This has resulted in two schools of thought; pro-choice and pro-life. Pro-choice are those who believe the woman should make a choice. On the contrary, pro-life are who believe abortion to murder. Therefore, it should not be legalized. Consequently, abortion ...

Abortion Under this neutral, it would seem, short word, there is hiding the real human tragedy, crime, and simply put, murder. Yes, it is a murder indeed, an attempt on the life of a small, completely innocent person. Whatever attempts to justify this act: financial situation, the circumstances, etc., they still do not remove responsibility for infanticide. After all, every person, since he/she is conceived, has the right to be born, to develop and to live.
Doctors often suspend from a crime under the guise of cold terms, calling the baby just an embryo. In fact, in this way they are ...

Introduction The debate on the moral argument is unending, as Stich (2012), states that the disagreement arising from the debate on the topic is unending.

This writing explains the Meaning of moral claims; the objections of moral claims; the responses to the objections and the arising implications. Through these meanings, it is clear how the disagreement continues to factor in as more questions get asked.Meaning Moral claims ...

The Opposing Emotions Found in Roethke's "My Papa's Waltz"
Roethke's "My Papa's Waltz" is a very brief poem, but one filled with powerful verses and a plethora of emotions. It is a poem that talks about a bedtime dance performed by a father-son duo. The poem has given birth to multiple interpretations over the years, regarding the speaker’s emotion towards his father. While some argue that the poem is about a father physically controlling or even abusing his son, some see it as an expression of love by a clumsy and rough, yet, affectionate father. However, familial relations are a complex subject, and ...

Religion cannot be defined by a particular set of words due to its complex nature. Different philosophers, scholars and theologians have held different opinions on religion, some which are radical. Karl Marx and Sigmund Freud stood out for their unique views on religion, which have been studied for centuries. They both rooted for the abolition of religion. Religious instinct is a part of human existence. Every society has something that would be classified as religion by modern scientists. Human beings have formed a strong inclination towards religion since time immemorial. Marx described religion as the ‘opium of the people’, a quite controversial and popular ...

A slave named Androcles once escaped from his master and fled to the forest. As he was wandering about there he came upon a Lion lying down moaning and groaning. At first he turned to flee, but finding that the Lion did not pursue him, he turned back and went up to him. As he came near, the Lion put out his paw, which was all swollen and bleeding, and Androcles found that a huge thorn had got into it, and was causing all the pain. He pulled out the thorn and bound up the paw of the Lion, who was ...

This thesis shall be limited to a critical analysis of Alain de Botton’s book, The Consolations of Philosophy; of the year 2000 which introduced a new perspective not only to the study of philosophy but also its application in our day to day lives. It is significant to point out that this book was a follow-up of the original Consolation of Philosophy that was written by Boethius in 524 A.D. basically, Boethius personified philosophy as a woman whereby he asserted paradoxical relationship between fortune and misfortune especially in relation to the phenomenon of human happiness. Therefore whilst the latter ...

The existence of differences among humans bars actual existence of equality. This is because the differences cannot be overcome by any means. The white for long have claimed to be superior to the blacks. This is only by considering the race factor. However there exist no differences between the white and the black in terms of intellectual ability, moral capacities and ability to communicate and hence another set of inequalities sets in. Such considerations may not be taken to explain the existence of inequality entirely. Basically, equality should be taken largely as a moral ideal but not a simple assertion of a ...

Chapter nine of the book looks into assisted death, euthanasia, right to die and abortion. These four items characterize as the most controversial issues present in the current times.

The main reason is that they center on an individual’s perspective and will without thinking of the environment. For instance, abortion is a crucial talk in most human rights convention in that there are people ...

Human body is made of senses that humans use in everyday activities to determine perception of data and hence make decisions. The perception has several reasons that help the humans to belief in the accuracy and inaccuracy of the perceived data. There are five reasons of believing in the accuracy of the data. These include, touch, and smell, hearing, taste, and sight.
When one touches something, the sense determines the perception. This can either be cold, hot, rough, smooth, etc. the message is automatically sent to the brain for interpretation. The brain then determines the mode of reaction ...

Addictive behaviors are both reinforcing and rewarding. They become the primary focus of an individual’s life to the disadvantage of other activities. They are of many types of addictive behaviors with sex and drug addictions being among the major addictions (Wu. et al., 2006).

The CAGE questionnaire is one of the methods used to screen alcohol patients. It is important to use this method because it is a very sensitive method used to identify excessive drinking in patients. The CAGE questionnaire is also very accurate and specific especially if it contains open-ended questions. Most clinics also prefer this method because it is easy to use. Using an alcohol withdrawal management protocol is one of the common and yet difficult methods to use. Many people opt not to use this particular method because of one reason or the other. My experience, when using the alcohol ...

The fact is all individuals are equally biased. Individuals cannot help it. They can only distinguish this innate bias and be able to counter against the same. The basis of economics provides that derivation or results and decision making needs to be supported by appropriate reason. It is dependent upon an exact consideration of something's value versus its expenses. However, life proves it to be totally wrong. Behavioral Economics shows that individuals are effectively affected by wrong information and different types of irrationality. Besides, the first year students are regularly unconscious of a drastic number of sources that impact their ...

Cassandra is a novel told about the survivors of the Trojan War. It is the story of a young woman named Cassandra, and her struggles during the post-war era. There are many different ways to analyze literature, but one of the leading literary analysts, Gerard Genette, has provided an extremely useful method for analyzing novels like Cassandra by Christa Wolf. Because Cassandra does not have a coherent or cohesive timeline, and rather jumps about in time with little warning, special types of literary analyses must be applied to the text to truly dig into the meaning of the multifaceted text.

Abstract

This paper explores five peer-reviewed articles that report studies on the effects of abortion on the well-being of women who underwent abortions. It also reviews an ongoing study that touches on the effects of denied abortions. The paper examines arguments of the health effects, briefly touching also on the economic effects, of abortion and if these effects have great implications whether or not to limit the access of abortion to the female public. The published studies examined in the paper lead to suggest that abortions are generally safe and the side effects are minor and do not ...

The Shannon-Weaver Model of Communication uses a combination of noise, channeling of information transmission, messaging, signaling, information sources, and the encoding and decoding of information. The model is named after Claude Elwood Shannon and Warren Weaver. It was established in 1948 and was a revolutionary theory of communication at that time. The term now known as the Shannon-Weaver model is now accepted in the social science fields of psychology, organizational management and analysis, and education (Gozzi, 2004).
In health care, the focus is more focused on the communication aspects of the theory. The interruptions and barriers are especially important as ...

Introduction

Feminism has in the past, created different perceptions, notions and ideas. The major ideas that have been discussed in several platforms about feminism include the role of relationship between men and women, especially in terms of gender equality, where feminists seek to have equal opportunities with men (Martin, Wood and Little p,10-24). These feminists believe that both men and women have equal responsibility and, therefore, should be given equal chances, which include equal pay for the same jobs, and equal considerations in employment opportunities. Secondly, the feminists have discussed in these platforms the privileges that are being taken for ...

A maxim that, in order to maximize my pleasure, I will take recreational drugs whenever I feel like is self-defeating. It cannot be applied as a universal law to all humans as rational beings. It will be a failure to cultivate talents in exchange for a life full of pleasure and leisure. This is also a compromise of human capacity for self insight, self development and personal growth. This is because it is just a quick fix to challenge individuals are facing in their lives.
Additionally, Kant provided arguments against taking of recreational drugs because he termed them as exclusive substitutes for self ...
