Every single human being would agree that we each carry our own burden. Personal struggles define us because they influence how we act, make decisions, and plans all towards the goal of unburdening ourselves. One of philosophical questions raised in author John Green is looking for Alaska involve the labyrinth as a metaphor for human beings’ personal struggles. As an individual, one would navigate or travel through the tangled path such as the labyrinth and dealing with our personal struggles is similar to the feeling of being trapped in a maze, and attempting and hoping that one would be able to ...

Many oil companies are aggressively seeking heavy oil as an upcoming energy resource as the world’s energy demand increases. With continued improvements in technology, this once costly source of energy is becoming a viable source of energy. It is estimated that the U.S. has a total of approximately 104 billion barrels of heavy oil and natural bitumen compared to a total of only 22 billion barrels of conventional crude oil (McMahon, 2013). Of the 154 deposits with more than 50 million barrels in the U.S. heavy oil, excluding Alaska, 121 of these deposits are located in California found within several basins ( ...

Domestic abuse is still a major problem for many women, particularly in the United States. Alaska is no exception; according to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, women have a 25% chance of experiencing some form of domestic abuse in their lifetime (2005). Domestic abuse can cover myriad offenses, from physical violence to emotional abuse, and even sexual abuse and rape. When in an abusive relationship or having endured some form of domestic abuse, it can be difficult to find a place to turn to. In Alaska, with its smaller population and greater sprawl, it can often make it hard for women ...

Marijuana is a significant topic throughout the United States. It can be considered one of the hottest topics regarding the general public and the Legislature. There is a growing reform when it comes to legalizing marijuana. Today, more than half of the country is in favor to legalizing the use of marijuana. The Drug Policy Alliance believes that marijuana should be treated and regulated like alcohol and tobacco and that it should be completely removed from the criminal justice system. Over the past two years, several states have legalized the recreational use of marijuana. This paper analyzes the arguments ...

Policy Analysis: Issue of Health Disparities in Alaska Natives and American Indians

Health disparities among Alaska Natives and American Indians (AI/ANs) have been reported since the initial contact that occurred nearly 500 years in the past. Moreover, the disparities are common in every age and across a wide spectrum of various disease categories (Sarche & Spicer, 2008). Accordingly, AI/ANs endure persistent health disparities that include health status decline, barriers to essential health services, and high uninsured rates. The group also experiences a lower status of health in comparison to other Americans (Frizzell, 2016). The disproportionate burden of disease and reduced life expectancy in AI/ANs can be attributed to cultural differences, discrimination in ...

Introduction

This paper will examine selected public health agencies that would help improve access to health in Canada. As such the agencies are selected on the basis of their contribution to public health matters. It’s therefore vital to understand what public health entails before delving into the agencies that would help improve access to public health in Canada. According to Winslow (1920) public health is all about health promotion, disease prevention and improving the quality of life through structured efforts and informed individual and communal decisions. This discourse will basically evaluate one international agency and several Canadian public agencies ...

Today, the United States has over 5600 offshore gas and oil platforms; there are also over 27,000 miles of pipeline in the Gulf of Mexico area alone. This shows the extent to which offshore oil drilling occurs in the United States. In other developed parts of the world, the situation is the same. Oil is a product on high demand; this facilitates efforts in extracting it form its deposits deep in the sea floor. The retrieval requires the use of sophisticated equipment ...

The prevalence of teen suicide is a growing concern in the healthcare industry, as it is ranked as the 2nd highest cause of death among the teenagers (Jason Foundation, 2016). Generally, the suicide rates in the United States continue to raise concern, as it is ranked tenth cause of death in the country. While the incidences of suicide had significantly decreased in the ‘90’s, this trend has now reverted, as there is an increase in suicide deaths. AFSP (2016) argues that statistics indicating the prevalence and incidences of suicide in the United States could be an underrepresentation, as ...

The use of off-road vehicles is associated with roads and tracks which frequently involves driving across untracked areas where there are no roads, as in the case of viewing animals in savanna environment or beach driving. Off-road vehicles allow people to penetrate remoter areas or sites which many other people cannot access. This creates potential for camping impacts, wildlife disturbance and pollution to occur at more remote and relatively unused sites. The use of off-road vehicles has been found to impact on soils, vegetation, wild-life and social conditions. This leads to the degradation of the environment which destroys and ...

The First Amendment guarantees freedom of speech by restricting legislations that curtail this freedom. U.S. Supreme Court decisions reinforce respect for the freedom of speech against legislations by the federal and state governments. However, some forms of communication are exempt from First Amendment guarantees. Obscenity is one such exemption. In Roth v. the United States, the U.S. Supreme Court cited a series of cases dating back to 1877 to demonstrate the Court’s consistent regard of obscenity as an expression that is not protected by the First Amendment right to free speech. Since obscenity does not form part of ...

The origins of Russian-American relations are deeply rooted in 17th -18th century. The first Russian emperor, expressed interest in a faraway country, was Peter I. In January 1719, surveyors were instructed "to go to Kamchatka and then where indicated, to describe those places, whether America converged with Asia". During the reign of Anne of Russia, Bering made two expeditions to those regions: in 1725-1730 and 1733-1741 years he was in the Chukotka Peninsula and Alaska, reaching North America. During the war the United States for independence in the 18th century Catherine II refused to allocate to the English King ...

Indigenous Midwifery Practices in Canada

Introduction
The indigenous people of Canada are the initial occupants of the present day Canada. They include the First Nations, Inuit and Métis. The indigenous people had a solid cultural health infrastructure even before the advent of modern medical system (Waldram, Herring & Young, 2000). The cultural health system had elements like midwifery, surgery, diagnosis and prescription principles. However, by the transition of the cultural health systems through periods of colonial influence, they have been significantly diluted. The indigenous body of beliefs about healthcare, wellbeing, spirituality and physical health, were considered deficient and substandard to the colonial health systems ( ...

Energy, especially electricity, is important for economic development.

Native Americans and Alaska natives have a long history of alcohol use dating back to pre-colonial period. During that period, the European colonizers introduced distilled wine and spirits. The natives who were not used to such strong brand of alcohol quickly embraced the ...

The marijuana legalization issue was first debated over 100 years ago by BIHDC (British Indian Hemp Drugs Commission). This commission resorted to a defined conclusion that; cannabis sativa (marijuana) was detrimental to human health,and the best way out was to impose high taxation to this drug. Prohibition of this drug was inevitable; the best solution was to tax the crop highly. This resolution failed after several years of attempts. Marijuana remained a legal drug in India until the year 1989 when it was phased off by the single convention international narcotics treaty (Gahlinger 2004). Over the recent past, an acute ...

In the two decades leading up to World War II, there was considerable criticism leveled against the genre of the comic book, because there was the fear that the multicolored magazines would lead to the erosion of conventional literacy, including such competencies as the ability to focus on plain text, read sequentially from left to right, as well as the misguided notion that conventional literature dealt with acceptable subject matter that steered clear of controversy, while comic books had edgier content (anyone who had read James Joyce, for example, knew that this last claim simply was not true). Once ...

English - The research paper

Even after decades, racial tensions and discriminations have not been erased completely. Racial injustices to African-Americans continue to pervade even today and compel President Obama to speak on the issue. With more than a third of the US population belonging to ethnic minority groups, it would be a mistake to ignore issues related to racism.
Can racism spread its roots in the health care industry and if it has, is racism is a significant barrier to accessing healthcare? Those are tough questions and need some studies. The essay explores the disparities in health care systems experienced by the racial ...

Introduction

Environmental adaptation is essential to the survival of any animal. In fact, this attribute helps organisms obtain nutrients, build homes, withstand extreme weather conditions, attach mates and enhance their safety (Nelson et al. 2008). With this in mind, it is worth appreciating the fact that polar and grizzly bears have different physical and behavioral characteristics due to environmental adaptation in spite of their species similarities. The polar bear is specially adapted to survive in the cold pole regions. Its body structure and genetic composition have substantially evolved to accommodate the low temperatures and harsh environmental conditions. Its behavioral attributes ...

As debates continues concerning gun laws and the amount of violence in the United States, many citizens have voiced increasing concerns about personal safety and the amount of force that is considered to be justifiable when faced with threats of violence or death. As a result, Stand Your Ground laws have been enacted in many states to establish the legal boundaries the rights afforded to individuals to protect themselves from imminent threats. The legalities provided by the Stand Your Ground laws gives pause to reflect on are laws of this nature necessary in this ever-changing world or do these laws ...

Water can be considered one of the most vital resources in the planet because of its benefits to every aspect of life. Aside from being used for drinking, water ensures that life is continously sustained around the planet. However, as mankind continues to grow, supplies of critical resources like water are slowly drying out due to various causes. While a majority could argue that it is due to the changing climates causing extreme heat, there are others saying that the reducing supply for water is because of pollution. For countries like the United States, issues regarding water supply and pollution ...

This paper discusses the issue of whether or not marijuana should be legalized in Pennsylvania for recreational use. The new Governor of Pennsylvania – Tom Wolf – has come out strongly in support of legalizing marijuana for medical use (in line with around 80 percent of the voting population of Pennsylvania), and has also expressed support for a move to decriminalize using small amounts of marijuana for personal consumption (“Medical and Recreational Marijuana Advances on Election Day” 2014). With the Pennsylvania state legislature poised to approve medical marijuana use in the state, it is timely to evaluate the merits of approving recreational ...

The Native Americans that can be found in North America have their myths explaining how they were created and the reason as to why they occupy certain regions in America. Moreover, these myths are seen to be very different from each other and have different concepts and ideologies. The reason as to why there is no unified body associated with the mythologies is due to the different tribal groups that make up the Native Americans (Birrell, 1993). The tribes have their own creation stories in relation to how the world came into being, the appearance of people, and the ...

Wildlife photography is a career discipline that focuses on the natural setting and taking photographs of non-domesticated animal species. The increase of human encroachment has increasingly decreased the natural setting hence leading to the extinction of rare wildlife species each day. Preserving wildlife has therefore been a major issue of concern (Greenaway, 2005). The most important individuals that could assist the situation are professional photographers. This is because of their, sometimes risky efforts to preserve the precious wildlife species - with photographs. This paper will take an overview of the career, analyzing its variations, requirements, lifestyle and all aspects associated with ...

Over the past few decades, a global awakening has been boiling up regarding the environmental issues of climate change that is posing a great threat in our planet. Experts agree that one of the major causes of global warming is the excessive greenhouse emissions into the atmosphere such as carbon dioxide which traps heat causing the rise on temperature of the whole planet. The consequences of global warming were believed to be created by human activities where these greenhouse emissions come from burning fossil fuels such as coal, natural gas and oil that we primarily use as sources of energy and ...

For the past 30 years overweight and obesity among Australians has been on a gradual increase, with 60% of adults categorized as overweight and more than 25% obese (National Health and Medical Research Council, 2013). The obese are perceived to be personally responsible for the cause of their own state. Changing the negative attitudes towards obese people, while trying to instill a view of empathy, has been somewhat unsuccessful (Gapinski, Schwartz, & Brownell, 2003; Teachman et al., 2003). This negative attitude encourages stereotypes that the obese and overweight are unmotivated and lazy, as well as many other negative characteristics (Persky & ...

Abstract

Physical Therapy has existed since time immemorial but the value and importance of this profession has been overlooked by many. I believe that this is attributed by inadequate knowledge and stereotype attitude of the society towards this profession. I have always been curious how these dedicated physical therapists endure working longer hours with their patients while putting a big smile on their faces. My father had a stroke years ago that left him disabled for some time. But with the help of a physical therapist who devotedly motivated him to go through the daily manual exercises and treatments, my father was able ...

The cross-country pipelines, which cover most parts of US transverse through terrains of forests, crop fields, rivers, deserts, off shores, hills, and populated areas. Any malfunction of these pipelines implies a devastating effect on the environment. This means that designing the pipelines require skills, and a consideration of social and environmental aspect along with other technological alternatives. Environmentalists view pipelines as high risk potential sources of environmental degradation from oil spillages and raptures (Flora, 2005). Economists and policy makers, on the other hand, view them as the cheapest and safest means of fossil fuel delivery. This has posed a debate on environmental ...

Externality is a situation in which the activity of one entity affects the welfare of another entity in a way that is outside the existing market (Rosen, 2005, p. 47). Simply put, externalities are the costs or benefits that arise from market transactions which are not reflected in prices. And when we speak of negative externalities, obviously, these are costs to third parties (other than the producer and consumer). Why is there negative externality? I learnt from Economics that under a competitive system, the market price of a good takes into account both the negative and positive effects of using the good. However, ...

Decriminalization of Marijuana in some states of America

Description of issue
Drug and substance abuse continues to affect the society usually with overt and covert consequences. What has resulted is the tendency by communities to disapprove of the consumption. The disapproval has been manifested in legislations, policies and discouraging moral norms and values. Indeed, the position of marijuana has remained unclear in the larger United States of America. Marijuana has the uncommon characteristic of having a dual application in the medical and recreational sectors. It, thus, can be used for either its medicinal value or recreational value. The law in the United States on marijuana could be ...

Unemployment is the term used to describe the process by which the people so much willing and able to work at a given wage rate in the market, but they do not get the jobs and thus they ended up being unemployed. These people are economically active as they seek employment. When the demand for labor exceeds the supply for labor then unemployment arises. If an economy has a higher unemployment rate, then this is a clear indication that the resources in that economy are used inappropriately.
