Therefore, this study has carried out oral interviews to medical students and medical professionals, and analyzed various written medical case reports from two medical journals to reveal their features as a genre in ...

Introduction

Euthanasia is the gentle act of inducing death painlessly with the aim of reducing suffering of the patient . Debates for and against euthanasia have been going on since the early 1800’s, and they are still going on to date. Different countries have different takes and laws governing euthanasia .

The Harlem renaissance is a cultural and artistic movement that changed the nature of African American literature and experience. The poetry of the movement was imbued with personal and third party political and social experiences. There is a raging debate on whether the movement was one of social and political propaganda or that of just the development of art. This paper builds on Du Bois’ assertion that all art is propaganda and should be treated as such. It also explores the claim that the movement was partly a modernist exploit that was aiming at creating a new form of art unique to the ...

- Introduction
It was Sigmund Freud who first suggested that human psychosexual development is heavily influenced by one’s relationship with one’s father or mother (Katz-Wise 2). However, in reality, the development of sexuality is quite different and significantly more complex. Gender identity has become different from sexual identity, and one’s sexual orientation is different still (Katz-Wise 2). Before detailing the prevailing arguments regarding sexual identity and all the issues that go along with it, it is first important to understand the nature of the discussion.
Sexual identity, for the purposes of discussion here, will ...

Abstract

There has been a consensus across cultures that women are chatty and that they talk too much. However, this supposition is not supported by neither empirical nor normative research methodology. In their book, Language Myths: Women Talk Too Much, Bauer & Trudgill vehemently refute the hypothesis that women talk too much (Bauer & Trudgill, 1998, p.43). The dual are of the view that women do not dominate all discussions. Women dominate certain discussions depending on the social context at hand, and the comparative power that they possess in a given situation. As a way of discrediting the idea that woman talk too much compared ...

The majority of the respondents were of the view that the media is primarily to blame for the rising cases of school shootings. This responsibility by the media was attributed to the glorification of these school shootings by the media (Clemons, McBeth, p. 208). This is because any school shooting gets national publication. School shootings may be isolated and rare, but the media makes sure that these incidents receive national attention and thus, blow them completely out of proportion.

Ethics of Stem Cell Research

Stem cells are central to newly developed therapies for curing degenerative diseases in humans. This is attributed to a very attractive feature of stem cells: their ability to produce a wide variety of other types of cells. Starting from stem cells, it is possible therefore to produce blood, brain, liver, muscle or essentially any type of specialized cell in a process called differentiation. Accordingly, with these therapies is now possible to aspire to find solutions to conditions that require organ or tissue replacement with a reduced rejection probability or even immune response (Juengst E). Patients with conditions like cirrhosis, muscle paralysis, corneal deterioration, ...

Gun violence has come to the forefront of American consciousness in recent years. School shootings, public spree shootings, and the attempted assassination of a congresswoman has caused the discussion to become increasingly important. The gun violence issue is split into two basic camps-- the “gun control” camp, and the “right to bear arms” camp. Those who believe that access to guns should be restricted cite the rising level of gun violence in the United States, while those who believe in the individual’s right to carry weapons point to the Second Amendment to the Constitution to back up their argument. ...

Activity Based Costing and Process Costing

Contribution margin per unit:
Formula = selling price per haircut – total variable cost per haircut
Selling price per haircut = $12
Variable cost per haircut = $0.40
Contribution margin per haircut = $12 - $0.40 = $11.60 per haircut

Discussion:

The contribution per unit is $11.60 per haircut, which means that the every haircut is $11.60 towards the profits of the business. Moreover, the portion of fixed cost is very high as compared to the variable costs.

Annual breakeven point in terms of haircuts:

Breakeven point formula = Total fixed cost for the year / Contribution per haircut
Labor cost per year = 5 barbers x 40 hours x50 weeks x $9.90 = $99,000

Jim McGuigan (2009), in his widely-acclaimed article “Doing a Florida: The Creative Class Thesis and Cultural Policy” talks about Richard Florida, considered as a the guru of management in America. According to McGuigan, Florida’s work The Rise of the Creative Class was a classic case of looking impressive on the surface, but is actually riddled with flaws in the inside. In addition, Florida’s work on cultural policy leans more on the managerialist perspective which resulted to the oversimplication of the scientific reasoning and research (McGuigan 310). To a reader who has no background on the social sciences, ...

Even though the concept of evolution is a typical narrative, it remains one of the most highly contentious of the topics.

Because of these differences, lots of significant finds in the field have attracted considerable amounts of opposition from experts depending on the species, or the side angle of evolution one recognizes (Ravosa and Dagosto). Disputes often center around locomotion and posture – whether a particular species was fully upright or could walk bipedally, brain size (intelligence), sexuality ...

Climatic change is a fundamental problem that is affecting developing nations, as well as developed nations of the world. However, as Nath and Behera pointed that developing nations are likely to be faced with a greater incidence of the outcome of climatic change than developed nations. This is because developed nations have the resources to deal with the outcomes of climatic changes and are already setting up mitigation strategies with respect to it.
The earth has limited carrying capacity and therefore increased population growth is likely to do more harm than good. Restricting the growth of developing nations can be ...
