Clarence Thomas is the second African American to sit on the United States Supreme Court, preceded only by Thurgood Marshall who served on the United States Supreme Court from 1967 to 1991. Clarence Thomas was nominated to the United States Supreme Court in July 1991 and was approved by the United States Senate by a very narrow margin in October of 1991. Throughout his term on the United States Supreme Court, Clarence Thomas has been both hailed and criticized. He has been both compared to Thurgood Marshall and nicknamed an Uncle Tom. Throughout this paper, I will discuss United States ...

There are not many philosophers in history as influential as Saint Thomas of Aquinas. His works have influenced western philosophy for centuries and found a way to conciliate theological thought and reason.

This work is gives an account of the life of Thomas of Aquinas, his academic works, his philosophy and the impact he had on the western ...

Difference between Matchbox 20 Albums and Rob Thomas

Thesis
Rob Thomas, a lead singer and songwriter of Matchbox 20, sang a few solo songs of which, one was rated among the Top 10 hits and, his effort was recognized when he was ranked No.5 among a cluster of celebrity singers on Billboard’s Top 20 list of Hot 100 songwriters between 2010-2011. Was Rob the reason for Matchbox 20 becoming so successful in the 2000s, or was it Matchbox 20 that helped push Rob Thomas’ popularity as an exceptional music talent?
“It’s been 10 years since the multi-platinum selling band Matchbox Twenty which included Rob Thomas, Paul ...

The poems, “Do Not Go Gently into That Night” by Dylan Thomas and “Because I Could Not Stop for Death” by Emily Dickenson, deal with the theme of death. Both poets use figurative devices to compare and contrast their abstract views on death. Thomas rejects the idea of death, and implores his father to fight his impending death. On the other hand, the woman in Dickenson’s poem embraces death as she goes willingly into death’s embrace. In essence, there is no specific way to present poems that share the same theme. Each poet chooses unique ...

The two poems, Because I Could Not Stop for Death, by Emily Dickinson and Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night, by Dylan Thomas deal with the theme of death. Each poem looks at death in different ways. Thomas does not accept death readily, but implores his father to hold on to life. On the other hand, Dickinson accepts death calmly. Both poets make use of figurative devices such as metaphors, personification and alliteration as they explore their opposing views of the concept of death.

Dickinson creates the feeling that death has compassion and creates a contrast in how ...

In 1516 Thomas More published Utopia which described a perfect society situated on an unknown island. This book has become an embodiment of the perfect society from these times to the present. This book was not only a beginning of a new age in evaluating a prototype of the society, but also a new stage in literature. This book is still the most provocative and has a lot of opponents. As a proving example, The Guardian (‘Utopias, past and present: why Thomas More remains astonishingly radical’, 2015) reveals that this book is not a favorite one in Buckingham Palace.

Did the authors describe the research design of this study? If so, give a description.
The researchers/authors stated that they used unstructured interviews to assess patient experiences with the help of purposive sampling. All interviews were based on open questions and the interviews were assessed based on existential phenomenology (Witlatch n/d.). The authors were inspired by the concept of interviewing patients and phenomenology based on French philosopher Maurice Merleau-Ponty (George & Thomas 2010). Phenomenology is based on the assessing individual experiences which help in identifying key ...

Juvenile Rights

The juvenile system is significantly responsible for processing and treating various cases of youthful misbehaviour. The system has developed into an analogous yet independent system of justice with its own nomenclature and regulation of procedure (Goldstein, Condie, Kalbeitzer, Osman & Geier, 2003). Apparently, there are a plethora of similarities and notable differences between the adult and juvenile justice systems (Goldstein et al., 2003). The illustrious difference between the juvenile and adult justice processes are largely symbolic and terminological, and most states do not have specific statutory provisions distinguishing the arrest processes for children from that of adults (Goldstein et al., 2003). ...

Point Lobos is an area in Monterey County, California, which encompasses Point Lobos Natural Reserve, Point Lobos State Marine Reserve, and Point Lobos State Marine Conservation Area (). It is currently used as a marine protected area, a recreational scuba diving destination, and for hiking by tourists, but the area has a long cultural history. The coastal area was inhabited by tribes of indigenous people that are known collectively as the Ohlone, who lived in the area until the first European explorers arrived in 1602 (). Since then, Point Lobos has been inhabited by a number of different people until it ...

What factors led the US to follow Hamilton's vision of a market based economy over Jefferson's vision of an agrarian based society?
Thomas Jefferson who was born in 1743 always favoured a strong agrarian approach in his politics. The third President of the United States is also remembered as the mastermind who negotiated the Louisiana Purchase and was also the chief author of the Declaration of Independence.
While Thomas Jefferson sought about sending Lewis and Clarke on their expedition to explore the new west, Alexander Hamilton foresaw the problems with the new Confederation and saw the necessity for centralization. In ...

Thomas Ertman identified four types of territorial states in early modern Europe, all of which faced significant strains, challenges from below and demands for change that finally culminated in the French Revolution of 1789. Even Britain, which had already experienced two revolutions in the 17th Century that overthrow the absolutist monarchy and established the principle of parliamentary supremacy, underwent significant strains and conflicts at that time, with demands for greater democracy in political and economic life. Britain’s bureaucratic constitutionalism, which had replaced the absolute Tudor and Stuart monarchies, managed to weather the storm more or less intact (Ertman ...

Electricity can flow in two different ways; either in direct current (DC) or in alternating current (AC). Electricity is a moving electron through or along a conductor, for instance a wire, which have been connected for energy (Daly, Peckham & AudioGO, 2013). Therefore, the variation between DC and AC is the direction of electron flow. In direct current, the electrons flow in one direction (forward). In alternating current, electrons keep changing directions, sometimes forward and at times backwards (Daly, 2013).

Origins of DC and AC Current

A magnetic field next to a wire can make electrons flow along the wire in one direction, because electrons become repelled from the negative ...

History does not lack notable and influential people who, from their simple acts and convictions, made a clear mark in the development of civilization. From politics to religion, many influential names remain known even at the present time and lauded for their contributions. However, aside from politics and religion, there are also historical figures from the scientific community whose inventions remain integral to society. One of these scientific greats is American inventor Thomas Alba Edison, the known inventor of the world’s first light bulb. However, unlike his peers, Edison was a jack of all trades who was not satisfied in ...

The study of viruses to understand their ability to cause disease led to a recognition by scientists that viruses could be used to transport genetic material into cells (Thomas, Ehrhardt, and Kay, 2003). Viruses are a life form that injects its own genetic material into its host cell in order to hijack the cellular protein-making functions. By injecting the host cell with its own viral genetic material, the cell no longer makes proteins for its own functions and instead makes viruses. Commonly, the production of the virus causes the host cell to die and that cell death is a part of the ...

Analysis of Herodotus and Sima Qian

History as we know it today as a means of self-knowledge, political enlightenment, and a critical account of the past has its origins in two ancient civilizations in Eurasia, which are Greece and China. Two of the best-known canonical formulations are the “histories” of Herodotus in Greece and “Shiji” of Sima Qian in China. Since the time and works of Sima Qian and Herodotus, history has been the study and analysis of human exploits in different geographies and ethnographies (Stuurman, 2008:1).
Thomas R. Martin is an American-based historian who specializes in the field of Greco-Roman studies. He teaches courses in ...

Abstract

Introduction
According to Thomas (2005), the crime rate in 2003 was almost the same as it was in 1973, but the number of people in prisons grew sevenfold. This is a real public policy puzzle because if the number of offenders did not change over the period, it would be appropriate to question the cause of the number of inmates to rise from 300,000 to nearly 2.3 million. The increase media attention in the late 1980s and early 1990s of high profile cases, and law and order demagoguery by politicians all played a part, of course. Nevertheless, the main ...

Introduction

Success is an abstract concept which is difficult to be defined in one single sentence. Success means different things to different people. One may weigh success in terms of material gains; another may weigh success in terms of spiritual values. Most of the people define success in terms of achieving a mission or a goal. For instance, in Genesis 1.28 of Bible, God while entering into a covenant with Noah blessed him with "Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over ...

Thomas Paine, a political activist, theorist, and a philosopher in his pamphlet "common sense" inspired people to protest and fight for independence from the Great Britain. Common sense explained why they needed independence and the advantages independence would bring to the people of America. It also presented them with an argument for freedom just in the right time when independence was a vital issue. It communicated in a manner that ordinary people understood, shunning philosophical references used by other writers, and referring to the Bible to speak to the people. Thus, it was seen as the most incendiary and most accepted booklet of ...

Ethics and virtue have long been an area where philosophy and religion often coincide. Often, philosophers live an academic life which in which their ideas are developed through abstract through and not practical application. It can be helpful to compare ethical theories to compose a paper, which clarifies ethical theories and puts different moral theories in the context of each other by applying them all to an identical character or moral situation. The 1966 film “A Man for All Seasons” is the story of Thomas More, a Roman Catholic bishop who lost his life for standing up to King Henry VIII ...

Religious Studies

The Roman Catholic Church gained power and authority in the 6th century with a watchful management that lasted all through the 9th century . However, the invasion of the Barbarian has tore apart the Roman Empire, and also split through entire Europe. These circumstances have boosted the church to attain its greater attitude. Moreover, the whole Western Europe as well as preservation of values of Western Civilization is obliged to its existence to the rise of the Church. However, if it were not meant for the alliance of the churches with the royalty of the barbarian that pave the way to ...

History

The Louisiana Purchase – is one of the most important events in the early history of the United States.
In 1762, Louisiana became a colony of Spain. New Orleans (now the largest city of the state), located on the territory of Louisiana had a very favorable geographical position. It was so that the country owning this town could control the entire Mississippi River. I think we should not talk about economic importance this river played; it is one of the most important waterways in North America. In October 27, 1795, under a contract with Spain, U.S. citizens received the right to export ...

Virginia had a huge role to play in this revolutionary war, by producing some of the great revolutionary leaders and orators like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson ...

ABSTRACT

The United States was founded on the principle that all persons had natural rights to life, liberty and property, which is to say that the Framers of the Constitution accepted the theories of John Locke rather than Thomas Hobbes. Government did not simply exist to maintain law and order and keep the masses under control, but to preserve, defend and guarantee the rights of the people. By popular demand in the 1780s, the Bill of Rights was also added to the Constitution, which stated expressly which rights were guaranteed to the people and what the exact limits of government ...

Introduction

The remarkable industrial revolution of the 18th century had a very important milestone in the global civilization. As a matter of fact, it set the pace for the recent boost in technology today. However, this is also imperative to consider that the invention and subsequent advancement in the steam engine played an important role in the famous industrial revolution. Before the invention of the steam engine, industrial processes were manually based. More so, the earliest forms of steam engines produced by the engineer, Thomas Savery and even the subsequent development of the first practical steam engine by the English inventor, Thomas ...

I. Introduction
In this research paper, the relationship between science and religion is examined in terms of the potential for a harmonious coexistence. This is an old debate and currently it is a vitally significant one. The view of science and religion as warring enemies has historic roots. The Catholic Inquisition was known to persecute and execute people considered heretics because of their belief in science and scientific things. The Church found science as an explanation offensive. Galileo Galilei is one of the most well known of the victims of the Inquisition. He was imprisoned and forced to do penance ...

Until the advent of the 20th century, China was a rural society composed of an agrarian economy with very little experience of the urban. This state of affairs however elevated the country into a collective socialist imaginative mirage of a Utopian system. The application of a Utopian system is largely associated with some of the 20th century leaders such as Pol Pot, Adolf Hitler and Josef Stalin whom in their quest for a Utopia on earth led to a “state of hell” where thousands of citizen got killed. Although the Utopian systems such as that of Adolf’s “Thousand year Reich” ultimately ended up in a ...

Introduction

In a hospital setting, patients often arrive in various conditions. It is up to the nurses and other medical staffs to ensure the triage process is carried out successfully. The process of grouping patients on the basis of their conditions is often referred to as the triage process (Thomas, 2001). Triage is a simple process and involves careful observation of the patients as he or she arrives and the symptoms he or she presents so as to gauge clinically if he or she needs medical attention immediately or not (Donald, 2004). This process has to be effective at all times (Ian, ...

The article “Youth sports programs: An avenue to foster positive youth development."

Over the years, the increase in drug use and delinquency among the youths has triggered the need to establish ways of promoting positive developments and increased after-school programs. According to the article, the establishment of youth sports is essential since it has resulted in positive outcomes when positive designs and supportive relationships are established (Fraser-Thomas 19). Several organizations have created voluntary platforms for the youths where they engage in activities such as hobbies, arts, sports, music among other initiatives aimed at obtaining positive developments.

There has been a reason for outrage as police brutality has escalated and many incidents have become more visible in communities today although was also present in years past. For example, according to Darden and Thomas, “If African Americans in Detroit between 1925 and 1945 were to name the worst racial abuses they had to encounter, without a moment’s hesitation they would have said “white police brutality” (Darden and Thomas 29). This has helped to encourage reporting of police brutality. But, citizens like Victor Rios who have experienced police brutality filed complaints and was simply ignored (Rios 59).

Causes of the Revolution

The American Revolution occurred between 1765 and 1783 after the colonists within the thirteen American colonies declined the British aristocracy and monarchical rule. Beginning 1765, the American colonists refused to acknowledge the power of the British parliament to tax the American colonists while the latter did not have colonial representatives in the governments. The following years were marred by protests as American patriots sought to ventilate their disapproval of the authority of the British monarchy and aristocracy over the thirteen American colonies. Religion played an important role in ushering the revolution as the Christian revivalists in the Great Awakening ...

Abstract

Accidents are an inevitable element of the air carriage industry; however, a good number of these could have been avoided given proper human resource management efforts. The task of these specialists is to recruit, to train, and to evaluate industry employees like pilots. Instead, they often overlook health issues and psychological disorders leaving the wellbeing and lives of passengers exposed to mortal threat. Owing to HR specialists’ miscalculations, pilots with insufficient qualification, those willing to ignore the guidelines of dispatchers and act carelessly received their coveted positions. The liberalization of workplace regulations did the industry an ill favor allowing individuals ...

Abstract

The Lake Moeris Quarry Road built while the Old Kingdom of Egypt between 26th and 22nd centuries B.C. is the oldest paved road of the world and is testimony to the excellent sense of planning and execution of the ancient Egyptians of that period. The 8-miles of the main road was built by placing large stone blocks that were kept on the desert sand and to facilitate passage of sledges filled with blocks of Basalt to the quay of Lake Moeris, and then on to River Nile. Those Basalt blocks were shipped downstream of Nile to construction sites in ...

The movie “Hitler: The Rise of Evil” clearly depicts the personality Adolf Hitler possessed. The miseries suffered throughout his childhood; the hard relationships with his father and following deaths of both parents have given birth to cognitive dissonance that accompanied him throughout his life. He was more than aware of the lives of Germans in Austria and Germany as he had seen personally the social stratum of both nations. As was noted in the movie, he acted on the pure basis of understanding of the behavior of human-beings. He was a psychologist; the experience of influence of his speeches made ...

Prior the Revolutionary War of between 1775 and 1783, Britain was in control of its American colony, much to the chagrin of the latter. With the colonization came laws of governance imposed on the Americans as a form of dominance by the British forces. With the forced management and the increasing need for independence among the colonized nation, the resulting tense relations were inevitable if not expected. Boston city was no different as its people continued to repel the presence of the Britons in its society. Consequently, on March 5, 1770, a confrontation between people from both sides, in Boston Massachusetts, ...

Introduction

Women have been seen and treated from a different perspective since the early ages. In every walk of life, men and women have been given different regard and significance whether at home, in schools, churches or even in the corporate world. Having been treated does not particularly mean in a negative connotation, but with respect to the workplace, what exactly has been the impact of the different treatment? Even in the American history, the gender role has been particularly critical for the success and downfall of the nation. There are many important questions that need to be answered while entering the ...

Negative Effect of Obesity on the Economy in the United States

Introduction
Obesity has become a crisis in the American society with statistics showing that two-thirds of the adults in the population are obese. Children too have not been spared. Over the past estimated two or three years, there has been a substantial and unreasonable increase in the number of obese children in different states across the country. Obesity has been accrued to many things, but diet forms the top concern. The cost effectiveness of unhealthy food makes it the first choice for people. Such foods include the fast foods that form part of the rationale behind the culture of the ...

Parkinson’s disease (PD) refers to a chronic progressive neurodegenerative disorder. It is the second most predominant neurodegenerative condition after Alzheimer’s disease (Thomas & Beal, 2007). Advanced age increases the risk of disease. It is diagnosed in 1% of individuals with 65 years of age and 5% of the individuals with over 85 years (Weintraub, Comella, & Horn, 2008). However, up to 3% of the cases have been found in people below 50 years. Other risk factors include the male gender and individuals of European ancestry. PD is a chronic disorder that progresses slowly; it may take 15 years from the time ...

Andrew Carnegie

“Andrew Carnegie was a critical agent in the triumph of industrial capitalism in the decades surrounding the turn of the twentieth century. “ (Nasaw, xii) At the same time, Carnegie, as once the French Enlightenment philosophers, and, after them, Alfred Nobel, believed that one could make this world better by promoting the dissemination of knowledge. Being an active American, he, unlike the French philosophers approached the matter practically — he had donated 95% of his earnings (the equivalent of the current 55 billion dollars) and wished he had time to donate everything.
Andrew Carnegie was born on November 25, 1835 in a ...

Issues in Special Education: Inclusion of Students with Special Needs

Background
In the world over, the concept of inclusion of people with disability, particularly inclusion in education, is increasingly becoming a vital issue of concern as several attempts are being made to offer people with disability similar opportunities that are available to people who do not have any impairment of any kind. Ideally, children are considered disabled in learning if, for some reasons, they are not able to learn normally as their counterparts with similar ages and as Holt (2004) documents, disabled are not able to use the same learning facilities as the ones used by their counterparts. Additionally, ...

Arguably, in the entire world there are various forms of government, in which countries have an option to adopt. One of the forms is called constitutional monarchy. This is a form of government, whereby a monarch takes charge of the state within the specified parameter stated in a constitution. It can be blended constitution, written or uncodified. In one way or another, constitutional monarchy differs from the absolute monarchy; in this case, absolute monarchy is a form of government whereby absolute monarch is a basis of power, but it is not constitutionally bound in legal terms, yet the monarch has powers to control respective ...

Abstract

Higher education is guided by philosophical principles that administrators use to set curricula and establish policies that govern how institutions are run. The educational philosophy of pragmatic instrumentalism offers one such ideal, which proceeds from a belief that theory and practical application could and should be meshed in order to prepare students to impact their environment. This is a theory well-suited for a Democratic society, the well-being of which men such as Thomas Jefferson believed hinges on the participation of an informed populace. Though pragmatism in higher education seeks a practical and applicable learning outcome for students, it does not mean, and should ...
