Nursing: Public Health Safety

Answering Questions after Article Review Question One- Does this scenario represent a public safety or public health issue? Further, public health education would have been worthwhile in preventing the accident with regard to being careful on roadways being a personal precaution because road accident is a public health issue. Public safety is applicable in keeping dogs away from human traffic on the road ways. However, the accident could have been avoided had the boys been more alert to what happens on streets. Again speeding cars, dogs dashing out unexpectedly are public health safety measures implemented on highways for the ...

Soledad is often painted as a novel that was written in the vein of the great magical realist writers: Angie Cruz is thrown in with Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Lara Esquivel. While these are prestigious names to be connected with, this description of Soledad as a work of pure magical realism weakens the underlying themes of the book rather than strengthening them: Soledad is the picture of a life-- of a way of life-- in New York City. The titular character, Soledad, wrestles with her feelings of love for her home and the people who fill it and the conflicting desire to escape ...

Abstract

Access to health care majorly varies across states, individuals and groups and it is greatly influenced by both economic and social conditions and at times political influences. This paper is about my interview with people of different age groups discussing various ways in which they have access to healthcare. I interviewed them in order to know the various ways in which they have access to healthcare and how this process has changed over time. I interviewed four people to represent the vast majority of persons that access healthcare. Among these are; (an aged man of 70 years, my mother, ...

“What happens when wrong feels right and right feels wrong? When situations that appear to be black and white turn out to be gray?” (The Literary Analyst).The bygone philosophy of novelists writing what they desire stands firm. For me, a director holds the same status when it comes to films, in fact all artists irrespective of their desired form of art should have the liberty to think and make people do the same. This perfectly sounds true of Ben Affleck’s triumphant and remarkable debut in Gone Baby Gone (2007), which is an adaptation of Dennis Lehane’s heavily ...

Introduction

This is a review paper about the movie “Jungle fever”. This review paper interprets the film in another light other than the interpretation offered by Spike Lee that Jungle Fever is simply the result of people from different races succumbing to curiosity, but that the end result will always be problematic.

Discussion

The film portrays a different theme of racism. Throughout the movie, the theme of racism recurs in almost every scene. A number of examples throughout the movie can support this argument. For example, when flipper a happily married black architect has affair with his Italian-American secretary Angie, everything tumbles down. His ...

Introduction

The jungle fever movie by spike lee concentrated on sexual attraction and relationships between members of two different races. An interracial affair that was between two different communities had a lot of repercussions as this is well examined by Spike Lee. One interpretation of Spike Lee's film is that Jungle Fever is simply the result of people from different races succumbing to curiosity, but that the end result will always be problematic. This is clearly seen in the movie from the way Wesley snipes behaved. Wesley snipes (flipper purify) was a very successful architect and he was happily married to ...

Introduction

During this term, I have read three books: Walk on Water (Michael Ruhlman, 2003), A Well-Paid Slave (Brad Snyder, 2007) and In the Shadow of The Moon (Francis French & Colin Burgess, 2007). Of these, my favourite is Walk on Water. I rate this number one, mainly because the character descriptions are vivid, and because the language is lively. I believe the combination of those two attributes inspires readers, touches them, and helps them to learn from the book. I found that because the author described the characters in such a vivid and lively manner, including the character's appearance, the ...

In every society, people do advocate for ethical practices in any kind of activity. This is mainly because the ethics lead to the development of a form of trust between the involved parties. Ethics do apply in business as well. However, as investors seek to improve their profits, they at times fail to consider ethics more carefully. The essay below looks at this issue in a greater detail.

Business Ethics

Introduction

It is well known that the main reason as to why people engage in business activities is so as to make profits. However, many people do not seem to agree on the ...

In the 1970s and 1980s, even up to the early 1990s, African American film was experiencing a renaissance. In this time, following the Civil Rights Movement, African-American youth needed new heroes to follow, navigating this post-segregation period of lingering prejudice and the pressure for black Americans to "make good" on their chance to make something of themselves. The pressures of the inner city and gang and drug influences profoundly impacted the black community, and raised racial tensions even further between blacks and whites. However, throughout the years, these pressures were explored in black films of that era, presenting heroes for ...

Interracial Relationships and Their Attitudes

In the 1991 Spike Lee film Jungle Fever, Flipper Purify (Wesley Snipes) starts an affair with an Italian-American named Angie Tucci (Annabella Sciorra), and both encounter significant resistance from both sides of their family. In many ways, the basic plot is similar, if a bit seedier, than the 1967 Stanley Kramer drama Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, starring Sidney Poitier and Katherine Houghton as an interracial couple who focus on winning over her distrustful white parents. While both films deal with the complications of two people of different races starting a relationship, the outcomes and themes of the films are quite ...

This section of the novel begins in a very private way. Chapter Twenty-Six. Miles trades with Pansing, a Cambodian restaurant owner, refuses to be tricked out of money by B. J. a rather unscrupulous buyer of marine life and watches an entire baseball match with his father. He takes Angie to see the miracle of baby squid being born and, at the very end of the Chapter on September 1st, his father measures his height and Miles has grown – nine-sixteenth of an inch. (Miles confides in the final chapyer that he was destined to grow ten inches in the next twelve months.

A great deal happens in this section of the novel as we approach the end of the text and its climax. Chapter Twenty begins with the dramatic news that Angie has almost died by taking a drug overdose. Miles argues with his mother about Angie and then goes to her house and makes a completely ineffectual attempt to cheer her up. She clearly has mental health issues and feels suicidal. In Chapter Twenty-Three she writes Milles a letter apologizing for her behaviour when he visited her, but his happiness at receiving the letter is immediately undercut by the news that his mother ...

In this section of the novel starts very dramatically with Phelps almost being drowned having become stuck in the mud as the tide comes in and unable to extricate himself from his waders. Only Miles’s quick thinking saves Phelps’s life. There is another dramatic incident in Chapter Sixteen when an earthquake hits the bay and the surrounding area. This earthquake fulfils a prophecy made many years previously by Florence, claiming that a new development of apartments would one day be destroyed by an earthquake. The media pick up on Florence’s prediction and write about it. Miles’s relationship ...

The opening six chapters of the novel introduce us to its teenage narrator, Miles O’Malley. He is obsessed with the sea and marine creatures and spends a lot of his spare time on the beaches looking for oysters or other specimens that he can sell to museums, private collections., or local restaurants. His intelligence is established – he knows a lot about the sea – and so is his sense of inferiority: he is short for his age and has a crush on his neighbour’s daughter, Angie Stegner, but lacks the macho casualness about women that his rather stupid acquaintance Phelps possesses. ...

Your teacher’s name

This section of the novel mixes Miles’s private life with his increasingly famous public profile. At the start of Chapter Seven he overhears his parents discussing divorce and this hangs over this whole section.

Florence allegedly has psychic powers and we are told that she has made various predictions about events and occurrences within the the town of Olympia. His conversations with Phelps, who helps him collect calms and other marine life, are often about sex – either the ...
