Worries about a decline in the birth rate are nothing new, at least in many developed nations. As early as 1909, Hoffman made it perfectly clear that a love for babies was not the reason that some in the U.S. fretted over the declining number of births. Rather, it was concern over the decreasing rate of births among “native white married women” while the “rate of reproduction [was] materially higher among the foreign element” (p. 676). Similar concerns are in evidence today in places such as Israel, where the comparatively high rate of births among the Arab population has ...

Pro-Care Clinic is a general outpatient clinic facility that caters for basic health needs and mostly deals with outpatient issues (The Green Book). However, once in a while, the facility is required to handle serious issues that may require minor surgeries, child deliveries, or serious accidents. In such cases, the clinic admits the patients in its ward that accommodates 5 patients. Most of these cases are managed first before referring the patients to other equipped hospitals. The clinic has been known to handle these cases since there are no close hospitals in the neighborhood. The clinic has an administrator, ...

Since the dawn of human civilization annihilation of millions of people has been occurring. After the two World Wars, this annihilation took place through many civil wars fought within the nations all over the world. The Genocide or the mass killing of a particular ethnic group has been a common phenomenon in civil wars. In 1990s, the Kashmiri Hindus were expelled by Muslim terrorists through severe massacre. The question is whether mass massacre is the answer to any problem. There is a universal agreement that genocide is immoral and unethical (Jones, 1999). Still even after the horrified consequences of ...

The Tenerife Crash was an event between two airplanes of the same model, Boeing 747 from two different companies: KLM and Pan-Am. Both planes had the same destination; the Gran Canarias Airport, but, a bomb explosion and a threat of a second bomb in the airport obliged the airport authorities to shut down the airport and divert all the air traffic to a smaller airport in Tenerife North, called Los Rodeos Airport. The accident consisted in a crash between the two airplanes in the air. Both airplanes received the same instruction from Control Tower causing the crash between the ...

Introduction

A country’s economic and security prosperity highly relies on the aviation system that is operating efficiently. The existence of weak security poses a threat to aircraft safety and those that are boarding it. The hostile nation-states, criminals and terrorists have been viewing the aviation sector as a target for exploitation and attack. Successful airport attacks inflict grave economic damage, mass casualties and negatively affect the airline transportation system. The air transport sector should adopt appropriate ways of managing different incidents and threats. Intelligence and Threat Assessment play a significant role in mitigating numerous risks in the aviation industry. ...

The custom of the community dictated that whoever found a whale with a mark was to notify the owner who was expected to pay the finder a fee for having found it. The defendant ...

In the face of modern science, researchers are facing a problem of the level to which the humanity of their approaches must extend. When it comes to solving ethical dilemmas, the vast majority of them tends to be concentrated on value placed on lives of humans as opposed to the value placed on lives of animals. There is a distinct separation between those who believe that animal drug testing should be banned, those who believe that it is often the main way of estimating the safety of drugs used, and those who choose to fall in-between and prefer finding ...

INTRODUCTION

There are some events in the course of the world’s growth and development that seem likely to occur; people will experience conflict, social unrest, possible warfare and any number of natural disasters that can devastate communities all across the globe. In the modern era one of the most terrifying of occurrences are terrorist attacks. Terrorist threats can exist unnoticed; no one knows when they may occur and what public place, government buildings or function that may be targeted. This makes terrorist attacks a huge source of stress, fear and shock for the people and for the governments involved. ...

The crash took place at the Tenerife airport which is located in the region of Atlantic. It has never been a popular place before this plane crash of history. Tenerife is governed by the Spanish government and it is situated some hundred or more miles from the Moroccan coast. The airport is a small one and is ...

The Marshall Islands are a part of the group of islands called Micronesia. They are a presidential republic that has a free association with the United States. The US provides the country with access to agencies such as the FCC and USPS, defense, and subsidies. The country’s wealth is based on agriculture, fishing and primarily the service industry. Nuclear testing was conducted on the island from 1946-1958. During this time at the Pacific Proving Grounds the US conducted testing of 67 nuclear weapons (Barker). These tests include Castle Bravo which is the largest nuclear test ever conducted by ...

Utility of torture

All individuals have some inherent moral and legal rights that cannot be waived by any state or individual. Torturing suspects in order to obtain information however utilitarian is therefore akin to denying such individuals their basic human rights. Any attempt to obtain information through torture cannot be justified; it is especially the case considering that often times the information obtained through torture is unreliable (Talhami, 2013). It is therefore evident that even by applying utilitarian principles (greatest good for the greatest number of people), the benefits of torture do not exceed its costs and as such is not acceptable ...

War in Vietnam has deeply influenced other countries in the region – Laos and Cambodia. The movie Vietnam: a TV History demonstrates through the historic images, frames and evidence of witnesses and active participants of this war the policy of American leadership towards these nation-states and the consequences of this policy.

One of the arguments was made by President Kennedy when he announced the importance of supporting Laos in its battle against ...

Introduction

Generally, Free Thought can be attributed to almost all developments and advancements in the world. Ranging from innovations and technological developments to religion and political changes, free thought seems to be the main driver of change. Free thought requires that free thinkers hold their positions regarding truth based on empiricism, logic, and reason. This implies that a free thinker should not be influenced by such things as tradition, authority or revelation. Free thought has developed a society of civilized people and advanced technology leading to the end of ineffective and bureaucratic regimes and religions that brought about differences within ...

Chapter Reading Questions

Discuss the different approaches of the federal government toward the Plains Indians The different approaches that were taken towards the Plains Indians were (1) concentration, which is reducing the areas of land available to the Plains Indians. This would end with the Plains Indians living on reservations. (2) forced assimilation. The Plains Indians were forced to send their children to schools that indoctrinated them against their own heritage. This was done by forcing them to take the names of white people, punishing them for speaking their language, and making them dress and act like white children. They were also ...

There is a controversial question whether it is possible to justify torture. A similar question arises in the debate on whether it is possible to justify the use of torture during interrogations of suspected terrorists. Arguments in favor of torture starts with utilitarian calculation. Torture is causing the suspect suffering that dramatically reduce his/her happiness or favor. From the utilitarian point of view, it can be argued that the infliction of suffering is morally justified if torture prevent death and suffering on a massive scale. The arguments of the former US Vice-President Richard Cheney, who claimed that the use ...

An ever increasing number of people make use of airports on a daily basis. It is therefore inevitable that the level of security in the airports is much higher when compared to other areas and installations that do not experience as much traffic. As a result, a number of techniques have been devised to detect any potentially harmful objects and/or persons that may put the safety and security of the airport and its users as risk. It is especially the case given the rapid spread of the global terrorism phenomenon which has made air travel a primary target. It ...

Q. 1 The preparations by the American forces in anticipation of the Spanish-American war revealed many weaknesses about the US military organization during this time in history. It also showed how unprepared America was for the war. This is notwithstanding the victory that the US registered in the war through the final liberation of Cuba and Philippines. The American civil war had rendered the US Navy weak and lacking in many critical military machines and weapons of war. Most good troops had also been lost in the previous war hence the need by President McKinley to prepare an active ...

Executive summary

The ever increasing use of computer based information system and internet in the personal, professional and commercial segments is accompanied by relevant collateral issues relating to privacy, security, and ethics as regards use of the system. The privacy and security issues mainly stem from two elements; advancement in information technology that makes privacy and security of information vulnerable to breaches, and inability of the service providers to adequately protect information and data. During 1970s Walter Maner introduced the term ‘computer ethics’ in order to define ethical problems aggravated, transformed, and created by information technology (Joshi, 2015). This paper is ...

The Cold War was not only a period in American history where the United States was locked in a massive international rivalry and arms race with the Soviet Union but it was a time of fervent technological, strategic and political development. The United States during World War II had developed a massive new process for technical progress with an applied goal. That is to say, the Manhattan project which culminated with the building of the first ever Atomic bomb was a very important milestone. It showed that civilians and the military could work together for a common goal. While ...

The use of drones in warfare has become increasingly questionable in its morality. Though using drones exhibit a way to minimize casualties, the very act of indiscriminate destruction caused by these drones have been criticized. Drones have allowed for the killing of people at a more discreet and maneuverable manner. The very people who have piloted these drones appear to be the ones most traumatized by these acts. These pilots show signs of PTSD caused by their murder of innocent people who are casualties caused by collateral damage. The problem with drones or with any other kinds of air ...

Cybercrime and many other crimes are justified by the collection of appropriate evidence by detectives and other law enforcement agencies. The forensics team to collect evidence from the crime scene uses various techniques and tools.

The paper highlights four mini cases and knowledge of methods used in these cases to collect evidence by forensics experts. Cyber crimes are crimes done by computer experts through their knowledge of software, programming, and networking techniques. In addition to ...

Charles L Mee, Jr’s article “A Good Way to Pick a Fight” (1977) focuses primarily on the Cold War and the events that led up to a tremulous time in American history. Mee begins his article with the death of President Roosevelt and the beginning of Truman’s presidency in which, one could argue, the relationship between America and Russia became strained as Truman chewed Russian foreign minister Motov out because of what Russia was doing in Poland (1). Mee then goes on to state “most people, most of the time, want peace in the world, and they ...

Movie Review: Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying

and Love the Bomb and The Long Walk Home Two history-elucidating films, which are so different at the first glance, Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb and The Long Walk Home, shed light on the peculiarities of the epoch that followed the Second World War. The events shown in both of them send us back to the middle of the XX century, when people bred hopeful expectations about their bright future in the brand new United States of America.

Abstract

The terrorist attacks on the United States in 2001 revealed the need for information sharing between different local, state, and federal agencies. This resulted in the formation of Department of Homeland Security to coordinate the counterterrorism efforts. The Department created fusion centers that served as facilities of gathering and analyzing information from relevant agencies. The fusion centers have faced constant criticism from researchers regarding their effectiveness and spending but have been successful in stopping several terrorist plans. This has saved thousands of lives and millions of dollars. However, the numerous agencies working towards the same goal has brought about ...

INTRODUCTION

The United States and the then Soviet Socialist Republic, or USSR, had always had ideological differences underlining their relations. The US has always been the world’s champion of democratic ideals, while the USSR promoted the socialist ideology. In World War II, however, the two countries set aside their differences and formed an alliance with other countries to fight a common enemy: the Axis Powers that included Germany, Japan and Italy. The defeat of the Axis Powers resulted in power vacuums, which the two countries immediately tried to fill, thereby, resulting in a contest of superpowers. Suspicions of each ...

In a similar manner that the comedic film termed as Dr. Strangelove includes convectional genres as per their time of publication, the Slaughter-House Five also incorporates fantasies, memoirs, autobiographies and science fiction. For instance, whereas the novel is based on the fantasy of time travel describing people being struck at it, the movie analysis the elements of cold war in a satirical manner by describing the doomsday device made by the Russians. Vonnegut perspective was against the warmongering apparent in the society like Kubrick movie. They were both based on an assumption that a superior power would create fear ...

That a man should hate oneself is a common phenomenon, which everyone experiences once in a while, because of people’s intrinsic flaws. These flaws ramify into people’s creations such that there is not one thing a man has created, which does not have to endure a measure of hatred from the rest of society. The creature in Frankenstein is no different from men’s inventions, whose hideous nature was not apparent at the time of their inception, and abhorred for what passed as evil yet not appreciated for the utility its creator envisaged. The guiding question for ...

Thesis

America should have sounded a warning to people of Hiroshima and Nagasaki before the attacks, explaining the potential impact of the atomic bombs to reduce casualties.

Introduction

Iran and Nuclear Power

This paper focuses on the widely debated issue on the Iran deal considering it as a policy that will define the manner in which Iran will develop its nuclear energy program. Essentially, the argument will take a serious approach thus defending a position to the effect that the Iran deal, as a matter of policy, is essentially flawed. Importantly, it will also adopt a logical approach in order to underscore the gaps which would lead to a future crisis. Indeed, as afore mentioned, the Iran deal is a badly thought idea that uses naivety to as a tool of ...

The Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings represent the only incidences that nuclear bombs were ever used in the history of humanity. The devastation, death, and destruction that followed resulted to the surrendering of Japan and thus brought the Second World War to an end. Over the years that followed, the magnitude of the impacts of the nuclear bombs resulted in the debate regarding the justification, or lack thereof regarding the bombing of Japan by the United States. Essentially, the United States had no justification in dropping the bombs in Japan. To a great deal, the justification for the bombing of ...

The term Cold War has always been used by many to describe the relationship between the Soviet Union and America from 1945 to 1980. The Cold War started as soon as the Second World War ended. It would have been termed World War three by the free society. However, that whimsical name (Cold War) was preferred because there was no military confrontation between the two nations. Many factors led to the emergence of the Cold War, and it had many impacts. The first reason that resulted in the start of the Cold War was the idea of the Soviet ...

The term representation is used to refer to the construction of meaning through various symbols and images (Sisler, 2008). Cultures, races, and religions are represented in different forms of media around the world, but in most scenarios these representations are filled with stereotypes making western cultural ideologies and beliefs as better or ideal compared to other forms of cultural ideologies. The portrayal of Arab- Muslim Americans or Muslims in general, within the media of the United States focuses on the idea of agenda setting and the dominant ideology which frames the perceptions of mainstream America (Gerhauser, 2014). The United ...

[Refer to slide for the main triggers of these wars]. It is interesting to note that war has been an ...

What was the African American Renaissance, and how did it influence American culture and society?

African American Renaissance and its influence The time period 1918-1937 is known for the cultural movement the African Americans in Harlem took place. African Americans struggled against slavery against the white supremacy for decades which ended in the Harlem or African American Renaissance. The revolutionary movement after the great migration brought a remarkable cultural uplift in the American culture.

Gun control has been made possible largely with the help of these technology tools as the people are being monitored and managed much more effectively with ...

History

The Atomic Bomb Did the US Chose To Drop the Atomic Bomb on Japan Before 1939, it was the acknowledged conviction of researchers that it was hypothetically conceivable to discharge nuclear vitality. In any case, nobody knew any viable strategy, for preventing the use of the bombs. By the 1942, however, people realized that the Germans were researching exhaustively to figure out how to incorporate nuclear vitality to alternate motors of war that they were to use to progress the war against other countries in the world. Nevertheless, the Germans fizzled. The people should be appreciative the Germans were ...

On September 11, 2001, al Qaeda, an extremist Islamist organization, committed the deadliest terrorist attack in U.S history. No one in the world will ever forget that dark moment when two passenger planes, cutting through the blue sky, crashed into the iconic twin towers of the World Trade Center, leading them to collapse to the ground. In the aftermath of this tragedy, anti-Muslim sentiments and fear have grown significantly within the United States. In fact, while innocent Muslim-Americans are being subjected to discrimination at the hands of a section of American society, the notorious terrorists who actually committed the ...

In the early 1960s, a lot of people had no doubt that soon a third world war would start. It was supposed to be a nuclear conflict between the US and the Soviet Union, which would lead to the destruction of humanity, or at least to the collapse of modern civilization. Regularly occurring conflicts like the Korean War of 1950-1953 and the Cuban missile crisis of 1962 intensified the tensions and cultivated the fear in society. Sooner or later, with malicious intent or by mistake, the Cold War could turn into a "Hot War". Everyone understood it, and there ...

3.2 Party of the Institutionalized Revolution The Party of the Institutionalized Revolution was a political party in Mexico that was created by Plutarco Elias Calles in 1929. It lasted for 71 years in power in the country, and was the largest political party in Mexico at the time. The party leans toward socialism but has been grouped together with other socialist-democratic government parties. The PIR is historically significant because of its different take on the idea of revolution and the government. Every revolution in history has been based on the idea of breaking down institutions and tearing apart the ...

It used to be so easy. For tens of thousands of years, humans used wood-burning fire to heat their dwellings, to cook their food, to forge simple tools. Tens of thousands of years before that, human’s ancestors harnessed the power of fire, giving them a hunting advantage over other animals. Then, the population started to increase, especially after the Plague had ravaged much of the world’s population. Wood became scarce, especially in places of dense population, such as England. The increasing rarity of the resource made the demand for another source of energy greater than the demand ...

Guillermo Del Toro’s Spanish horror-fantasy film The Devil’s Backbone is a unique ghost story for its time, given the film’s setting during the Spanish Civil War and the morally ambiguous nature of the ghosts found in the film. In telling the story of a small orphanage in rural Spain in the early 1930s, haunted by a small boy named Santi whose death provides one of the central mysteries, The Devil’s Backbone mixes the high fantasy of fairy tales with the gritty despair of one of Spain’s most tumultuous historical periods. As evidenced in the ...

Upholding security is essential to the success of any corporate organization. Lack thereof compromises the overall performance of a firm and could result in mediocre results or complete failure. The recent insecurity concerns on the Walmart store at Daytona Beach have heightened the consumer’s concerns about shopping at that location. As such, there is a need to develop an appropriate intervention mechanism to aid in the minimization of the security threats. Achieving success in this endeavor will heighten not only the number of shoppers at the Walmart store but the overall consumer satisfaction with this outlet.

1. How did the Cold War emerge after W.W.II? How did the U.S.S.R. and the U.S. view actions such as the Berlin Blockade and a policy stance such as the Truman Doctrine differently? First off, after WW2, the U.S emerged as the sole superpower, mostly because of its nuclear bomb capacity. In addition, the Soviet Union had millions of citizens and was in no position to engage in any new militaristic operations. At that time, the US and the Soviet Union were uneasy allies, because of their mutual fear of the Nazi influence. Their partnership was “born of a ...

Why is this topic significant:

The number of foreign students going to America to pursue their studies keep increasing every year. Knowledge and information about these issues will help them prepare for what to expect.

The cases of injustice among members of ethnic minority groups appear to be escalating despite wide media attention.

Racial stereotyping, discrimination, and prejudice are serious problems that have major effects on the education and life of foreign students in America. The most recent case of Ahmed Mohamed, a 14-year old Muslim student who was arrested for bringing to school a digital clock he made using a pencil case, which the teacher misconstrued as a hoax bomb, represents the situation that members of ethnic minority groups studying in ...

On the 6th of August, 1945, the Enola Gay, a US B-29 bomber released an atomic bomb on the metropolis of Hiroshima and another unnecessary one in Nagasaki on August 9, 1945.
