“If it has ‘science’ in its name, it ain’t (Minnick).” Those words were said to this writer by the smartest person he ever knew personally, a man with PhDs in Mathematics and Physics, a true scientist. He went on to explain that science, if it is science, can be reduced to mathematics and then can predict. “Science can generate electricity or flatten cities,” he said. The problem, of course, is that whenever one deals with the “soft sciences,” political science or economics (the dismal science) or sociology or history or any of the disciplines that are housed in ...

The American society is full of different ethnicities and races. However, every ethnicity aims for better life and understanding between each other. For achievement of these goals, the better solution may be found as education. Though, it is a very complicated and controversial issue. Hence, every ethnicity has different perspectives of the process of obtaining the education. On the other hand, it should be mentioned that the opportunities for getting an education are not equal. Therefore, this inequality forms a level of education among the popularity of the USA. This issue has been deeply investigated among the sociologists and ...

It is one of the ironies of history that the “old west” was actually the last area of the north American continent to be settled. By 1860, for example, San Francisco, California was a booming city of 56,802 persons making it the 15th largest city in the nation (San Francisco Population). Kansas City, meanwhile, had a population of 4,418 (U.S. Census Bureau). Denver, Colorado was already the “Queen City of the Plains” with a population of 4,749 (Population of Denver, CO). These three communities are important since Denver and Kansas City represent the western and eastern ...

The elderly populations at Senior care centers are of major concern to me. There are about 50 care centers within the Covington area.

We trust you will find this summary report informative and hope you will consider us for future projects. The most succinct answer to your question is this – Health Care.

The demographics are clear and America is, as we all know, “graying.” Add to that the fact that Sarasota is in Florida, also known as “God’s waiting room,” and this became what we ...

Gap in Care Quality during the Discharge Process for Care Coordination for Patients with Chronic Illnesses

Patients in the United States who experience long-term illnesses may change from one health care setting to another.

In order to determine the best possible option for the patient, care coordinators must accurately assess the patient’s condition, reach a consensus on prognosis, evaluate possible resources, and develop and initiate ...

Problem Statement

There are a number of reasons, defined by the ethical as well as the economic and the political scenes, for the non-diminishing interest in addressing the gap between the rich and the poor. "The rich get richer and the poor get poorer" is an aphorism, which outlines the major views on economic inequality and the criticism, seen in academic and business literature, towards the philosophy of free market and capitalism in general. One of the principal works, laying the foundation for the discussion, is the work by Thomas Piketty, Capital in the Twenty-First Century (2014), who places the idea ...

Introduction

Historical Analysis Foremost, to understand the grounds on which Jim Crow laws emerged, there is a need for one to consider the situation that developed in the United States in the years leading to the mentioned Civil War. On one hand, Southern plantation owners assumed a pro-slavery stand as a means to protect their economic interests. The growth of cotton in the South was dependent on the free and hard labor that the institution of slavery availed. On the other hand, Northerners voiced their anti-slavery sentiments and called for the freedom of all black slaves. The endorsement of the ...

Introduction

Rational and other forms of discrimination, including ethnic discrimination have been the bane of major political discourse in the history of the United States.

However, despite the successes of the human rights activists in ensuring that every citizen is accorded equal rights, the disparities that are still experienced in the provision of health ...

The biggest change between 1990 and 2000 in the structure of the American family is the larger number of householder-unmarried partner-natural child. In 2000, this was the seventh most common type of household, with 1.6 million in representation. In 53 percent of households that included a grandparent, a partner for the householder was not present (U.S. Census Bureau). So the intergeneration trend of having a grandparent present appeared, at least in part, to help householders deal with the challenges of raising a child without a present parent. There are some obvious benefits to having a grandparent around and taking ...

Introduction

Practically, a tax is the most important instrument of fiscal policy and arguably, the most important aspect of public policy. For starters, tax influences the amount of money a government has to spend, as well as the amount the government needs to borrow in case of a difference between tax receipts and planned government expenditure (Pragyandeepa, 2015). The scarcity of resources, including the limits on the amount of taxes collected, influences the choices of spending by a government in the provision of services and public goods. In that vein, governments are always under pressure to have a sound prioritization ...

I am working towards becoming a training and development manager. I harbor the belief that all capable individuals should assist their colleagues to achieve their optimum potentials. Ideally, a fortunate or less informed individual should be willing to assist the less informed or the less fortunate ones. An individual’s weakness should not be a basis for discrimination or despise. Instead, it should be a valuable opportunity for one to build greater and more desirable competencies for another person. Where an individual shows the desire and willingness to develop other people’s talents, they also benefit themselves in one ...

Although neighborhood segregation had been attributed to social courses such as ethnicity, racism and cultures, in the last few decades, there is growing evidence that differences ...
