Abstract

Traumatic brain injury is an acquired injury to the brain that results from an external blunt or penetrating force to the head while; intentional hypoxia is the loss of oxygen supply to the brain which leads to a continuum of injury severity. A review of current literature on this topic suggests that comparisons can be readily drawn between traumatic brain injury and hypoxic brain injury in a rehabilitation setting. Even so, diagnosis of hypoxic brain injury and traumatic brain injury is essential in providing guidance on decisions of treatment. Treating intentional hypoxia, however, involves an establishment of the desired ...

This brief analysis shall examine Derek Walcott’s poem, Crusoe’s Journal. The overall subject of the poem is inspired from Daniel Defoe’s novel Robinson Crusoe, and reflects a tail of British imperialism with the colonizers’ triumphing over the natives. Walcott’s poem takes on a similar tone and style and illustrates the moral difficulties involved within human consciousness. The poem begins with poetic observation into the simplicity of the smallest tools that could possibly be a metaphor for the lives of natives who live the life amongst these tools within simplicity. In support of this point, the ...

“At his best, man is the noblest of all animals; separated from law and justice he is worst”—Aristotle The above statement made by Aristotle emphasizes the significance of law and justice in not only maintaining order, but also help to affirm the nobility and distinction of human beings.

Rap has entered the history of American art over a century ago. The people who have laid the foundations for rap as we know it today were the two big ethnical groups of the American society: African Americans and people from the Caribbean Islands. Folk artists of the mentioned origins were telling rhymed stories with the accompaniment of rhythmic music (drums and sparse instrumentation). This music already existed years before hip-hop was developed and became popular. Rapping is actually reading or chanting of rhythmic lyrics that were designed to set a beat. Many specialists are of the opinion that ...

Post Disaster Project: Prepare a Project Plan

Project description A disaster is natural or man-made occurrence, that causes immense damage to human life, animal life or properties, on a large scale. It creates the need for external human assistance to alleviate the sufferings of the victims, minimize their loss and return them back to a state where they can manage the situation independently. Sometimes, the damage associated with a disaster is irreversible and assistance can only help victims to adapt. A proper disaster management project can help foresee disasters and minimize loss. Preparedness, response, recovery and mitigation are the different stages involved in the management of ...

Over the years, while disparity in healthcare remains a pertinent tissue within the healthcare system in America, and more particularly along racial lines, there has been little effort to develop evidence to unearth this reality. While the issue has been significantly explored and documented, there are no specific cases or solutions as to how these disparities can be managed and the disparity gaps closed (Byrd, Michael and Linda, Clayton, 171). Apparently, this is due to the general and historical perception that the disparity will gradually close down and a time, infinite time, will come when disparity in the sector ...

The right to live or die lies in the hands of an individual. However, the debate on physician-assisted suicide continues to gather different opinions from supporters and opposers. California is one of the legal states in America that supports assisted suicide, though there are religious groups and human rights activists who oppose the act. The journey to its legalization had its up and downs, seen many doctors suffer from practicing the procedure while others being grateful about it. With time, California continued to gather support towards the approval of assisted suicide and people celebrated once it became law in ...

Freedom of speech on campus is a right as guaranteed by the First Amendment. Recently it is an argumentative issue on several campuses (Amar). Students are tired of the first amendment as it is becoming more vulnerable to violation. Note that, students are creating very hostile and unsafe learning premises for themselves. Thus, speech codes prevent a lot of harm that would perhaps occur to students (Herron). Violation of speech can involve sensitive verbal attacks that would otherwise oppress and discriminate a student (Arthur, John, and Amy). Such a minor violation can affect the ability of a student. In ...
