Violence and aggression are the hallmark of old patriarchal societies where men’s supremacy was the main value underpinning a family. However and unfortunately, it would be too early to talk about such type of social structure using the past tense, since even in our today’s open-minded world patriarchal families based on men’s violence and women’s oppression are not a rare case. While trying to understand why such a situation could take place and why Beth could follow and obey her husband so long, it would be helpful to address the theoretical approach suggested by Andersen ...

Obstacle to Sustainable Development

It is proved that in places where people litter, take the environment for granted and where people do not appreciate natural resources, the atmosphere is not at all happy ((Blakely, Haley and Woodward). In 2014, the United Nations on the basis of three indicators such as life expectancy of citizens, availability of education and standard of living (poverty or affluence), calculated the index of human development in 190 countries around the world. It is not necessary to prove that the index of human development greatly depends on the ecology of the environment - in other words, to prove that ...

When individuals take part in edgework activities which are acts that involve extreme risk- taking, they tend to push themselves thus, to the edge of danger for the purpose of gaining excitement as well as certainty (Lyng ...

There’s a loud, ringing sound. It’s jarring, waking me from the otherwise cozy warmth that is my bed. I am forced to stick my hand, then my entire arm out from under the safety of my bedclothes in order to turn it off. To snooze or not to snooze? It will just go off in another seven minutes. I may as well get up now. The sooner I do, the sooner I get to see my best friend. Groggy, bleary eyes, rubbing sleep from my face and half stumbling I wander into the kitchen, hearing the relations ...

Elizabeth M. Armstrong and Ernest L. Abel are the authors of the essay on “Fetal Alcohol Syndrome: The Origins of a Moral Panic,” which seems to be more of an opinion/editorial piece. Information about Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) is provided through presentation of various studies that confirm the authors’ position on FAS being less severe than the way it has been reported (Armstrong & Abel, 2000). Armstrong and Abel clearly acknowledge the FAS is a real diagnosis, but they do not think that it warrants as much panic as what has been created through western medicine and society (Armstrong & Abel, ...

Abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs is a nettlesome problem, as its incidence has risen since the beginning of the century.

In my opinion, the most important problem of today is the lack of fresh water. Global freshwater resources are threatened because the need for it has been increased in the variety of areas. More and more people need more water (demographic reasons). Thus climate change is likely to contribute to the occurrence of droughts (climate cause). Fresh water is 3% of the total water volume. Approximately 75% of the world's fresh water is contained in glaciers and icebergs; almost all of the remaining water is mainly located in underground aquifers (Rinkesh). Only 1% of water supplies is readily accessible ...

There are several examples of failed projects in the world. These projects either began as great ideas which could help the people living in those areas or they could add to the economy.

One such example of a failed project is the failure of Target in Canada. Target is one of the most popular retail stores in the United States which has been around for a long time.

Abstract

A complete and thorough health assessment can help in the correct diagnosis (Dingman, 1941). According to a famous saying “A case well taken is half solved”.

As every patient is a different individual, thorough case taking is required in order to establish the individuality of the patient. Many features of the patients may have a role to play in his or her health, therefore, ...

Introduction

In spite of the contribution of urbanization to the economic growth in Zhejiang, its adverse effects far much outweigh the positives since sustainability of the ecosystem and the society is at stake. Environmental concerns, particularly air pollution, are real threats to the ecosystem since they lead to increased atmospheric temperatures which in turn result in climate changes. Urbanization contributes to pollution through higher energy consumption and motorization that have resulted in higher volumes of greenhouse gasses emitted in the air. The shrinking of natural resources is another consequence of urbanization where there is the rampant destruction of natural habitats, ...

In this paper I chose to write on the song “Fast Car” by Tracy Chapman. I ultimately chose this song because I had a three-way tie going between it and “Hurt” the Johnny Cash version and Jeff Buckley’s version of “Hallelujah”. As much as I love “Hurt” I felt that it may be a bit too dark for this assignment. I chose not to do “Hallelujah” because this is only a three-page paper and I tend to get obsessed when I analyze that song. So I am looking at “Fast Car” which in my opinion is one of ...

<Institution> It was not easy letting go of something that we really love and something that has been part of our system for so long. I know this, but I also know that I can only clearly understand the hardships behind it through experience.

Increased live birth delivery of women with natal drinking or smoking: A nursing critique

Abstract Prenatal smoking and alcoholic drinking are for its serious health risks during and after live delivery. Amidst the ethical question on this maternal choice, a contention insists that alcohol and tobacco non-use prenatal and at natal has increased. Doubts on its validity were noted. My hypothesis: the observation came too early both in the national English and the global contexts. The contention was hard to sustain. The diverse factors affecting global decision making work against that contention. Both the American and English data failed to support that contention on the strong reality of the incomplete and potentially unsound ...

Public disturbance is actions that violate public order or moral or other behaviour that is interpreted as a threat to the normal routine of life of the society. Examples of such crimes are prostitution, pornography, gambling, vagrancy, public drunkenness and drug use.

Latest statistics show that almost 80% of crimes are committed while intoxicated. Public disturbance under the influence of alcohol unfortunately occurs quite often.

Littering: The Urban Menace

The word “litter” is commonly heard in connection with animals which produce many offspring in one go. It thus suggests something of a numerical excess seen in relation to the norm, here the human pattern. In the pejorative sense it conveys an inconvenient recurrence. In the special context of habitable environments it clearly implies inconvenient excesses that destroy the rhythm and balance of otherwise placid surroundings. By deduction it refers to redundant objects and material that disturbs the calm spell of community life. Thus we may locate littering in the environmental perspective.

Karnani’s response to Prahalad’s work The Fortune at the Bottom of the Pyramid (2002) has two main points; reasoning is not sound and the suggestions are full of fallacies. Karnani’s argument that there not a huge amount of money to be made by selling products specifically to the poor makes sense. The bottom of the pyramid does not have that much money to offer to the businesses. It is difficult to argue with Karnani’s reasoning as the points mentioned are legitimate. However, it is not the details that matter but the essence or the idea ...
