According to Mary Warren, a fetus is a genetic human being but is not a moral agent. It follows then that a fetus is not a part of the moral community. The fetus according to Warren lacks the required characteristics that qualify it to be a part of the moral community (LaFollette, 2014). It should, therefore, not receive moral protection. It follows then that it is right to terminate a fetus before it qualifies to be a moral being. For an individual to qualify to be a moral person rather than a genetic human, such a person must have ...

Purpose of the study

Self-stimulatory behaviors are common among children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (Cunningham & Schreibman, 2008). Aggression is also a common behavior problem among children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (Hill et al., 2014). Various scholars have suggested that an association exists between the self-stimulatory behaviors found in children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders and aggressive behavior, another common behavior challenge (Dominic et al., 2007 and Kanne & Mazurek, 2011). The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship that exists between the self-stimulatory behavior and aggressive behavior in children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder.

In the age of slavery, white American society considered African people to be benighted heathens with the other skin color, body structure, and inappropriate traditions and culture.

American society prevented the assimilation of African-American slaves even after the generations of their presence on the American land and repudiated their equality to Whites even when they started to adopt Christian way of life. For Americans, African people had continued to be barbarians who had come to America to be ...

As an immigrant to the United States of America, I understand better than many native citizens just how complicated cultural identity can be. To someone who was born in this country and has lived here all her life, it might be difficult to understand that an individual's experiences are profoundly shaped by the culture where she grows up. The time I spent in Guyana as a young person gave me a strong personal identity and a powerful belief in God, both of which have affected how and why I learn. I was born in the South American country of ...

Question and Answers

Question 1

Mann, a proponent argued that the institution would reinforce social stability by liberating students from their parents’ influences that failed to encourage discipline among them.

Neill Blomkamp’s allegorical sci-fi action adventure District 9 manages to fit a number of trenchant themes and issues relating to technology and politics within its unusual structure and audacious tone. Depicting a fictionalized world in which a derelict alien ship floats above Johannesburg, South Africa, with its indigent alien population (colloquially called ‘prawns’) segregated into districts and marginalized by its people, District 9 uses its setting in a powerful way to present a startling critique of the African apartheid that occurred in the late half of the twentieth century. In addition to its social criticisms about apartheid and ...

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 ...

Also, this refers to those individuals who look for an additional source of earnings. Most often work at home has a price-work payment of work as on a straight line it ...

Concept of cultural competence nursing

Changing demographics in most nations require that nurses offer culturally competent care. Due to diverse populations, medical professionals have started to address the essence of creating a way to promote cultural competence in different healthcare situations. Primarily, cultural competence involves creating an appreciation of a person’s existence, consciousness, notions, and situation without permitting it to have an inappropriate effect on people from different backgrounds. Additionally, cultural competence demonstrates understanding and comprehension of the patient’s culture, embracing and accepting cultural diversity, and personalizing care based on the patient’s culture (Flowers, 2004). Public health nurses should pay attention ...

Abstract:

Many people believe homeschooling is a bad idea for kids for a number of reasons, but college admission professionals are helping to change that idea. Colleges are actively seeking homeschooled students, as they have discovered advantages to admitting these students.

Mass Communication sets or perpetuates some gender agendas.

Mass communication provides an enormous influence on today’s society. It is something, which influences people thoughts, ideas, and attitude. It deals with art, paintings, films, music, and language.

In particular, it influences children. Movies today promote the adult way of living. Maybe they do not describe it completely but still provide a great example of everyday life, which little children see. Still, the TV has its censorship, which splits both relevant and ...

Previous studies reveal that mental health conditions affect a significant percentage of the population. For example, statistics of mental health in England in 2014 showed that approximately one in three men was suffering from mental health with women reporting higher incidences than men (Rise in Mental Healthcare, 2016). The figures are too large to ignore. Studies of populations at risk of mental health have taken different dimensions. While some studies have focused on the prevalence, other studies have attempted to investigate the risk factors associated mental health disorders. According to Bitsko et al. (2016), a combination of sociodemographic, community, ...

Reason for Catholic and Protestant Reformation’ Great Impact on Europe

The Catholic and Protestant Reformation represent the radical, religious, academic and traditional disturbance that traumatized Catholic Europe in the 16th Century. It set in place the notions and opinions that would describe the continent in the contemporary period. In central and northern Europe, activists like John Calvin, and Martin Luther questioned papal power and probed the Catholic Church’s capability to define Christian exercise. Although the movement was predominantly spiritual, the attitude of independence endorsed by Protestantism steered many people to rebel in contradiction of the power of the church and the authoritative monarchs, who relied on their authority ...

Recent research has proved that BMI alone cannot be an appropriate way of measuring obesity. The main reason for this is the differences in ethnicity and the genetic make-up of individuals. The National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) has evaluated the trend of the BMI and the result is that the African ...

While the concept of race is today clearly recognized as fictitious, the term itself has taken an altogether new reality as a cultural denotation.
