Like many other United States National Parks, Badlands is unique unto itself with physical attributes that when they are seen one knows it is Badlands National Park. Located in an area rich with history, the Badlands was created and founded as a national monument in 1939 by President Roosevelt before officially becoming a national park in 1978 (Steiner, 1993). The landscape of buttes, ravines, and hills found in the midst of the prairie of Southwestern South Dakota influenced the Lakota Sioux to call the area, ‘mako sica’ or ‘badlands’ (“South Dakota Legends,” 2003). The Sioux Pine Ridge reservation lies ...

My name is Archibald Jones. Throughout my lifetime I lived through a ton of advancements in industrial production. I’ve ever heard some people call it a revolution – an industrial revolution. I’m not sure I’d go that far, but from when I first moved into my farm and to where I am today, I can tell you, things have changed a ton.

Introduction

Contemporary studies view parties as alliances of politicians whose ultimate objective is to win electoral office. Parties make promises on behalf of their candidates about what they will do if elected, and help improve chances of reelection for incumbents through their records of implementing their programs (Bawn et al. 571). It is plain to see how these parties might serve democracy. Citizens can give more effective direction to government by voting for a party instead of an individual. They create an incentive for responsible governance by holding an entire party rather than a single politician accountable for government actions (Bawn et ...

Political History and Development of Nursing Education: Comparison of Kenya and Poland

Traditions and culture in Kenya are the origins of its nursing system. As an African country, the wide belief of Kenyan community in the occult and/or supernatural had determined their earliest conceptual explanations of illness and disease. The earliest known nurses in Kenya were the Traditional Health Providers and Traditional Birth Attendants (Mule, 1986). Traditional Health Providers and Traditional Birth Attendants of the pre-professional nursing era in Kenya used objects, particularly herbs and ancient practices of sacrifice/offering, as the basic forms of medicines (Mule, 1986). However, with the arrival of Western missionaries on Kenyan lands, the traditional nursing known ...

People are either given or seek empowerment from various sources. Some situation that offers empowerment can be viewed by society as morally wrong. Other types of empowerment could be seen as a source of inspiration.

In "The Man who was Almost a Man," the reader is introduced to Dave, who is seventeen years old. He lives in a world that is dominated by other people who do not view him as a man. ...

Comparison of the Dominant Culture and Where Those of Lesbians, Gays, Bisexual, and Transgender Fits in

Comparing the Dominant Culture and the Culture where the Third Sex Fits in Introduction It has been recognized that one of the greatest assets of Canada is social diversity. Given that diversity itself is both tangible and intangible, there is still a need to reassure that the needs of all citizens regardless of ethnicity and sexual backgrounds should be acknowledged as a fundamental step in establishing social equity (Sinha, 2013). Not all cultures and social groups accept the idea of homosexuality as primary sector of the entire social community. More often than not, LGBT communities are denied of respect ...

Introduction

Intellectuals spent a considerable period of time during the 20th century discussing skeptical arguments which claim that it is impossible to have knowledge of the existing world. These arguments stem from theories of Descartes and have been the basis of heated discourses on the subject of the external world. The skeptics to the notion of the external world have claimed that their premises on the subject are intuitively obvious. However, they have not offered empirical evidence to underpin their intuition. Some authors contend that the intuitions underpinning their skeptical arguments are universal (widely shared) for those who think critically about ...

Thesis Statement:Du Bois argued that people from African decent live through a special double consciousnesswhere there exists a psychological challenge of integration of African heritage to the European cultural background and education. Walker used the mule as the representation of black women who surpassed the abuses and oppression they went through to establish African identity, territory, class, culture and kinship with other nations. King’s letter was used as the medium to expose his sentiments against racism and human conflict where he expressed optimism in his battle despite the extreme prejudices committed against the blacks. Race is proven to ...

Question 1: What is the value of cultural awareness and sensitivity training for psychologist? Discuss

Globally, psychologists interact with clients who emanate from a background characterized by diversity in terms of ethnicity, linguistic orientation and cultural establishment.

These range from the skills and knowledge that they have to experience in this particular field of specification.

The end of the Civil War saw an end to slavery, allowing enslaved African-Americans to become freedmen, and with that came many rights they had heretofore been denied. Some of these rights were a promise to freedmen who fought for the North to get “forty acres and a mule,” a phrase referring to the allotment of land and property for any black American who enlisted for service in the Union army. After this point, Reconstruction occurred, a time of strife and great adjustment for a healing nation. Despite the freeing of all African-Americans from slavery, they still had significant struggles getting the land they ...

Janie Mae Crawford and Logan Killicks – why does their marriage not work?
