Of the many borrowed principles which are currently in use in the professional nursing world, the social exchange theory has proved to be very crucial as regards to the relationships which care providers have with their patients. The stability of relationships between different persons in the society is based on the interactions which they have amongst themselves. Furthermore, the benefits which an individual stands to gain from their relationships are what make them enter into coalitions (Cook et al., 2013). A balance in the relationships between different parties is the primary goal for people forming such coalitions. The core ...

Introduction As a child, the mind is easily in awe and wonder about the simplest or most basic experiences. Experts argue that this may be the case because children’s brains are wired differently compared to when they grow up as adults. When children grow up, their brain physiology and chemistry change so as to accommodate other sections of the brain that are necessary for adulthood. Consequently, individual loses her child-like wonder when experiencing ordinary events as an adult. Therefore, childhood is a time when the brain focuses on allowing the child to develop by ...

Aboriginal peoples and communities are among the first inhabitants of Canada and are thus considered as one of the founders of Canada. Aboriginal peoples already had legal systems and governance structures even before European settlers arrived in Canada. With the advent of European settlers, Aboriginal peoples were forced to either assimilate to the foreign systems and culture or ignore the immigrants and keep their culture. The latter, however, resulted in conflicts between the European settlers and the local Aboriginal communities. Such conflicts were settled through the signature treaties. However, the signing of the agreements did not guarantee that the ...

The United States is currently embroiled in a debate on how healthcare should be structured. The Republicans have sworn to repeal the Affordable Care Act. On the other hand, more than 33 million people are not able to afford basic healthcare services, do not have medical covers, and most of them do not have proper employment (Atun, De Andrade, Almeida, Cotlear, Dmytraczenko, Frenz, & De Paula, 2015). Additionally, most middle-income earners cannot afford proper health insurance or afford to pay health care costs off their pockets. Essentially, this is best demonstrated by the high number of bankruptcies filed due to ...

The doctrine of the Trinity is unique to Christianity. It underpins Christian theology and is the most important doctrine of Christian faith and practice.

According to Exodus 3:14 and Philippians 1:2, the Father is God, in John 8: 58 and Titus 2:13, we are told ...

Having been brought up in a contemporary middle class family, I never had to endure extreme struggles as is the case with some of the ...

Relativism can be in the form of empirical or normative and tends to relate to judgments an individual makes regarding a particular phenomenon (Siame 45).

Cultural relativists would assert that culture involves unchanging set of societal arrangements. Culture is itself a system that defines how a particular group of people have organized themselves in order to preserve ...

Thesis Statement: Although progressives responded to the ills of inner cities and working-class immigrants with significant reforms, they mostly failed to address the horrors of Jim Crow rule in the South. The first set of reforms, which sought to curb the social problems that plagued the United States during the Progressive Era, revolved around an understanding of the communities as a key component in providing the necessary solutions. According to Eric Foner, part of the changes encompassed improving the democratic government by not only “weakening the power of city bosses” but also giving the ordinary citizens more influence on ...

Benefits and drawbacks of VAT

As a taxing system, VAT has been used globally since the 1950’s and it presents unique benefits and drawbacks in itself. First, VAT is beneficial in generating income for governments which is important to cover government expenses as Stiglitz and Rosengard, (2015) observe. Since VAT is vast and is imposed to most produced goods and services, most governments regard it as money production engine. Through this taxation system also, tax evasion is minimized. Consequentially, a reliable income source is achieved by governments. Through value added tax system, it is also possible to enter into regional protocols (Pomeranz, 2015). ...
