Essays on Salisbury

My name is Hoyi Tsui and I was born in 1991 in Hong Kong, China. While I was born in Hong Kong, I immigrated with my family to the United States when I was seven years old and have since lived in Salisbury, Maryland, which I consider my home. I always had a passion for biology and medicine and was thrilled to learn that a career in pharmacy was within my grasp after searching through a local community college catalog in 20011. Not long after this discovery, I found great success as a student in the college’s “Pharmacy ...

It’s a bright and warm Sunday morning, and as I jog along the park's walking trail, my mind is busy with thoughts of mouth-watering sizzling steak on the grill. They say that, “Exercise helps reduce food cravings,” but that doesn’t work for me. The more I exercise, the more it triggers my appetite and the sheer thought of marvelous succulent, savory steak fueled my cravings. Sundays always give me the blues as it brings back memories of my dear Grandma who cooks the best Salisbury steak that were so good- to- the- last- bite. I grew up ...

The Board of Education violated her right to privacy

The Board of Education disregarded Pettit's entitlement to privacy. She had devoted much of her time to work with the mentally challenged children for more than thirteen years and, all through her vocation, her assessments were constantly positive. Her sexual orientation in “Swingers” is outside her jurisdiction of her role as a teacher and the allocated working hours, and she is at liberty to do whatever thing as long as it does not meddle with her performance as a professional instructor. Based on the allegations leveled against her, her sexual activities have nothing to do with her qualifications or ...

Agile methodology in software development refers to a model of project management in which modules are developed in fast iterations and software is typically delivered faster than in linear methods like Waterfall. In 2001, a group of people who advocated flexible methods to software development published a set of guidelines which are now known as the Agile Manifesto . The manifesto was developed keeping in mind the following assumptions in project management: System design by nature keeps evolving. Product module releases should be quick enough to keep pace with the changing demands.

The development teams should be very skilled.

In fact, Agile is generally not called methodology ; ...

In the story "One day of Ivan Denisovich," Solzhenitsyn shows the extent to which the subtle forms of exploitation a totalitarian state machine may develop. Being convicted of illegally, many prisoners are paid for the error investigation or someone's criminal intent of his life and liberty. The camp theme of time is particularly acute. It is no accident Shukhov never overslept the lift, because he had one and a half hours of free time. The second major problem faced by people getting in conclusion, is the problem of preservation of dignity. The author emphasizes that it is impossible in ...

Introduction

Deinstitutionalization of the mentally ill involves the replacement of isolated psychiatric hospitals where patients stay for a long time before they are integrated back to the community. Deinstitutionalization has two most important aspects: reduction of the number of individuals in mental institutions by releasing them and reduction of both admission and re-admission rates in such facilities. The intention is to ensure that the number of patients retained in such facilities for long term stay is minimized as much as possible (Valentine & DeAngelo, 2016). Deinstitutionalization is a good community practice because it prevents isolation of a particular group of people ...

Article summary

Article Summary Existing literature suggests that nurse staffing influences patient safety. Improved nurse staffing has been shown to promote optimal patient outcomes such as reduced medical errors, healthcare associated infections, and inpatient stays. A nurse-patient ratio of 4:1 or less has been shown to promote the most optimal patient outcomes. In addition to the impact on patient outcomes, nurse staffing levels also have potential impact on job satisfaction and retention of nurses (Hairr, Salisbury, Johannsson, & Redfern-Vance, 2014). This paper will summarize a study by Hairr, Salisbury, Johannsson, & Redfern-Vance (2014) that examined the link between nurse staffing, job satisfaction, and ...

Probation and Parole are the most salient correctional tools in the society’s efforts in enforcing both criminal and juvenile justice. They are essentially designed to motivate offenders into reforming for the better. When a probation sentence is meted, the offenders are allowed to serve their sentences out of prison. They may be assigned community service duties and at the same time be closely monitored by the respective probation authorities. On the other hand parole implies that an offender who is serving a prison sentence is released on account of good behavior especially if the sentence they are serving ...

Industrialization in America, 1876-1900

In the late 1800’s, the world witnessed an unprecedented migration of people from all over the world to America. This movement was occasioned by the search for jobs, escape from famines, escape from political and religious oppressions, increased taxes among other host of causes from the immigrant’s homelands as Gereffi and Wyman (1860-1876) documents. These massive immigration was due to the fact that America, at the time, was considered a land of opportunity. America at the time also witnessed a massive rural to urban migration.

Question 1

Culture refers to a state of manners, tastes and the intellectual development of a people coupled with their ideas, arts, and customs at a given time (Hernandez et al.). As such, it is the outline that guides human behavior and also influences individual thoughts and actions of a particular society. These behaviors and customs have to be passed from a generation to the other in order to ensure that the culture survives. Culture emergent approach focuses on elaborating and re-conceptualization of factors that are found in the traditional cultural definitions (Hernandez et al.). This approach to culture identifies that ...

I. Introduction When Great Britain and Spain set out to colonize other regions, they both have goals that they wanted to accomplish in their conquest. The idea of taking over of other regions, considerably differ with each colonizer, but their goals were defended on the presumption that they wanted to civilize other places that they considered to have yet to experience the European progress. While the advancement of the Christian faith was said to figure prominently in Spain’s conquest, the Great Britain was said to have set its eye on seeking out better settlement. However, most historians claimed ...

Based on the readings, it was rather ironical that the religious missionaries helped in the promotion of colonization as well as the institution of slavery and oppression while they preached about Christian values. This must have added to the confusion and the difficulty of convincing the people to embrace Christianity, because the teachings differ from the principles of colonization which entails the use of power. It will be useful to start with how power and religion has helped in fostering the foundation of colonialism. When the Europeans set out to colonize regions outside their sphere, it was their goal ...

- Comment in agreement or disagreement with the following quote: “during the 19th Century Russia was considered to have the most conservative and least reform-minded, government in Europe." What factors in Russian history contributed to this situation? What was the response to this reality by liberal leaning Russian military and political leaders? In Russia, the central political and economic problem was serfdom, which was basically slavery under another name with the majority of the population in an un-free condition. Certainly some Russian governments attempted to deal with this problem, particularly Tsar Alexander II, who freed the serfs ...

(Professor/Instructor)

However, restoring the South will cost millions of dollars, and the budgets of the state government exploded. Protests against the imposition of new taxes, antagonism on the empowerment of former “black” slaves, and apprehensions of “black power” triggered violent attacks against African-Americans by former Confederate elements. President Johnson foolishly disrupted the victory of his political enemies with his belligerent stance. This drove the conservative bloc in the Republic Party “into the arms” of the more progressive sector in the party. In the formerly Confederate states, the Republic Party assumed the mantle of control and restructured the state ...

The purpose of this paper is to differentiate the Medieval Art from Renaissance Style. The way to study the present is to first study the past; hence, the Renaissance style that flourished in the beginning of the 15th century was nothing more than a rebirth and continuation of the classical styles whilst breaking free from the traditional religious concepts of the Medieval Period. The Middle Ages or commonly known as the Medieval Period is a part of the European history dating from the fall of the Roman Empire in 476 A.D. Erstwhile, in 395 A.D., the Roman Empire was divided into ...

The importance of quality of services provided by sales personnel is decisive for any retail business. In fact, it is sales representative who makes the initial contact with customers, guides them throughout their visit to the store and hands them the selected product on their leave.

Global Marketing Benefits Everyone

US President Barak Obama stated in his address in Everett, Washington, at Boeing on February 17, 2012 to its employees, “and in a global economy, some companies are always going to find it more profitable to pick up and do business in other parts of the world. That’s just the nature of a global economy. But what that does not mean that we’ve got to just sit there and settle for a lesser future. I don’t accept that idea. You don’t accept that idea. America is a place where we can always do something to create new jobs, ...

Beauty pageants have long been a part of the multibillion entertainment industry, serving as a platform, where participants can show their talents, earn money and recognition and acquire certain social status. While adult participants can take full responsibility for their actions and choices during the competition, children are usually dependent on the decision of their parents, whose irresponsibility can lead to a range of negative outcomes, such as the deprivation of normal childhood in healthy environment, sexualization of young participants, which may cause sexual abuse or the instilment of wrong moral values, according to which appearance is the main prerequisite for a successful ...

Solzhenitsyn's first novel One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich was published in 1962 after a round of intense, routine scrutiny by Party officials. (Biography of A. Solzhenitsyn) It is autobiographical: ‘Mr. Solzhenitsyn, who spent 11 years (1945-56) in various prisons, concentration camps and places of forced exile in the Soviet Union because of some disrespectful references to Stalin in private correspondence with a friend, caused a worldwide sensation in November 1962 when his first novel, "One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich," was published in the magazine Novy Mir.’ (Kramer) There Alexander Solzhenitsyn wrote his masterpiece. ‘The tale involves a ...

Home schooling can be defined as education of children under parental supervision. This mode of shooling which was once a fringe phenomenon has changed to become a mainstream in the Unites States. It is legal in all states and has been broadly considered as one of the most rapidly improving division of K-12 schooling. Factually, education matters in the United States are delegated by states and the U.S constitution does not elaborate on education matters. In this regard, every State has its own provision for regulating homeschooling. Correspondingly, this mélange regulatory environment is a clear indication of trend across the United ...

McDonald’s Corporation is one of largest foodservice retailers in the world. The Company was established in 1940 and headquartered in the U.S, but following its internationalization strategy it has grown rapidly over the years.

Henry IV Secures the Monarchy

A monarchy refers to the hereditary mode of governance with all the powers vested in the monarch who is the head of state (Wise Geek 1). The French absolutism began during Henry IV’s rule. When he came into office, the country was in a state of chaos resulting from endless religious wars between the two divisions of the Christian faith in addition to political in-fighting. The popularity of the state had significantly gone down with poor control of government money due to disorder in the country. Henry IV witfully asserted a lot of effort to turn the situation around. ...

The Path of a Japanese American Soldier

History is a mystery. It is not simply difficult for understanding, but it is a mystery because with each generation its perception changes. From one point, each generation has its own way of looking on life. From another point of view, the more time passes by, the more new information and historical documents become available and people can eventually find out the truth about their grandparents and their roles in history. The case of wars is even more difficult for understanding, because there opposite sides, and you have soldiers and their relatives, who believe in their state's policy and reasons to ...

Introduction

Contributing factors to the failed teaching methods of America's flawed urban educational systems include historical, political, cultural, administrative, teacher preparedness, and the socio-economic conditions of the school settings. These circumstances become exacerbated by the influx of second language immigrants into already failing systems because of lack of quality trained administrators and teachers prepared for the profound demographics of urban school settings. According to Salisbury and Latique (2004), "Minority children living in America's inner cities suffer disproportionately from a failing education system (p. xv)." This academic exploration of this ongoing educational crisis in America finds the underpinning explanation resides in ...

The Chartes Cathedral and the Salisbury Cathedral are both unique cathedrals. They represent the Christian as a symbol of the age and magnificence of the church. However they achieve this by having unique architectural facets that make them different.

Introduction

Miller (2013, p. 173) stated that the doctrine of promissory estoppel also known as “detrimental reliance”, shall give any person who has reasonably and substantially relied on the promise of another to acquire some measure of recovery. At present time, the doctrine of promissory estoppel has been used in different contexts by the court that allowed the recovery of a promise despite lack consideration on the promissor. The doctrine enabled the court to enforce an unenforceable promise that will prevent the miscarriage of justice to those who suffered losses and damages. In order for the ...

The economy of any country plays a vital role in its prosperity and development. It is no doubt, the back bone in any country’s sustainability. Whenever the system of productivity and consumption of resources is strong in any country, it provides a tool for the economic development.

This is all due to some economic reforms their governments have implemented in order to alleviate their people from poverty ...

The Importance of Diverse and Multicultural Work Teams in Heath Care Delivery

Today, work teams are a crucial management tool used mainly to manage performance through maximization of flexibility, creativity and output. Cultural diversity is a mainstay characteristic of our society and is a critical factor in the health care sector. In this context, Roper (2011) defined diversity as encompassing such individual or group dimensions as race, gender, sexual orientation, and physical ability. For better performance of a diverse team, Roper argued that the members involved should be able to develop competence in working with others from different cultural backgrounds; a concept known as multiculturalism (2011, p. 71). Gerteis and Hartmann (2005) defined multiculturalism as a set ...

1. Discuss the Lay Investiture struggle and give its effects.

During the period, pope was given an authority that was not very clear to the people. The ...

Architecture made by various artists differs in one way or the other. However, there may be certain similarities that may be noticed in their works. This leads us to the analysis of Chartres Cathedrals and Salisbury Cathedrals. One of the differences between the two cathedrals is based on the design of the outside side of the churches (Kleiner 2011). The external part of the churches in the Chartres case was filled with sculptures. These sculptures involved the pictures of Jesus Christ and his mother, Mary. Salisbury cathedrals also involved sculptures, although there is a difference in the positioning of the ...

Introduction

It is becoming clear that the many practices that are seen in lifestyles today cannot meet sustainability in a definite manner. The planet is becoming small and more resources are not in a position to be produced. What is more, there are many inhabitants who cannot even provide the very basic needs that they need. The problem of the need to live with the limited resources that are there today with equal access to limited resources is one of the concepts of sustainable development. There is complexity in engineering and products; this has called for engineers to consider ways of approaching ...
