Everyone remembers stories beginning with “once upon a time” and ending in “happily ever after.” Some people see fairytales as antiquated ideologies that are not beneficial in the modern era.

They are, also, filled with pointed gender role ideals and gender stereotypes that are, today, ethically questionable. In the last few decades, there has been a literary movement of taking classic fairytales and attempting to update them and eliminate many stereotypes. This leads to ...

Times of uncertainty lead the public to seek both leadership and answers. They need answers, and ways to organize around issues of social significance which have created doubt, and indecision.

Worldviews The ultimate impact of the different worldviews on nursing practice is that they create some form of diversity in the ability for nurses to deliver on their expected health care services.

In most cases, nurses encounter a situation where the quality of services that they offer does not match the set of views presented by their patients, thus, creating the need for ...

Having a job is very important to many individuals, especially because of the difficult economic times that we are living in today. At the same time, though, another reason why getting an efficient job can be difficult, is because of the state of the economy as well.

In the face of modern science, researchers are facing a problem of the level to which the humanity of their approaches must extend. When it comes to solving ethical dilemmas, the vast majority of them tends to be concentrated on value placed on lives of humans as opposed to the value placed on lives of animals. There is a distinct separation between those who believe that animal drug testing should be banned, those who believe that it is often the main way of estimating the safety of drugs used, and those who choose to fall in-between and prefer finding ...

From this definition it follows that the demand for a particular commodity (service) depends on the price. This means that the increase in commodity prices will lead to a decrease in demand, and, conversely, a decrease in prices will lead to higher demand. The relationship between price and quantity demanded is stable. (Agarwal, 2013) The cause of the change in demand is change. This reverse causal relationship between price and quantity demanded is the law of demand. The law of demand manifests ...

The smartest person the author ever knew, a true scientist with PhDs in Physics and Mathematics, said something very profound once: “if it has ‘science’ in its title, it isn’t (Minnick).” This applies to the “dismal science” of economics. The problem with any social “science” is that it deals with human beings and using human beings in experiments is impossible. To be sure, actuaries can predict the actions of groups or demographic segments with a reasonable confidence. Individuals, however, are notoriously unpredictable. We are left, then, with observations which are converted into “laws.” Chief among these laws in ...

And they make the point that it is especially true in the case of kidneys. Live donors can survive perfectly well with one kidney. Such donations are becoming common, but usually among family ...
