The Indian Nationalist Movement and Gender RelationsIndia's nation-state is widely inhomogeneous throughout history between both male and female social status in society. In order to fathom the extent of gender inequalities, a chronological view over three distinct phases ensues. The Women's Movements; Nineteenth Century Social Reform Movement, Twentieth Century Freedom Movement and Women's Rights Movement in post 1975 period, have brought to the forefront a wide range of gender relations. The focused Nationalist Movement was a step forward for women through infinite policies, however it is evident that positive change can only be achieved through such practicalities. Within this essay the extent of change will be realized, yet limited to continued male empowering traditions. These traditions will be exemplified and contrasted to successes as a result of the movement, portraying whether the amount of change outweighs the continued inequalities in Modern India. To understand a change in gender relations, women's preliminary societal |

Captive Breeding of Florida PanthersThis first stakeholder, The Florida Panther Society, Inc. is an organization put together to spread awareness and bring attention to the Florida panthers, why they are extinct, current captive breeding, and ways we can actively help their population. This non-profit environmental education and support organization aims to provide protection and support for the panthers through educational programs and coordinated public support of the Florida recovery programs. This group has been involved with recovery and reintroduction of panthers into their historic range since 1994, as defined by the Florida Panther Recovery Plan. All of the society's information can be found at panthersociety.org. Currently the panther recovery program includes captive breeding but with the argument against continued captive breeding, The Florida Panther Society will not have a cause to support. It will directly impact their entire reason for organization and existence since they started to raise awareness and |

Revolutionizing Education and the InternetAs the Internet becomes more ubiquitous, its impacts are very much felt on the way we educate, and the way people receive education. The Internet has made free education more accessible than ever, and information more available. Although there are still areas that has been preserved and not affected by the Internet, I think that the Internet has revolutionized education drastically. Some argues that Internet has not done much to revolutionize education because what we are doing in schools now has not changed much since the Internet was created. Although we use the Internet as a tool to aid teaching, the bulk of education is still done in the traditional way: in classroom settings, with a teacher that physically interacts with his or her students. As we see in schools nowadays, although resources and homework can be given through online portals or platforms, lectures and lessons are still a mandatory and significant part of education. |

The Theoretical Basis for NursingThe single most important evaluation criterion that one may use to judge the nursing theory is reality convergence because it evaluates the theory in relation to health, human beings and nursing. Importantly, reality convergence evaluates whether to reject or accept the basic premises of the theory (McEwen & Wills, 2014). Indeed, a theory can appear to suddenly change direction significantly in relation to one or several aspects of a real life situation. A concise judgment of the current formulation of the theory helps improve a presumption. Consequently, critics consider or prefer to use reality convergence since it relates to the interpretation, principles and methods of the nursing theory. The paper argues that reality convergence is the best approach in judging nursing theory; it also discusses the importance of the concept in judging nursing theory. Firstly, it is difficult to |

Early Childhood and the Preschool YearsThe years from 2 to 6 are referred to as early childhoods or the preschool years. During early childhood, physical growth is slower than in infancy, and children become taller and leaner by the end of early childhood and they look more like adults than infants. Motor skills develop, children become stronger, faster and better coordinated. Preschoolers their language improves enormously and children come to carry on conversations with others, and cognitive skills develop, a new world of make believe or "pretend "play emerges. Most Preschooler is curious and eager to learn and increased physical and cognitive capabilities enable children to emerge from total dependence on caregivers to become part of the broader world outside the family. Peers take on increaslingy important role in the life of the preschooler (Rathus, 2011).The preschooler, the developmental picture, is frequently a risk taker, especially with large – muscle activities, is gaining the ability to consider |

Modern-Day Slavery and Human TraffickingSlavery is often considered an issue of the past, effectively wiped out in the United States with the end of the Civil War and a subject reserved solely for history books. Yet modern slavery is very real, with over 20 million cases of human trafficking and slavery existing worldwide. Slavery takes many forms, including forced prostitution, domestic indentured servant, and illegal child adoptions. Without new and different government involvement and an increased law enforcement presence, human trafficking and modern slavery will continue to flourish in the United States. In the United States, human trafficking is defined as "the recruitment, harboring, transportation, provision, or obtaining of a person for one of the following purposes: Labor or services, through the use of force, fraud, or coercion for the purpose of subjection to involuntary servitude, peonage, debt bondage, or slavery; or A commercial sex act through the use of force, fraud, or coercion; or If the person is u |

Working Partnerships in Health and Social CareAC 1.1 Explain partnership philosophies. Give specific examples of how these philosophies are demonstrated in various health and social care settings. According to Collins Dictionary, the definition for partnership is "a contractual relationship between two or more persons carrying on a joint business venture with a view to profit, each incurring liability for loses and the right to share in the profits". Defining attributes for partnership are mutual trust and respect. Working in team, the members share same goals, interests, commitments, they agree about reciprocity and empathy.

On Being MyselfOnce upon a time, a girl was born and she was the youngest in her family. Some wanted her name to be 'Siti Ramadhan' and some wanted her name to be 'Aisyah'. Well, the girl was grateful enough that her name 'Nur Aisyah' and not 'Siti Ramadhan'. After six years living in this world, her father died and she witnessed her mighty father collapsed before her eyes. They were on their way back home from her father's village when her father started to feel 'sick'. She still remember when her father told the mother "Take over the car when I start to tell you that I'm having headache," while the truth was she's the only one who heard it. After hours of drive, her father told them that he was having headache so he drove to nearby oil station and after half an hour, her father started the car and continued. A few minutes passed, her father told them that he was in pain so he pulled over the car by the road and paralyzed. Her mother pulled the hand-break to |

Major Depressive Disorder (MDD)Major depressive disorder or MDD, clinical depression which is a condition that has been known as the "common cold" of psychological disorders - an phrase that effectively describes its pervasiveness but not its seriousness. It is described to be an episodic disorder, meaning, it occurs in episodes that come and go. Major Depressive Disorder is most commonly influence ages 18 and 45, however, can begin in childhood or old age. Canadians experience major depressive disorder at some point throughout their lifetime, 12 percent of Canadian adults and 13 percent of U.S adults have experienced a depressive disorder. (2014, Myers, David G. "Disorders." Exploring Psychology. New York. 470-471.) However, less than half the people who experience these effects, are treated for medical and/or psychological help, and given an official diagnosis. Major depressive disorder occurs 5.8 percent of men and 9.5 percent of women, and is likely to develop into the second leading source of temporary disabil |

Students and Adderall AbuseAdderall is one of three drugs commonly prescribed to treat and control attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). This is a neurological disorder that similarly affects both adults and children. It seems, however, that far more people are being diagnosed with ADHD during the last decade. "Current estimates suggest that approximately 56% of youths aged 4 to 17 receive these medications for treatment of their ADHD" (Jardin, Looby, and Earleywine 373). Adderall, a stimulant, acts to primarily control impulses and distractions, but it also has many negative effects, one of which is sluggishness. It significantly increases the level of activity in the user's brain, further enhancing his or her ability to concentrate for extended periods of time. Today, medical practitioners regularly see students who report the inability to concentrate on their school work. Their hope is typically to manipulate their way into getting their hands on this "study drug". As a result o |

Comparison Essay - Frankenstein and Blade RunnerThe comparison of Mary Shelley's 1818 novel Frankenstein, and Ridley Scott's 1992 film, Blade Runner, facilitates the examination of transforming societal values and the human condition. The transition from early 19th century England when Romanticism was challenging aspects of the dominant Enlightenment discourse founded upon science and rationalism to late 20th century American, a period influenced by Reaganomics and rampant scientific development in cloning and technology reveals a shift in societal values. However, both texts explore similar aspects of humanity including humanity's pursuit of progress and power, questioning of the human identity and refusal to consider the morality of their actions, albeit in different paradigms. Thus, as texts are a reflection of their context and its values, it is evident that aspects of human nature remain constant irrespective of context. In Frankenstein, Shelley explores the transgression of the natural order in the Romantic ideal by humanity |

Overview of the Texas RevolutionThe Texas Revolution, what significance does it carry in shaping nowadays Lone Star state? Be it as it may, this historical subject in hand holds much controversy, can be seen in the opuses of many authors, and showcases many facets of a major bone of contention within the article. Within the lines of this paper, I shall include the works of a number of authors of and from whom I researched and got to know various sentiments regarding the Texas Revolution. Lots of time, dedication, and a lot of reasoning and analyses put forth by these authors. In spite of their varying thoughts and ideology touching on the Texas Revolution, they all share the sole concept of being zealous and attached to Texas. Hence, this leads to the asking of a salient question: What and who are the key points and players in this commemorated revolution? A plural of acknowledged critiques concerning this historical revolution comes in play. Nevertheless, it is best to comprehend key factors and characters in this r |

Notes on The Things They Carried1. The Things They Carried by Tim O' Brien, Pub.1990/paperback 2. The author's reason for writing the novel was that he wants the reader to experience Vietnam much like he did. As is apparent in pg.179 when he states "I want you to feel what I felt". That being said O' Brien does not want the reader to feel sympathy for him or his fellow comrades, he wants them see what real war is, dispel all the stereotypes and just let them experience at least a bit of what he and others thought and saw. O' Brien also writes the book for himself as he states in pg.158 "By telling stories, you objectify your own experience. You separate it from yourself". In the book he also states something along the lines of this not being therapy for the war, however I beg to differ as show in the quote that this book might also offer closure for O' Brien. By writing he looks over his "experiences" and "separates it from himself" looks at it objectively and it makes him feel |

Social and Economic Change of the 1920sThe 1920s was a period of great social change because of women – they felt freer and more independent, economics – there was economic prosperity and everyone was all for it, and technology – new home –life appliances and cars The changing of the role of women showed that the 1920s was a period of great social change. During this decade women were greatly changed. They had different rights, new attitudes and had started a new trend of fashion. This was the time of the "flapper". Women would throw away their corsets, shorten their hair – more of a masculine look, because they felt they were becoming more equal - and their skirts and dress in comfort. They also wore shoes with higher heels, with more of a dancing shoe shape. This allowed them more physical freedom, which led to women being much more active. Women reveled in the fact that they were definitely more independent and free. There was much more freedom for women. They had more rights. Men and women were living in |

The Significant Text of OthelloTexts which examine mankind's fallibilities often hold transcendental importance for readers. This statement applies to Shakespeare's tragedy 'Othello' which discusses human flaws such as the weakness of trust under influences of deception, the nature of pride to be replaced by irrational jealousy and how love is vulnerable to societal influences. Because of these messages, 'Othello' remains relevant to readers through time and age. Through Iago's foul play and deceptive conduct, Shakespeare demonstrates how duplicity fosters misplaced trust and subsequently abuses the innocent. Shakespeare reflects on the unsettling effects of the deception behind Elizabethan Era's Babington Plot, which aimed to bring Queen Mary to the throne by murdering Elizabeth I. Iago's paradoxical aside 'I am not what I am' immediately discloses his duplicitous nature yet the dramatic irony in Othello addressing him as 'Honest Iago' portrays how the antagonist's deception victimises Oth |

The Evolution of InfluenzaIn these days, "Virus", a familiar word to everyone, has been referred as a dangerous threat to all of us. A sneeze in the crowd could result in the death of hundreds people. That's probably not caused by some computer viruses, but the living one. Recently, I've done few investigations on this strain of virus, Influenza in particular, and the tendency of what it will become in future. Hence, what is brought in today is some brief views of this in-depth research about the evolution of influenza viruses. The study of viruses contains many intensively difficult concepts, but we will just have an overview of these contents. Firstly, It's the original characteristics of all Influenza viruses. Though there may be variants of virus causing flu, but they were originated from one strain, the "old H1N1". "Old H1N1" was the culprit causing millions of death in Europe during the early age of 20th century. The following statement is said by Jeffery Taubenberger, a viro |

Intercultural Business RelationshipsIntercultural Business Relationships Japanese business culture is quite deeply rooted in historical customs as well as traditionally exemplifying a high-context culture where-in "most of the meaning is either implied" (Lustic & Koester, 2010) or already known; "duty, loyalty, bravery, and proper etiquette are deemed most important" (Chu, 1992). Such being the Japanese business culture's inclination, the process of attempting to establish and maintain one's intercultural business associations is quite a delicate matter. American business culture on the other hand tends to be quite dynamic: changing to best fit current needs, and very low-context, valuing straight forwardness. Japanese business culture places a high value on the maintenance of business relationships, so much so that the Japanese "view relationship building with their suppliers as part of their daily responsibilities" (Lohtia, Bello, & Porter, 2009). While Americans do attribute significant m |

Religion in Colonial LiteratureEarly English colonists immigrated to America to escape religious persecution in England as well as to establish their version of a purified Christian state in the New World. Early American literature reflects the religious beliefs and ideals of those settlers. Of Plymouth Plantation by William Bradford, A Model of Christian Charity by John Winthrop, and The Wonders of the Invisible World by Cotton Mather demonstrate the beliefs, attitudes, and the common histories of the Pilgrims and the Puritans of that period. "Of Plymouth Plantation" by William Bradford Of Plymouth Plantation, widely recognized as an invaluably accurate account of early colonial history, documents the life and times of the Pilgrims, from their foundation in England, to their immigration to the New World, to their arrival on Plymouth Rock up through the ensuing years. In typical Puritan style, it details how religion played a major role in every aspect of Pilgrim life, from the foundation of the Plymouth |

Vaccines Should Not Be MandatoryToday, vaccinations are usually given not long after being born. The number of vaccines needed continue to rise due to new diseases found daily. Nothing is more devastating than having to lose a young child or newborn due to a disease or an adverse event. We will never get to see their full potential. Diseases kill children every year and we are not helping by allowing doctors to inject them along with other chemicals into their bloodstreams. Many of the diseases are bacteria that live and grow while its victim dies. Other diseases are caused by viruses that attack living cells along with their immune system. Children's immune systems are weak because they have not lived long enough to build immunities to so many infections. This makes children more capable of getting the disease. However, the main factors such as the number of vaccines, the amount of times, the order and age of administrations have not been examined in studies. Vaccines are not 100 percent effective and most states r |

Romantic Poets of the 19th CenturyThe World Is Too Much With Us by William Wordsworth basically encapsulates the definition of Romanticism in 19th century poetry as a result of Wordsworth adherence in the writing of this poem to most every aspect involved in the formation of that definition. Other famous poetry belonging to the same era also qualify as Romantic poetry based on the same definition, but none quite so fully as The World Is Too Much With Us. A comparison made between Crossing Brooklyn Ferry by Walt Whitman and The Lime-Tree Bower My Prison by Samuel Coleridge effectively demonstrates the validity of this assertion. Romantic Poetry in the 19th Century Romanticism in the 19th century came about as a result of circumstances peculiar to the era, such as changes in philosophy, religious dogma, and a rapid growth of industrialization in both England and America. Romantic poets belonging to that era challenged rationalism in areas such as religion, science, and philosophy. They promoted, as well as celebrated f |

Masters Program Letter of MotivationIt is with joy and excitement that I prepare this letter of motivation. I was born again and filled with the Holy Spirit in 1978 and deep within me was placed a burning desire to study the Word. I attended Bible Studies at my local church, but this did not satisfy my desire for a deeper knowledge of the Word of God. I truly believe that the Lord had His hand on me as a young child, as throughout my childhood, I used to pray and seek His face, but for the first 10 years of my life, my family followed the Jehovah's Witness religion. I did not know or understand who Jesus truly was. At the age of 17 I gave my life to the Lord and began attending church services. Sadly there was not sufficient teaching and training in the church I attended, and, not being grounded in the Word, my growth stumbled and eventually stopped altogether. This is why I understand the parable found in Luke 8:6, concerning the seed that fell on rocky ground, took root, but due to lack of moisture it soon wilted and died. During the brief time I attended this church, I |

Examples of the Strain TheoryThe strain theory assumes that individuals are pushed toward committing crimes due to the social structures that are in place; the class system, for example. These strains take two forms – structural, which occur at the societal level and affect individual perceptions, or individual, which is the discomfort experienced when trying to satisfy one's own needs. Robert Merton is one of many sociologists to use the strain theory to explain deviance. He believed that societal norms placed too much pressure on individuals to fulfill goals such as 'the American dream', in which case they were either forced to conform, or become a 'deviant' member of society. In many cases, however, these goals are unachievable. Using the example of the American dream, in order for every individual to achieve it, they must have access to many luxuries such as education, which is not always the case. When this occurs, the individual is faced with the Five Modes of Adaptation, which is explained in the following chart: Essentially, the individual can either accept or reject the norms of society. When members of society are unable to achieve the norms by acceptable means due |

Myth of the American DreamIn the beginning of the composing of the United States, America made many mistakes. As with any young country may have in its infancy, she masked her indiscretions behind virtues. The inconsistency, however, is found within her inhabitants. The African American citizens have faced an insurmountable paradox. Senator Barack Obama's A More Perfect Union begins with a quote from the most important document which has been a lynchpin of controversy since its origin. The rightful ownership of an entire race of people was rooted in this document. In the eyes of some citizens, the Constitution is an oxymoron. The reality in the American Dream contradicts its-self with the history of slavery, and the injustices with economics and inequality. One's race, social status, and even gender all determine the ability a person has to achieve this American Dream. One of the contradictions of the American Dream is the reality of slavery in the United States. African American citizens have endured the uneq |

Pseudo-Post Traumatic Stress DisorderThe Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have long documented the difficulties veterans face returning to the United States post deployment. The CDC has 18-studies of note varying from post service mortality to health communication and health risk (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2014). The CDC along with the Department of Defense and the Veterans Administration have joined together to further conduct research and implement services to assist with the acclimation of military personnel back to U.S. soil. Of these services, medical and psychological treatment is tantamount to stabilization. Many soldiers deployed close to areas of combat, or directly in the line of fire, return with symptoms of psychological distress and unexplained medical conditions requiring substantial services for stabilization. Steele, Sastre, Gerkovich, & Cook (2011) indicated in their study of Gulf War Illness that much of the information on medical and psychological distress is via self-re |

Cherokee Voices and European SettlersBefore Europeans began to settle what we call America. It was populated by people we called "Native Americans". Before Europeans came to America, the Native Americans Develop a diverse set of cultures that were dictated by their local environment. Meaning, natives would live of the land or habitat that they were surrounded by. Each environment is different, causing the different tribes to advance in many different ways. These diversities would create the many sects of cultures amongst the tribes. Cherokee voices opens takes a look at one specific tribe, the Cherokees and the book discusses how the arrival of the Europeans would affect their culture and way of life. The Cherokee voices opens with the arrival of Alexander Cumming. Alexander Cumming arrived in December 1729, at this point it is stated that, "no formal relationships existed between the Cherokees and the crowns of Europe." (pg.1) This meant that up to this point trade between Great Britain and the Native Americans was nearly impossible. The French tried trading with the Cherokee again, but had no luck in gaining |
