Introduction Native Son , set in the 1930s, tells of a twenty-year-old black male, Bigger, living in a period and place where there was rampant racism. When he starts working for a White man, things go downhill for him. He accidentally kills the daughter of his employer due to fear of being found in her bedroom by her mother. Later, he rapes and kills her girlfriend. He is eventually caught and sentenced to death. Racism in Native Son The popular media works to reinforce racism even more. Bigger watches a movie at the theatre showing the great life of wealthy White people. He is drawn to the whiteness and buys into the notion that their life is the best. In the popular media, especially film, Whites are often shown in an opulent world, while Blacks are often portrayed as savages, criminals, inferior, humble, and dangerous. These media images work to reinforce stereotypes in the minds of the people, who end up believing that this is the reality, yet these images are stereotypes. Bigger stays with his family in the South Side of Chicago. It is a congested and dirty neighborhood. The owner of the building, Mr. Dalton, does not rent houses to Black people in other locations. This causes the rent to go up due to the presence of many Black people in the area while the housing facilities are limited. He is portrayed as a hypocritical philanthropist who likes to give extorted money to charitable causes that involve Blacks. He is only doing it to assuage his guilt over oppressing the Black community. The racist environment and culture has affected Bigger so much that, when he is in the presence of the Daltons looking for work, he is intimidated by their lavish surroundings. Mrs. Dalton is blind, which is symbolic of society’s blindness to the devastating effects that racism and segregation are having on the black community. This is something that Marx keeps repeating in his address to the court in defense of Bigger. He argues that society and the oppressive environment led to Bigger’s actions. If society does not re
Introduction There are numerous problems in the world that continue to undermine all the benefits that the rapid social evolution and technological progress bring. One of the issues that should be addressed immediately by all governments is extreme inequality. Despite the successful implementation of a wide range of measures that helped fight such disparities in most Western societies, Latin American nations continue to struggle from a plethora of problems that are rooted in inequality. Nevertheless, recently some governments in the region have been particularly enthusiastic in developing new ingenious strategies to help the poor. I strongly believe that a dedicated analysis of such measures can ensure increased living standards in one of the world’s most diverse regions. The Global Importance of the Issue Why does fighting inequality in Latin America matter to the rest of the world? First, the region’s political life has been extremely turbulent for several decades. It means that some of the vital social institutions in various states are not efficient enough to ensure rapid and sustainable development. Such a situation leads to a wide range of social problems, including discrimination, drug trafficking, street crime, high levels of violence. All the above-mentioned troubles directly affect the well-being of millions of Americans. Drugs and illegal migration have been devasting various neighborhoods across the US. It is just one of the examples, as Europe and even some Asian countries also experience difficulties that are rooted in social issues in Latin America. What is more important, Latin American nations have high chances of successfully and quickly overcoming many of the above-mentioned challenges. Governments in the region are generally enthusiastic about developing and implementing new strategies, as political parties constantly face severe competition. Thus, just like in the 20 th century, numerous social experiments (this time, predominantly positive) can change societies there in a due manner. Latin American nations that manage to find the efficient means to enhance the living standards of millions of citizens will become role models for numerous developing countries that currently experience rapid population growth (most of them in Africa). Therefore, the ability of Latin American nations to overcome difficulties and get rid of numerous constraints will ensure the successful implementation of similarly efficient strategies in countries where billions of people live. The Core of the Problem Maybe the fact that few nations in the region are high-income economies is the cause of many issues? It can not be so, as there are numerous nations in the world that are not rich but do not struggle with such a wide range of social problems. Therefore, there must be something unique about Latin America that hinders its development and does not allow it to reach the level of prosperity and well-being of other Western societies. It is undoubtedly the extreme levels of inequality that deprives millions of people living in poor neighborhoods of access to high-quality education, medical services, and cheap credi
To begin with, it is necessary to state that any DRP (Disaster Recovery Plan) implies a specific documented procedure that is intended to protect particular IT services in situations that might adversely impact their infrastructures. This process of security maintenance requires the help of external third-party service providers to remain efficient. The following paper will identify the third-party service providers required for DRP and discuss their advantages with disadvantages. Third-Party Service Providers in DRP As there are only two major types of disasters (natural and man-made), the number of necessary service providers amounts to thousands. However, the most important and efficient ones will be discussed in this paragraph. The first position in this list belongs to various firefighting firms that also specialize in a set of other potential natural disasters common in a certain region (Erbschloe, 2003). Another necessary service that should be used by any profitable organization is technological security protection of its buildings or other materials it uses on a regular basis. There are many modern systems that detect any disasters and inform users about their prevention. The last position in the given list belongs to software that has to inform users about various cyber attacks. This factor is essentially important as it becomes more and more dangerous every year. Advantages of Third-Party Service Providers The advantages of involving the third-party services mentioned in the previous paragraph in effective recovery planning are the following:   * Being aware of all the possible disasters that might happen or that can be prevented in time. This factor is essential because it helps people understand the time limits they have to liquidate various dangers (Hwang et al., 2016).   * Knowing the type of potential disasters. When some unfortunate vents occur, their characteristics are reported to workers who can take appropriate actions based on this information.   * A decreased risk of being exposed to various consequences of all the possible disasters. The services mentioned above let people understand what actions should be taken to avoid serious negative outcomes. Requirements from Third-Party Service Providers If small, medium, and large organizations were considered in this paper’s context, the requirements from the third-party service providers would change significantly. For instance, the number of equipment required for a certain space would vary depending on its capacity. Also, some services need particular verifications from governmental structures that allow their usage (Wallace & Webber, 2018). Moreover, it would be proper to consider using other service providers for large organizations that can prevent disasters that might occur due to their specific professional activities. For instance, some factories are obliged to use services that are able to identify different technological mistakes that might lead to serious accidents. It would be prope
Dentistry is one of the most important branches in medicine. It deals with various mouth and maxilla diseases and studies their possible treatment, prevention, and diagnoses. Without any doubts, proper hygiene of the mouth and care about teeth are very important issues to consider. We communicate with different people day by day. It will be rather unpleasant if mouth hygiene will be terrible and communication may cause certain inconveniences and a kind of disgust for both sides. (Khosla 2006) This is why dentistry and oral hygiene are crucially important to be studied and analyzed. With the help of captivating and effective teaching methods, students and teachers may easily improve their skills, enlarge their knowledge, and provide their future client with better services. Everything starts with proper education; and I, as a teacher of a module on crown recementation and denture-relining procedures, clearly comprehend this truth and try to present only the best teaching for my students, using modern methods only. In this work, I will present several reliable methods of teaching in the field of dentistry, learning theories, and other concepts to improve medicine and underline the importance of oral hygiene. In order to present really effective teaching, it is crucially important to clear up the goals, define self-directed and cooperative learning, present proper classroom management, and, of course, understand students. (Borich, 2006) Without any doubts, one of the first steps, which should be taken at first, is professional identity. The sphere of my teaching is crown recementation and denture relining procedures. There are several types of cement that is possible for crown recementation, and each of them should be studied thoroughly in order not to make a mistake while cementing. (Phinney and Halstead 2003) Denture relining is also significant, when an already existed denture starts falling down or slipping. Such changes may happen due to several reasons: water retention, different kinds of infections, bone’s resorbing, etc. (Tyson, Yemm, & Scott 2007) This is why in order to get a clear understanding of the reasons why injures happen, it is better to concentrate on the symptoms, problems, and consequences. Almost the same happens in teaching about dentistry. Such way of research is also offered by Bennett, Peck, and Higgins. They suggest gathering enough information from and about students and identifying their possible problems in order to provide them with proper education. (Benneth, Peck, & Higgins 1996) It is quite possible that not every student can easily introduce his/her own standpoints bec
Abstract Effective communication is one of the most significant factors in nursing practices that maximize the overall productivity of the unit and reduce the number of medical errors. Bedside shift report (BSR) concerns the healthcare information exchange between the incoming and outgoing practitioners, frequently involving the participation of patients (Jividen, 2021). This data might include the observation findings, the new guidelines, documentation changes, etc. (Jividen, 2021). Regardless of the specific information, bedside shift reports are associated with improved patient care and enhanced communication among nurses (Jividen, 2021). Nevertheless, a large number of hospitals and medical facilities deny the implementation of bedside shift reports as an effective instrument of healthcare development (Jividen, 2021). Therefore, it is critical to increase awareness concerning the benefits of this method in the area of clinical practice. The current project demonstrates the efficiency of bedside shift reports by providing a transparent overview of existing literature and practicum experience. Goal Statement and Project Objectives The target population of the current paper includes healthcare specialists in various areas of medicine. Effective communication is the core component for most activities, whether it is highly skilled or labor-intensive occupations. A thorough analysis of nursing communication and bedside shift reports will reveal the necessity of emphasizing this focus area for improved patient care and reduction of medical errors. Therefore, the project objectives are the following:   * examine the primary principles, advantages, and disadvantages of bedside shift reporting in the existing literature;   * demonstrate the importance of effective communication in reducing the number of medical errors;   * generalize the efficiency of bedside shift reports in the healthcare community. Literature Review Consequently, it is essential to provide an evidence-based literature review to justify the scope of the project and emphasize the problem. A large amount of scientific research has focused on the issues of bedside shift reports and effective nursing communication to increase the overall awareness of the problem in the community. For instance, Dorvil (2018) has found that nurse bedside shift reports have been proved to be consistently useful by analyzing twenty-five articles from 2006 to 2016. The benefits include the improved patient experience, nurse satisfaction, sustainability, and even positive financial impact (Dorvil, 2018). However, the author also notes the necessity of a careful approach to the implementation process to avoid the associated risks. Small and Fitzpatrick (2017) present similar findings concerning both benefits and disadvantages of the method. The authors have surveyed the nurses from two medical units with a total number of 55 respondents (Small & Fitzpatrick, 2017). Most practitioners have noted that while bedside shift reporting is slightly more stressful than traditional communication frameworks, it also promotes patient safety and involvement (Small & Fitzpatrick, 2017). Therefore, there are certa
Abstract The paper is divided into two parts. The first part focuses on the case of mental health counselor scatterdesk. A significance of confidentiality is discussed. A possible way of how each of the professionals is supposed to act in order to avoid ethical and legal issues is displayed. An impact of the quality of interaction is determined. Moreover, the functions of each professional are introduced. Furthermore, the approaches to solving the problems are presented and evaluated. Finally, methods of measuring the effectiveness of communication are described. As for a second part, it is provided in a form of a referral letter to the psychologist. The primary objective is to refer Jessica Green to a doctor for psychological assessment. The background information and information about the current condition are provided. Moreover, after the assessment the results of the measurements are requested for the further evaluation to determine future actions. Mental Health Counselor Scatterdesk Firstly, it is important to discuss with the client with whom the information could be shared (Herlihy & Corey, 2015). Addressing the level of confidentiality of the information is vital, as it helps to avoid legal and ethical issues. In this case scenario, a counselor is able to contacts other counselors. Moreover, according to the moral and legal principles a counselor can share confidential information with the child therapist, psychologist, and social worker since they are the other prominent members of the team. However, it could be done only with the permission of the client (Herlihy & Corey, 2015). A quality of interaction will have a dramatic impact on the conclusion. As with the quality of information, higher volumes of data would be analyzed. This fact will allow the counselor to provide better solutions and answers to the student’s questions. Speaking of the functions, a child therapist could assess a physical and mental condition of the children and determine a fact of abuse. He has a right to report it to the counselor. Consequently, he plays a role of the transmitter of the information. In turn, a counselor has to know the principles of the law and can contact a legal advisor in order to avoid and fix ethical and legal issues (Remley & Herlihy, 2014). Psychologist plays a role of the indicator whether the client is able to act according to the universal principles. As for the social worker, she can prevent legal and ethical issues, as she has a legitimate power. One way to resolve the issues is to pay close attention whether all aspects are solved with the accordance with ACA Code of Ethics and laws (Remley & Herlihy, 2014
All living things were created in such a way, a unique one that they cannot live without food since they will starve off, be malnourished and finally kick off the bucket. One important aspect one should remember while talking about food is water. It is a very essential aspect when it comes to its consumption in the body of any living thing. With the lack of water in any diet, one becomes dehydrated and weak and can easily die. Tell me of anything as long as its living, which does not require food and water, since they are basic needs and I will show you many of which have starved to death due to lack of food and water. There is still need for discipline in the consumption of food in ones body because it can harm when it is abused. This paper, based on Meggan’s experience as a soccer player who trains almost daily, tends to point out the kind of food that needs to be consumed for the effective functioning of the body. Food entails the broad categories of carbohydrates, vitamins, proteins, fats not forgetting water. The intake of large amounts of carbohydrates was essential for Megan in the sense that they give power and energy to the muscles. The carbohydrates are further divided into complex and simple (Heintz, para. 3). Complex carbohydrates are broken up once consumed, taking a relatively long time, and they are essential in providing energy for endurance activities while the Simple carbohydrates are broken down quiet easily and within a short span of time. Since Megan was carrying out her exercises almost daily, she could not have reduced the intake of carbohydrates from 65% to 40% of calories. Research clearly shows that as long as one is exercising, his intake of carbohydrates should not be something to worry about since all are broken down and effectively absorbed by the body. This is one of the reasons she is being exhausted much quickly than before, when she was consuming relatively large amounts of calories. Therefore, an intake of large amounts of carbohydrates is recommended for quick energy bursts (English, para. 5). Sports like soccer mostly involve short periods of thorough exercise followed by recovery periods, which are done at times of rest. During the time of thorough exercise, the carbohydrates in the body are broken down to glycogen and as the exercise persists, the rate at which glycogen is absorbed and utili
Introduction Citizenship by Degree by Deondra Rose offers an examination of U.S. higher education in the modern era in the context of providing women with the opportunity for social mobility. In turn, the gender gap is narrowed as women can broadly participate in the labor market and play a larger role in the societal, economic, and political institutions of the country. Given the extensive and continuous gender gap in multiple sectors of the economy and overall leadership positions, Rose examines how U.S. higher education policy has succeeded and where improvement is needed to promote greater equality and political participation from the female population. Summary The first chapter focuses on the history and role of federal higher education policies in driving American women towards greater participation in education. With the push of feminism stemming in the 1970s, it became a critical turning point where gender equality was being recognized. Rose argues that national policies driven by the feminist movement such as the NDEA of 1958, HEA of 1965, and the well-known Title IV of the 1972 Educational Amendments allowed for greater access and participation of women in higher education (Rose 4). With aspects such as government provisions, the likes of financial aid and non-discrimination set higher education policy precedents the general approach to social policy of being broadly reaching and gender-neutral. As a result, the gender dynamics in the U.S. began to shift, with women actively entering the workforce, at times becoming primary earners in households, while also enjoying socioeconomic security and a higher standard of living. In Chapter 7, Rose explores how the above policies and social change began impacting the political spectrum, gradually narrowing the gender gap in politics and leadership, a role that for centuries in U.S. history was designated for men. Federal programs stimulating female higher education influenced political engagement at all levels, there promoting women’s political interests and efficacy. By achieving greater representation, the U.S. is on the way to realizing a promise of equal and full citizenship for women and greater social equity. Rose explores the complex interaction between targeted social policy in one sector, influencing equality and political citizenship across national divides. Critical Discussion Overall, the book presents a strong analysis of history, policy, social attitudes, and numerical data. Rose is able to coherently draw a connection between the feminist movement and shifting attitudes in the country which resulted in subsequent federal higher education policy. In turn, this stemmed from both data-driven representation of the narrowing gender gap in education, labor force, and politics, as well as the general social status quo of perception. She examines key pieces of education policy, including its history, purpose, and impact. The author’s method of analysis and argumentatio
The main contribution of Apply to the world of personal computing has been in its capacity of developing both the aesthetic as well as functional capacity of personal computing devices. What you have to understand is that products such as the iPhone and the tablet PC were not created exclusively by Apple. Their overall design, usability and unique functionality were all based off previous iterations of said devices by companies such as Microsoft who had developed the first tablet PC and Sony Ericsson that had created the first touch screen based mobile phone (Apple Inc. SWOT Analysis, 1-9). By introducing greater aesthetic qualities (i.e. the sleek and modern look and feel of many of today’s Apple products), making the devices more user friendly (i.e. the simplified touch screen based method of interaction of the iPhone and iPad) and ensuring a far greater degree of increased functionality through user introduced programs (i.e. the development of the Apple App Store) Apple has forever changed the “face” of the personal computing industry by increasing consumer demand for aesthetically pleasing products whose internal functionality can be customized based on a user’s preference without the process being overly complicated (Apple Inc. SWOT Analysis, 1-9). In examining the case of Microsoft’s contributions to the personal computing industry, what must first be noted is the sheer proliferation of the Window’s operating system in many of today’s personal computing devices. The reason behind this is due to the fact that Microsoft was in effect able to develop a software infrastructure that was not only easier and more convenient for
