The United States of America and Canada were British colonies that achieved independence from their rulers in strikingly divergent ways. This difference is attributable to differing histories and circumstances that were faced by the colonies in those times as also the perceptions and dispositions of the people of the American and the Canadian colonies. The effects of those divergent methods and perceptions lingered on for some time to come even after both colonies achieved Independence, coloring their relations with Great Britain and bringing in change in their political organizations. This essay aims to compare and contrast the American and Canadian Wars of Independence and their subsequent relations with Great Britain in the Post Independence Era. The essay will limit the period of scrutiny up to the start of the First World War. America’s Geography has always been considered as an advantage by its people. Separated from Europe and Asia, the continent remained in splendid isolation cut off from European influence till the intrepid British arrived on board the ‘Mayflower’ in Provincetown, Massachusetts on 21 November 1620 A.D. These early settlers were actually religious refugees fleeing religious persecution in Europe. They were people who disliked the rank corruption of the Catholic Church and had joined the Protestant ranks to reform the Church. While the British colonized America, the French colonized Canada. On arrival, the colonizers in America had a hard life. The area was thickly forested, the terrain difficult and the native American Indians none too friendly. The harshness of their conditions inculcated in the settlers an indomitable spirit to succeed which colored their approach to religion as well as what sort of political system to follow. John Winthrop, their leader established the Massachusetts Bay Colony later named Boston to set up a Christian Utopia with each congregation having its own elected priest and its own covenant with God. Geographical separation from the parent country also allowed a certain freedom of thought and action, which was difficult for England to counter as was clearly brought out by Edmund Burke in his statement to the British Parliament that “the people are Protestants, and of that kind which is the most adverse to all implicit submission of mind and opinion” (Kopel 1). This fierce independent nature brought the American colonies directly in conflict with their colonial masters in London. The Canadians, on the other hand, were a more mixed lot with distinctive groupings of French, English-speaking settlers, and indigenous people. Their practice of religion was not as fiercely independent as that was founded in the American colonies. Before 1763, Britain and France had almost equal power and the British government in London dared not to move against their restive American colonies because they feared that French support to the American colonies might be difficult to counter leading to the independence of the colonies. However, France was defeated by Britain in the Seven Year War leading to Britain acquiring “Canada and all of the
Virginia Commonwealth University health system The Virginia Commonwealth University’s health system is an academic medical center located within central Virginia. The institution offers very advanced treatments and various technologies present in today’s world (Crillo, 2011). The health system is a service organization. This paper will discuss some characteristics and criteria pertaining to the organization. Characteristics The health system is intangible. Virginia Commonwealth University’s health system is a service organization and therefore its role is to give intangible services to its clients. People get treatment, medical advice, check ups and other services that cannot be quantified, touched or seen. They provide services that one cannot hold or even examine before hand. As a service organization, customers cannot examine or assess the services they will receive before they present themselves for treatment (Olsen, Dara and McGinnis 34). Non-standardized: The health care system has various sections depending on the type of services or treatment they offer. It has more than 150 specialty areas through which it offers all types of medical services. This requires that the different employees in all these sections act in a different way from each other since their jobs require them to act differently at different times. Standardization would mean that all the employees follow a particular pattern of action in their duties. However this does not happen given the nature of the health care system (Cirillo, 2011). It has simultaneous production and consumption because the production of the medical services and their consumption occurs at the same time. The
Social work entails service to the community and effectively responding to the needs of the society at large, especially their basic needs such as education, shelter, and food among others. I would like to pursue a degree in social work at this because I am in a position to accommodate the strict nature of the study being fresh from school, young and energetic at the moment. Furthermore, there is an increased need for social workers in contemporary society due to the increased social work awareness around the globe. Moreover, the degree is accepted and recognized in most social work vacancies as compared to diploma and other lower-level tertiary education level qualifications and hence will increase my chances of getting employed as a senior social worker and more attractive to various social work positions in the job market. I am greatly interested in serving society as a social worker, but major in a family-focused practice with Latinos and community practice concentration. Charity begins at home; therefore, being a Latino American, I have to begin with my community serving as a social worker because I understand the community has grown in the Latino society. Generally, I am interested in a family-focused practice because family is the core of society and the single basic unit hence forming the basis of societal service. Furthermore, I am also interested in community practice because family-focused practice coupled with community practice forms the core of social work. After all, social work entails service to the community which comprises several families. Therefore, I am interested I specializing in families and communities being the target group in social work. I am interested in obtaining a graduate master’s degree in science, major social work from the University of Texas-Pan American not only as my profession but also as my area of interest and concern. Furthermore, there are several career objectives and goals that I have in place after graduating as a social work professional from the university, for instance, emerging as one of the role models in social work globally. I would like to dedicate my life and time to communal work and act as an example and role model to aspiring social workers. I hope to achieve this by advocating for the family and community service and ensuring that families and communities at large access essential services hence live comfortably. Moreover, the master’s degree in social work will enable me to expand my knowledge in social work and hence effectively work towards well being of society at large. I have applied to undertake my degree course in social work at the University of Texas-Pan American due to several reasons, for instance, credibility. The University of Texas-Pan American is one of the credible social work institutions that provide a quality
Introduction Nursing has always contributed to the development and improvement of medicine, as some distinguished professionals have brought new and valuable ideas to the field. One such nurse was Florence Nightingale, who devoted herself to the study of war wounds and sacrifice. As a result of her extended analysis of military brutality, the nurse developed her statistics system, which later became widely used in hospitals. Nightingale’s Biography First of all, it is necessary to begin with an analysis of the nurse herself and her biography. Florence Nightingale was born in 1820 and dedicated herself to nursing. Later, during the Crimean War, Florence began to develop the idea of incorporating social statistics into the medical service because she believed it could make it much easier for doctors to research casualties and injuries. She propagandized that the business of nurses is to save the wounded not only physically but also spiritually, for example, to care for their leisure time, organize reading rooms, and help establish correspondence with relatives (Nightingale, 2020). Florence Nightingale defined nursing as the maintenance of a person in such a condition that disease does not occur (Nightingale, 2020). In contrast, the care of the sick is helping the sick live a fuller and more satisfying life. Nightingale expressed a firm conviction that nursing as a profession is essentially distinct from the medical work and requires exceptional knowledge specific from that of physicians (Nightingale, 2020). In addition, Nightingale was a direct participant in the war, where she showed her professionalism and fearlessness. Nightingale’s Ideas and Innovations As a result of her wartime activities, the nurse was inspired by the study of war sacrifice to show the inhumanity of war. Nightingale introduced pie charts to count deaths in the Crimean War and later distributed them to politicians (Kim & Mallory & Valerio, 2020). Above all, this idea was to unify the statistics collected by hospitals, such as the number of patients admitted to hospitals, the number who were cured, who were discharged as incurable, and the average time spent in the hospital (Kim & Mallory & Valerio, 2020). The effectiveness of this approach led to health care reform, the primary purpose of which was to actively introduce charts and statistics into medicine to obtain more reliable data. In addition to the idea of statistical data, Nightingale ensured that hospitals were equipped with ventilation and sanitation systems and that hospital staff were mandatorily trained. The Impact of Florence Nightingale’s Activity Nightingale’s ideas gained widespread popularity in the nursing profession. Firstly, the reforms made it easier for nurses to gather and process the information needed to deal with actual illnesses and injuries (McDonald & PhD & LLD, 2017). Secondly, Nightingale’s enthusiasm and steadfastness encouraged many professionals to work for an idea rather than for profit, as seen in the nurse’s a
A description of the fire When speaking about the Charleston Sofa Superstore Tragedy, I would like to consider some basic aspects of the event, which occurred. So, first of all, it should be pointed out that the meaning of building and fire code enforcement is considered to be really great; however, illegal building additions require much more attention, as the outcome of the fire depended upon them. The tragic event took place on June 18, 2007. When fire crews “made entry into the building through the showroom, they initially found it to be clear. The crew around the back side of the building noticed that the fire was in the loading dock area and was threatening the showroom” (Sypen 6). Generally, one is to keep in mind that the problems appeared, because it was too hard to establish a water source. When speaking about the key issues, which are related to the Sofa Super Store Fire, it is necessary to point out that on the one hand, the fire risk factors surpassed the allowable limits; on the other one, the area was a large property, so, the so-called potential for the fire was rather significant. The area of fire origin They say that the fire originated outside the loading dock. The smoking materials were placed there. According to the City of Charleston Post Incident Assessment and Review Team “a fire at this location could quickly spread to the loading dock via the crawl space under the wooden deck or through gaps between the sheet metal wall panels and the front of the deck” (84). On the other hand, one is to keep in mind that there is also another assumption, according to which “the fire could also enter the loading dock through a large ventilation fan opening or through gaps around the sliding doors” (84). A description of how and where the fire spread According to the analysis, which was held in order to establish the areas of the fire extension, there is a need to point out that from the loading dock the fire was extended into the separate areas of the building. Thus, these areas included the holding room, the interstitial void space, the west showroom, and the warehouse. An overview of fire control activities When speaking about fire fighting tactics, one is to keep in mind that the most important reasons of failure were inaccessibility of vertical ventilation, the sides of the loading dock, and inappropriate hose lines for the area. On the other hand, the fact that the command officers were unfamiliar with the building should also be taken into considerati
Introduction Education, the framework of presentation, and the teachers are all key parts in presenting the knowledge to students. It is instrumental that learning opportunities are within the reach of people and the information is made clear and available to those who want to acquire knowledge. The field of history-social science relates to society, economics, and politics. History is the knowledge that humans collectively possess and can use to their own advantage. Unfortunately, people seem to ignore the past and strive to reach the future in the fastest way, forgetting the learned lessons and attention to detail. The curriculum sets out specific targets in the learning process. More specifically, it will focus on the chronology of history through geographical details and the interdependence of causes and effects (“History-Social Science Framework for California Public Schools” 4). Also, it will unite the social factors and the historical context by presenting arts, sciences, and culture studies. The presentation is another significant feature and it becomes significant to people learning the information and retaining it for future use. General overview The human brain and language, as well as the ability to write, have given a unique chance to record a lot of things that take place. History is important in understanding humanity and the development of civilizations, as it is possible to trace the evolution of human thought and understanding. It is also interesting to compare ancient times to the way life is today. From ancient texts, it can be seen that the economy was much different and people’s thoughts and actions had different standards. There are many things that shape history and human understanding, biology and economics are only a few of many. Social sciences are laid out through historical teachings, offering techniques that can be used by the younger population. The geographical location of a certain nation, the culture, and religion, as
In the wake of globalization and increased changes in the worldwide political environment, the need to bridge institutions to satisfy some demands while disregarding others has become inevitable. Understanding of organizational reactions to institutional convolutedness is integral to institutional theory. For this reason, organizations have been forced to react strategically to increasingly conflicting demands arising from their complex institutional environments. Snowballing political concerns amongst science policy societies have resulted in the enrichment of technology transfer and bridging between learning and industry. This strategic move underpins pluralistic political science, which promotes policymaking. Primarily, the bridging of institutions is aimed at ensuring sustainable social, political, and economic development. As a result, both academic and business institutions have developed various strategies to address sustainability challenges. Most of these strategies focus on creating hybrid systems that integrate institutional logics into the development of organizations. This essay explains the logic of bridging institutions and their significance in establishing sustainable hybrid organizations. Conflicting Institutional Demands Conflicting institutional demands arise from continued tension between advocacy and conformity to policies. Businesses and organizations are faced with changing demands from institutions such as investors and supervisory bodies. Pache and Santos reveal that these institutions provide the guiding principles within which organizations work (455). Besides, they bear significant control over organizational resources. Thus, their demands should be taken into consideration while planning socio-economic development. Globalization has resulted in increased conflicting demands as organizations strive to address local, regional, and internal institutional demands in the field of academics and industry. This state of affairs has further led to the development of institutions that are more specialized in hybrid business strategies (Pache and Santos 456). The success of an organization is significantly determined by the handling of both internal and external institutional environments. For instance, in microcredit organizations, stakeholders occasionally disagree on various approaches to p
One could hardly deny the overwhelming role Information Technology plays in the modern world. The blistering rise of digital devices, as well as the software needed to support their spread, resulted in the reconsideration of the majority of approaches used in different spheres of human activity. Their implementation into the functioning of any organization is expected to increase its efficiency and improve outcomes significantly. For this reason, it is not surprising that IT became one of the most powerful tools used in the sphere of business to acquire a significant competitive advantage and enhance different processes trying to attain better results. There are numerous examples when modern companies manage to stimulate their blistering rise by exploring IT, and Walmart is one of them. In general, the given brand could be described as the embodiment of the innovations usage and new technologies in the sphere of retailing. The company was founded as one among many other firms that observed the tendency towards the increase in peoples demand for products and other goods and wanted to become prosperous due to the expected high incomes. However, unlike its rivals, Walmart managed to obtain a significant competitive advantage by cultivating the evolution of IT sector and its exploration for different purposes. For instance, at the moment the company uses IT to exchange information between its departments situated in different states across the USA and create the efficient model that will take into account the main consumers needs and provide all products and goods needed to satisfy them (Dudovskiy). The wide implementation of IT into the companys functioning could also be investigated in terms of its competitive strategy that is used at the moment. Trying to guarantee the preservation of its leading position and preserve the level of customers interest at the same level, Walmart adheres to the low-cost leadership strategy that might guarantee numerous advantages. First of all, the cost of all operations is reduced because of the usage of IT to attain improved efficiency along with low costly characteristics. Besides, being able to introduce the pattern that presupposes significant savings, Walmart is able to spend additional costs to make its competitive advantage even stronger by suggesting the lower price for some products or other services (Nash). The given strategy could be considered rather beneficial because of several important factors. First of all, the company is able to preserve its target audience by comparatively stable prices that come from the enhanced efficiency of different operations crucial for its further rise and functioning. Moreover, the strategy promotes the exploration of IT an
Hippie the hipaffarmorprich was an art lover who enjoyed travelling around the world enjoying art. At the Louvre art gallery, in Paris there were hundreds of artworks to enjoy. Together with is friend Bud the Budgiefiduck, he took a photo next to the Mona Lisa… …the painting of the orphan girl at the cemetery… …and the painting of the old man and his grandson. He later travelled to Africa, in a country called Kenya. He found the majestic statue of Mzee Jomo Kenyatta. He was the first president of the country. He also found the statue of Dedan Kimathi, who was well-known freedom fighter…. In Kenya, he made a new friend, Crog, the Crogirdant, who helped him find the bronze statue of Tom Mboya, a great leader of the country. Back at the home he his friend Pepe, the Peacaneeptus about beautiful paintings at the Louvre and the strong statues in Africa. He said that the Louvre had many beautiful paintings, including the Mona-Lisa, the painting of the Old Old man and and his Grand-son and the painting of the Orphan girl at the Cemetery. Pepe learnt that in Kenya, there are three large statues, one of the former president, one of a former freedom fighter and one of a great leader. Photo Sources Delacroix, E. (1824).

The primary difference between first-degree and second-degree murder is the intention behind the action. The former generally refers to a premeditated killing with thorough planning and complete comprehension of the murder (Findlaw, 2020). Therefore, this type of crime is associated with harsher penalties, and the perpetrators are frequently conducted to lifetime imprisonment. On the other hand, second-degree murder is usually unplanned. Evidently, the crime is still intentional due to the nature of killing; however, in most cases, the perpetrator does not have the intention before the murder (Findlaw, 2020). In other words, second-degree murders generally occur in the ‘heat of passion’ during intense arguments or quarrels. Consequently, such crimes are associated with softer penalties, and the perpetrators are charged with ten-year-long imprisonments. Lastly, the definitions of these two murder types differ slightly across the states and also have various consequences. Concerning the scenario, the current case is complicated by the ambiguity of the ‘planned’ aspect. At first, the situation resembles the canonical second-degree murder in a heated argument over divorce. In most similar cases, the killings lack premeditation, and the perpetrator is driven by strong emotions rather than intentional planning. However, in the current scenario, Jane deliberately tricks Dick by ensuring him that she wants to continue the dialogue after a short break. Instead, she gets a gun and kills her husband by shooting him four times. Therefore, while it might seem like a ‘heat of passion’ crime at first, it is a deliberate murder with a cooling-off period for Jane. Thus, the killing is planned and calculated, excluding the possibility of a ‘heat of passion’ component. Overall, Jane should be charged with a first-degree murder.
