In the poem “the dead woman” by Pablo Neruda, the subject, states of his feeling of wanting to go back to where his loved one is lying without life, but he also clearly states that he wants to move forward. This statement can be used to mean that the author is resistant to change. Besides, he subconsciously knows that he has to keep moving forward (Neruda and Donald, 21). This situation is experienced by everyone at one point in life when they reflect on simpler Yester years but know that the future is coming. In the poem, the subject goes back and forth trying to relate his loss to other world occurrences in his time as he desperately tries to prove to himself why he should keep on living. There is a sense of hopelessness in the subject’s tone. He was always referring to negative outcomes like going to jail with his brothers. Apparently, during his time the beating of blacks was a common occurrence. Though this is racism, he should not be judged harshly for it was the norm at that time. The subject, also, in this poem displays male egotism. He clearly shows it when he refuses to write about his feelings towards the loss of his loved one. In fact, it is an unwritten law that a male should never let out his feelings. The author goes ahead to confirm this by choosing to speak only to a fellow hurting man but not to a wide audience which books tend to represent. The subject is a loving person and the loved one that he has lost was deeply dear to him. He shows this by his use of strong words denoting immense pain over the loss in the last stanza of the poem. He acknowledges that he will weep and experience a deep sense of loss for losing someone in his life. Despite all this, he will have to move forward. The subject shows a strong will to move forward. Although it is hard, he knows he has no alternative. He also admits that he will be grieving for several days because the loved one was dear to him and the loss is heavy to bear. The subject is also a racist since he thinks that as long as punishing of blacks is happening somewhere he cannot die. This statement entails his negative attitude towards Africans and their descendants in several places around the world. This statement can also be used to infer that he is from a country where slave trade was common and a source of livelihood. The subject is an optimist since he is expecting to have victory. It is known when fighting the outcome is either a win or a loss, but none has a greater possibility of occurrence than the other. The only time this statement is wrong is when there is an enormous disparity in the fighting prowess of one party to another although, this also is a rare occurrence. The subject show devotion to his brothers for he is ready to go to prison with them to defend what they stood for as brothers. The greatest test of devotion is volunteering to get the same punishment as the person that one gives devotion. Together with this, the subject is philosophical for he knows that a tim
Introduction Up to what extent must a person do in order to satisfy his or her needs or desires? Until where should a person go in order to achieve his goals? What does he become once he achieves what he wants in life? To a writer for example, the ultimate goal is to become a better thinker because writing helps explore and analyze new experiences. To a scientist, the ultimate goal is to help make the world a better place through discovery, inventions and technology. To a business tycoon with a ruthless mind, however, the goal is quite different: to become powerful, wealthy, rich, whatever the consequences. To this business tycoon, in Paul Thomas Anderson’s film, “There will be blood,” his efforts evidently turned him into a powerful oil tycoon. Literally, no one can get in the way. Literally, he’ll do whatever it takes to take away the unfufillment that he feels deep inside. The film “There Will Be Blood” is about a turn of the 20 th century oil prospector, Daniel Plainview, who exploits local landowners of an oil rich area in Isabela County in California. Through Plainview’s actions and relationships with others, one can analyze his real intentions. Daniel Plainview in “There Will Be Blood” represents the human mind’s constant struggle for self satisfaction through the attainment of power in order to satiate the never-ending sensation of unfulfillment. This unfulfillment Plainview struggles with represents the human defects of insecurity and pride. The need to be constantly satisfied with himself is shown through his great effort for authority, reputation, and worthiness. Yet, despite his labors, the fulfilling sensation Plainview strives for is never reached as seen through his destructive demise. The film portrays through the anti-hero, Plainview, human desire for selfish accumulation of wealth, power and prestige in order to fill up one’s personal unappeasable bin of merit. Critical Analysis of the Movie Impressive is the fact that Anderson managed to show the detail description of American oil business at the initial stages of its development. The realization of the entire oil ocean by Plainview is observed due to the details of technical drilling aspects and perfect entrepreneurship activities. The atmosphere of oil companies’ development and the feeling of big money power stimulated the protagonist for numerous uncontrolled and unpredicted
Introduction The study compared anthropometric methods among individuals from industrialized countries and developing countries. It assessed body size in terms of weight, height, and waist girth. It attempted to determine trends in body fat distribution among the two groups from Industrialized and developing countries. It undertook tests on lipid profiles guided by increasing risk to blood pressure. It assessed nutritional implications by gender and socio-economic groups. An increase in body fat over time was associated with decreased physical activity and fitness. On the other hand, an examination of waist cycling is associated with cardiovascular risk than muscle gain. The investigation has used standardized anthropometric methods to provide data on how physical size and structure were connected to the risk of developing coronary heart disease and hypertension diseases. Commonly used standard measurements methods fo
Introduction Humanistic-existential psychology analyzes people’s integrity, taking into account their development and self-realization. Every individual is an active and creative being; therefore, detailed case analysis is more reliable than statistical generalizations. There are two therapeutic approaches within the context of the humanistic-existential framework: Gestalt and logotherapy. Each of them has fundamental principles and methods; the paper aims to compare these methods. Even though they are classified as one direction in psychotherapy, Gestalt therapy is preferable to logotherapy. Therefore, it is also necessary to determine their strengths and limitations, considering their impact on people’s lives, mental traumas, and benefits for practitioners. Overview Logotherapy is a therapeutic approach based on an existential analysis and the assumption that the principal motivational force of a person is meaning in life. The Austrian psychiatrist, psychologist, and neurologist Viktor Frankl was the founder of logotherapy, which appeared in the middle of the 20th century (Costello, 2019). This approach combines three concepts: the freedom of will, the will to meaning, and the purpose of life (Shantall, 2020). The freedom of will means that inherent inclinations do not define the personality (Shantall, 2020). Frankl argues that people have a self-determining part in creating their lives. The second tenet is the will to meaning, described by the need to find a purpose for a person’s life (Costello, 2019). Logotherapy analyzes the existential vacuum, which can be psychologically damaging if a person’s search for meaning is obstructed (Frankl, 2014). The third principle is the meaning of life, referring to the significance of existence in general. Maturity and personal development mainly depend on the third tenet. Thus, logotherapy is practiced to treat anxiety, depression, neurosis, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Gestalt therapy is also considered one of the modern trends in psychotherapy. The German psychiatrist Fritz Perls coined the term “Gestalt therapy” in the late 1940s (Mann, 2020). Mann (2020) defines Gestalt therapy as a relational therapy that synthesizes three ‘pillars of gestalt’ (4). The first is field theory; an individual’s experience is examined in the scope of current situations (Mann, 2020). Next, it involves phenomenology, when the search is conducted through obvious and revealed factors instead of the facts interpreted by the observer (Mann, 2020). The third principle is dialogue; this form of communication helps analyze the relationships’ from the perspective of an individual (Mann, 2020). This approach is widely used in psychological counseling, individual and family therapy, and business consulting. Basic Principles and Practice Gestalt Therapy The principle of the Gestalt approach is concentrating on the current situations and emotions. By considering the concept of here and now, the
Introduction There are a number of significant economic ideologies currently practiced by governments all over the world. Obviously, the most popular ideology is capitalism, which is characterized by private ownership of property and the means of production and each individual is responsible for their own lives. Socialism is another significant ideology that promises to transform government systems and create a world where fairness and prosperity for all is guaranteed. In spite of its inspiring promises, socialism continues to be viewed with suspicion by many governments and citizens who express doubts about its ability to work. This paper will argue that socialism could work with significant benefits for the entire society. Socialism: A Definition Ludwig (2009) defines Socialism as “a policy which aims at constructing a society in which the means of production are socialized” (p.20). Socialism advocates for the abolition of the private-enterprise economy favoured by capitalism and the establishment of a system where public ownership maintains a dominant position in the economy. Why Socialism can Work Socialism will lead to a more sustainable community characterized by low poverty rates. High government involvement and a huge welfare system will lead to greater distribution of wealth among the citizenry. Citizens of many developed nations are beginning to acknowledge that the capitalistic system is unsustainable. Problems such as starvation and homelessness are being experienced by the richest countries in the world due to a lack of emphasis on social services. Socialism is characterized by an emphasis on provision of social services by the government. Galbraith and Ludmila (2004) document that this crucial services decrease the mortality rate and increase the standards of living for the citizens. In a socialistic society, the government in exchange for high taxation guarantees pension, housing, and healthcare. Norway, a country that leans to socialism, enjoys very low poverty rates and unemployment rates compared to countries that are primarily capitalistic such as the US. Socialism can work in the current environment where poverty levels are rising and unemployment rates are increasi
Introduction Discrimination all over the world has definitely become one of the hottest issues discussed by various authorities. Discrimination whether it is based on race, religion or any other, is magnified and has continuously taken the centre stage as globalization speedily continues to engulf the world. Through globalization labor shifts have been made possible as people cross borders in such for better living. One of the favorite destinations for most people has been the US. In an article posted in the New York Times, Steven Greenhouse examines how the Muslims are subjected to discrimination due to their Islamic affiliation. This essay is a short summary of this article posted in the New York Times and also contains personal opinions of the implications of such discrimination to the human resource heads. Article Summary Generally, the article by Steven Greenhouse is an account of various discriminative actions directed to towards the Muslims, citizens and immigrants, working in the US. The article predominantly examines the discriminative action with respect to the work places. This discrimination, as covered in this article, starts as early as at the recruitment process, whereby persons wearing hijabs, a Muslim outfit worn to cover the head, are classified as not having a company look. It is interesting that this takes place even when the recruitment officers are full aware that discrimination in the basis of faith is wrong. The article also brings out the trend of discrimination in the US. According to this article, discrimination against the Muslims is on the rise. The numbers of reports which have been filed seeking justice against discrimination based on the Muslim religion are ever increasing. The EEOC has continually received reports of immigrants as well as citizens who are discriminated against due to their religious affiliation of being Muslims. It is str
Art as a whole and single entity is difficult to define. Many refer to art as an expression of one’s creativity, what is produced as a product of skill and imagination. Art has over the ages evolved to different forms of expression. History has been marked by many different events in art. Art has over the years influenced history in many ways. It is on this background that art continues to influence the environment around as well as the future. The Renaissance Renaissance is the rebirth of something, to be bringing out the old in a whole new way. Renaissance was characterised as the period between the 14 th and the 16 th centuries. This period marked major changes in the world of art (Witcombe, 2011, 2). This period brought a lot of changes to artist such as sculptors, architects as well as painters. These forms of art that is sculpting, painting as well as architecture began to emerge unlike before where they were simply regarded as artisans or apprentices (Witcombe, 2011, 3). It is commonly referred to as art of the middle ages, it is believed to have been a revolution having began in Italy (Annenberg, 2011, 3). Renaissance art was influenced by Italian painters, sculptors as well as architects. During the renaissance period, artists are said to have experimented with diverse many forms of art, mixing complex as well as simple ideas of expression. It is with this freedom of expression and an urge to experiment that led to the development of baroque art. Baroque Art Baroque art has been referred to as the form of art that utilises a lot of ornamentation to create a dramatic effect. It is a period and style that used exaggerated motion and contrast that when interpreted in detail leads to a dramatic effect (Pioch, 2002, 1). This was a style that was largely popularised by the Catholic Church in Rome and spread rapidly through Europe (Annenberg, 2011, 7).Baroque art is commonly referred to as the art of the seventieth century. As a style, it represents dynamism in transformation as well as continuity of the ideas that the renaissance represents. Baroque art utilises several varied and different ornaments to create a dramatic motion effect. During the renaissance art and science are said t be connected and the two are used to complement each other. Two great artists in the Baroque art include, Caravaggio and Annibale Carracicci who brought a new dime
Abstract The arson investigation takes place in a rundown area. The original findings are some patterns of accelerants, which led to classifying the accident as an arson, and two dead bodies found in the basement of the tenement. The investigator, who becomes in charge of the case, has to start with answering several issues: what are the first steps to make without damaging evidence; who should be brought in immediately; where to look for the owner of the property. Only the systematic approach will help to solve the major problems: the cause of the fire and the cause of death. At the moment of the initiation of the investigation, it remains unknown whether it was a homicide or an accident, and only the traces of accelerants can be used as a basis for making conclusions. Keywords: arson, homicide, investigation, legal foundation. Legal Foundation of Arson Investigations Determining the circumstances and the cause of arson requires a complex investigation and a systematic approach. The primary goal is to make an objective investigation that will lead to the truth, so every piece of evidence must be considered. It is impossible without the right order of actions from investigators. Hence, the appropriate initiation is necessary to reach the objective. According to Suboch (2016), the crime scene investigation consists of “the documentation, development, collection, and preservation of physical evidence at the scene” (p. 3). However, first of all, the investigator should consider having a warrant to avoid complications. Although arson homicides allow for a warrantless crime scene search in most jurisdictions, it is better to make sure that an administrative search warrant or consent is secured or granted before entering the burning structure (Redsicker & O’Connor, 1996). The area around the tenement should be enclosed with a tape. Only the investigators have a right to stay at the scene. The reason is quite simple – no one is supposed to touch or disturb potential evidence (Michelson, 2015). It is also important not to forget about the safety of all individuals in the area (Bertino & Bertino, 2015). There are seven S’s of any crime investigation: securing the scene, separating the witnesses, scanning the scene, seeing the scene, sketching the scene, searching for evidence, and securing evidence (Bertino & Bertino, 2015, p. 24-27). Therefore, the first two steps are the crucial ones for the beginning, as it will help to avoid evidentiary pitfalls. The first people who should be called in this case are forensic experts who will collect the physical, scientific evidence. These people are also called as crime scene technicians and are responsible for the collection and preservation of evidence (Michelson, 2015). The next part consists of collecting such evidence as fingerprints and latent prints. In this case, it is important to indicate those poor patterns of accelerants, and check all the floors of the premise in case there might have been another reason for the fire. In this case, the trails of accelerants are poor, so their visible traces can be invisible. Ford (2014) suggests using trained dogs to find those traces, as they can react to spec
Advanced practice nurses (APNs) possess adequate competencies that empower them to provide exemplary services to their patients. They can offer medications to individuals depending on their health expectations. The complexity triggered by diverse health needs, an aging population, and terminal conditions has led to the production of diverse medical therapies. These developments have increased the risk of injury when prescribing and offering different drugs. This paper describes how the use of informatics is an evidence-based approach for reducing medication errors. Problem Identification and Analysis APNs should collaborate with other professionals to ensure that all patients get high-quality medical services. Unfortunately, various challenges capable of disorienting the established care delivery processes tend to emerge, such as medication errors. Dirik, Samur, Intepeler, and Hewison (2018) define a “medication error” as any avoidable event that is capable of resulting in inappropriate use of drugs and patient injury or harm. The occurrence of such an outcome can prolong a patient’s hospitalization, increase medical costs, or end up in premature death. The overall continuity and safety of the available health services will reduce significantly while affecting the quality of care. APNs and other professionals who execute or are associated with such errors will become demoralized and even fail to pursue their career goals diligently. Medication errors affect professionals and citizens in both developing and developed nations. In the United States, around 7,000 to 9,000 individuals die annually due to such events (Dirik et al., 2018). Over 20 percent experience similar errors without recording complications or negative reactions (Kuehner Law Firm, n.d.). The American government spends over 40 billion US dollars annually to treat and meet the health needs of patients with conditions associated with such sentinel events (Kuehner Law Firm, n.d.). Medication errors are among the top three leading causes of preventable deaths in the United States (see Figure 1). These statistics explain why medication errors form a major problem in the health sector. Figure 1: Deaths in the United States (Kuehner Law Firm, n.d.). Epidemiological information can offer additional ideas regarding the nature of this practice problem. The prevalence rates are around 2 to 94 percent in the United States (Dirik et al., 2018). The commonest type of error is that of inappropriate drug prescription at around 70 percent (Dirik et al., 2018). The incidence of avoidable adverse drug events (ADEs) in this country has averaged 15 in every 1,000 citizens annually (Kuehner Law Firm, n.d.). Drug-drug interactions are usually around 7 percent (Abdel-Latif, 2016). This sentinel event in medical practice is associated with various attributes, such as patients, healthcare professionals, and age. Affected people will experience physical pain, psychological trauma, and prolonged suffering. Many patients who encounter such medication errors will have to incur additional expenses (Abdel-Latif, 2016). The problem of rehospitalization is associated with these sentinel event
Introduction What does Fukuzawa Yukichi’s life story tell us about how the Japanese understood and responded to the challenges posed by the West in the 19th century? Fukuzawa Yukichi was an influential 19th-century intellectual who played a big role in the Westernization of Japan. Born in Osaka in 1835 to a lower-rank samurai family, Fukuzawa rose to become a renowned proponent of Western civilization in the Meiji era. His life history is a struggle for a social revolution to adopt Western imperialism as an avenue to the academic and industrial development in Japan. Japan faced challenges in trying to protect its national polity and social order against Western civilization, but it became clear that it must adopt some Western facets of civilization to prosper. Fukuzawa, throughout his life, advocated for a change from the Japanese social order to a system where resources were allocated on merit, not custom or family status. Facets of westernization such as transparency, openness, and intellectualism appealed to Fukuzawa. His notions about the West largely reflect the aspirations of the lower-class Japanese in the 19th century. Thus, by taking into consideration Fukuzawa’s life experiences, we can understand the challenges the Japanese underwent as Japan transitioned from a hierarchical society to a capitalist and classless one characteristic of the West. Alleviating Inequality in the Clan It was through westernization that Japan established an equal modern society. Fukuzawa recounts how the clan system disadvantaged the lower-rank samurai. Education and family inheritance was restricted through laws enacted by the ‘bakufu’ government. The upper classes received a better education in areas like military training, Confucianism, and art, which were considered noble fields at the time. In contrast, lower classes only learned arithmetic and reading. This social inequality made Fukuzawa embrace Western ideals as a way of escaping the clan system at Nakatsu that relegated him to inferior disciplines. His enthusiasm to study ‘rangaku’ (Dutch) as a child is an indication of his discontent with the social order. At the time, the
