    King Henry V Leadership Analysis

    Shakespeare's King Henry V is a play set in the early fifteenth century about the King of England conquering France and taking the throne. This play shows King Henry’s leadership qualities throughout the story such as wisdom, integrity, determination, and graciousness. My career in the health informatics field relates closely to the leadership qualities represented by King Henry. King Henry V shows wisdom throughout the play in many scenes. For example, King Henry thoroughly thinks about his plan to conquer France, before he actually does it.…

    The Trotula Analysis

    The work of Galen and Hippocrates formed the solid foundation for the pillar of medicine to be built, from the Grecian times all the way to twelfth century Italy. Without their work, medicine would not have advanced in the pattern that led to the penning of The Trotula, and the subsequent creation of the bridge to scholasticism, which sparked renewed, widespread interest in the knowledge they had to share. While the humours had been the dominating ideology when it came to natural philosophy and medicine, it had not been directly applied to women’s health, and the diseases that afflict women specifically. Let us now turn our attention to the bridge itself. Although written in the eleventh century, it was not until the twelfth century that The Trotula would become widely translated, and be in the collective consciousness of the medical…

    Life During The Bubonic Plague: Medieval Physician

    The Black Death led medieval European doctors to make advancements in medicine in order to save their patients lives. Doctors had never seen anything like the Bubonic plague before, so when it first arrived in Europe they had no idea how to treat it. This led to doctors searching for new ways to treat their suffering patients. For example, in the book Life During the Black Death, John M. Dunn explains how medieval thinkers believed that in order to treat the plague they needed to restore equilibrium throughout the body. An example of this method of treatment would be feeding a patient cold food in order to bring down their fever (58).…

    Bubonic Plague In The Elizabethan Era

    The Black Death, also known as the bubonic plague, caused by a bacteria called Yersinia Pestis, ravaged the population of Europe in the middle ages. “Localized epidemics of bubonic plague occurred with relative frequency, but only twice did the plague affect a wide enough swath of the population to be labeled a pandemic, or widespread epidemic” (The Black Death Arrives). When it did, over half the population of Europe died from exposure to the plague. Europe was densely populated and living conditions were terrible, making it easier for disease to spread from person to person and household to household. “In the places where it struck, the plague left thoughtful people grasping for language with which to describe a horror of such unprecedented…

    Civil War: The Middle Ages Of Medicine

    I believe that the Civil War could be considered the “Middle Ages” of medicine. The lack of knowledge of germ spreading and cleanliness, the weapons used, and the training of the Physicians led me to think that is true. Compared to today's medicinal treatments, the treatments of the Civil War seem like a way of torture instead of a way to save lives. The lack of knowledge of germs and cleanliness are signs of a medical middle age.…

    Social Class System In Twelfth Night By William Shakespeare

    Furthermore, in Twelfth Night a character named Feste the clown is presented. In the play, Feste points fun at everyone no matter the class or social rank an individual is and even sings songs pertaining to the mood of the play. The tone of play especially changes once everyone mistook Sebastian as Cesario From “Nothing that is so, is so': Twelfth Night.” author Ryan Kiernan states, “Festevents his irritation in a sarcastic tirade, ironically unaware, for once, that he speaks more truly than he knows... 'Nothing that is so, is so': therein lies the distilled wisdom not just of Twelfth Night, but of the whole sequence of comedies it brings to a close”.…
