2010 Haiti earthquake

United States began a 19 year occupation in Haiti to protect US business. Before the US occupation, Haiti had been subjected to the foreign rule of the Spanish, and then later the French. The Spanish believed they were not gaining from the relationship, and the country was passed over to the French as if it were a baton in a relay race as opposed to an Island that contained other human beings. Unlike the Spanish, the French gained more from ruling over Haiti, which was then known as Saint…

of injury sustained (Ursano, Fullerton & Norwood, n.d.). This paper will briefly compare and contrast the seven psychological stages of a disaster in the 2010 Haiti earthquake (natural disaster), and the 1988 Lockerbie, Scotland crash of the NY bound Pan-Am Boeing 747 (terrorist disaster). The Haiti earthquake was a 7.0 magnitude earthquake which struck near Port au Prince where it is estimated that 86% of the people living there were living in deplorable conditions – mostly tightly packed…

Despite its literal massive size, the world is becoming increasingly smaller as a result of technology and globalization. Countries are no longer isolated from one another by oceans, terrain, or distance. As a result, it is impossible for an individual to remain oblivious to international events whether they are positive or negative. Each individual must determine what their role will be in this global society, and many factors contribute to this decision. I began this class focusing on…

Haiti and the Dominican Republic Haiti and the Dominican Republic: two isolated countries divided by a border on one small island. The border between Haiti and the Dominican Republic breeds hatred, discrimination and racism stemming from a long, blood-filled history. Geographically close to one another, the countries remain psychologically separate, distinguished by an intangible boundary edified by the Dominican dictator Trujillo. Trujillo’s proclamations of antihaitismo and Dominican…

et al., 2010; Hammond et al., 2001). Other researchers such as Kanbur et al (2012); Ravallion (2012); and others sustained that poverty itself undermines judgment and leads to poor decision making (Kanbur & Sumner, 2012; Ravallion, 2012; Farrigan & Parker, 2012). That makes social poverty unquestionably connected to previous low-quality economic decision making that sprung from social capital deficiencies attributed to one’s horizontal network (Yamamoto & Holloway, 2010; Heath et al., 2010;…

Reflecting on an issue or situation is taking serious thought and consideration of what happened and how one could behave differently or respond differently. So simply, reflection is the ability to turn a negative into a positive. This is incredibly important in nursing practice as when we make a mistake, learn a different technique or a situation happens that we feel we could have handled better, reflection allows us to look back where we went wrong and how we could correct ourselves in the…

Electronic Medication Administration Record and Patient Safety One of the reason medication related deaths occur are due to medication errors (Karen, 2011, p. 1). In fact, within the United States, approximately 7,000 people die each year due to medication errors (Karen, 2011, p. 1). According to Karen (2011) 1.3 million medication errors occur yearly, which relates to several injuries and approximately one death a day related to medication errors in the Unites States (Karen, 2011, p. 1). One…

important for owners to remember that the dietary needs of their pets’ change as their lives go on, and that diets should be based on the overall nutrient profile, rather than the individual ingredients (Freeman & Heinze, 2012; Souliere, 2014; Wargo, 2010). I believe that a grain-free diet should only be used on a case by case diet and that they should not be promoted as general use diet without the proper education in order to avoid many unnecessary and potentially life-threatening…

thinly (Bailey, 1889; Denio, 1897; Henderson, Crews, & Barlow, 1945; Poyntz, 1933). With digital technology, not only has the issue persisted, there are concerns that the impact on learning is even greater than before (Bowman, Levine, Waite, & Gendron, 2010; Fox, Rosen, & Crawford, 2009; Levine, Waite, & Bowman, 2007). Ubiquitous, always-on technology is changing the way humans engage with information and interact with each other. While offering tremendous personal and social enhancements, it…

personal loan for housing, vehicles, education, personal credit cards, consumer durables and others. Among that credit limit for housing loans contributed nearly 49% for 2014 and nearly 66% for 2013.
