politically, progressives economically tried for government reforms to decrease the power of corrupt political machines and corporations.

La Follette, who was the governor of Wisconsin from 1901 to 1906, led the way in improving the overall abilities and performance of the states government as well to hold the state accountable for its citizens.

Say you’re on your deathbed fighting for every breath you take, you ache and hurt, you want to die. Some people go through this, and they know their time is coming but when is it going to happen? With the right to die, it could happen at a scheduled time and not put the patient through the pain and agony of living with another second of this illness. The right to die should be made available to people who are suffering on a day to day basis, who have a terminal illness or are going to be…

The concept of reactance is generally used in the context of conformity when one’s freedom is threatened (S. Brehm & W. Brehm, 2013, p.363). Conformity comes into play when one is pressured into following the masses (Rosenberg & Turner, 1990, p.496). Compliance is the external action we observe from someone who has conformed (Vaughan & Hogg, 2013, p.214). Obedience is a form of compliance seen in accordance to authority (Hogg & Cooper, 2007 p.313). We see these very concepts used in our daily…

In Beowulf, the titular character offers to take on Grendel by himself with no weaponry in an act of bravery. Bravery has been a trait long revered since the early history of heroic literature, in real-life bravery is not something so easily exhibited by most people as they are fearful but superheroes are idealizations. Superheroes are products of the society they derive from and when the society evolves as does the hero, they represent the moral and beliefs of that society and they show a…

Sawhill (2003) and Sawhill and Thomas (2001), stating if the marriage rate had held constant from 1970 to the time of publication, childhood poverty would have decreased over 25%, provided other factors were equal.

Deflategate scandal. Before Garoppolo went down with a shoulder injury in Week 2, he had played so well that there was ridiculous buzz about him overtaking Brady as the starter. In almost six full quarters as the starter this season, Garoppolo threw for 496 yards, four touchdowns and zero interceptions with a completion rate above 70 percent and 120.7 passer rating. They’re impressive numbers, but let’s not jump the gun anointing Garoppolo the next Brady or Joe Montana. We’ve seen Brady’s…

I will make a comment concerning an article of Pinto & Brunese (2010) regarding the spectrum of diagnostic errors in radiology. As stated by Flanders & Lakhani (2012, p. 477), radiology offers two basic services: imaging analyses and reports. Additionally, the images that the radiologist is deciphering is part of medico-legal documents. Therefore errors in Radiology may result in negligence that can lead to a lawsuit. As indicated by Owens, Taylor, & Howlett (2016, p. 593), there are…
