I chose the career of a Registered Nurse also know as (RN’s), because Nurses are an integral component of the health care system, and it is important that we recognize the over 2.7 million registered nurses for the significant work that they do. The way for me to recognize their work is going into that career. I think it’s a wonderful job and also because I enjoy helping others. The career of Registered Nursing is an important and interesting job because it takes care of sick people. The…

sociology is seen in society. One such movie that clearly illustrates sociological perspectives is Erin Brockovich. This movie was based on a true story that describes one woman’s will to fight for the injustice brought to the common people of Hinkley, California.

One day after a disastrous day of interviews, a car speeding in the opposite direction of an intersection slams into her car and injures her. She sees this as an…

crimes, criminals, and the criminal justice system, as well as attempt to identify and explain criminal behaviors. Majoring in criminal justice requires you to take classes such as psychology, sociology, political science, philosophy, and forensic science.

At Southwestern College, the classes that you are required…

Lutheran High School wasn’t a well populated school. The school had nearly 500 students so it wasn’t difficult for him to fit in and connect with the…

Gaines’s A Lesson Before Dying,” Folks attests that although A Lesson Before Dying is fictional literature, the exploration of the nature of morality and in its social and individual aspects are authentically inspired by Gaines. In fact, within the actual text, Gaines applies knowledge and personal experience to the plot of discovering answers to the complex problems associated with relationships, reconciliation, and…

I attended one of the River Run film screenings at Salem College. The film was The Black Panthers: Vanguard of a Revolution. After the film there was a discussion amongst the attendee’s. The screening was open to the public, but there was limited seating and not everyone that showed up got to stay. There was a variety in age, and race of those who showed up. There was more African American attendee’s than any others. I was a little anxious to see the documentary. I’ve heard about the Black…
