condom, female condom, diaphragm/foam/jelly, standard days method and lactation amenorrhoea method (LAM), methods such as rhythm (periodic abstinence), withdrawal, and folk methods are grouped as traditional.

from the local group. It is typically an outsider that does not takes an active part in the study. This type of method is sometimes use to stay or appear objective. An example of this type of research will be a study to learn about the Pygmies in Cameroon or by Atwell & Caldwell (2005) in which they examined ways to increase multidisciplinary team work relating to discharge planning in nursing facilities with the use of videos. A key part of both methods is deciding to remain covert or disclose…
Alike the author Junot Diaz in his text ‘The Dreamer,’ there is a woman, who shaped the eighteen years old young woman I am today. She is a black African woman, who comes from a village in Cameroon, a country located in central Africa. She is a single mother of four beautiful black kids, who paved the way for her children and their children children to guarantee them an exceptional future.

The triple bottom line is social, ecological, and financial and it emphasizes people, planet, and profit. As a finance and economics major, I found that economics and sustainability are relevant because of how sustainability helps not only the physical environment, but also the economic environment. In order to achieve the best…
towards the path of a Doctorate in Pharmacy, I could not help but incorporate this simple quote into my life endeavors. When my family and I moved to the United States from Cameroon (West Africa), my parents set the stage for this quote.

Growing up I knew I always wanted to make people feel…
cording to National Wildlife Federation (2016), “in the last two decades, childhood has moved indoors. The average American boy/ girl spends as few as 30 minutes in unstructured outdoor play each day, and more than seven hours each day in front of an electronic screen.” One of the most important topics in modern psychology and anthropology is children’s development from infancy to adults. Historically, their primary and secondary social agent teaches children how to interaction. In this essay,…
Causes of Decline The rapid decline of approximately 98% of India’s vulture population was attributed to the popular veterinary drug Diclofenac. Diclofenac is a no steroidal anti-inflammatory drug used to reduce inflammation in cattle and other livestock to which vultures are highly allergic as it causes liver failure.
