Through the many interviews that I have conducted, this interview was different in many aspects because I had the honor to interview one of my friends. Described by me as hilarious, outgoing, load, and a wonderful friend I discovered that despite the fact that I knew how to describe her there were some things I did not know about her. The friend I interviewed was Gbeminiyi (Gbemi) and throughout the interviewed she surprised me with some interesting things about her. I got to open the door of…

A post-interview reflection is anticipated to be informal, more like an email than an essay. For some applicants, this lack of limitation can be freeing. For others, it can cause extensive anxiety, particularly in the pressing aftermath of an already nerve-racking interview. To lessen that anxiety, you can always look back and consider just a few key points that will ensure a better interview in the next point in time. Within the interview, while discussing your interests and aspirations, you…

“Force-Feeding: Cruel at Guantánamo, but O.K. for Our Parents” is an article in the New York Times that talks about the cruelness of giving patients a feeding tube who don’t necessarily require it. It goes through the immoral ethics of putting a patient through the possibility of pressure ulcers on their back from lying in bed, clogging or dislodging of the tube, general discomfort, and pain.

Going into the interview sessions we were not sure what to expect when conducting our interviews. Asking personal questions to someone is never easy and if you are not used to communicating with elderly patients then it can be intimidating. Our group consisted of four members who each interviewed one elderly individual using the same questions we decided on in the beginning. The questions started with the basics such as age, gender, what medications they are currently taking, and then got…

“We tortured some folks.” Barack Obama, President of the United States, said in response to the release of the CIA torture report when he addressed post-9/11 America. Senator Dianne Feinstein accused the CIA of spying on the Senate’s intelligence committee. John Brennan, director of the CIA, denied that accusation. However, an investigation brought forth the truth; the CIA had penetrated a computer network used by the Senate Intelligence Committee and found that the Senate was preparing a report…

to downplay the brutality of the technique and claimed that it had saved British lives (Siddique & McGreal). The British went further, confirming that they share in President Obama's position that waterboarding indeed constitutes torture (Siddique & McGreal). In addition, former Republican presidential nominee, Senator John McCain, who was subjected to torture techniques as a soldier in Vietnam, has long professed that waterboarding is a “horrible torture technique” and a “terrible and odious…

Torture has been the focus of ethical debate for quite some time. Many people have very different, opposing thoughts on whether it is alright to torture somebody or not. Whether it be torturing for information to save lives or punishment, the morals of have been discussed. Two schools of thought with differing views would be Human Rights advocates and the Consequentialists.

The excuse of the ticking time bomb may not work for those countries or groups that would seek to use torture against us, but there will always be another equally plausible excuse for torture, even if that excuse is simply the need for information that might save their people. And therein lies the difficulty of using torture against others, even…
