Imagine yourself, eleven-years-old, lying in anguishing pain in a hospital bed. Doctors are surrounding you, offering medical assistance. But your parents deny you the right to be treated. “Medical assistance would infringe upon my right to practice my religion” they claim. You hear those around you and have some hope of survival left. However, you never get medical assistance. Instead your parents pray. And pray. And continue to pray. This, of course, does nothing. The doctors and specialists…

Public Administrators are often placed in a situation that requires them to practice discretion. By discretion, I am referring to the ability to decide and make important decisions, when instructions are not clear or given; on what is right and wrong in a particular situation. This goes back to Finer and Friedrich on how they believe public professionals should handle situations. Finer suggested that they should strictly follow the guidelines of the legislature. While Friedrich stated that they…

As far as an athletes perspective on supplementation it seems like a fast and efficient way to get bigger, stronger, and faster effectively. These supplements vary from simple over the counter products such as protein, amino acids, creatine, and even advanced supplements such as anabolic steroids. Some of these are incredible safe and effective while others may do more harm than good. I will be exploring the positive and negative benefits of creatine when taken as a supplement for an athlete (a…

Australia has a unique system of government which, while similar in some respects to the United States of America (USA), is quite different in important areas. In the follow paper I argue that while in certain areas the President of the USA carries greater powers than that of an Australian Prime Minister, in some important categories he or she does not. I argue that the separation of powers are a critical constitutional restriction on the President which does not similarly hamstring the Prime…

I have never been the strongest writer out of my peers, but I also have not been the weakest. I am weak in parts of my writing such as grammar, spelling and sentence construction. I am strong in other parts such as getting my ideas out there and getting written down. Reading was a way to get away from all the tragic events in my life; writing had helped me do the same. Though, I was not the best writer, it had taken me to a place that I could finally feel at peace. Usually, I am a closed off…

The CCR5-Δ32 Allele: A Natural Resistance to HIV Virus Human immunodeficiency virus, most commonly known as HIV, is an acquired virus that attacks the immune system of the host and eventually leads to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome otherwise known as AIDS. HIV is a relatively new disease in human populations, AIDS was first observed in homosexual males in 1981 (Herron et al., 2014, p. 2). Later, in 1983, soon after the discovery of AIDS, scientists identified HIV virus as being responsible…

Terrestrial and aquatic mammals, although from different taxa and completely different environments, communicate over long distance in similar ways, but of course have differences since they evolved from different ancestors. Specific to this paper, elephants and whales are discussed; the way their ears, external or internal, are structures and how each section of their ears function to aid in the process of hearing frequencies from conspecifics. Elephants not only use their large ears to…

Football is something that is learned at a young age. It starts out as flag and then progressively turns to contact. When we start the contact portion of it, we are taught how to tackle correctly, how to do it without hurting ourselves or the other player. But what happens when we do not tackle correctly? We can get broken bones, bruises, or concussions. What Happens when you receive a lot of concussions? You can develope a CTE over time. What exactly is Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE)?…

to be vaccinated for medical reasons(Carlisle). The vaccinated children are also protecting people who do not have an immune system, which they refer to as immunocompromised. Herd immunity is a very great concept but if people are choosing to not vaccinate their children, herd immunity will not occur. Vaccines are also necessary because they help your child’s immune system do its work. When the child is vaccinated the child develops protection against future infections(Medicine.net). The good…

How the Brain Forms Our Identities Our identities are formed through a very distinct process in which our senses interpret the events that we experience. By using our senses and our memories, we act according to what our brains remember and build our own identities. However, traumatic memories cannot be remembered as easily as regular memories can, making it difficult to have a strong and personal identity. Martha Stout’s “When I Woke Up Tuesday Morning, It Was Friday” discusses how trauma can…
