Collateral

(AGG) “Asymmetrical warfare is a euphemism for terrorism, just like collateral damage is a euphemism for killing innocent civilians.” a quote from Alan Dershowitz which connects directly to the novel. (BS-1) Similarly, an act of pragmatic collateral damage caused Najmah to lose and subsequently search out her family. (BS-2) This same empirical bombing prompts Najmah’s distrust of people. (BS-3) Finally, a practical bombing kills Faiz, creating lack of communication which causes Nusrat to…

also have a severe impact on the protagonist’s development. This is exactly the case in the film Collateral, directed by Michael Mann. Throughout the course of this film, Jamie Foxx’s character, Max, endures a particularly stressful situation, which severely alters his personality, and shapes him into a completely different person by the conclusion of the picture. At the commencement of Collateral, the audience is introduced to the protagonist of the film, Max. He is a meticulous cab…

William Shakespeare uses irony surrounding many deaths in the play Hamlet to emphasize that Hamlet’s flaws impede his ability to act independently, decisively and courageously. Collateral carnage can be eliminated when one accepts challenges with courage and bravery. Hamlet’s inability to act swiftly in seeking revenge against Claudius for murdering his father, King Hamlet, results in the deaths of Polonius and Ophelia. Claudius’ endless resolve to kill Hamlet to eliminate the threat he poses…

quoted John Dewey’s writing: “The greatest of all pedagogical fallacies is the notion that a person only learns that particular thing he is studying at the time. Collateral learning in the way of formation of enduring attitudes . . . is much more important than the [lesson] that is learned.” From this, Johnson draws the conclusion that collateral learning, in video games, “goes beyond the explicit content of the experience”(494). That statement shows that even more so than all of the previously…

extension of the knee. The tibiofemoral joint adds angle and assists with knee extension. The patellar ligament is inferior to the patella and located on the anterior surface of the tibial tuberosity. The tibial collateral ligament attaches to the medial meniscus and the fibular collateral ligament attaches to the lateral meniscus allowing them to both flex and extend. The posterior cruciate ligament and anterior cruciate ligament are limited by anterior and posterior translation. The lateral…

connects two bone it can be classified as a ligament, raising the amount of ligaments to the grand total of five ligaments in the knee. The medial collateral ligament or the MCL which connects the medial side of the femur to the medial side of the tibia, hence the medial part, and it also limits the sideways motion of the knee. The lateral collateral ligament or the LCL which connects the lateral side of the femur to the lateral side of the fibula, hence the lateral in the name, and it also…

The study was done on rabbits and not humans meaning there could be a difference in the healing of the two species but overall this seems to point to positive benefits of ultrasound. This study also is focused on the medial collateral ligament instead of a ligament in the ankle such as the anterior talofibular ligament but since they are made of the same material the study can compare. Current articles supporting therapeutic ultrasound for ankle sprains were not accessible. The…

The aftermath of war leaves many complications. Collateral damage, harmed civilians, and economic turmoil are some that we can easily discern. One side effect we can not clearly detect is emotional damage of our soldiers from war. In “Soldier’s Home” by Ernest Hemingway, we see the main character, Harold Kreb, return from war late, missing the victory parades and celebration. Without a homecoming celebration to help Kreb transition back to daily life, he doesn’t feel quite at home. Although…

Torn Meniscus Stop! That is what happens to an athlete who has torn his or her meniscus. This represents one of the most common knee injuries (Mayo Clinic Staff). It affects 61 in 100,000 people per year (“Meniscal Injuries”).
