Disclaimer: In the absence of any dedicated and focused institutions or organizations for this emerging and very sensitive social issue, which is often misquoted and misunderstood, I have had to rely upon and draw conclusions from my interpretations of contemporary writers voicing their thoughts about the issue. A person is born from their culture. It is the first thing they identify with, the first thing they learn about. It is in the first things they say, in the first things they…
In his book, Making Beats, specifically the chapter titled “It’s about Playing Records”; Joseph Schloss attempts to discuss the relationship between deejays and producers, and the connection between individuals and collective hip-hop identity. He argues that academics who write about hip-hop, only center on the economic, political, and social concerns in its making, instead of the individuals behind the creative process (Schloss 2004). The main subjects of this chapter are how deejaying relates…

Courts rejected a Louisiana law requiring teachers to read a disclaimer before teaching evolution. Then five years later, Cobb County, GA ordered the removal of stickers in textbooks that declared evolution a theory, and not a…

This term is also interchangeable with the words social stratification which is commonly used in the world of academe. It is defined as the socially patterned differences of access to certain concepts that a culture defines as desirable (Kerbo,…
Donoghue and Stevenson was the case that changed everything. Before this case, a contract could not impose limited liability on a stranger. This meant that a third party who suffered loss and damage as a result of a breach of warranty in a contract between two other parties could not sue. For there to be negligence there must be: a duty of care between the parties, a breach of that duty of care, damage which was reasonably foreseeable and a casual link between the breach and the damage. Then…
The New First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt once said, “You must do the thing you think you cannot do.” Known as the reluctant first lady, Eleanor Roosevelt accomplished many tasks that previous First Ladies’ thought they could not do. With no option of becoming the First Lady, she refused to accept the “housewife” role and changed the way the United States viewed the role of the First Lady by her outspoken personal views, participation in the media, and her numerous trips around the world while…
a nondescript cake, their wedding reception would still feature a Masterpiece Cakeshop Cake made by the bakery’s self-proclaimed artist; the plainness of a piece of art does not strip the artist’s association from the piece.

The mental health (MH) multidimensional intake form I’ll be critiquing for this paper was retrieved from www.focusedsolution.net/MHI.pdf. This specific intake form is comparable to most of the MH intake forms I have encountered as a consumer and as a provider. The creator/s of the form acknowledged that the form may seem lengthy. Right at the beginning, they acknowledged that the form may take time to complete. As a former MH services consumer who has completed his share of intake forms, I…
