People in the modern world are now more apathetic because the cultural mentality has changed, present-day entertainment has desensitized humans, and social media altered our behavior. With the abundance of every possible item surrounding people, they have lost focus of their surroundings and continue to race towards materialistic wealth. Scott Leuthold writes, “The plague of our materialistic society is a direct result of mankind seeking satisfaction and happiness through the addiction to…

My life during third grade was like many other children. I would go to school Monday thru Friday and come home every day and complete my homework and then spend time with friends, watching TV, or playing in my room. Every Friday that I would come home from school and have my piano lesson and then relax. That was everyday routine, but one cold Friday afternoon changed my routine for the rest of my life. On a cold Friday in the middle of February, I returned home from school and expected to have…

The study Auditory Attention and Comprehension During a Simulated Night Shift: Effects of Task Characteristics is about negative impacts night shifts and sleep deprivation have on a person. Their logic is that night shifts lead to sleep deprivation which in turn negatively affects performance. Language processing is also observed during the study as well. “Human endogenous circadian rhythms interact with shiftwork resulting in sleep deprivation which negatively affects performance (Reinberg,…

to have any benefit subjects needed exposure of 2 to 6 hours of continuous bright lighting in order to achieve any fatigue reduction. Though bright lighting has been used as an effective fatigue countermeasure for those with stationary jobs (ex. dispatchers and air traffic controllers) nurses are dynamic, where time is spent in multiple locations (ex. desk, medication room, and patient’s room) making constant exposure to bright lighting described by Rogers (2008) unfeasible. Furthermore…

was riding a military bus at Camp Hood in Waco, Texas during World War 2. Robinson was asked to move to the back of the bus by white men. He argued and fought until he arrived at his stop, in which they continued to argue with him, leading a bus dispatcher and a military policeman to join in. Robinson was then referred to as a “nigger Lieutenant” which enflamed him, causing him to say “he would break anyone in two if they use that word, no matter what rank or status…

Police officer education requirements range from a high school diploma to a college degree. The minimum requirement is usually a high school diploma, although an increasing number of police departments require applicants to complete at least one or two years of college coursework or have an associate's degree. While most agencies require you to be 21 by academy graduation date, some take cadets as young as 18. The maximum age can vary widely. Do not assume that just because you are over 30,…

too easy to communicate electronically, which has taken away the physical contact that most people crave or need to function as a human being. Since people can get in touch with each other easily, a lot of jobs have been made ‘easier’ too; 911 dispatchers can find the scene of a crime faster, and businesspeople can get deals done in no time. On the other hand, some classic jobs have also been taken out of function; phone books are no longer produced (at least not as many as previously). The…

It was about 9 years ago when I decided to first become an EMT. Little did I know that during my clinical time, I would have a moment that would change my life and the way I see it. I was doing clinical time with a local Fire Department, which basically means I was doing their job for free in order to practice my learned skills in a real world scenario. We were returning to the fire station after just completing a call and dropping a patient off at the hospital. I sat quietly alone in the back…
