Imperial examination

Throughout history, many pivotal events have changed the world into what it is today. Specifically looking into historical battles, one may consider how things might be different with an alternate outcome. Let us look at the Battle of Tsushima and examine how a different outcome could have changed things for Russia as well as Japan. If Russia actually took the Russo-Japanese War, Japan would not have started their rise as a powerhouse . The European nation would have continued its rein for a…

I don’t know how many people decide to pursue PhD because they love doing research, but I am one of those people. I was raised in a learning oriented family, my father went to graduate school many years ago, and he kept doing research through his whole career life. Even in his age, he still want to pursue another degree in graduate school. My parents always educated me that, one life is short, only by making contribution to your own field can you make your life meaningful. The thought of being a…

Baylor Personal Statement I could hear conversation coming from inside the room. Confused and eager, I positioned myself behind the door. Why was no one excited? The faint murmur of the next sentence cut straight through my heart, “Due to the lack of oxygen during your son’s birth, there is a high probability of him developing disorders during his childhood.” This couldn’t be happening to my baby brother. I had waited months to finally hold him, and now I had to wait a few more weeks, until he…

What should go into a clinical interview? First we must define “clinical interview.” A clinical interview according to research on this topic is defined as a conversation with a purpose. This conversation should consist of the client chief complaint (what brings you to see me?). The conversation with the client should have no central theme, the client role can be defined with the initial interview, and the client can start and end the conversation at will. The interviewer should use…

The discipline of forensic science has been under fire for quite some time now, and one can say that it is completely justified. Fraudulent and incompetent analysts, such as Annie Dookhan, have performed investigations in flawed crime labs, like that of the Baltimore crime lab, and through this process, have imprisoned the innocent, just as Cameron T. Willingham was falsely convicted. Issues occurred in all of these instances that allowed for the devaluing of the field of forensic science. If…

Intro Bean is perhaps most remembered for his Official Histories of Australia. The story of the Anzac legend may have never been told if it was not for this talented writer, however while some elements of it are well accepted, others have been greatly disputed by other researches and historians of the time, the validity of his accounts and his strengths and weaknesses will be discussed in this essay. Paragraph one: - What did bean set out to do in his writings? Bean was concerned about how…

In his 1946 book Harp of Burma, Michio Takeyama wrote about the adventures of a unique company of Japanese soldiers and their adventures across Burma. These soldiers returned home from World War II so cheerful and energetic that civilians thought the company had extra rations, but instead had kept up their morale through singing (Takeyama 1). Due to the book being published just a couple of years after the end of World War II and a focus of the book being the Buddhist culture of Burma, Takeyama…

The Factors Contributing to the Victory at Midway The Battle of Midway was key victory for the United States in the Pacific. This battle had many challenges, but a great amount of luck and good leadership and strategy contributed to the victory that destroyed a large number of Japanese military forces and weakened the Japanese Navy. This enabled the United States to island hop toward the Japanese mainland and enclose on their conquered empire, leading to a surrender and eventually the end of…

battle had a plan for what they were going to do. Japan plans was to isolate Australia from the allies, and then invade the port city of Moresby. From this Japan now has the ability to have air power superiority over Australia. They even had the Imperial navy trapping all of the eastern flanks of New Guinea. This would make a perfect chance for japan to go to all of the south of the pacific and take over all of the area. For Australia they didn’t have a plan because they weren’t assuming that…
