Throughout time, many great leaders and and people have left their mark on European history. Many wars, revolutions, and other events have left a mark on history, but it is best done by the people who cause these effects. One of these famous European figures is Otto von Bismarck. Bismarck is the most important figure in European history due to his Unification of Germany, His Alliances and their affect on World War I, and his Military Strategies which influenced nationalism. Otto von Bismarck…

An arms race is a competition between nations to produce the best armed forces. Each country competed to create large numbers of weapons, greater armies, and superior military technology. When Kaiser Wilhelm II came to power in 1888 in Germany, he was eager to show the strength of his country to the rest of the world. He was extremely proud of the German army, and even declared that he and the army were born for one another. Wilhelm also put a…

I believe that the relationship among access, cost and quality is called the “iron triangle” because of how heavily interrelated each entity is within our current healthcare system (a change in one aspect of the triangle affects the other aspects as well). If we were to increase access to healthcare, cost for healthcare would also increase. And access to quality healthcare is often limited due to cost. I do believe that cost, access and quality are important pillars of our healthcare system but…

The narrator, Nick Carraway, is a man who fought in World War I, graduated from Yale, and has now moved to West Egg, New York to learn about the bond business. Based upon that description I gain within the first chapter, I already knew that Carraway is a diligent man. Since he comes from a wealthy family, he understands that he shouldn’t criticize anyone; his father taught him to remember that “all the people in this world haven’t had the advantages that you’ve had.” This made me realize that…

students do not speak up about the issues of discrimination within the school community. This is one of the reasons why the issues of discrimination don’t get resolved. How can we expect change when nobody is speaking about the issue? According to Kaiser, she states “Third, speaking up about discrimination can create a sense of group value, empowerment, and solidarity; whereas not speaking up can create difficulties for achieving a positive social identity.” (p.771). Slowly but surely, more…

Kaiser, under contract to build cargo ships for the beleaguered British, constructed a shipbuilding yard in Portland. After the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, Kaiser also won wartime contracts to build ships for the United States and because of the insatiable demand, Kaiser constructed two additional shipyards in the Portland area. During the war, the Oregon Shipbuilding Yards…

the core problems this initiative hoped to address can be identified. For instance, the first provision within the ACA requires all U.S citizens to have health insurance, but prior to 2010 44 million American did not maintain consistent coverage (Kaiser Family Foundation, 2016, p.1). Studies have shown that uninsured individuals are less likely to have a primary physician, therefore, relying typically on the emergency room for care (DeMichele, 2016a, p.1) . In addition, these individuals…

Kate McNeill 3-16-17 Mrs. Pickle In 1905 Alfred von Schlieffen was elected the General of Staff in Germany. At this time in history, the Triple Alliance (Germany, Austria, and Italy) and the Triple Entente (France, Great Britain and Russia) had divided Europe into two different sides. In 1906 Schlieffen had proposed an offensive plan that was designed as a surprise attack on France that would eliminate Great Britain as a contender to fight in a continental war. Russia and France were allies…

There are pros and cons for the use of media during toddlerhood. The period of time referred to as toddlerhood begins at 12 months, continuing until the child is 3 years old. Media comes in a variety of forms yet the media our children are exposed to is mostly technology based. I personally feel the cons our weigh the pros on the use of technology based media during toddlerhood, especially the first half. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that children 2 years and younger…
