McMartin preschool trial

My junior year of high school was the busiest year of my education, especially when I joined school programs like the mock trial. It all happened during a beautiful evening at Rancho Cucamonga Supreme Court, where I had to present my first mock trail case in front of the judge. My colleagues Mariana, Greg, and Rosa were in my team for that evening representing the suspect in the case. Our client was facing three counts for possession of drugs. My goal for that evening was to drop the two major…

CHWs can be utilised in engagement activities, however they may over-emphasize trial benefits when sharing trial information and may face animosity from community members during information sharing (Angwenyi et al., 2013). Both Field Workers and CHWs may be utilised in clinical trials. This combination may be beneficial and challenging. Learning from the experiences in a malaria vaccine trial in Kenya, fieldworkers were frontline staff employed by research team from communities in which…

clinical trials are essential to have medical drugs that are good, but it seems there are several shortcuts that comprise of pressuring to have results which are favorable, carrying tests on people minus their consent, as well as applying drugs for uses that are not approved (Cavusgil et al., 2014; Shah,…

The last time I took a philosophy class, I was in a different situation. At the time, I was not a student at FLCC. I was taking just two courses. It was my very first time in college and I was fifteen. The class was Logic 102 at Genesee Community College with Professor Gayford. I enjoyed the class, but I did not find it challenging. That was when I was just developing the beginning of my interest in philosophy. It was my father 's idea that I take the course. I had become very interested in…

The question of what happens when and after we die is surrounded by ambiguities and uncertainty because no mode of logic or wisdom could possibly extend to such a question. Nonetheless, in Plato’s Phaedo, the character Socrates comes to grips with his death by exploring what death is and why he isn’t afraid to face it. Phaedo begins from Phaedo’s perspective as he tells his fellow philosophers his (and several other companions’) trip to visit Socrates in his cell before his execution. While…

The Phaedo is a recalling of the last conversation Socrates had before his death, as heard by Phaedo. The dialogue begins when Phaedo meets with Echecrates and Echecrates wants to know if Phaedo knows anything about the details around Socrates death. We then find out a long time has passed since Socrates was sentenced. The reason there was a delay in his execution was that the Athenians don't carry out any executions during an annual voyage to Delos to visit Apollo's temple. It's then when asked…

FOURTH DRAFT An American Tragedy: The Hawaiian Scottsboro Boys In his book, “A Death in the Islands – The Unwritten Law and the Last Trial of Clarence Darrow,” Mike Farris recounts in vivid detail a miscarriage of justice in early 1930s Hawaii that echoes an all-too-familiar American theme. We learn that several men, collectively known as the Ala Moana Boys, were the Hawaiian equivalent of their more notorious black contemporaries, the Scottsboro Boys of Alabama, who themselves became…

The healthcare industry’s perennial reliance on pharmaceuticals, from giants like Roche or Pfizer, while bolstering the quality of life for well-developed nations, often overshadows upcoming advances or developments in therapeutic treatment. A rather niche approach, bioelectronic medicine, is particularly attractive to the field of biomedical engineering, relying less on biochemistry than an integration of device and neurology. Georgina Casey, nursing lecturer at Auckland University of…

While today many would view a battle between two men to preserve their honor as foolish, in the nineteenth century and earlier, men believed dueling was the only resort to maintain this honor and prove their manliness. Dueling began declining since its beginning due to government involvement and modernization. By explaining the history of dueling and the process of its decline, this paper will explain that dueling continued throughout the nineteenth century, despite significant efforts to end it…
