Annexation is when a country takes over a smaller, weaker country and makes it a territory. The Philippine Islands are one example of annexation. In 1898, the United States went to war with Spain. As a result, America took many Spanish colonies into their care, the Philippines being one of them. America gave independence to some countries, while annexing others. The Philippines were annexed and great anger arose among the Filipino people and some Americans. It is widely debated whether or not…

Ethical dilemma is unpreventable in the clinical setting. It is often difficult for nurses to make decisions every time that they are in this kind of situation. Physically restraining a patient is one of the most common situations that nurses may deal with that may challenge their ethical principle. Placing patients in restraints is viewed differently by many people as this has both pros and cons. However, when solving ethical issues, nurses are guided and supported by ethical principles and…

I believe nursing is a knowledge-driven profession involving nurses and patient interaction within their cultural background respectively. Nurses should provide care that does not discriminate, but rather encompass culture, religion, or race. Culture is viewed as the thoughts, traditions, and social conduct of a specific individual or society, whereas discrimination as a biased treatment of diverse classes of individuals, particularly on the grounds of race, age, or sex. This does not exclude…

There is no doubt that Mike Tyson has had his highs and lows in life. Kane is a libertarian and would say that if Tyson had a choice or made a decision at any point, then he is ultimately responsible for all of his actions, because there was a time when he could have chosen a different path (Kane). Kane refers to these times when we play a role in our fate as self-forming actions SFA’s. On the other hand behaviorists would say that all of Tyson’s actions can be explained by outside forces and…

have any martial or physical capability. India’s “passive, servile” behaviour led the U.S. to identify India as a feminine nation in need of protection, revealing how gender stereotypes affect international relations. As Edward Said claims, the Orient is depicted as the illogical and weak “other”, compared to the sensible, martial “self” of the West, creating a clear need for a…

The word evil is often associated with the profound immorality of being malevolent and vile. Society has adopted their own version of protection against evil by creating laws and regulations for their citizens to live in, with the goal of a perfect community. Philosophically, evil falls under the idea of a necessary step in the march of history and the moral categorization of the natural world. The general morale of what we decided is evil can be traced back to the Bible, whose standard of…

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë is a Victorian novel set in the early 19th century in northern England. In the novel, the heroine, Jane, references her betrothed as the master of a harem and herself as a slave. The same analogy is used in an essay from 2001, “Scheherazade Goes West” by Fetma Mernissi regarding the clothing of modern Western culture. These pieces were written centuries apart and in different circumstances, and yet they both compare Western society to the Eastern ideal of a harem…

Videogames, they have had many controversies in the past years as having negative influences on the brain. Sure the effects of Grand Theft Auto, and Mario Kart might be completely different, but if so can either of them improve memory and problem solving skills? There have been many studies regarding the topic, yet there have been many different conclusions regarding the topic which has since sent the topic into controversy. Still the bigger question might be what genre of videogames improve…

students who do not. This would have allowed the researcher to have data on both how students adjust to college and how students who already grapple with emotional stress on a daily basis adjust to college. A more specific research question that orients itself to separating these two groups would have helped in keeping the narrative clear and…

Not only did the governing models and approaches the monarchs undertook to influence the progressive or reactionary direction of their policy-making, but the European historical context within which they had to rule also played an essential role in nurturing the development of their images. An analysis, conducted without duly taking into consideration the historical and political context, would, in reality, be marked by its purely instrumental nature, hence, it would not manage to grasp the…
