Professor X

“Kids these days” is a term with a negative connotation that is commonly used among people from the Baby Boomer (1946 to 1964) and X (mid 1960s to early 1980s) generations when judging children on their hobbies and activities. According to them, the people of the Millennial (1980s to late 1990s) and Z (early 2000s and on) generations have much different childhoods and adulthoods than the previous two generations. In their eyes, children and young adults today are nothing like what they used to…

Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Junior are perhaps the most well-known African Americans in the civil rights struggle and history of African Americans. Although they fought for civil rights and other ideas, they did struggle in dissimilar ways. Their differences in the fight for civil rights and liberties are not unique since in the history of the US, there are not two leaders that are exactly alike (Hatch, 37). The differences in Malcolm X’s and Martin Luther Junior’s approaches in the civil…

smaller hospital in a neighboring town that Swedish American Health System in Rockford Illinois owns. At SwedishAmerican Medical Center/Belvidere, we currently have one Philips x-ray room and one AMX portable x-ray machine. The medical center only has one computed radiology (CR) laser reader. The x-ray room and portable x-ray both utilize this (CR) laser reader. If the laser reader happens to break down, we have no way of developing our images. In addition, there are times that more than one…

“Dr. King’s example showed me that it was possible to do more as a minister than what I had witnessed in my own church… I was inspired.” As a young boy, John Lewis always stood out from the rest, whether it was wearing a suit and tie just because or preaching a sermon to his chickens on the farm, he knew was abnormal for a child his age but accepted his differences anyway. Growing up in the South, Alabama in particular, in a time where African-Americans were not accepted at all by the white…

field need to understand the skills utilized because Radiology and Sonography both require different techniques. For instance, Radiology uses electromagnetic rays to take pictures of the patient’s body parts. The most common use of this technology is X-ray. Radiology is used to see things such as fractures, pneumonia, and even breast cancer. Most people that want to become a Radiology Technologist take the path of getting a two-year associates degree and becoming licensed to be aware of the…

Within the article "A Generation of Slackers? Not So Much," the author Catherine Rampell, explains how the millennial generation is viewed by older generations and why that view is wrong. The view of millennials according to the article is very negative from older generations. Some authors claim, "They feel entitled and are coddled, disrespectful, narcissistic, and impatient" (Rampell, 2001, pg.1). I feel as if this is a gross exaggeration of the entire generation of millennials. There are…

dentistry. As a student graduating as a dental assistant I have notice and experienced with patients that patients question the fact why they are getting x-rays and if the dose of radiation they are being exposed to is bad. Studies have shown that the exposure in dental x-rays is very low and still many patients doubt on those studies and refuse to get x-rays done. Radiology in general is tough, as…

X-Rays Development of the X-Ray In 1895, a mechanical engineer and physicist named Wilhelm Roentgen created the X-ray. He was born on March 27, 1845 in Germany. So in 1895, Roentgen was playing around with a cathode ray tube and evacuated all the air inside of it and replaced it with another special gas. Then, he covered the tube so nothing escapes it, passed a current through it, and then the tube produced a fluorescent glow. After further investigations, Roentgen wanted to see how strong this…
