many examples of how men have advantages, for example “Men can reasonably expect that if they work hard and ‘play by the rules’ they’ll get what they deserve and feel justified in complaining if they don’t.”(Johnson, Pg. 29) This demonstrates how men do have it easier than women, because it is true that if men do work hard they have a high chance of succeeding. On the other hand, women feel that even if they work hard it might not get them anywhere. This is where privilege comes into play,…
Baseball might be a complicated sport with a lot of rules and a lot of players; some people might even call it boring. But to me is a sport full of action and really tough plays where most of the action takes place at the home plate. This is because here stands the batter waiting anxiously for the pitcher to deliver the pitch, so he can try to hit it. In television those professional players make it seem very easy to hit the ball and do home runs, yet in real life a person can have some trouble…
double, but was then picked off right away. The next two batters weren’t a threat either. The Oklahoma Elite managed to sneak across a run in the bottom of the second. We didn’t want them to catch back up so we decided to kick it in gear. The rest of the game we remained in the driver’s seat. We scored three runs in the third inning and four in the fourth. They scratched across a few runs and by the time the sixth inning rolled around, it was 11-4, us. The run rule came into play and the bottom…
In contemporary America, Donald Trump, is the latest example of a flaw built directly into the American political system: an electoral system in which the majority rules and there is no minority representation, because the winner takes all. Except, in the 2016 American presidential election, the majority winner did not win; Trump lost the popular vote to Clinton by over 2.8 million votes. Therefore, the Trump phenomenon is not the end of democracy as we know it, or even the end of the world. The…
If we're honest about it we know that most golfers love driving the ball. It's not only fun but very exhilarating and rewarding. Aside from those great attributes, whenever we deliver a really good shot - it's a beautiful thing. However, for so many golfers it's the 'Tee Shot' that gives them the most trouble. From hooks to slices to shanks, every golfer is fully aware of what could and many times does go wrong. This section of the article is specifically written to help you correct these…
As Bobby Jones once said “Golf is the closest game to the game we call life. You get bad breaks from good shots; you get good breaks from bad shots- but you have to play the ball where it lies.” Golf is not your typical sport. Golf is something I would lose myself in. Most importantly it taught me how to grow up by a code of ethics. Every time I took the course I learned a new lesson whether, it was in my personal game or personal life. A golf club carries a culture of it’s own and I truly…
Simulated Assessment Critique This is my critique for my simulated assessment for clinical skills. My clinical skills procedure was assisting with feeding, a skill that is essential in ensuring that patients are getting the right amount of nutrients needed to recover. The Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool (MUST) (BAPEN 2003) is used in clinical areas to assess the nutrition needs of each individual, by using their body mass index (BMI: weight divided by height squared), whether they have…
Can new technology be the solution for hand washing compliance in health care workers? The reductions of infections among patients can be greatly improved if they quit being irresponsible and start following hand hygiene policies. Hospitals need to enforce hand hygiene compliance rather than relying on doctors and nurses to do it themselves. Hand hygiene is an effective way to prevent the spread of hospital acquired infections, also known as nosocomial infections. According to the World Health…
1. Assessment of the Teaching Needs and Literature Review Hand washing is a significant factor in the reduction of the various ailments that result from the germs and viruses attained via touching of contaminated surfaces as well as is the first line of defense against a pandemic, the common cold, the flu, SARS, foodborne illnesses, and other infectious diseases. With the hand washing, there is the elimination of the germs as well as the microbes such as bacteria and viruses from being passed…
(Timilshina et al 2011), was reported to be associated with sub-optimal use of personal protective equipment with only 22% of staff having the correct knowledge about standard precautions. A positive correlation has also been reported between knowledge and hand hygiene practices in nursing and medical students, with less knowledge leading to lower levels of compliance Suchitra and Lakshmi Devi (2013). However, there has been some confusion regarding whether improvements in knowledge raises…
