Mary Pattillo guides attention towards African American middle class neighborhoods that suffer from high internal poverty rates as well as they are closer to high poverty and high crime areas than white middle class neighborhoods. Pattillo argues about social organization theory and the systemic model, while explaining how these networks easily control dense social networks which have positive and negative outcomes when it comes to social control by specific mediating action. Her article travels…

reincarnation (Ding 18). Reincarnation refers to an individual being transformed into a different being after death which includes animals, nature and humans. Additionally, death is viewed as simply a changed form of life working in an infinite continuum and those who worry about death will suffer in the afterlife (Ding 22-23). In order to be reincarnated, the Tibetan people dispose of the deceased in a natural way such as in fire, within the earth, inside a tree or in the wild (Ding 26). The…

reliability and convergent validity, can be rapidly administered, and is suited for paraprofessional use (Mansbach, Mace, & Clark, 2014). The short comings associated with the BIMS tools are it is not designed to be sensitive towards the full cognitive continuum and does not stage dementia levels (Mansbach, Mace, & Clark, 2014). It also falls short with memory as this tool only uses a three word recall rather than a brief recall of a story. Story recall has syntactic and other contextual…

and bible passages. Is it okay for us to take one sentence out of a whole passage? Do we lose meaning if we do? Sumney has challenged me to think about questions I never would have thought of in my own study of the bible. Today we talked about the continuum of the bible. Through this discussion I have narrowed down my own definition of the bible as Inspired. I see the bible as a communicating tool to teach the word of God with the understanding that some things may need to be interpreted in…

He managed to show that the speed of light within a vacuum is the same no matter the speed at which an observer travels. As a result of his research efforts, he found that space and time were interconnected into a single continuum known as space-time. As he continued to work out this theory, Einstein found that massive objects could cause distortion in space-time. Such objects would be planets, stars, or even black holes. General Relativity also states that it is not mass…

measurable goals, as this can determine the effectiveness and accuracy of the evaluation. They believe that recording patient baselines for each goal set, enables the practitioner to gage how the patient has moved along the dependence-independence continuum. Barret et al (2009) describe long term and short term goals, elaborating on this; they explain that short-term achievable goals promote motivation and self-esteem, so are likely to aid recovery more than long-term goals. This can be related…

“At the organizational level, hospitals and clinics need clinical, financial, and administrative data/information to measure, assess, control, and improve the quality and productivity of their operations” (Reid, P., Compton, D. W., Grossman, J. H., Fanjiang, G. 2005). Financial information is especially important for managing healthcare organizations.
