The Sickness

Life seems to have endless possibilities and opportunities. Some may be beneficial, whereas others may have no benefit to one’s life. In the book Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer, the characters will have the opportunity to go up the tallest mountain in the world. Although their life will be at stake, the opportunity for the climbers is just too good to pass up. When reading this book, one will question the climbers’ ways of thinking and the decisions that they make. As you get further into the…

For my Field Study Day I had a confusing turn of events that caused me to go and a research paper on the movie Everest. My original plan was to volunteer at the Elks Lodge but when we arrived there we couldn’t find anyone and waited an hour and a half before leaving. We tried going to a few places nearby, like a church and a retirement home to ask if there were any volunteer opportunites to no avail. So as a last ditch effort we went to the movies and saw Everest. This movie is based on an…

My paper will talk about Mt. Everest staying open or should they close it. I believe that they should shut it down for a little while. I believe they should shut it down for a little while because there has been like 16 people died there. Since 16 out of 25 people died there they should close it down until they make it safer. That’s some reasons they should close it down for a little while. The mountain is the biggest in the world and people want to climb it. People have the right to climb it…

After eight and a half long months of morning sickness, more like all day sickness, hefty weight gain, numerous doctor appointments, eating like a sumo wrestler, and back pain that kept me up throughout the night, I thought that I could finally rest these last two weeks. Boy did I think wrong! Sleeping peacefully September 27 in my new cherry oak bed with the ceiling fan wide open, I suddenly jolted up feeling an excruciating pain radiate all in my stomach and back. I knew then that it was time…

competition amongst sickness funds by allowing them to negotiate their contribution rates. For example, one sickness fund may offer a contribution rate of 11 percent tax (half of this being paid by the employer), but does not offer coverage when travelling abroad. Another may offer a contribution rate of 10 percent and coverage while abroad, but have a higher co-pay. In this way, the citizen still has the ability to choose between coverage plans and price. The larger the sickness fund, the…

US faced the problem of sickness in the early 20th century. Individuals suffered due to ill health as a result there was loss in the production and loss in wages. The loss of income was more than the cost of medical care. This stood as a major cause of poverty. Progressive reformers in 1915 proposed compulsory health insurance which would protect workers against wage loss and medical costs during sickness. The American Association for Labor Legislation’s (AALL) proposal was introduced in…

Human African trypanosomiasis (HAT), also known as sleeping sickness, is caused by Trypanosoma brucei gambiense and Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense. These parasites cause two disease forms that occur in different geographical regions of Africa: West and Central Africa, versus East and South Africa, respectively. (2) However, most cases of HAT are due to Trypanosoma brucei gambiense. (1) The tsetse fly acts as the vector for the transmission of this protozoan parasite between mammalian hosts. Both…

Blythe McGregor September 19, 2017 Kierkegaard/Nietzsche Exam 1. Kierkegaard gives several examples and variations on despair in Sickness Unto Death. All of these variations describe despair as a state in which one is failing to be the best human that one can be. They are falling short of their full potential. This full potential, according to Kierkegaard, can only be achieved if one establishes a relationship between the self and God. For this reason, only spiritual beings, humans not animals,…
