Alcoholics are ill people who need compassion and understanding; not bad people who can be treated with anger and indifference. Treating alcoholics condescendingly can make them defensive, hostile, and push them farther away from the treatment they need. Instead of asking for help, they may deny that they need it and try to use their own power to fix their problem (Miller 59). Alcoholism is a disease that can affect anyone, Christians and non-Christians; recovery, however is most effective…

as the world would label her, but that she was bad with alcohol. Apparently, one of the tenets of the” big book” is that to experience substantial change for the alcoholic, thinking must be overhauled, and the wording from AA was a profound change (W, 1986). She pointed out that a profound change does not equate to a complete change, and she said she would never have to atone for her thoughts, but most certainly will always have to atone for her actions, good or bad. This, I thought was profound…

A very good morning I bid to Sir Haniff and to all my fellow friends. Today I would like to talk about the person that I admire. That person is Colonel Harland David Sanders or well-known as Colonel Sanders. He was a founder of a fast food chicken restaurant which is Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC). Colonel Sanders was born on September 9, 1890, in Henryville, Indiana, United State. He was the oldest of three siblings. His father was a farmer and his mother was a devout Christian. 5 years later,…

Schindler’s List is a film based on the true story of Austrian industrialist Oskar Schindler. Responsible for saving over 1,100 Polish Jews during the Second World War by using them as labor in is kitchenware factory. As the film opens, you get a glimpse of the suave businessman bent on making a fortune as a war profiteer off the backs of Polish slave labor. Initially, Schindler jumps at the chance to exploit cheap Jewish labor in his factory (knowing full and well this is morally wrong)…

The theory was used by researchers to interpret the events of post-9/11 era. Applying the Orientalism theory, Nayak (2006) argues that the ‘Self’/’Other’ dialectic is due to the fear of ‘Self’ from ‘Others’ and also the desperate need of ‘Self’ US to a coded Islamic fundamentalism of threatening ‘Others’. There is also a correlation between the Orientalism aspect of ‘Self’ or ‘West’ as a nation and the theory of ‘Imagined communities’, proposed by Anderson (1996). According to Anderson, nations…

According to Richard E. Neustadt, ‘The power of the American president is to persuade.’ I am going to analyse this statement in my essay, by answering why a president must persuade, looking at the relationship between the president and government, giving examples of when persuasion has worked and when it hasn’t, focusing on other ways the president can influence and finally ending with a conclusion. Firstly, why is it important for the president to persuade? The power to persuade is seen as…

Many soldiers went to war and lost their lives for this country, and they have never been told the exact reason for this war; they should be rightfully informed by the government the actual reason for being sent to another country to risk their lives. It would be the right thing to do because someone is not going to give their life and find out that it is meaningless. The difficult part is trying to get the government to reveal their true intentions to the public. The government is smart, so…

Grady Health System was the dream of Henry W. Grady, who was a newspaper editor of the Atlanta Constitution. Mr. Grady was concerned with the poor health care that Atlanta’s poor was receiving.

quadrennial United States Presidential Elections, it was the incumbent governor of Texas George W. Bush representing the Republicans, and incumbent Vice President Al Gore depicting the Democrats. Nevertheless, the elections came down to a neck and neck battle, and at the end, found its destiny relying on the state of Florida where a margin of victory triggered a recount. After the recount finally closed, George W. Bush was soon declared the winner as he gained majority of the electoral votes…

Hip-hop culture has the ability to effect the way people think about politics and how presidential candidates execute their campaigns. This power has been realized recently, especially by President Obama, but we have yet to truly see it reach its full potential. Hip-hop has been around since about the early 1970s, but never had it realized its potential to effect politics until the 2008 presidential election. The starting point of this realization was during Hurricane Katrina in 2005. This…
