Vagueness

Nursing entails compassion, sacrifice, empathy, love, patience, advocacy, and care. All healthcare workers, especially nurses, are taught early in their careers quality patient care is always number one priority. Despite the emphasis on communication as a way of effectively providing care, some nurses do not follow protocol. This causes devastating effects not only for the nurse’s coworkers, but, unfortunately, the patient. Occasionally, lack of communication is inevitable within the medical…

Sub-Saharan Africa is an endlessly revolving door of policy challenges and changes for the United States and other global leaders. Many of the countries in the region gained independence during the 1960s, and development, health, and government organization have been slow in terms of reaching global standards. The area is prone to diseases such as Malaria, HIV, and Ebola, although significant progress has been made in decreasing the number of cases of each of these. Economically, the region has…

There are many different aspects of Romanticism. Romanticism according to the Oxford English Dictionary is “Designating, relating to, or characteristic of a movement or style during the late 18th and 19th centuries in Europe marked by an emphasis on feeling, individuality, and passion rather than classical form and order, and typically preferring grandeur, picturesqueness, or naturalness to finish and proportion.” There were many romantic writers throughout the 19th century. Nathaniel Hawthorne…

Thought the vagueness of Goya’s prints both in settings and in captions such as “They do not want to”, “Nor do these”, and “Or these” he is able to give the impression of a widespread suffering and not pinpoint it on one experience (Goya 9-11). Kosinski’s The Painted Bird also accomplishes this through the vagueness of the setting and never describing where the boy is besides for saying he is on a village in the…

Several rumours circulate, claiming he is a "German spy" or "once killed a man." Even when Nick is talking to Gatsby at his party, he does not initially realise that he is talking to the host, which reinforces the vagueness and lack of information about this man. This is because Gatsby himself is a self-made millionaire- he made his money through various forms of bootlegging and other illegal activity. It is this corrupt background that compels him to shroud himself…

The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) and Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) epitomizes contemporary conflict in our judicial system. Background of Social Conflict FISC was originally established by Congress as a special court in 1978, and then revolutionized in 2001, however, it only recently became relevant to the general public after “whistleblowing” Edward Snowden exposed the seemingly underground system to American Society in 2015. Even then it, arguably, has not…

ended the unity that Muhammad had created within the community. Though these splits caused major problems with the people in Mecca and other conquered areas, these splits indicate the need for a more specific, structured belief system other than the vagueness left behind by Muhammad and Qu’ranic teachings. During this time period, beliefs about who should lead the followers (some said they needed the be from the Quraysh tribe, others did not), how many times a day prayer should be carried out…

Context can drastically change communication, as it affects how people interpret each others words, as well as the messages behind it. One way that context can change communication is through context rich communication. Context rich communication is the richest context…

The Philadelphia Convention is commonly referred to as the “miracle at Philadelphia” because it brought 55 men together, with many different views on the problems and solutions, of America. But they were able to put aside any differences they might have and work together for the good of their country. These men were some of the brightest men in the country, and together they created some of the finest works of time. They caused a nationwide debate, of the likes that have never been seen before.…

To ask whether an action is right or wrong, and to answer with one of the two simple, banal choices, is to ignore the rich and enlightening internal quandaries that arise when one must consider morals and ethics. In John Steinbeck’s novella Of Mice and Men, dilemmas of these sort present themselves often, particularly when George makes the decision to shoot his companion, Lennie, in order to spare him great pain and suffering. It would be unfair to simply call George’s actions ‘right’ or…
