Advocating for a kingdom sustained off justice, peace, and order, Hammurabi enacted his code during the First Dynasty of Babylon. While the 300 or so laws may have aimed to standardize the common laws of the city states, many theories surround its actual intended purpose. Having endured millennia, The Code of Hammurabi survives today as a monumental stone. Due to such unparalleled permanence, the code is often perceived as an exemplary model of ancient orderliness. With this glorification…

The integumentary function decreases with age and the elderly, in particular, are susceptible to greater risks of impaired skin as their skin becomes more fragile and lead to pressure ulcer development.

In order to help improve patient identification errors, algorithms that have been developed for patient-matching can be used (Lee et. al.). With these algorithms, patients with similar information in a health system can be detected, in order to be certain the correct patient is selected. To help improve problems during the registration process, there should be red flags that may indicate a possible error in identity (Judson et al.). In order to help prevent errors, the staff in the registration…

A few years ago, I stumbled upon the poem Look Up. The Author Gary Turk explains that with social media “We edit and exaggerate, crave adulation. We pretend not to notice the social isolation. We put our words into order and turn our lives a-glistening. We don’t even know if anyone is listening!” This poem illuminates many of the challenges that the authors of this week’s readings highlight. Like much that we have studied this course, social media and the internet has both benefits and…

Some people believe they should be allowed to own exotic pets because they are able to adequately care for them. These people feel it is there right to keep such pets. Should people in the United States be allowed to own exotic pets such as burmese pythons, tigers, and monkeys?

An explanation that is potentially one of the more conventional validations of the relationship between Machiavelli’s The Prince and the Discourses is reading The Prince as a manual for the founder of what would eventually emerge as a republic. Once the prince has established a foundation of the state, the republic that Machiavelli advocates for in the Discourses will become achievable and desirable. The Prince was written to establish a unified state; the republic in the Discourses will…

What makes something real? That is the question Ask Me If I Care poses. Finding out who you are and becoming what you want to be is a major theme in this short story. In the early days of The Flaming Dildos we glimpse their struggles to be what they consider is real. In their minds, true artists are “real” to the core by being exactly as advertised. True artists are true externally and internally, with full disclosure to the world at all times. The Flaming Dildos are a band searching for an…
