Hygiene
Hygiene by definition, is the things that you do to keep yourself and your surroundings clean in order to maintain good health. To promote good hygiene you can shave, wash your hands, and even keep your living quarters clean and orderly. For Shaving the Marine Corp Order states in P1020.34G that “Men will be well groomed at all times. . . . The face will be clean-shaven.” This not only makes the Marines look well groomed but makes the Marines look professional and able to handle to tasks at hand. This is one of the Marine Corps ideals, is to look professional at all times, on and off duty 24/7.
Shaving on a daily basis may sound like a chore to some and unnecessary

To those Marines who make up that small group not only do they not have good hygiene, they lack discipline. If a Marine cannot even shave in the morning what makes the other marines at his work trust he can get the work done or better yet done correctly? This is why discipline is a well needed value in the Marine Corps. Shaving is not even a hard task to do. It should take all of about 5 minutes and that is a generous amount of time to accomplish the task. Good hygiene is always number one in any work place. Working in close proximity with work colleagues can lead to germs being easily spread, especially when many employees feel pressured to come to work when they are unwell. Who wants to be next to a smelly co-worker? Especially if you have to change into uniform and even work next to them on a daily basis. Absolutely no one, that is why something as simple as shaving can combat bad hygiene. Shaving can actually help you in many ways; Shaving, for example, on a daily basis is actually a way of scrubbing away dead skin that build up on your face while you sleep. This process of shedding dead skin cells is common across men and women. This debris can get impacted within the hair follicles and lead to acne or …show more content…
Simply put, yes. Hand washing is the single most effective way to prevent the spread of infections. As said on www.nhs.uk, “Studies show that hand washing lowers the transmission of diarrhoea and colds, and targeted disinfection at critical sites reduces the spread of infection in the home”. Good hand washing techniques include using an adequate amount of soap, rubbing the hands together to create friction, and rinsing under warm running water. On the site www.ccohs.ca they stated, “It is true that regular soap and water does not actually kill microorganisms (they create a slippery surface that allows the organisms to "slide off"), antibacterial soaps are typically considered to be "overkill" for most purposes. The exception may be in a hospital where special situations are present.” Reduces the spread of germs and disease, reduces exposure to chemicals and reduces chances of developing some skin allergies. A way to stop the spread of germs is if you have to sneeze and you don’t have a tissue is to sneeze in the armpit of your arm, then rather sneeze in your hand, then only later to wipe in on an object or worse on your own clothes and possibly later hug an individual. Paying extra attention to hygiene in the workplace is also very important. Many research studies have shown that the average office desk area has an enormous amount of bacteria and viruses on it which could be around 21,000 bacteria per square inch!
The Salvation Army is an advocate for fighting against human trafficking that are for sexual and labor purposes. The founders are Catherine and William Booth who founded this church organization in 1865 in London, England. I believe they relate to the United States as a hegemony because the Booths were different than other churches. They took their ministry to London's east side streets which were very dangerous. The United States helps other countries to succeed by risking their own lives or the safety of the country to help. The Booths efforts started a mission for the rest of the generations in this organization which includes protecting women and children from sex trafficking. The Salvation Army's efforts did not stop there. Right now
Things are now different in our American culture, but in the core of the test for your manhood it is inherently the same. For example, young men and women who join the US Military have to undergo their own “agoge” which would be boot camp/basic training, the most rigorous of these would be the United States Marine Corps Boot Camp, the Marines go through the most grueling time of their life during their agoge.Which in turn gives them the ultimate sense of pride in who they are because of the hardship Marines face during their agoge they tend to emulate the Spartans, not only for their warrior pride but in their moral values.Other things the Spartans valued, respect for elders and more senior military members have also transferred over to our culture in the form of modern military respect and
It's a very simple message, and one that comes across very clearly due to the nature of the advertisement's simplicity. All in the matter of seconds, the advertisement leaves the reader with a clear sense of what the product does.

The USMC’s Core Values, or ethics, are taken very seriously and have been that way since their beginning. These values include honor, courage, and commitment. Honor, which helps guide Marines, states that a Marine should obey the rules and follow them with respect. These rules include not lying or stealing, abide rules given with a level of respect, and respecting those the same way a Marine wishes to be respected. Courage, which helps strengthen a Marine physically, mentally, and morally, helps to guide a Marine though challenges and overcoming their deepest darkest fears. It is the backbone of the USMC and enables a Marine to do what they know is right and being able to make decisions that not everyone can make under stress. Commitment, which is the spirit and determination that the USMC is known for, is the ultimate discipline of individuals in the Corps. It is what drives and inspires a Marine to be faithful to his beloved Corps and country. (Corps, 2014)
This advertisement shows us logos by making people think about domestic violence. When you look at the big boot, obviously worn by a man is stepping on top of a small women’s shoe, it automatically makes you think about domestic violence. As quoted, “When he controls your life, it’s no longer your life.” This quote is powerful and directly speaks to the women who are in controlling abusive relationships. It also speaks to people who know someone who is being abused and that they should speak out. It pulls you into the sad scene with the dark lighting all around almost making it seem suffocating, which causes the small woman’s shoe to seem unimportant, compared to the big muddy boot that is trapping it. It logically makes someone

There is a reason that meticulous hand hygiene is a standard of care for all patients-it saves lives. Hand hygiene is basic task that has many benefits. It is common knowledge that hand hygiene is a “good” habit. Knowing that information, we must now explore how well nurses and other health care professionals are adhering to the standards of appropriate and effective hand hygiene practices.
Volunteering for a poverty program, policy group, or community service organization is an experience that will educate oneself and endure an involvement with those who may be in need of assistance for a period of time. When deciding where I wanted to do my volunteer experience for the class I wanted to make sure that I found experience that I would learn from. There were a variety of places that I could choose from that were in the area. For my experience I chose to volunteer at a salvation army in my hometown Springfield, Oh. This is an organizational group that provides services to those who are poor in a variety of ways. The Salvation Army is an organization that has several different branches in various locations. This branch helps in a variety of ways by having summer camps for children, social service programs that offer assistance with topics such as bills, food, clothing, furniture and a variety of other resources. They also provide several different opportunities around Christmas to help with the different assistant groups that they have available.
In conclusion the ad shows its appeal to logos, pathos, and ethos by having a woman on it and having her state her opinion. By having the character state her opinion it will make people who see this ad think about the issue at hand. In addition to that the ad uses a simple but effective way to capture the audience’s attention. It captures attention by using a well-known character, a short but effecting statement, and a simple color scheme to draw attention. Doing so helps grab the reader and then further deliver the message of pro-choice and that it’s a woman’s choice to do with her body as she pleases.
“Any activity that involves going through the hair and over the skin with the hands, lip, tongue, teeth, or tail to clean out extraneous objects such as dirt, particles of sweat-salt, external parasites, or other surface materials is considered grooming”(Simonds 169). Grooming is very important for hygiene. Although many are able to groom themselves they are dependent upon each other because there will always be spots that cannot be seen. As I stated earlier I saw Parental Investment. This is a great example because the mother was grooming her child, but the child does not groom back.
Disinfecting toys, surfaces, utensils, and bedding should be part of a regular routine in order to prevent the spread of germs which can cause illness.
Teaching both adolescent boys and girls how to properly take care of their personal hygiene should be taught preferably by someone in the home (parent/caregiver) rather than relying on teachers or peers for support. Information coming from a number of sources can confuse an adolescent that is con...
