The Immigration Department’s decision to reject a German doctor and his family’s application for permanent residency has sparked the debate regarding the issue of whether or not the Department of Immigration’s decision to reject Mr. Moeller and his family’s permanent residency application was appropriate. In the article, “A town’s plea: think again on our doctor”, that appeared in The Age Online on 1 November 2008, Sarah Smiles and Dewi Cooke contend in a reasonable tone that it was wrong for the Immigration department to reject the Moeller family’s permanent residency application just because of Lukas Moeller’s Down syndrome. Accompanying Smiles and Cooke’s article is a photograph by Joe Armao and a cartoon by Mark Knight which both share the same viewpoint as the written text that Dr. Moeller and his family’s permanent
The movie “The Doctor” is a good example of how communications in the health field work to benefit not only the patient, but the doctor too. In this movie, the main character, also known as Jack McKee, is a heart surgeon. The movie begins by showing how McKee’s attitude towards his patients tends to be inappropriate. Jack jokes about his patients and laughs at their concerns. His home life is also a struggle; his relationships with his wife and son are falling apart. The movie takes a turn when Jack becomes suddenly ill. He begins coughing up blood. He meets with a specialist by the name of Lesley. Tests reveal that Jack has a serious tumor on his vocal cords. He has now become the patient. He begins treatment but the results are not what they expect. Along the way, he befriends a brain tumor patient by the name of June. She will teach Jack how to empathize. He will learn how to feel and communicate not only with his wife and son, but for his patients as well.
Originating in 1963, Doctor Who has become a staple of British society. From the sole BBC watcher, who only consumes the visual canon to the avid reader of the novelizations, to the disgruntled civilian tired of seeing the Doctor’s face everywhere, one would be hard pressed to find a British citizen unassociated with the cultural phenomenon that is Doctor Who. With an audience base ranging from adults in their 30-50’s, who grew up with the Doctor on their small screens to young children discovering the Doctor for the first time in present day, the presence of the Doctor can be felt everywhere. Although with fifty years of product, the fanbase (known affectionately as Whovians) is as varied as the incarnations of the Doctor. This essay will attempt to compare and contrast the cultural and technological changes seen within the opening episodes of the original pilot serial in 1963, and the continuation pilot episode and consecutive first season aired in 2005.
Over the years since Sir Arthur Conan Doyle created the character Sherlock Holmes and wrote a collection of stories of the detective, there have been many television adaptations of his Sherlock Holmes stories. Currently in the 21st century there are two most commonly watched, a Sherlock, BBC version of Sherlock Holmes, and Elementary, US version of Sherlock Holmes. Most of whom have read the stories have read them when they were college students, but after reading the book they wonder which version is best to watch in hope that one is true to what they read. After watching BBC Sherlock and Elementary I noticed they are different in many ways based on adaptation, characters, Sherlock and Watson, and fidelity, but only one is true and best to watch for readers of the original.

Changing history cannot be done without the strength and the leadership needed from a person. Without these qualities, the world will not shape for the better. An example of this qualities possessed by a leader, is Dr. Martin Luther King. Born in 1929, King was a successful civil rights activist in the United States Of America. Kings’ philosophy is to defeat the ‘evil’ of segregation through non-violent direct actions. One of king’s most successful accomplishments, was the boycott against the city bus company. On the thirteenth of November in 1956, the US district court ruled out against the state and local segregation laws in Alabama. This was only possible through the leadership and strength of Dr. Martin Luther King as the leader of the Montgomery Improvement Association. During 1957, King was elected as the president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. In order to gain the trust and respect of the Christian audience, King wrote an essay that was published in the Christian Century as, ‘Nonviolence and racial justice’. In order to gain the audiences trust, King must develop his authority. Martin Luther King’s develops the ethos as authoritative in the essay, ‘Nonviolence and racial justice’ in order to gain to the trust and respect from the intended audience. Throughout the text, king appeals to ethos indirectly as form of persuasion of his authority. Initially he uses the tone of certainty and authority to develop the ethos. Secondly, King uses high modality and formal language as an effective way to demonstrate his intellect. Finally, he uses past events to appeal to ethos and logos.

A doctor is a surgeon or physician that tends to the medical needs of a person. A doctor is viewed as a smart and confident human being. This is an accurate assumption. A doctor is more than just this, he/she is a person who has devoted his/her life to studying the human body. "A doctor should be opaque to his patients and, like a mirror, should show them nothing but what is shown to him" Sigmund Freud.
Affording eight hours of sleep every day is difficult in the modern industrialized world, so I don't blame my uncle for having fallen asleep in front of me right in the middle of his sentence. This summer, he gave me the opportunity to volunteer in his clinic which allowed me to observe him closely. He had been nights without sleep. “Caaa-ching!” he used to tell me. “That's why I can't stop working. It's like hearing the never ending sound of the jackpot in a slot machine!” Until now, I never noticed the importance he gave to money. My uncle has taught me many things, but last summer, while I helped him in his clinic, he helped me recognize what I want from my life.
The series, “Black Mirror”, is a British series created by Charlton Brooker which consists of many episodes completely independent one of another. Each episode has its own story, but the point is always the same – to depict variations in a near future transformed by information technology, just a little darker. He uses dark and satirical themes that analyze modern civilization and results of technology progress but to be just barely ahead of its time. On one hand, it belongs to genre science fiction, but not like science fiction where we find aliens or scenarios like post-apocalypse. It is more like a representation of what the world is going to become in a very short time. In the episode “Playtest” from season 3, the main character Cooper
Medicine, medical supplies, and medical treatment are multi-billion dollar industries crucial to the wellbeing of the public. Doctors and other members of the health-care industry do their best to provide excellent care for the nation’s sick and injured, while scientists and researchers work to develop new drugs and technologies to fight disease. We often view medical care as a basic human right; something that all persons, rich or poor, should have access to in times of need. But despite our notions of what healthcare should be, those who make a living in this industry, specifically owners of firms, must contend with the same economic questions facing businesses in any industry. To learn more about this vast service industry, I interviewed Dr. Martin Slez, a dentist/oral surgeon and owner of a medical practice that provides both general care and specialized treatments for oral diseases. Of the topics discussed, firm goals, pricing, costs, and technology stood out as particularly interesting and unique facets of the organization, as they differed considerably from those in other industries.
“Good show, Watson!” John Watson, and his role model Sherlock Holmes are characters from Arthur Conan Doyle’s most famous Sherlock Holmes Series. Young Sherlock Holmes is a movie that recreated the first time that Sherlock and Watson become friends. The characters in this movie, Young Sherlock Holmes, are that of many. Of course there was Sherlock Holmes himself and his apprentice John Watson, but also there was others. Including Sherlock’s love interest, Elizabeth Hardy; the professor, Professor Rathe; and the nurse, Mrs. Dribb. In the movie, it shows the first time Watson and Holmes meet. Right away, Holmes is shown to be a student with very high intelligence. When citizens start having mental breaks and committing suicides, Holmes starts to suspect something. He rushes down to the police station, and tells the lead detective that he believes that something is wrong, but the detective just blows it off. After Sherlock finds a clue that leads him to an egyptian cult, he gets himself and his friends into trouble. Arthur Conan Doyle has written many other works that included important characters such as Sherlock Holmes, Brigadier Gerard and Professor Challenger (Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Literary Estate). If the film, Young Sherlock Holmes, is historically correct compared to the novels written by Arthur Conan Doyle, then the film could be used to learning purposes.
The iconic image of Sherlock Holmes as a suave English gentleman wearing a Deerstalker cap and a cape was portrayed in most of the feature films. He was created in the 19th century and was the prime figure in four novels and more than 50 short stories. For this reason of the continued popularity, the novels, comic books, television shows, theater movies and the newest T.V productions, Sherlock and his broad shoulders will continue to credit the writings of Arthur Conan Doyle. Holmes has recently shifted from a Victorian image to a 21st century super hero. The star role continues to be inspiring and irresistible.
