When one is healthy there is hardly a need to visit the doctors, or a need to consistently refill medications. However, when one has an illness, especially an illness that does not have a cure, then one is obligated to go for monthly check-ups, monthly blood draws, and monthly pharmacy visits. Such is the case for Nirmal, a 52-year-old female, who has had rheumatoid arthritis for five years and hypertension since her early thirties.

(PBS, 2008), studies consisted of African American premature birth rate three times higher in comparison to white American’s with or without an education. Researchers also imposed to raise African Americans who had a higher education in comparison to white Americans and results still consist of African Americans to have a higher premature birth rate.

reaction. Fusion amounts for mass amounts of energy produced around the world. This form of nuclear energy is the most efficient in terms of use of energy to production of energy. Fission generally involves the use of uranium, this is due to it's large weight (of the nucleus). While fusion is the joining of two smaller nuclei and forming a larger nucleus. This reaction is impractical in terms of energy production. This is due to the fact that the action of fusion requires more energy to occur than it would
“El Equilibrio de Identidad” The Mental Health of Second Generation Immigrants. Living in between cultures is something that I have had to struggle with, for much of my life.

Throughout my life my identity has come under attack from both sides. I have been called too American by my immigrant family while
characters: the Tom, the Coon, the Tragic Mulatto, the Mammy, and finally, the Brutal Black Buck. America’s first Black character found manifestation as the aforementioned Uncle Tom in Edwin S. Porter’s, Uncle Tom’s Cabin, which was released in 1903. “The paradox was that in actuality Tom wasn’t Black at all. Instead he was portrayed by a nameless, slightly overweight actor made up in blackface.”(Boggle, 4) This was a common practice developed by the theater, and carried over, as were many of the acting techniques

Witchcraft is an age-less and complex phenomenon. Existing in almost every human culture and targeting mostly women, witchcraft has been used to both empower and oppress women throughout history. The present is no different. In many African countries, such as Ghana, witchcraft is widely accepted and feared. This had led to many issues for Ghanaian women, who once accused of witchcraft are subject to numerous abuses and mistreatments. Scholars, having long debated solutions to this issue, suggest
about how the world worked and what their role was in the universe. Each likeminded group held that their religious beliefs were the root cause of their happiness and general satisfaction with life. Centuries of religious dominance eventually gave birth to a widespread idea that strong religious beliefs are essential to living a happy and fulfilling life. Even today, in a society dominated by scientific advances, religion finds a niche in catering to people’s spiritual needs. Indeed, despite the
The works of Lewis Carroll, and in particular Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, cannot be read without noting the author’s mastery of wit. The creativity and insight permeating the humor in these texts are so clever and artful that the parody, pun, and nonsense are themselves the topic of many a critical essay. Most literature on the subject claims one of two things: either that the humor in his writing is inspired by his mathematical inclinations, or that it is a byproduct
Bertrand Russell Introduction Bertrand Russell was one of the preeminent thinkers of the 20th century. His work on mathematical logic laid the basis for a good portion of modern mathematics; his political thought was influential both in his time and after; and his philosophical thought is both complicated and highly intelligent. He is considered one of the two or three most important logicians of the 20th century. During his lifetime he was a high profile figure and grew to have a high degree

The converse is true for Black women who seem to be the only sub-group not to achieve the universal health and other benefits gained from marriage (Bachman, et al., 2005). This paradox in marital benefits have many implications including lower martial satisfaction and divorce. In the 21st century, divorce has become commonplace not only in the United States, but in many parts of the world. Franklin and Boddie (2004) reported that
sentiment—a deep emotional identification with one’s fellow citizens—is vitally necessary to support, defend, and sustain liberal democratic institutions.[1] Without patriotic virtue, the institutions of liberal democracy are likely to decay under the weight of self-interest, greed, and corruption. Theorists rooted in the tradition of liberal individualism, however, have been a good deal more skeptical about the moral value of patriotic feeling. Strong emotional attachment to the community tends
nature to the utmost degree - i.e. the Earth. However, man has had an important part in shaping the environment, the social and political atmosphere, which have resulted to catastrophes which is slowing eating up the earth. To many, the situation is paradox, while more information than ever before is await-able on environmental and social subjects.
