Justice can be achieved through various processes and principles if applied correctly, similarly justice can also be denied through these same processes and principles. This is exemplified through the Andrew Mallard case (M v The Queen 2005 HCA 68), and the missing persons case of Kieffen Raggett (2007) which shows how the incorrect application of processes like police investigations and coronial inquests can lead to justice being denied. Furthermore, legal principles such as; the rights of the accused and victims, are instrumental in achieving justice as shown through the application of these principles within these cases. These processes and principles can fail due to prejudged conclusions, police corruption, human error and cultural barriers
Interview Task 1 | Zachary Geller Research: I did not know exactly what brand of “smart” board we are talking about A google search for “smart boards cbsd” brought up a link about SMART software training for teachers https://www.cbsd.org/Page/21533 [Link 1] This led me to believe that “SMART” is the actual brand of software + equipment that cbsd may be using Googling ‘“SMART” NOTEBOOK SOFTWARE’ brought up https://education.smar So after finding the device manufacturer's website I was able to find troubleshooting links under their support page You can choose which specific model the teacher uses and that provides additional troubleshooting manuals Attempt and Problem Solving: Now the issue here is that the ticket provided to the IT department has minimal helpful information. We only got “it was an emergency.”
While there are many small happenings throughout the year, the main focus is on “The Big Event”. This is a 12-hour long dance marathon where dancers who have spent the year raising money for the cause dance their hearts out, get to meet the children part of the Children’s Miracle network and their families, and have opportunities to continue giving (whether through signing up to donate bone marrow or having hair cut for Locks of Love). During this big party, attendees are not allowed to sit/lay down or have any caffeine. This is to try and replicate a tiny bit of how the kiddos feel on a daily basis, having to go through treatments and long hospital stays while still trying to keep their spirits up. Throughout the 12 hours, families are invited to take the stage and tell the story of their experiences with Universi...
All diseases and disorders are categorized by a set of symptoms, or signs that are indicative of certain diseases or disorders. Thus, symptoms are important when diagnosing a person. They serve as a communication tool between the clinical psychologist and the client. When detecting symptoms of a person, it allows the clinician to understand the client’s physical, emotional, and mental discomforts. Using the symptoms reported by the client, the clinician can then determine what the client’s clinical diagnosis is.

I will contribute to the mission of the Nurse Corps Scholarship program by continuing to provide care to individuals in underserved communities. Medically underserved communities involve racial minorities, offenders and ex-offenders, crime or abuse victims, LGBTQ citizens, people with AIDS, and those that are economically disadvantaged. I was born in the small town of Monroeville, AL. It is a great town but it does not have the best resources when it comes to health care. Most members of this town, including my family, would bypass the hospital there and go to the one in the next town simply because they feel
He won a scholarship to Rutgers University in 1951, but he felt he did not belong there and decided to transfer to Howard University in 1952. He later studied at Columbia and then at New School for Social Research, both without getting a degree. He joined US Air Force and reached the rank of sergeant. However, due to an anonymous letter which accused him of having communist ties, he was demoted to gardening duties and later was dishonorably discharged for violation of oath of duty. He earned his degree in 1954. He taught at many universities, including the new school for social research, San Francisco state, and Yale university. He also served as a professor of African studies at New York for ...
Now, being more knowledgeable about the many different routes nursing can take me, my aspirations have evolved. I have developed a special interest in continuing my education; I am pursuing to obtain my BSN degree. Although I volunteer regularly at the local clinic and hospital, I aim to reach people in other rural areas and collaborate with them and other healthcare institutions in an effort to improve their access to health care. It is my intention to partake a more active role in my local young professionals group by collaborating with my team in planning and organizing events. These are the short-term goals I hope to achieve within a
...forming bench research at Barry University and Weill Cornell Medical College in the Traveler’s Research Fellowship, I have been exposed to the side of medicine where scientists work every day to find cures for diseases and save lives. Experiencing different aspects of medicine has made me a more competent individual to thrive in this field and has deepened my interest and passion to pursue medicine as a career.I believe that those who fight with so little against so much truly need others to help them in their struggle. Being a physician is not only becoming a successful professional. I will work hard to bring about necessary changes to end social disparities, so that more groups in society receive the best healthcare. By making a difference in their lives, I will receive rewarding experiences that are worth all the hard work and sacrifice my chosen career requires.
On October 12th 2016, I had the wonderful opportunity to tour Richmond General Hospital as part of the Bachelor of Science in Nursing program at Langara College. My clinical educator and group of eight peers were introduced to the many different disciplines associated with health care. The goal of this experience was to orientate nursing students to their future line of work. During this tour, we were introduced to various diagnostic-imaging techniques like X-rays, computed tomography (CT) scans, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In addition, we got to explore the hospital pharmacy and learned how it operates. The group ended the tour by meeting with a staff member of the Richmond Hospital Foundation, who educated us on the value of generosity and fundraising in order to purchase essential medical equipment, improve patient care programs, and enhance the facility as a whole. This experience was educational and inspiring for me because it allowed me to critically think, as well as appreciate the teamwork that goes on in a hospital setting.
Becoming more involved with my community has helped me persevere through my unexpected hardships and regain my focus, which in turn has molded me into a better human being and future physician. As I explored ways to become a better activist, I have volunteered more in my community. My experience with the Boys and Girls club has allowed me to interact with young children of low socioeconomic status like I once was. The time spent volunteering has further spurred my interest towards those that are consistently underrepresented and underserved. These opportunities have cultivated an impeccable drive towards becoming a physician that cares and understands where people are coming from with economical and emotional insecurities. This experience has served as an additional spark that ignited the flame within me to pursue a career as a
My motivation to pursue this field is the overwhelming need to inform medically underserved communities of the proactive steps they must take
I aspire to have a positive impact by sharing my medicine experience and bicultural background to the student body. I look forward to studying and research at UC
This was an existential experience that brought joy to children’s lives while receiving chemotherapy, as well as gave the parents some free time. Even though this experience greatly benefits the children fighting cancer, their sibling and parents, I can safely say that the children I met at Sunrise Day Camp and Long Island Jewish Cohens Children’s Hospital inspired me and continue to be my role models. In addition, through my experience volunteering for three years with Sunrise Association, I realized that I am benevolent and sensitive toward children and adolescents who are given a life that they do not deserve. I know that the characteristics I possess have confirmed that I am capable of fulfilling my dream and goals in the future. These many experiences opened my eyes to a whole new perspective on life and ignited my interest in the field of
In the long run, I’m confident in my ability to usher a new era of modern and affordable medical career in West African communities still dependent on traditional methods. I would be naïve to ignore the financial burden such a campaign might carry—however, I believe my life experiences have shaped me to better handle future adversities. As the son of a cab driver and nursing assistant, I want to do my family proud and also render my services to the underserved. Aside from my faith, it is the greatest joy I can ever have—except I discover a cure for cancer of course!
