Tennessee Valley Tva v. Hill Essay … Paper Icon

[. . . .] As the opinion in the TVA v. Hill case notes, it would seem directly counterintuitive to resist application of the law in the capacity for which it was designed. To the point, Rizzardi (2008) reports, "concluding that enjoining completion of the dam is the proper remedy under the ESA, the Court emphasized that "[t]he plain intent of Congress in enacting this statute was to halt and reverse the trend toward species extinction, whatever the cost." (p. 1)

Applying the phrase 'whatever the cost' here seems to suggest without reservation that a cost-benefit analysis could reveal no possible financial gain that would outweigh the loss of an endangered species.

Education Scenario Response From District Essay … Paper Icon

[. . . .] merc.k12.wv.us). Moreover, Merced (like myriad school districts nationwide) requires teachers to "facilitate discussions about bias and stereotyping, as well as justice, equality, and ethical conduct" -- and these kinds of discussions are part of the plan to introduce students to other cultures and why other cultures deserve respect. So it isn't just a matter of showcasing various ethic cultures that are here in the United States; it is also about teaching kids tolerance, understanding, and justice. The Merced curriculum calls for training teachers and staff about the need for multicultural education, "…awareness, diversity, and conflict resolution" (http://boe.merc.k12.wv.us).

Social Promotion or School Retention Research Proposal … Paper Icon

Social Promotion or School Retention

The school years of a student are what determine their academic future. This is the reason why there has been a good deal of debate on the issue of social promotion and school retention. When the students are unable to pass their final exams, for whatever reason, it always creates a problem for the administration and the teachers because they have to make the decision of promoting the student to the next grade or retaining him or her in the same one. Apart from promotion based on performance, the culture of "socially" promoting the student is also becoming prevalent. Promotion as well as retention both can have negative impacts on a failing student pertaining to his future academic performance and… read more

Descartes' Meditations Essay … Paper Icon

Descartes' contributions to philosophy have established him and indeed, many agree that he is the first modern philosopher. In fact, in the history of philosophy, Descartes marks the moment of a fundamentally new philosophical perspective. His treatise, Meditations on First Philosophy, was published in 1641 and this is the work that he is most renowned for nowadays. Because what we experience rationally is what we consider real and we claim that such "activities" as dreaming are a different "state of affairs," Descartes sought to illuminate such claims which we base our knowledge on. His method may appear reductive at first, as he suggests to set aside whatever knowledge that is obtained without control, but thereon, he requests analytical judgement that is to be applied to… read more

Apology by Plato (Topic Essay … Paper Icon

Apology by Plato (Topic 1)

In Apology by Plato, the author uses the philosopher Socrates to make several claims about what it means to be "good," as well as about life, death, and what might be expected after death. What makes this work interesting in the context of other Plato works featuring Socrates is that the philosopher encounters some legal trouble, being accused of various effects of his words on the youth and society. In other works, Socrates has his critics and opponents, but none have desired to submit him to the death penalty. This adds a rich dimension to work, in which Socrates uses great eloquence to rebut the accusations against him. This, however, has no effect on the death penalty decision imposed by… read more

Comedy and the Pet Detective

Bergson and what it means to laugh

Henri Bergson dissects the reasons why comedy works and what it means to be funny in his "classic statement of the principles of humor" (Kelly, Young). Bergson's view of humor comes from his understanding of life, which he saw as a "vital impulse, not to be understood by reason alone" (Kelly, Young). In his work entitled Laughter: An Essay on the Meaning of the Comic, Bergson stresses the important point that laughter and comedy are what separate man from the animals. Animals do not have the ability to laugh at themselves or at others. Humans do. Therefore, comedy is something that is "strictly human" (Bergson 3). Laughter, Bergson states, is always… read more

Family Law Surrogacy Term Paper … Paper Icon

Commercial Surrogacy

The issue of commercial surrogacy cuts straight to the heart of some of the most contentious discussions in bioethics and law, because the sheer range of stakeholders, coupled with deeply-rooted cultural beliefs regarding the sanctity of the body, the mother, and the child, makes it so that any discussion of commercial surrogacy is certain to produce uncomfortable confrontations between tradition, commerce, and best practices. In the past, legislation and the practice of law has attempted to give due deference to the concerns of the stakeholders involved, but it has been difficult as relaxed notions of the body and its relation to commerce and labor confront traditional ideas about motherhood, gestation, and the rights of a parent. In particular, even as advancing humanitarian and… read more

Social World. • Apply Life Essay … Paper Icon

[. . . .] Nietzsche's view on the self is similar to the teachings of personal development programs available now worldwide and within everyone's reach. The process, in both of the cases, starts with the assessment of one's self baggage of inflicted norms of personal and social, or whatever else ways of living, following a process of letting-go and eventually a renewal of the self. This may appear as a drastic revolution and, in a way, it as indeed a personal one that, according to Nietzsche, would enable a fulfilling existence; however, since the manner of representation implies a start and an end I should mention that, while I can agree on the existence of the initial moment of the "revolution," I believe there is rather no specific closure… read more

Twain shows that even compassion is unnecessary. Because the boys do not have all of the information, they believe that allowing someone to die young is cruel. That person could have lived a full and meaningful life. Satan shows them that this is not always the case.

Furthermore these federal rules provide clearcut guidelines in the selection process of research or experimentation involving human subjects. Finally, the rules make clear that there must be informed consent of the human subjects regarding the nature of the research settings. These rules were influenced by a document called the Belmont Report that was published shortly before the Federal Human Subjects Protection rules were established. The overall intention of the rules and the commission that governs or oversees these kinds of issues within behavioral research, is to make sure that the use of… read more

Odyssey Term Paper … Paper Icon

Odyssey

At first glance, it might be tempting to imagine that Homer's Odyssey is at least partially about female power, considering how many ostensibly powerful female characters it contains. Athena is crucial to the story's progression, Circe simultaneously guides and challenges Odysseus and his crew, and Calypso manages to keep Odysseus captive for seven years. Even relatively minor characters and scenes seem to suggest that women in the Odyssey are powerful and independent; for example, the sirens nearly drive Odysseus insane, and Eurycleia, a seemingly lowly maid and wet nurse, is the first person in Odysseus' house to recognize him. However, all of this ostensible power, independence, or authority must be weighed against the disempowerment of women that permeates the play, and the degree to… read more

[. . . .] The LTTE itself confirmed at least 378 suicide bombings in the period between July 5th of 1987 and November 20th, 2008 (Humanitarian). They were also the first terrorist group to use women as suicide bombers (Bhattacharji). This inclusion was important in that women had never before been utilized in this faction and thus were not suspected by targets, making them more effective killers than their male counterparts. Most of the targets of these suicide bombings were military, although some civilians were also targeted in order to incite fear in the nonmilitant population that siding against the LTTE was against their interests if they hoped to survive. Some non-military targets, like the Buddhist shrine in Kandy were destroyed because they held religious significance to the Sri… read more

Great Gatsby -- a Theoretical Term Paper … Paper Icon

[. . . .] In order to understand The Great Gatsby in the light of Marxist criticism, we need to evaluate various element of this novel:

Starting with the title of the book, it can notice that Fitzgerald has successfully managed to mock the American society. He has added an adjective "Great" to the name of the lead character. In the novel, Gatsby became rich because he was committed to the power of money from a very early age. However, why he would be called Great would be rather controversial. It wasn't his riches and fortune which made him great although that is the criteria set by the society as a benchmark of greatness (Bettina, 1963). Rather, it was his love for Daisy which raised him above all greatness.… read more

Appiah's Cosmopolitanism

Introduction and Summary

Globalization is, not just an economic phenomena, but a broader and social and cultural phenomena. Thus far, globalization has come to be understood as the increasing economic interconnection of things. This interconnection happens to operate as a convergence of many cultures on a distinctly Western civilizational model. In fact, the integration of many countries is evaluated based on their approximation of the currently hegemonic Anglo-American model: industrialized, capitalist, secular, liberal-democratic model, and individualist. This current approach… read more

Persepolis, a Memoir Essay … Paper Icon

[. . . .] The veil is thrown off and the woman emerges as prophet of God.

It is interesting how the veil -- the introduction to the series -- seems to be a key leitmotif of Persepolis. Persepolis starts off with the statement that: "In 1979, we were in a religious school / Where boys and girls were together. / And suddenly in 1980 / & #8230; / We found ourselves veiled and separated from our friends" (Satrapi 2003a: 4). The children playing together are made indistinguishable by the al-encompassing veil. Satrapi, in that picture, also draws herself to the side as though indicating the marginalization of woman and of the individual that she has become. The public areas are separated for men and women everywhere. Women, form… read more

It doesn't even occur to me that prostitution should be illegal.

Young Woman, resident of Amsterdam (Weitzer 2011, p. 146)

Sexuality is something that is unique to each individual. It is something personal and something that is intrinsically linked with one's personal experiences and the mores by which they choose to live their life. In understanding this, it should be legal for individuals to be free to practice their sexuality in whatever ways they choose as long as they are not endangering someone else. Prostitution has been debated in nearly every single society and culture to differing degrees of acceptance or rejection (Valor-Segura & Moya 2011, p. 159) and it… read more

Nixon's Speech

This is a red herring, otherwise known as "ignoratio elenchi." The following paragraph has nothing to do with Nixon's having or having not committed deception.

This red herring can be seen in several places: the first where Nixon extolls the office of the Presidency and says that people need to have confidence in the President since he is holding such high office:

To me the office of the Vice Presidency of the United States is a great office and I feel that the people have got to have confidence in the integrity of the men who run for that office and who might obtain it

My father was so proud of our house. It was really a pretty old structure in a neighborhood that was slowly being gentrified. For a long time, we could not afford to paint the house, so my father painstakingly chipped off all the old flaking paint, leaving the wood an elegant shade of grey. It must have been that wonderful old cedar siding -- that is now prohibitively expensive -- because it survived several winters in that condition.

Even so, he was struck by the cold, blue eyes of the Herr Doctor, who did not even look at him as a man at all but more like a fish in aquarium (Levi 116). Working in the laboratory saved him from harsh, physical labor in the outdoors during winter, which was fatal to so many other prisoners. He had access to extra food rations, which made him a Prominent man and gave him useful acquaintances and connections with other prisoners, as long as he shared the food and whatever else he could steal.

[. . . .] Of course, the U.S. had attempted to an isolationist veneer -- but the Navy, now an entity that could determine its own course -- had other plans: the naval strategy between the Wars was one of growth, and growth was to be achieved by bringing together three key points: "The first of these was War Plan Orange, which provided the rationale for a big navy. The second was the concept of the 'balanced fleet,' which served as the best available compromise of competing perspectives and interests within the navy. The third was the concept of the 'treaty navy,' which provided public justification for naval growth."

Technologies for Teaching at a Distance

Multiple technologies may aid the distance educator in creating optimal course material and engendering student participation. From simple online text-based readings to instant messaging during office hours, technological tools are enhancing the learning process. Yet technology is presenting tremendous challenges for distance educators. Instructors struggle to keep up with emerging technologies even before they have mastered those already in use. Exploring the range of different technologies for teaching at a distance requires many hours of work beyond that which is already required to design the course content, curriculum, and methods of assessment. Technology is increasing the demands placed on instructors at a time when funding and policy in education is floundering.

Milton's Paradise Lost

Predestined to sexual knowledge: Eve's Dream and the Existence of Sexual Knowledge before the Fall of Man in Milton's "Paradise Lost"

In the modern, popular cultural imagination, John Milton's retelling of the first few books of Genesis, "Paradise Lost," has supplanted the Biblical work itself as a representation of the Fall of Man and Original Sin. Culture loves a narrative, and people have come to associate the sensual Eve, the innocent Adam, and the angry, Byronic Lucifer with the original depictions of these characters themselves in the Hebraic scriptures. However, it must not be forgotten n that "Paradise Lost" is actually an artist's retelling and fictional elaboration and expansion of Genesis.

Science and Religious Beliefs of the Victorians

Whether to follow the critical mind whatever its destructive effect on religious faith or to follow the will to believe and abandon reason could become for some Victorians, perhaps a majority of the intellectuals, the two horns of a dilemma. They could do neither. No sooner had they concluded, under the influence of science and biblical criticism, that Christianity was a myth or that all supernatural religion was a delusion than they felt the hopes and consolations, so deeply imbibed by the Bible readings and church services of their youth, not only alive but reviving the more intensely as they were threatened with extinction."

Legal Reasoning a) in his speech Lord Hope of Craighead stated a number of grounds that he believed justified banning the use of torture or of evidence obtained by torture. The first of those grounds was that the United Kingdom had adopted the United Nations Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhumane or Degrading Treatment of Punishment. Clearly, having adopted a United Nations Convention, the United Kingdom, one of the United Nation's leading member nations, maintains a responsibility to enforce that law within its own borders. To do otherwise would subject the United Kingdom to sanctions and also make it more difficult for the United Kingdom to seek enforcement of the anti-torture provisions in any other member nations.

Nurses specialize in various areas, hail from diverse backgrounds, and work in a wide range of settings.

Through textbook definitions that concretely define the profession, I have solidified my decision to pursue nursing as a career.
