Vaccine Proposal: Protecting from Biological Warfare
ABSTRACT/INTRODUCTION
The purpose of the proposed research is to create a vaccine proposal to be sent to the FDA protecting Americans from Anthrax, small pox and sarin. This proposal demonstrates clearly the immediate need for approval of legislation to provide protection to the American people from chemical and biological warfare, in the manner described below.
VACCINE PROS AND CONS
To research the good and bad of this vaccine one must observe previous empirical studies providing data on the use of vaccines against chemical agents or biological warfare. In this case, there are according to Rettig (1999) several "RAND" reports available for review on the negative health effects of chemical and biological weapons including those causin
| 1692 | Social Attitudes to Regional and Non-Regional Accents
Ever since Daniel Jones's pioneering study on the social reaction to variations in British accents, interest in the topic has led linguistic researchers to conduct a number of interesting studies which have shown that social attitudes to regional and non-regional accents have somewhat shifted over time. Indeed, it is worthwhile to investigate some of the conclusions Jones drew in order to evaluate whether they might still hold up in today's moral climate.
Jones was a proponent of what may be considered to be the liberal interpretation of variation in speech. First published in Great Britain in the 1930s, Jones's intention was to elucidate variations in British pronunciation in order to understand why certain accents were considered t
| 1669 | Military Health Care System
A quarter of the population of the United States is in or has a job related to the armed services. These uniformed service people number over 9 million in active and reserve duties. They are made up of military families, service members, retirees, the families of soldiers, veterans and survivors of those who have perished. To serve the medical needs of all these people, the Military Health System employs over 150,000 personnel, both civilians and military medical, who provide services both in combat zones and wherever military people serve in the world. Over 400 clinics and 70 hospitals are operated throughout the world. These medical personnel assist aeromedical evacuations, work aboard ships and under the sea. They deliver aid to those in
| 1909 | A Streetcar Named Desire: Emphasis on the Contrast Between the Masculine and Feminine
Tennessee Williams' play, A Streetcar Named Desire revolves around the male-female dynamic, as most of the other writings of the American playwright. In this sense, the relationships that develop between Stanley Kowalski on the one hand, and the two sisters, Stella Kowalski, his wife and Blanche DuBois are essential for the understanding of the work. To solve the equation made by these three characters, we must first investigate the main characteristics of each of them. The unknown element in the equation is also a common theme of all of Williams' plays: desire and the way in which it structures human life.
The three main characters of the play are drafted to suit Williams' specific view of the relationship between women and men: Stanley
| 1670 | The Energy Symposium: The Rosenfeld Effect
The Energy Symposium: The Rosenfeld Effect was held in the Sibley Auditorium on April 28, 2006. We will focus on the first session, where John Holdren discussed the challenges of the global energy environment and how increasing energy efficiency can help provide useful solutions.
According to John Holdren, the aims of an eff
| 264 | Do you agree with the following: Hellenic Greek Culture Has Made Lasting Contributions to the Development of Western Civilization
Greek culture had a powerful influence in the development of Western civilization. Most of western society was built under Roman influence, and Roman culture was highly inspired by the Greeks. The legacy of Hellenic Greece over the world was rich and vast, but we will focus in this paper on the main subjects that inspired the future development of civilization: politics, mathematics and art.
The Hellenic Period is the "Classical" period of Greek culture. The stage between the defeat of the Persians and the conquests of Alexander the Great, c. 500- 300 BC.
Between 600 and 200 BC the Greek philosophy was the foundation of all philosophical speculation of the Western world. The hypothesis of some Greek thinkers prepared the grounds for vari
| 919 | Greek Influence on the Roman Empire
"Do you agree with the following: Rome conquered the Greek empire and its civilization, but Greek culture conquered Rome?" This paper will argue that this statement is true. Furthermore, the Romans were willing co-conspirators, replacing the relatively primitive (and displaced) Etruscan and Latin cultures with the far more nuanced and rich Greek culture.
One can regard the Romans as having taken the best of Greek culture and made it their own. Greeks provided architecture, systems of government, the religion of Rome (with Roman names replacing Greek names; Zeux=Jupter, etc.).
This does not mean that the Romans admired the Greeks in all things. Rather, as the Spartans judged Athenians to be to 'civilized,' so did the Romans regard t
| 734 | The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down by Anne Fadiman: Understanding Other Cultures in Medicine
Introduction
The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down by Anne Fadiman follows the journey of Lia Lee and her parents as they attempt to engage in Western medicine and find help for Lia's epilepsy. Although the tale ends in tragedy for Lia, the story clearly elucidates stark contrasts between Western and Eastern medicine. Additionally, the story teaches the reader about understanding other cultures and working to improve outcomes for all individuals in need of medical care.
Three Themes in the Book
Considering first the specific themes that are present in the book, it seems reasonable to argue that cultural differences, ignorance and mis-communication are among the most notable. Considering first the issue of cultural differences, there a
| 1532 | Society and Law: Marx, Durheim and Weber
Emile Durkheim, Max Weber, Karl Marx have been deeply influential in developing the sociology of law. While many argue that their ideas build upon one another, others argue that the thoughts of Durkheim, Weber, and Marx simply repeat, in different words, many of the same theories. The Supreme Court Cases of Grutter v. Bollinger and Gratz v. Bollinger provide real-word examples of how Marx, Durheim and Weber saw the sociology of the law.
Emile Durkheim, Max Weber, Karl Marx all had a profound influence on the development of the sociology of law, and their theories built upon the other in many ways. Durkheim, Weber, and Marx are known as classical sociological theorists who argued that specific structural conditions led to different types
| 732 | Viewpoints of Horatio and Claudius
At the end of Hamlet, Horatio is asked to tell Hamlet's story to the world. This purpose of this study is to explore the topic of viewpoint in literature. There are two sides to every story. Horatio is Hamlet's friend and Claudius is Hamlet's mortal enemy. The following will explore the differences and similarities in viewpoint between Horatio and Claudius in the retelling of the events that took place in Hamlet.
A Matter of Loyalty
Horatio is a faithful friend of Hamlet. There is only one time when Horatio questions' Hamlet's judgment, when Hamlet confides in the fates of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. Horatio supports Hamlet's rash decisions throughout the play. Therefore, Horatio's story would undoubtedly be one of exaltation and pra
| 1652 | "Kill You" by ENINEM: An Analysis
Hip-hop is an often overlooked genre in literary circles. However, if one considers the relevance of art to the society that spawned it, one can hardly ignore hip-hop as a barometer of the society in which we live. In a world where school-shooting have become common place, as society searches for answers to their woes, they do not have to go far to find the answers. EMINEM's music has become a social icon as it reflects these societal problems. The following will analyze "Kill You" by EMINEM for the literary clues that it holds.
The first element that becomes apparent in the song "Kill You" by EMINEM is the anger of the artist. This is punctuated by the sharp staccato music in a minor key. Minor keys are often used to convey somber mood
| 1398 | Book Review & Critique: Pocahontas
Pocahontas is not simply a historical figure-she is a Disney icon, part of American mythology and its self-concept of what constitutes its early heritage. But Camilla Townsend suggests that the image of the native girl, begging with her father Powhatan to free the white man has no basis in fact, and is entirely a creation of the self-mythologizing of John Smith in his memoirs of his leadership of the Jamestown colony. Townsend hopes to paint a truer portrait of a historical figure we know little about and also to use the life of Pocahontas to debunk some of the most cherished myths that Americans have about their national origin.
Pocahontas' plea to her father was not a spontaneous act of affection, but was part of the traditional ritual
| 621 | Reflections of Nature in 19th Century American Painting
Two remarkably different works of art in the Metropolitan Museum of Art's American Wing present us with astounding reflections of the changing role of nature in the art of the 19th century. In this essay, I will examine two paintings, Heart of the Andes by Frederick Edwin Church and Fur Traders Descending the Missouri in order to examine the evolution of the role of nature in painting at a pivotal point in art history - the mid-19th century.
When first encountering Frederick Edwin Church's oil on canvas painting Heart of the Andes in the American Wing of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, one is immensely struck by the enormity of the painting, which must have enraptured viewers when the painting was first unveiled by its creator in 1859
| 1097 | Teen Advice: Skin, Makeup, Hair, and Nail
Skin Care:
During the high school years, acne is the most common skin problem. Almost
everybody has acne to some degree between the ages of 12 and 20, but some people get it
much worse than others. Many times, you can make a mild case of acne much worse by
trying to make it better. The cause of acne is too much of an oily substance called sebum
that is produced in large amounts in teenage years. When dead skin cells or dirt clog up
hair follicle pores in the skin, a blackhead forms blocking sebum from coming out.
When excess sebum collects in other places under the skin, a whitehead forms instead of
a blackhead.
Probably the only time that you can "fix" a pimple is when a blackhead or whit
| 2412 | Film Analysis: Multiculturalism in Remember the Titans and Crash
The films Remember the Titans (2000) and Crash (2004) are both heavily weighted in significant social messages. Those messages, combined with filmmaking techniques, result in interesting and, in the case of Remember the Titans, entertaining film watching. This essay explores the relationships between the film making and the social messages in both films by analyzing the messages, and the film making techniques.
Crash is an action/thriller crime film with a diverse cast starring Sandra Bullock, as Jean Cabot; Don Cheadle, as Detective Graham Waters; Brendan Fraser, as Bullock's husband, Rick Cabot; Matt Dillion, as Officer John Ryan; and a cast that is well suited to this mean streets film. The cinematography matches the genre, and whe
| 1022 | The Killer Angels
The Killer Angels is a tale of one of the bloodiest battles, in the bloodiest war that America ever waged-the Civil War. The book is a work of fiction in that it unabashedly reconstructs personal narratives of different historical protagonists, and attempts to give a moment-by-moment historical account of the various participants involved in the war that goes beyond what historians know from documents and records of the period. The book's ultimate aim is similar to that of nonfiction-it wishes to give a balanced rather than a biased perspective of the Battle of Gettysburg.
To weave a compelling tale, Shaara has the benefit of drawing from historical diaries and memoirs, even though he strives to fill in what he does not know in fact, wi
| 967 | Race in Mark Twain's Pudd'nhead Wilson
Mark Twain's novel Pudd'nhead Wilson is a controversial commentary on race, identity and social determination. The action of the novel takes place in a small town in Missouri, called Dawson's Landing, in a society in which the relationship between the white people and the black was still a master-slave relationship. The text tells the story of two boys who are exchanged soon after their birth by Roxana, a slave of Percy Driscoll. The changelings exchange thus more than their names, which are Thomas a Beckett and Valet de Chambers, respectively. They exchange their race, their identity, their social position and even their lives. In an almost Shakespearian vein, Mark Twain joggles with the notion of mistaken or stolen identity. There is a pa
| 2476 | Sexism in the Workplace: Analysis of Why It Is So Bad for Morale
Sexism and sexual harassment are more about power than sex. When you throw in the power relationship of a boss and someone working for him, sexual harassment becomes even worse as a form of behavior. This paper will cover some examples of sexual harassment, and analyze why it is so bad for workplace morale, ethics and the role of women in the workplace. While there may be sexual harassment of women against men, this writer has found the opposite to be much more prevalent. As a result, this paper will focus only on sexual harassment of men against women in the workplace.
When Bill Clinton was caught having a sexual affair with Monica Lewinsky, his reaction may have been similar to many men in his position. After all, he was using a w
| 1207 | Critical Thinking: The Privatization of the Social Security System
The main argument given by the author is that there is no way to effectively prevent benefit cuts from Social Security in the US without an increase in taxes. If the privatization of the US Social Security system were to go ahead and they were required to save a percentage of their earnings then the benefit payouts would vary widely between individuals. Although some people would be able to save substantial amounts before retirement, there would be a large number of people who were unable to save sufficient funds to last them through retirement. In the opinion of the author, any system which does not ensure that the needs of all are met should be considered a failure.
The author explains the reasoning behind this theory in relation to t
| 1166 | Origins of the Republican Party
The Republican Party is often thought of as having a congruent and consistent platform that is reflective of the republican ideology of the forefathers of the US. It must be said that the Republican Party, like any other ideological institution is the result of many years of evolution and development, in response to other movements and the power and personages of its early years. To develop, from an ideal, an organization there must be the inclusion of compromise, personality and conflict and the period between 1854 and 1860 was just such a time in the Republican Party. The period reflects the build up to one of the greatest national conflicts in the history not only of the nation but of the world, the Civil War and the election of the mou
| 7092 | Personal Code of Conduct
As an educator my personal code of conduct spans the following three areas: respect for diversity, commitment to constructive change, and appropriate conduct toward students, colleagues, and community members. Each of these areas are essential for ethical educational practices. Professional organizations like the Association for American Educators (AAE) detail the ethical responsibilities of individual leaders in education.
1. Respect for diversity includes awareness and respect of cultural differences. However, diversity also entails diversity among the student body with regards to learning. Disabilities might lead some students to learn differently than others, or at a diff
| 548 | Article Analysis
1. Determining whether an article is fair depends on a number of things, not the least of which is personal bias. In fact, the bias of the author and the bias of the reader help determine how an article's fairness is perceived. The two articles about OJ Simpson were written from different perspectives, which is no surprise. One of them was an editorial, which was heavy on opinion and speculation, while the other was an informative article, which relied on facts. In addition, one article was written prior to the verdict, the other after the verdict. Despite the different perspectives, both articles appear to be written from a vantage point assuming that Simpson committed the murders of Ronald Goldman and Nicole Simpson. This reader sha
| 1290 | Introduce and Analyze "Eager" by Helen Fox
The purpose of this paper is to introduce and analyze the book "Eager" by Helen Fox. . Specifically it will discuss aspects of the production, authorship, distribution, and significance of the book. "Eager" by Helen Fox is a children's book set in the future. Eager is a new robot acquired by the Bell family when their older model wears out. Eager learns and grows by watching the world around him, making him an advanced type of robot, but not as advanced as the high-priced BDC4s, who become rebellious and dangerous. In the end, Eager helps save the world by saving the company "LifeCorp" when the BDC4s take the founder of the company hostage. In some ways, the storyline is reminiscent of the film "I, Robot" starring Will Smith, without
| 1418 | Quantitative Research: Focuses on Quantifiable Data and Conclusions
Quantitative research was originally used as an approach to studying the natural sciences. Quantitative research focuses on quantifiable data and conclusions. In other words, numerical data and measurements are used in order to draw numerical conclusions from the research. This approach lends itself particularly well to the natural sciences and numerical disciplines, as exact measurements are required for these. Natural scientific language is used for the expression of facts in numerical terms. These digits should be universally acceptable in the scientific research environment, which means that its function should also be unchanged. Such language is then to provide research facts via an explanation of the statistical truth (Hara, 19
| 913 | Bullying as a Form of Harassment and Hazard in the Workplace
Introduction
Along with other health and safety issues and offenses such as sexual harassment or discrimination, workplace bullying has been recognized as one not only a form of harassment, but also as a hazard in the workplace in terms of employee health and safety. Indeed, even lawmakers have come to recognize the legitimacy of the danger inherent in this form of harassment, as can be seen in Australian as well as international legislation. In order to understand the realities of workplace bullying, it is useful to define it by investigating the various manifestations that this offense may take. Workplace bullying can be perpetrated either in a blatant or subtle manner. Subtle bullying is by nature far more damaging than blatant bull
