...Tuskegee Study Ezequiel W. Ferreras EN1320 - Composition 1 ITT Technical Institute ABSTRACT This paper is to prove how the Tuskegee study was morally and ethically wrong. Many of the men involved in the study died due to the experiments. This study has made it important for all patients to understand their options for treatment and outcomes and know that they have a choice. Any one can deny treatment if they wish to do so. Many doctors devote their lives to their patients and have learned from this major medical error. Tuskegee Study Some people may believe they don’t need to try as hard if they already achieved their goal, but if a physician does not do their best a patient can die and if no one did their best then there would be no doctors, lawyers or even teachers. However, when you apply the unethical concepts in this study it violates the professional code of ethics and the moral reasoning of the study. Albeit it is for a test to make history the obligations of a nurse are very important and must be followed. In Miss Evers’ Boys, physicians investigate in a medical study that takes place in Tuskegee Alabama, which dealt with watching African-American subjects discover the effects of untreated syphilis. The major objective of the study was to search for African-American males in the second stage of syphilis, and then from time to time perform exams on these men to find out the effects that syphilis had on their bodies.

...Bitterly Subject: Student Introduction Writing has always been a task for me that I do not enjoy. I mean don’t get me wrong, it’s not the writing so much that I dislike but more the formatting. That is why I am really dreading this course. I remember writing as far back as in the early years of elementary school. When I would just pick up a pen and write about whatever was on the top of my mind. This could range from some wise tale that a young boy with a growing imagination would think about or a real life story that I would encounter while hunting in the woods with my dad. It was fun back then because there were no worries about proofreading or formatting. The biggest worry I had at that point was spreading my words out as far as I could and seeing how many sheets of paper that I could use so that mine would be longer than my buddies. As the years went on I guess you could say that I always “winged it” when it came to the writing part of the classes. I always waited until the last minute to do any research paper that I had and always managed to get a decent grade on everything, somehow. Once I got older I realized that I could not procrastinate as much because I would run out of time. I flew through English 1301 but struggled a little more with 1302. My memory of those classes and most of the stuff I learned is pretty shady since I took both of them about four years ago, so that means I will just have to do some extra studying for this class. The next year after...

...Is It Worth It Or Not? Social Psychology Paper Scenario March 23, 2014 University of Phoenix PSY/201 FOUNDATIONS OF PSYCHOLOGY Is it Worth it or Not? In the scenario of 15 year old Sarah it is evident that Sarah made some poor choices that were out of character for her. As we see in the reading Sarah is a A student, is for the most part responsible and obedient. Sarah begins school and meets a new set of friends and is exploring her rule boundaries. As Sarah begins to hang out with this new crowd she begins to test those boundaries and goes to a party that she knows she should not have gone to and breaks her parents strict curfew. While this is out of character for Sarah it is not uncommon for teenagers to push boundaries in an effort to develope and test their independence. There were several factors that contributed to Sarah’s uncharacteristic behavior such as her having new friends and wanting to fit in, the fact that she had never been to a party before, and her desire to continue being invited out by these new friends. Sarah’s friends peer pressured her into going to this party by telling her how much fun it was going to be, and how much she would be missing if she didn’t go to the party. This was the biggest reason Sarah broke curfew, because she wanted to fit in with the new crowd and might have been afraid that they wouldn’t invite her again if she didn’t go and it would affect her social life. Sarah displays cognitive...

Kanyam resort lays aside the beautiful tea garden of Kanyam, Ilam. One could view the scenic views of Nepal as well as Indian hills when sky is clear. The climate was very cool when they reached. He was deeply dragged by the green hills. He beheld beautiful hills on the horizon, veiled partly with clouds….gurgling sound of small rivulet, chirping of birds etc. etc. Simpson wondered why people fancy leaving such a beautiful place and fly abroad. Ecologically speaking, he is in such a place where numerous rare species regard it a safer habitat to live in. Economically speaking, he is in a third world with a remittance-fed economy. But geopolitically speaking, he is in such a strategic location where power centers prefer to play. And statistically speaking, he was in south Asia where half of the world’s poor people live in. However spiritually speaking, every black cloud has silver lining. Dr. Simpson was mechanically sipping a handmade tea of Kanyam. He came to the real world when editor broke the silence. ‘So, how can I help you sir?’ editor told. ‘I am preparing a research paper on “How to stop brain drain from conflicting nations?’’ I’ve heard much from Kathmanduize about Hope magazine. I also came to know that your magazine is the only national paper based...

...favorite, so therefore I learned a lot about them from him; however, he has never been a fan of The Who. Therefore, I was rather excited when I was assigned a research paper on The Who; a band who I really knew nothing about before American Popular Music. In the following paper, I will provide details about The Who’s individual band members’ lives, as well as information in relation to the band in general. The Who had four main members: Pete Townshend, Roger Daltrey, John Entwistle, and Keith Moon. In addition to being the band’s guitarist, Pete Townshend took on the roll as the primary song writer. The most interesting fact I found about Townshend, is that he owns his own book publishing company. He actually published a book of his own called “Horse’s Neck” which consisted of a variety of short stories. Townshend has maintained a musical interest throughout his life, even after The Who broke up in 1983 (The Who Official Band Website). Roger Daltrey has always been a passionate musician; to the point where he even designed many of the bands guitars (The Who Official Band Website). Recently, Daltrey’s passion for music resurfaced. According to Mayer Nissim, a reporter for Digital Spy, “Roger Daltrey has confirmed that he is to tour The Who's 1969 album Tommy in full.” This article is from April 27th, 2011. Through further research, I found that the band had joined again in 2006 and released their first album in twenty-four years (The Who Official Band Website). The upcoming tour will...

...The Zimbardo Research and its Effect on the Participants Jennifer Ashley Reese PSYCH/620 June 20, 2016 JD Wehrman The Zimbardo Research and its Effect on the Participants A faculty member from Stanford University, Dr. Phillip Zimbardo, did an experiments that changed Social Psychology forever. He put an ad in the newspaper in 1971 for participants (students) to study prison life for the amount of 15 dollars a day for two weeks. Back in the early seventies, fifteen dollars was an acceptable amount for the time period for the day. Over the 75 applicants, two dozen were randomly picked by looking at their applicants for normality and healthy lives to begin with. The people were divided into two groups, the ‘prisoners’ and ‘guards’. The ‘guards’ helped set up the prison and picked their outfits to help them ‘get into their role’. The ‘prisoners’ were arrested by real city police to help them get that experience of being arrested. The ‘guards’ blindfolded the ‘prisoners’ to their location, the basement of the police station to start the experiment (Classic, 2007). The guards were to strip search the prisoners, delouse them to get the effect of what real prisons do to their prisoners. The next day, the guards used ‘force with force’ when the prisoners rebelled against obedience. The guards stripped the prisoners and put the prisoners in the hole for rebelling and took everything except air as a privileges such as food, clothes, bed etc. (Classic, 2007). To maintain order and...

...For public figures, gender decides what is “normal” and what is wrong. If celebrities don’t conform to that idea, all eyes are on them. The same theory applies to everyday people: girls do one thing and boys do another, if you don’t fit your role then you are different and unacceptable. I believe that gender is just an identifier, and that it should not determine what we should like to do. My ideas about gender differ from most opinions because I broke most of the stereotypes associated with gender before I was 14. I like sports, I’m good with tools, men’s clothes are comfy, etc. If people are doing what they want to, that is what matters. If your opinion differs, keep it to...

...Research Paper CS-310 Summer, 2013 People all over the world use computers and the Internet for just about everything from shopping to paying bills, and research to leisurely searching for whatever their interests lay. Computers are now in almost every school, home, and business. They have helped increase productivity and made our lives so much easier. Due to the ease computers have made, it has also opened a door for a new breed of criminal. Cybercrime is on the rise. Cybercriminals use the Internet to spread their viruses, worms, and other hacking tools, like phishing, to steal people’s identity or sign them up for expensive services, which they reap the profits. However, some of these criminals do it for thrill of the chase. According the reading CompCriminal.doc there are two types of cybercriminals, the non-professional hacker and the professional hacker. Another form a cyber-attack called the DoS attack or denial-of-service. “The attack is designed to paralyze websites, financial networks and other computer systems by flooding them with data from outside computers.” (James, 2009). The first document case of a DoS attack was in 2000 by a 15-year old Canadian boy nicknamed “Mafiaboy”. This attack was against several e-commerce sites including eBay.com and Amazon.com. There have been several other hackers prior to “Mafiaboy”. Two of the notorious cybercriminals were Kevin Mitnick and Robert Morris. In 1982, Mitnick...

...the mystery for over two hundred years. Yet engineers, rich people, divers, builders and even a U.S President tried very hard to discover what is buried on the bottom of the pit. Is it possible that it could be Captain William Kidd's treasure? Could it be the crown jewels of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinetter? In my research paper I will first be explaining about the history of the mysterious "Oak Island "Money Pit". Next I will be explaining some of the techniques that were used to dig up and dry up the "Money pit". Finally I will present three theories of the content of the pit and how the seawater keeps seeping in the pit. From what i been reading although many interesting things have been found in the pit which are supporting the idea of something special being buried there, no finding up to this point has been conclusive. Everything started when a mere boy was hunting on a deserted island off the coast of Nova Scotia, Canada in 1795. In "Mystery Island Baffles Treasure Hunters" by Edwin Teale, he explains how, "One day, early in the year 1893, a young insurance salesman in Amherst, Nova Scotia, listened to tale of buried treasure. Nearly a century before, three boys had explored a "haunted" island off the Nova Scotia coast, an island covered with exotic oaks with elmlike tops. Here they stumbled upon a curious depression in the sod. Digging near the spot, successive parties of treasure hunters had uncovered riddle after...

...cases of CTE that have resulted in permanent damage or death over the course of the last 15 years. The reality behind concussions is that there will never be a total solution to the issue, in contact sports the danger will always be there. We must continue to raise awareness and develop protective equipment to minimize the risk. Concussions are one of the leading causes of CTE among all professional athletes toady. Mike Webster retired in 1991 from the NFL and the Pittsburg Steelers after 17 years in the “pit” and made an attempt at a normal life, a short time into this journey it became apparent that “Iron Mike” was not the Mike Webster that his wife of 27 years had known, his marriage failed he was a horrible father to his boys and was soon broke and homeless. How did this happen? How could this happen to the iconic figured in his own beloved city? “Iron Mike” suffered numerous concussions in the “pit” a term used for the line of scrimmage in football.

If I become a teacher in a different town or part of the state it is important to research demographics and I now have some sources to reference. I plan to use what I have learned by referencing the handout provided and really using the diversity within my classroom as a benefit. A respectful outlook from teachers and students was one of most mentioned teacher tips. In an interview a Somalian immigrant mother said “I think children learn to be scared of my children.

...become parents of a child from another country, and bring them to permanently live in their home (US Department of State, 2013). There are several reasons for which parents would adopt which will be discussed further. Inevitably the adopted child will have different experiences throughout life as opposed to the biological child. Beginning at a very early age where the child may not know that they are adopted, continuing into the developmental years and through to adulthood, the adoptee will have many experiences that are mostly issues of the adopted community. These experiences can have a profound effect on the adoptee both socially and psychologically, and will affect the direction in which they take their life. Through research, case studies, and interviews, this paper will focus on the impact that adoption has on the adoptee, as well as the parents that adopt, and critically analyze several relevant sub-topics. Background of the Topic Adoption as a whole began as an option in the United States. Beginning as a legal device began in 1851 in Massachusetts, the first laws were passed to allow judges to reassign parental rights from one person to another. Because of the Civil War and other conflicts, there were many orphaned children without care. Charles Loring Brace, a minister who founded the Children’s Aid Society of New York in 1853 began to find homes for the orphans across the Unites States. Between 1859 and 1929, Loring placed over 200,000 orphans with adoptive parents. At the...
