...The KKK, the Nazis, Westboro Church and ISIS were all awful hate groups who used religion and racial or sexual prejudice to defend their actions. “Prominent religions worldwide preach many similar ideals, some of which include exhibiting kindness to others and living a peaceful life. Although these religions have vastly different teachings, they generally urge followers to be good and fair to one another. However, religious extremist groups claiming to adhere to certain religious ideals often distort the teachings of their faith in order to justify violent acts (Marisa Marstek).” The KKK is a racist group for segregation and black rights. The Nazis were during Hitler’s Germany, they tried to eliminate all Jewish people in the world by sending...

...In order to preserve and protecting the almost extinct animal, specialized equipment and extra expenses are required. The major reason why the almost extinct animals are dying quickly is because they are losing their habitats to human. In order to preserve the animals, the first thing we need is to create suitable habitat for each of the animal; we have to create a comfortable ecosystem where they can breed and increasing their numbers. Creating a fake habitat is not an easy task, importing plants and rocks are the easy part. The harder part is to maintain the suitable temperature, humidity, and keeping a certain level of sanitation. By keeping them in their natural habitat, the chance of their survival will rise tremendously. After creating a habitat, the next task is to keep an eye to each and every of them. Keeping the endangered animals alive is the top priority, sometimes we found them in a bad condition and they need intensive care to be able to live. The extra expenses are required to hire the manpower. Keeping new animals in new environment is not an easy task, they can get a mental disorder because of the shock, and that is why we need to check on their condition periodically. The animals need to be able to adapt to the new environment, so certain stimulus like familiar sound or plants is a huge help. These kinds of equipment are not easily acquired, and they need specialized people who knew the habitat and the behavior of the animal as the observant. Eating disorder...

...INTRODUCTION GROUP 2 (THE ALKALINE EARTH METALS) These elements are categorized as group 2 because they have two electrons in their outer shell, therefore each element in this group will lose two electrons in order to form a 2+. According to RSC (n.d) group 2 elements are all metals with silver-white color. ELEMENT | SYMBOL | No. OF ELECTRONS | Beryllium | Be | 2,2 | Magnesium | Mg | 2,8,2 | Calcium | Ca | 2,8,8,2 | Strontium | Sr | 2,8,18,8,2 | Barium | Ba | 2,8,18,18,2 | TRENDS IN ATOMIC RADIUS The graph below shows that the atomic radius of group 2 elements increases as it descends down the group. (Jim Clark, 2002) “The radius of an atom is governed by the number of layers of electrons around the nucleus due to the pulling power of the nucleus to the outer electrons”(jim clark,2002). For example: Be 1s2 2s2 Mg 1s22s22p63s2 In both atoms the two outer electrons feel a net pull of 2+ from the nucleus. (Jim Clark, 2002) ...

...Hispanic American Minority Group Essay Luke M. Perry Grand Canyon University: NRS-429VN 3/19/2016 Minority Group Essay As a baby nurse here in the valley, I am starting to realize how important it is to know about and educate myself on other cultures. In my short three weeks at the bedside this writer has come across dozens of times that an interpreter was needed to be able to understand and care for them. Out of all these people, clearly the most significant amount of minorities were that of the Hispanic culture. Hispanic minorities are the second largest growing minority group in the United States. In this paper we’re going to talk about the current health status of this minority group, how health promotion is defined by them, and also what health disparities exist for this minority class. First let’s take a look at their current health status in relation to the national average. Hispanic Americans are the biggest ethnic minority population in the United States and account for about one out of every six civilians. According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC, 2016) by 2035 that number could jump to one in every four. “Heart disease and Cancer in Hispanics are the two leading causes of death, accounting for approximately two out of five deaths, which is nearly equivalent to the white population” (CDC, 2016). Out of the ten leading causes of death in Americans, this population has a lower death rate than whites in all categories with only a few exceptions...

...adolescents’ personalities, which are encouraged in these cliques. Some typical types of teen cliques that are observed include: geeks, jocks, outsiders, hipsters, preps, and nerds. An in-vivo observation was conducted at Riverside High School in Greenville, South Carolina of both preps and nerds in a tenth grade social studies classroom. Both groups consisted of four girls, which at the time of observation, were working on a cooperative learning activity involving the history of the United States. This activity involved making a timeline of the American Civil War between the Union and Confederate armies and reconstruction. For the prep group, a powerful, yet unstable social hierarchy occurred that structured the interactions between group members; rare is the group where all members enjoy equal amounts of authority, status differentiation almost always takes place. One member was observed to be the leader or “queen bee,” two sidekicks, and another a floater. The leader first maintained power over group membership by inviting only her clique to be a part of the project group; another student was even rejected by the group when the leader stated the group was full, even though there was no cap on size given in the instructor’s directions at the beginning of the class period. This leader’s style matches the leader-member exchange theory. It was observed that the leader gave the...

...Tanya Barrientos is the author of the essay “Se Habla Espanol”. Barrientos, originally borned in Guatemala, was raised in Texas. I really enjoyed this essay. It was very truthful and full of emotions. The main point in this essay I believe is how the world views certain groups and how their views of them are. Stereotyping occurs outside and within the person or group. This essay speaks of a female who was born in Guatemala, who is clearly Latino on the outside down to the color of her skin. She moved with her family to the United States when she was three years old so she is completely Americanized on the inside. She is struggling with her race and the stereotypes that go with it. She should be able to speak Spanish but she is still trying to learn the language up into adulthood. She also criticizes her own heritage with stereotyping; stating in the essay “To me, speaking Spanish translated into being poor.” (Roen, 2010) She enjoys in some parts to defy the stereotypes. This is found in when her and her brother went to start school and the teacher showed negativity with saying “You people. Your children are always behind…” (Roen, 2010) They proved to the teacher that they are very capable of keeping up and also exceeding past the others. You can see the internal race struggle within Barrientos throughout the essay. She thought it a compliment when others told her she didn’t seem “Mexican”. She didn’t want the label of being from Mexico which meant poor, dirty, and lazy...

...This pack contains tasks for discussion in lectures and tasks for preparation and discussion in tutorials. Please refer to the lecture PowerPoint slides to understand the purpose of these tasks in the lectures. Lecture 2 Task Standing on the shoulders of giants: Summarising and Paraphrasing Sources A researcher is investigating how different universities approach the issue of academic integrity. He has found the following case study on the website of iParadigms, which developed the software package Turnitin for plagiarism detection. He decides he wants to use some of the information in the report. Strengthening Honour Codes through Plagiarism Detection[1] Academic integrity was suffering at the University of Colorado at Boulder. Each of the university’s schools had an ethics committee to investigate charges of academic dishonesty, but there was no uniformity in how standards were applied or enforced. There was also no mechanism for sharing information between schools regarding serial cheaters. And because it was faculty-run, the students had little investment in the system and therefore took it lightly. To address these shortcomings, the University reinvented their approach to honour codes on campus. Instead of faculty-run ethics committees for each school, they established a Student Honor Code Council, serving the entire campus, which was responsible for writing the honor code and evaluating cases of honour code violations. The university administration, faculty...

...Summary of “Why Are Looks the Last Bastion of Discrimination?” Deborah L. Rhode has written several books based on race and gender. She wrote one essay titled “Why Are Looks the Last Bastion of Discrimination”. In this essay Rhode states that workers have been discriminated based on their attractiveness, also individuals seeking employment have also been declined a job or have been given a job based of their looks. In the essay Rhode argues that there should be a law established in the United States that is against looks discrimination. According to Rhode, the United States has made many laws in the past years to protect groups of people that are being discriminated based on sex, religion, race, or disability, yet there is no official law protecting employees that are being discriminated on their looks. Since there is no law that protects a person from this kind of discrimination, it is allowing corporations to discriminate an employment seeker, or a current employee based on his or her appearance. Rhode claims that companies discriminate people on their looks, because attractiveness is “job-related” and they want a person with an attractive appearance to represent their company. Deborah L. Rhode states that “beauty is in the eye of the beholder” and the fact that a boss has the power to say who is “attractive” or “unattractive” really gives employees a disadvantage in their job. This limits the person to show how good they can turn out to be in a certain job. Rhode insists...

...This is my writing experiences and history. I started with creative writing which I never completed and for school and then writing an essay on a subject which I just read a book on for homeschooling. When there was a deadline I always got it finished and as quick as possible and then making sure there is no grammar or spelling mistakes. My biggest weakness is that I procrastinate and will not sometimes finish a project. I will get anything done on time if there is a set deadline but otherwise will not usually get finished. My approach to English assignments is to get an idea, and then get it written or typed down, and then work on the grammar and spelling, and look for any missed punctuation. I spell much better than I did years ago from...
