...Case Study 1: Mr. Nathan Question 1: In my opinion, the most suitable breed (from the list provided) for Mr. Nathan’s needs would the Giant Schnauzer. Mr. Nathan is looking for a dog that can protect him and his auto repair shop, where he lives and conducts business. The Giant Schnauzer is an extremely intelligent dog, who loves his owners and feels great responsibility to protect them and enjoys having a job to do. Due to the breed’s size and looks a GS would be very intimidating to someone who might be considering to harm or steal from Mr. Nathan. Giant Schnauzers are able to easily distinguish between friend or foe, which is an important necessity due to the fact that customers and vendors will be coming and going throughout the day during business hours. Mr. Nathan’s property is also fenced in so that when the business is closed, he will be able to provide an adequate place for his dog to be exercised. He is also financially able to provide for a dog that will need a fair amount of grooming as well all other needs. Question 2: In my opinion, the least appropriate breed (from the list provide) for Mr. Nathan would be the Golden Retriever. Although, they are an intelligent, friendly and devoted breed, which would be an asset for Mr. Nathan and his customers and vendors coming and going during the day. Goldens do not necessarily ‘strike fear’ into someone with the intention to do harm. Case Study 2: Mrs. Smith Question 1: In my opinion, the most suitable...

...Jessica Smith CJ 243 Mr. Chief Moore January 30, 2013 Computer Crimes: Computers as Targets Computer crimes are criminal activities, which involve the use of information technology to gain an illegal or an unauthorized access to a computer system with intent of damaging, deleting or altering computer data. Computer crimes also include the activities such as electronic frauds, misuse of devices, identity theft and data as well as system interference. Computer crimes may not necessarily involve damage to physical property. They rather include the manipulation of confidential data and critical information. Computer crimes involve activities of software theft, wherein the privacy of the users is hampered. These criminal activities involve the breach of human and information privacy, as also the theft and illegal alteration of system critical information ("Types of Computer Crimes"). The three crimes that I thought contained to this case where cyber extortion, Phreaking, and identity theft. Cyber extortion is a form of online crime in which a website, e-mail server, or computer system is subjected to repeated denial of service or other attacks by malicious hackers, who demand money in return for promising to stop the attacks. For example is when Cynthia was instructed to pay four payments of $999.99 through PayPal, but when she cooperated with PayPal, her identity was obtained ("IT Law Wiki"). This is when identity theft came in the case. Identity theft is someone wrongfully...

It is estimated that around 1,000 patients are killed a year that do not ask to die (Smith). In the case that the person has lost means of communication the decision will be made for him or her. Many are afraid that allowing more restricted laws elsewhere will eventually lead to these more extreme laws such as in the United States (US). Those who are pro-assisted suicide would agree the death of children and individuals who cannot communicate should not...

...Reflection Two: Information Management Jessica Quiñones-Gruetzmacher Walden University NURS 6015: Information and Healthcare Technologies Applied to Nursing Practice Dr. Juanita Rass April 15, 2012 Introduction Nurses have various roles when dealing with clients. Some of those roles are caregiver, communicator, teacher, advocate, leader, manager, and researcher. This course has added other roles to the previous list, such as data gatherer, information user, knowledge user and knowledge builder and those roles can be achieved by the use of informatics or nursing informatics (Hebda and Czar, 2009). The purpose for this paper is to reflect on theories, concepts and strategies presented in NURS 6015: Information and Healthcare Technologies Applied to Nursing Practice. NURS 6015 Impact on Personal Attitude Nursing Informatics When this course started my personal attitude was one of skepticism. My thoughts were really negative and crude such as, “how is this course going to help me with my job?”, “is it totally necessary?” or “what is the importance of this course?” Now my way of thinking is one of acceptance, understanding and curiosity. New ideas pop in my head, questions begin to take shape and learning moments start to make sense. All the time spent in my clinical practice is a time for putting the knowledge learned in NURS 6015 into use. “Nurses need to be adept at using patient-centered information technology (IT) tools to access information to expand their...

...American politicians, pastors and psychologists consistently preach the importance of empathy in creating a fair society for everyone. In “ The Baby in The Well,” an essay for the May 20, 2013 issue of The New Yorker, Canadian American Psychologist Paul Bloom makes a shocking case against empathy. He begins making his case by defining empathy, and admitting its conventional wisdom. Bloom then presents numerous situations in which empathy can mislead or has misled us. Finally, he wraps up his argument by asserting that while empathy will drive us to empathize only with someone we identify with, reasoning will ensure that we make the right decisions for the better of society and the world. Bloom achieves...

...Society Jessica Crowel Palm Beach State College Abstract The definition of invisible hand is a term coined by economist Adam Smith in his 1776 book "An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations". It was used to explain what a free market is. A free market is a market system in which the prices for goods and services are set freely by consent between sellers and consumers, in which the laws and forces of supply and demand are free from any intervention by a government, price-setting monopoly, or other authority. Within the healthcare market, a heavily regulated market, there was an opening for VIP care for those that could afford it. It is unregulated and should not be due the fact that the outcome of money paid for the services, pay for bettering the hospital. The Benefactor Society A free-market economy is an economy where all markets within it are unregulated by any parties other than those players in the market. In its purest form the government plays a neutral role in its administration and legislation of economic activity, neither limiting it nor actively promoting it (Meiners, Ringleb, & Edwards, 2011). Within this economy the healthcare market is heavily regulated which causes prices to be high and as well as needs and wants from consumers. The upper class consumers expect a certain level of attention and care. Because of these expectations there was an opening for a new market, VIP patient care. A term used by Adam Smith to describe...

Soon after the image was taken, many false accusations have been made about Abdullah and Alan Kurdi which put Abdullah under a lot of stress. In this essay, I will argue that although the media has brought a lot of attention on refugees such as Kurdi and Hamo. The Kurdi family was making their way to Canada from...

...Foundations of Human Development in the Social Environment Jessica Green BSHS/325 August 29th, 2015 Sandra Mathews Foundations of Human Development in the Social Environment Most of our lives are spent interacting with others. Be it with family, friends, coworkers, or strangers, social interaction is an unavoidable aspect of our lives. Social development is frequently influenced by and influences biological and psychological development. Diversity and cultural competence also affect social development, and general systems theory plays a role in the social order. To better understand how and why humans interact the way we do, these topics will be further expanded on. Bio-Psycho-Social Dimensions of Development There are many facets that work together to create an individual. Human beings are complex, and what influences one part of an individual’s being subsequently influences every part of that person’s life. The biological, psychological, and social dimensions all influence each other and are influenced by each other through dynamic interactions that affect an individual’s entire being (Zastrow & Kirst-Ashman, 2010). Biological and social developments are often easily observable, while psychological development might be more difficult to specify as an outsider, but the effects can be manifested through observable behavior or biological changes. For example, picture a teenage girl that contracts an illness. She is bedridden and misses several weeks of school...

As an example of her problems and pain she once said, "I suffered two grave accidents in my life...one in which a streetcar knocked me down, and the other was Diego. Frida created around 200 paintings related both to her emotional pain and to her relationship with Diego. Out of the 200 paintings and drawings, 55 of them were self-portraits. Her self-portraits and still life were very naïve and filled with colors and forms of Mexican culture. In most of her self-portraits she expresses her pain and emotion in each stroke of her brush. Frida was very true to her Mexican heritage, but in some cases she would make an exception for instance in Mexican Mythology monkeys are symbols of lust, but Frida portrayed them as a tender and protective symbol. She was deeply influenced by her Mexican culture, which is shown in many of her most...

Most importantly I want to find information on possible treatments that would not only allow me to deal with my anxiety in a way that will better my life, but also I need to know how I can help my mother because seeing her deal with this disorder and being able to relate to her pain inspires me to make some changes that will hopefully benefit both of us.

There are three main types of guns that are concentrated on when we about talk gun control. There are handguns, rifles, and shotguns. The two categories of guns that we will talk about in this paper are military style assault rifles and automatic handguns. Why? These are the weapons that criminals want and use.
