...Many have come to the understanding that the First World War was started by the killing of Archduke Francis Ferdinand, the one to accept the crown of Austria-Hungary. Many have been told that America, who was initially a neutral party, was brought into the fray after the killing of American citizens on the ocean liner the Lusitania. This however is not the whole truth. There was a plan to bring America into the war for financial gain and eventually international victory even before the war itself started. According to The Freemen Digest in the 1950’s Norman Dodd a Yale alumni became the director of research for the Reese Committee who was in charge of investigating the tax exemption of 12 foundations that control nearly all of the American capital. During this investigation he was invited to check the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace documents as well. In his findings he saw that six years before World War I there was a question and solution to change a nation of people’s way of life. The answer was war. The next questions led the same foundations that were under tax exemption investigation into the decision of taking power in the State Department. After power was influenced and the war began a letter was sent to the president to ensure that WWI was dragged on. (Chadwick) Years after the war a committee was started by Gerald Nye, the Senator of North Dakota to search into the initial causes of the war. After years of searching the Nye committee discovered...

...Whether negative or positive, stereotypes are common among all races and religions and provide people with an idea about who someone is without getting to know them. For Muslim people the stereotyping has gone beyond making assumptions about people, it has progressed to a level where numerous people have openly shown prejudice and discrimination towards Muslim people by American citizens (Croucher et al. 2013). The media has brought a lot of attention to the various terrorist attacks and wars in Iraq, so when American citizens see a person in their town wearing religious attire similar to what they've seen on television, the natural reaction is to be afraid and suspicious. This stereotyping has not been harmless as some people might believe,...

...LAPD police officer was shot and killed in the effort of saving his partner by the Mexican cartel in his effort his partner survived to tell the heroic story of how his partner saved his life. No law enforcement official or civilian should be in fear of getting shot because one is doing their job or one has on a certain color on in a certain neighborhood. The last reason why more guns laws should be passed is because the gun violence in terrorism. Gun violence within terrorism has been one of the largest causes of death in the U.S. between 2001 and 2014. Over 3,000 people have died from a terrorist attack by a gun in the last two decades. One example would be the terroristic attack at an Army/Navy recruiting center in 2009. Abdul Akim Mujahid Muhammad went into an Army/ Navy recruiting center killing a recruiter and wounding another. No American should have to fear to go to a recruiting center and be in fear of every person who walks through the door and kill him or her because we don't have the same beliefs or because they live in the United States. That is another reason why more gun laws should be passed. In conclusion, gun violence is a big issue throughout the United States. As a citizen of the United States, you should not have to fear for your life or lock your doors every time one sees a group of individuals walking through a parking lot. More laws dealing with guns should be put into places so that as citizens as the united states feel safe in our homes and cars. Let's...

...diagnosed (Carter, DiFeo, Bogie, Zhang, & Sun, 2014). A critical knowledge gap prevails among the public and practitioners where ovarian cancer risks and symptoms are concerned (Carter, DiFeo, Bogie, Zhang, & Sun, 2014). Research Question Research Question: Can increasing Nurse Practitioner knowledge of ovarian cancer symptoms and risk factors improve early detection and diagnosis of ovarian cancer in adult women? The above research question is important to explore because the prospect of early diagnosis of ovarian cancer relies on improving the skill of identifying symptoms. There are no established screening tool available to help detect and diagnose ovarian cancer (Gajjar, Ogden, Mujahid, & Razvi, 2012). Ovarian cancer is difficult to recognize and is usually discovered when it is far gone. Eighty percent of ovarian cancer patients show symptoms while this disease is still contained in the ovaries (Carter, DiFeo, Bogie, Zhang, & Sun, 2014). Symptoms, such as pelvic pain, feeling full quickly, sudden weight gain or weight loss, bloating, frequent urination, fatigue, back pain, prolonged menstruation, and fluid in the stomach are usually missed by the patient and their health care provider because they do not appear to be disease specific. Survival rates would increase if ovarian cancer is detected and treated earlier (Carter, DiFeo, Bogie, Zhang, & Sun, 2014). Research Design...

...On September 11, 2001 terrorists crashed two American airplanes into the World Trade Center (WTC) and the Pentagon, killing thousands of people. It was the worst terrorist attack in American history and it showed us that we are not protected by Atlantic and Pacific. It showed us that we could be attacked by anyone at anytime. It showed us that if we will be attacked again that we can only depend on each other and not on other nations to help us. September 11th changed people forever, some lost family members or friends, others lost their jobs, or their so called “American Dream.” Not only did the attack on the U.S. bring Americans together closer together as a country, it also brought on changes that included the newly developed Department of Homeland Security (DHS). DHS was charged with protecting the country and territories from another terrorist attacks, but also responding to an attack, man-made accident, and natural disasters. If the U.S. had given homeland security as much attention prior to September 11th as it does today, the WTC’s may still be standing. The events on September 11th, 2001 should have never happened to a country with as much resources and technology as the U.S. My review focuses on John Mueller’s article “How Dangerous are the Taliban?” The Taliban was founded in 1994, which is fairly young for organization that is notoriously known for violence. The Taliban began as a small group of students that studied Islam from Afghan refugee camps. The...

...1347, the plague spread to Alexandria in Egypt, most likely through the port's trade with Constantinople. During 1347, the disease went east to Gaza, and north along the eastern coast to cities in Syria, Lebanon, and Palestine, and some of those cities include Acre, Ashkelon, Jerusalem, Sidon, Homs, Damascus, and Aleppo. In 1348–49, the disease spread to Antioch. The city's residents fled to the north, but most of them died, the infection had been spread to the people of Asia Minor after that. Mecca became infected by the plague in 1349. During the exact same year, records show the city of Mawsil lost mostly all its population, and Baghdad experienced a second round of the plague. In 1351 Yemen got infected with the plague, just when King Mujahid from Yemen returned from Cairo, his group could’ve brought the disease with them from Egypt. The Black Death returned to Europe and the Mediterranean in the fourteenth to the seventeenth century. The second wave was mostly widespread during 1360 to 1363, 1374, 1400, 1438 to 1439, 1456–57, 1464 to 1466, 1481 to 1485, 1500 to 1503, 1518 to 1531, 1544 to 1548, 1563 to 1566, 1573 to 1588, 1596 to 1999, 1602 to 1611, 1623 to 1640, 1644 to 1654, and 1664 to 1667. The second wave led to the fleeing of Europe and Northern Africa. In England, the second wave decreased the population from 7 million to 4 million in the 13 century. By the end of 1350, the plague became less violent; however, it never exactly left England. After a few hundred years...
