...The Civil Rights Movement The civil rights movement is a very diverse subject. There are many different opinions on this subject and many political changing events follow this movement. Some of the struggles during the civil rights movement were covered through the media in such a fashion that it could have gone either way. I found an article stating, and I quote “Majority Queried In Times Survey Say, Negro Movement Has Gone Too Far, But Few Intend To Change Votes.” –New York Times (Sept. 21st 1964). Now another person questioned in this poll, and I quote “That many neighborhoods have always been known as ‘tough’, but they were white tough neighborhoods, if you know what I mean.” He added, “It was tough to a point, and no more. Now with colored it is a different kind of toughness, it is fear I guess.” I feel like with this last comment that this man had said, it is absolutely true of how the public viewed the civil rights movement, it was a fear, a fear of uncertainty of how to live with each other after being segregated for so long. In during this time the term ‘white backlash’ was used as a term used to give an indication that their voting habits were affected by the changes that has occurred in the civil rights act. Martin Luther King Jr. displayed a method of non violent protests which he referred to as a method of peaceful protest by oppressed people. From the article I read I quote “In a classical non violent situation the oppressed engage in mass demonstrations or in...

...Nonviolent resistance essay Allover the world people try to prove their point; some of the ways that they do that is by getting noticed. There are lots of ways that people try to be noticed some are violent ways and some are non-violent. Personally I think that non-violent resistance is the best method because nobody gets hurt and the resistors gain respect. One example of a successful non-violent resistance movement was the bus boycott. Rosa Parks was sitting in the front of the bus, while she was sitting there a white man told her to go to the back of the bus. Rosa Parks refused and she was arrested for not listening to the man. In return all of the African Americans quit riding the buses and walked to school and work. The bus companies struggled financially because a large number of their customers were black. Eventually the bus companies gained respect for the African Americans. Another good example of a successful non-violent resistance movement was the EPHS teacher strike. The teacher strike was successful because it gave the community awareness on what was happening in the school system. The teachers simply didn’t go to work and they stood on the streets and protested. The school board realized that what the teachers wanted would benefit our education so the teachers and the school board compromised. Another good example of a good non-violent resistance movement was John Lennon’s, “in bed for peace”. John and his newly wed wife were against the Vietnam War so...

...“Reptile Blood a cure” Amy Parsons HCA/210 September 10, 2012 Cathy Wilburn Abstract In this paper, I will inform you of the ways that Reptile blood has been tested in hopes of finding cures for different diseases. There are several people testing the reptilian blood in experiments to help find a cure for a number of diseases. The thought of using a reptile’s blood to cure someone is a strange one. However, it was brought to the attention of Dr. Mark Merchant, of McNeese State University, that crocodiles, as well as other reptiles, heal with a great deal of quickness. He wondered how they could fight with such aggression and remain healthy. They fight to the points, sometimes, that they rip off limbs and expose bone and muscle. Then they swim off, into mucky, filthy water and yet they still do not get any kind of major infection. Humans exposed to the same type of battles and the same disgusting water they would have a devastating outcome, possibly death. This gave him and others ideas to check into their blood to see if they had something humans lacked. In 1998, Dr. Merchant found that American Alligators have a powerful antibiotic in their blood. Dr. Merchant demonstrated the “unscientific” evidence suggesting that reptile are resistant to bacterial infection. He identified reasons these creatures were immune to infection. Like humans, they have a natural defense system against invading bacteria, viruses, and fungi, which involves a group of proteins...

...Hollywood has a way of turning real life events appear dramatically different from the real life experience. They want to show what people want to see rather than what really happened. Violence and sex sell so that’s often what they tell. Hollywood can take a real life event such as the protest in Seattle against the WTO and turn it into a completely different story to make it sell. The movie Battle in Seattle is meant to be a story about the protests against the WTO but it doesn’t exactly tell the truth of how the protest actually happened, yes it does follow the story correctly but it is enhanced to make it more seem more appealing to the general population. On November 30, 1999 protesters lined up all over the main streets of Seattle to block the World Trade Organization from having a meeting at the Washington State Convention. They had planned a nonviolent protest against the WTO. They sought nonviolent training “which was a three hour course that combined the history and philosophy of non violence with real life practice through role plays in staying calm in tense situations, using nonviolent tactics, responding to brutality, and making decisions together” (How We Really Shut Down the WTO, Starhawk.). According to the article the police weren’t prepared for nonviolence. They were completely foreign to the thought of a nonviolent protest. I understand as to why they were not prepared for a nonviolent protest. There have been a lot of protests that have turned into riots...

...Jay Patel Professor David Headman Philosophy of Nonviolence 2-18-13 Is Violence The Answer When we were growing up all we heard our parents say is violence is not the answer and of course they were right, but as we got older we saw changes in the world we lived, which changed our views of if what our parents told us was true. The use of violence shows strength and power of a country or a group of people. The more powerful you are the more people fear you and would not dare to challenge your authority, which in turn helps the more powerful nation get away with a lot of cruelty. Using nonviolence on the other hand shows more of a peaceful way of fighting for what the people believe in without anybody getting hurt physically. Achieving things nonviolently shows others that they are not here to use force or to take over but to send a statement. I believe that both violence and nonviolence is necessary in the world we live in today. Violence is key to survival because it gives us the ability to protect ourselves, and our nation. Machiavelli says that there is no code that can be applied to our nation or leaders because we need power to have protection and control, and to get power one must use violence (Steger 24). I think that Machiavelli makes a great point about using violence to protect the people because having security makes our country what it is today, and the United States is the greatest country because we use violence to protect the people that live here...

...diet such as this may improve insulin resistance and hyperglycemia, thereby decreasing the risk for the development of type 2 diabetes. Since type 2 diabetes is a worldwide health problem, this information could change the incidence of this disease significantly. Diet plays an important role in preventing and controlling diabetes. Nine random clinical trials were used to compile the information in this article. Six of these were from the United States, one was from the United Kingdom, and two were conducted in Iran. Included in these trials were 453 adult men and 786 adult women. All participants were between the ages of 21 and 69 years old. The random clinical trials lasted a range of 3-24 weeks total. The authors of the article used these nine trials to compile data on the effects of the DASH diet on three main components effecting the development of diabetes. Studies were done using information from these trials using data for fasting insulin, fasting blood glucose, and fasting HOMA-IR. These studies did not show a significant reduction of fasting blood glucose, nor did they find the DASH diet had a significant effect of HOMA-IR. However, they did show a significant reduction of fasting insulin concentration when the diet was prescribed for longer than 16 weeks. Durations less than 8 weeks showed no significant reduction except in those with metabolic syndrome and hyperlipidemia. Observational data from the Insulin Resistance Atherosclerosis Study (IRAS)...

...increases, so does the current (flow of charges). If the resistance increases, the current flow decreases. Voltage (volts) Current (amps) = --------------------------------------------Resistance (ohms, ) To work through this skill sheet, you will need the symbols used to depict circuits in diagrams. The symbols that are most commonly used for circuit diagrams are provided to the right. If a circuit contains more than one battery, the total voltage is the sum of the individual voltages. A circuit containing two 6 V batteries has a total voltage of 12 V. [Note: The batteries must be connected positive to negative for the voltages to add.] If a toaster produces 12 ohms of resistance in a 120-volt circuit, what is the amount of current in the circuit? Given The resistance (R) is 12 ohms. The voltage (V) is 120 volts. Looking for The amount of current (I) in the circuit. Relationships V I = -R Solution 120 volts I = V = --------------------- = 10 amps -R 12 ohms The current in the toaster circuit is 10 amps.

...A. Discuss a rise of imperialism or colonialism in an area of the world- North America The rise of imperialism in North America stemmed from the widely held belief that America occupies a “special” niche among other nations of the world in terms of its national credo, historic evolution, political and religious institutions and origin (Wikipedia, 2014). It was a widely held belief that the early settlers had a Manifest Destiny to expand throughout the continent and beyond (Wikipedia, 2014). Historians agree for the most part that there are three basic themes to Manifest Destiny. a. The special virtues of the American people and their institutions b. American’s mission to redeem and remake the west in the image of agrarian America c. An irresistible destiny to accomplish this essential duty (Miller, 2008). 1. The indigenous peoples, with very few exceptions, reacted violently and there was a great loss of life including the complete genocide of some native populations (Miller, 2008). B.

...AAntibiotics Antibiotics are a chemical which work by being either bactericidal where they kill microorganisms; or by being bacteristatic where they inhibit the growth of the microorganisms. Narrow spectrum antibiotics target specific reaction in particular microorganisms; whereas broad spectrum antibiotics will have an effect on more general features so affect a wide range of pathogens. They work by cell wall synthesis: an example of a bactericidal antibiotic is Penicillin, this works by preventing the production of peptidoglycan which is a substance that forms in the cell wall. This means the cell will continue to grow without dividing or developing new cell wall Therefore, the wall gets weaker, and eventually ruptures. Another way antibiotics works is by protein synthesis: an example of a bacteriostatic antibiotic is Tetracycline, it binds to ribosomes in bacteria this means the cell cannot make proteins and therefore inhibits growth. The benefits of using antibiotics is that it helps people with weakened immune systems, it can treat many infections such as strep throat, tonsillitis and sinusitis, it is easy to administer since you can take them orally or via injection, it has few side effects and is cost effective. However issues concerning antibiotics are allergic reactions depending on your drug allergies you may be extremely allergic to some types of antibiotics, such as those containing sulfa. Unfortunately, sulfa is present in many common antibiotics, so it...

...What Made Nonviolence Work? Nonviolence should be tolerated and has 3 leaders to back it up. What paths did it take for Gandhi, King, and Mandela to achive thier goals? Three main ideas in this essay included Breaking laws, Maintaining disipline, and Accepting jail time. Breaking laws included nonviolent protests. This form of disobedience took place when Gandhi fought for his freedom. This shows how motivational Gandhi was and how he created change through Civil disobedience. In document one written by Gandhi, it explains the Salt March, and how laws were broken during that time. Nonviolence has more of a necessity than an option for these people. Nonviolence is handled in methods of principles vs tactics. This second bit of information comes from document 3, where Nelson Mandela wrote his thoughts about nonviolence. Mandela called this form of nonviolence Saryagraha a tactic, that seeks tkok conquer through conversion. Nonviolence is expressed through many thoughts and ideas. Basically, if you didn't abey, you were beaten. If you refused to be beaten, then you were beaten worse. They maintained their disipline throughout. In May of 1930 Webb Miller expressed how crule, and brutal beating were. It says that the western mind finds it difficult to grasp nonresistance (Doc 4). The definence of unjust laws was dangerous. This point was expressed from Mandela (Doc 6). In document 4 the basic idea is to show the truth of things. It was harder in india than it was here. ...

...Type 2 diabetes, once known as adult-onset or noninsulin-dependent diabetes, is a chronic condition that affects the way our body metabolizes sugar. With type 2 diabetes, the body either resists the effects of insulin — a hormone that regulates the movement of sugar into cells — or doesn't produce enough insulin to maintain a normal glucose level (Type 2 Diabetes, 2012). This condition is very prevalent in the United States with approximately 26 million Americans being affected (Stoppler, 2012). Of this 26 million, type 2 diabetes accounts for up to 95 percent of all cases (One-Third of Adults, 2006). However, even with these significant numbers, it’s found that about 2.8 percent of U.S. adults or one-third of those with diabetes, still are unaware of their condition. This is substantial considering that if left untreated, type 2 diabetes can lead to blindness, kidney failure, nerve damage, and over time, can be life-threatening. In an attempt to lower these numbers, the government, sponsored organizations, and other groups have developed websites explaining signs, symptoms, prevention, risk factors, etc. of type 2 diabetes. Nonetheless, are these websites beneficial? Are they easy to scroll through and find information, or could they be improved to better meet the needs of the average website browser? The first website I chose to critique was the website for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Overall, this website was very easy to browse through. They clearly...

...Gandhi was a non-violent leader of Indian independence. He worked tirelessly to improve the rights for Indiana immigrants in South Africa. In South Africa is where he learned his passive resistance against injustice. When he returned to India, after being in South Africa, it was not long before he was in the forefront of the struggle for independence from Britain. He protested many of the injustices in British ruled India. His protest of the tax on salt landed him in jail, in 1930. Gandhi also protested the railroads, built by the British. He said they contributed to the greed and poverty of India. Making a select few rich and paying the large amount of laborers next to nothing. In 1906, Gandhi started his peaceful, non-violent revolution. Gandhi declared he would go to jail, or even die, before submitting to the British, ridiculous laws. Many times his peaceful demonstrations were met with violent resistance. Which reiterated the fact the British was oppressing the people of India. These demonstrations resulted in mass arrests of the protestors. Still, that did deter Gandhi and his followers from peacefully protesting British rule. Gandhi and his followers ended British rule over India. They did so without delivering a single blow. Their peaceful protests proved effective in the independence of India and liberating its people from oppression. Through Gandhi’s gentleness and determination, the people of India were freed. Many people considered him a saint...

...Screening and Decolonization of MRSA in the Preoperative Patient Suzanne Miller Aspen University HUM410 Abstract Staphylococcus aureus is the most common organism responsible for surgical site infections. The colonization of Methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has been identified as a significant risk factor for patients undergoing orthopedic surgery, putting this patient at a higher risk of developing a surgical site infection. Screening preoperatively and treating colonization is a tool to aid in the prevention of surgical site infections in patients undergoing elective joint surgery. Results of various studies of patients undergoing elective joint replacement surgery have been reviewed. A nasal swab was obtained and cultured during preadmission testing. If the culture showed that the patient was positive for MRSA colonization they were treated with nasal mupirocin. They also were instructed to bathe with surgical wipes containing chlorhexidine prior to the procedure. The results of the research suggest that the use of a screening protocol prior to surgery can decrease the risk of MRSA in the postoperative patient. Table of Contents 1.
