...Vaccines: The Right Choice? Alex Hauke Walmart Pharmacy Abstract This research paper takes an in depth look at the question of whether vaccines are the right choice when it comes to your health and staying healthy. Opposing views say that vaccines are unsafe and pose more risks than benefits, this paper explores those claims using rebuttable sources and helps readers to better understand vaccines and what their benefits and risks are. Most believe that the benefits of vaccines far outweigh the risks but some still have doubts and some very rare cases of vaccines causing disease have added to this doubt. This paper explores the world of vaccines in an effort to educate the less knowledgeable. Research Findings Introduction The history of vaccines begins with the long history of infectious disease in humans, and usually it is reported that the origin goes back as far as Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, 400 B.C. He described diphtheria, mumps, and epidemic jaundice among other conditions (Hussein, et al. 2015). The earliest methods of immunization and protection against smallpox dates back to about 1000 A.D., and are attributed to the Chinese. It has been said that the son of a Chinese statesmen was inoculated against smallpox by blowing powdered smallpox sores into his nostrils. Another way of inoculation was the removal of fluid from the sores of an infected person and then rubbing it into a cut or scratch of a healthy individual. It took almost six centuries...

...3/02/2014 Daycare: Good or Bad? In this day and age, more women are becoming more active in the workplace which forces them to leave their children in a daycare atmosphere. The first few years of a child's life are detrimental to their development. In general, traditional daycare settings do not have a reputation for being emotionally healthy, so we must ask ourselves the question, is public daycare worth the risks? In this paper, I will provide compelling examples as to why I believe public daycare settings are unhealthy for positive cognitive and social development as well as my suggestions for what type of childcare would be healthier. One of the reasons parents opt to keep their children out of daycare is due to the amount of germs their child will get exposed to on a daily basis. 'Children in day care centers are more likely to catch an infection than kids who do not attend day care. Children who go to day care are often around other kids who may be sick.'(Kaneshiro, 2012) This is partly due to the high number of children in each classroom and caregivers not using the proper sanitary actions necessary with high volumes of children. There are simply too many children to look after. This leaves many classes understaffed. I personally worked at a daycare for a decent amount of time and I can vouch for that fact firsthand. There is a certain ratio of adults/children that you have to meet by LAW, but some facilities do not take...

...The Dust Bowl, also known as the dirty thirties, lasted a decade. It started in 1931 and lasted until 1939. The Dust Bowl happened to come when America was already suffering from the Great Depression. It is said to be one of the worst environmental disasters in history. In this research paper you will learn about life before, during and after the Dust Bowl. People came to the plains in search of a new beginning. Some people came to claim a homestead. A homestead is a piece of farming land with a house on it. What drove them to the plains was the Great Depression. It was an economic crisis where the stock market had crashed. During the Great Depression the U.S.’s business activity was low. Dust storms were created in Oklahoma, Colorado,...

...Career Research Paper The career I currently have in mind would be a registered nurse. I believe my main source of interest in this career is that I have the desire to help people who are in need and who would care for them in hard times. Also, I am Filipino and in the Philippines, most of the parents expect their kids to work as nurse. The skills that I could apply for this career is that I’m a very hard working person, I have the skill to communicate and collaborate effectively, and I have the passion to help people who are in need.

...Purpose of the Study This structured observation that is done through Event Sampling aims to: 1. Observe systematically the temper tantrum behavior of my younger brother. 2. Study the cause of why the temper tantrum behavior took place. 3. Analyze and assess the behavior of my younger brother to know and find ways on how to reduce its occurence. Methodology Research Setting. The event sampling took place in the observer and subject’s residence in Block 5 Lot 10 S&V Townhomes, Bajac, Liloan, Cebu during the 1st ,5th, and 7th of March in the year 2016. Research Participants. The subject of the study was the observer’s youngest brother (a 6 year old, first grader). The subject was chosen because the observer wanted to know the cause of it’s temper tantrum as a child. While the co observer for the study was the observer’s younger brother (a 15 year old, ninth grader), he was chosen because of his availability and he was the only one fit to do the job during the day of observation. Instrument. The observer and the co observer only used a pen and paper for tallying the number of times the temper tantrums behavior occur during each observation period. Procedure. Each observation lasted for an hour since the target behavior which was the temper tantrums of the subject does not happen frequently, the observer tallied the occurence of the behavior through Stroke Recording. Each temper tantrum behavior has a designated category which was based...

...diagnosis and then treat children with minor health problems to serious illnesses. With that, they will be working closely with the child’s family through adulthood, so Pediatricians are required to have great communication skills, time management, and diligence while being in their field of work. Pediatricians primarily do “physical exams, give your child recommended immunizations, give you information about your child’s health, safety, nutrition, and fitness needs, […] and answer your questions about your child’s growth and development” (WebMD). As a Pediatric, they are also known to be a “highly flexible specialty” (Iannelli) which offers a wide range of career opportunities so it is difficult to generalize what they do. But, this research paper will primarily be on Pediatricians who are more focused on taking care of children’s general health concerns. With an interview with Dr. Rose Bascon, a Pediatrician from El Centro Regional Medical Center, I asked five questions: What is the nature of the work like? How are the working conditions? Are there possible ethical concerns you have faced? What were the obstacles you had to overcome as a Pediatrician? Are there any tips for those pursuing a career like yours? Dr. Bascon stated that the nature of the work is “service-oriented”. She says that it involves a lot of communication between the patients and her, and the long work hours consist of seeing different patients throughout the day within the hospital and clinic. Not only...

...parents or by an unmarried working parent. The “traditional family” of the breadwinner and homemaker has been replaced by the “juggler family,” in which no one is home fulltime. Two-parent families are working 10 more hours a week than in 1979.1 To be decent parents, caregivers, and members of their communities, workers now need greater flexibility than they once did. Yet good part-time or flex-time jobs remain rare. Whereas companies have embraced flexibility in virtually every other aspect of their businesses (inventory control, production schedules, financing), full-time workers’ schedules remain largely inflexible. Employers often demand workers be available around the clock. Moreover, many employees have no right to a minimum number of sick or vacation days; almost two thirds of all workers – and an even larger percentage of low-income parents – lack the ability to take a day off to care for a family member.2 The Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 finally guaranteed that workers at large companies could take a leave of absence for the birth or adoption of a baby, or for the illness of a family member. Yet that guaranteed leave is unpaid. Many businesses are finding ways to give their most valued employees flexibility but, all too often, workers who need flexibility find themselves shunted into part-time, temporary, on-call, or contract jobs with reduced wages and career opportunities – and, often, no benefits. A full quarter of American workers are in these jobs. Only 15 percent...

But now science is fast catching up Tom Cruise as John Anderton in Minority Report - an early adopter of gesture-based computing. Photograph: 20th Century Fox The launch of Microsoft's new Kinect games system, which allows players to run, jump, punch and shoot without having to wear strange clothing or hold any kind of controller, has got technology and cinema buffs alike thinking of Tom Cruise again. Specifically, the moment in the film Minority Report when Cruise, playing police chief John Anderton, tries to figure out film footage and computer data by waving his hands around in mid-air to manipulate it: turning it, shrinking it, pushing it aside, revolving it. Give it time: in a few years, we'll more than likely be controlling our computers in a similar way. 1. Minority Report 2. Production year: 2002 3. Country: USA 4. Cert (UK): 12 5.

...Shots, inoculations, vaccines, do children need them? This is the issue that needs to be discussed. Why are vaccines a necessity of current times? Even though vaccines may have some side effects, they have saved many lives as everyone already knows. They prevent many types of diseases and stop the spread of others. Just image having to send your children to school that’s filled with other children carrying diseases and viruses. Viruses such as small pox, measles, and mumps that could invade your child’s body which in most circumstances will then be brought home and spread to other family members. Therefore, every child in America needs to be vaccinated before beginning school because vaccines can prevent disease, save lives, and alleviate sick days at school. Firstly, many of these contagious diseases in children are preventable. Many of the viruses that cause diseases such as measles, mumps, or small pox are very dangerous. Sometimes the symptoms are very mild or not even noticed. While other times the symptoms can be severe, possibly even leaving a residual effect. For example, as everyone knows, if an adult male contracts mumps, this may cause sterility. Another example is polio, although preventable, once this disease is contracted it can lead to permanent muscle weakness. Once someone contracts one of these types of disease, it can possibly be fatal. Fortunately, these types of diseases are now avoidable thanks to vaccines. All of these viruses and more now have an enemy...

...ask, what goes on in people’s mind that leads to this type of heinous actions on animals? Where does the root of the problem begin? This paper will analyze the causes, signs and prevention of animal cruelty. There are two forms of animal cruelty. One is active cruelty that is deliberately inflicted to cause harm (CFAWR, 2010). The other one is passive cruelty which the harm inflicted through willful disregard, in turn generating into long-term suffering. Regardless of the kind of cruelty, the effects are pronounced in the animals. Those abusing animals are highly likely to perpetrate violent crimes against humans. Negative behaviors like animal cruelty emerge from traumatic past. Animal cruelty in this regard is presented as diagnostic criteria for determining conduct disorder. This disorder is found in people who abuse both animals and humans. Clinical evidence considers animal cruelty as one of the signs that are shown in the initial phases of conduct disorder, normally at age 8 (CFAWR, 2010). Most of the studies that have been carried out in the recent past have demonstrated that violent offenders must have been involved in serious and consistent animal cruelty. The Federal Bureau of Investigation has examined the psychology of serial killers and established that most of them have killed or maimed animals as kids. Additional research has demonstrated constant trends of animal cruelty among those advancing major forms of abuse. This could be...

My kidneys hadn’t failed to the point that I had to start dialysis yet, so I took the initiative and started to research the disease online because I had heard so many horror stories about people on dialysis. During this research, I found out that my diet would have to drastically change. I had to give up a lot of foods that I enjoyed because they could make me sick. So I prepared myself by avoiding those foods, so it wouldn’t be that big of a change once I started dialysis. I also...

...PHI 115- Ethics 5/7/2014 Euthanasia The purpose of this research paper is to prove that the process of euthanasia is wrong, it is against the natural and moral end of human’s life , and the most of all , it is unethical. Euthanasia from Greek: “good death” or “mercy killing”, is the practice of ending of life intentionally to relieve intractable problem of suffering. There are plenty of ethical issues to discuss, regarding this one. Proponents of euthanasia consider that death filled with suffering is wrongful and bad death. That is why these people are for legalization of euthanasia. On the other hand, opponents( including my person) of euthanasia would say that any deliberate effort to cause death is wrong and against eternal law ( God’s law). Ethics and morality, basically state the same to many people and they mean exactly one. For Instance, morality refers to personal character, belief and behavior, ethics is the reflection on morality with that person’s actions and his /her professionalism. When we say an ethical person or a moral person, that is the same meaning. Very often, in or common life we can hear both terms like medical ethics or bioethics, they both describe the same and have the same meaning. These are the guidelines...

...Personal Responsibility is the Key to College Success Personal Responsibility is the Key to College Success Although there are many unexpected occurrences in life; one must take on personal responsibility in order to achieve a college degree. First, one must take the initiative by researching colleges and the courses they offer. A prospective student should make sure the college they wish to attend has good reviews and high graduation rates. After finding the right college, one must enroll and meet all requirements the course demands; participate in class discussions, turn in assignments on time, and above all, ask questions. Only you are responsible for what you do or do not understand. There is no blaming anyone else for your failures. If you want to do well in college classes, you must make sure you ask for any clarification you may need to be successful at any given task. Personal responsibility and college success go hand in hand. If you want that degree, you must hold yourself accountable for your actions. If you slack, you are setting yourself up for failure; however, if you take your life into your own hands, and make choices conducive to reaching your goals, you will receive that diploma. For instance, think positive “Generally, the higher the positive affect, the higher the GPA” (Nickerson, Diener, & Schwarz, 2011, Positive affect and college success, p. 719). Make certain you feel you are comfortable with the level of work you have to do; if it is too difficult...
