...Athletes across the nation are taking a stand… by not standing. After NFL quarterback, Colin Kaepernick kneeled during the “Star Spangled Banner” in 2016, it exploded into a nationwide debate. Since then, many other athletes have also started protesting during the national anthem. The protests have sparked a flurry of both support and opposition, with some praising athletes for being brave enough to publicly take a stand for what is right, and others harshly criticizing athletes and labeling them as brattish and disrespectful. Some have even gone as far as sending death threats. Making it mandatory for athletes to stand may seem like a simple solution, but it comes with its own set of problems. Requiring athletes to stand for the national anthem, even if kneeling is controversial, contradicts our founding principles and ignores why athletes are protesting in the first place. For starters, everyone deserves the freedom of expression, even if the way they choose to express their stance is contentious. As stated by procon.org, “Not standing for the national anthem is a legal form of peaceful protest, which is a First Amendment right.”. That being said, exercising your freedom of speech does not protect you from the repercussions. Athletes who choose not to stand face the risk of creating a public backlash that might cost them in future endorsements and affect their value as a player on a team, reducing salary earnings or even compromising their jobs. At the same time, they understand...

...Addiction relates to many things such as alcohol food and most importantly drug such as the legal and illegal narcotics. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse and more specifically Nora Volkow’s blog “because of drug use, a person’s brain is no longer able to produce something needed for our functioning and that healthy people take for granted, free will.”( Nora’s blog)This states that addiction is something that people choose on their own. No one is pointing a gun at their head and are telling them to take those narcotics. Once they consume it once there is no stopping them. The brain receptors will be blocked and senses will be dull allowing the consumer to fall into temptation and relapse into the same cycle again without measuring the consequences. Nora’s solution is that people with that disease should be helped and it should be treated like any other.(Nora’s blog) Even though, Nora beliefs that this awful addiction is free will i beg to differ because doctors are the ones that prescribe narcotics. They give the patients the prescription and increase the dosage when the patient says it does take the pain away.Doctors need to care for their patients be providing other alternatives to them not just tell them that a certain narcotic can cure that pain. As doctors they should know the abuse potential for narcotics and be more careful when suggesting them as the medicine to cure their illness. Moreover, Aaron Juchau strongly believes that the prohibition of narcotics...

...Introduction A Theoretical Orientation is a conceptual framework provided by the counselor, social worker or therapist based on the needs of the client(s). Developing a theoretical orientation is essential in practicing because it acts as a guide in the therapeutic process; it helps to make a decision on what theory is most useful. While working with individuals,treatment groups and families having a theoretical orientation can be very useful when decisions are being made about what treatment or intervention to use to provided services to the client(s). It also keeps things organized and on track so that there is no room for mistaken cross interventions or treatment plans. This paper will consist of strategies for developing your Theoretical...

...What is the secret to success business or what is it that made business success? Although it is fun to create your own items and sell them to the public, but the road to be successful in this career is tough. There are many ways of advertising that businesses use to persuade people to buy their items, and the most frequent way is revealed in one of the articles that The Onion released in Massillon, Ohio in 1999. Through the uses of medical diction and exaggerated or sarcastic tone, the article is an example of the basic procedure in what most businesses use to advertise their newly produce products to the public, where it is humorously mocked by The Onion by for having words that are nonexistent yet sound professional at the same time as having words that are truly professional and medically in the field of developing insoles that are unlike any others that are in the market. First, the author starts off with an before and after scenario where the author says, “stressed and sore-footed Americans everywhere… MagnaSoles...stimulate and soothe the wearer's feet.” implies not only the company name and the product, but it also uncover why customers should buy their newly developed insoles. The medical diction of “pseudoscience” is showed at the end of the paragraph, where it has the meaning of a belief that is sometimes mistakenly regarded as based on scientific method. Not only that this has a medical connotation, yet it is also scientific. From this, the company mights sound like...

...I became aware of an unethical incident within the dog breeding industry in 2013, after I adopted a Japanese Shiba Inu named Goldie. Originally a French dog-breeder named Cathy Louche purchased Goldie for £1,200, from prize-winning breeder Liz Dunhill. Although, months later Louche requested compensation, asserting that a veterinarian had discovered a hereditary condition affecting Goldie's knee. Consequently, Dunhill sent a replacement dog whilst Louche shipped Goldie back across the channel. However, following Goldie’s subsequent adoption and assessment by a vet, no heredity problem was identified. Instead, her knee problem was a result of trauma, likely a dog-attack, which was left untreated thus lead to malformation and rheumatism. Therefore, what had actually transpired is that Goldie was attacked whilst in the care of Louche, causing injury, yet instead of providing veterinary care, presumably due to the cost; she lied to Dunhill to receive a replacement. In this learning log entry I will dissect this ethical dilemma from different ethical perspectives. Personally, I feel the behaviour of Louche was morally wrong, as she lied to Dunhill and left Goldie in pain just to prevent losing money. Similarly, a Kantian perspective would support this view. Kantianism is a deontological theory that judges morality by examining the motive and rationalisation of actions, rather than the consequences (Crane and Matten, 2010). In Kantianism a lie such as Louche's can never be justified...

Bernido and l\faria Victoria Carpio-.Rernido Research Center for Theoretical Physics Central Visayan Institute Foundation Jagna, Bohol 6308, Philippines The Ascending Levels of Learning and Pedagogical ~1axims that could guide effective teaching of physics are presented. As an example of how these may be applied, the Dynamic Learning Prof:,lfam (DLP) of the Central Visayan Institute Foundation is briefly discussed. The DLP, together with 21st century technology, provides a scenario where the perennial lack of high school physics teachers in the Philippines can be bypassed. Introduction The breadth of topics that may be covered in teaching physics can be extremely wide. After all, physics probes the smallest things in the universe (the quarks and leptons), aiJ the way up to the "biggest" subject one can think of-the birth, death, and fate of the universe itself. One definition for physics states that it is the study of matter and energy. Most everything in the universe is either matter or energy, and this can make physics quite interdisciplinary. No wonder, therefore, that sub-areas in physics may be referred to as Biophysics, Geophysics~ Chemical Physics, Mathematical Physics, Astrophysics, Nuclear Physics, Econophysics, etc., and one also has the physics of sports, the physics of art, and so on. Because of its breadth, there is always...

...a woman and a Jew, she was paid a minimal amount of money and was not given the status of a professor. In 1929, Emmy Noether was welcomed to the University of Moscow as a guest lecturer. She was a member of the Göttingen University mathematics department until 1933. This was when the Nazis took over and she was unable to continue teaching in Germany. In 1933, Noether moved to the United States and continued her teachings at Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania as a guest professor. Here, she was paid a full salary and accepted as a proper part of the staff. In the U.S., she also taught at the Institute of Advanced Study at Princeton. Noether published many papers while working at the University of Erlangen. She also began her research on theoretical algebra and teamed with Felix Klein and David Hilbert working on Einstein’s theory of relativity. In 1907-1919, Noether concentrated on the field of algebraic invariant theory, the Galois Theory, and Physics. She proved two theorems of particle physics and general relativity. ‘Noether’s Theorem’ is one of the most significant contributions to the development of modern physics. In 1920-1926, she devoted her time to the theory of mathematical rings. She developed an abstract and conceptual way to approach algebra. This resulted in principles that unify topology, logic, geometry, algebra, and liner algebra. Noether’s works were a breakthrough in abstract algebra. Her studies on chain conditions and ideals of commutative rings were honored...

...is when Planck first got an interest in physics and learned the principle of conservation of energy. He began the studies in 1874 at the University of Munich and studied theoretical physics. After he graduated, he taught math and physics briefly. Planck completed his habilitation thesis and began lecturing in Munich without getting paid becuase he was waiting to be offered a new postion. He also furthered his work on the field of heat theory. Planck then became a professor at Berlin University and joined the Physical Society. As far as Plancks home life goes, he married and had four children. He was friends with theologian Adolf con Harnack and his home soon because a social center. Famous scientists like Albert Einstein and Otto Hahn all frequently visited. His wife died and he remaired and had his third son. Planck's two sons and two daughters all died. By the end of the 1920s, Bohr, Heisenberg, and Pauli had worked out the interpretation of quantum mechanics, but Planck rejected it. He expected that wave mechanics would render the quantum theory, even though this can not be the case. Further work only cemented quantum theory, even against Einstein's revulsions. He originated quantum theory, which won him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1918. Max Planck made many contributions to theoretical physics, and is very famous for being the originator of quantum theory. He ended his life at Göttingen on October 4, 1947, but he has contributed so much for the...

Nonlinear Modelling Application in Distillation Column Zalizawati Abdullah, Norashid Aziz, and Zainal Ahmad Abstract Distillation columns are widely used in chemical processes and exhibit nonlinear dynamic behavior. In order to gain optimum performance of the distillation column, an effective control strategy is needed. In recent years, model based control strategies such as internal model control (IMC) and model predictive control (MPC) have been revealed as better control systems compared to the conventional method. But one of the major challenges in developing this effective control strategy is to construct a model which is utilized to describe the process under consideration. The purpose of this paper is to provide a review of the models that have been implemented in continuous distillation columns. These models are categorized under three major groups: fundamental...

...EXPERIMENT 3 GROUP B AIM: To find the overall efficiency of plate column operating under total reflux, for a binary system (iso-propanol & n- propanol). APPARATUS: * Distillation Column with reboiler * Automatic digital refractometer * Two fluids with different volatilities. PROCEDURE: * Distillation column was filled with the two fluids. * Then we switched on the heater and set the temperature to 126.6 ̊C * And then we allow the system to reach the equilibrium. * The equilibrium was tested by taking out the samples (from reboiler & distillate) at the interval of 10min such that the refractive index hence concentration was made constant. THEORY: Distillation is one of the most common separation techniques used in the chemical and petroleum industries. It is defined as “a process in which a liquid or vapour mixture of two or more substances is separated into its component fractions of desired purity, by the application and removal of heat. Distillation provides the basis for separating numerous substances into valuable components. The components of a mixture are separated based on relative volatilities, which depend on the differences in boiling temperatures of the components making up the mixture. The separation becomes easier as the difference between the relative volatilities increases. The component with the lowest boiling point flows to the top of the column as a vapour, condensed and exits the column as the distillate. A percentage...

...Smoking cigarettes is such a taboo thing now a days. During the 1950’s smoking was completely normalized and was even broadcasted. This may be because there was not the research necessary to tell smokers why it is unhealthy. For the first commercial, commercial 1, it is a simple 60 second, black and white advertisement promoting “Camel” cigarettes. In this commercial, the company is exhibiting doctors smoking their cigarettes to appeal to their audience. Their audience includes doctors, smokers, and/or those considering smokers. The role of a doctor is a highly respected profession, so if a doctor can smoke it makes it seem like anyone and everyone should. One societal change I noticed throughout the commercial was that all actors were white, and the female actresses involved in the commercial were not the doctors, instead they were the assistants. The cigarette in this commercial signifies relief and pleasure, something anyone would want to feel. This use of pathos causes the viewers to desire or at least become curious about smoking Camels. In the commercial, the narrater emphasizes how scarce free time for a doctor is, and that doctors smoke Camels during their rare free time. The real reason for this commercial is not only to persuade viewers to try Camel cigarettes, but to exhibit a survey result. Camel’s company surveyed a number of doctors, asking “What cigarette do you smoke, Doctor?” They found that most doctors smoke Camels, and with this conclusion, the ending of their...

...Minimum wage in America remains a common topic of discussion throughout the country, mainly because its gradual increase over the years sparks the argument: should pay for blue-collar jobs reach an amount resembling that of a normal career’s? Nickel and Dimed actively investigates that question by seeing if minimum wage in today’s modern world can suitably satisfy all of an individual’s living needs. Ehrenreich targets the working-class and owning-class citizens alike as her book’s audience, but it is certainly the owning-class people who claim that a minimum wage is an acceptable living wage that she aims to persuade otherwise. She occasionally cheats in order to maintain a basic semblance of security throughout her experiences; and had she be willing to explore those kinds of usual difficulties that the working-class unwillingly have to face, it would have supported her case by exposing the absolute worst of the worst of a life hanging onto existence by meager pay. Despite the particular faults of her investigation, Nickel and Dimed provides an example from which all readers may learn: getting a taste of the American Dream, in accordance with the American economy, is not as easy as it may seem. The credibility of Ehrenreich’s account on the life of a blue-collar employee, however, is subject to stern criticism. As she dutifully admits the certain advantages that she has over regular folk forced to live daily under the burden of low pay, she still allows those advantages to...

...According to Patricia Hill Collins, one distinguishing feature of Black feminist thought is that there is a dialectical relationship between oppression and activism, and there is a dialogical relationship between black women's collective experiences of oppression and their group knowledge. Because of their unique position within the matrix of domination, defined as the social organization in which intersecting oppressions are developed, maintained, and maneuvered, African American women have a special knowledge about the interlocking nature of race, gender, and class oppression. Therefore they must be a part of any effective effort to critique and overcome oppression. As Collins explains, this insight was known and practiced well before contemporary feminist thinkers such as herself conceptualized Black feminist thought as a particular field of scholarship. The research and activism of labor organizer Vicki Garvin demonstrates an understanding of the specific and important role that African American women (as one of many historically marginalized/oppressed groups) have to play within the institutional contexts that create and perpetuate their oppression. She emerges as a Black woman intellectual whose work transformed consciousness and cultivated resistance. Garvin wrote a Master’s thesis that problematized labor unions as institutional contexts that privileged the liberal pro-capitalist perspectives of white males over the needs and views of the diverse labor force. While serving...
