Displaced persons Displaced persons are people who have been forced to flee their areas of residence and are often referred to as refugees. There are two major types of displaced person, internally displaced and refugees. Internally displaced persons commonly abbreviated as IDP are persons are those who are forced to flee from their home but are still within their country orders, while refugees are persons who have been forced to flee or leave their areas of residence and have crossed international borders. Involuntary or coerced movement of people or away from their residential area There a number of factors that may cause displacement of persons. Majorly it’s either natural disasters such as drought and famine, floods and earthquakes, systemic violence such as war and conflict, or development projects. There is still no public entity dedicated to monitoring forced migration, much fewer policies in place to provide protection and fair compensation for those displaced. Instead, institutional responsibility and associated resources are scattered across different ministries and departments in various countries. There are a number of challenges that displaced persons are likely…
Name Course Instructor Book Report of My Grandfather’s Son by Clarence Thomas The subject of how Thomas became successful lies in his due diligence since his early years from a growing village lad to a great man of influence in America. Maybe the absolute most extensive power of an American President is the capacity to designate adjudicators to sit on the US Supreme Court. To his rise, this is how it happened; the two Bush Presidents designated four of the nine-part court. This furious, conflicting and disillusioned ‘diary’ constantly, Judge Clarence Thomas, accidentally passed on the woeful legal inheritance the Bushes were to leave 21st-century America. Thomas, who was 59, was just the second African-American to sit in the Supreme Court. He succeeded the first, Thurgood Marshall. After the debilitated Marshall resigned in 1991, the main Bush organization set about a close unthinkable undertaking: finding a certified black adjudicator who might seek after indistinguishable political dreams from those of the white, conservative first class represented by Bush the senior. They picked Thomas, whom not many accept was capable. In the…
Lessons from a post What I learned from your post One of the most important lessons I have learned from this case is the impact of microbeads to our environment and our future generation. The use of plastics has really increased, causing an accumulation of plastic waste in the ecosystem. Actually, these microbeads present harmful pollutants after being littered in aquatic habitats. This case gives a new understanding of microbeads being microplastics. Therefore, they are impossible to extract from the environment. Allowing microbeads to persist within waters is catastrophic for future generations. Additionally, microbeads absorb toxins then ingested by marine life, killing or harming the creatures. The solution to the environmental destruction caused by microbeads is to ban their use in personal care products to stop microbeads from polluting our environment. Professional lessons These case studies provide an insight into environmental conservation, which I can apply in my professional field. In the first case about angora rabbits, it disapproves of the mistreatment of rabbits. The microbeads case displays the negative effects microbeads have on the environment. The two cases example…
Nursing theories For many years, administrators, practitioners, and nursing scholars have pushed for nursing theories that lay a foundation of discipline and nursing practice (Brown). These theories are meant to evaluate and make the necessary decisions concerning patient care. This also includes providing insights that help in the understanding of emerging phenomena in nursing and also helping in decision making. The urge resulted in the emergence of various theories that have evolved because of the inability to meet all these needs. Despite that, the theories have some common drawbacks, even though some have untested formulation and inaccurate propositions that are usually assumed. Studies also imply that the validation of nursing theories had been excluded from mainstream nursing after an observation by Silva (1986), who studied five major nursing journals. The essence of the middle-range theory of caregivers was made mostly to address issues of the nurses concerning the services they gave to different patients concerning their illness. They wanted to accomplish four principal aims in theory. The middle-range approach was meant to predict caregivers’ stress and its outcome from demographic…
Sexual strategies for men and women For centuries, women have wished to find a mate who could provide and take care of them as well as the children. Dating from the early man times where daily activities for men included hunting, taking care of family and mating, women appreciated having a stable, physically attractive mate that had no disease and thus could take care of them and their children. A study that showed different men, one standing, another playing happily with a child and another just sitting not doing anything with the child gave different results in terms of attractiveness. The man who seemed to be freely playing with the child was more attractive than the rest, while the one who was not paying attention to a child in distress the least attractive. (Buss, 2016). The study, therefore, showed that men who showed parenting skill or want of were more attractive to women than those who never showed any parental care or concern to children. Finally, most women preferred mates who were older than them by a few years. Such…
Culture and nutrition Introduction The world has been experiencing drastic changes in nutritional practices. Several factors can be directly attributed to these changes. Culture and nutrition are strongly correlated. Nutrition is one of the most significant components of every culture. Different cultures identify themselves with the kind of foods they consume. However, the nutritional preference of a given culture ultimately affects the quality of health of people belonging to that culture. While some cultures have dietary practices that promote health, other cultures have nutritional practices that are considered to be risky to their health. Some nutritional practices are also associated with various cultural elements, for example, cultural beliefs and historical viewpoints. It is, therefore, essential to understand the high-risk nutritional practices related to different cultures across the globe. This paper will specifically discuss different high-risk nutritional practices associated with diverse cultures across the globe, as well as the historical perspectives, belief systems, and other elements that affect the nutritional behaviors of a culture. Indian Asians The cultural practices of this group are also associated with high-risk nutritional practices. Their culture…
Women and girls Abstract Reports show that women and girls who are empowered contribute to the productivity and health of their families, communities, and the country as a whole, therefore creating a ripple effect that benefits everyone. According to the UN human rights office, women are the majority of those living in poverty and seemingly face less influence and power together with fewer resources compared to men. The United Kingdom is one of the countries faced with the challenge of women discrimination, and for many decades women have been subject to gender inequality. On the other hand, no significant progress has been made, taking into account a range of fields, including education, income, workplace, health, or political engagement. The past two decades have seemingly witnessed massive improvements in terms of women gaining far-ranging legal rights. Major talking points involve the fact that girls around the world today have improved access to education both in absolute terms and relative to their male counterparts, and there is a growing momentum that women everywhere can expect to outlive men. This paper will, therefore,…
The BMI My body composition analysis showed that I have a BMI of 18.3 against the normal average of 18.5. I have a height of 5.2ft and a weight of 100lb. The BMI is below average, which means there is a need for me to add weight to improve my scores. However, I was not surprised to receive this score because I tend to fall short in a healthy composition diet. Also, my activity level is sedentary, which means I have failed in making positive activity levels. Although my life, I have not put a lot of weight worthy of being considered obese, I have not been a sporty person. I have not taken part in sports, which explains my BMI score below the average rating. Three components are making up an energy balance that is energy equilibrium, positive energy balance, and negative energy balance. The balance is defined as the correlation between the number of calories gained through the consumption of particular food and beverages and the number of calories used in physical exercises and activities. In my opinion,…
Close’s painting Based on where one stands, they will read the Chuck Close painting differently. One can easily alternate the readings of the painting by alternating the direction and distance from which one sees the painting. When one views the painting from a distance, they will realize that it is almost similar to a high-resolution photograph. When you see it up close, the painting becomes challenging to scan. Often it will take the ambiguous features of landscape painting. However, changing the distance does not detract from the effect of the painting. Chuck Close is a great artist, and his working method is excellent. He knows how to engage with the image close up and often do not view his painting from a distance. Surprisingly, the paintings do not change break-taking impact even if viewed from a distance. Chuck Close begins his painting by overlaying grids to divide the image into smaller sections. Close begins to paint a portrait by applying a background color to each image section of the grid. He is keen on the color choice to make sure…
Animals rights to proper treatment Animals like human beings have rights and require proper treatment. Human beings and animals depend on each other in many ways. Most medical researches and pre-test of the effectiveness of most medicines are conducted using animals. Similarly, animals console and humans keep them as pets in their homes. These are just a few examples that should shed some light on how animals are vital in our ecosystem. Picture a world without animals. This campaign is about protection and respect for animals’ life and rights just like we do for other fellow human beings. Who is responsible for protecting animals? Most people believe that it is the responsibility of wardens to protect animals. All humans are responsible for protecting animals and warranting that their rights are upheld in all settings. When we kill and mistreat animals, we are hurting ourselves. In a few years, we will realize it. Some species of animals have become extinct because of humans” harmful practices and lack of sympathy. In 2019 alone, for instance, a total of three hundred and sixty-one…
