Name: Course: Instructor: Date: Birdbox Review In a movie list of Knock Down the House, Season 1 Jessica Jones, Into the Spider-Verse, and Birdbox, the latter is certainly a must-watch for me. The Netflix original that premiered on 21 December 2018 was a hit. Susanne Bier, an award-winning director, starred the amazing Sandra Bullock as Malorie, together with John Malkovich and a couple of other notable and talented actors. The movie, based on a book by an American author Josh Malerman is a thriller worth every second of the 2-hour 4-minute watch. Malorie is set up in a post-apocalyptic world that has been invaded by creatures that are kept mysterious from the viewer’s eyes throughout the whole movie. The mystery of the creatures made the movie intriguing, and one would have struggled to catch a glimpse of it by some fast-pace shots but to no avail. The story surrounds Malorie, starting with some news that there were people who were acting severely aggressive and brutal and eventually end up killing themselves. The news spreads, and it is determined that these…

Mental Illness and Music Therapy Mental disorders result in the change of the thinking and the behavior of an affected person. Whenever this occurs, a significant burden usually comes to those close to the patient. At times the condition would be extreme, making the patient entirely out of control while in other situations, the patient would be in a position to carry out some duties. There are usually various causes of mental disorders which dictate the type of control and treatment measures applicable to the patient. The treatment is categorized into research evidence techniques and practice techniques that most experts have been using (Arzin, 2005). Evidence-based techniques such as music therapy have not been implemented by most medical practitioners who have insisted on conventional means.

Clinical based decision-making When it comes to a clinical based decision-making model, they are certain components that are impacted by clinical expertise. These components ensure that an individual is able to achieve the goals of the evidence-based practice and run the implementation process smoothly without any difficulties. The components also depend on the type of practice one is planning to implement, although there are some key components that should always be considered. One of the key components is patient preferences and behaviors (Melnyk and Fineout-Overholt, 2015). In an evidence-based practice, patient preferences, as well as behaviors, are key factors to consider. This is because one needs to come up with a decision-making model that agrees with the patient’s preferences and in accordance with their behavior. Coming up with a model that does not agree with the patient’s preferences and behaviors may be contradicting and may not work since the patients may end up not being responsive to the chosen model. Another component entails clinical state, setting, and circumstances. In order to come up with a good and effective clinical based…
Effect of Race, Gender and Class on Citizenship and Wealth In the recorded history of America, it has been noted that access to wealth and citizenship was highly influenced by class, gender and race. This is because, at the time, the society had not yet developed to the level of acceptance and tolerance witnessed in modern society. It was common for individuals belonging in a particular category to associate themselves with those in the group since they had a lot in common. This, therefore, limited the sharing of resources and opportunities to that specific group or category. This essay provides an analysis of how race, gender and class shaped one’s access to wealth and citizenship in American history. The Indians suffered displacement and rejection on account of their race. On the speech by President Andrew Jackson to Congress, he pointed out that, “it will place a dense and civilized population in large tracts of country now occupied by a few savage hunters.”(National Archives and Records Administration 1). This is a quintessential example of racial formation. The whites, in this…

Most of the picture and design of items found in the Museum were long time history about the lives, culture, and activities that took years back. They portray the origins of our cultures and the teaching they gave based on how people lived and existed during the period.
