Homicide Introduction Homicide is my point of interest when thinking about life in society. Manslaughter is defined as the ability of one man killing the other man. Homicide can be either illegal or lawful. For example, soldiers who are deployed to counter-terrorism will kill people the terrorists legally. Therefore, choosing black on black homicide and violence is my topic of interest (Greenwood & Wattal, 2015, pp. 15-54). After gaining knowledge about the difference that has been between the blacks and the whites, knowing why the blacks kill their fellow blacks is more interesting. Besides, black males are exposed to homicides more than black women. Background / research topic Homicide is a recurring issue—various places where blacks live practice black on black murder. The leading cause of the killings is the need to revenge. Some blacks feel superior when compared to the others in the society. Instead of facing the whites who colonized them, they face their inferior black members to satisfy their superiority. Homicide is a significant issue for many blacks amongst the American states (Pratt-Harris et al., 2016, pp.…
Student’s name: Instructor’s name: Course title: Date: How does Fritz Leiber use the vampire as a mentor for capitalism in his story, “The Girl with the Hungry Eyes?” “The Girl with the Hungry Eyes” is a story that was written by Fritz Leiber in 1949. It is about a girl who has the identity of the vampire to enthrall and feed the individuals who are not lucky to see her in the adverts she makes. The story has been used to explain the capitalist nature of society. In the capitalist nation, wealth is handled individually. This means that the firms should do all that they can to ensure that they remain competitive enough in the market. The story of Fritz has some magic part of it that hinders the real meaning of the consumerism nature of the economy. This paper will, therefore, explain the relationship between adverts, capitalism, and vampirism based on the story by Fritz Leiber. The modern economists have defined consumerism as the promotion and the protection of the consumers. In this case, the consumers have the right…
Student’s Name: Professor’s Name: Course: Date: Book Review: Being Mortal Advances in science and technology have led to the development of skills and mechanisms through which human health can be sustained and recovered from most known illnesses. This has led to the growth of the notion that medical care can heal anything and that death is mortality is as a result of medical failure. But as Atul Gawande writes in Being Mortal, death, frailty, and aging are all part of nature. Atul also indicates that the medical profession has little to offer to patients who are nearing the end of life. This essay reviews Being Mortal by Atul Gawande and seeks to establish the importance of changing the medical philosophy around death and aging. Dr. Gawande is a surgeon like his father before him, has an interest in geriatrics and hospice care (Sutton 1). With this background, Atul uses experiences as well as interviews with patients, their families, as well as caregivers who are involved in the difficult conversation involved in assuring patients that peaceful death is not the ultimate…

Yellowstone ecosystem Yellowstone ecosystem is best known as a national park. It has several beautiful sights. Many beautiful mountains are covered by expansive forests, stunning waterways, and enormous waterfalls. The geothermal pools and springs dot the scene making the place the most remarkable ecosystem. The major herbivores found in the park include the moose, bison, elk mountain goats, and deer. The main predators include the wolves, the bear, wolverines, and the coyotes (“LORDS OF NATURE,” n.d.). The primary role and the importance of such an ecosystem are that it balances the ecosystem in the sense that the herbivores consume the vegetation, while the carnivores consume the herbivores. The main plants in the Yellowstone include the deciduous species, several trees such as the pine, and both the white and Engelmann spruce. Other animals that depend on plants to survive include the birds and insects. Removing a predator from the ecosystem can be catastrophic. The role of predators is to consume prey; in doing so, they control the number in the ecosystem. Predators assist in maintaining balance among different organisms in an…

A research article is systematic in structure and contains specified steps and sequence with is well –defined. Furthermore, it is guided by logic reasoning and the process of deduction and induction. This means that one or more aspects represent real situations (Library Research Tutorials, n.d.). Data provided is from external research results. Secondly, research is usually a continuation of previous research. Lastly, the investigator must also be able to distribute the work in an open format, which ensures that the study must be made easy to use.

Privatization Amongst primary functions of the government is providing basic and essential services to its citizens. It does so by ensuring a high level of efficiency in the utilization and mobilization of human and economic resources (Lieberherr & Leiren, 2017). However, achieving the needed efficiency faced by difficulties. Such cases necessitate privatization and outsourcing of services, two common ways through the government adopt to optimize the provision of public services. The two methods promote improved delivery of services. While privatization poses a risk of monopoly, it is the best option as it is associated with increased operational efficiency and higher productivity. These two economic achievements are hardly possible with mere outsourcing of services. Privatization involves a complete transfer of human and physical resources to a private manager, facilitating actualization of more proactive cost-efficiency strategies. According to Kim (2010), private entities are associated with higher financial discipline, a culture that is rare with public companies. Saving of time and cost is high in private entities as managers in such company have profit targets to hit. Thus, economic resources in these organizations…
Student’s Name Professor’s Name Course Date Summary and reflection on North America Part 1 This section highlights key issues that have been discovered in North America. First and foremost, the uneven distribution of natural resources. North America is formed by the Caribbean, Central America, and North America itself. That is geographically they form the continent North America. The continent of North America does not produce enough oil to serve the whole continent, thus depend on imports. The United States has been ranked among the top producers and consumers of oil. Since they still import oil means that they consume more than they produce. This trend is likely to impose dangers on the environment if other forms of energy are not resorted to. Secondly, there is increased deforestation, pollution and the reduction of freshwaters. All the factors herein may affect ecological balance. In studying this, important topics of how dams can destroy estuaries, and the harmful effects of over-pumping water bodies were covered. Pollution is a significant threat to the environment. These issues can be further broken down into air and…
