Pros and Cons of Free College The advantages include increased access for everyone, especially those without financial capabilities to meet college fees. It also offers an opportunity for many young people to choose a career path following successful graduation (Collier, Mishra, Houston, Hensley & Hartlep, 2019). The increase in professionals increases competition and innovation in the market, thus improving the quality of services and products reaching the people. College education improves a person’s quality of life as they can critically think through diverse life problems and offer substantial solutions to existing issues (Facione & Gittens, 2016). Lower education levels, therefore, translates to small problems becoming significant issues to such uneducated societies. The cons, on the other hand, include increased government expenditure on higher learning which translates to higher tax rates on the ordinary people—thus increasing the cost of living for the people which might also lower their living standards to meet the substantial cost of living. At the same time, free college means increased congestion in colleges and lower numbers of lecturers per group of students (Collier et al., 2019).…

Should GARP cancel the FRM Exams because of the coronavirus? : Reasons For & Reasons Against The FRM 2020 exams are slotted for May, but with the Coronavirus scare, it’s a wait and see attitude for most candidates. GARP might have to cancel the FRM level 1 and level 2 pencil and paper tests, or maybe not. Here are arguments for both sides. Reasons for FRM Exam Cancellation May 2020 The FRM exams require candidates to be in shared physical spaces The CDC warns that everyone must stay as far as 6 feet away from infected individuals. It can be hard to tell who is infected with COVID 19 and who is not. The exam centers for FRM level one and two exams could be a high-risk environment, given that they are shared spaces with close sitting arrangements. Already, many schools and institutions of higher learning have shut down. Many others are shifting to online classes. The preparation phase of the FRM exam may proceed without any impact from coronavirus because the certification program doesn’t involve in-class training. However, having…

Multiculturalism and ideas of diversity in Canada Introduction As a country, Canada comprises of different cultures indicative of the aspects of multiculturalism and diversity exemplified in its societal framework. Nonetheless, the representation of other cultures or groups is still inadequate, as depicted in Kim’s Convenience. The lack of adequate representation does not negate the fact that many immigrants from different cultures call Canada home. Nonetheless, media platforms have still not managed to represent such diversity. Very few videos and print media have touched on the experiences of immigrant groups based on the concepts of diversity and multiculturalism. Some of the media that speak to their experiences and form the basis of this paper are Kim’s Convenience, Pyaasa, and Letters from my Grandma. Such representation must be captured by such works, as will be seen later in this paper. As the population of immigrants and other ethnic groups in Canada increases, the limitations as to their representation in media platforms must be tackled. Even though such contents are mainly created by the immigrant or ethnic groups themselves, they still showcase multiculturalism…

Critical thinking habits of the mind The healthcare system continuously becomes complex due to technological advancement, diverse patient acuity, and the emergence of new diseases. Therefore, nurses should continually improve their metacognitive and cognitive skills to suit these situations. According to Paul & Elder (2013), the acquisition of critical thinking skills needs conscious commitment. Critical thinking skills are essential to predict diagnoses and authenticate prescribed interventions through constant critical review. A nurse that employs critical thinking in the delivery of patient care uses clinical reasoning founded on scientific evidence (Turpin & Higgs, 2017). Therefore, promoting proper decision making and higher diagnostic accuracy, which enhance quality nursing care and reduce medical errors. In nursing, critical thinking is essential in clinical reasoning to enable the nurse to think logically and systematically. Besides, critical thinking allows the nurse to reflect on the reasoning process utilized to ensure safe nursing care (Turpin & Higgs, 2017). According to Jacob et al. (2017), critical thinking enables the nurse to adhere to intellectual standards, have expertise in using reasoning, and become committed to developing and maintaining intellectual…

Student’s Name Subject Tutor’s Name Date The Impacts of Video Games on Teens Video games have existed since the 1960s. Some of these games include FIFA, God of War, Grand Theft Auto, and Tetris, among others. These games not only help players relax (Olson et al. p. 82); they also educate on several issues such as civic engagement (Ferguson and Adolfo n.p.). Despite these positive effects, video games are harmful to teens in society. However, the US Supreme Court still upholds the notion that the games do not have any effects on children in society, despite researchers conducting surveys on the matter. Sufficient research indicates that the games promote violent and aggressive behaviors, and also harmful attitudes towards women. As such, this paper seeks to look at some of the negative impacts of video games to teens and the youth in the community; and why they are not beneficial to them. Video games harm the emotions of players. Studies have found that exposure to video games decreases the player’s empathy (Anderson et al., p. 155). Empathy is the ability to…

Race theory Race theory was coined by Kimberle Crenshaw in late 1980, in his detailed description he gives the direct connection that exists between science fiction and the race theory. Race theory becomes a challenge when the United States became a color-blind society whereby your racial identity did not affect one’s economic or social status. Race theory is a theoretical as well as an interpretive model that examines how race and racism appear in dominant cultural modes of expression. The scholars attempt to get an understanding of how cultural perception of race affects victims of systemic racism and how these victims can represent themselves to counter bias. The theory is closely connected to law, history, sociology as well as philosophy. Racism theory scholars trace racism in America in the nation’s legacy for slavery, recent events and in the civil rights movements. The theory, therefore, draws work from prominent writers like Martin Luther King, Fredrick Douglas among others who study law and feminism as well as post-structuralism. In this paper, we will discuss how race theory is integrated into science fiction.…

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons PAHs Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, abbreviated as PAHs, belong to a group of chemical compounds with unsaturated cyclic hydrocarbons. These compounds are found in cigarette smoke. Their presence in the environment can be detected by spectroscopic instruments used to analyze chemical substances. At different wavelengths, they exhibit specific energy transitions that can be represented in the form of the emission, absorption, or excitation spectrum. Literature Review This class of compounds has a negative impact on and human beings. Their presence in the environment poses a human health risk due to their carcinogenic properties (Agency for toxic substances and Disease Registry [ATSDR], 1995). Therefore, their detection is of importance to monitor and control their exposure to the environment. The detection of PAHs relies on three primary spectroscopic techniques that utilize the behavior of PAHs particles.  When these particles are exposed to energy, they get excited and yield absorption, fluorescence, or excitation spectrum (Douglas et al., 2006). Depending on their behavior, they can be detected through analysis of the spectrum obtained in spectroscopic instruments. Generally, PAHs absorb energy in the…

How to combine gym and swimming Swimming is a favorite pastime for most people, even without considering it as a physical exercise. Yet as more swimmers display shredded bodies and weightlifters and other strength training athletes adopt swimming in their programs, the question for most is how these two can be integrated. Swimmers like Ryan Lochte and Adam Peaty are among those who have added weight training in their program. On the other hand, athletes like 2017 World Strongest Man Eddie Hall, a former national swimming champion, has a swimming workout that is part of his training regimen. It is, therefore, evident that these two can go hand in hand. The question is how to combine gym and training? The answer to this is dependent on your training goals. You have the option of swimming during your rest days or doing both swimming and gym workouts on the same day. If you are a swimmer, much of your training hours and days will be dedicated to swimming. On the other hand, strength trainers will spend more hours on their weights.…
