American Public Policy on Abortion The American policy on abortion is a complex one and elicits a lot of debate. However, the majority of the public supports abortion being legal. Of concern is that most people are unhappy by the policy as it stands and many are pushing for changes on the Roe, V Wade policy. Moreover, a majority of those that support and those that oppose have taken hardline stands against it. Most States support abortion remaining legal, but many would like to revise the Roe, V Wade abortion policy. Abortion is a life-altering decision, and it not only affects the parents but states and the country at large. The question to consider is if abortion is harmful or helpful, should it be supported or not? It should be legal, but restrictions need to be included to ensure that it does not do more harm than good. Policy on abortion should be adjustable; the issue should always remain open for debate because a country’s needs keep changing. The American constitution does not address abortion; it neither supports nor opposes…

Creon accuses the sentry of accepting a bribe so that a corpse could be buried against the king’s order. The sentry, however, declares before the king that he had nothing to do with this act. Creon, angrily, orders the sentry to find the person who buried the corpse of face a painful death. The sentry goes and sets a trap to catch the person who buried the body. Antigone is arrested and brought before the king. She is accused of burying a corpse against the king’s order not to do so. The king is not initially convinced that this small girl could commit such a crime. Antigone, however, pleads guilty to all the accusations and is ready to die. The sentry describes to the king how the events occurred until they captured the girl. Creon asks her if she was aware of the order that ha forbade it, and she agrees she knew that. The girl claims she…
Jia-Ronnie I agree with Jia-Ronnie that happiness is the fundamental purpose of why we all live. Everyone is striving to be happy. To be happy, people have to show love and compassion towards us. This creates some inner peace within us. However, many people do not understand how they ought to develop these virtues in their lives. The best thing is to build compassion and use it as a tool to transform our thoughts and behavior. Nevertheless, can human beings eliminate self-centeredness? Today, people think about their good. It is a pity that an individual can have a neighbor whom they do not even know their name. I support this post that Chan influenced how Cheri Maples did her work as a police officer. Her heart was broken, and she began loving other people and showing compassion to others despite being a police officer. Cdh-Sorian It is impressive how Maya Angelou’s mother showed unconditional love towards her daughter. Yes! Her mother loved her even despite her (Maya) decision to move out and welcomed her every time to share a…
Schizophrenia It is a mental disorder (long term), which involves the breakdown of the relationship between behaviour, emotion and thought-leading to inappropriate feelings and actions, faulty perception and withdrawal from personal relationships and reality into delusion, fantasy and mental and mental fragmentation sense. Psychosocial Perspectives of Schizophrenia Social Drift Research implicates that psychotic disorders (clinical features) play a significant role in contributing to the downward socioeconomic trajectory (gradual). As a result, it is critical to note that people suffering from schizophrenia, among other related disorders, mostly reside in socioeconomically deprived areas compared to the general population. Urban Myth It is one of the puzzles questioning why several cases of schizophrenia occur in early adulthood and late adolescent. Indeed, structural neuroimaging shows that people with the disorder are faced with prominent progressive changes in the brain during this time. Stress and Relapse A significant number of people with schizophrenia are known to abuse drugs. In most cases, they abuse Marijuana. Indeed, stress is a problem leading to schizophrenia relapse. Indeed, stress is known to be increased by relapse. Influence of the…
Credit Rating Agencies Quantitative and Qualitative Credit In the recent past, credit rating has become a significant aspect in the financial industry where credit ratings such as Moody’s plays invaluable roles in providing the investors with information about where to invest securities and debts and where not to invest. When financial institutions are evaluating the risk levels that are associated with the issuance of the bonds, they will look at the credit firms from various credit rating agencies. Many investors tend to look for a tradeoff between risk and return on their investments, which means that they would typically go for a higher coupon rate for the bonds that have a poor credit rating. Consequently, credit rating has effectively enabled the financial industry, providing debt and security instruments to measure the risks associated with the issuance of these instruments. Why Credit Rating should not be based only on past financial statements Moody’s argues that their methodology uses both quantitative and qualitative approaches to arrive at the rating outcomes. The idea of credit rating started as early as the 20th…
Why Martinez Should Not Be Released on Compassion Release for the Elderly Tony C. Martinez, who has been in custody for 20 years and was accused of murdering a 39-year-old woman in the presence of her children, should continue to be held in prison facilities. Martinez, who was convicted of first-degree murder, is still guilty for his crimes. I believe that guilty people deserve to be punished proportionally to their crimes. Killing his wife in the presence of the children despite the passage of time remains a painful loss for the children, and his release would revive the suffering. Martinez, therefore, deserves to stay locked up and punished for his atrocious crime and violent conduct until the end of his term or life. Evaluation of the murder shows that the victim was defenseless and unprotected during the crime, and the evidence directly points to the accused, which proved beyond the reasonable doubt of his guilt. However, his release at such a time would be inappropriate. This is because he has no family as the children though grown-up is unwilling to…
Episodic vs Climatic Structure Episodic structure is a structure which involves many characters and locations, it has extended time, and besides the main theme, there are sub-themes in between. The climatic structure is whereby the action is condensed, and it has both limited characters and locations (Valančiūnas, 2017). Majority of today’s movies fits the climatic structure because the movies compress a larger part of the key topic into smaller portions to ensure that the plot of the movie becomes exciting to the viewers. Additionally, climatic structure movies have few characters and do not take longer times; hence they are unlikely to confuse the viewers. A favorite movie that I ever watch is the Slumdog Millionaire which was produced by two co-directors, Loveleen Tandan and Christian Colson, explaining the touching story of the young, ambitious Jamal Malik who used to reside in slums. Some of the stars who feature in the film include Jamal Malik, Salim and Latika. Salim was brother to Jamal, and he was desperate of becoming rich, and he would risk doing anything to become rich. Latika was…
Comparative and Rhetorical Analysis Argumentative writing is one of the fields in literature that require a combination of great artistries. Successful and outstanding argumentative articles are relevant to their target audiences, use appropriate tones, and have clear purposes according to Aristotle. In other words, they must have a value and be appealing and engaging to their audiences. However, how can such works be identified? This essay explores the art of distinguishing between excellent and poor argumentative writings using a comparative and rhetorical analysis of four works on the “dark side of technology.” The works include the article “Is Google Making Us Stupid” by Nicholas Carr, the TED talk “Connected, but Alone,” by Sherry Turkle, the spoken word“Touchscreen” by Marshall Soulful Jones, and the scholarly article “The Effect of Technology on Face-to-Face Communication” by Drago. While they pursue different pieces of evidence and approaches to support the premise that humans are in a race against the machine, the works also effectively employ pathos and logos and portray strong ethos, which makes them purposefully, appealing, and engaging. In “Is Google Making Us…
