Evaluation of Aspects in the HIV/AIDS Strategic Plan Evaluation The vision of the program is to ensure a future generation free of HIV. The mission to support the vision is to promote health and quality of life. That is, by preventing new infections, illnesses, and deaths that arise from HIV in the United States. The statements are well articulated in the opening message of the report by the directors. The directors’ message retaliates that Strategic Plan 2017–2020 is a blueprint of achieving its vision of making a future free of HIV. That way, to emphasize the need to focus on the work, the program was established (Van Der Hoek, Groeneveld & Kuipers, 2016). About that, the core values of the program and its functions have been linked. The functions of the program include devising and implementing all activities aimed at helping the federal government achieve its HIV prevention goals. Several values are directed towards achieving that. For example, the program embraces the ideas of collaboration, diversity, respect, and equity, among others. The values are a pool of attributes of a…

Why Young People Are Having Less Sex Social and cultural values are at the heart of child development and influence on one’s sex life. Research indicates there many young people are having less sex as compared to the previous generation group, with a rate declining from 54% to 40% (Julian, 2018). Changes in social-cultural and moral values in society, along with the emergency of new technology, contribute to the changes in social life and sex practices among teenage and young adults. Many reasons are seeking to explain why young people are having less sex, including a decrease in childhood sexual abuse, which leads to promiscuous and precocious sexual behavior. The cited cause of young people having less sex is the fact that young are satisfying sexual desires using other means, not with other people. The paper explores how young people are using different ways to satisfy sex desires as the reason why young people are having less sex. The rate of intercourse has been declining over the years; however, it does not mean young people are not experiencing sexual desires.…

Conformity Research Introduction The ability of individuals to match attitudes, behaviors, responses, and beliefs to those of others depends on the influence the society has on them. People often tend to conform to societal or group norms rather than pursuing their desires. The urge of security elicits such a tactic felt around the group or adverse effects of peer pressure. Asch and Milgram’s Conformity Studies According to Asch’s experiment, the conditions that influence a person’s conformity to a group’s pressure are the size of the majority, presence of an alternative dissenter, and public or private nature of the responses. To begin with, the higher the numbers of individuals in a group in support of an idea, the more an individual’s answer is likely to be affected (Jetten & Hornsey, 2012). Likewise, conformity is more likely to occur when responses are public rather than private. The social influences behind this behavior, as evaluated by Asch, are the normative and informational social influences. In the case of normative factors, people tend to conform to acquire acceptance, fit in the group, and feel…

Benchmark Brain Death Scenario             In the world of healthcare coverage, a problematic condition is a problem that the medical practitioner will still contend with every day. The circumstance provided in this task necessitates crucial decisions that impact the patient’s life. In this case, the 45-year-old patient does not satisfy all the state-defined requirements for reporting brain death. However, the patient suffers from severe brain injury (Pozgar, 2012). The patient cannot render any professional judgment in the circumstance of his or her condition. The patient’s family also has to decide for the patient, and the relatives do not usually accept one opinion. In this situation, as a hospital administrator, all ethical considerations and all legal troubles ought to be discussed (Pozgar, 2012). The patient in the case is experiencing tremendously but does not collapse as a total brain death underneath the guidelines, which may place the medical practitioners in a state of doubt. The care practitioners will not be able to pick the direction they have to follow for the patient to go on with a procedure. It will provide…

 Is Thomas Nagel Death writing consoling?  Is Thomas Nagel Death writing consoling?http://dbanach.com/death.htm OPTION FOUR: Philosophical Analysis—Nagel’s Death Essay Argue either, “Nagel’s essay is consoling” (in an objective sense, not just for you personally) or “Nagel’s essay is not consoling” (in an objective sense, not just for you personally). Note that I have not defined what “consoling” might mean: that’s for you to do (ethically, psychologically, philosophically, none-of-the-above?)! Again, as I said in one of the Paper#2 options—nuance, complexity, contradiction, tension, and etc. are not voided by taking a stand; you just don’t want to straddle the fence. I will add: Nagel himself, being a professional philosopher, knows how to “definitively” argue a point and, presumably, is after “truth” (irrespective if that truth is a seemingly happy pill or a sad pill). And yet at the same time there may be argumentative maneuvers or an overall rhetoric that makes him “hold his punches” for the quasi-popular audience he is writing for. Or maybe he is too ″philosophical″ and ignores what any person living-in-time (and subject to, as it were, the irrationality of…

death of the scene shifter The supernatural is definitely more unsettling than the reality. The ghost is given credit for inexplicable events in the story like the death of the scene shifter, Joseph Buquet. The fact that everyone in the Opera claims to have met the ghost gives more credence to these stories. The ghost is described as having no eyes, just dark sockets whose ends were not visible. The skin was also draped over its bones and had a yellowish hue, which gave it a startling look. The ghost also made Sorelli put a horseshoe on the table in front of the stage-door-keepers box, which everyone entering the Opera had to touch before gaining entry. This shows how the perceived ghost had driven fear into the people in the Opera House. The Opera had experienced several tragedies that defined its history. The most recent occurrence had been the dramatic kidnapping of one of the singers in the Opera, Christine Daae, the tragedy that befell the Chagne brothers with the younger one disappearing and the murder of the elder one.…

The first top priority measure is to option adequate information about the virus, including transition and preventive measures, to educate the public to cushion themselves from contracting…

HAMLET′S MADNESS I′m going to give you an example of how my teacher wants you to write this paper. Scholars debate whether Hamlet is feigning madness or is actually mad. However, the madness comes in stages. From the start, Hamlet is distraught with the death of his father, “O that this too too solid flesh would melt” (Line 129). Or is he? There must be something else bothering him, “that the everlasting had not fixed/ His canon “against self-slaughter” (131-132). Perhaps there is something wrong in Denmark, “tis an unweeded garden/ that grows to seed” (135-136). But the evidence implicates that Hamlet is mad about Gertrude’s hasty marriage “two months dead. Nay not so much… So excellent a king. That was to his Hyperion to a satyr” (138 and 140). I left three sources in the files for the main source we are to use the play. I′m going to give you an example of how my teacher wants you to write this paper. Scholars debate whether Hamlet is feigning madness or is actually mad. However, the madness comes in…
