Sweat lodge rituals Sweat lodge rituals are conducted in a dome-shaped low profile hut that is made out of natural materials. The lodge is the structure itself, and the rituals are commonly called purification ceremonies. The lodge is made up of saplings covered with either animal skin or blankets. They are generally simple structures that do not require significant skills to construct. Indigenous Americans and plain Indians originally used the structure. However, with the growth of pan-Indianism, numerous nations, including African nations, have adopted sweat lodges. Sweat lodges rituals are of great importance in indigenous culture. One of the greatest importance of the sweat lodge rituals, according to the video, is that the lodge offers a place for purification. Members of the indigenous culture visited the place to strengthen or renew their connections with God. It is also a place of emotional release since people visited there to express their dire emotions. It is a place where indigenous people visited to learn more about themselves. The sweat lodges were critical in forming or improving their connections with God. We also…
RedBull International Outlook Redbull is one of the leading energy drinks in the world with a market presence in different countries. The approach that Redbull has undertaken has been an international approach with the products that are used in the drinks being constant and thus has led to Redbull facing a mixed experience among its consumers.

The American dream The American dream is the conviction that everyone regardless of nationality, class, or ethnicity, can attain their form of success in a society where progression for everyone is possible. The dream is attained from risks, sacrifice and hard work rather than chance as some individuals perceive. The United States of America attained, the name, “the land of opportunity,” as it possessed all the needed infrastructure that supported political and economic freedoms. The dream further promises freedoms when making personal and business decisions, as well as freedoms to accumulate wealth and lead the desired life. The statements promoted millions of people from all over the world to immigrate to the U.S. However, they failed to consider that America was a country with numerous inequalities and insecurities. The American dream conceived by Thomas Jefferson saw each citizen have the right to life, autonomy and happiness. However, the dream was not a guarantee of the results; various historical events learnt in schools identify various ways the American dream is flawed. The spread of the settlers into the lands of the…
Nurses Responsibility in Treating Pain Pain treatment in individuals varies according to the nature and type of discomfort experienced by the patient. Some pains are acute, while others may be chronic or can emanate from a condition of a patient getting palliative care (Czarnecki & Turner, 2018). Besides, pain is not only physiological but may also be emotional, psychological, or spiritual. Therefore, it is the responsibility of the registered nurse in charge to accurately diagnose the cause of the pain in a patient so that they can administer the correct paint management strategy with little side effects (Czarnecki & Turner, 2018). This paper discusses the role of the registered nurse in treating pain in patients. While there are myths and rumors that may contribute to improper pain treatment among patients, it is the responsibility of the registered nurse to discharge their duties according to the procedures laid out and be accountable for every action taken while administering treatment. The nurse should ensure that whatever pain relief measures used adheres to the nursing regulations and standards. Further, it is the responsibility…
Events Leading to The Formation of the United States November 20, 1620. The Mayflower Compacts The English settlers set a compact of rules that would be used for self-governance. The settlers knew that a world that is not governed by rules would be catastrophic, and therefore they agreed to set a body rules that would control their way of life (History.com Editors). I chose this event since it was vital in laying the foundation for self-governance, the democracy that the United States enjoys today. It played a significant role in making the colonialists seeking freedom from the British and was also vital in shaping the countries that would eventually become the United States. This was the beginning of the rules that would be set to govern the welfare of the people of the United States, including their bill of rights. It is through the progressive coding of these rules that helped the residents of America to come up with their own constitution. May 28. 1628 The Petition Right This was a petition that was sent to the English parliament to…

First Neolithic City causes Massacre My reading of “First Neolithic City Was So Overcrowded People Started Trying to Kill Each Other” reveals how overcrowding or overpopulation can cause violence or Massacre. When a small space or city is overcrowded, conflicts are likely to arise due to competition for limited resources. Everyone desires to live in a city where there is enough personal space. Lack of own such space can trigger violence or differences, which can precipitate the situation into unprecedented violence or massacres. The significance of this reading is the importance of proper urban planning. Cities that are appropriately planned are likely to solve problems such as overcrowding. Urban planners can learn from this reading the need to take seriously urban planning to avoid overcrowding in cities. If a city is planned correctly, it becomes possible to some level to solve the problem of congestion because the movement of people would be guided (Weisberger, 2019). However, this is not mean that population growth in a city can only be solved by proper planning. Usually, when a city is planned, the…
Wells’ Invisible Man Wells’ Invisible Man rewrites and answers the tale of Gyges of Plato’s Republic. Griffin possesses the same power of invisibility that Gyges has and the same desire to commit a crime and getting away with the crime. The Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison is a story in which the storyteller presents himself as an “invisible man.” He states that his invisibility is not related to any supernatural cause or any biochemical accident. However, his invisibility is contributed to the fact that other individuals are unwilling to acknowledge his presence because of his colour. The speaker’s invisibility has served as a frequent augmentation and as an advantage. Sometimes, the narrator doubts his existence because of being invisible[1]. The narrator describes his pain and needs to make other individuals spot him, and he declares that he found that such efforts do not succeed. He recounts an incident in which he bumped into a blonde man in the dark. The tall, blond male insulted him, and the narrator attacked him, demanding an apology. “He hurled the blond man to the…
Sexual Assault on College Campus The problem Sexual assault on campus is a common phenomenon in institutions of higher education in the United States. A study examining the prevalence of sexual assault in campuses reveals that female students bear the greatest burden of sexual assault victimization (Winerman, 2018). The author revealed that the percentage of women who become victims of sexual assault vary between 19 and 27 per cent while the data on male victims vary between 6 and 8 per cent. The phenomenon of sexual assault has invited federal, state, and local responses. In 2015, 27 per cent of female students revealed that they had encountered sexual assault (Withers, 2019). The phenomenon manifests in unwanted contact. Sexual assault on campus has attracted significant attention from the media and the federal government. Historically, university administrators had the exclusive jurisdiction of adjudicating on cases of sexual assault and rape in universities, away from the criminal justice system. Victims of sexual assault encounter devastating consequences which can affect their learning and normal life (Withers, 2019). Due to the increased focus on sexual…
Sexual Orientation As A Diverse Need And Its Impact On Family Modern society is learning to adjust and accept the differences that exist in humans. One significant difference in human beings is sexual orientation. People show different levels of sexual orientation, but for a long time, society has only been forced to align itself to a single sexual orientation (Savin-Williams, 2001). The variation in sexual needs has had an impact on families and society as a whole. Some scientists believe that sexual orientation is not a choice; instead, it is a need that is driven by different factors. The focus of the paper is to evaluate the concept of sexual orientation as a diverse need in modern families. Prevalence Of Different Sexual Orientation Needs People have always exhibited different sexual orientations throughout history. However, in most societies, heterosexuality has always been accepted, while other patters of sexual orientation like homosexuality, bisexuality, and asexuality are not generally accepted (D’Augelli, 1994). Each of these states represents a wide variety of sexual orientation needs. A sexual or romantic attraction that exhibited between persons…
