Hidden Figures Response Informative Summary Hidden Figures Hidden figures can be understood from two dimensions. First, it is a term that refers to West Computer Group’s African-American female, such as Mary, Dorothy, and Katherine, who were mathematicians and engineers at NASA. Second, it relates to mathematics, figures, and equations that were not remembered or had not been found out, which would make possible the human spacecraft. Initially, Mary, Dorothy, and Katherine had been racially discriminated against due to early sexist and racism in America, making them be isolated. They had been sealed off in an old building’s basement, which was far away from their equivalent male and female whites. The Americans did not believe that including them in the project of defeating the Russian’s spacecraft will be a good idea since they seemed valueless. Later, they were included in the program, which made them put an extra effort into discovering the equations and numbers that realized human spacecraft. Hidden figures, therefore remind people to remain focused on the abilities of others through past and present knowledge. Impossible miracles Despite Mary…
Book Review: Do Muslim Women Need Saving?, Harvard University Press, 2013 by Lila Abu-Lughod Lila Abu-Lughod, in her book, Do Muslim Women Need Saving?, boldly challenges the report propagated by the media and human rights groups about the need of Muslim women to be rescued, the frequent message of honor murders, sensational abuse, and disfigurement that both claims have resulted to a rise to a firm consensus in the West. Lila Abu-Lughod is an anthropologist who, in the last thirty years, has been narrating about the Arab women.

Authoritarianism and poverty are common conditions in the Islamic world and made out of world interconnections that finger out…

Scientific Thinking and Metacognition Introduction Scientific thinking is the purposeful thinking about any scientific content, subject or problem whose objective is to enhance the thinker’s knowledge (Akerson, et al 2018). This means that scientific thinking is not something people have; it is something they do. Metacognition simply means what you know about your own thoughts and it includes the ability to think about your own thinking. Scientific thinking relates to intelligence testing in that the latter is used to determine the intelligence quotient of a scientist by assessing their achievements in intellectual developments. On the other hand, the concept of metacognition is linked with learning theories and is equated with the construction of self-regulated learning in terms of problem solving and learning evaluations (Kaufman A.S 2018). The evidence shows that there is a close relationship between scientific thinking and metacognition which helps to achieve the school goals for both middle and late childhood education. According to Harper (2018), the Tribrachic theory of intelligence classifies intelligence in to three; the analytic skills, the practical skill and the creativity. However, Sternberg asserted…
Orem’s Self-Care Deficit Nursing Theory According to the theory, there should be a deliberate effort by an individual patient and the nurse in achieving the desired healthcare outcomes (Orem, 2017). The approach is anchored on various concepts that are aimed at improving healthcare practice in a manner consistent with the desire to self-care among the patients or as induced by the nurse. Orem’s self-care deficit nursing theory is anchored in several assumptions, such as both self-care and dependent care are learned behaviors within a given socio-cultural context (Orem, 2017). Again, it holds that nursing is an interaction between two parties, and achieving any desirable outcome needs a collective responsibility between the parties (Sharifi et al., 2017). The theory also rides on the assumption that an individual’s knowledge of probable health problems is vital in promoting self-care behaviors in society (Orem, 2017). Concerning the self-care deficit, nursing is critical when an individual is unable or incapable of providing effective and continuous self-care. Based on the assertions of the Orem’s theory in nursing, it could play an essential role in improving the…

People have a right to Death with Dignity Assisted by the Medical Professionals This claim gives a discourse to an issue of policy because it brings to attention the question of compassion and necessity and medical ethics. The petition earnestly persuades the general audience to take a keen initiative on the issue of whether to allow a patient to die in dignity. That those in the medical profession have a duty to assist patients to die in the manner, they so wish, especially if they are suffering a terminal disease. A substantiation issue is as well subtly implanted in this claim in the sense that assisting a patient to die can be seen as a form of Physician-Assisted Suicide (PAS). An issue of evaluation partly comes into this claim because a physician makes available a lethal substance to a terminal patient, who takes the lethal substance by themselves. If the patient is not capable of doing it themselves, the physician does it upon their request which involves administering the lethal substance to the patient hence terminating their lives. As regards…
