Role of Power and Inequality in Crime Causation Crime causation can be understood as a means of connecting criminal conduct with a resulting effect. Different scholars came up with theories to explain crime causation as explained in the subsequent paragraphs; The Role of Inequality in Crime Causation The link between inequality and crime is stressed by the ecological theories of crime, the social disorganization theory and strain theory (Winters, Globokar & Roberson, 2014). In the economic theory of crime, Becker (1968) individuals allocate time for market and criminal activities by comparing the expected return from each. In this case, inequality leads to crime by placing low- income individuals who have low returns from their market activities to those high-income individuals who have things worth stealing (Winters et al. 2014). Moreover, the economic theory of crime shows how areas of high inequality place poor individuals to engage in criminal activities. Strain Theory According to (Winters et al. 2014), strain theory argues that, when faced with the relative success of others around them, unsuccessful individuals feel frustrated with their situation. According to…
How nursing has changed with training The nursing profession has evolved with a tremendous change in its practice, policies and qualification of the caregivers. This profession nevertheless remains that of caring and giving better services to those in need, especially the sick. The health care sector would not be the same today without the notable nurses who played a significant role in this profession. Presently, the business is one of the most respected careers, and it takes a lot of dedication to be fully certified as a nurse. During the start of the nursing profession, it had very little to do with proper training and women would learn the nursing skills from their mothers or other women who were practising nursing. By then, it was not a respected profession, and perhaps that was the reason why it was practised by women.one of the unusual changes that occurred in the job was the training of the caregivers. Preparation of the nurses was limited to basic principles during the beginning of the profession. Previously, training of nurses was not necessary, and the…

News Coverage The heated and stiff primary of The New Hampshire election came to an end this week after Bernie Sanders was declared the leader with twenty-six percent of the vote, and 94 percent reporting from the precincts. One of the core observations that I can derive from this primary is that Sanders ‘ predicted victory tonight comes just over a week after the Iowa caucuses were thrown into chaos by a breakdown in voting-counting processes by the state party (semeraro, 2020). The findings were clear this time around–and Sanders supporters were free to celebrate without reservation at its Manchester office. Sanders dominated the 2016 election here by a somewhat more significant margin but confronted a much broader and more diverse electorate in 2020. As presidential elections are just around the corner, the aspiring candidates are taking different ways of getting their way to the white house. One of them is multibillionaire Michael Bloomberg, who is taking the lead from the popular strategies Barack Obama and Bernie Sanders built in the past, he is relying on the power of social media in an…
Network Models It today’s technology, data transfer is very crucial in ensuring that data from the transmitter reaches the receiver in the original state. Ideally, information from the sender is supposed to reach its destination while it is noise-free. Also, the information should only be received by authorized parties; however, due to pollution in transmission channels by hackers and noise, sometimes the message received may be distorted. Since the main goal during transmission is to achieve such ideal situations where no data is lost, pundits in the technology industry saw it wise to implement network models that could help in the exchange of information. Two major network models are used today in information exchange. The models include the OSI model and the TCP/IP model. To fully decipher these models, this paper focuses on the similarities and differences between the two models, besides the layers making up the models and how data is processed between the layers within the models. To understand the differences, similarities, and how information is handled between these models, it is vital first to examine each model.…
Discussing Naomi Klein’s, “This Changes Everything” Naomi Klein mentions the Marshall plan for earth as a viable solution to address climate change and global warming. By the Marshall plan, she refers to pulling all resources together and systems to avert the climate crisis. According to Klein, a mass climate movement stands as the strongest probable solution to saving the environment and is a historic opportunity for the current generation. Klein feels that the majority of individuals are still ignorant of the climate change issue, which only worsens the situation as little is done in formulating and following through with concrete policies. With the Marshall plan, environmental crisis becomes a pressing cause similar to politics and economics, and societies will hence be forced to act in ways and implement practices that are in line with minimizing environmental degradation (Klein). Not only will the Marshall plan lead to far-reaching changes in the environment, but will also minimize the gap between the rich and poor and massively improve lives. New jobs will be created that ensure the local economies run in coherence with the…
Climate change and its threat to food production Climate change Climate change is a defining issue at the moment. These are because of the shifting weather pattern that brings a threat to food production, animals, and more so to human beings. Due to these changes increase of risks, impacts of climate change are global and need drastic action. Adapting to these impacts would be costly and more difficult. Temperature rise is the most concern change in most regions that appears in most areas worldwide. Scientist proves that global temperatures would continue to rise even for decades to come. These are due to man’s activities from the greenhouses gases. The amount of heat change would determine the ability to trap these gases. The world experts agree that the industrial revolution of the greenhouse effect brings a harsh environment that is born from agricultural, technological, demographic, thus creating a model of production and consumption.also a new geological period of Anthropocene characterizes humans impacts that bring temperature rise. The global temperature change increase brings disastrous consequences that not only endangers humans but also…
Cognitive changes and physical changes Cognitive changes and physical changes are likely to occur during adulthood stage. So many years of the human life cycle are spent during the adulthood period. Cognitive changes affect the memory and reasoning of adults. Loss of skin elasticity and diminished muscle reaction are some frequent physical changes among adults. At the late life, social, spiritual, work, and family factors play a critical role. Physical and cognitive changes during adulthood vary from one person to another. At adulthood, senses tend to become less sensitive (Corder, 2019). The decline in hearing and vision is a common physical change at the late stage of human life. At the adolescent stage, human beings have very sharp eyesight and hearing capability. As human beings approach the adulthood age, hearing and vision capability decreases significantly. At adulthood stage, the immune system of human beings is weakened. During earlier years, human beings have a robust immune system. For instance, children recover quickly for any illness. However, for the adults, this is not the case. Adults are susceptible to diabetes and cancer…
Treatment for heroin Heroin use disorder has different treatment options, which include behavioral and pharmaceutical approaches. Pharmaceutical approaches involve the use of three types of drugs, namely agonists, which are responsible for the activation of opioid receptors, partial agonists, and antagonists, which change the effects of opioids. The behavioral approach includes the cognitive therapies and contingency systems where the patients are rewarded when they test negative for heroin tests. These treatment options work because they ease the withdrawal symptoms such as nausea, pain, and vomiting, which may affect the victim when they suddenly stop using the drug. They also work because they change the behavioral perceptions of a person and encourage healthy living. Pharmaceutical side effects include habit forming, tiredness, and some are highly addictive. Physical therapies may lower the self-esteem of the victim because they may feel they have failed the society ( Addiction center, 2020). Question 2: Trends for opioid medications Opium medications are highly active on the brain and can produce pleasure because they affect areas involved in reward. Oxytocin is a powerful painkiller that is prescribed…
