Colonization of the Middle East The Middle East encompasses the countries of Egypt, Iran, Turkey and Yemen. European countries that colonized the Middle East include the British, Germany and French. The British colonized the Middle East in order to acquire political and economic consolidation. The British invaded the Middle East in order to gain control of the Ottoman Empire, Maintain political and economic stability in Iran and the Persian Gulf and to secure their trade routes in the east of the Mediterranean. The British were aiming to safeguard both land and sea routes to India because they were using such routes to import and export goods both to and from Britain. Additionally, the British invaded the Middle East in order to control the Ottoman Empire and prevent competition from other European superpowers such as France. The British exported cotton textiles, Indian and sugar to the Middle East and acquired cotton, barley and leather from Egypt. British gained full control of Cairo in 1882 (Rubin, 2017).

Are you sick of paradise? In his poem, “Of Paradise,” Jay Hopler uses figurative language to convey the message; Paradise is not what it seems. The poet captures scenes from his life in Florida and turns them into despair in disguise. According to the McGraw Hill Poetic Glossary, Figurative Language is, “A form of language use in which writers and speakers convey something other than the literal meaning of their words.” It can include hyperbole, exaggeration, litotes or understatements, simile and metaphor, and synecdoche and metonymy. For this particular poem, the poet uses this technique to convince the reader that there is a meaning behind the words. I am interested to see how similes and the comparison of opposites are used to convey the deeper message of the poem. Glancing at the poem, I automatically notice two similes: “Black as zero is useless” and “Black as grammar school.” These two similes describe the fly mentioned in the beginning. “Black as a zero is useless” is a metaphor for death and zero implies nothingness (III. 1 – 2). After reading…
Oxygen and it’s Important to Life Oxygen is a colorless odorless and tasteless gas that supports life on earth. It is formed through the binding of two oxygen molecules to form a diatomic molecule. Oxygen is essential for generating energy, which is required for biological respiration. Cellular respiration a complex biological process that occurs in all living cells makes use of oxygen molecules to break down complex organic molecules such as sugars, proteins, lipids, and fats into simpler molecules that can be used by cells to generate energy. An example of these simpler molecules is glucose from sugars and amino acids from proteins (Han et al., 2011). In this process, oxygen is the only molecule with a capacity to capture the reactive electron from Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) or Flavin adenine dinucleotide (FADH using the hydrogen transporter molecules during respiration and as a result forms water. Over accumulation of NADH or FADH2 can terminate the process of respiration. One unique feature of oxygen is that it is relatively soluble in water. This makes it possible to support aquatic plants and…
The Preacher The chapter is dedicated to the religious community because it plays an oversized role. The religious community does not only provide spiritual services to society, but it also has a significant socio-economic and political role (Venkatesh 225). Therefore, as a central pillar of the community, its inclusion in the book’s discourse — urban poverty, is necessary. The various denominations, particularly Christianity, is an essential stakeholder in the economic sphere of the Maquis Park economic activity. According to Venkatesh, the role of the church in the area’s economic activities was necessitated by the vacuum created by the lack of formal services from the government. For instance, the absence of social services forced the clergy to intervene and offer some of these services, including employment referrals (215). Additionally, the clergy also engaged in political activism to ensure enhanced representation of African-Americans. Nevertheless, these measures were not enough to lift most of the residents out of poverty. Consequently, the church had to take a more pro-active role in the economic welfare of its congregants. The move entailed the formation of self-help…
How has the problem of human trafficking been addressed through international agreements and domestic legislation? Human trafficking has emerged as a criminal enterprise that is growing very fast in the world and the second largest. Victims of trafficking are forced to work in such settings as brothels, sex, and strip clubs. As the challenge of human trafficking continues to devastate a life, states have sought to address the issue through the development of domestic legislation and international policies. Mallicoat asserts that despite the differences in a standard adopted by different jurisdictions, there have been three general themes that guide these efforts. These include a commitment to the prosecution of individual traffickers, seeking to protect the victims of trafficking, and engaging in actions that attempt to prevent human trafficking (86). For example, in the United States, the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 is critical legislation in the process. It advocates for the punishment of traffickers, offers protection to the victims, and calls for active prevention efforts at the community level to fight human trafficking. Identify one strategy discussed by the…

Literature Review: Transformational Leadership and its influence on Organizational Citizenship Behavior Abstract Transformational leadership denotes a style where leaders work together with their followers to better their situation and move away from the status quo. The theory also includes having a leader that is more concerned about the welfare of their people. Such leaders are visionary and work towards ensuring that their people buy in the dream and trust in the process bringing change and bettering their lives. In a work situation, the concept of transformational leadership should work hand in hand with organizational citizenship behavior. It should encourage the workforce to commit voluntarily to the organization beyond their contractual terms and conditions. Such employees became attached and made more discretionary efforts in their performance at work. Employees and followers who extend their required duties at work and perform more discretionary choices always do so because of a motivating factor that they experience. One of the tenets of transformational leadership is the focus on motivating and inspiring followers to do more and achieve better results and outcomes. …

Prevalence of childhood obesity In reference to the PICOT question regarding the prevalence of childhood obesity, it is arguable that all the studies articles have reflected on the elements that were found to influence obesity in children. In this case, it is seen that social-economic factors, parental education, and nursing interventions, influence childhood obesity. This is one of the traits that has been confirmed by the four studies under different study settings. That is, in a summation, all studies have concluded social factors, parental education, nursing intervention, and economic factors such as income influence childhood obesity. Another similarity between the four articles is that all have a hypothesis attributed to the condition being tested. They have also engaged rigorous research inapproving the hypothesized attributes pertaining environmental factors and childhood obesity. Equally, the studies, both qualitative and quantitative, are empirical; that is, they have engaged detailed and measured statistics and non-numeric data that has a provable rationale. Moreover, all articles are systematic in terms of investigation. That is, they have a hypothesis and a problem of investigation whose results reflective their…
