He is a member of the black American community. He was asked to choose one last event in American history, give out his opinions, and explain how this event would bring changes to the United States of America. He decided to speak about the former president of the United States of America, Barrack Obama. Mr. Smith was asked to give a candid opinion about Mr. Obama’s victory in the 2008 presidential elections. He submitted that he never looked forward to such an occurrence in the American soil. That a member of his black American community would win presidential nominations, and the most prominent seat in the country too was unthinkable.

Activism involves action which is going beyond what has been made convectional. Activism can be done door to door; it can also be done through the radio, in rallies or public meetings. Therefore, health activism is involving challenging the powers and the orders which are perceived to be influencing important aspect of health negatively. One of the ways that I have demonstrated activism is through the use of social media to address the issue of social discrimination in health care facilities (Parker, Kantroo, Lee, Osornio, Sharma & Grinter, 2012). The use of the media has helped me to address social discrimination in health care in order to create a positive impact on nursing about the patients’ outcomes. Research has shown that patients who are poor and have low income are discriminated in most of health care. They are not given enough care as compared to patients who are coming from wealthy backgrounds. This is an aspect that has made most of the patients end up dying, and some may take a long time to recover since they are discriminated against,…
Sampling and Sampling Distributions Sampling is one of the main concepts that are used in modern statistics. This process can be described as the selection of elements from a certain set in which elements have some common qualities. This activity is based on the assumption that it is possible to understand the properties of a certain population by examining a part of this population (Allen 51). This is the main premise that statisticians rely on. One should bear in mind that in this context the term population is applied not only to a certain group of people. It is used to describe a collection of entities, for example, automotive parts, households, products, or any other elements (Allen 51). Thus, one can say that this concept is applicable to various fields. This is one of the main issues that should be considered. Overall, researchers should take several steps in order to ensure the validity of their studies. In particular, they should identify the characteristics of the population and choose the elements that have these characteristics. For example, one can…

Developing a compensation package for employees Question One In developing a compensation package for employees, I will first start by establishing pay philosophy. The compensation plan that I develop may include other benefits, not on the pay scale, such as health insurance, performance-based rewards on top of basic pay, and also giving leave traveling allowances (LTT). These benefits will help motivate employees to do their hence higher retention rates. Winnipeg may decide to cover 100% of all medical costs, either inpatient or outpatient, if they occurred in the line of duty. Further, the organization may adopt paying for health insurance for the employee. So as to retain more employees, an appreciation package is given of any employee who reaches five years of service within Winnipeg. For example, paying 1.5 times the salary in the fifth year per month. A critical analysis will be done on how much our competitors are offering their employees. Giving higher pay compared to competitors will help the employees focus on their responsibilities. Winnipeg may adopt other benefits not provided by competitors. Offering overtime pay is…
Immigration and laws related to Immigration Immigration Background Immigration has increased over the last years in the U.S. Measures have, as a result, been sought to curb the rising numbers. Strict measures have been instituted since President Trump took office in 2017 (Bachega, 2018). The debate, however, exists regarding the strictness of the immigration measures as regards due process and equal protection. Human rights activists, for example, have been against the detaining of immigrants for undefined periods. It is important to note that illegally crossing the U.S. border deems an individual an illegal alien. As such, the individual is detained and separated from any child or children accompanying the individual. The constitution, under the Fourteenth Amendment, focuses on equal protection as far as the law is concerned (Cornell Law School, n.d.). It, therefore, means that immigrants naturalized in the U.S. have equal rights as any other American citizen. Depriving such a person, life, freedom, and property without due process is equivalent to breaking the law. It is in this regard that the undefined detention period of people is under debate.…

Final Paper Name Institution Course Code and Name Instructor Due Date Final Paper Question 1 Police pursuits can create a dangerous situation for the police, eluder, and other parties such as civilians (“Police Chase Law and Legal Definition | USLegal, Inc.”, 2019). Fred’s parents can sue the police by filing a police pursuit lawsuit. Fred was intoxicated, as indicated by the color of his eyes and odor. He had been cited five more times; thus, the police officer in question had probable cause to stop Fred. It is not clear what medical treatment Fred had sought in his prior arrests. However, the fact that he had sought medical treatment on two occasions is indicative of underlying health issues. The officer assisted Fred out of his car and did not use unnecessary force. In this case, Fred’s family cannot sue the police on the grounds of unnecessary force during an arrest. Fred intimated that he would be in the obituaries if the police arrested him. The officer…
Does Freedom of Speech Give People the Right to Use Hate Speech? “What is freedom of expression? Without the freedom to offend, it ceases to exist.” The quote perfectly sums up the never-ending debate about freedom of speech and hate speech. It is a well-known fact that freedom of speech and expression belongs to the group of fundamental human rights of every person on this planet. Lately, we are witnessing the rising concerns about hate speech, is it protected by this fundamental human right or freedom of speech should have some limitations? Given the fact that every individual is allowed to express thoughts and beliefs, banning the negative comments would deny his or her fundamental rights i.e., freedom of speech. Freedom of speech reinforces all other human rights, thus allowing society to develop and progress at a constant rate. The ability to state our opinion and speak freely is pivotal for any change in society. Throughout history, society evolved thanks to individuals, great thinkers, brave leaders, who were not scared to express their beliefs. Back in time, those beliefs that…
