Should minors be allowed to buy birth control without parental consent? I had to convince my mother to the positive side of minors and birth controls. I have been through peer pressure about sex and everyone around me at some point started to visualize sexual interaction as a normality. And the fact that people around me were engaging in it didn’t drive me to rush straight to it but neither did I judge them for what they were doing as long as what they wanted to do. However what was more of a worry to me was that all my friends didn’t want their parents knowing they were sexually active at a young age and neither did they involve them in getting birth control. When I talked to them and tried to find out why it was a bad idea to talk to their parents especially “the mothers” about the sex life and birth controls most of them said that the parent won’t do more than overreacting and give them pep talks about sex. As I talked to one of…

Policy Brief on Russia’s Interference with EU Elections Summary Russia has recently adopted a high stakes approach to enforcing its international and ge-political agenda in different parts of the world (Delcour, 2016). By meddling in, or sometimes even interfering with election in these target countries, Russia can alter the outcomes according to predetermined objectives aligned with its own agenda or those of tactical allies. The West is currently concerned about Russia’s recent change in tactic; more so after reports that the same strategy may have influenced President Trump, Prime Minister Theresa May and other political leaders in their respective capacities. While the US appeared conflicted in its reactions to the Russian activities, the EU is not keen to allow its long-time arch-nemesis to tamper with any of its electioneering activities. Several EU countries have been identified as having suffered or being targeted by Russia in the same manner. Some of these countries were targeted due to national elections, while others were targeted due to their affiliation with the EU (Averre, 2007). The UK, Germany, and France were victims based on…

Strategies That Promote Culturally Sensitive Health Care The future of nursing science is expected to experience remarkable growth and influence topics that have possible cultural outcomes in health care. The year 2010 was monumental in nursing practice in that the Institute of Medicine published the Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health. The future of nursing is a vision that aims at how the roles of nurses and education should be transformed to serve the demand for healthcare developed by the health care reform to improve the health system of the country (Shaffer, 2019). The future of nursing extends the expectations of nursing to 2030. It offers direction that will help the nation reduce health disparities, develop a health culture, and improve the health of the American citizens. A topic such as transcultural nursing includes cultural implications of the future of nursing to the nursing field. With transcultural nursing, nurses can appreciate and recognize differences in customs, beliefs, and healthcare values of the patients.

supporting the concept of ontogenetic roots of altruism The best piece of evidence which can be used to demonstrate that people are born with compassion and kindness is that whenever they have opportunities for helping, infants tend to so, even without external rewards (Bloom). This fact has been proven empirically by scientists. Besides, the other two alternative reasons for altruism generally are compliance with social norms and imitation. These two alternatives can be eliminated because infants are not capable of internalizing value systems such as altruism. Also, infants who demonstrate prosocial behavior cannot be said to have imitated the same from adults because they have little interaction (Warneken and Tomasello 464). The best research method of generating evidence to support the concept of ontogenetic roots of altruism is the conducting of experiments. Experiments are the most effective way of collecting empirical evidence because they can test ideas. Scientists come up with a hypothesis regarding a particular concept and then proceed to experiment to ascertain their predictions. The form of an experiment that can be utilized to obtain empirical evidence from the…

speech given by Jeannie Alexander Alexander, Jeannie. One Book One Community, 13 September 2017, Caudill Hall Wemyss Auditorium, Gallatin, TN. Guest Lecture.   I attended a speech given by Jeannie Alexander, Head Chaplin at Riverbend Maximum Security. Alexander first talked about her background and what got her where she is today. She then talked about some of her experiences with the prisoners at the prison she currently works at now and she also provided statistics to back up her points. She claimed that the current prison system is not fair to the inmates and that they would never get out because of the truth-in-sentencing laws. Alexander included a video that had pictures of actual prisoners with quotes from them to make the audience feel bad for them.   Alexander has the credentials to be discussing the topic as she has seen the prison system first hand. The video she included seemed to be manipulative because it had sad music and sad pictures of the prisoners. It was intended to make someone feel bad for these people without including what the…
