research on Psychiatric Conditions in Combat Veterans For years, many types of research on Psychiatric Conditions in Combat Veterans have concentrated on sexual trauma among women. The authors of this journal have bridged this research gap by conducting a study on the experiences of military sexual trauma in men. Through the use of thematic analysis, the authors identified several themes that aided their research. The themes include types of sexual trauma, effects, and ways in which individual victims have tried to cope with the situation. In combat, many men have experienced rape, among other sexual torture. As a result, the experience disruption of masculinity and sexuality, leading to a change in overall behaviors and attitudes. One of the main challenges that they go through is the difficulty of speaking out the trauma even to their counselors. Living in silence makes the matter worse, whereby they tend to become cruel and disrespectful. Further, in most cases, they struggle with issues of intimacy with their spouses, which makes it challenging to handle their marriages and relationships. Military sexual trauma is, therefore, among…

The observation method in epidemiological investigations The observation method is a critical component of field epidemiological investigations since they offer insight into the perceptions, values, opinions as well as community practices where the study is being done. Observation has proved critical in exploring contextual factors and rationale for certain risk behaviors that don not match with predefined categories. For instance, in the case of the Ebola virus infection outbreak that adversely affected West Africa between 2014and 2015, insight into the cultural implications such as different cultural burial practices within different societies in Africa was vital to formulating and monitoring interventions for safe burials. In this case, observation appeared critical in managing the condition (Benjamin, 2017). Observation has equally proved vital in program evaluation. Observation helps the investigator in diagnosing what happened right and that which did not work correctly as part of process evaluation or in understanding why a program might not be effective as expected. For instance, why vaccination might be effective in a given community and fails in another region. When formulating an intervention, the observation method is…

Immigration. Immigration has become one of the most controversial political issues in the last few decades. Policies have been enacted to address the various challenges surrounding immigration. In the last Presidential election in the United States, immigration become an important policy issue for debate. Every politician had his or her strategy to deal with illegal immigration in America. However, recently, the debate became more intense when the Trump’s administration started implementing the “Zero Tolerance” policy. When people read and see children being separated from their mothers, or children being kept in cages in the name of implementing the “zero tolerance” policy, it stirs strong emotions. However, when trying to contextualize the issue or having discussions about whether immigration is good or bad for the country, feelings or emotions are often not enough to convince people, especially with many misconceptions and myths surrounding the subject.

 Inclusion of reading “digital amnesia” in the Course outline I write to defeat this reading “digital amnesia” to be included in the course outline. I feel this text studies the photography and memory where the participant was provided with digital cameras and taken to the art museum to take pictures of various objects. Studying this text will develop the skills and knowledge on how to differentiate different images we photographed and brand the new photos. I also believe that this reading will enable us to understand the types of camera movement during photography like zooming, tilting, and panning. Besides, the text relates to various work of different researchers like Maria Wimber, a professor and lecturer at Birmingham University who linked digital amnesia and pre-membering. Also, the work of Professor William Charles Uricchio which argued that memory and media have a long history according to Plato’s Phaedrus. Pre-membering enables people to take a startling, unfamiliar, dynamic escape to Iran” and different life situations, to reduce shareable, clickable content and to be systematic. Basing on the article “My escape to Iran” by…

 Theodore Levitt’s article (Gallo, 2016) Every business strives to understand its customers and satisfy their needs. Business executives are particularly concerned about customers’ perceptions and thoughts about their products. One of the fundamental concepts of marketing that promote the inherent desire of businesses to channel all their activities and strategies towards the consumer is the marketing concept (Patsiaouras, 2019). The marketing concept refers to the belief or philosophy that businesses must assess consumers’ needs first before deciding the most appropriate approach to satisfy those needs. Needs are essential requirements for survival. The marketing concept emphasizes the need to identify the target market and understand the needs of consumers in that market (Homburg, Jozić, & Kuehnl, 2017). On the other hand, marketing myopia refers to an inward-looking, short-sighted approach to marketing. It focuses on a company’s desire to fulfill immediate needs and not looking at marketing from consumers. This approach was first mentioned in Theodore Levitt’s article (Gallo, 2016). The marketing concept and marketing myopia have distinct bases, goals, and outcomes. The marketing concept is anchored in need to create products…

Strong Island is a documentary, directed by Yance Ford about the killing of his innocent black brother named William Ford, in Long Island, New York. Ford was shot to death by a white male back in 1992 over a petty argument about his mother.
