The Case for Killing Qassim Suleimani Introduction Major general Qassim Suleimani got killed through a military rocket attack, which also claimed the lives of Iraq nationalities. The attacks came as a consequence of crossing the “red line” engraved by the U.S. president. America had given Iran conditions against harming any American nationality. Iranian terrorist insurgents, through the stewardship of Qassim Suleimani, failed to adhere to U.S. instructions. Instead, they continued marshaling their terrorist organizations to Americans and even plotting to cause more harm. As a result, the U.S. led an airstrike that eventually killed General Qassim Suleimani. Justifications for killing Major general Qassim Suleimani in relation to Hobbes theory The generals killing is viewed as justified, and legally and strategically okay. The remarks appear to be in line with Thomas Hobbes’s philosophy. According to Hobbes, an ideal variant of government is the monarch. Hobbes believes that human beings are naturally born to be egocentric. Human beings should not be left to rule on their own without any form of government. They are likely to engage in constant warfare. Therefore, a…

sustainable development at the community and the local level The aim of sustainable development at the community and the local level is to ensure that the community’s ability to develop resilience, reduce the reliance on the limited natural resources and effectively ensure that people can address the current shortcomings that are experienced in the society. In that regard, the involvement of the community members in the initiatives that support sustainable development is not only right but also something indispensable. The participation of communities ensures that remedial measures such as creating an enabling environment for economic opportunities and devising different ways of achieving sustainability are put in place (Irvin & Stansbury, 2004). From a personal perspective, a collective approach in attaining sustainable development registered unmatched success. In most instances, the concept of transition town is only possible through the involvement of community members. I have experienced cases of my city where the concept of transition town got launched and was an instant success, thanks to the community members who supported the initiative. The aim of sustainable development at the community and…

Evaluation of stakeholder participation in monitoring regional sustainable development Since its launch by the United Nations from the initial sustainable development goals, different organizations and individuals have launched multiple initiatives aimed at ensuring that the goals of sustainable development are achievable. Despite all the efforts in place, one underlying fact is that the involvement of communities is instrumental in realizing the goals of sustainable development. For instance, the initiative of transition town emanated from the belief that changing the communities’ consumption behavior and aligning them to sustainable practices could be instrumental in realizing sustainable development (Hermans, Haarmann & Dagevos, 2011). In that regard, the role of communities and their involvement in any sustainable development initiative is vital in ensuring that a collective sense of responsibility is realistic. Again, from personal experience, there have been multiple instances where community involvement in sustainable development has borne fruit as the collective approach in addressing matters of resilience is prioritized. Thus, the benefits of involving the individuals in the community often supersede their lack of involvement. Despite all the efforts in place, one underlying…

The concept of traditional ecological knowledge The concept of traditional ecological knowledge highlights how indigenous and various traditional knowledge supports the sustainability of an individual. In that regard, the territory of Huron-Wendat remains the place I feel closely related to since I lived in the area until I was ten years old. The Huron-Wendat area is located at the shores of Lake Ontario in Toronto, and it houses over thirty thousand individuals from the aboriginal people. One astounding phenomenon about the neighborhood is how the indigenous individuals in the territory rely on the traditional concepts to achieve sustainability and self-sufficiency. Among the Iroquoian speaking communities, the source of sustenance is farming, fishing, eating squash, beans, and corn. However, though the farming practice is extensive, it is done per selected seasons in a manner that does not lead to extensive land disturbance. The same practice applies to fishing activity as well. There are fishing seasons that are dictated by the cultures of the individuals. Such developments perfectly align with the TEK knowledge in the course. The concept of traditional ecological knowledge…

Role of nurse Informacist in Systems Development and Implementation Nurses play essential roles in the delivery of effective patient care. The nurses understand the needs and requirements of the patients since they spent most of the time with them at different stages of their hospitalization (Currie, 2005). Besides, the advancements in health information technology (HIT) has influenced the role of nurses since they are using these technologies when attending to their patients. Thus, these nurses must get involved in every decision when the company wants to purchase new equipment or when adopting health information technology and during the implementation. The system development life cycle (SDLC) refers to an approach used in the application of HIT. The approach is vital since it captures the ever-changing system requirements through the realization of feedback from the individuals using the systems and also including the cognitive-social technical aspects in all the stages of development to help realize the needs of the users. The nurses are thus at the center-stage to ensure effective implementation of the new systems since they are aware of the various…

Tablet nine review Overview Tablet nine begins by Gilgamesh setting out to search for Utanapishtim.  His first encounter is with Siduri, the tavern-keeper. On seeing Gilgamesh, Siduri quickly concludes that he must be a killer and secures herself. Gilgamesh, however, convinces her to show him the way to Utanapishtim after a long discussion. She leads him to Urshanabi, the ferryman of Utanapishtim. Urshanabi blames Gilgamesh for smashing the stone things and pulling out their retaining ropes. These were the instruments for crossing the Waters of Death. He asks Gilgamesh to go into the woods and cut 300 punting poles, and the two boarded the boat to Utanapishtim. When they reached the Waters of Death, Urshanabi remained behind, and Gilgamesh continued with his journey. On seeing Gilgamesh,  Utanapishtim wondered how Gilgamesh could sail on a boat that was not his over the Waters of Death. “Why are ‘the stone things’ of the boat smashed to pieces!  And why is someone not its master sailing on it?” Utanapishtim received Gilgamesh, and the two held a long conversation. Biographical Context While Gilgamesh was…

Future of Emergency Care in the United States  Emergency physicians often encounter varied types of crisis in emergency care (EC). Chamberlain, Krug, & Shaw (2013), stipulates that overcrowded emergency departments (EDs), boarding of patients, diversions of ambulances, and the inability to identify specialists to take care of patients are some of the most common issues that are pushing the emergency care to the limits. As a result, the Institute of Medicine’s (IOM) committee introduced different reports to examine the future of EC in the country. The committee’s concerns are mainly with the pre-hospital, hospital-based, and pediatric and trauma emergency care. The committee identified various issues in the emergency care system and made recommendations to improve the sector in the future. Improving the efficiency in the hospitals through enhanced patient flow could facilitate the elimination of bottlenecks, thus reducing crowding and consequent costs. In the future, emergency care is intended to employ advanced tools and information technology to coordinate, communicate, and track the flow of operations. The committee has organized a regionalized system that has a single federal agency to manage…
