While reading the author's note ideas such as vengeance, dying wishes, the death penalty, the eight amendment, and religious absolutes.

...Bereavement The effectiveness of bereavement in hospice surroundings is beneficial to those that are losing a loved one with the emotional support. Bereavement is a combination of therapeutic and social support for the grieving process, (Reid, Field, Payne, & Relf, 2006). People react differently when they are going to or have lost a love one or someone close. The feelings connected to bereavement are numbness, anger, guilt, anxiety, helplessness, relief, and acceptance, (Cutcliffe, 2002). Bereavement is not just tied to a family member dyeing, but it can be when two people are divorcing or if someone close has moved away. Bereavement counseling is important for the person who is going through the grieving process to seek counseling, (Cutcliffe, 2002). The counselor will focus on the client in a therapeutic surrounding by teaching their client how to accept their loss. Counselors will allow the client to work through the pain, provide their client with mental tools to adjust to their surroundings, and teach their client how to control his/her emotions by and allowing him/herself to continue with life, (Cutcliffe, 2002). There are support groups that provide the person who is grieving with mutual support, understanding, and empathy. Some people need to handle their loss with medication because of them being depressed. Medication may also help with those who suffer from insomnia or excessive anxiety. Some people can overcome the grieving process by treating themselves...

...Death should be easy and peaceful, because life is stormy and hard. I’ve never given much thought to how I would die. But dyeing for someone I love seems like a pretty good way to go. “The beauty is too weak of a word to describe how adorable you look” I penetrated her eyes with mine. “You didn’t just sweep me off my feet; you drowned me in the sea of your charm. And now I’m hopelessly in love with you.” She blushed as I sprinkled sweet words in her ears, hoping that the two legged ants wouldn’t steal her away. “Kevin” she said in a low and sweet tone, “mi truly love yuh, but Gregory won’t let us be. With yu, nuh measure of time can be long enough. But mi fear di worst. Let’s leave tung and go to anadda parish where nuh body can find us.” I knew Gregory still loved her though it’s not mutual. And I knew he was homicidal. But without a taught I looked in her dark browns eyes and said “We are leaving Wednesday”. “Yes, Wednesday” she said. Then her phone rang. It was Gregory and she decided to turn the phone off and end the interruption. By now, the sun has set and ready to leave our island. I decided to walk Verona to the playground which was close to her home. As we arrived she stopped and said “let’s just kiss and say good bye”. And that we did. As I turned and walk away, I must have looked back a thousand times until I no longer saw my heartbeat. Monday morning I woke up bright and early. I started thinking about her before I even taught about yarning. I rushed...

...What is something I feel strongly about? I took about five minutes after reading the prompt for this writing assignment before I knew exactly what I wanted to write about. I am going to write about how I think the death penalty should be abolished. There are many reasons behind the idea of myself wanting it to be eradicated. I personally believe that the death penalty is just unfair. The saying “Don’t fight fire with fire” is a perfect example to be incorporated with my thoughts and feelings. Just because someone kills someone doesn’t mean that we should retaliate with the gesture that got them in trouble to begin with. What kind of example is that giving the community, or the whole state for that matter, to handle their problems? Another reason that I feel so strongly against the death penalty has to do with the judicial process that has to be gone through just too even began the execution process. There has to be so much extensive research done to make sure those innocent men and women do not get executed for a crime that did not even commit. Even with going through all these precautions, the risk of executing an innocent person is still there. While this process is happening the guilty party just has to sit and hesitantly wait to have their destiny pronounced. Imagine how the innocent people feel after they wait and then find out that are declared guilty, they were not only accused of something they did not do but then they almost got killed because of it. The mixed emotions...

...Hero’s Project A hero can mean a lot of different things. But what is a hero really? In my eyes a hero is basically someone you look up to. They accomplished or achieved something that was a goal. A hero can also be someone who went out of there way for the better of someone else. My father David Hernandez II is a wonderful example of a hero. Not only my father but every person that serves for there country in the U.S Army. The American soldier goes out of there way and risk’s he or she’s not a hero then I’m not sure what is because risking your life for other people’s protection sounds like a hero to me. One thing that is absolutely required to be in the U.S Army is bravery. Knowing that your career requires you going over sea’s from time to time and the risk that you just might not end up coming back. That all would require bravery at the most. The average soldier goes on about three tours every 10 years. My dad has been in the army for exactly 16 going on 17 years and has gone over seas 5 times, also will be going once again in February of 2010. He had served in Bosnia in 1996 thru 1997 also in Iraq from 2003 to 2004. The third place he served was Afghanistan from 2005 to 2006 and also Afghanistan from 2006 to 2007. Being a soldier comes with responsibilities such as being sent overseas. When being sent overseas a lot can occur from tragedies to blessings. My dad had made a comment in the interview I did with the Hero’s Project that “Every day you wake up...

...Hospice care The term was from the medieval times when it referred to a place of shelter and rest for weary or ill travelers on a long journey. The name was first applied to specialized care for dying patients by physician Dame Cicely Saunders, who began her work with the terminally ill in 1948 and eventually went on to create the first modern hospice—St. Christopher’s Hospice—in a residential suburb of London. Sanders idea of specialized care for the dying to the United States during a 1963 visit with Yale University brought on the thought of helping the ones that couldn’t help them self and more and day were limited. To help them go in peace. It been an ongoing thing since the 1963 and still used to day Hospice is a type of care and a philosophy of care that focuses on the palliation of a terminally ill or seriously ill patient's symptoms. These symptoms can be physical, emotional, or psychosocial in nature. Hospice care focuses on bringing comfort, self-respect, and tranquility to people in the final years of life. Patients’ symptoms and pain are controlled, goals of care are discussed and emotional needs are supported. Hospice believes that the end of life is not a medical experience, it is a human experience that benefits from expert medical and holistic support that hospice offers. The concept of hospice has been evolving since the 11th century. Then, and for centuries thereafter, hospices were places of hospitality for the sick, wounded, or dying, as well as those...

...friends were spending quality time with their respective lovers, she was stuck at home. But she never complained. It actually was good for her, to take a break from her loud mates and the generally noisy world. The break meant climbing on her roof, watching the stars. It became a habit over the years. Her father used to climb to the roof whenever he and her mother were upset at each other, of after a fight. She wondered why he went there, so she asked him. “Because the stars won’t be mad at me,” he said in a playful manner and she laughed, taking it as a joke. But, as she grew up and her father left their family, she realized he was dead serious. And he was right. The stars were peaceful, and beautiful. Such powerful, but mild forces. She loved watching them, even if she wasn’t sad, or mad. Maybe it was what kept her going. That evening, she decided she would climb on the roof earlier, to read until the sunset. But, of course, the beautiful scenery wouldn’t let her read much. The sun setting behind the little houses of the suburbs was majestic, wonderful. But it was too fiery for her, too big of a star. At least it was warm, she thought. It was still light outside when she opened a pack of crackers, her dinner for the day. Her mother worked night shift, her brother was with some friends in the city and her sister was sleeping over at her friend, so no need to cook. Crackers were better than some warmed left-overs anyways. She munched at the vinegary snack as the lights on the...

...choices made here will ripple through families and friends. Euthanasia and assisted suicide is argued to place untold burdens on the loved ones to the one who’s decided to end the suffering. To understand the major reason of this we must first look at the differences between euthanasia and assisted suicide, which are the two approaches discussed or available within the United States. Euthanasia is the first, and in my opinion far less likely to be approved. Euthanasia requires a physician to supply and administer a life ending drug to stop the heart. I say more unlikely of the two as it is requiring a licensed physician, trained to save to administer death. Also, too much likelihood of family lawsuit. We have families filing lawsuits over signed DNR, its likely this would carry over. The second option is assisted suicide, contrary to popular misunderstanding, these two are not the same. However, as most people do not differentiate between the two I will include it with euthanasia. Assisted suicide only requires the physician to supply the tools, the act falls to the individual to administer to themselves. Concern arises here with the absence of a trained professional, a patient may turn to family, or friends, to assist with ending the struggle. Should death not come on swift wings, those called upon to help administer will be forced to stay with a loved one they have helped die. Some may even feel an obligation to take steps to increase the speed of ones passing, examples are smothering...

... The buying and selling of slaves were regular activities in cities along the Nile River. In Africa, early slavery resulted from warring groups taking captives. The treatment of slavery in Africa was variable. Many societies recognized slaves as merely property and some saw them as dependants who eventually might be integrated into the families of slave owners, because of this slavery was not heritable. Some societies allowed slaves to attain positions of military or administrative power. Slave owners and slaves were usually Black Africans. There were several different jobs for slaves that varied extremely in labor. Women were the majority of early African slaves, their labor included: agricultural work, trade, cotton spinning and dyeing, domestic chores (preparing food,...

This was evident in many of his acts. «Peter and his immediate succeeders were more concerned with reshaping the present and the future than with reflecting on the shape of the past.» - National identity in Russian culture; Simon Franklin and Emma Widdis, p. 16. During the reign of Peter The Great, In Moscow, there were opened eight pharmacies and closed «zeleynye» shops, which were selling herbs, from which people were dyeing a quick death, and prohibited the sale of wine in those pharmacies. Prohibited the carrying of knives, because during drunk fights people could cut each other, sometimes to death. For the request of the people, to fight with fires, yew roofs were changed to tile ones, and the houses started to be built of stone instead of wood, according to the European tradition. The architecture changed and the country flourished under the rule of Peter the Great. Peter did many reforms to improve the quality of life in his empire. For example he introduced the collegiate regional management for solving problems not only by governors but by two or three more people from the nobility, he created Senate, established schools, translated foreign books, and...

...It is estimated that the number of illegal shanties has grown from 400 in 1995 to over 15,000 in 2010. "In the mid 1800′s the British rule of India declared certain tribes to be criminal despite individual action. With the reprieve of British command, these Indian tribes were brought back to society…or so the government will tell you. The people will tell you otherwise. They aren’t supported, they aren’t acknowledged, they have no birth certificates, no access to aid, no right to homes…no right to live. Actually, there is no record of certain tribes, as if they were wiped out of civilization with a giant pink eraser. Living in a slum is their only option and all they know. The slum has one, maybe two toilets…in the entire slum. There are no showers, running water consists of taps sporadically spread through various alleys in between buildings. The houses are constructed of makeshift materials and extended families cram into one room. Often, the children sleep outside for only a few hours before going to work, school and more often than not, to the streets to try and support their family. Simply because of a criminal label placed onto them in years that no one can physically recall, they are typecast for life. They are still viewed as criminals, they are considered untrustworthy. You don’t speak to them, you don’t acknowledge them, you don’t help them." These are the inhabitants of Ganpat Patil Nagar. A baseline survey conducted by the NSVK IGP Department...
