...repair to the United States healthcare since Medicare and Medicaid passed in 1965. In this paper, the key points that will be discussed are obamacare policy, it pros and cons, if it raises any issues with federalism and the policys effectiveness. Obamacare is aimed at helping the underinsured to gain insurance. With this plan everyone would have health insurance regardless of income, or anything that would stop the person from attaining health insurance. The Affordable Care Act is a watershed in U.S. public health policy. Through a series of extensions of, and revisions to, the multiple laws that together comprise the federal legal framework for the U.S. health-care system, the Act established the basic legal protections that until now have been absent: a near-universal guarantee of access to affordable health insurance coverage, from birth through retirement.(Rosenbaum, 2010) Obamacare is a name used by critics of President Obamas efforts to reform health care. Its a common term used to describe the Patient Protection and Affordable care Act of 2010. ObamaCare contains many benefits, especially for low and middle income families and businesses. ObamaCare also contains some obstacles for larger firm that dont insure their employees and certain aspects of the healthcare industry. The Pros and Cons boil down to this, Obamacare the average American has a lot to gain and little to lose, while some larger firms and consequently their employees may notice negative...

...Cloning is not new and experiments with frogs and toads date back to the 1970s . Experiments involving plants and animal embryos have been performed for years, yet experiments involving human beings have never been tried or thought possible, until "Dolly". Her birth shocked the scientific community and has spurred discussion about the possibility of human clones. In the following essay I am going to speak about the subject of Human Cloning, its pros and cons, and speak against the following issues. Pros of Human Cloning Prior to arguing against the human cloning it is imperative to note the positives of this genetic technology. Human cloning will allow doctors to determine the cause of spontaneous abortions, give oncologists an understanding of the rapid cell growth of cancer, allow the use of stem cells to regenerate nerve tissues, and advance work on aging, genetics, and medicines. Some people argue that cloning is the logical next step in reproductive technology. Identical twins are natural clones, so reproductive cloning can be regarded as a technological version of a natural process (McGee, 82). If a couple are infertile, why shouldn't they be able to produce clones of themselves? If a couple have lost a child, why shouldn't they be able to replace that loved individual with a clone if that is possible? Equally if someone has made a great contribution to science, music, the arts or literature, it seems like a good idea to produce more of them in the hope that we might...

...Running Head: ABORTION Abortion Victoria Jones Political Science 332 DeVry University Professor Izquierdo August 3, 2011 Before choosing abortion as my subject, I honestly didn’t know what I wanted to talk about for this assignment. Politics isn’t one of my favorite subjects because I am disinterested as soon as I research any political issue; on the other hand because of personal experiences, abortion is what struck out to me the most. At 17 I had an abortion and not only me, but three of my other friends as well. All throughout my senior year in high school, there were more classmates either having babies or abortions. It became an epidemic in my neighborhood. For my final essay in my Advanced Composition class, I analyzed abortion’s pros and cons, comparing the pro-life and pro-choice aspects, and the circumstances using inductive and deductive reasoning. I dissected the basics of the research but I didn’t realize the bigger picture I was a part of. In 2006, 126 black teens out of 1000 were pregnant and 44 out of 1000 had abortions. The main reasons why most teens have abortions are concerns about how the baby would change their lives, not being able to afford a baby, and feeling insufficiently mature to raise a child (Guttmacher Institute, 2010). Indeed, that was how I felt. I didn’t want the embarrassment of walking down the hallways of school being the talk of the year, chained to the welfare office, trained from both sides of my divorced parents, having...

...Kaelan Bush English 50 Sarah Faulkner 30 January 2014 Marriage in Today’s Society In the essay “For Better, For Worse: Marriage Means Something Different Now” Coontz describes on how she played a character on a show that abandoned the values of a traditional family and encouraged young Americans to abandon marriage (Avins 171). She also begins to talk about the pros and cons of marriage. Also, by giving data “As late as the 1960’s, two-thirds of college women in the United States said they would marry a man they didn’t fall in live if he met all their other, often economic, criteria” (Avins 172). In most cases being married is a personal goal, but it can also affect families. Americans have their own opinions about marriage. It all comes down to the individual and how they look at the aspect of marriage. Some people like idea of being single and live their life by the way they think life should be lived. Then there is the other idea of the traditional marriage, which is being married to a partner that you would want to live the rest of your life with. There are pros and cons for each way and how they affect society. Living the single life has its ups and downs. Men and women tend to fine on their own and are able to find a stable job. Single women tend to marry a man they do not love even though they fit into their criteria economically. Men are also the same way and feel obligated to marry if the woman fits his criteria just because. Single mothers have played...

...Argumentative Essay: Should Abortion Be Illegal? The legalization of abortion has been an issue that has been argued both publically and privately for several decades. In all social circles this subject is very sensitive because of the moral and emotional factors involved. For the religious community, it’s a matter of morality and biblical law. For the lay person or non-religious community it’s a matter of choice. In the political arena it’s a matter of economics. The one factor that stands out the most about this issue is that it is of a personal nature. The question at hand is should we legalize abortion, and should women on government assistance be able to receive an abortion as the expense of tax payers? In order to respond to this question responsibly let’s take a look back history to get a better understanding of abortion. Abortion actually dates back to Biblical times when women consumed an herbal concoction that would induce a spontaneous expulsion of a fetus. Though this practice often resulted in not ending the pregnancy or in the death of the mother and the fetus it was documented (Fox, 2012). Throughout history there have been documented incidents of abortion. In fact, in early American history, abortion was illegal and the death of the fetus was considered to be murder. Since the great legal battle of Roe verses Wade (Profile, 1973), advocates of women’s rights have continued to fight for a woman’s right to choose. This brings Fox, P. (2012). About...

...Abortion legalized | HONORAY ARD | | Nuwanthi Kaushalya Sudharshan | 4/29/2016 | There are variations within each group depending on how liberal or conservative one’s opinions are, some individuals who are pro-life believe that in cases of rape or incest abortion should be allowed, and some pro-choice groups favor waiting periods and other restrictions on abortion. They only want women to have control over their bodies and futures. Therefore, contrary to popular media portrayals of the debate between pro-life and pro-choice groups, there is not really a clear line between the two sides of the argument for many. No matter which side you have personally taken.It is important to understand what the opposing position believes. The more you know about the arguments in favor of or against abortion, the better prepared you will be if you must make this type of decision regarding your own pregnancy. The proceeding procedure and elaborates some of the irrational argumentations or logical fallacies that associated with traditional and effective abortion strategies. Recently, there are many controversial topics in this world, and abortion is one of them. So I choose to talk about should abortion be legal. In this essay, I'm going to talk about pros and cons of abortion. It was not a big problem before; however, recently the number of abortions increases rapidly. In some countries, abortion is legalized and in some country abortion is treated as a crime. There is two side...

...I wanted to approach both Kantianism vs. Utilitarianism for those who are not students of ethics words like utilitarianism and Kantianism may sound little foreign but for those are trying to tackle the world of ethics then these two represent important viewpoints. There are many similarities between utilitarianism and Kantianism but some can confuse some people. However, there are important differences between the two philosophies that I will try to explain. In Utilitarianism this philosophy believes that consequences of action are responsible for people judging that action as morally right or wrong. Thus, a believer of utilitarianism would say that the outcomes of the actions that is deemed morally right would be good. The theory says that people choose actions that help in maximizing happiness and at the same time remove misery, pain and agony. The worth of any human action depends upon its utility or value. Now with the view on Kantianism was put forward by Immanuel Kant, a German philosopher he focused on the duty he believed his philosophy take the position that the morality of an action is dependent upon whether the individual has adhered to the rules or not. Here are some points or highlights why Kantianism vs. utilitarianism. * Attitude towards what is right or wrong is what constitutes the basic difference between utilitarianism and Kantianism. * Utilitarianism says that an act is justified if maximum numbers of people are deriving happiness out of it. This...

...y Student name: Minh Quyen Pham (Q) Class: IPE1 Title of essay: An evaluation of the advantages and disadvantages of adopting the Euro. A case study of The UK I. Introduction According to European Commission (2011a), a new common currency in Europe was announced on the first day of January 1999. At that time, there were eleven European countries decided to join the Euro and the Euro was introduced instead of their own currencies. The Euro has been adopted as a main currency of the country members, including Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxemburg, the Netherlands, Portugal and Spain. In order to be accepted to use the Euro, these countries had to agree with the conditions called “convergence criteria” about the price and exchange-rate stability, long-term interest rates, total government debt, government budget deficits, and central bank independence. These aspects will be discussed specifically in this essay. In the early stages of announcing and using the Euro, four members of the EU still remained separate from the Euro, namely Denmark, Great Britain, Greece, and Sweden. Later, in 2000, Greece changed its decision to accomplish the agreement. In 2001, it started adopting the Euro. At the present time, there are 17 out of 27 EU countries using the Euro as an official currency, which makes it become one of the most important currencies in the world. In the future, apart from Denmark and Britain, all other members of the EU will adopt the...

...choices for other siblings. The coaching we get concerning job, affects our achievement and self-esteem. The position of first born is very much geared towards high achievers. 21 out the 23 first astronauts in space were first born children. In a study looking at the birth place order of CEO’s it was found that 43 percent of them were firstborn children, 33 percent were middle born and 23 percent were the youngest children in their family. On the other hand, the youngest sibling in the family may be the one to engage in more reckless behavior such has dangerous sports including sky diving, motor cycle racing, sky jumping, and even football. According to a survey taken in a high school, the younger siblings said they were more sentimental and were less judgmental than their older siblings. The same survey reinforced the studies on firstborns who were geared towards being high achievers as this survey indicated these students rated themselves as being perfectionists. However, studies show that younger children get better grades. This is because they are mentored by the older siblings; they have watched how their older siblings overcome challenges and learn from them. Strangely, the very first studies on birth order never included females. Nevertheless, Montrealers need to know that these studies, especially the earliest ones did not account for the size of the family. Most of the studies analyzed firstborns, middle children and then the youngest children. If families were...

...Martin J Skelton Word Count 2453 “Evaluate the extent to which Freud's theory of psychosexual development can help us to understand a client's presenting issue.” The main aim of this essay is to demonstrate an understanding of Freud’s theory of psychosexual development and how this theory may help us to explain and identify adult neurotic behaviour. I shall be evaluating the pros and cons of psychosexual theory and the extent to which it helps us to understand a client’s presenting issue. I shall also define and consider the relationship between the Id, Ego and Superego and the way in which these constructs of our psyche are in many ways representative of earlier experiences and of those early situations and conflicts we had faced. Freud’s approach to understanding human behaviour – psychoanalysis – has had a profound effect on psychology. His approach is one of many that share some common assumptions, while differing fundamentally in others. Contemporaries of Freud, such as Jung and Adler were inspired by Freudian theory, but emphasised different issues in human development and experience. Collectively these theories are described as “psychodynamic” because they emphasise the factors that motivate behaviour (i.e. the dynamics of behaviour). They challenged the biomedical view that mental disorders had physical origins. The psychodynamic approach views abnormal behaviour as caused by unconscious, underlying psychological forces. Key features of the psychodynamic approach ...
