...Calisthenic manuals suggested that the fate of the country rested on fit and able-bodied women, which subdued much of the potential for male opposition to the movement. Exercise was presented as a pillar of Republican Motherhood, making calisthenics a nation-wide conversation that was rooted in democratic language and backed by religious and spiritual doctrine. Though calisthenics both affirmed and questioned gender stereotypes, it was perceived as a more digestible 19th century reform movement through its clear distinction from the women’s campaign and the association of exercise as a democratic value. With men and women alike advocating for the adoption of this practice, albeit for different reasons, calisthenics had the support of the majority. Dress reform, in contrast, was championed by radical feminists and their entourages, making the movement inherently more controversial and harder to embrace. Both movements were fundamentally expanding women’s liberties, but advocates of calisthenics had less polarized political stances, allowing the introduction of exercise reform to appear intrinsically less...

It is still happening till this day in 161 countries including the United States. As a matter of fact, it is happening in our own communities without us knowing or even being aware of it. II. Need (Problem) A. Problem: The problem with Human Trafficking is that every year thousands of men, women and children fall into the hands of traffickers, in their own countries and abroad.

...Reviewing the health information patient rights discussed in this chapter, which ones apply to this situation? • According to the definition of health literacy which is the degree of capacity that an individual has to not only read health information, but to “obtain, process, and understand basic health information and services needed to make appropriate health decisions” (HHS 2016); it is not enough that the information is available to patients, but they need to be able to understand the information as well (Brodnik, Rinehart-Thompson & Reynolds, 2017). In this case, Nancy has access to the test results, but she does not understand the test results. Taking the educational level of the patient or in this case Nancy, who has her father’s durable power of attorney must be reflected in the context of patient rights and as part of patient-centered care.

...Dr. P.Davis January 17, 2012 Reaction #1 In summary, in periodic episodes of history, African Americans endured horrendous acts of mistreatment during slavery. All aspects of African American lives were dictated by shareholders. Enslaved African Americans lived with the constant possibility of separation through the sale of family members. Families were separated due to sale, escape, early death from poor health and suicide. At the time that they had to face their greatest crisis during the abolishment of slavery, freed slaves were left to their own strategies to face freedom. The legislature passed laws designed to keep African Americans in poverty and in position of servitude. To benefit African American integration into society, the government executed many reform laws. Despite these and other measures to protect the former slaves, a number of racist groups sought to keep African Americans completely disenfranchised through harassment or intimidation. In 1896 the Court ruled in Plessy v. Ferguson that African Americans be segregated in all areas of life. To escape intimidation, just before the outbreak of World War I, many blacks traveled north to seek opportunities. By the 1960’s the most unconcealed forms of racial discrimination came to an end. African Americans had been lifted out of poverty as a result of the many economic opportunities created by the civil rights movement. Also important, the civil rights movement served as a model for the advancement of African...

...agencies, and are supported by NGOs. They express the conviction that it is possible to improve substantially the living conditions and opportunities of the world’s poor over the coming decade. The MDGs can be achieved only if poor people themselves are involved in the decisions which affect their lives. They should therefore have the freedom to organise themselves in associations which promote their interests in the societies in which they live. They should not be subject to forced labour, or suffer from discrimination in the labour market. They should be able to maintain their livelihoods without having to make their children work rather than go to school. An essential part of poverty elimination is those human rights known as core labour standards: freedom of association and the right to free collective bargaining; elimination of all forms of forced or compulsory labour; effective abolition of child labour; and elimination of discrimination in respect of employment and occupation. This paper is about the contribution that labour standards, well designed and implemented, can make to reducing poverty. Core labour standards are fundamental rights and freedoms that everyone should enjoy. The global system of setting and maintaining labour standards, under the leadership of the International Labour...

...Rights: (noun) Things to which you are entitled or allowed; freedoms that are guaranteed. * Human Rights: (noun) The rights you have simply because you are human. * Human rights are commonly understood as "inalienable fundamental rights to which a person is inherently entitled simply because she or he is a human being.” Human rights are thus conceived as universal (applicable everywhere) and egalitarian (the same for everyone). These rights may exist as natural rights or as legal rights, in both national and international law. The doctrine of human rights in international practice, within international law, global and regional institutions, in the policies of states and in the activities of non-governmental organizations, has been a cornerstone of public policy around the world. * Every person has dignity and value. One of the ways that we recognize this fundamental worth is by acknowledging and respecting a person’s human rights. * Human rights are concerned with equality and fairness. They recognize our freedom to make choices about our life and develop our potential as human beings. They are about living free from fear, harassment or discrimination. * There are a number of basic rights that people from around the world have agreed on, such as the right to life, freedom from torture and other cruel and inhuman treatment, rights to a fair trial, free speech and freedom of religion, rights to health, education and an adequate standard of living. * These...

...Social isolation in community-dwelling seniors Abstract In early August 2007, the Medical Advisory Secretariat began work on the Aging in the Community project, an evidence-based review of the literature surrounding healthy aging in the community. The Health System Strategy Division at the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care subsequently asked the secretariat to provide an evidentiary platform for the ministry's newly released Aging at Home Strategy.After a broad literature review and consultation with experts, the secretariat identified 4 key areas that strongly predict an elderly person's transition from independent community living to a long-term care home. Evidence-based analyses have been prepared for each of these 4 areas: falls and fall-related injuries, urinary incontinence, dementia, and social isolation. For the first area, falls and fall-related injuries, an economic model is described in a separate report.Please visit the Medical Advisory Secretariat Web site, http://www.health.gov.on.ca/english/providers/program/mas/mas_about.html, to review these titles within the Aging in the Community series.AGING IN THE COMMUNITY: Summary of Evidence-Based AnalysesPrevention of Falls and Fall-Related Injuries in Community-Dwelling Seniors: An Evidence-Based AnalysisBehavioural Interventions for Urinary Incontinence in Community-Dwelling Seniors: An Evidence-Based AnalysisCaregiver- and Patient-Directed Interventions for Dementia: An Evidence-Based AnalysisSocial Isolation...

...Executive summary We cannot imagine our life without internet, it become internal part of our life. Some researcher considered internet to be the greatest innovation of modern’s time. Suppose the facility of internet given to us taken by someone forcibly, then imagine our life without it. In recent development china and iran have restricted the information flow throughout their country, specially china have ban Google-universal search engine and email in its country. Firstly question arises why any country will ban if internet is so useful. There lots of hidden agenda of the govt that has to be protected, if there is free flow of information is there public start questioning on the procedures of govt work. Internet censorship in China is among the most stringent in the world. The government blocks Web sites that discuss the Dalai Lama, the 1989 crackdown on Tiananmen Square protesters, Falun Gong, the banned spiritual movement, and other Internet sites The government’s computers intercept incoming data and compare it against an ever-changing list of banned keywords or Web sites, screening out even more information. The motive is often obvious: Since late 2010, the censors have prevented Google searches of the English word “freedom.” In March 2011, Google accused the Chinese government of disrupting its Gmail service in the country and making it appear as if technical problems at Google — not government intervention — were to blame.

Type the abstract of the document here. The abstract is typically a short summary of the contents of the document.] | There has been major news forming around the legalization of marijuana in Colorado. Medical marijuana has been effective in Colorado since 2000. Now marijuana is legal for recreational use for people 21 and up. Many rules and regulations follow the legalization of marijuana. Many people of Colorado fear this legalization, where others are totally for it and think it will help boost Colorado’s economy. I have found many positives and negatives regarding the legalization of marijuana. According to Sherry Robinson, a syndicated columnist with the Daily times, Colorado approved medical marijuana in 2000, and it's now a $200 million industry that pays more than $5 million a year in state sales taxes. The state and cities are now salivating over potential revenues from recreational marijuana sales but must find the equilibrium between a "good tax" and one that drives cannabis sales underground. Now that Colorado has legalized marijuana for recreational use, it will boost the economy even more. A huge percentage of what is made will be going to the school system in Colorado. This will make a huge difference in the education system. This is a huge benefit that many parents...
