...Crisis is an opportunity Since the turn of new century, a crisis occurs is an obvious and normal case as each country will have the advance technologic to predict and know before the crisis happened. Besides that, most of the country will face a crisis because it is a flow. From my own view point, a crisis can bring lots of advantages to the human being and the country. Furthermore, it is a ways which can let a country reborn and restructure. Firstly, in an economic crisis it is an opportunity for the investors because most of the investors will buy or get a cheaper share at the time when economic is downturn. Besides that, the investors will earn a lot of money and income if they can hold the share until the economic get well or reach the peak season. In addition, the investors also can get a good return on their investment. Subsequently, economic crisis is an opportunity for the environment as it can reduce the pollution. Generally, in the period of economic downturn, there is lack of business transaction can make for each industry. For example, Airlines Company will reduce the number of flying because at the time of economic crisis less people will spend their money on travel. This problem will directly reduce the air pollution and save the environment. Besides that, people who drive the car will also try to spend less on the petrol. Lastly, in a financial crisis will force the human being to change their spending habit as people virtually like to spend their money...

... including the general public, federal and state governments, and employers who purchase health care for their employees. Hence, there are several reasons to explain the high and rising costs of health care. According to Bodenheimer (2005), he stated, “High health care costs might derive from factors outside the health sector rather than from characteristics of the health care system itself” (p. 849). One of these factors outside the health sector is the rising costs of health care for the aging population. According to the Pew Research Center (2010), as of January 1, 2011 approximately 10,000 Baby Boomers, who are the generation born between 1946 and 1964, will turn 65 every day for the next 19 years. Moreover, the high cost of technologic advances, in combination with poor cost-containment measures, is another factor in the high rise of health care costs. Because the use of new technologies is fairly unrestrained in the United States, the nation incurs higher health care costs (Bodenheimer,...

...fiction anticipation novels like Stand on Zanzibar (John Brunner, 1968) and Paris in the Twentieth Century (Jules Verne, book written in 1863). These four novels serve as examples for this essay because although they were written a long time ago, they depict a specifically dated future that allow a contemporary reader to corroborate and witness the reality of events that occurred at the specific time anticipated by the authors. A careful review of the political context of the time The Penultimate Truth and 1984 are written and an objective comparison of the visions of the future in each novel demonstrate that they should not be considered as science fiction novels as the future is either describe more a future human comportment or future technologic prediction. 1984 was published in 1949. The author is known for having been a democrat-socialist. At the time his novel was written, the World War II was over but still in the mind of a traumatized population in a economically exhausted Europe as The Cold War stated from two years[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_War]. The World was economically and politically divided in two systems: the capitalism ruled in the Western part of the world and the communism in the Eastern part. However, a monetary crisis was lying in United Kingdom and annunciated hard times. The popular classes’ discontent was growing because of the hardships due to the bad after war economy and an apparent military and political mismanagement. The people felt that...

...The Comeback of Global Warming (Global Warming vs. the environmental “solutions”) Who could turn or live back 50 decades ago without technologic advances, mass media invention and the most important pure air? Sometimes I spend time with my grandmother who lives in the interior of the island of Puerto Rico and I enjoy what she tells me her stories about her youth and the environment where she was surrounded. Suddenly she expresses me how she misses living in those times, when she used to go to the rivers to pass the day in the water or in simple a fun water puddle, enjoying the nature. It’s sad and lamentable what we have to see and hear about the damage of our planet. How Mother Nature is decaying in her environment and shows sense of impotency of doing something for fighting. By the time we are letting ourselves go with the hope with the ambitious government plans, dubious magnates’ idea and investments or should we call it environment sciences? The truth is that if we find the certain solutions maybe we won’t find them anywhere near of us. Most solutions pretend to have the best intentions to help better the environment and at the same time minimized the global warming. As for example, the fluorescent lamps may help to limit the consume of energy but however it contains mercury substances which can affect negatively the environment, limiting the ways to its maintenance. Others, try to executes the use of natural gas which is visualize like one excellent solution in...

...Healthier mothers and babies have resulted from better hygiene and nutrition, availability of antibiotics, greater access to health care and technologic advances in maternal and neonatal medicine. Since 1900, infant mortality has decreased 90%, and maternal mortality has decreased 99%. 1 WIC provides nutritious foods, nutrition education (including breastfeeding promotion and support), and referrals to health and other social services to participants at no charge. WIC serves low-income pregnant, postpartum and breastfeeding women, and infants and children up to age 5 who are at nutrition risk. 2 The interviewee is a Registered Dietician at Mary’s Center. She is responsible for assessing nutritional needs, diet restrictions and current health plans to develop and implement dietary-care plans and provide nutritional counseling. It was interesting to learn that the WIC program is just not available in the United States but also to Military families overseas in places such as Germany, England, Japan, Portugal etc. The Women, Infants and Children (WIC) Overseas Program provides several important benefits: nutritious food that will contribute to a healthier diet, education on nutrition and proper diet, tips on how to prepare a balanced meal, nutrition and health screening, and access to other resources to lead a healthy life. WIC Overseas is designed to provide additional nutritional food items to supplement other foods purchased by eligible beneficiaries. 3 References: ...

For example firms like Apple use parts made in Japan, or Vizio the television company whom components are manufacture in South Korea, China, and assembly in Mexico, and Gerber baby food was originate in Michigan merged with Novartis, which is in Switzerland. Third of the drives of globalization is declining trade and investment barriers. In this case the decline in barriers is to free flow of goods and services that occurred since the end of World War II. For example, international trade between two countries to trade such items as eggs, poultry, meats, oil, and corps. Last is technologic innovation is telecommunication of globalization.

...The secularization is a process which describes the loss of importance of the widespread religious lifestyle and the sacred behaviours in front of a scientific point of view on the reality and a non-religious set of values. Indeed philosophical and scientific methods allowed not to consider a concept or a statement as sacred and immutable but they sharpened the social changes. This process has started in Europe during the Age of Enlightenment with the scientific discoveries of physicians and chemicals and with the development of social sciences and humanist philosophy. Secularization spread in the second half of the twentieth century; in particular it had a strong incentive after the second World War because of the industrialization process and the economic globalization. I strongly believe that even if Secularization started in Europe, it does not concern just the western world; for instance in some other societies (non-western countries) the role of the sacred has been replaced with technologies, modern education, scientific medicine and modern political and judicial systems. In addition to this the globalization is also a great communications medium between different societies which diffuses non-religious systems of knowledge, common values and datum points. In my opinion people should be Eurocentric for thinking that secularization concern just Europe; the distinction between the sacred and the profane is not only a prerogative of the Christianity, I think it is a system...

...compassionate, social and selfish organisms. Now survival was always the main priority for humans, and humans learned that living and working together greatly increased their chances at being successful. Understanding the concept of cooperation, humans also discovered the need for an exceptional type of person to lead and guide the people, using their expertise to the advantage of the survival of their tribe. For early human life, a chief or king would be established, based on certain skill sets and qualities that gave the person an advantage and desirability to be regarded as a leader. Strength, skill and abilities would often be the deciding factor for a leader. Throughout history, up until around the 19th century, industrialization and technologic advances in machinery and factories began to take place. But from before then, in most social groups like tribes, kingdoms and countries, leaders were generally applicable only to political and military persons. The history of the world is one of war and fighting, where a leader would be a man who would be a great warrior, tactician, or strategist. This period of time can be described as an era with inclination towards personality and greatness in respect to leadership. Progress has been made in terms of applicable...

...ever-broadening scope of practice, thus demanding practicing nurses to achieve higher levels of education and pursue continued education. With higher levels of education and continued education, nurses’ perspectives also broaden, provoking a significant change in their ownership of their profession. It seems to provoke a more vested interest in the growth and development of professional nursing as a whole. At least that’s the change that I witness happening within myself. There are many trends demonstrated by the interactive timeline. The ones that I find most interesting are research and technology, education and discrimination. In the early years of nursing, technological growth occurred at a much slower pace than it occurs today. Technologic advancement brings about more in-depth research. With more research comes more knowledge of proper diagnosis and effective treatment. Today, rapid advancement in technology demands that nurses stay up to date with current diagnostic and treatment modalities. It has influenced my perspective of nursing in regards to realizing that I didn’t go to school to learn, “this is what I need to know to be a good nurse.” I learned that you never stop learning how to be a good nurse because nursing is constantly changing with the more knowledge we gain through research. This constant learning and keeping up to date with current practices leads in to the trend that nursing is evolving into a profession that is requiring higher levels of education...

...During the 1800s the Industrial Revolution spread throughout Britain. The use of steam-powered machines, led to a massive increase in the number of factories (particularly in textile factories or mills). Many factory workers were children. They worked long hours and were often treated badly by the supervisors or overseers. Sometimes the children started work as young as four or five years old. A young child could not earn much, but even a few pence would be enough to buy food. lasted from the 18th century to the 19th century As the number of factories grew people from the countryside began to move into the towns looking for better paid work. The wages of a farm worker were very low and there were less jobs working on farms because of the invention and use of new machines such as threshers. Also thousands of new workers were needed to work machines in mills and foundries and the factory owners built houses for them.Cities filled to overflowing and London was particularly bad. At the start of the 19th Century about 1/5 of Britain’s population lived there, but by 1851 half the population of the country had set up home in London. London, like most cities, was not prepared for this great increase in people. People crowded into already crowded houses. Rooms were rented to whole families or perhaps several families. The Industrial Revolution affected many people, some of these people were affect in a positive way and some in a negative way. The new industry needed a lot of working...
