The health status according to the 2017 County Health Rankings, St. Louis has a homicide death rate of 33 people per 100,000 (“Crime,” 2017). The health care clinician to patient ratios for primary care physicians are 1 to 83 people, dentists are 1 to 48 people and mental health is 1 to 272 people (“Crime,” 2017). The population that are uninsured is eleven percent and are between the ages of 18 to 65 (“Crime,” 2017). The Missouri Health Improvement Act of 2007 (Senate bill 577) seeks to make MO HealthNet a prudent purchaser of high quality care and the Missouri Health Transformation Act of 2008 (Senate bill 1230) which requires hospitals to report adverse events and the state to publicly report results annually (Health Care, 2013).

I will have an internship with the Department of Juvenile Justice in Chicago during this summer, so this book provided examples of how to approach the prison environment. The case histories which impacted me, mainly was the Case Histories I, which illustrated Mrs. Chase and her interactions with the inmates. I feel this case influenced me because I am also female with no experience, who is about to work in a juvenile facility. I will face some of the same obstacles as Mrs. Chase since some of the juveniles are not far from my ages. However, this book taught me ways to hinder the interaction with inmates into a professional only demeanor. For instance, when approaching me, I will make it clear that I will only be addressed by my last name, and will not respond anything other than my last name. Additionally, I will not disclose any personal information to the inmates; however, I will provide information if it’s appropriate for the situation. Moreover, I want to build a relationship with the inmates to show that I am here to help them, better themselves, but not for personal reasons, such as intimate relationships or outside

Prior to visiting the prison, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I was nervous but also excited to see how everything operated. I had never been to a jail or a prison prior to this field trip. I was expecting to see one big building surrounded by high fences and coiled barbed wire. Once inside, I was expecting to see people dressed in orange doing various activities, much like in movies and television shows, even though I knew these weren’t true.

The article “Life in Mississippi: East St Louis, Illinois” is one that is not taken lightly. The article shows one the injustice that African Americans face in the city of St. Louis. The article all together is shocking and heartbreaking. To know that in a country that is suppose to be one of the greatest, if not the greatest, there still is so much injustice is not only eye opening but also upsetting. One of the 2 most heartbreaking parts for me was when Kozol describes the old men leaning on his cane listening to Jesse Jackson and crying. This is something so powerful to me because this is someone who has experience all of the hardships that east St. Louis has to offer and he has to live knowing that not much has change and maybe Jesse Jackson was the only one promising the change they deserve. The last scene was when one of the students goes up to Kozol after class and tell him that what Dr. King did was nothing because they are still living in such horrible situations. For a teenage kid to think and feel that way, they must have had to suffer through so much, which is exactly what the article is able to show us, the injustice that these kids face on a daily basis. Having read this is shocking to one because we live in a different area where we aren’t prone to see such things and because we have grown up and taught to believe that racism and poverty is almost non existing because this is American a country that doesn’t fail the people.

Our Engaged Learning Community group was given the opportunity to participate with The Catholic Charity of Chicago, a group committed to help the less fortunate and the people with need of income. In accordance to Loyola’s mission, Catholic Charities helps the community regardless the background people seeking for assistance may come from. They are willing to provide assistance through funds, referrals, case managements, emergency shelter, clothing, food pantry, information on government benefit screening, basic needs, and social services.

Volunteering at the St. Luke’s showed me that poverty comes in all forms. In the four hours I volunteered at St. Luke’s, we had all kinds of people come in for a meal. Hispanic, Black, White, Asian, men, women, old, and young can all experience poverty. The experience at St. Luke’s also showed me how, despite the resurgence of some parts of Buffalo, there are still many people experiencing difficult times, and they could use a little help from others in the community. () Helping out those people that need it is definitely a good way to build

Foremost among them was a former prisoner who had served nearly seventeen years behind bars. This consultant made us aware of what it was like to be a prisoner. He also introduced us to a number of other ex-convicts and correctional personnel during an earlier Stanford summer school class we co-taught on "The Psychology of Imprisonment." Our prison was constructed by boarding up each end of a corridor in the basement of Stanford's Psychology Department building. That corridor was "The Yard" and was the only outside place where prisoners were allowed to walk, eat, or exercise, except to go to the toilet down the hallway (which prisoners did blindfolded so as not to know the way out of the prison). To create prison cells, we took the doors off some laboratory rooms and replaced them with specially made doors with steel bars and cell numbers.

When we were told that we would be going into Muscogee County Jail to interview inmates, I had many mixed emotions: anxious, excited, curiosity. When registering for this class, I was not told what I would be doing while taking this course so being told we were going in the jail was pretty shocking and surprising. I remember sitting there and thinking how am I, someone who is not even a criminal justice major (I am a sociology major), suppose to have a conversation with an inmate about what is going on within the system not knowing anything about the system. The feeling of inadequacy was real and led to a state of confusion and thinking I couldn't relate to these inmates or do the job I was sent in there to do.

This week’s lecture focuses on the Community Research and Service here in the Central Valley. It points out that there are many opportunities for understanding the condition here in the San Joaquin Valley. When I get to Merced, I didn’t realize there are a lot of opportunities to seize. At first, I thought there is a pretty lack of a place to visit and to do here because I view this place were just rural, a small town, and plan as a desert. What I learn about the problem in Merced were poverty and food insecurity. Since I never been to Vietnam, it actually reminded me of how my dad had told me a story when I was twelve years old about he experienced and how he used to live as a childhood. The place where my dad used to live was at

People always wonder why the City of Angels is different from other cities. This paper will answer this question and explain the uniqueness that makes L.A., “L.A.” Los Angeles, since its birth as an embryonic city, has become one of the most diverse metropolises, offering to the public what no other city can. This paper will emphasize the relationship between the federal government and the western United States. It will also illustrate how capitalism has flourished because of the prevalent 19th century Laissez Faire ideology. It will describe how the free market prevailed and expanded Los Angeles outward, while cultivating new public institutions and private enterprises.

As a species, we gained the ability to learn from each other and specialize further in whatever sector we were skilled in. Specialization allowed humanity to use their time to do things besides just surviving. People began to live longer, healthier lives, and the average man’s contribution to society increased. Then, in the last 25 years, we have seen the expansion of the information age. Never before has there been a source of literally all of human knowledge. There have been great libraries with thousands of books, but nothing that can even remotely compare to the level of ease of access that the internet provides. What does this tell us? This says that the rate of humanity’s technological advancement is rapidly increasing. A common model for how quickly computers are advancing is given by Moore’s Law. Moore’s law is a prediction made in 1965 by Gordon Moore, co-founder of Intel, based on his observation of computer progress, that says that the number of transistors that can fit on a chip of a given area doubles roughly every 18 months (Investopedia). Transistor count correlates directly to performance and efficiency. Our progress on the power of computer and abilities of Artificial Intelligence in the past couple years is enticing, but if progress continues at the same rate, the famed, or to some infamous, singularity is right around the corner.

The conceptual foundation for the creation of the Internet was significantly developed by three individuals and a research conference, each of which changed the way we thought about technology by accurately predicting its future: Vannevar Bush wrote the first visionary description of the potential uses for information technology with his description of the "memex" automated library system. Norbet Wiener invented the field of Cybernetics, inspiring future researchers to focus on the use of technology to expand human compatibilities. The 1956 Dartmouth Artificial Intelligence Conference crystallized the concept that

Knowing all of this and how far the internet has already come…I realized how much farther the internet really has left to go. In a small window of time, the internet has had an extraordinary impact on how people live their daily lives. It gives the human mind the capability to access new ideas, information and endless possibilities. Which leads to the chronological question, if this is what the internet can do now, what will the future of the internet look like? Even though the internet has already had a significant impact on society thus far, nobody saw it coming even though everybody could predict it. In a world that is constantly changing, the internet is constantly adapting. The true computer revolution has begun but only cracked the surface into the boundless levels it has the capability to reach. In the future the internet will expand in three major areas, speed, intelligence and connection.
