Duke University Children's Hospital was facing a financial crisis in 1996 that required turnaround and transformation in order for the hospital to survive (Spector, 2013). On top of the financial crisis, caused by decreased Medicaid allowances and an increase in capitated reimbursement patients, patient and staff satisfaction had reached an all-time low (Spector, 2013). The hospital's chief medical director, Jon Meliones, understood that the hospital could only do so much to control their financial outcomes and a united front would be needed to bring about effective and impactful change (Spector, 2013).

There are many people in this world that can prove that our past experiences contribute to the shaping of our present day selves and lives. Whether our past contains hidden skeletons in our closets or not, we cannot keep it a secret nor can we run from it. But if we decide to do so the past will only come to haunt us.

outbreak of the first Red Scare. Schmidt focuses on the anticommunist intolerance, especially from 1919 to 1920, to better analyze the FBI’s political role, and as examined by recent scholarship. Schmidt focuses that the genesis of Red Scare was planted on “institutional factors rather than of a popular mass movement.” He focuses on the multiple relationships on the bureaucracies with Wilson’s administration and Congress. Schmidt also focuses on the FBI’s role with connection to strikes, public turmoil and the notorious Palmer raids. Moreover, Schmidt argues that predominant rationale behind the creation of the FBI “is not to be found in the demands of

Both authors believe in similar curricula. Ungar states, “ They develop patterns that help them understand how to keep learning for the rest of their days”. He is basically saying that pursuing a liberal arts program won't just help one make money, but actually teach something heart filled and practical. It’s a life long learning process. Gitlin states, “ A strong liberal-arts curriculum could teach them about their history, their social condition, themselves.” He is basically implying that we need to study liberal arts because it helps us understand and study our past, so we don’t make the same mistakes over again. It also helps students grasp the idea that they aren’t as different from their past generations as they think, and that we

We learn that Keith was already a difficult man even before the 9/11 attack, however, after the accident, in which he is involved and survives, he becomes even more distant, violent and powerless. If we take into account what conforms the hegemonic masculinity, we soon realize that the protagonist it is not the kind of man we expect, really different from the kind of man that society tries to sell us. He is like an empty living recipient, although it does not seem to live. He has no feelings, showing no emotions, not for his wife, not for his lover, not even for his son. He just lives as an automata, moved for the meaning of his relationships, but not because they have any meaning for him. For example, the relation between Keith and his son, Justin, is not really an emotional one, but based on just the fact that he is his father and has the obligation to do what he believes are the parental stuff. “How is it possible that he was about to become someone of clear and distinct definition, husband and father?” (DeLillo

This power and association meant that During 1917, the party became more popular and widely known due to the Rising. Many political figures, having been arrested and imprisoned during the Rising, were gaining more political status because of this. Count Plunkett, who was Joseph Plunketts father, started to become known politically.
