Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter conveys the war between passion and responsibility, and how it concerns moral duty. Conflicts which Reverend Dimmesdale faces show readers how difficult it can be to come forward and reveal your sins. The circumstances which victimized Dimmesdale made it harder for him to accept responsibility publicly, which is the foundation of much of this novel. Hawthorne uses Dimmesdale’s character to convey the true struggle between passion and responsibility in The Scarlet Letter. While Dimmesdale yearned to face his sins, his passion overpowered him and took over the

We estimate that 27% of adult Americans under the age of 65 have health conditions that would likely leave them uninsurable if they applied for individual market coverage under pre-ACA underwriting practices that existed in nearly all states. While a large share of this group has coverage through an employer or public coverage where they do not face medical underwriting, these estimates quantify how many people could be ineligible for individual market insurance under pre-ACA practices if they were to ever lose this coverage. This is a conservative estimate as these surveys do not include sufficient detail on several conditions that would have been declinable before the ACA (such as HIV/AIDS, or hepatitis C).  Additionally, millions more have

In his essay, Stephen L. Carter talks about the concept of integrity. He begins his essay with the story that took place in his early childhood when he faced the distinguishing of “right” and “wrong” for the first time. Carter experienced a shame of being a cheater, which stayed with him throughout his life. As a child, he cheated to win, and as he says, nowadays it’s much more important in our society to win than to play fair, and it is a big problem. It’s easier for people to say what others want to hear rather than what they actually mean. Talking about the whole shame for lie concept he mentions that no one wants to experience the embarrassment, but often we still choose to lie

Technical underwriting is the method of assessing the customer’s eligibility to approve their services by the financial service provider. The case alludes to an organization called Northern Insurance and their gigantic venture on TUFS (Technical Underwriting Financial System). That framework was the biggest speculation ever constructed on IT by Northern Insurance and it

In Maryland, insurance policies are generally construed in the same manner as contracts. Collier v. MD-Individual Practice Ass 'n, Inc., 327 Md. 1, 5, 607 A.2d 537 (1992). An insurance contract, like any other contract, is measured by its terms unless a statute, a regulation, or public policy is violated thereby. Pac. Indem. Co. v. Interstate Fire & Cas. Co., 302 Md. 383, 388, 488 A.2d 486 (1985). We do not follow the rule, adopted in other jurisdictions, that an insurance policy is to be construed most strongly against the insurer. Collier, 327 Md. at 5; Cheney, 315 Md. at 766. We construe the instrument as a whole in order to determine the parties’ intent. Pac. Indem., 302 Md. at 388; Collier, 327 Md. at 5; Aragona v. St. Paul Fire & Marine Ins. Co., 281 Md. 371, 375, 378 A.2d 1346 (1977). In order to determine the intention of the parties, “Maryland courts should examine the character of the contract, its purpose, and the facts and circumstances of the parties at the time of execution.” Pac. Indem., 302 Md. at 388 (citations omitted). In doing so, we give the words their usual, ordinary, and accepted meanings. Id.; Mut. Fire Ins. Co. v. Ackerman, 162 Md. App. 1, 5, 872 A.2d 110 (2005) (citing Nationwide Mut. Ins. Co. v. Scherr, 101 Md. App. 690, 695, 647 A.2d 1297 (1994)). The test is what meaning a reasonably prudent layperson would attach to the term. Pac. Indem., 302 Md. at 388.

As I write, millions of women are critiquing their bodies. Society has developed such demanding expectations for what women’s bodies should look like making it almost impossible for the ordinary female to achieve this image. Over the years, there has been a shift in the image of modeling. The result is a large group of diverse models, but most importantly there are models of all body types. Among one of the many companies encouraging this shift is American Eagle’s sister store, Aerie.

The insurance industry has long been applying game theory to evaluate whether or not individuals are insurable and determine how much premium to charge them based on their apparent needs. This interaction between the consumer and the insurance company can be characterized as a game because not only are they playing against one another but each party is waging on an outcome more beneficial to them. In a traditional life insurance, there are many variables to consider when utilizing game theory to form a strategy as there are investment components along with complex riders. Thus, in order to keep the game relatively simple, this paper will assume the insurance being considered is term life and use game

Obamacare is not universal healthcare. The United States actually has an extension of health insurance coverage that is the program we all call Obamacare. This extension of health insurance coverage is expected to cover an additional 26 million people by 2024. In understanding this concept, what we need to understand fully is that the United States does not have universal coverage. Obamacare does not eliminate uninsurance in America; instead, it cuts the number of people lacking coverage about in half. Even after Obamacare is fully implemented, budget forecasters still expect that 31 million Americans will lack insurance coverage which is a bigger group than the people buying coverage on the exchanges (Vox.com).

Edgar Allan Poe’s imaginary universe in his short prose is based on ideas like death, fear, burial, mourning, selfhood, and on the versions or faces the human mind or phyche can take. Such images outlines a romantic conscience, preoccupied with the analysis of selfhood, choosing a gothic environment for his short and dense stories. As expected, his prose gravitates towards thriller, horror or detective stories, styles of literary fiction that he elaborated the most as a writer. The aim of this essay is to show how the concept of selfhood and its modern variations appears in E.A. Poe’s prose, emphasizing the distinction between I and You, or self and others. As mainly psychological thrillers, one of the main ideas Poe underlines in
