6. Many drug safety research studies are sponsored by pharmaceutical companies that would financially benefit if the results of the study are favorable. Is this an example of a potential confounding factor?

For over 2 centuries, Afghanistan has known virtually no time without war. Beginning around 326 B.C. with the conquests of Alexander the Great, to the Persians, British, Russians and most recently, America and our NATO allies, Afghanistan has been cultivated into the country that it is today through a trial by fire. Regardless of this relentless onslaught of foreign military power, the Afghan people have tirelessly defended their homeland with no outside power ever being able to subdue them completely. Following the withdrawal of the Soviet Union in 1989, the country fell into civil war, torn even further apart by fiercely dedicated tribal warlords. This power vacuum led to the rise of a group called the Taliban. Led by a one eyed man

But for another example a pizza shop in competition wit a fried chicken shop would be indirect because the products are not the same but they are still competing for sales.

Women in third world countries are not given the same opportunities when it comes to education. The ratio of girls to boys who attend school in Afghanistan in today's society is 5:16. Despite how low this is compared to the Unites States, which is 43:56 male to female, Afghanistan has come a long way since in the past fifteen years. In

Afghanistan is a dangerous and unforgiving place to live if you are a woman or man of the lower classes. It’s a place where the weak Hazaras, like Ali, Hassan and Sohrab, are preyed on by the mean and powerful Pashtuns, including the likes of Assef and the Taliban. These Hazaras lack the money, materials and rights to support and defend

In our society education is so often overlooked; children sometimes don’t want to go to school and almost everyone has the opportunity to get a proper education. But as shown in Parvana education in Afghanistan is controlled and oppressed, only to be taught to some members of society and even then it is only taught in a way that the Taliban sees fit. In the book Parvana, she reads letters to people who are unable to for themselves, her father gets dragged away for having a foreign education and they banned education for girls. Because of all this the Taliban have been able to control their society easily.

Analyze Good Health Hospital s records and itemize records and itemize recent nosocomial infections that occurred within the past year. In your report, categorize the different parameters (i.e., person, time, place, ethnicity, and gender) used in the compilation of data into the information summative.

During the last twelve years low literacy rates have been progressing within females. Afghanistan is among the lowest in the world. Only 40% of girls attend school in Afghanistan. Approximately there are three times more boys in school than there are girls. It is rare if girls go beyond the 6th grade. Families believe that it is unnecessary for girls to be educated. Married girls do not continue of their education. 85% of women residing in Afghanistan are uneducated and illiterate.

Under the Taliban rule women and girls were essential denied everything a society has to offer for the people, the ban of education for females was one of the most devastating hits Afghan girls and women had to face for almost five years. Education for girls was limited up to age 8 and only type of education that was allowed was restricted to learning the Quran. According to Skaine “In January 2000, UNICEF reported that 90 percent of the girls in Afghanistan and 75 percent of the boys were not attending school in Taiban-controlled areas.” The illiteracy rates arose as a result of ban on education, when asked “Describe Taliban’s view on women’s education? How did impact you or other girls and women you

In addition to the ongoing problems, a lot of people in Afghanistan are internally displaced, meaning that they fled their homes only to move to the borders of Afghanistan. Most people have to flee from their homes because of violence, wars and lack of necessary needs to survive. The location in which they move is usually from war zones or places with high violence, to camps and “safety” shelters. However, Afghanistan does offer some assistance by having camps and shelters, unfortunately it doesn’t provide much help because of the terrible conditions and health hazards. Being internally displaced affects the population severely because a lot of women don’t go to school, and their is a lack of contraceptives causing more child birth rates.

The war in Afghanistan has been going on since 2001 and even though troop levels have dropped below 10,000, it continues to be a dangerous area as shown by last month’s attack which wounded three service members and last week’s death of a special operations Soldier. Afghanistan has challenges that are different from many other parts of the world in that there are large portions of the country that are sparsely populated and which lends it to be governed by local tribes rather than by the regional government. This, coupled with the fact that there are not enough Afghan National Police (ANP) or Afghan National Army (ANA) to cover all of this territory underscores that need for Civil Affairs to maintain the civil-military relationship keeping

Afghanistan were educated and employed: 50% of the students and 60% of the teachers at

As of 24th November 2015, 3506 coalition member died and tens of thousands ANDSF and civilians died. Despite all the challenges, the US presence in the last decade was vital for Afghanistan and national security of the US. Key leaders of Al-Qaida and Taliban arrested and killed, Afghans authored their constitution, three presidential and two parliamentary elections have held, institutions and infrastructures have rebuilt and Afghanistan once again recovered its international recognition. The achievements are unprecedented, but there some challenges, inducing insecurity, instability and economic developments. Meanwhile, led by the US the international community renewed their commitments to support Afghanistan for another decade, the Transformation Decade (2015-2024) .

is disadvantaged and more susceptible to radicalisation (Brophy, 2001). However, the Arab World Literacy Report suggested, “Increased financial allocations to the national education budget to support non-formal education opportunities such as literacy classes, vocational/skills training, and/or recreational activities for targeted youth and adults (male and female)” (Arab World Literacy Report, 2011). Furthermore, it is necessary to consider the quality of education received by those who actually have the opportunity to attend schools. With a lack of qualified teachers and a student to teacher ratio of thirty-three to one, the schools are overfilled and under qualified. In order to improve literacy across Somalia, there needs to be full public support of educating the instructors and encouraging outside organizations to help with what they can. Once this first step is taken there would be a greater population of workers equipped and knowledgeable for specialized jobs. As a result the youth population would suffer less from unemployment, and would be less likely to turn to radicalisation.

Thirdly, we will take a look at some of the many potential outcomes regarding what is happening in Afghanistan. As we all know, the World changed after the events of 9-11. The main enemy in the war that followed was the Al Qaeda. The UN has been working with Afghan authorities in order to educate the civilians about voting, politics and elections. Further efforts include supporting of respectable governance and the rule of law, training of police, etc. (Global Policy, 2013). However, as stated by the Global Policy website, “in a land torn by violence, warlordism, drug production and intense suspicion of foreigners, these programs seem unreal and very unlikely to succeed” (2013). Hence, one of the potential outcomes for Afghanistan could be the fact that matters stay the same, and get worse day by day. Many sources agree that in order for Afghanistan to have a bright future, Afghans need to start getting along with each
