Antibiotics have played an essential role in the fight against diseases and infections since the 1940’s. Antibiotics are a leading cause for the rise of global average life expectancy in the 20th and 21st century. They have greatly reduced illnesses and deaths due to diseases. With the introductions of antibiotics in the 1940’s, like penicillin into clinical practice, formally deadly illnesses became immediately curable and saved thousands of lives (Yim 2006). Antibiotic use has been beneficial and

Fifty years ago if the reception on the television went bad, first you knocked on the side, then peered in back for bad vacuum tubes and finally tinkered with loose connections. Today we unplug and restart. Tinkering with a health insurance system built on outdated assumptions is at the root of dissatisfaction with the Affordable Care Act. We don’t need reform, we need a restart. How we got here is worth examining. 1929: First offering of prepaid hospital insurance to members of a teachers union

I am grateful to be a member of the Pugh family, in which the life and nature of Christ freely flows. Each member of my family exhibits His character in unique and inspiring ways. In my spiritual journey I aspire to become more like Christ, and I also hope to grow with my family who beautifully lives out His redemptive qualities in their day-to-day lives. My mother radiates authentic kindness. She speaks graciously; and serves others readily with a strong hand. She encourages and edifies those

The Windhover Explication Gerard Manley Hopkins, “The Windhover,” has been described as one of the most challenging poems to explicate, so with my limited knowledge I will attempt to do this correctly and disagree with professors who have studied this poem far longer than I have. The breaking of the word “kingdom” between line 1 and 2 is meaningful. The falcon is described as both morning’s minion and king. If the break were after -dom there would have been less exaltation of the falcon, which Hopkins

Gilgamesh starts out as an immature, cruel and emotionally stunted character. He is described as “young” and “borne along by emotion” by the elders of the city of Uruk before embarking on a foolhardy and dangerous mission (II 289). Enkidu was created by the gods to be “the equal of Gilgamesh, one mighty in strength” (MB Ni, pg. 4). Both Enkidu and Gilgamesh grow as characters; doors represent transitions and mark key points where both characters mature. At these points they are put on the path towards

Every effort is made to distribute our findings so that all of the public cannot ignore the wholesale infliction of pain and suffering onto our school children, and the role “paddling” schools play in teaching our children that physically aggressive and coercive resolutions of conflict are legitimate. Contributing to the problem of violence by making children feel rejected and isolated, corporal punishment is unsafe in and of itself, but its discriminate application may be co-incident with problems

The short story “Little Things” by Raymond Carver deals with the humanity’s spiteful nature and its desire to flaunt what others can not have. On the surface, the story is about a man, a woman, and baby, none of which have a confirmed relation to each other, and a dispute over who should keep the baby after the man leaves. As the story reaches its end, there is no clear winner and the reader has a sense of unease based on the last line, “In this manner, the issue was decided” (Carver). Carver’s use

      Black Death       The people at the Messina Harbor , a port in Northeast Sicily , stood and watched as a Genoese fleet made its way to dock..(Gottfried 141-144). The people standing ashore could by no means conceive of the horror found on board of these ships. The crew had a disease the like of which no one had seen before in the history of western civilization. The harbor masters looked on in complete awe and terror and tried to quarantine
