the merits of physician-assisted suicide. However, the evidence we provide today will not only rebuke these merits, but also show you the fallacies associated with this topic. One such fallacy is the term “physician aid-in dying”. This term is obscured by the fact that the physician isn’t assisting the patient in dying, they are leading them to death. As James K. Boehnlein M.D. wrote “True physician aid in dying is the facilitation of a patient’s encounter with the natural process of dying, using the biopsychosocial perspectives and skills of the medical profession to nurture, comfort, relieve pain, and provide hope and interpersonal contact.” Herein, we will refer to the subject as physician assisted-suicide for the remainder of the debate.

International relations are among the aspects that are evolving fast in the modern world. They refer to the activities and interactions among individuals or groups from various sovereign nations. In the contemporary world, international relations are more political and have a significant influence on various spheres, such as the economic and social orders. It is essential to understand that the advancement in technology and globalization have contributed to the development of various foreign policies. Therefore, it is apparent that international relations are concerned with the study of the behavior of different nations and their foreign policy-making practices. April 24, 2018 Read More »
The debate of urban versus rural life sustainability has been extensive as it primarily stems from personal preferences. It is doubtless that the urban hinterland, which was once confined to a geographical zone, is a global hinterland today. Although it is widely believed that rural families live in wasteful single-family homes and rely on private cars while urban people reside in well-designed apartments and depend on public transportation, the prospects of the cities are particularly grim (Chambers and Conway, 1991). Let us forget for a moment the efforts that were taken by municipal authorities in promoting sustainability as rural activities, such as cultivation, trading, and artisanal work, pose fewer dangers to the environment (Chambers and Conway 1991). What is indeed conceivable is that rural living is more sustainable than urban life. April 24, 2018 Read More »
Diversity has become a crucial component of institutions today. Therefore, there is the need for the society to embrace diversity when tackling social issues. One of the benefits of diversity is the multiple perspectives and lifestyles it brings in institutions and the society. This is why any attempt to discuss or solve a social problem has to consider the diversity of populations. Equity is also a crucial component of social life because people’s interest should be balanced to find lasting solutions to problems. My research process aimed at establishing the link between diversity, equity, and healthy living in communities today. I prepared several artifacts in this regard, namely “A Day in the Life of Robert Carradine April 24, 2018 Read More »
the department of corrections in the United States has been subject to immense public scrutiny. Research indicates that since the advent of the twentieth century, the population of prisoners in the United States has increased significantly (Lockwood, Nally, & Ho, 2016).

Effective communication through writing allows someone to relay his or her intended message to the audience correctly, in a way that facilitates understanding and is unlikely to result in misinterpretation. Practice through writing has contributed highly towards my achievement on communication skills. The paper showed my prowess of communicating through writing. I was able to define the model of international relations and describe its position in the contemporary world in the introductory part. Moreover, I noted development of technology and globalization as the factors that influence international relations and its policies. April 24, 2018 Read More »
The presidency of Franklin D. Roosevelt began on March 4, 1993 (when he was assumed presidency as the 32nd President of the United States) and ended on April 12, 1945 (upon his death). Roosevelt assumed the presidency during the Great Depression. He introduced New Deal program for relief (government jobs for the unemployed), recovery (economic growth) and reform (regulation of transportation, bank and Wall Street). It involved expansion of the role of federal government in the economy. His leadership created many programs to support farmers and the unemployed, regulate business and high finance, and encourage growth of labor union (Abbott, 1990). April 24, 2018 Read More »
Water is one of the most critical resources for any form of life. All living organisms largely depend on water for growth, survival, and existence in general. Despite the fact that two-thirds of the planet earth is covered by water, human beings have hugely contributed to its pollution with an estimated 88% of ocean water said to be polluted by plastic debris only April 24, 2018 Read More »
