George Orwell’s short story “Shooting an Elephant” is a non-fiction narrative story based on the personal experiences Orwell had while working as a police officer in Burma with the Indian Imperial Police. Orwell utilizes figurative literature devices such as symbolism, imagery, irony, metaphor, simile, and many other literary devices to express the theme of British imperialism, fear of humiliation, colonial resentment, the performance of power, taming of the colonized subject, police power, and natural life in his essay. Thus, this essay focuses on the literary analysis of George Orwell’s essay “Shooting an Elephant”.

This proposal aims to seek funds to help research and demonstrate the intricate relationship between Autobiographical Memory and Self-identity as based on the effect of diabetes mellitus on patients with Alzheimer’s disease. A long-standing debate has been ongoing for decades over what exactly is the cause of Alzheimer’s disease, how can it be diagnosed properly, and if its cure will ever be found. As reported by the HealthDay Reporter, one in nine Americans with the age of 45 and older talk of experiencing thinking declines (Steven). This shows that Americans with the age of 45 and older have autobiographical memory problems that could probably lead to Alzheimer’s disease. The United States Alzheimer’s patients are provided with the prognosis according to the symptoms and changes in behaviors that are depicted over time in these patients. Currently, there no definitive tests that might give medical professionals with solutions as to what causes this disease and if there is a method to cure it (Yiannopoulou &Sokratis). However, with the use of neuroimaging, observing, and postmortem autopsy, scientific researchers in the medical field are nearing to finding the solution for this problem. HealthDay Reporter also reported that one of the earliest signs and symptoms of impending Alzheimer’s disease or dementia is noticing a decline in mental abilities such as forgetting who you are. With the increased number of Alzheimer’s disease patients, there is a need for more research to be done on this disease and its relation to autobiographical memory and self-identity (Vanderveren et al.). As such, I seek a grant to further the research study of how diabetes mellitus can affect the aging brain and also discover if there is any correlation to those that have been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease.

Today, teaching requires more than just writing lesson plans and presenting the information. A teacher is currently perceived as a facilitator who engages students in the world of discovery and learning. As a teacher you have to think about objectives and they are usually threefold: (i) what are the standards established by the school’s system, (ii) how do you want your students to achieve and master these standards, and (iii) which activities are you going to design and present to your students so that they learn, according to the learning style, and master the content?

An article on auditing and assurance services, majoring on legal liabilities is selected for this assignment. The article, seventeenth edition, was published in 2020. Reading through the article, I was able to gain a lot, especially on accounting and financial, legal liabilities.

Opioid abuse is not a problem for the poor, a Hispanic issue, or an issue for blacks. It equally affects the lives of the poor and the rich, the whites and the blacks. While many would argue that it more directly crept at an unprecedented pace into white American houses, the issue's complexity is not easily contained in racially motivated agendas (McInerney, 2019). This article will review and respond to two peer-led research pieces to get to the bottom of the issue, which neither discriminates race nor social status in the United States of America. It will majorly focus on the evidence-based factors to overdoses, societal views, social factors contributing to overdoses, and the mitigating factors.

Language is the most comprehensive communication system that any animal and man use. Freedom is the power to think, speak and act as one wants; however, there are essentials such as language that make freedom possible. A language must be created via social interactions for space to be realized (Charon 135). In addition to language, mind and self are other perquisites of freedom. Our social life directly impacts our beliefs, making a language that requires a social interaction a prerequisite for freedom. Social causes and beliefs further pose a significant influence on whatever we do. Therefore, it confirms the analogy discussed by (Charon 134) that what humans think is not something they choose, control, and determine. The fact that beliefs determine what we do makes it impossible to be free without social interaction, which eventually yields to the language used to control one's thoughts and actions.

The outrageous actual perseverance requests and shifted ecological settings of long-distance race footraces have given an extraordinary chance to examine the restrictions of human thermoregulation for over a century. High post-race rectal temperatures (Tre) are regularly and reliably reported in long-distance runners, yet an away from of thought encompasses the reason for this perception. A related scholarly article uncovers that this wonder is regularly credited to either natural (drying out, metabolic rate, sex) or ecological elements (Smyth 233). Long-distance race climatic conditions fluctuate however much that their course geology can change extensively from year to year and even begin to end in a similar race. The way that the environment can altogether restrict temperature guidelines and execution is clear from the immediate connection between heat setbacks and Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT), just as the reverse connection between record-setting race exhibitions and surrounding temperatures. Notwithstanding, the standard scope of compensable hustling conditions seems to play a greater amount of a roundabout job in anticipating Tre by regulating heat misfortune and liquid equilibrium. From the previous research, it has been realized that various individuals normally end up dying as a result of the individuals participating in a 5Km race in the heat (Chain et al., 711). The issue has been debated for a long time, and most individuals do not understand any reason behind such. However, scientific researches have come up with data that shows out the reason behind the incidences. In this essay, the major emphasis would be based on the main factor attributed to the death of such individuals.

Currently, there is a debate ongoing on whether people should be allowed to bear arms or should not have the freedom to bear arms. The argument started after the second amendment of the constitution and it has sparked extreme conflict all around the world. In my opinion, I believe that it is a basic human right for every U.S citizen to possess a legal firearm. Every U.S citizen should carry a firearm that can harm others; however, it is our job as the people to make sure those weapons end up in the right hands.

A radicalization process has several steps and is not something that takes place overnight. Transformation can come about due to a variety of factors in an individual's life. Similarly, people can also become de-radicalized and leave terrorist organizations through different methods and factors. Many programs have been implemented worldwide, including in the United States, that have been designed to de-radicalize people and turn them away from terrorism. Violent extremism (VE), in its emergence and spread, as well as the evolution of violent extremist organizations (VEOs) continue to pose a complex and global threat (King & Taylor, 2011). However, to fully comprehend the origins of violent radicalization, it's crucial to understand that terrorist groups are composed of different types of disaffected individuals who undergo varying paths of radicalization. This paper analyzes and compares two different approaches to radicalization, as well as summarizes the factors that can lead someone to disengage from terrorist activities and the programs available to support counter-radicalization.

The novel “Sula” written by Toni Morrison presents a contrasting theme on the definition of evil and good. In the story, the character Nel represents good while Sula represents evil. Sula represents the opposite view of good as depicted in her action which contradicts with the traditional societal norms in which one is supposed to live up to a certain degree of expectation. Through analysis of the two contradicting concepts of Sula and Nel regarding evil, a conclusion can be made that evil is only a subjective view of society. As such, the standard of integrity does not differentiate virtue from evil, rather an individual can be regarded as good or evil on the basis of individual view and bias.

African Americans have suffered from injustice, racism, and discrimination throughout American history. During the 1600s, Portuguese and Spanish settlers brought the first slaves to the newly formed American Colonies. Initially, Africans were bought and sold to work as servants and laborers. However, just after the invention of the cotton grid, states passed laws that sanctioned the enslavement of blacks. Consequently, life under slavery was appalling and arduous as black culture was suppressed during slavery and the country was torn apart by the Civil war. The North's victory helped free four million slaves while the Civil Rights Movement helped bring social change. Through the government’s support for desegregation, racial discrimination came to an end. However, despite the social changes discrimination and repression is still apart of African American life. Also, the African American language, customs, values, artistic forms, and religious beliefs have been reshaped. Thus, African Americans have played a significant role in the founding of American democracy.

A family cycle is defined as the pattern of evolution that most families undergo through over some time. Although most families practice this pattern, some don't due to different family settings. For instance, families made up of gay couples, lesbians, cohabiting couples, or single-family face a challenge in undergoing through some of these family life cycles as a result of differences in their attributes. Also, in marriages where children are not produced don't fulfill the seven stages of the family cycle. These stages of family cycles include establishing a family, enlarging a family, developing a family, encouraging impendence, launching children, post launching children, and lastly, retirement, respectively (Wood, 2015). This essay provides an in-depth analysis of each stage of the family life cycle, establishing its importance to the family setting and explaining how it applies to the current family structure.
