Arriving in 2006, through the combined efforts of Marcus Ackroyd, Laurence Brocklick, Michael Moss, Kate Redford, and John Stevenson’s comes Advancing with the Army: Medicine, the Professions, and Social Mobility in the British Isles, 1790-1850. This book breaks disciplinary boundaries between medical, military, and social history in an effort to enrich the field. Although the book deals mainly with professionalization of doctors in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century, it shows how military surgeons and doctors fit into British Strategy. This book reveals many things about the military and surgeon works such as a disproportionate amount of Scots as surgeons and most young doctors were younger sons from nonmedical families. Before…

Progress, which can be defined as making the world increasingly better, is a fundamental element of Garrett’s argument. She explains that synthetic genomic research marks the beginning of tapping biology’s full potential. The beginning of a biology revolution, bioengineering research mimics revolutions in physics that allow for clean energy and other advancements. But one cannot discount that progress in physics also led to the atomic bomb, and bioengineering’s atomic bomb could be an epidemiological catastrophe. If the government mitigates negative effects like this through the regulations that Garrett suggests, it is possible that bioengineering research could be a prime example of progress, making the world astoundingly better through tailored vaccinations and…
Adam Shepard had $25 dollars and a dream and chris mccandless had nothing but himself and wanting to experience everything on his own. Upon Adam’s arrival in Charleston, with only $25, a sleeping bag, a duffel bag, and the clothes on his back , he makes his way to a homeless shelter in a rough part of town. The place looked neat enough from the outside, but it had dirty floors, unclean showers, bathrooms that appeared to have never been cleaned. Even worse, the homeless shelter is surrounded by drug use and other temptations, and dishonest employers are constantly getting workers from the shelter and employing them in very difficult, low-opportunity jobs. Chris Mccandless grows up in wealthy Virginia suburbs…
Stem cell research is a fairly new study which has gained a large amount of popularity lately. Stem cells are cells that have the potential to become specialized into different types of cells within the body. What this can do is help replace damaged cells with healthy new cells since stem cells are able to adapt to what is needed. The research going on is to discover how this can be used medically to help cure major diseases out there in the world.…
As we know, nothing and no one is perfect. As humans, we all make mistakes that we are afraid to admit especially, on sensitive topics. In a Ted Talk by Jay smooth called, “How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Discussing Race,” he provides many methods to approach the topic of racism. Due to the topic being very substantial, Smooth begins with a humorous story about his encounters with strangers. He explains that after introductions are finished, he usually has to explain his ethnicity to others as that is one of their first few questions. Throughout the talk, Smooth does a great job of using analogies, and emotions, to deliver his message to his audience.…
the lack of scientific proof - alone is perhaps not reason enough to dismiss the possibility that a new treatment might be valuable or effective.…
As we travel with time our health conditions take a leap at the same time. There are some illnesses that can be treated with common medicines; and some conditions are given enough attention to be treated. Physicians are too keen on their field, promoting different kinds of remedies just to alleviate or heal a disorder.…
Dr. Adams (1986) falls into the anti-psychology camp, and he stands firm on his convictions that the Word of God is sufficient for counseling. His whole bases for the counseling process is from 2 Timothy 3:16 which states that all scripture is God 's revealed truth and is perfect for teaching, correction, and training in righteousness. Jay Adams (1986) book How to Help People Change, can be considered a controversial book depending how one perceives it. Throughout the book, it appears as if Adams is writing in a condescending style. At times he appears angry calling people names such as peons (p. 76) to refer to people who think differently than he does. Dr. Adams premise was for the sufficiency of scripture. Christianity never needed counseling before the life of Freud, Jung, Rogers, and other notable psychologists. The world 's perfect counselor is Jesus Christ, and believes in teaching his clients to be more like Christ. Dr. Adams explains that the fundamental problem of "all counseling systems" is that counselors seek to change people but "they can 't agree on what the end product should be like," (1986, p. 59).…
This Ted Talk by Robert Waldinger focuses on the Psychological study conducted by Harvard University. The video gives me an entirely different perspective on how to achieve a happy and healthy life. Waldinger states that “It turns out that people who are more socially connected to family, to friends, to community, are happier, they're physically healthier, and they live longer than people who are less well connected.” I believe that I can apply these outcomes to my life by strengthening my bonds with my friends and family. Waldinger implies that by connecting with more people daily, even if it’s just a quick conversation with a stranger can also help to develop a deeper happiness. One of my future goals will be to expand beyond myself in order…
The short tale of Harrison Bergeron is something that isn't very new to me. Way back in high school, we were tasked to read this in one of our Literary Circles sessions. I took a quick look at it and particularly enjoyed how short the story was. Today, having finally read a good selection of interesting stories, I decided to take a deeper and much more complete look at it. I can definitely say that despite it being rather short, Harrison Bergeron was a story just oozing in meaning and symbolisms.…
I agree everyone is unique but there is some credence to Carl Roger’s statement that certain techniques can be applied universally and result in the same results. The uniqueness is in the idiosyncrasies that people bring to each situation. Rogers & Bennett (1941) study concluded that clinicians can predict certain changes of treatment depending their insight of the client “regardless of the initial status and regardless…
What should have been a day of shopping turned tragic on July 27th, 1981 when 6 year old Adam Walsh was abducted from a Sears Department store as his mother walked away a short distance to look for something (Thomas, & Michels, 2008).

He helped co-found the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and in 1988 he hosted "America's Most Wanted" (Thomas, & Michels, 2008).…
