Rape and sexual assault is a social problem that occurs all over the world. It tends to affect both genders, but research shows that women suffer first of all. A few inquiries show that only a small percentage of cases are properly addressed. Some simple statistics therein testifies to the fact that one in every four women has experienced sexual assault, and that approximately a third of all adolescent girls say that their first sex experience was not intentional but rather forced (Silverman 76). The definition of sexual assault encompasses many factors, and it does mean not only forced sex or rape but also includes some other forms of coercion encompassing attempts to get sexual favors, unwarranted sexual advances, and any other acts that presuppose force applied by one party in effort to gain some sexual service from the other party. When it comes to a coercion, people tend to ignore some aspects, seeing them as normal. An example is where a woman gets forced to have sex with the employer to obtain a specific job or promotion in the office, something that gets accomplished through blackmail or threats. Coercion also encompasses instances where people get drugged or simply forced…
Introduction The United Kingdom has a unique political culture, described as being a differential civic culture since it is affected by factors such as class religion and the history of the nation. In the UK, a prime mister heads the government through a parliamentary system of the government. The UK operates a parliamentary constitutional monarchy, which is one of the oldest forms of government. The queen is the head of state, while the prime minister heads the government.

The prime minister and the cabinet lead the executive arm of the government. Besides that, the UK encourages the building of strong parties, and the executive is inseparable from the legislature since it is the strongest…
Analysis 1: Growth prospects of the company The growth rate is computed as product of the dividend pay-out against the return on equity. This is referred to as the sustainable growth rate. The methodology presumes that no further additional financing either in the form of debts or equity is undertaken by the firms. In addition, the firm also will seek to grow in terms of growing the sales volume and revenue growth respectively. Other additional sources growth will equivalently be non-external. The set methodology is a relatively stronger methodology to assess the level of financial leverage that is vested for the firm. This is due to non-additional funding options that is often inputted to determine other additional funding for the firm. Furthermore, it may also accelerate the level of sales volume that could be effected by the respective firms. This will ensure that a higher level of outcome in terms of sales volume is attainable thus further leading to growth without input of additional equity or debt capital. This is essential and could offer the directional concerns in the event that either debt or other funding options may be absent or relatively costly to effect or adopt incidentally (Arya).

Health care is a service that solely sustains many individuals living with short or lifelong ailments. Notably, people may have different or similar health issues. In recent years, technology has been greatly induced in the medical world for various purposes, such as x-rays, Computed Tomography (CT) scan, and MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scans among others. However, medical practitioners have taken up the instruments because a new problem has emerged, which is overtesting whereby patients undergo a series of tests before doctors give their diagnosis. Although each different test done reveals a medical condition that needs treatment, they aim at giving medication to illnesses that would never have caused harm to patients. Health administration and caregiving is a matter that binds every individual to the same eventual circumstance. Gawande, the author, reads an article concerning unnecessary care and it draws his attention since it claims that much of the mortality is caused due to inadequate care. When he seeks proof of that, he finds out that the same thing was happening in his vicinity. Out of the eight patients that were at his clinic, seven of them had been victims of overtesting (Gawande, par 5). During that day, the last patient…
Framework for Analysis Techniques of Moral Reasoning There are various situations that require an individual to apply morally sound and reprehensible aspects. A morally sound state involves applying principles of the dangers or benefits of a situation (Bench-Capon & Modgil, 2017). A morally reprehensible state, on the other hand, involves an individual imposing a censure or rebuke based on the situation (Bench-Capon & Modgil, 2017). According to the techniques of moral reasoning and argumentation, both morally sound and reprehensible states acknowledge that an action is either wrong or right (Van Eemeren & Grootendorst, 2016). However, morally sound state focuses on the consequences of a situation, whereas morally reprehensible state focuses on the individual’s reaction towards the situation. Criteria for Assessing the Attributes Through Baird’s Four Lenses Every individual in the world has different views regarding various issues affecting the world. According to Baird’s theory, every individual view the world through any of the following four different ethical lenses, which include rights or responsibilities, results, relationship, and reputation lens (Baird & Calvard, 2018). The rights lens involves relying on rational thoughts to make decisions through application of individual rights (Baird & Calvard, 2018). The individuals who rely on this perspective value…
Thesis Statement The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the consequences of being Palestinian during the conflict that has taken place there since 1948. The trauma of living in such extreme circumstances has led to suffering and trauma for many Palestinians. Authors who lived through the conflict have channeled their pain into works based around the incidents they witnessed.

From studying that literature and researching the effects of trauma on human beings who live through extraordinary violence and restrictions. This information will be related…
Introduction The relationships that are formed between families have always remained a source of controversy. For most families, having either of their children get together in marriage comes as a welcomed resolution that strengthens their relations. However, there are instances where the dysfunctions that exist between two married couples affect the next generation in a manner that the parents did not anticipate. Discussing some of these nuances continues to be of social importance especially because they are recurrent in society. The novels that discuss such issues often become prime selections for movie adaptation as the themes that are presented in them are relatable and often timeless. Additionally, these films often have the potential of having their merits and in rare instances inspire sequels. Adaptation Film adaptations have continued to receive a great deal of criticism because of the differences that are often realized between the original source materials and the finished film. One challenge that the screenplay writer encounters when developing film adaptations is defining the narrative structure of the film (Coppieters). This can be very difficult given the difference in the structure and literary styles of novels and screenplays. Often, the writers must ensure that they are able to…
Summary The issue of refugees has been a global concern which needs to be addressed by finding its main course and the strategies to help the oppressed. There exist different definitions of the terminology, but Katarina Mozetič prefers a unique approach of described refugees as victims of the conflict. Further, she refers to them as people who are out of their social, personal, and political histories. Sweden is described as having a few domestic doctors based on minimal training programs and high population growth. Thus, this is outlined as the primary cause for the recruitment of foreign professionals. The thesis contributes significantly to the understanding of refugees and foreign physicians, hence massively adding to the theoretical debate in migration studies. Mainly, Katarina Mozetič’s thesis is aimed at exploring the experiences of non-European physicians who travelled to Sweden as refugees. The study also accounts for spatial and social movement as well as the refugee’s subjective perceptions about their wellbeing. The research questions which were being focused on Mozetič’s thesis were based on professional trajectories of refugees and how the use of non-European union doctors affects each other. Moreover, the relationship between refugees and the professional identities of non-European Union doctors was…
