Essay Test: Why do you think Mr. Juster used so many puns and play on words in his writing of this tale? Use your literary terms discussed in Assignment 3, along with textual evidence, to explain your answer. Please use proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation. An essay is at least one paragraph in length, and each paragraph needs to be constructed properly. Here is a reminder of how each paragraph should be constructed. Topic sentence Commentary with textual evidence Supporting details Supporting detail Commentary with textual evidence Supporting detail Supporting detail Concluding sentence What follows in an anchor essay that you can review before writing yours on another essay topic for this novel. Read it carefully as many times as you see fit in order for you to get an idea of what yours should sound like. Take notes! In Norton Juster’s thought-provoking novel, The Phantom Tollbooth , we encounter Milo, a school-aged boy who is terribly bored with life and finds no purpose in learning until he meets some interesting teachers along the way. Mr. Juster establishes the theme of lifelong learning early in his novel when he states “he regarded the process of seeking knowledge as the greatest waste of time of all.” (Juster 9) Early in Milo’s journey, he meets the Lethargarians–curious creatures who blend into their environments and loiter all of their lives. They even have rules against laughter and thinking. He learns that he must think in order to escape the Doldrums. Late in the novel, Milo encounters the Terrible Trivium, a demon who specializes in wasting time with insignificant tasks that do not matter. This demon sets Milo onto the task of using a pair of tweezers to move a pile of sand that Milo cunningly figures out will take him over eight hundred years to complete. Juster continues the lesson of the importance of education with the introduction of the characters of Princess Rhyme and Princess Reason. “You must never feel badly about making mistakes as long as you take the trouble to learn from them. For you often learn more by being wrong for the right reasons than you do by being right for the wrong reasons. . . it’s not just learning things that’s important. It’s learning what to do with what you learn and learning why you learn things at all that matters. . .whatever we learn has a purpose and whatever we do affects everything and everyone else, if even in the tiniest way.” (Juster 233) We all have to learn information that initially seems insignificant. We take steps one at a time to master complicated arithmetic problems or to comprehend the structure of a sophisticated college-level word. With the help of valuable insights as these and helpful travel companions, Milo used the gifts of words and his magic staff to help restore Rhyme and Reason to the Kingdom of Wisdom. The journey of life is meant to be paved with lessons and teachers who make our trip worthwhile and our path more enjoyable. Rubric: Ob.

story. 3-REVISE the paragraph, then UPLOAD it by Sunday night. 4-TAKE Exam 1:
Fiction any time until next Wednesday (note: no new readings).
1. Putting the “Composition” into Composition 2
• You are LEARNING ABOUT FICTION in order to WRITE ABOUT FICTION
• The skills you use to write about fiction, you can then use in real life
to write about incident reports, peer reviews, etc.
• We will start by writing an ACADEMIC PARAGRAPH
• Next week, we will write an ESSAY, which will include:
• An introductory paragraph
• 2 or more academic paragraphs, and
• A concluding paragraph
2. The Academic Paragraph (with an Example)
ACADEMIC PARAGRAPHS, in literary analysis, exist to communicate ONE (1) specific
insight about a story, poem, or play. This time, we’re doing short stories.
WHY WRITE? Consider Comic-Con, book clubs, and fandoms (like Trekkers or
Browncoats). Also, this develops your ability to look at evidence and build a theory

name the author & title. If you
think a reader may need a

use quotation marks and cite
your source! It's a good idea,
toward the start, to give a one-
line summary of the story in
your own words—name the
main characters. You should
have points to make that
support your topic sentence. Put
them before the quotes that
support them. Support can be
given as quotes and as facts
from the story. If you use a story
with page numbers, remember
to put the page number of the
quote in parentheses after the
quote. Make sure you proved
your point, by the end, even if
you feel you're stating the
obvious, because you probably
are not stating the obvious.
Finish with a restatement of the
topic sentence.

Venice Family Clinic
Introduction
Venice Family Clinic (VFC) is well‐known for giving quality wellbeing services to populaces deprived through a powerful volunteer model. Established in 1970, it has a long history of volunteerism, which has been coordinated into the way of life of the association. There is great leadership involvement in the model just as an internal framework set up to enlist and support volunteer doctors, including clinic space, systems for scheduling patients, and a full‐time volunteer organizer. Additionally, VFC has longstanding relationships with private healthcare facilities in the region.
A department likely to exist within the organization
VFC has a unit that offers psychiatric health services that incorporates counseling, mental services, and psychosocial support identified with the social stress of poverty, homelessness, joblessness, and aggressive behavior at home. Services include emergency intercession just as an individual, family, and group treatment. Albeit, once in a while, challenges make it difficult to pick an ideal setting; it is significant as well, where conceivable, think about privacy. VFC thinks about confidentiality as one of the keys to excellent communication, as the client is probably going to reveal data of a private and sensitive nature (Carroll & Richardson, 2016).
The financial condition of the Clinic
Venice's family clinic financial report of 2012 current liabilities is 3,398, 342, while the total existing assets total up to 9,913,386. Therefore, 2.89 is the current ratio of the clinic. This ratio is somewhat high, which implies, the clinic is not using its financial capabilities resourcefully. The clinic, however, is in a position to meet its short-term financial obligation because it has good liquidity. Conversely, 0.21 is the debt to equity ratio, which means the facility can manage its daily operations without getting help from financiers. At the beginning of the year, net resources remain at 20,690,947, while toward the end of the year, the net resource was 18,876, 692, which suggests that the facility has a net loss of 1,841,255. This clearly shows the medical clinic will experience financial constraints in sustaining its operations. Therefore, the clinic needs to control its cost to avoid losing the money (Carroll & Richardson, 2016).
Healthcare trends likely to affect the Clinic
Today, health care systems are determined to provide a patient-centered treatment, which is a trend brought about due to technology proliferation. Most health centers are integrating technology in their operation, clinical aspects, as well as administrative. As healthcare transform to becoming more goals focused and systemic, they are coming up with approaches and techniques aimed to improve the patient’s experience.

This summary analyzes the vignette using a narrative therapy approach. It discusses how John and Mary may have internalized different cultural narratives from their upbringings that influence their parenting styles. John's view of tough discipline could stem from experiencing racism growing up and wanting to prepare his sons, while Mary's desire to protect her sons may relate to traditional gender roles in African American families. The therapist would need to be culturally sensitive and understand each person's perspective without stereotyping, while also considering their ethical and legal obligations.

Narrative Therapy
A narrative therapist would listen respectfully to John and Mary’s stories, and to understand the influence that these stories have had on their lives (Corey, 2013). “Because of the power of dominant culture narratives, individuals tend to internalize the messages from these dominant discourses, which often work against the life opportunity of the individual” (p. 410). Growing up in a culture where he may have experienced racism and prejudice, John may have internalized a story that children must toughen up to the world. “Within the family, African-American parents use a number of disciplinary actions that prepare children to live in a racist environment where unfairness and discrimination are common. In that vein, respect for authority is typically nonnegotiable in African-American families; children who are disrespectful receive the most severe forms of punishment-usually physical” (Evans, 2013, p.65). Thus, the heavy-handed discipline John experienced himself as a child may be an acceptable cultural narrative of his own parenting style with his sons today. John’s view of the school of hard knox may represent his narrative that his sons should attend school where they will learn to, cope with racism, which includes developing a tough skin. Mary may have internalized a story from her own childhood where traditional African-American mothers raise daughters to be empowered and independent but for their sons, independence is not stressed as strongly and punishment is not as severe, often enabling their male children (Evans, 2013). This could explain her desire to protect and her sons from harmful aspects of life and John’s harsh disciplinary measures. The therapist must be aware of stereotyping and learn how to recognize diversity issues and work with John and Mary in the context of their worldview. It is an ethical obligation for counselors to develop sensitivity to cultural differences (Corey, 2013). While John’s style of discipline may be culture-laden, the therapist must look at his or her own professional obligation according to the legal and ethical code of the state in which they work.
Listening with an Open Mind
Narrative therapists must listen to clients without judgment or blame, affirming and valuing them. This might be difficult for the therapist in the vignette since there is already a judgment on John through problematic narratives of the therapist’s own father. The therapist may have difficulty working with John without imposing their value systems and interpretations. The therapist must listen to this couple’s problem-saturated stories without getting stuck (Core.

Thesis statement: Despite assertions that bullying is just kids being kids, the behavior actually
comes from not understanding differences, disabilities, and specialness – a problem parents,
educators, and others who work with children can use fiction to solve.
Constantinescu, C. & Samuels, C. A. (2016, September 6). Studies flag potential downside to
inclusion. Education Week. Retrieved from www.edweek.org.
Constantinescu and Samuels review studies that suggest inclusion of special education
students with typical peers can be problematic, particularly for younger children. In fact, several
studies indicated that typical children in kindergarten and first grade who have special needs
peers in their classes are more likely to have behavior issues, problems with social skills, and
lower scores in reading and math (2016). The article describes the experience of one education
teacher who expressed concern that inclusion of special needs students in the classroom
negatively influences the behavior of other students by precipitating and increasing incidents of
verbal and/or physical conflict between the students (Constantinescu & Samuels, 2016).
Education Week has been publishing since 1981, and they cover different angles on an
array of education-related issues. The authors have published other articles in Education Week
and elsewhere. The topics are all about education, but not all are focused on inclusion or special
needs students, which helped me conclude that they do not have a biased agenda. Within the
article, they cite research studies to support their ideas, and this article was published in 2016,
making it recent.
This article could be seen as a challenge to my argument. Clearly, the described situation
is unacceptable, but inclusion is not the problem; it is a lack of strategies and support to teach all

HIV/AIDS is one of the many factors that are usually affecting the world. Research shows that a total number of 1.1 million people are living with HIV, and 75% of the population in amerce don’t know that they get infected with the virus (Burkholder & Nash, Special populations in health care, 2013). HIV/AIDS affects people from all genders, races, and ethnic age. Today the most significant population of people living with HIV/AIDS are more affected in terms of Medicare and Medicaid. Healthcare facility though they offer antiretroviral which helps prolong patients with HIV it’s not sufficient enough to a permanent solution.

When it comes to age HIV/AIDs, the young are more like to survive longer if they engage early with the treatment procedure and healthier factor than the old. When the old generation gets infected with HIV/AIDS that creates a crisis in the next generation in terms of survival, those affected are more likely to lose jobs, education, and health care to discrimination and end up relying on aid. The reliance on welfare is more likely to happen among those with HIV/AIDS as well to help mitigate their health condition.
According to research, those populations with HIV/AIDS are more likely to spend most of their incomes on healthcare than other items. HIV/AIDS populations are more like not to get hired on a job due to health issues and risk poverty lines. When a country has a large population of people with HIV/AIDS the country is headed in crisis and is likely to lead under a financial crisis to healthcare management. Infrastructure development and other beneficial programs that might benefit the country are halted to stop epidemic rise of HIV/AIDS in the country. There are no special jobs designed for those with HIV/AIDS, thus forcing the broad population into poverty. To mitigate the income crisis the government and private parties should work together and find way to help create specific jobs and cheap healthcare programs.

The Coast Guard has a legal mandate on issues that revolve around maritime transportation, the shipping in and out of hazardous material, oil spillage responses, administering bridges, piloting, and operation of vessels and the building of vessels (United States Coast Guard 2016). Although the Coast Guard is usually under Homeland Security, it can be moved temporarily to the Navy, especially during cases of war.
Roles and Missions of The US Coast Guard/ Strengths of US Coast Guard
The US Coast Guard has several strengths when it comes to its roles and missions. One of the strong points of the Coastal Guard is maintaining maritime safety. In maintaining maritime safety, the Coastal Guard works towards eliminating deaths, injuries, and property damage that may occur in the course of transport, fishing, recreation, and any other activities on the water. The Coastal Guard also conducts missions such as investigations, preventing disasters from happening, and responding when disasters happen. They make sure that all the people operating vessels in the sea are licensed. They also conduct ice patrol to ensure that vessels do not run into the areas that are frozen.
The other strength of the Coastal Guard is that they participate in national defence. The Coastal Guard supports the National Security Strategy. Often, they operate under Homeland Security, but in instances of war, they are shifted to operate under the Navy. In national defense, the Coastal Guard is supposed to conduct maritime military interceptions, respond to military distress calls, secure ports, engage in peacetime military engagements, and oversee the coastal sea control operations.
The other strong role played by the Coast.

Values and Norms Inside a Tattoo Parlor
An Observational Study
Cascadia Community College
Introduction:
I have chosen to research the values and norms of the subculture surrounding tattoos. While many cultures the world over have had a reverent and traditional relationship with tattooing and other body modifications for generations, western culture has only become more accepting of this form of artwork in the past couple of decades. I was interested in studying this subculture because of the still-evolving shift of opinions about body modification. As mainstream culture becomes increasingly accepting of tattoos, the spaces where they are obtained are, in turn, more popular. Just over a decade after the turn of the twenty-first century, about 40% of Americans between 26 and 40 years old are tattooed (Larsen, Markham, & Patterson 2014), and even television shows centered on tattoos have become successful. However, there is still a fair amount of misunderstanding between mainstream western culture and tattoo culture. At present, there are still individuals and groups, usually who are more conservative, that look down on tattoos, not only on the grounds of relation to criminal activity, but also that the very act of getting tattooed is unsanitary and dangerous. Even in more accepting spaces, people with several visible tattoos are exoticized and can be subjected to repetitive and invasive questions surrounding their body art. In observing a tattoo parlor, I hoped to answer the following questions: In what ways can the process of tattooing be considered dangerous, if any? In what ways do the norms and values of this subculture differ from those of the western mainstream?
Literature Review:
In their review, Larsen, Markham, and Patterson (2014) share various studies reflecting a historically negative public opinion – a “stigma of deviance” – surrounding tattoos in western culture, dating as far back as the ancient Greeks. Deviance, as defined by McIntyre, is “the flip side of conformity” (2014), and the sanctions placed to prevent it from infiltrating the mainstream can have serious consequences. Tattoos represented the “other” in terms of social status and were even given involuntarily as a means of visually differentiating the tattooed person from the rest of society. Later, voluntary tattoos in the west were sought out mainly by criminals, or by those in the military. Tattooed people were not only avoided socially but could also be barred from employment in many spaces. While the twentieth century saw tattoos gain traction as a means of carving out identity, or a form of postmodernist self-expression, they describe a “tattoo Renaissance” taking place in the relatively recent 1980s. At this time, there was a growing focus on the artistry and creativity of tattooing, rather than the denouncement of the “type” of person who would seek it. The stigm.

Narrative Therapy
A narrative therapist would listen respectfully to John and Mary’s stories, and to understand the influence that these stories have had on their lives (Corey, 2013). “Because of the power of dominant culture narratives, individuals tend to internalize the messages from these dominant discourses, which often work against the life opportunity of the individual” (p. 410). Growing up in a culture where he may have experienced racism and prejudice, John may have internalized a story that children must toughen up to the world. “Within the family, African-American parents use a number of disciplinary actions that prepare children to live in a racist environment where unfairness and discrimination are common. In that vein, respect for authority is typically nonnegotiable in African-American families; children who are disrespectful receive the most severe forms of punishment-usually physical” (Evans, 2013, p.65). Thus, the heavy-handed discipline John experienced himself as a child may be an acceptable cultural narrative of his own parenting style with his sons today. John’s view of the school of hard knox may represent his narrative that his sons should attend school where they will learn to, cope with racism, which includes developing a tough skin. Mary may have internalized a story from her own childhood where traditional African-American mothers raise daughters to be empowered and independent but for their sons, independence is not stressed as strongly and punishment is not as severe, often enabling their male children (Evans, 2013). This could explain her desire to protect and her sons from harmful aspects of life and John’s harsh disciplinary measures. The therapist must be aware of stereotyping and learn how to recognize diversity issues and work with John and Mary in the context of their worldview. It is an ethical obligation for counselors to develop sensitivity to cultural differences (Corey, 2013). While John’s style of discipline may be culture-laden, the therapist must look at his or her own professional obligation according to the legal and ethical code of the state in which they work.
Listening with an Open Mind
Narrative therapists must listen to clients without judgment or blame, affirming and valuing them. This might be difficult for the therapist in the vignette since there is already a judgment on John through problematic narratives of the therapist’s own father. The therapist may have difficulty working with John without imposing their value systems and interpretations. The therapist must listen to this couple’s problem-saturated stories without getting stuck (Core.

Li and Zhang (2014), investigate how technology can be used in a simulation that would aid in determining how effectively smart grid technology can be implemented. The successful implementation of smart grid technology requires the combination of several different frameworks that rely on information communication technology to aid in the regulation of power created and supplied. A simulation of possible communication networks that can be used is made in the study as a way of testing the viability of a smart grid system and its application in reality. The paper successfully identifies various simulation frameworks that can be used to successfully gauge how the system can be created. The findings show that information technology can play an integral role in creating simulations that can support policymaking.

Sarabando, Cravino, and Soares (2014) investigate the use of computer simulation to analyse how students learn key concepts of physics. Software is used to analyse common learning processes used in teaching physics. Students in the sample population were asked to carry out learning activities ordinarily on the traditional learning environment. The results were then compared to learning activities that were carried out using computer software. The findings showed that the use of computer simulation in learning improved the retention rate, while the language used by teachers also impacted the speed of learning. The findings of the study can be used in the formulation of learning policies, which shows that IT simulation can be successfully used in the formulation of public policy.

Abstract
This study was aimed at determining and comparing the potential of various weights of activated bentonite (BN). BN is an essential adsorbent used to remove copper sulfate in aqueous systems. This bentonite composes of 1M ammonium chloride i.e. NH3CL ratio; 1:1, w/w. The investigation of the adsorption ability of the naturally activated material (BN) to adsorb copper sulfate (CUSO4.5H2O) was investigated using UV-VIS spectrophotometry. Raw BN (unheated) has the adsorption ability and thus eliminates copper (II) ions from this aqueous solution. BN has approximately 62% efficiency of eliminating Cu2+ from copper sulfate. Various studies have determined that the removal efficiency of copper (II) ions increase with the rise in temperature of BN with temperatures not exceeding 200 C having about 69% efficiency. The percentage was seen to rise to close to 90% when BN was treated thermally. The optimal values of the removal rate of Cu2+ resulted when the BN dosage was 0.4g/100mL.
1.0 Introduction
The existence of heavy metals in most of the aquatic systems has raised significant concern owing to their high toxicity. The contamination of water with heavy metals results from daily human activities. It has been observed that lead concentration in areas inhabited by people is 20 times higher than in regions that are not influenced directly by the actions of people. As a result, various regulations and laws have been enacted to control effluence with these heavy metals. Thus, the Environmental Protection Agency, an institution set by the federal government to adjust and observe pollutants discharge in the environment, has set the allowable limits of massive metal emissions as copper 1.3 ppm, mercury two ppb, cadmium 5ppb, lead 15 ppb and chromium 100 ppb (EPA). Copper is one of the conventional metal as it is used in metal mechanic manufactories, industrial plant, and also in food production. Although many laws have set limits of allowable copper emissions, excess of its compounds are prevalent in water bodies. Therefore, it has become necessary to find ways of safely removing copper from aqueous solutions.
This study is aimed at investigating the efficiency of an adsorbent material BN in adsorption of CuSO4 from aqueous solutions. The investigation was conducted using the usages rates of BN, the influence of BN dose, and results from other batch adsorption studies.2.0 Literature Review
In the last few decades, contamination of water resources with ions from heavy metals has increased, becoming a global concern. Studies have shown that some metals are toxic to the ecological environment and human lives. Copper sulfate is a compound of copper and sulfur which forms a heavy metal precipitate in water bodies. However, copper in controlled amounts is essential in life forms due to its extensive role in the ge.

Introduction
This course is designed for the department of engineering. In this engineering course, I will teach the learners about water resource engineering. They will learn Integrated Water Resources Development (IWRD) and Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) as a general framework for Water Resources Engineering. The students will mention water challenges experienced in their locality. This will be done in groups of five students with the aim of stating challenges of water and how to solve them. At the end of each lesson the teacher will lead in demonstration of various water resources and how water from the sources can be harnessed. The following will be the student learning goals; Learners will be able to understand elements integrated water resources management. Learners will be able to know erosion and deposition in rivers, Learners will be able to learn laws governing water in their country and internationally, Learners will be able to know erosion and deposition in rivers, Learners will be able to sit in groups and discuss different water sources.
Since this is an engineering lesson, it will be necessary to conduct a practical experience. Learners play an active role and engage more during practical exercises than in theoretical practices. During practical exercises, students get a chance to utilize what they learnt in class and build confidence while at it to deal with real world situations. Allowing students to have discussions in groups’ plays a great role in learning experience by enhancing democratic learning, complements reflective learning and accommodates individual difference. Therefore, I aim to mix the low-ability learners with the high ability learners and help in leading discussions to ensure achievement of learning goals by the end of the course.
Learning goals
Learning goals state what the teacher intends the students to achieve as a result of a successful completion of the teaching experience. It could be at the end of a program, a course or learning experience. A course learning goal explains what the students will be capable to perform at the end of a course while program goal is what the student is capable of achieving at the end of their degree or diploma certificate. A well state learning goals should state the outcomes (Marzano, 2010). This is basically what the student will be in a position to do after they successfully complete the course. They should be simple and clear such that everyone comprehends them. They should focu.

One of the most interesting aspects of persuasion is that it can apply to so many different
areas in life, from the personal to the professional to the academic. A few months ago, I had an
opportunity to use persuasive writing on Facebook to help my cousin reach an important
decision. She had posted about wanting to adopt a cat but mentioned that she didn’t like having
to fill out the lengthy application that her local shelter required. She posted a little rant about this
and ended it with, “Maybe I should just buy a kitty at the pet store. It’d be a lot less
complicated!” As someone who has several rescue animals, I have strong feelings about this
subject, and I wanted to address this in a message to her. I told her about my experience adopting
my pets and how rewarding it was to know that these surrendered animals had found a loving
home with me. I even did a little research and shared some statistics I found: Over three million
unwanted cats are brought to shelters each year, and a significant percentage of them end up
getting euthanized (ASPCA, 2018). Since my cousin is a very down-to-earth person, I wrote
about all this in a way that I knew would speak to her: factually and straightforward, with a little
humor thrown in (I included some funny stories about Tippy, my newest rescue). She ended up
thanking me profusely for the message, and not two weeks later she was back on Facebook
again, posting pictures of the beautiful domestic shorthair cat she adopted from the shelter.
Another equally important area of persuasive communication is that which occurs in a
professional context. As a future psychologist, I will likely be responsible for proposing
treatment plans and collaborating on treatment plans in a team setting as well. For the time being,
I am working in a call center, and I recently had a firsthand experience with persuasive
workplace communication. My coworkers and I had been talking among ourselves about how

I. Overview of Uber
Uber is a ride sharing company that was launched in San Francisco in 2010 when UberCab connected its first rider with a town car for a ride across the city (Uber.com). The company was designed to allow consumers to hail a ride from local drivers with the simple push of a button (using an app), and has since disrupted the taxi cab industry. The inception of Uber brought new technology and ideas into a transportation sector historically lacking in innovation and customer service. The company’s founders saw an opportunity to use technologies such as smartphones, GPS and Google Maps to improve transportation and the result has been a more convenient, faster and cheaper service.
Uber is headquartered in San Francisco, California and operates by charging consumers for rides. This is primarily how the company generates revenue (although they do participate in some advertising on their website). The Uber app facilitates the location of a driver and the transfer of funds. The fare is then charged to the consumer’s credit card (Investopedia.com, 2018). Uber quickly raised money and launched operations in hundreds of cities; it is now in over 65 countries and cities worldwide. Last year, Uber announced it had completed 4 billion trips (15 million trips are completed each day) (Uber.com).
Since 2010, Uber’s service offerings have become quite expansive. Although they initially offered only full service luxury vehicles, now when hailing a ride consumers have choices such as Uber Pool, Uber X, Uber XL and Uber Black. These choices were non-existent previously with taxi cab companies. More recently, Uber has entered other markets such as the food delivery business. They now offer services such as UberEATs which delivers food from local restaurants (Ubereats.com, 2018).
To understand Uber’s main competitors and market structure, it is important to understand some of the history behind taxi companies, especially in major cities. Taxi cab drivers had a monopoly prior to Uber entering in many cities such as New York. In 1937, New York City passed the Haas Act which established a licensing system to influence supply. The system required taxi drivers to purchase a medallion in order to operate. The government sells limited numbers of medallions which allows them to control competition and entry into the market. This is at the expense of consumers since it restricts supply and keeps costs high. Despite a growing population, the number of available medallions has remained partially fixed, only increasing marginally. Taxi drivers with a medallion enjoy high profits and have fewer incentives to ensure satisfaction. Today, the number of medallions in New York City remains capped, maintaining a barrier to entry.
After Uber launched in New York City, the prices of medallions dropped significantly; this has be.

Attitude refers to the tendency of positively or negatively responding to a particular situation, idea, person, or object. An individual's attitude affects the choices they make, as well as how they respond to rewards, incentives, and challenges. Abortion, on the other hand, refers to the termination of a pregnancy by removing an embryo or fetus before its survival in the environment outside the uterus. When an abortion happens without intervention is known as a miscarriage. Induced abortion is what happens when there are intentional steps and procedures put in place to end a pregnancy. There are different attitudes toward abortion among various groups of people (Fabrigar & Wegener, 2010).
A significant percentage of women have a positive attitude towards abortion and support it if the pregnancy was unplanned. Women desire to terminate an unwanted pregnancy. Some women also argue that abortion should be legalized while another portion is against the idea of legalizing it. Most of those who support its legalization have practiced or have helped others abort. Most people who believe in God do not support abortion because they think only God has permission to terminate one's life. They view abortion breaking the commandment, which states that thou shall not kill. Many religious leaders are also not in support of abortion since it is a way of murdering an innocent soul (Doran & Nancarrow, 2015). In most countries, abortion under the law is illegal except when the life of the mother is in danger, and the only way of saving the life of that mother would be by terminating the pregnancy.
Attitude affects the daily decision in my life as well of those around me. For example, my negative attitude towards a certain meal makes me avoid making it when it's my turn to prepare food at home. This causes chaos at home since my not liking the meal does not necessarily mean that the other members of the family do not like it. Also, sometimes, a day doesn't always go the way I wanted. This makes my moods and reactions for the rest of the day change, which profoundly affects those around me. This is due to most of the choices I make will be negative based on how the day has been.
My research about abortion has affected my view of the abortion issue. I have learned that it is not always that abortion is deliberate since sometimes miscarriage can occur without the consent of the pregnant woman. Sometimes it is understandable for the abortion to be affected, especially if the life of the mother is in danger. For example, if the child has died while still in the womb, the only way to save the mother's life would be by inducing them so that the child is removed.
Choosing the topic of abortion might lead to cropping up of different issues such as debates on whether abortion should be accepted or not as well as counseling issues. Counseling on pregnancy mig.

Introduction
A healthcare system is an organization of funds, individuals, and institutions which provide healthcare to satisfy the health requirements of a society. Globally, healthcare systems vary depending on the specific healthcare needs of particular states. Nevertheless, the common aspects of public and private care are often similar (Drummond, Sculpher, Claxton, Stoddart & Torrance, 2015). Over the years, we have witnessed the systems evolving, and with this constant change, it is vital to analyze operational challenges, trends, and issues for the U.S. healthcare executives. In this paper, the main areas that will be discussed are operational challenges, trends, and problems experienced in the United States health care executives.
Challenges experienced in the healthcare workplace
Various problems have been experienced in the healthcare workplace relating to healthcare provision in the United States. Financial difficulties are one of the main challenges being experienced in the healthcare workplace in the United States. The vital financial problems arise due to lack of enough finances for implementation of new technologies to improve healthcare delivery process (Mayes, 2017). Most healthcare facilities lack adequate funds to implement advanced technologies that can be used to increase the quality of healthcare delivery. As a result, this has reduced healthcare quality improvement plans in the United States. Therefore, there is a need for federal governments to meek proper arrangements to fund all healthcare activities to improve services delivery in the health sector.
Besides, healthcare professionals to comply with federal requirements for electronic health records is another challenge that has been experienced in the United States healthcare workplace. For the past year, some healthcare professionals have failed to comply with federal government guidelines regarding health care delivery (Mayes, 2017). Furthermore, the increasing number of patients who cannot pay for health care services is a significant challenge that has been experienced in the United States healthcare delivery systems. These finance challenges adversely affect healthcare delivery system in the United States.
Work overload is another major challenge that has been experienced in the United States health sectors (Mayes, 2017). Observations for past years reveal that work overload at the workplace affects the performance of health care professionals in the United States. Most healthcare professionals are assigned many responsibilities at workplaces, which reduces their efficiency.
Another cause of the rising cost of healthcare is the introduction of government programs. For example, Medicare assists those without insurance, which led to an incre.

Cathedral
By Raymond Carver (1981)
This blind man, an old friend of my wife’s, he was on his way to
spend the night. His wife had died. So he was visiting the dead wife’s
relatives in Connecticut. He called my wife from his in-law’s. Arrangements
were made. He would come by train, a five-hour trip, and my wife would
meet him at the station. She hadn’t seen him since she worked for him one
summer in Seattle ten years ago. But she and the blind man had kept in
touch. They made tapes and mailed them back and forth. I wasn’t
enthusiastic about his visit. He was no one I knew. And his being blind
bothered me. My idea of blindness came from the movies. In the movies, the
blind moved slowly and never laughed. Sometimes they were led by seeing-
eye dogs. A blind man in my house was not something I looked forward to.
That summer in Seattle she had needed a job. She didn’t have any
money. The man she was going to marry at the end of the summer was in
officers’ training school. He didn’t have any money, either. But she was in
love with the guy, and he was in love with her, etc. She’d seen something in
the paper: HELP WANTED—Reading to Blind Man, and a telephone
number. She phoned and went over, was hired on the spot. She worked with
this blind man all summer. She read stuff to him, case studies, reports, that
sort of thing..

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Essay Test Why do you think Mr. Juster used so many puns and play o.docx
- 1. Essay Test: Why do you think Mr. Juster used so many puns and play on words in his writing of this tale? Use your literary terms discussed in Assignment 3, along with textual evidence, to explain your answer. Please use proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation. An essay is at least one paragraph in length, and each paragraph needs to be constructed properly. Here is a reminder of how each paragraph should be constructed. Topic sentence Commentary with textual evidence Supporting details Supporting detail Commentary with textual evidence Supporting detail Supporting detail Concluding sentence What follows in an anchor essay that you can review before writing yours on another essay topic for this novel. Read it carefully as many times as you see fit in order for you to get an idea of what yours should sound like. Take notes! In Norton Juster’s thought-provoking novel, The Phantom Tollbooth , we encounter Milo, a school-aged boy who is terribly bored with life and finds no purpose in learning until he meets some interesting teachers along the way. Mr. Juster establishes the theme of lifelong learning early in his novel when he states “he regarded the process of seeking knowledge as the greatest waste of time of all.” (Juster 9) Early in Milo’s journey, he meets the Lethargarians–curious creatures who blend into their environments and loiter all of their lives. They even have rules against laughter and thinking. He learns that he must think in order to escape the Doldrums. Late in the novel, Milo
- 2. encounters the Terrible Trivium, a demon who specializes in wasting time with insignificant tasks that do not matter. This demon sets Milo onto the task of using a pair of tweezers to move a pile of sand that Milo cunningly figures out will take him over eight hundred years to complete. Juster continues the lesson of the importance of education with the introduction of the characters of Princess Rhyme and Princess Reason. “You must never feel badly about making mistakes as long as you take the trouble to learn from them. For you often learn more by being wrong for the right reasons than you do by being right for the wrong reasons. . . it’s not just learning things that’s important. It’s learning what to do with what you learn and learning why you learn things at all that matters. . .whatever we learn has a purpose and whatever we do affects everything and everyone else, if even in the tiniest way.” (Juster 233) We all have to learn information that initially seems insignificant. We take steps one at a time to master complicated arithmetic problems or to comprehend the structure of a sophisticated college-level word. With the help of valuable insights as these and helpful travel companions, Milo used the gifts of words and his magic staff to help restore Rhyme and Reason to the Kingdom of Wisdom. The journey of life is meant to be paved with lessons and teachers who make our trip worthwhile and our path more enjoyable.
