In Dan Brock’s “voluntary active euthanasia,” Brock discusses some of the reasons that support the idea to allow voluntary active euthanasia. He argues against killing the patient involuntarily and states that it is acceptable to let the patient die by not taking away his or her life. I will agree with Brock’s view on legalizing the use of active euthanasia because a patient’s autonomy should be respected. I will disagree with the legalization of physician-assisted suicide based on its consequences,...

Introduction Symbolic interaction theory is a sociological theory that explains the importance of the meaning we attach to our communications with others. The theory describes the ways people interact with each other, the meaning people attach to those interactions, and furthermore, how those meanings shape our individual selves and society (Rogers, 2016). The theory’s focus on the meanings that a client places on their experiences help explain and predict their behavior. Applying the symbolic interaction theory to analyze Jeanette’s behavior...

This was no different after World War II, and through the 1960s. In the 1970s, however, the economy shifted completely from a manufacturing-based economy to one of service. Because many...

According to Kevin Kruse, (www.forbes.com), a leader has nothing to do with seniority or one’s position in the hierarchy of a company. It has nothing to do with titles.

They could be in your place of worship, your neighborhood, your family, or even in your local grocery store. The...

Many texts often explore androcentrism and are repressive in relation to women, perpetuating ultimately degrading representations of women and assigning cultural constructs of gender roles. As H. Bertens writes in ‘Literary Theory: The Basics’, women are traditionally seen with “helplessness and renouncing all ambition and desire”, where “female independence…gets a strongly negative connotation”. However, Lionel Shriver’s ‘We Need to Talk About Kevin’ ultimately seeks to subvert and challenge these representations of women in the form of motherhood, exploring how a...
