Hubert Dreyfus has for many years, argued against the concept computers could think as human beings do. He argues that artificial intelligence will never match human intelligence. Over the years, more advanced computers with the ability to perform various activities without human intervention have been developed. While some scientists argue that computers can think independently and take appropriate action, other scientists such as Hubert Dreyfus are of a contrary opinion. Hubert Dreyfus has published several books to discredit the thinking that artificial intelligence will make computers effectively as human beings. Popular publications by Hubert Dreyfus discrediting the notion that computers can think as human beings include Alchemy and Al, What…

Literary techniques are helpful in short stories for various reasons. “The Fly” by Katherine Mansfield, “A Secret Lost in the Water by Roch Carrier”, and “The Lottery” by Shirley Jackson all employ literary techniques to convey their various messages. Based on the three works, it is evident that literary techniques can help conveying messages that cannot be easily grasped concretely. Symbolism refers to the use of images to represent ideas or themes. For instance, the Lottery entails the use of the term, “black box” to refer to various themes in the story (Jackson 25). It is arguable that the term, black, refers to darkness, as well as to a culture…

Taco Bell, a Mexican inspired restaurant, was founded in 1954 by its owner Glen Bell in California. For theIn the first eight years of its existence, the business operated exclusively as a drive-in as its first official restaurant opened in 1962. Two decades ago, Taco Bell had a presence in the European region in the UK before it closed down in 1986 due to poor performance and a lack of acceptability by the target population. In 2010, the business made public its decision to re-enter the European market, which it did at the end of the same year (Dominguez, 2015). The first restaurant in London opened in 2018, but at…

A community can be defined as a group of people living in a particular area or those that share a common characteristic. However, the aspect of a community involves more than the above two facets. It also consists of the connection between the intangible human and nonhuman relationship in an area. In healthcare, the inclusion of the community aspect and the local healthcare system is very successful in the planning, governance, and provision of better services (Forbes & Watt, 2015). The World Health Organization defines community engagement as the relationship development process between stakeholders towards addressing health-related issues and promoting general wellbeing. In specific, this paper analyzes the risks of…

Diabetes is a matter of global concern, and is one of the main causes of healthcare expenditures across the world. The condition occurs when the body is unable to produce insulin, or cannot efficiently use the insulin produced by the pancreas. This leads to hyperglycemia, or heightened blood sugar levels, which in the long term, can cause significant damage to the body’s organ systems, especially the kidneys and heart. The number of diabetic patients has increased four times since 1980, from 108 million then, to 422 million in 2014, and in 2016, 1.6 million people died due to complications from diabetes (WHO, 2018). According to Kaiser, Zhang and Van Der…

Introduction Aircraft fires are extremely rare and usually occur in the event of a serious accident. However, airlines cannot neglect the likelihood of a fire, as it may entail large human victims and cause substantial material and environmental damage. In order to ensure the safety of people, preserve aircraft, and minimize possible damage, ensuring compliance with the fire safety requirements set out in the airline’s regulatory documents is necessary. However, the desire of the civil aviation industry to increase the comfort of passengers and satisfy their needs as much as possible often leads to dangerous situations. Therefore, there is a problem of defining the line between the requirements of the…

Compliance with Core Measures Core measures are evidence-based practices that were introduced to enhance better delivery of medical services and promote the management of patients. The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), in conjunction with The Joint Commission (TJC), analyzed agreed practices and formulated various set processes that are used to address different conditions (Bulloch, Tapley, Sivaraman, & Parton, 2016). Notably, this strategy encourages medical professionals to follow a standardized approach when dealing with patients. The organization I work for has a 90% compliance rate to the core measures established when dealing with pneumonia. The pneumonia guidelines provide that medical staff should promote the cessation of smoking for people…

Asian Americans and African Americans are amongst the emigrant races found in the U.S. They began their entry into the country in the 18th century. The populations of these nations have increased considerably over the years. However, in the 21st century, under Trump’s reign, there has been a sharp decline in their populations. It is majorly attributed to the immigration laws put in place by the president’s government. In terms of religion, there is a widespread community of Christians and Muslims dispersed in the various states. Other religions are Buddhism, Hinduism, and Sikhism while the Black Americans are Catholics, with a majority confessing no religion. As such, there exist peculiar…

Growing up in a small, conservative and religious community, I was brought up to believe that homosexuality was one of the most immoral act that a human being could ever be involved in. Being an era in which campaigns for gay rights were gaining global traction, I can specifically remember instances when my father would sit my siblings and me down and advise us why homosexuality was entirely evil. Every interaction with adults and elders in our small community rebuked the immoral nature of homosexuality. Influential figures around me, such as Ms. Hilda Cork, who was my head teacher at elementary school and Mr. Luke Doe; the local church minister,…
