Surveillance Art #Notabugsplat is a project unveiled by artists in Pakistan in 2014 as a response to civilians who died from the U.S drone strike. The project involved the reproduction of a young girl’s portrait on a large vinyl poster that was briefly displayed outside the city of Peshawar. The girl in print is unknown, and she is said to have lost her parents and two siblings. This artwork seeks to interpellate drone pilots who might see the girl’s face when flying their aircraft overhead. Artists intend to shame drone operators and make them realize the human cost of their actions. This interpellation produces several subject positions. Therefore, it is not incidental that the artists behind this project produced an over-exposed image of a young girl to stare back at pilots and represent the art project to the media and the world. First, the girl’s sex, age, and rustic dress connote someone in need of being saved from men’s violence and violation. Secondly, her face appears light-complexioned and luminous indicating purity, innocence, and vulnerability. #Notabugsplat, therefore, adds drone pilots, directly…
Part 1: Intake Eliza, who is aged 18, is a Caucasian female, a freshman student in college. She pursued Engineering and mentioned that her family lived in a small town that was roughly 2 hours away from school. She went out to seek counseling when she was caught using drugs in a non-alcoholic school. Under the influence of alcohol, her friends were intoxicated and she was left out. This was because she did not understand why she drank alcohol, but because her friends were drinking. In addition to that, she underwent some symptoms, which included anxiety, stress, and low self-esteem. Eliza goes ahead to deny that she had no mental health issue, neither did she have any form of abuse both in the present and in the past. Although she hints at some teasing in high school, she refuses to talk more about it. She claims to have good relationships even though sometimes she feels like they take advantage of her, which refuses to communicate with them. Family wise, she is an only child and terms her mother as controlling…
Before the inauguration of Thomas Jefferson as the president in 1801, sixteen new circuit judgeships were created by the lame-duck federal congress and the organic act number of judgeships that were not specified. Adam filled with the Federalists to preserve judiciary control by his political party and as a way of frustrating the Jefferson list of the legislative and his party. William Marbury from Maryland was the leader of the Federalist Party, and since he was among the last appointments, he didn’t secure his commission before Thomas Jefferson became the president who later, after becoming the president, directed James Madison, who was his secretary, to withhold the commission. Marbury decided to appeal the supreme court to provide a mandamus writ to pressure Madison to act. The court decided to hear the case in its 1803 February term, Marbury vs. Madison. The court was considered to be moot by both the Republicans and the Federalists, but despite all these political challenges, Marshall acknowledged he had a case that was perfect in expounding a basic principle, with which the supreme court would…
Woman as Protagonist The Art. Nancy Spero used the imagery of war to condemn gendered violence. During the historical time, she believed women were seen as objects during combat in Vietnam. There were rape, bomb and war infringing human rights in the murals of 1988. She depicted women as ambitious, strong in the history of man. In the ‘sperm bomb’ imagery, which was commonly referred to as the ‘Male bomb’ by then, she accused states of excessive violence that men’s’ bodies were constricted to gush out chemical gas and cluster bombs to flay skin of children, incinerate, to poison, to torture, and kill. And through descriptions like ‘male bomb.’ Gave impassioned defence of men’s decline to share their fantasies and bodies as weapons. Spero ensured that violence and feminism cases were recognized. Through paintings of Vietnam, conflict reminded people of violence in Vietnam. She used FUCK logo in 1966, Painting missiles depicting naked bodies of bloodied unknown people. Fuck was coded to mean war situation. And through war, all these inhuman things happened, so it was wise to use every…

How Sleep Problems in Childhood Relates to Anxiety Disorders in Adulthood The study of 490 children found that sleep problems such as nightmares sleep talking. The study of selected birth groups found that restlessness and sleep-movement problems were discovered primarily among the minorities of children at ages four up to 15, according to De Santo (2006). The general rate observed here, and the phenomenon of sleep-problem symptoms are coherent with early childhood studies and initial primary school pupils. With time the sleep movement and the sleeplessness generally reduced following hygienic and a lot of lessons. In the middle up to mature childhood, some sleep problems adapt to most children as they grow up. A small group of children still had sleep problems that continued over time; for insomnia and sleep movement, (9–10) % of children manifest the situation at ages four up to 9. A sleepless night was accompanied by some of the mental health symptoms in childhood. Sleeplessness night in youngsters leads to attention, deficit hyperactivity disorder, and externalizing problems. These findings are under the periodic clinical monitoring that…
Criminal behavior Criminal behavior increases linkages between biological conditions and biological theories. Charles Darwin’s evolutionary theories facilitated theorists such as William Sheldon to perceive criminology as a form of a mesomorph, endomorph, and ectomorph body type. However, discussions arose over the possible combination of genetic abnormalities in the human body that facilitates criminal behavior. Notably, the analogy is that male individuals with an added Y-chromosome in an XY- trisomy enabling an XYY genetic trisomy combination tend to engage in criminal behavior. Criminal behavior today creates advances in biological theories that consider the environment to trigger physiological and physical criminal action. Thus, this paper provides a comprehensive analysis of biological theories, the role of law, definition of crime, causal logic, and implication of the criminal justice system. In light of Gibbons (1994). people believe that crime is an association of political and sociological perspectives. Over the years, theorists have underplayed the essence of biology in criminal behavior. Today, behavioral genetics plays an essential role in determining the criminal behavior of an individual. Besides, biological factors facilitate aspects such as antisocial behavior…
Qualitative methods My testing agency My testing agency, in this case, is Harris County Public Hospital. This project aims to determine the number of infected persons and factors contributing to the rapid spread and infections of Human Immunodeficiency Virus and Sexually Transmitted Diseases by the use of qualitative methods. This program’s data will be mainly used to develop strategies to minimize the spread of such diseases. The use of qualitative methods in this project is helpful since social behavior and phenomena will be clearly described via rich contextual data approaches. Since qualitative research is an action approach, the two qualitative methods to be used is interview and observation. Collecting data using qualitative may be tiresome and time-consuming; therefore, to avoid this, individuals responsible for data collection will be organized into two groups to carry specific duties. One group will be responsible for interviewing selected persons while the other will take part in observation processes to determine the daily number of people attending testing centers. Another strategy to be used in data collection is determining which group to focus on to…
Video Review The video ‘Obesity in Children’ by Nashville Public Television talks about the obesity rate reported in children. The video commences by stating the number of obese children in Tennessee, whereby every two out of three children suffer from the condition. The video claims that this number represents the sixth-highest rate of obesity in the United States. The possible causes of this condition in children include more extended hours of watching television and inadequate physical activities. According to the video, most children spend at least three hours a day watching TV. Six in every ten children do not engage in physical activities (0:35). Also, the rate of obese children differs according to their race, where white children record lower obesity cases than black and Latino children. In (0:46), the Latino children weigh almost double the white weight, as the black children weigh more than double as the whites. The weighty values are dangerous since they could make the children live shorter lives as compared to their parents. The video gives a story of a young girl, Olivia, who was…
