The year 1964 has been a very powerful time for the Civil Rights Movement. All the protests and fight for equality has been called for by activists all over America. There have been many films and music committed to show people that the country need to change and that discriminating against people is immoral. All the revolt against society and its norms have led to the important event, where on July 2, 1964 the Civil Rights Act was signed by President Johnson. In January 13, 1964 was the release of the song that supported for such an event was by Bob Dylan called The Times They Are A Changin’. The movie that also called out to people to change was Black Like Me, released in May 20, 1964. Due to the release of such songs and films, there was clearly an issue of inequality and injustice going on in America. The intolerance of people who aren’t white was rising especially in the south. The creation of the song and film hoped to open people eyes to what was going on in Ame rica. I think that the song and film helped society by making them realize that the Civil Rights Act needed to be passed and that the ways things were had to change. On the day of the signing of the Civil Rights Act by President Johnson, many historical events took place to make the bill pass. There were many non-violent supporters of the bill. From events such as the Montgomery bus boycott to Rosa Parks’ refusal to give up her seat in a bus and Martin Luther King Jr.’s â€Å"I Have a Dream† speech. The Civil Rights Act was supposed to be signed by former President Kennedy but his assassination on November 1963, led to Johnson taking over for Kennedy. During the debate of the bill, whether it should be passed or not, there were much opposition to it from both the House ... ...ack Like Me in 1959, which was later made into a movie. The south didn’t take what Griffin wrote about the conditions the African American was facing lightly. They lashed out against Griffin and his family, who lived in Texas. They sent threats to Griffin and his family, they even went as far as burning an effigy of Griffin. It resulted in Griffin and his family moving to Mexico for a few years. I was surprised to find that Griffin was a strong supporter of racial equality, since he grew up in Texas and has lived there most of his life. In the film, Griffin explains how he fought in the Korean War and he tells the doctor, who was helping him get his skin darker, that he was blinded in the war and he regained his sight. During the time he was blinded, Griffin says, â€Å"when your blind there are no color differences and you see things differently and judge differently.†

Is the sickness of Kelly Bates' derived from the contaminated water that Alumina Inc emitted? Although it has been corrected and the company was found compliant to the EPA regulations, the aftermath to the environment may come delayed. Evidence can be use against Alumina by pulling the EPA violation five years ago. It could be contributory but not sufficient enough to establish wrongful conduct from the violator. There was a breach of duty when the company failed to protect the environment and people from getting harmed.To prove that it was the proximate legal cause of the disease, they have to present a medical valuation report and have to establish the truth or validity that the symptoms can be traced back close to the account of when Alumina had the violation. If proven GU lilt of negligence, the acts of the management should be held liable for the tort committed. Based on this serious accusation and company threat, Alumina should maintain a proactive approach to litigation and it would be beneficial for the company to look at establishing a stringent Enterprise Risk Management procedures.The company must understand the organization as a whole, be able to identify the strategic goals. The management must commit to implement the ERM process. There is a need Of ongoing cycle of identification, assessment, monitoring and reporting of possible risks to the management to make a well-informed decision to mitigate the risk. Communication is mostly concentrated in the management but essential to be disseminated to the proper channels translated to the lower levels of the organization.A well-communicated, consistent, efficient risk management process becomes more essential to have a favorable outcome in having an effective ERM. A review and implementation of the policies and procedures is also detrimental to the health of the company to keep as a guideline for the organization. Last but not the least, training and education is a principal aspect to keep employees con current with their skills, knowledge, and abilities.

Essay on Emergency Medical Health

Introduction Unconsciousness (not alert condition) and cardiac arrest are closely related kind of disorders that affect the perfusion of blood in the brain leading to the victim being unresponsive to the external surroundings. Unconsciousness is rapid change of the mental state which involves almost total lack of responsiveness to the environment and people; an example is when a person is in a comatose state. Decrease in blood pressure to the brain and reduction of oxygen supply to the organ can also lead to temporary unconsciousness which is regarded as fainting. The common cause for lost of consciousness is traumatic brain injury, severe poisoning, brain hypoxia, and severe fatigue. Some of the factors that lead to these conditions are acute medical problems such as cardiac, circulatory, respiratory or neurological problems. The unconsciousness condition leads to a fall. The altered state of consciousness i.e. confusion and sleep, should not be confused with the brain medical unconsciousness. O n the other hand, cardiac arrest (cardio pulmonary arrest) is the abrupt stop of normal blood circulation due to the impairment of the heart to contract effectively. The most common cause of the cardiac arrest is the heart attack where there is no blood flow to the heart muscles; this means that there is poor delivery of the oxygen to the body. The close relatedness of the cardiac arrest and unconsciousness is that when there is cardiac arrest, there is inadequacy of oxygen to the brain leading to unconsciousness. The most dangerous thing is that brain injury can occur if the individual doesn’t receive medical intervention within five minutes, when a person shows the symptoms of cardiac arrest, the activation of a rapid E.M.S is vital, the immediate intervention is the cardio-pulmonary resuscitation followed by defibrillation. The most common cause of cardiac arrest is the coronary heart disease. The usual symptoms are loss of pulse, cessation of normal breathing, loss of blo od pressure. Both problems should be treated as medical emergency; the number of call as determined by the paramedics should clearly show the predictability of the medical problems among the citizens. The medical priority dispatch system is one method that can help to determine the priority settings of a health problem. MPDS is a system that is used to draw an appropriate aid to the local medical emergencies. The MPDS characterizes an illness in a spectrum of clinical levels such as the Alpha (A), Bravo (B), Charlie(C), Delta (D), Echo (E) and Omega (O). The causes of these problems are not always apparent with the emergency medical dispatcher during an event of a call. This means that there is detailed caller interrogation and pre-arrival instructions. In a case study of data by the American emergency group showed that the distribution of cardiac arrest and unconsciousness is caused by the â€Å"long fall† fall condition. Falls are conditions that are caused by some acute medical conditio ns or accidents and are one of the major complaints received by the emergency response units.   The emergency medical dispatcher was used to determine the cause and or the nature of the fall. However it was a heavy challenge for the E.M.D. to determine the nature of the fall. Fall is an important condition since it also determines the kind of treatment and the urgency of the response by the emergency medical service. The MPDS characterized the cardiac arrest risks and then unconsciousness condition, the profile was that the overall patients with the unconsciousness condition which was labeled delta-level3 had the highest proportion. The unconsciousness condition was predominantly associated with the cardiac arrest.   The computation of the data was done under the principle of ‘fall’ protocol. The unconsciousness condition was highly linked with the short fall i.e. less than two meters fall. Both the unconsciousness and cardiac arrest falls under the delta group of the MPDS card meaning that the category needs an advanced life support and they are a serious threat to life. Not all the patients with the unconsciousness fall conditions are referred to the hosp ital but the majority of the patient who are â€Å"hot transported† to the hospital are the ones with severe outcome, the falls that are as a result of acute medical conditions. Such kinds of falls that are ‘hot transported’ are not always apparent to the emergency medical dispatcher, so their data are not always obtained since there has been no interrogation during the call. Conclusion MDPS is the most convenient and effective method of providing the medical aid to a patient through prioritizing the actions that are needed to save the situation. It also prioritizes the life of the medical dispatchers or the local bystanders to ensure that they are not at any risks. The process also ensures that there are relevant instructions given to the medical dispatch. The unconsciousness and cardiac arrest almost rate the same in the MDPS card since both of them are classified as delta-3, they mean that they pose the same threat to life.   Though the frequency of a person being unconscious is averagely high than having a heart attack according to the MPDS, heart attack needs an immediate intervention. It’s also highly evident that cardiac arrest can lead to the unconsciousness state, but there are also some other determining factors that lead to mental unconsciousness. The illness are almost related i.e. one can lead to the other as they share some symptoms. Both of t hem can be reversed within 4 to 6 minutes of attack otherwise brain damage can occur, this statement is almost biased to cardiac arrest but when a patient is in prolonged comatose brain damage can be a resultant. The acute medical conditions that cause the falls are not always known by the caller because they precede the fall. This means that the unconsciousness condition will only be determined later via detailed interrogation by the E.M.D References Carolines, N. (2001). Emergency Medical Treatmnt.
