Understanding the Nguyen Family: A Case Study Analysis
Nguyen Family
Nguyen Van Son has worked very hard since he came to this country with his uncle 12 years ago. After graduating from high school near the top of his class, he completed mechanical drafting course at a technical college. He has a good job working for a manufacturing company. His wife Dang Van Binh, an old family friend, came from Vietnam only six years ago and they were married soon after. Her English is still not good, so she takes evening classes. Their three year old son Nguyen Thi Hoang goes to a half-day preschool program because his father is eager for him to become comfortable speaking English with other children. Their baby daughter Le Thi Tuyet is at home with her mother. On weekends, the family spends time with other Vietnamese families, eager for companionship and preserving their memories of Vietnam. None of their neighbors talk much with this family, assuming they cannot speak English.

The Transformation of Femininity in the Homeric Hymn to Demeter
The homeric hymn to Demeter offers us in the present insight into the lives of women and girls in ancient Greek life. Girlhood, womanhood and motherhood are all represented through the Hymn. In this essay I am interested in exploring the ways the Hymn delves into the nature of feminine life in ancient Greece through the transformation of the characters Demeter and Persephone. Analyzing the transitions of women in the “Hymn to Demeter” provides a rich avenue for exploring themes of femininity, power dynamics, and the cyclical nature of life.
This is a 5-7 page philosophy thesis on a Greek tragedy. Must use direct quotes from the text, Hymn to Demeter and Helen P Foley’s The homeric hymn to Demeter: Translation, commentary, and interpretive essays.

Ethical Considerations in Triage during Disasters: Balancing Limited Resources and Maximizing Survival
As the world progresses into the twenty-first century, one aspect of health care – disaster planning – requires urgent attention. Not only does each year bring killer tornadoes, hurricanes, blizzards, floods, wildfires, the threat of spreading disease continues to loom. Health care practitioners are on the front lines during any disaster, and the logistical and ethical concerns associated with caring for populations during these events fall heavily on their shoulders. If all assigned health care practitioners can’t report for duty, who will take charge? Should triage (an assessment of which of the injured should receive treatment first) proceed as in normal times, and who will be responsible for deciding? Will nurses be expected to perform as surgeons, technicians as pharmacists, or aids as nurses?
In your opinion, would it be ethical, in case of a disaster, for triage personnel to recommend treating only those injured individuals who could recover? Defend your answer.
