... to be an artisan, thus his profession was seen as a craft.4 This craft ideology allowed access for untrained artisans to enter the field of surgery. In this paper, I will statistically demonstrate that the medieval English surgeon was threatened by the growing number of untrained practitioners between the years 1350 and 1450. In response to this threat, medieval surgeons attempted to institutionalize their profession. Ironically, the manner in which they defined their practice did not restrict untrained practitioners, but actually increased access for medically untrained artisans. In Medical Practitioners in Medieval England, C. H. Talbot and E. A. Hammond collec ...

... United States Army compiled a superb record for courage and endurance" (Sulzberger, 149). Just because Japanese-Americans were allowed to enter the armed services they did not escape racism.

... see attempts to get back to the "old way" through usage of time saving methods. One benefit of high-tech communications systems is the ability to make previously impossible communications possible. Think of the father and son separated by an ocean, one in England, the other in Newfoundland. This is where the telephone plays a role. It facilitates an almost instantaneous connection at a reasonable cost, and bridges a gap. Fortunately, this is now made possible by satellite systems launched into orbit by a recently developed rocket deployment system. Aside from this, people should attempt to communicate with people in their immediate surroundings more ofte ...

... to their home. In fact, many immigrants are reluctant to become legal. Many harbor hopes and dreams of eventually returning to their friends and family back home. Then there are the distinct few who do not wish to decide, and would like have "dual citizenship." To be loyal to more than one country, to vote in both countries, and to travel back and forth easily (Limon). To understand the affects of immigration one must study the state where it is more rampant. California is a magnet for immigrants. As a result, many claim that immigrants are a great economic burden. California does, however, benefit from its porous borders. The succession of immigrant groups h ...

... today's youth are chaotic and without values, or that it is just a factor of immaturity, which is probably true, but there is more to the issue than purely immaturity. Many things come into play when analyzing the cause of difference in interaction and dialogue such as social standing, self-confidence, and levels of maturity. First, it is important to understand societal perspective; In effect, one must analyze where society has placed a group of people in order to understand why the group's actions vary from everyone else.

... as my subject. II. How does parental pressure influence students in high school? If there is an influence, is it positive or negative? I would like to do research on this because it raised my curiosity. For me personally, I do better in school if I am calm and have little pressure, but there might be students out there at Ramapo High School that think differently. These are some of the things that I will try to find out through this I-Search. III. At the beginning of my search, I had a really hard time finding secondary sources. First, I went to the school library. Since the school library has this computer program called BELS, there was no need to go t ...

... ''they correct past discrimination against women and minorities,'' forgetting the tool that is fighting the past discrimination is discrimination in itself, women continue to be oppressed in America by white males, and other laws and policies that give women more rights than other groups are fair due to women's past oppression. If you even disagree with only one of these issues, you're considered part of the right-wing backlash against the women's movement. Feminists that disagree with this description say that all women are accepted in the feminist movement. But when looking at the leading women's movement groups such as National Organization for Women and Femi ...

The third section will outline findings of research, suggesting that the distinction between social and personal identity has become central to theorising about the self. 1: Part One. that promote minority viewpoints are generally displaced by the majority as social out-groups or as deviant individuals.

... are frightened away by the homeless man living on the corner. It hurts those who have to commute to work via public transportation and must deal with the panhandlers. It hurts those whose homes are burglarized by the homeless man looking for money to feed his family. There is no isolated problem in society and each problem has a ripple effect that eventually hurts everyone. Even if only for selfish reasons, every individual should help to solve the problems of society. A parallel that I can draw to further illustrate my point is the team play of former NBA star Earvin "Magic" Johnson. When asked why he is such a team player, he responded that he was a very selfish m ...
