History

Answer:

William Kamkwamba was Malawi, a country born in where magic ruled and modern science was mystery. It was also a land withered by drought and hunger, and a place where hope and opportunity were hard to find. But William had read about windmills in a book called Using Energy, and he dreamed of building one that would bring electricity and water to his village and change his life and the lives of those around him.

William had a goal to study science in Malawi's top boarding schools. But in 2002, his country was stricken with a famine that left his family's farm devastated and his parents destitute. Unable to pay the eighty-dollar-a-year tuition for his education, William was forced to drop out and help his family forage for food as thousands across the country starved and died.

Yet William refused to let go of his dreams. Using scrap metal, tractor parts, and bicycle halves, William forged a crude yet operable windmill.

The correct answer is "Accusations of bribery against the Grant Administration."

This can be the only correct answer, as the first, second, and fourth statements are incorrect.

 Even though Grant (a Republican) won the election of 1868, he actually helped with Reconstruction. Grant sent in federal troops to help protect the rights of African-Americans in the Southern states. This shows that the first two statements are incorrect.

The fourth statement cannot be correct, as it was the Democratic party who lead attacks against the voting rights of African-Americans during Reconstruction.

This shows that only the second one can be correct.

Answer:

The biopsychosocial model has been described both as a philosophy of clinical care and a guide for clinical practice. It proposes that suffering, disease, or illness involve a host of factors from biological (tissues, structures, molecules) to environmental (social, psychological). Each of these factors affect a patient’s subjective experience, clinical outcomes, and effective treatment throughout the treatment process or course of a disease. This approach to providing care takes into account the physical, psychological, and social factors of the disease or injury and promotes an integrated approach to treatment. It has become a rather popular and regularly studied topic over the past several years.

It would seem apparent, especially in instances of chronic pain, that a simple explanation like “arthritis” can not adequately explain what is truly going on with that particular patient. While there very well may be biomechanical and physical issues like joint degeneration, to simplify a patient’s suffering or pain to this one diagnosis seems misguided. And what about patients who are experiencing real debilitating pain, but have no physical or biomechanical issues that can explain it? Are these patients simply “making it up”? Is it “all in their head”?
