Circe described Skylla and Charybdis to Odysseus:

Skylla is a sea monster with six heads which eats men, and Charybdis is a whirlpool that absorbs the sea and belches it back out three times a day.

Circe advises Odysseus to sorround the cliff of Skylla and sacrifice six men instead of running the risk of losing his entire ship to Charybdis. Also, he should move as quickly as possible and avoid fighting her.

Odysseus is in doubt, since he would rather not lose any men, but Circle tells him not to tell his crew. He ruefully decides to go on with the mission, and assumes this loss is a neccesary evil. However, he could have told his men, priorizing honesty above everything, and perhaps they would have carried on and died with honor. His decision can be taken as one of a leader, justifying his actions for the sake of his duty, or as one of an individual who selfishly wants to save himself.

How to write any essay for the movie miss evers boys
Wewaii [24]

In the film Miss Evers' Boys, several of the now-existing APA guidelines are violated to the extreme. The movie, which illustrates the Tuskegee Study conducted by a group of southern doctors in 1932, tells the story of a group of African-American men who are being unknowingly studied to see if untreated syphilis reacts the same way in African-Americans that it does in white men. At first, treatment is given to them but once the funds for the study are cut and treatment is no longer made available for 14,000 men, the study goes on without them knowing they have stopped receiving medicine. Miss Evers is told that once the government realizes they have continued the study, they will likely re-obtain funds within a year but the study goes on for ten additional years without treatment. The affected men are simply given placebos and then observed. They are also given spinal taps (which are referred to as "back shots" so the men will think they are part of the treatment.) Even though penicillin becomes available, they are refused administration of such because of a rumor that it could kill them and the fact that the doctors do not want the results of the study being tampered with. Most of the men die, and some go crazy; very few are left alive at the end of a ten-year period. The end result is that yes, untreated syphilis affects both African-Americans and whites alike.  

Today, the APA has many guidelines which would prevent The Tuskegee Study or anything like it from ever taking place again. In chapter 8 of the APA Ethics Code, 8.07 deals with deception in research, which is mainly what made the Tuskegee Study so unethical.  

Part A states that "Psychologists do not conduct a study involving deception unless they have determined that the use of deceptive techniques is justified by the study's significant prospective scientific, educational, or applied value and that effective nondeceptive alternative procedures are not feasible." The doctors conducting the Tuskegee...

How are conjunctive adverb and subordinate adverbs difference
inysia [295]
Conjunctive adverb is an adverb or adverbial phrase that indicates a relation in meaning between two sequential independent clauses (or main clauses). It is also called a conjunct, a transitional conjunction, or a cohesive conjunction.

subordinate adverbial clauses function within sentences as adverbs. Just as most adjective clauses begin with a relative pronoun, adverb clauses always begin with a subordinating conjunction (after, before, unless, although, when, while, as soon as, as long as, as if, where etc) marking them as grammatically subordinate
