Why are we bent on forcing upon them a civilization not suited to them and which only means in their view degradation and a loss of self-respect, which is worse than the loss of life itself?

“The White Man’s Burden: The United States and the Philippine Islands” was first published in The Times (London) on 4 February 1899, and in The New York Sun on 5 February 1899.^[6] On 7 February 1899, during senatorial debate to decide if the U.S. should retain control of the Philippine Islands and the ten million Filipinos conquered from the Spanish Empire, Senator Benjamin Tillman read aloud the first, the fourth, and the fifth stanzas of Kipling’s seven-stanza poem as arguments against ratification of the Treaty of Paris and in favor of the US formally renouncing claim of authority over the Philippine Islands. To that effect, Senator Tillman addressed the matter to President William McKinley:^[7]

As though coming at the most opportune time possible, you might say just before the treaty reached the Senate, or about the time it was sent to us, there appeared in one of our magazines a poem by Rudyard Kipling, the greatest poet of England at this time. This poem, unique, and in some places too deep for me, is a prophecy. I do not imagine that in the history of human events any poet has ever felt inspired so clearly to portray our danger and our duty. It is called “The White Man’s Burden.” With the permission of Senators I will read a stanza, and I beg Senators to listen to it, for it is well worth their attention. This man has lived in the Indies. In fact, he is a citizen of the world, and has been all over it, and knows whereof he speaks.^[8]

He quotes, inter alia, stanzas 1, 4, and 5 of “The White Man’s Burden”, noting:

Those [Filipino] peoples are not suited to our institutions. They are not ready for liberty as we understand it. They do not want it. Why are we bent on forcing upon them a civilization not suited to them and which only means in their view degradation and a loss of self-respect, which is worse than the loss of life itself?^[8]

Senator Tillman’s eloquence was unpersuasive, and the U.S. Congress ratified the Treaty of Paris on 11 February 1899, formally ending the Spanish–American War. After paying a post-war indemnification of twenty million dollars to the Kingdom of Spain, on 11 April 1899 the US established geopolitical hegemony upon islands and peoples in two oceans and in two hemispheres: the Philippine Islands and Guam in the Pacific Ocean,^[9]^[6] and Cuba and Puerto Rico in the Atlantic Ocean.^[10]

Based on Nightingale’s work, identify specific interventions that you would provide in caring for this patient.

You are caring for an 82-year-old woman who has been hospitalized for several weeks for burns that she sustained on her lower legs during a cooking accident. Before the time of her admission, she lived alone in a small apartment. The patient reported on admission that she has no surviving family. Her support system appears to be other elders who live in her neighborhood. Because of transportation difficulties, most of them are unable to visit frequently. One of her neighbors has reported that she is caring for the patient’s dog, a Yorkshire terrier. As you care for this woman, she begs you to let her friend bring her dog to the hospital. She says that none of the other nurses have listened to her about such a visit. As she asks you about this, she begins to cry and tells you that they have never been separated. You recall that the staff discussed their concern about this woman’s well-being during report that morning. They said that she has been eating very little and seems to be depressed.

1. Based on Nightingale’s work, identify specific interventions that you would provide in caring for this patient.

2. Describe what action, if any, you would take regarding the patient’s request to see her dog. Discuss the theoretical basis of your decision and action based on your understanding of Nightingale’s work.

3. Describe and discuss what nursing diagnoses you would make and what interventions you would initiate to address the patient’s nutritional status and emotional well-being.

4. As the patient’s primary nurse, identify and discuss the planning you would undertake regarding her discharge from the hospital. Identify members of the discharge team and their roles in this process. Describe how you would advocate for the patient based on Nightingale’s observations and descriptions of the role of the nurse.

Provide a brief description of the scenario.

Decision making is a critical component to programming, no matter the language. Just as decisions in your day to day life can change the outcome of real life scenarios, we can use similar decision making structures to change the flow of our applications to respond to events or provide different output. The lecture provided an example of a GPS system using decision making to determine the best route to avoid traffic. That example had 2 main branches – if traffic is backed up on the express way, continue on rd, otherwise enter expressway. Consider a real-world example of where decision making can be applied to answer the following. Depending on your scenario, a program with the appropriate inputs / sensors could make these decisions and execute the actions automatically!

Provide a brief description of the scenario.
Explain whether the decision branches are complex or simple and how many “branches” are there.
Describe the result or action of at least two branches

You stop a vehicle for running a stop sign. When you walk up to the car you smell a strong odor of alcohol emanating from the inside of the car. The driver is a female about 30 years old. Her speech is slurred, her eyes or bloodshot. You see a spilled beer laying on the floorboard of the car. There is a small child in a car seat in the back of the car. You ask the woman to step out of the car. She refuses and tells you, you will have to drag her out of the car. Was your stop based on probable cause or reasonable suspicion?
