In the U.S., experts estimate that about seven in every 1,000 newborns suffer a significant, traumatic birth injury each year due to medical malpractice. Those injuries include, but are not limited to, autism, cerebral palsy, as well as Erb's palsy. According to Donald H. Beskind, a professor at Duke University School of Law, juries are typically influenced by three main factors when deliberating on malpractice cases: the degree to which it is clear who was at fault for the negligence, what money would do to improve the plaintiffs' quality of life, and…

    Migration has been a global issue for a long time, bringing global social inequality, lack of resources especially ones that are caused by climate change, conflict, and natural disasters. In the book ‘Exodus’ written by Paul Collier, a British economics professor at University of Oxford, talks about immigration and the impacts of it (especially on the poor people). Collier talks about the diaspora networks facilitate new immigration and the aspects based on how it affects the poor people.

Furthermore, because of the book ‘Exodus,’ Collier gets criticized about his opinion and recommendation of immigration.…

    Economic life of the West was transformed by the industrialization, which began in England in the eighteenth century. At the beginning of the eighteen hundreds it spread to Western Europe, and by the end of the nineteenth century it had touched most of Western civilization. This period was characterized by economic growth, the factory system of production, and the use of new, artificially powered machines for transportation and mechanical operations.

    Migration has contributed to the richness in diversity of cultures, ethnicities and races in developed countries. However, individuals who migrate experience multiple stresses that can impact their mental well-being, including the loss of cultural norms, religious customs, and social support systems, adjustment to a new culture and changes in identity and concept of self. “Migration is defined as any permanent change in residence. It involves the ‘detachment from the organization of actives at one place and the movement of the total round of activities to another” (Drachman, Kwon-Ahn, Paulino, 1996, p. 627).Many influences can determine migration and why people migrate to where they do. One important theory that contributes to this idea of migration is the push-pull theory. The push-pull theory says that some people move because they are pushed out of their former location, whereas others move because they have been pulled, or attracted, to another location. “Push factors are generally negative, such as poor economic conditions, lack of opportunity, discrimination, political oppression, and war. Whereas pull factors are generally positive, such as better economic opportunity, political freedom, and favorable reception toward immigrants” (Potocky-Tripodi, 2002, p. 13).…

    According to the statistics, some European countries including Germany, France, and United Kingdom have international migrants as more than 10 percent of total population (UN, 2013). In 2013, the number of international migrants reached an all-time high rate of 232 million which, at the same time, raises the higher possibility of diverse conflicts between the immigrants and the natives (ibid, 2013). The term, immigration, has been applied to situations where a person moves to a different country for the purpose of permanent stay (Anon., 2012).Considering aforementioned facts, it can be easily recognized that the issue of immigration is not something only for particular countries but for a wider range of countries that needs to be dealt with…
