Paul Bogard gradually builds the essay with details and a variety of claims which help the argument be established and analyzed in different perspectives. His knowledge of the subject helped the audience gain an idea of his perspective and an overall concept on why natural darkness can be though of as a benefit to us. He uses the aspect of health to support his claim for instance, how the "American Medical Association" "has voiced its support for light pollution reduction efforts".

    1949 Words  | 4 Pages

    Healthcare in the United States is an extremely often discussed topic on whether it is morally a right or just a charity to those who cannot afford it. Plenty claim that health care is too expensive and not affordable so they demand aid from the government. On the other hand, the rest presume that the state is not morally accountable to take this type of action, since not every citizen and human being is equally eligible to receive the same healthcare.

    “The sky, without a speck, was a benign immensity of unstained light” (Conrad 2). By using wording such as “benign” and “unstained”, it paints a picture in one’s mind of a kindly, pure environment. Since the story begins here, it seems as though the tale has begun in the light, and accordingly, honesty, and as the day progresses will descend into darkness and thus falsehood. As Marlow begins to speak, he contemplates the history of the land around him. “Light came out of this river since-you say knights? Yes; but it is like a running blaze on a plain, like a flash of lightning in the clouds. We live in the flicker-may it last as long as the old earth keeps rolling! But darkness was here yesterday” (Conrad 3). He speaks of our world as a “flicker”, a twinkle in the “darkness” that was present before our civilization arose. T...

In relating her theory to the nursing paradigm, it is important to understand that Newman believes “that we cannot isolate, manipulate, and control variables in order to understand the whole of a phenomenon” (Harris, 2009, p. 220). Her theory emphasizes the whole of the experience of the person who is the patient.
