Doctor Welton, who was his new doctor and had been seeing him for about two years now said “well I am going to have to evaluate you to get to the real cause of the problem”. Before starting the evaluation John gave doctor Welton all that he had been experiencing up until this point, including the mysteriously painful bump on his knee. After the doctor checked his blood pressure, checked his ears, and throat he did a skin analysis oh John and his knee bump. The doctor said “well John, I believe you have a staph infection”. John asked “what is a staph infection”? Doctor Welton went on to describe it as Staph infection, being a bacteria known medically as Staphylococcus that is present on most human skin. He went on to say that Staph can be activated by minor cuts, abrasions, burns, skin to skin contact with someone who has it, sharing razors, and dirty uniforms of any sort. When he heard dirty uniforms John started to remember that he had forgotten to wash hid football pants for like a week and a half straight and maybe that what caused the staph to to break out how it did.

During the Of Mice and Men debate, it considered the following case: George Milton’s decision to shoot Lennie Small was morally justified. Before the trial started, I voted for the motion because I agreed that it was right to kill Lennie. I chose to side with the proposition team because of several reasons. First of all, I placed myself in George’s feet, the killer of Lennie, and thought about what I would’ve done in his situation. I concluded that I would’ve done the same exact thing as he did.

He wanted what was best for Lennie and chose the best idea available at the time, which was unfortunately to shoot Lennie in the back of the head. If he didn’t allow Lennie a peaceful death,
It is never enough to create a great product; it has to be coupled with a desire for that product. The competitive advantage that Wedgwood brought to his company was the ability to create demand for goods. He was able to see the needs of the market before the market did and then cultivating market demand to satisfy those needs with his goods. A differentiation strategy was put into place by Wedgwood for his products as there were already a number of pottery options available on the market. Instead of the low quality, irregular options that were available on the market, Wedgwood’s pottery was made from clay, rather than wood, and was a more uniform finished product. A method of increasing demand by raising the perceived value of the pottery is to drive up demand by the high affluent. One of the ways that he accomplished this was through a technique called inertia selling. By putting a high quality and reputable product in the hands of the elite with no penalty, Wedgwood can display first-hand his high-end craftsmanship and design. With the working class working in the homes of...

A 17-year old patient came into the emergency room with a severe headache, vomiting, and a stiff neck with pain running up his back. During the physical examination, the patient vital signs revealed a temperature of 101F and he seemed to have a hard time concentrating regarding the questions being asked by the attending nurse; also I noticed the patient had several areas of small purplish spots on the skin of his back, thigh, and arm.
