1st Amendment Law of American constitution
Most Americans know the 1st amendment as the amendments in the bill of rights with clauses such freedom of speech, religion, and the press. The 1st amendments encourage one to believe and practice religious principles s/he wishes to do and his right to convey what s/he like. It protects lawyers’ right to publish any information he/she wishes, provide his/her service to anyone s/he wants and questions the government doings especially those that s/he do not like. Most clauses in the 1st amendment law are controversial, however, in many cases the uncertainty deals with how the amendment requires the Americans to go in a given direction.
The first is the establishment clause which forbids the government from creating state religion and from compelling citizens in what they should believe. However, the clause has some controversies. Some citizens consider that whenever there is state involvement, totally, all religious expression must be prohibited in order to fulfill the establishment clause (LII). For instance, a public school basketball team should be banned from praying at a basketball game because the institution is a government funded school. Others argue that the government should allow religious expression in public occasions and premises given the religious nature of Americans. Truly, in some people’s mind, prohibiting expressions of religious belief in this manner is an infringement of the free exercise clause that is part of the first amendment as it requests to control religious expression of Americans (Revolutionary War and Beyond).
The second clause is the free exercise that restricts the congress to regulate somebody’s religious observations. That is the congress cannot direct citizens on how they should practice their religious faith. However, controversy may arise whereby minority religious groups seek to exercise something that is not legal or that the government has a tough interest in regulating. For instance, such behaviors like ritual sacrifice, drug usage and polygamy are outlawed due to a public compelling interest. This signifies that this clause does not provide a free license to anyone to practice any behavior s/he claims is religious (LII).
The next is freedom of speech clause, which restricts the congress from reducing the freedom of speech. This allows Americans to express their concerns about state policies they do not like. It allows them to convey their religious faith. This clause is distorted especially where some citizens insult others they disagree with and using hateful languages. Freedom of speech goes beyond word people speak to expressions that are deployed in communicating ideas. Expressions such as wearing symbols, picketing and flag burning, are protected speech forms (Revolutionary War and Beyond).
Another significant principle is the freedom of the press clause and this clause is believed to have played a crucial role during the revolutionary war. It helped Americans strengthen their views against England and spread concept that justified a break with England. Historically, English had no press freedom at all. All publications were to be reviewed first by the state before publication. Government criticism were subjected to trials and charged with treason. Therefore, every American aspired to have the right to criticize their authority fearlessly as well a to debate other subjects whenever they wish (Revolutionary War and Beyond).
Lastly, is the freedom of assembly clause which goes “congress shall make no law… abridging … the right of the people peaceably to assemble…” this clause guards the rights of Americans to associate peacefully. This right has proved to be significant, for instance, women minorities assembled and petitioned their argument to why women received no fair treatment as compared to their male counterpart (LII).
In conclusion, for Americans effectively enjoy their lives, then all the aforementioned clauses need to exist practically. However, the clauses are controversial forcing the government to protect some rights. This call for law specialists to assist interprets some contradicting clauses.

Myself and university mission
Before explaining about my contribution to the mission, may I state here that the mission of this university was great factor contributing to my choice of this university for my academic pursuit. It completely rhymes with my mission in life, which is to serve humanity, and serve with diligence and sacrifice.
I am a humble person brought out in an environment of Christian values and beliefs. I believe the best approach to life is an approach that is guided by a purpose for living. The foundation of religion in my life has enabled me to look at life from, not only my perspective as an individual, but also the perspective of other people. I believe that in this life, one cannot live alone, that we need other people to supplement our lives. In lieu of this, we must serve other people and live with an attitude of gratitude. Going by the mission of the university, my goal in life identifies with gaining skills, values, knowledge and experience, that will enable me to add value to the lives of other people. Also in line to the mission, promotion of justice in the entire world and our surroundings is a vital part that we should play in our lives. The religious teachings and skills that have been imparted in me all along identify with this part of the mission. I believe that for one to be able to promote and stand for justice, they must be having a driving force that enables them to stand firm in their quest to seeing justice prevail. In consideration of this, I have the foundational basis of a religion that teaches fairness, and the university is also dedicated to teach fairness and justice. My purpose, therefore, is that when I come out of this university, and even as a student, I will be an advocate of its mission, and a promoter of human service and justice.

Jamal, K.N., Naveed, R., Sheraz, A., Anvesha, S., Nicholas, D.M., Anthony, G.H… & Gerry, P.M. (2014). Prevalence an incidence of infarct and microvascular obstruction following different reperfusion therapies in ST-elevated myocardial infarction. Journal of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance, 16(1), 1-21.
This research was prompted by the scarcity of data on the microvascular obstruction (MVO) and infarct size (IS) as relates to the timing and mode of reperfusion therapy. In lieu of this, the authors sought to investigate the extent and prevalence of infarct size and microvascular injury by use of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR), as relates to the mode of perfusion after an acute ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction. The authors involved ninety-four STEMI patients in the study. They measured CMR infarct characteristics in them, for a prolonged period of one and half years. They quantified the angiographic IRA flow using the Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction Scoring system. During the index admission, they performed the CMR on all the patients. Two experienced observers analyzed the CMR images offline and blinded them to patient details. They analyzed their data using independent tests and ANOVA. Their results indicated that the infarct size is smaller in thrombolysis and PPCI groups, as opposed to the patients in the R-PCI and late PCI. MVO prevalence was similar in all groups. They also found that the strongest indicators of MVO and SI are time to perfusion, TIMI-grade post PCI, the ischaemia area at risk and re-perfused patients.

The authors of this article sought to find out the electrocardiographic signs of myocardial infarction, especially in the block of the left bundle branch, which would aid in the early differential diagnosis of myocardial infarction to facilitate faster initiation of therapy. They carried out their research through a review of the literature of the existing documented research about the subject. Their results indicated that, in many patients with left bundle branch block, it is a bit difficult to carry out a differential diagnosis of myocardial infarction. The authors concluded that many patients suffering from myocardial infarction with left bundle branch block are highly likely to be misdiagnosed, or have the diagnosis delayed, affecting the provision of treatment. They recommended that there is a need to define an electrocardiographic criteria that could fasten the ease of a correct diagnosis, in order to start treatment early.
HAVARD MEDICAL SCHOOL. (2014). Heart attack: Men vs. women: for both men and women, cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death. But their risks and symptoms can differ. Harvard Heart Letter, 24(9), 6-8.
This is an informational article about heart disease, in terms of heart block and stroke. The article centers around the differences in heart disease between men and women, especially as concerns the atypical symptomatic differences in women, and also differences in stroke between the two sexes. According to the article, clots usually block arteries in men, while they are highly likely to erode in women. In addition, men are less likely to develop small vessel disease as compared to women. Sudden changes in the shape of the heart are also prevalent in women, as opposed to men. The article advises about being cautious on the causes of heart disease, like infestation with ticks. The groups at risk include athletes, who are less likely to realize heart disease in time because of their good heart functioning. Statistics also show that more women than men suffer stroke. Such occurs due to issues like childbirth, pregnancy and changes in hormones. In essence, both men and women have the opportunity to protect their cardiovascular health by dealing with risks and managing their lifestyles.
