I agree with you on the issue of how the United States continues to develop and help catalyze the growth of insurgent groups such as what happened with the Khmer Rouge. Your position on this is very clear and I would like to add that the situation in Afghanistan, over the last 20 years since September 11, and recently when the US forces withdrew from the country, has likely weakened the country. At present, the act of the US playing global police should be addressed keenly by not just academic bodies but also policy makers in various capacities. I pose this question: Do you think Russia’s activities in Eastern Europe in Chechnya and Ukraine are comparable to What the US has done in Cambodia and most recently in Afghanistan? If yes, will this lead to weakened countries and coups instigated by political groups?
Peer 2
Yes, US bombings on innocent people in Cambodia led to increased hatred for not just the US but also the Cambodian government. I add that the involvement of the government in helping US forces to bomb villages and to drive away political groups, and the later collaboration with the Khmer Rogue on different capacities lead to an uprising. This has been a pattern that the US has used in Iraq, Libya, and in Afghanistan in recent times. History is yet to judge these American policies on foreign nations, yet organizations such as NATO and the United Nations stand by as these senseless murders continue. Is there a way for the United States to be held accountable on account of the murders and its involvement in toppling governments and training rogue groups that later become insurgents?
Research Methods Peer Response
Peer 1: David
I agree with your breakdown of Devah Pager’s research question as an analysis of how criminal records influence a person’s chances of finding a job and how race of the offender affect the process. The variables are stipulated in a way that is understandable and are well explained. I particularly concur with your reasoning regarding why the audit study was necessary. The idea of isolating the variables in order to establish a relationship between them was a central tenet to the study. No other research methodology would fit the situation. Your position on the importance of the findings of the study is a major strength of your analysis. It gives a highlight of what the study intended to unearth and what it actually found it. Further, your research question on the state of racism in the United States is a good icebreaker for future studies and a point of reference for other explorations into the issue of having a criminal record and an attempt to secure a job.
Peer 2: Ivan
I concur with your summarization of Devah Pager’s research question and the inclusion of all of the issues she mentions in her study. Likewise, I agree with your inclusion of job qualification as an independent variable, something I had completely overlooked because I found race and criminal records to be the main independent variables. I agree with your assertion that the probability to be hired is the dependent variable. One of the major strengths of your analysis is how it uses information given by Pager in her research to form the basis of your evaluation. Your summing up of the main findings and what they mean to the American society is refreshing, since it introduces the issue of the criminal justice system and the role that the system plays in ensuring that people with criminal records are safely reintegrated into their societies. The mention of Pager’s recommendation is also important and one that must be explored in the future.
Pediatric Emergency
Pediatric Emergency
Name:
Institution:
Pediatric Emergency
Deaths of children in hospital often occur within the first 24 hours of admission. Most of these deaths are preventable is proper pediatric emergency procedures are followed. The can also be prevented if sick children are identified and appropriate treatment presented to them. Pediatric emergency is a clinical problem since it affects many children and families across the world. Approximately 85 percent of infants who die within 24 hours of being admitted into hospital experience emergency situations and they are not attended to in time. Child mortality is increasingly becoming a medical issue of concern globally. This paper analyzes quality improvement (QI) studies aimed at improving the provision of pediatric emergency services.
