Jason Hendrix is a -year-old senior at the University of Delaware, majoring in economics. While on spring break in Florida, Jason was involved in a onevehicle motorcycle accident. In the accident, Jason was thrown from his bike to the pavement, landing on his back. A police officer witnessed the accident and immediately called for medical assistance. Emergency personnel arrived within minutes, and upon recognizing the seriousness of Jason’s back injury, immobilized his neck and secured him to a rigid board prior to transporting him to the emergency room of the nearest hospital. When he arrived at the hospital, Jason was conscious and complained of pain in his lower back. Upon examination by the emergency room personnel, Jason was found to have numerous abrasions and contusions, and loss of both sensation and motor control of his legs. After he was stabilized, a complete neurological exam was performed to assess and localize Jason’s injury. The neurological exam revealed the following: Jason demonstrated normal or near normal strength in flexing and extending his elbows, extending his wrists, and when flexing his middle finger and abducting his little finger on both hands. However, he exhibited no movement when medical personnel tested his ability to flex his hips, extend his knees, and dorsiflex his ankles. Stretch reflexes involving the biceps, brachioradialis, and triceps muscles were found to be normal, while those involving the patella and ankle were absent. In addition, Jason was found to have normal sensitivity to pin prick and light touch in areas of his body above the level of his inguinal (groin) region, but not below that region of the body.…

Running countries, (Queen Elizabeth of England ) demolishing stereotypes, and obtaining the right to vote are some of the very incredible things that women have accomplished.

Typically, spinal cord injuries result in paralysis or incomplete paralysis of the arms, trunk, legs, or any combination of the three. Depending on the location of the damage, loss of sensation is also possible. The spinal cord and nerves are sheltered in the spinal, or vertebral column, and pass down into the segments of the spinal column. Spinal cord injury distresses the innervation of muscle, therefore, the higher up the level of injury to the spinal cord, the more limited the range of motion of the body. Individuals with spinal cord injuries are mostly indicated to be paraplegics, or tetraplegics (quadriplegics). A paraplegic is an individual that is paralyzed in his/her legs. A quadriplegic experiences paralysis in both the arms and the legs (Auxter, David). “There are 11,000 new cases of spinal cord injury in the United States every year. Fifty-five percent of spinal cord injuries occur among individuals in the 16-to-30-year age range; males outnumber females four to one (Auxter, David, 494).”…
During World War II, thousands of American men left for the war front leaving numerous factory, civil service, and war production jobs behind. In an attempt to temporarily fill the industrial labor shortage, “Rosie the Riveter” was born. Meant to represent the ideal female worker, “Rosie the Riveter”, even today, is considered the most successful advertising campaign in US History. The movie The Life and Times of Rosie the Riveter depicts the differences between men and women in the workforce. Although “Rosie the Riveter” was intended to empower women and increase their opportunities, in reality there was no change in the public attitudes about women and their roles in society.…

A flurry of lively marchers swarmed the streets with swift legs, bedazzled signs, fuchsia hats, and passionate hearts. They longed for equality, change, and tolerance. With every chant, with every cheer, with every clap, and every step, the protesters marched closer to their goal. Once the dust and confetti had settled and the crowds has dispersed, it was realized that a feminist genie hadn't granted these…
