Since 1784, The Third U.S. Infantry Regiment (also known as The Old Guard) has been proudly serving as a ceremonial symbol for the United States Army.

Both of the historians Richard Stites and Lesley A. Rimmel have views on how the lives of the soviet women were affected after the Bolshevik revolution. Richard Stites argues that the early years of the Bolshevik Revolution helped many working women take the first steps toward emancipation. While reading his argument you see that he uses some key evidence to support his theses. He explains how the church called for a conservative order and how this put more pressure on the women adding additional weight of the male power (Mitchell & Mitchell 176). The Russian feminist movement (1860-1917) and how feminist woman were working for the right of women and not the rights of the peasants or the workers (Mitchell & Mitchell 176). He tells us about the dawn of the twentieth century and how the attention was being focused on the national suffrage issue; this lead for the continued need of a win for women in obtaining property rights, divorce and freedom of movement (Mitchell & Mitchell 177). Stites introduces us to key women such as Alexandra Kollontai, who went against her feminist competitors and the prevailing opinion of the conservative society, which led to the Proletarian Women’s Movement (Mitchell & Mitchell 178). The separation of church and state invalidated all canonical and theological restrictions on the role of women in modern life (180). Stites goes on to support his theses by explaining the life of children and how the role of housekeeping has changed and how men have learned to take on these responsibilities as well and it is no longer solely on the women.…

This paper explores the African American heritage and also identifies the significance of nurses being culturally aware, sensitive and competent when caring for people of African American heritage. Although these terms mentioned above are used interchangeably, they have different meanings. Cultural awareness is appreciating the external or material part of the culture, such as the music, arts, and physical characteristics, and dress. Cultural sensitivity is the personal attitudes toward the culture, such as not saying things that is offensive to someone from a different ethnic or cultural background (Purnell, 2013, p. 4). Cultural competence is putting it all together; by using your knowledge to provide culturally congruent care and to be able to work effectively with people in cross-cultural situations. African Americans are the second largest ethnocultural groups in the United States; however, it is one of the most misunderstood cultures. This culture is so unique because they have mixed their cultures from their different homes of origin in Africa, along with American culture. This paper overviews the history, communications, family roles, workforce issues, biocultural ecology, high-risk behaviors, pregnancy and childbearing practices, spirituality, health care practices, nutrition, and death rituals in the African American culture. It is important that nurses see themselves as becoming culturally competent when caring for African Americans, and this involves incorporating cultural desire, cultural awareness, cultural knowledge, cultural skill, and cultural encounter with the people of African American heritage (Campinha-Bacote, 2009).…
