    The oil/energy industry is one of the largest industries in the United States. According to the Department of Energy (DOE), fossil fuels (including co4tral, oil and natural gas) makes up more than 85% of the energy consumed in the U.S. as of 2008. Oil supplies 40% of U.S. energy needs (DOE, 2014). There are two major sectors within the oil industry, upstream and downstream. Upstream is the process of extracting the oil and refining it. Downstream is the commercial side of the business, such as gas stations or the delivery of oil for heat. Oilfield service companies assist the drilling companies in setting up oil and gas wells. In general, these companies manufacture, repair and maintain equipment used in oil extraction and transport. More specifically, these services can include: Seismic Testing which involves mapping the geological structure beneath the surface; Transport Services is operative given both land and water rigs need to be moved around at some point in time; Directional Services becomes relevant because not all oil wells are not drilled straight down, some oil services companies specialize in drilling angled or horizontal holes. The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) is an intergovernmental organization dedicated to the stability and prosperity of the petroleum market. OPEC has 11 member countries. The world's top exporters of petroleum are Saudi Arabia…

    In this quote, Chief Bromden says, “I been silent so long it’s going to roar out of me like floodwaters and you think the guy telling this is ranting and raving my God; you think this is too horrible to have really happened, this is too awful to be the truth! But, please. It’s still hard for me to have a clear mind thinking on it. But it’s the truth even if it didn’t happen.”(Act 1 32) Chief Bromden, a long-term patient in Nurse Ratcheds psychiatric ward, narrates the events of the novel. The novel begins as he awakes to a typical day on the ward, feeling paranoid about the nighttime activities of the wards three black aides. We are given this brainteaser from chief Bromden. The reader has already gotten a glimpse of Bromden’s paranoia, from the novels opening lines, as well as a sense that he is not seeing things from an everyday perspective. For example, Bromden describes Nurse Ratched transforming into a huge machine, and he has to be sedated when the aides try to shave him and he starts screaming, “Air Raid”. In this story, he claims himself not only the narrator, but the author. He has an important story to tell, even though it’s going to be hard for him. The last line of this quote is Bromden’s request that the reader have an open mind. His hallucinations imply that the audience shouldn’t believe everything he says in the novel. In my opinion, I believe that Bromden regains sanity, but he still witnesses many events while he is hallucinating.…

    Economic trends in the human services field has been very critical to how clients receives treatment that is so necessary for their well being and how human service providers meet the growing needs of clients everywhere. Due to economic hardships, the client suffers because, quality care becomes unavailable, and with an economic crisis, most funding to the human services field are cut and this leaves the clients with hardships and less availability to the services they so need. The economic trend has to do with the funding that is available to the clients and a decision on who those clients are and how they are going to receive that funding for services. The trends in economic situations involve a variety of situations that will definitely need the assistance of human services professionals. It depends on the direction the economy is moving, to determine the direction treatment is going to take.

    Even 100 years ago, writers and people have confronted issues that still remain today. In this essay by one of the writers from The Atlantic Monthly, he utilizes the use of an analogy, strong and even diction, and uses strong facts to support his ideas on what he thinks of the arguments and ideas which existed during the time period of his life, which still don't really contain any validity due to our complex society in which we now live in.…

    There are many poets out there that I enjoy reading. Heinrich Heine would have to be one of them. All of him poems are considered among the best in German literature. Not only do I consider his writings remarkable, he is thought this way by many. You can tell by his writings that his career is in the later Romantic Movement and the era of the socially and politically conscious movement. His writings as well as his exile from Germany demonstrates his lifelong search for personal and national identity. His back ground is definitely noticeable through his writings. His education background included training in both Hebrew and Jesuit schools. They say that his double disappointment in life was the theme for many of his early writings.…
