Nursing in the United Kingdom

While on the surface Pinky and Lost Boundaries, make a contentious political statement; in actuality they make a mockery of the idea of egalitarianism. The film Pinky addresses the questionable idea of a mixed race couple and of a black…

Throughout the vast majority of human history, governments have provided a multitude of services, protection and guidance to their citizens. These services have come at some sort of cost to citizens, while others are given (seemingly) freely. However, these services and protections have not always been available to all of a state’s citizens. Much has changed over the years in governments. Most of this change has happened in the last 100 or so years for the United States government. Women’s…

Not only are you not part of the other but they are mutually exclusive meaning that if you are part of one culture, in this instance the black culture, then you cannot be part of the other, mainstream culture.
