If the trait is completely recessive, it has to be inherited from both parents in order to be passed down to the offspring. The BRCA1 mutation seems to be a little more dangerous since it has a greater number of patients and it has taken more lives. It has 89 patients compared to 35 by the BRCA2 mutation and it has taken 16 lives compared to 1 life by the BRCA2 mutation. The BRCA1 mutation has a higher percentage of women who have died than the BRCA2 mutation, 18% from the BRCA1 and 2.8% from the BRCA2 mutation. There are ways to remove cancer from the body, like getting a mastectomy or an oophorectomy.
However the source goes on to criticise the statement saying that it isn’t good for “widowed mother with children, the chronic sick, 400,000 unemployed and millions of pensioners without pensions.” Therefore I can infer that the source doesn’t agree with the statement as it states that there is a clear majority of people who don’t benefit within this time period, mainly the people who are benefitting are from the upper classes. However this is obviously biased as it’s from a labour party manifesto therefore isn’t totally reliable. Source 2 appears to also be against the statement because in the background signs of the source there is hints on how the benefits are for the richer people. For instance “set the TOP people free” showing that the conservatives only care about the upper classes and that at that period in time only they benefit. It also shows that it’s not actually Macmillan saying the speech but the Chancellor of the Exchequer which could represent that it’s him coming up with the ideas, they don’t like him or Macmillan is too afraid to do his own speeches.
There are the most influential in terms of decision making and their responsibilities include trading standards, education, highways and traffic and public transport. There are 62 councillors which each represent 10,000 electors with the ruling party conservatives having 32 councillors. Our local county council is Devon county council with John Hart as the conservative leader of cabinet sine 25th June 2009. Overall the advantages of local government could be that the elected representative council meet their constituent’s needs more than central government could and allows all voters a say in how their town runs. On the other hand, you could argue that it is difficult for any long-range planning and there is no strong, effective political leadership as they may be strangers to local
The economy was still facing an upward struggle and suggested that Obama had failed to deliver on promises made in his campaign. As many Americans still believe the economy was poor with 76% of voters in 2012 believing it was ‘not so good or poor.’ There are a number of key factors that attribute to his failure such as his 47% comment however there are other factors such as the strength of Obama’s campaign and Romney’s
• How to ensure that your own practice is inclusive and respects the beliefs, culture, values and preferences of individuals. Suggested word count: 500 – 700 words One of the hardest things to do is to acknowledge your own prejudice and how they affect how they affect what you do. Prejudices are a result of your own beliefs and values, and may often come into conflict with work situations. We may find we have prejudice against someone with different values and beliefs to our own. Alternatively their culture may require certain behaviours which we find strange.
I believe that racism does operate like a web. An article to support this idea would be Michael O. Emerson’s “Race, Religion, and Color Line (Or Is That the Color Wall?)”. Emerson quoted, “Religion contributes to racial division and inequality, then, in that it increases racial categorization, which is a by-product of congregational segregation” (207). By growing up in a certain area, the majority of American citizens tend to carry out connections with the people they see and share the same beliefs with. It’s going to be hard to overcome this racial segregation if you have grown up with it, but it is something that can be
Diversity has helped me understand and relate to others in many ways. I have learned that diversity has divided us, such as the color of the skin, nationality, and finances. This have divided people in different ways such as different people skin color being a shade light or darker, it also make a difference because of one’s race that a person may be Asian, African American or Caucasian and finances is another issue if someone in a group has more money than the other person than someone will get jealous. In all my friendship relationships these are some of the issues that I was involved with. I have all types of friends and color does not matter to me because we all human, the only difference in my eyesight is the skin colors I became a mature
Ageism is defined as: Prejudice or discrimination on the basis of a person’s age. The elderly have an influence on society just as any other minority in our modern day society. Being that we do live in such a diverse country it would be crazy to think that at least 30 percent of the American population was not that of people over the age of 55. The
According to Collins English Dictionary diversity is the state or quality of being different or varied. To me this means understanding that every person is different in their own way. In the minds of many they see diversity as just racial, but it is more than just the color of the skin. Diversity is also about a person’s religious belief, political beliefs,
The world as we know it is composed of over 7 billion people with a multitude of cultures. A person’s culture is one of the many forms of diversity in the world. Diversity is “the quality or state of having many different forms, types, ideas, etc.” (Merriam-Webster, 2014). Diversity surrounds everyone in multiple aspects of life including the workplace. Diversity within a company can have a positive or negative impact depending on how it is handled among its employees.
