But for some reason, in healthcare, technology has the opposite effect; it doesn't cut costs, it raises them. In fact, medical technologies -- from CT scans to stents to biologics -- are a significant factor in the 10% annual growth rate of healthcare spending, a rate that's nearly triple the pace of inflation" (Goetz 2010)
The real reason Goetz calls for greater transparency and small-scale personal monitoring technology is because he wants a healthcare marketplace where the individual can see him or herself in complete control: along the lines of the Republicans who emphasize the ability to be able to buy healthcare plans (often inferior ones) across state lines as a kind of personal, free market 'choice' in a supposedly competitive market results in lower costs. But "from a consumer protection point-of-view, the result of allowing sales across state lines would be that the state with the least restrictive regulatory scheme would have an advantage and could undercut all the others, and you would have a race to the bottom" (Herszhenhorn 2010)
The primary ethical value, or ethos, behind his essay is that of using technology to make medicine a 'DYI' effort. Facilitating personal choice rather than improving the provision of care is touted as the most moral and effective goal of reform efforts (Janhaur 2010)
Although he does not state so explicitly, given the pathos or emotional resistance to rationing mammography, he believes that technology must be deployed more judiciously, to keep costs from spiraling out of control. Yet even a "government-appointed task force on screening mammography was explicitly forbidden to consider the costs of offering mammograms to women for whom the benefit is very small" (Kolata 2010)
"What we recognize as modern medicine…began in the 1920s. That's when doctors and hospitals, having only during the previous decade learned enough about disease that they could be reliably helpful in treating sick people, began charging more than most individuals could easily pay" (Noah 2007)
How does it feel to go to school when children dress in 'fake' Indian clothing and are encouraged to give tomahawk chops in celebration of the Atlanta Braves? The child will inevitably have a negative and cartoonish sense of his own culture which inevitably affects his sense of self. Why should a Native American's culture serve as a white person's mascot without his consent? "That father should be forgiven for not wanting his family to serve as somebody's mascot" Estrada notes in the poignant anecdote he chronicles (Estrada 1)
This seems to indicate that Louise Mallard's own epiphany, upon learning of her husband's death, is not only "too subtle and elusive to name," it is probably also something that should not be spoken -- something transgressive. Bert Bender connects Louise's agonies to a larger strain in Chopin's fiction at the time, which reflected Chopin's "growing sense that love might be nothing more than sexual desire, and that it is inconstant" (Bender 200)
In his survey of the nineteenth century American novel, Gregg Crane notes that in The Awakening "Chopin convincingly dramatizes how an unnameable and relatively faint discontent grows into a very real emotional disturbance and eventually leads not only to actions and decisions contrary to established arrangements and social customs, but also to catastrophe and death." (Crane 166-7)
Kate Chopin, "The Story of an Hour" Kate Chopin's 1894 short story "The Story of An Hour" depicts a major event in a minimalist fashion -- most of the action of the tale takes place in the mind of the protagonist, Louise Mallard. The story fits well with modern summaries of Chopin's achievement in longer fiction: her well-known novel The Awakening, published five years after "The Story of An Hour," would revisit many of the same themes depicted in the earlier story, but will dramatize them in large broad colorful strokes, endeavoring accurately to depict the vanishing world of Creole New Orleans at the same time as they depict, in Martha Cutter's words, "stronger, less conventional female characters" (Cutter 34)
He does this with the help of facts, which are presented in easy-to-grasp manner. Chomsky tells us that, these facts as, important as they are to us, are usually ignored by the government as "boring, stale stuff" (Chomsky 18)
In Communication and researches the sociological attributes of mass media communicators. The article presents a multitude of scientific research, including detailed "survey data for a cross-media comparison between newspaper photo editors and television news directors to assess the ethical response to digital image processing and enhancement technology," to support the contention "that television news directors tend toward less strict ethical standards in application of the technology" (Gladney and Ehrlich 496)

The trailer uses ethos to demonstrate that the characters are relatable to the targeted demographic, which makes it easier to establish the pathos that drives the trailer. Ethos refers to character, and, in a movie, refers to how that character would be interpreted by an audience (Edlund)
Bush: "We're helping to enhance the size, capabilities, and effectiveness of the Iraqi security forces so the Iraqis can take over the defense of their own country. We're helping the Iraqis take back their neighborhoods from extremists" (Finkel 83)
As explained in a book concerning pedagogy and horror, "…the fear response is an initial fear of awareness or knowledge of counter hegemony, which is followed by a temporary refusal of that knowledge. This process, taking up of a potentially terrifying idea as long as necessary…" (Ahmad and Moreland 53) The Monster helps burn out that common fear response
"As a vehicle of prohibition, the monster most often arises to enforce the laws of exogamy and the decrees against interracial sexual mingling." (Cohen 15) The Werewolf for instance, is what happens when a wolf bites the flesh of man and thus becomes a monster
"The monstrous, then is directly related to queer; but while all that is queer may be monstrous, we cannot yet say that all that is monstrous is queer (although the circumstantial evidence is abundant)." (Jarman-Ivens 133) Homosexuality, as mentioned in this thesis, is considered by some as monstrous
The monster's body quite literally incorporates fear, desire, anxiety, and fantasy (ataractic or incendiary), giving them life and an uncanny independence." (Picart and Browning 15) The body of the culture is domination, aggressive competition, gender inequality, and hierarchies of power
Recitatif Toni Morrison's short story Recitatif is about race relations and how they impact two girls as they grow up during the racially volatile mid-20th century (Mays, 2014)
" The author, Jeffrey Masson, was once the head of Sigmund Freud Archives, and had once said that Freud covered cases of child abuse for the purpose of backing his "seduction" theory -- that the patients had wanted to be seduced as children. Ever since, Jeffrey Masson has been revealing cases of abuse, including those featured in studies and animal abuse by man (Cohu, 2004)
