Mornings in Jenin is about how the Palestinians were made to suffer by the Israelis such as one instance where a death is caused unfairly.

On this gate, the following words are inscribed, "Through me the way is to the city dolent; / Through me the way is to eternal dole; / Through me the way among the people lost. / Justice incited my sublime Creator; / Created me divine Omnipotence" (Dante III 1-5)
. And with ambitious aim / Against the throne and monarchy of God / Raised impious war in Heav'n and battle proud / With vain attempt" (Milton I 41-44)

Can anyone forget the relates the trials of Job, a devout man of God, at the hands of Satan, and his theological discussions with various characters on the nature of suffering and the relationship between God and Mankind? The poem attempts to address a basic problem for humanity -- the problem of good vs. evil -- how one should reconcile the existence of evil/suffering in a world of goodness created by God (Janzen, 1985)
In the modern developed world, death is feared and those who are dying are often institutionalized and removed from general society, often rather than allowing one to die with dignity everything "possible" even if uncomfortable and invasive is done to keep the loved one alive -- not for the patient, but for the living. Elizabeth Kubler-Ross believes the opposite, that grief and loss are transformative and that a person's stage of dying is a natural outgrowth of life (Kubler-Ross, 2007) Kubler-Ross' theory was developed as a response to the view that death and dying were processes to be feared and hidden within modern society
Satan challenges God to test Job, and God accepts. Here, we see Satan prodding the Lord, who is supposed to be almighty and knowledgeable about everything, into testing one of his faithful servants for no reason other than to prove his loyalty (Mitchell, 1994)
Once we are at peace with the idea of embracing the cycle of life, we can understand that our roles as healthcare professionals can act in many ways to calm the patient and family and help them understand that there is a spiritual nature to healthcare as well. Thus, the role of the modern nurse within the Health Psychology Model of care has three key objectives: 1) to provide adequate and holistic care for the patient, 2) to provide communication and advocate solutions for the patient, and 3) to balance the necessary structure of cost control and ethics when dealing with modern issues in healthcare (Schroeter, 2000)

(24) We see this in the poet's recollection. As he walks the streets, he sees "marks of weakness, marks of woe" (Blake 4) on the faces of those around him
Here we see entrepreneurs at work while the "weak and woeful state of Londoners comes through their faces" (Pagliaro). Harold Bloom makes a critical point about Blake when he says that he is a "poet in whom the larger apocalyptic impulse always contains the political as a single element in a more complex vision" (Bloom)
. revolves around the institutions of Church, Law, property, generational inheritance and marriage" (Esterhammer 23), writes Esterhammer
Social and religious matters weight the city down rather than create an atmosphere of building up the individual. Roy Graves points out how the poem is a "dark social commentary" (Graves), focusing on the misery of the people to prove his points
Each baby represents another human life that was headed toward suffering and oppression. Stephen Lambert notes that the "Church is simultaneously a blackener and self-blackening" (Lambert)
The poem is as mental as it is physical. Harold Pagliaro maintains the poem represents "powerful overflow of inner state into outer world" (Pagliaro
In the last scene, the poet attempts to show us the fear he experienced when he heard the baby cry. Martin Price states the "visible stain has become a virulent infection, and its power is caught in the terrible poetic condensation that sees the marriage coach as already a hearse" (Price)
The Blues and Vision Quest You gotta pay the dues if you wanna sing the blues," so the saying goes. (Whitney) Orphaned at a young age, growing up in a racist and anti-feminist era, Bessie Smith definitely paid her dues
Several medical studies have been conducted regarding bipolar disorder due to the increasing claims that bipolar individuals are not likely to engage in criminal activities. On the contrary, other researches as well as legal institutions argue that bipolar individuals are able to commit violence are not legally insane (Belfrage, 1998)
Nevertheless, the study had mixed results; first, bipolar individuals engaged in more violence than non-bipolar people with the degree of violence increasing due to drug dependency. On the contrary, unaffected siblings of bipolar patients have elevated likelihood of engaging in crime, a factor that shows that genetics can increase violence among unaffected individuals in families with bipolar disorder (Fazel, Lichtenstein, Grann, Goodwin, & Langstrom, 2010)
