Cultural relativism in the Poisonwood Bible

In her novel The Poisonwood Bible, Barbara Kingsolver explores this same ethnocentric missionary zeal when critiquing the ways in which Western countries relate to “foreign” countries. She creates an allegory where the Price Family and the Congolese people are a microcosm of the United States and its relations to “foreign” countries. In this allegory, Kingsolver suggests that the attempt of the U.S. to change what it does not understand can be detrimental and unethical – that the attempt to spread an ethical system becomes the most unethical idea of all

Expansion Plans in Iowa Contract Hog Production

Contract hog production has been a growing portion of the pork industry especially during the past few decades. Production contracting involves an agreement between at least two parties. The agreement specifies the division of resources which will be used in hog production. They can vary by type of production, type of contract, and responsibilities of each contracting party. Contractors, who are usually owners of the hogs, generally provide the feeder pigs or breeding stock along with the feed necessary for production. Growers, those working in the production of animals, typically provide the facilities and labor and are compensated for their time and resources involved. Expenses such as veterinary costs or utilities can be paid by the grower,- owner, or shared as contracts vary. Growers are usually compensated or a per head or per pound of gain basis, though other types of agreements do exist

Orthopedic Anti-Plunging with External Cooling Drill System

There are 22 million orthopedic surgeries performed globally each year and this number is expected to increase by approximately 6 million by 2022. Within many of these operations, surgeons are required to utilize orthopedic drills to properly insert various implants to facilitate healing within the body. Unfortunately, many of these procedures have complications that result in thermal osteonecrosis or bone plunging. These complications cause the death of bone cells due to heat and the loosening of an implant from drilling through the entirety of the bone, respectively. To help prevent these detrimental issues, we seek to redesign the orthopedic drilling system by effectively incorporating a cooling channel within the drill bit, as well as sensors to monitor drilling depth. Ultimately, this redesigned system will aid orthopedic surgeons in their procedures while simultaneously reducing the number of complications and potential follow-up operations for patients
