The Titles of Dr. Jekyll in The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
The Titles of Dr. Jekyll in The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde In the novella The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Dr. Jekyll held a number of titles, including M.D., D.C.L., LL.D., and F.R.S. These titles indicate that Dr Jekyll was a well educated in man in both medicine and law. The first title, M.D., stands for doctor of medicine. In the mid 1800's (about the time Jekyll would have been educated), medical students attended medical school for approximately 3-4 years (there was no definite length). Their training was based around "natural philosophy": their studies included anatomy, physiology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, therapeutics, biology, surgery, sociology and philosophy. Along with these subjects, students were encouraged to take courses in Latin and Greek. Exceptional students were encouraged to apply to either Oxford or Cambridge: these two schools were the best that England had to offer and can be compared to America's Harvard University in Boston. Things have changed slightly in the last one hundred years or so. Medical school is at least 4 years long (although many students stay in medical school for 5-6 years). Philosophy is no longer the main focus of medical school. The courses that were considered the most important in the medical school 's curriculum (biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics) are now left to the undergraduate colleges to teach the pre-medical students. After medical school, students of the 1800's only had to take a test, and if they passed, they were free to work at any hospital they chose to study the practical branches of their profession. It is no longer that simple. Once finished with school and certification testing, the student begins a rigorous internship (c... ...entific society to researchers in many different fields, such as art and medicine. Fellows would get together to discuss the "natural philosophy." This society was open to anyone with a natural interest in science until 1847. Since then only those persons who have done original work are invited into the society. Indeed Dr. Jekyll was an extraordinarily smart person. It would have taken an enormous amount of time and energy to accomplish all the titles that a man like himself earned. Works Cited Acronyms, Initalisms and Abbreviations Dictionary. 15th ed. 1991.

Economics Paper - 2167 Words
Economics Paper University of Phoenix ECO365 May 6, 2013 Economics is a tool that we use in our daily lives even if we donââ¬â¢t always realize it. As people we all have things that we want, and things that we need. This includes things like food, clothing, and shelter, but it is not limited to those things. In order to get those things, people have to spend money. The issue is that everything that people need and want costs money. More often than not, people do not have the money to do both so they have to decide which things are important for them to have right now. This does not only apply to families, but businesses as well. This paper will address different types of economics and some of the factors that contribute to its changes.â⬠¦show more contentâ⬠¦Businesses will increase the production of goods and services that cost more money because they will be able to increase their profit margins. In the same way, when prices decrease they will scale back the production of those products because they will not be able to as much of a profit. Companies will always do what is best for them, and the number one reason for them being in business is to make money. What the consumer wants will always dictate they type and price of goods and services that are supplied. When a certain type of product comes out or starts to increase in sales it directly affects the market for that product or service. An example of this is when iPods came out and got very popular. The price of the product was high initially, but they were still selling very well. Apple increased its production because they were able to make greats profits from it. After this happened there was an influx of other mp3 players from a plethora of other electronics companies. Since they had new found competition, Apple was forced to lower the price of the item. Consumers still preferred the iPod over many of the other mp3 players on the market, and because of their presence, the iPod became much more affordable. In economics the law of demand states that à ¢â¬Å"all else equal, as the price of a product increases, a lowerShow MoreRelatedEconomic Analysis of Indian Paper Industry2073 Words à |à 9 PagesON Market Forces: Supply and Demand Understanding trends, drivers, elasticity and revenues (With example of ITC paperboard amp; specialty papers division) BY Indian Paper Industry Structure: * The Indian paper industry accounts for about 2% of the world production of paper amp; paperboard; currently ranks 15th in the world. * Estimated turnover of Rs. 25,000 crore approximately; contribution of about Rs. 2920 crore to the exchequer. * The industry provides employment to more than 0Read MoreEconomic Indicators Paper1521 Words à |à 7 PagesEconomic Indicators Paper What does it mean when someone refers to the health of an economy?
