Letter to President Jackson :: writing letters

Dear President Jackson,   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Sir, I have been meaning to write to you recently. I am truly devoted to your beliefs on how to treat our growing nation. Currently, I am a Senator for the State of NJ, and I feel strongly confident that you will lead us to a stronger and better nation.   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  The reason that I have felt the urge to write this letter to you persists to the formation of your spoils system. I am writing this letter to compliment you on your great accomplishment. Your spoils system gives many â€Å"common people† a spot in the national government. Along with you, I believe that this system is more democratic, and it fits our country just right. As you may already know, there have been many critic reviews posing against this system of yours. They believe that many qualified men aren’t getting a fair chance in the government. To reassure you, I believe that you are advancing with the necessary steps needed, and you will prevail amongst our people.   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Mr. Jackson, I would also like to state that I thoroughly agree with this statement of yours, which pronounces, â€Å"The duties of all public officers are†¦so plain and simple that men of intelligence may readily qualify themselves for their performance.† This statement has led me to ask you this question, â€Å"If you like to reward only common people spots in the government, why have kept Van Buren?† If it is possible, please reply to this question and your letter. Besides the question mentioned above, I would like to compliment you once again for a job well done for our democracy.

The Ethics Of The Human Body - 1796 Words

As the home to many deadly creatures, Australia could be considered the most venomous place on the planet. As a result it is also one of the world leaders in research into venom and anti-venom, leading the way towards a future in which venoms may be just as much of a ‘friend’ to humans as they are ‘foe.’ This gives rise to the statement ‘venoms can be both friend and foe for humans,’ which is presently supported by a vast wealth of scientific research and anecdotal evidence. This essay will investigate whether venoms truly can be regarded as ‘both friend and foe,’ through the examination of venom, its effects on homeostasis in the human body and the possible consequences and benefits that could arise from these effects. Homeostasis refers†¦show more content†¦The stimulus response model shown in Figure 1 gives a general sense of the interplay between these components, demonstrating the feedback loop employed in a standard homeostatic response. Figure 1 Homeostasis is typically achieved through the process of negative feedback, in which any deviation from the steady state is detected by the receptor, activating mechanisms that counteract the change. Positive feedback is another type of feedback, however it enhances the original stimulus rather than reducing it and can cause potentially damaging effects for the organism (Saladin, n.d.). Negative feedback is therefore the more common mechanism of feedback regulation.The endocrine system, for example, is particularly vital in homeostasis as it releases hormones that control the activity of the body’s cells, and, through feedback regulation, is able to initiate a response that regulates the development and metabolism of most body systems and cells. Homeostasis can be altered by external influences such as nutrition, psychological health, physical health and toxins. Venoms contain toxins that affect homeostasis by targeting vital body systems, necessitating effective homeostatic r egulation in order to stabilise the body’s internal environment so as to avert the potential destruction of an entire system, which would shortly lead to death (Biozine, 2012).
