Accidents have been the leading cause of death in the United States military for the past two decades. The purpose of this research paper is to analyze the main causes of accidental deaths in the U.S. military, what has been done in an effort to stop these from occurring, and any underlying factors that may have led to these preventable deaths. The information for this research paper was obtained via scientific articles, literature reviews, and government hearings. The results show that the majority of accidental deaths are due to factors such as inefficient training, neglected equipment, and lack of mental health. In conclusion, the U.S. military needs to invest more of its resources into promoting soldier health and safety.

Various forms of media have contributed to and shaped negative perception of immigrants and refugees in the United States. These perceptions may contribute to dangerous stereotyping, which may impact policy and the daily life of immigrants in the United States. Various factors must be considered when analyzing media, such as the type of media, language used, consumption, and the reaction of viewers. This thesis focuses on AZcentral, an Arizona news source, and how it portrays immigrants versus the commentary from an immigrant here in Arizona. First it is important to look at time periodization of the portrayal of immigrants and how it has changed through technology mediums. The information obtained by looking at these periods provide specific terms and content to look for when collecting sources for the podcast. In the podcast, AZcentral and the interviewee stories are compared to show how different or similar they may be. Through this, the audience should be making their own conclusions to show accurate AZcentral is portraying the immigrant experience.
While touring may have been all about sex, drugs, and rock n' roll back in the 70's, the money in music has transferred to tour profits, rather than album sales. Thus, artists tour harder and more frequently, leading to an industry of overworked and usually underpaid individuals. It isn't unusual for a touring professional to work 14+ hour days, 7 days a week, and the work is sometimes back-breaking labor. Physical illness and living with coworkers can also add to the stress of an already strenuous job.
Even worse, pressures from the public, their clients, and even their coworkers can prevent those suffering with mental health issues from speaking out about it. No Breaks describes the "cycle of silence," or the high probability that those experiencing mental health issues will continue to stay silent if members of their touring crew or larger music community also fail to speak up.
The book concludes with a list of actions the public and industry can take in order to prevent and alleviate the intense pressure the music industry feels, including putting money back into music, donating to organizations that work to treat mental illness in them music industry, and offering support those who do choose to speak out. The purpose of No Breaks, however, is not to eradicate the conditions that exacerbate mental illness with a turn-key solution, but rather to explore these complex issues and create awareness. Many of the problems discussed in the book are self-perpetuating or linked with each other, and will take time, awareness, and cooperation to move forward and create a better industry for all.
