Study Examines Slang Across the Decades

The team at Preply offers us a fun infographic showing the outdated slang terms that Americans want to revive. Slang comes and goes with hairstyles, the cut of your jeans, and popular music and dances. But there isn’t always a perfect replacement for the slang words from decades past. In fact, 80% of Americans say they use outdated slang regularly. This might be from an old habit, but some say they do it ironically or for a laugh. America’s favorite decade for slang is the ‘90s, which brought us words like “rad,” “gnarly,” “sick,” and “dope,” all of which are synonyms for cool! While many generations favored the slang of the ‘80s and ‘90s, Baby Boomers prefer slang from the ‘60s. Gen X respondents were the most nostalgic for the slang of their youth, specifically from the ‘80s and ‘90s, reflecting the wider preference for slang from that era.

Cultural Sensitivity and Nursing in the United States

Globalisation has brought along with it the need for diversity and sensitivity. There are many examples that can prove that being diverse and sensitive has now become more preferable than being ethnocentric. For instance, many employers seek a diverse skillset and even languages, when they're on the lookout to recruit new employees. But they also seek that the person has amazing soft skills, such as communication and empathy. Similarly, cultural sensitivity is being assured even on campuses, in schools, and in every discipline and profession that we can think of.

Nursing is one such profession where cultural sensitivity is being taken seriously. The nature of the profession demands the highest form of empathy for those looking forward to establishing a career in nursing. Now let's visualise the nursing landscape in the United States. As a country, the United States has citizens belonging to a multitude of religions, races and nationalities.

Diversity in Interscholastic Sports in the US

Sports are universal, and you can be of any race or culture and still play sports. In the United States of America, loads of sports are played professionally and watched by millions of fans. Each major sport has an organization as well. Most notably NBA for basketball, MLS for soccer, NFL for football, NHL for hockey, and MLB for baseball.

Despite being a very sporty country, the US is also a very diverse country as it inhabits people from almost every other country in the world. However, that diversity is not shown in many areas of the US, including sports. Diversity is a good prospect for any country. Having it adopted in sports can also be a good aspect of sports teams.

How to Get Rid of a Tattoo

This is a difficult question as it depends on where you go to get the procedure, how big the tattoo is, and how many sessions you need. A ballpark estimate might be that a four hundred dollar tattoo might cost four thousand dollars to remove. Also, people with naturally dark skin may find that laser tattoo removal disfigures them.

It may cause their natural pigment to lighten. On the other hand, persons with light skin may forever see a shadow where the tattoo used to be. In general, old tattoos are easier to remove. Modern ink is more resistant. If you’re thinking about laser tattoo removal, we highly recommend researching it first. Speak to a specialist about the possibilities.
