A positive relationship between studying abroad and increasing more knowledge With the development of different means of transport and communicative tools, there are many abilities for students to go abroad and study. Moreover, with the fall of the Curtain, more and more countries become available. Globalization touches all spheres of our life, and it is not a problem to get an education abroad. Students all over the world choose different countries to study and guarantee their character growth (Canada n.d.). It is connected first of all with the natural curiosity of youth and their desire to discover this world. This desire is the first in the list. Moreover, young peoples desire to become independent and separated from their parents also influence their choose greatly. However, rather surprisingly there is one more reason for students to choose studying in a foreign country. It is better to the level of knowledge they show while studying abroad. This statement seems to be rather contradictory as new conditions, unknown culture, and language should depress students. Fortunately, things turned out to be not so pessimistic. First of all, increasing the level of knowledge among students studying abroad is connected with the recognition of their independence as it is the first time they are away from home (Considering the Reasons to Study Abroad n.d.). It is their conscious choice. That is why their attitude to the process changes. Having recognized responsibility introduced by their choice, they start making great efforts in order to prove their ability to make decisions and not to disappoint their parents. Under such conditions, their responsible attitude influences their level of knowledge. Realization of the necessity of attending classes and lectures introduces the inner motivation for study, making them learn
Though it is generally considered that people should come up with their own solutions to the problems and that it is unreasonable and even absurd to make decisions based on what the others tell one, it cannot be denied that the opinion of the crowd matters much when it comes to the deciding point. Therefore, the idea of crowd thinking is rather vague and ambiguous; while its negative aspects are well known, its advantages are also often mentioned. In addition, the very definition of group thinking stretches from taking the opinions of others into account to making a mixed decision based on what the entire group thinks is right. An issue truly worth researching, group thinking is the focus of the given paper. There have been many attempts to describe the phenomenon of group mind or at least to show how potentially destructive group mind can be in every meaning of the word. One of the most famous and by far the most controversial researches on the topic, Zimbargo’s The Stanford Prison Experiment offers a number of opportunities to find a definition to the phenomenon of a group mind. A research that involved a prison simulation has shown that people quickly accept the attitudes and the behavioral patterns that a newly acquired social status offers them; moreover, once one of the group members starts acting in a certain way, the rest of the group members considers the given behavior acceptable. The given change cannot be attributed to the group members’ aptitude to violence: “Rather, the subjects’ abnormal social and personal reactions are best seen as a product of their transaction with an environment that supported the behavior that would be pathological in other settings, but was “appropriate” in this prison” (Zimbargo 742). As Zimbargo’s research shows, the people who were supposed to play the role of the “guard” were not instructed to be violent and harsh towards the “prisoners”. However, because of a range of factors, starting with the choice of the uniform for the “guard” and the “prisoners” and up to the fact that the prisoners were not supposed to have names, the group mind made the “guard” change their attitude towards the “prisoners” and became even more violent. Judging by the given example, it can be concluded that a group mind is a phenomenon that makes people within a certain group develop a common type of behavior that can help them stay in a leader’s position. Another peculiar study worth taking a glance at is Doris Lessing’s “Group Minds.” Unlike the previous study, the given one offers a definition to what a group mind actually is; As the author explains, “When we’re in a group, we tend to think as that group does” (Lessing, 1989). Therefore, group mind is a phenomenon that makes every single member of the group follow the group’s choice. However, putting the issue the way in which Doris Lessing has put it raises even more questions. For instance, In Zimbargo’s study, it was clear where the moods that were brooding in the group came from – the social roles of a guard and a prisoner already have an underlying idea of punishment, which results in a violent attitude towards the “imprisoned.” In Doris Lessing’s essay, h
Introduction On this planet, communication is fundamental in a bid to accomplish something. Lack of communication usually puts many issues in disarray as has always been witnessed in the healthcare sector, among many other industries. Consistency in communication is still helpful in encouraging collaboration, thereby reducing or preventing errors (Rayner & Wadhwa, 2020). The continued surge of the problem has resulted in many healthcare providers in the US coming together for the essence of providing coordinated and seamless patient care. The situation, background, assessment, and recommendation (SBAR) tool is a technique that many in the healthcare sector have considered helpful in solving the handoff communication problems. The technique is effective in bridging the gap witnessed between the healthcare practitioners and staff. The SBAR is a communication briefing model that is effective in the enhancement of handoff communication (Achrekar et al., 2016). The maternal unit of many health care facilities needs improvement in a bid to reduce many medical errors reported. Complications that a mother or child may get during giving birth or carrying a baby as a result of lack of communication may have serious consequences, especially to the child (Sheila, 2013). Hence, there is a need for enhanced facility interventions for maternal practices. Problem Description To foster continuity of care and provide safe patient care, a handoff between the health care providers is usually one of the critical factors. The handing off of information has been recognized as a vulnerable area that many health practitioners always fail to do effectively. As such, this shows the importance that effective communication holds when administering treatment. According to the Joint Commission, about 1000 cases of care discontinuity happened in 2018 due to a lack of proper handoff guidelines. In these cases, communication was the fundamental cause of more than 70% of severe medical errors reported (McAllen et al., 2018). Medication errors, delay in discharge from uncertainty in the transfer of patients to critical care, inaccurate patient plans, and repetitive tests, among others, are the consequences of failed communication during the handoff. The maternity unit of Temple University Hospital has experienced many of these problems. As such, the management of the hospital has sought action that will mitigate the problem (Sankpal et al., 2020).
Through line A girl is preparing for a party and she is frustrated as she cannot find the appropriate outfit, she looks at her wardrobe and then turns to her laptop where she sees “JCPenny: Look Good Feel Good” and she buys a good outfit at a JCPenny store and is a star at the party. JCPenny is a chain of department stores operating in Texas, USA (and Puerto Rico). The brand targets middle-class consumers, as well as people with low-income as the stores, offer numerous discounts. The brand perception includes such concepts as cheap, family, old, sales, Hispanic, crowded, coupons, simple. The brand may need an ad referring to family values and family life. The first scene is set in a teenage girl’s room where the girl is looking for a dress for the coming party. There is a retrospective scene in black and white that shows the girl at a party in a dress and it is clear she feels uncomfortable and she tries to keep a low profile. It is again her room and she is trying on some things but she is dissatisfied and even desperate. She looks around and she notices a phrase on her laptop: JCPenny: Look Good Feel Good. She smiles as if she knows what to do. The next scene is set at a JCPenny store where she tries on things and she looks happy. The final scene is set at a party where the girl is in the spotlight wearing a trendy outfit. She looks good and it is clear that she looks good as well. The picture becomes black and white, and in the center, an inscription appears JCPenny: Look Good Feel Good.
Introduction The International Debate Education Association (IDEA) indicates that corruption is something that cannot be applied to traditional communities (Yeganeh, 2014). In communities where gift culture is embraced, etiquettes and civil responsibilities tend to have different meanings. The association goes further to indicate that many traditions and social structures are based on the exchange of services for rewards. This argumentative essay gives a critical analysis of gift culture and corruption. Refuting the Claim The presented claim is refutable because corruption cannot be described or analyzed as a Western concept. Personally, I do not agree with any part of the presented claim. To begin with, corruption emerges from the concepts of morality and ethics (Yeganeh, 2014). Corruption is something that has existed in different corners of the world for centuries. That being the case, the malpractice is applicable to each and every society and has a negative meaning. Etiquette and civil responsibility are unique elements defined by ethical values. In traditional societies that embrace gift culture, etiquette and civil responsibility do not have different meanings (Health, Richards, & de Graaf, 2016). This analysis shows conclusively that every society expects its members to act in an ethical manner. The argument that societies that have a gift culture tend to define etiquette and civil responsibility differently is a fallacy. The other part of the presented claim indicates that the political structures and social traditions of many nations are based on the exchange of services for gifts or rewards. Consequently, such political systems might not be able to survive if this beneficial exchange is embraced. The main argument in this kind of claim is that corruption is a critical attribute of many societies that embrace the gift culture practice (Health et al., 2016). This is a clear indication that gift-giving, corruption, and the provision of rewards are cultural issues that can only be described using ethical theories. The presented parts of the claim are refutable because corruption and gift-giving are malpractices usually embraced by individuals in superior positions. Analysis of the Readings According to the class readings, corruption is malpractice arising from cultural tradition. This is the case because many traditional societies appreciate the use of gifts and rewards. These practices are usually unavoidable, especially in the developing world. The readings explain why different countries with unique political traditions will eventually find it hard to survive with the beneficial exchange of services for rewards (Yeganeh, 2014). The readings go further to present counterarguments to the claim. For instance, the materials indicate that corruption is unethical and should never be treated as a cultural
Hi, I’m Amanda Johns, and I would like to welcome you to our training on nursing-sensitive quality indicators presentation. I’m here to represent Quality Improvement Council and present on the National Database of Nursing Quality Indicators. As nurses, you will be involved in collecting and reporting valid data to improve high-quality care and data evaluation for NDNQI. I believe many of you are asking yourselves: what is (NDNQI®)? Well, NDNQI® refers to the National Database of Nursing Quality Indicators® (NDNQI®). It is the only proprietary database of the American Nurses Association that collects and analyzes data. The data is specifically on nurses and covers different hospitals in the United States (Yoder-Wise, 2018). The NDNQI® is a national measurement program focused on quality and provides healthcare institutions with performance comparison reports. The reports are consumed at the state, federal and regional levels. The nursing indicators are developed through a series of steps. First, there is the identification of a potential indicator. It should reflect the nursing care and should not be represented by a present indicator (Yoder-Wise, 2018). A literature review follows, and if there is empirical evidence in support of the indicator, it is sent to experts in nursing. The experts examine the potential indicator’s validity and find out if the collection of data will jeopardize the provision of quality care to the patient. The empirical proving of potential indicators leads to a pilot study in a willing facility. An unplanned descent to the floor with or without injury to the floor is defined by NDNQI as a fall. The patient can also land on a floor where he could not be expected to be. All falls must be included, whether unassisted or assisted, and whether they too result from environmental or physiological reasons (Yoder-Wise, 2018). Falls have been separated by NDNQI for the importance that healthcare members could understand in the falls, as the data will be categorized accordingly. An Interdisciplinary Approach It is a team effort to increase patient safety and satisfaction, despite nurses being considered at the forefront of hands-on patient care. Muscle weakness, low blood pressure, increased age, incontinence, and lack of assistive devices are among the top contributors to fall. Fall risk assessments are done to identify risk factors, and implement assistive measures which should be performed by nurses. CNA’s help carries out activities like toileting, while physical therapists help strength and muscle mass increment, decreasing falls. An interprofessional collaborative team supports safe care and high-quality service to the patients and satisfaction and engagement, as well as organizational innovation and efficiency. Impact of NDNQI NDNQI is essential for monitoring because it assists in analyzing the usefulness and performance of the nurses. It also helps understand the quality and quantity of nursing services accord
Alumni Memorial Hall is a part of the Illinois Institute of Technology, designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. It was built in 1946 and renamed in 1947 to immortalize the students of the Institute who lost their lives in World War II. The building is aligned on a grid it shared with the rest of the campus. Mies designed the campus to be modular and proportional, with different sections corresponding to the Golden Section. The construction was minimalistic and resembled a factory, with its exposed steel beams, brick, and concrete. The inside walls and floors were built to be easily interchangeable, continuing with the modular design. Non-loadbearing components can be removed or replaced, according to the desired function. The Alumni Memorial Hall was conceived as an outward rejection of the idea that form follows function. The entirety of it can be repurposed to serve a wholly different function both inside and outside the education sphere. The construction was inspired by a German shoe factory, which was designed to exemplify modern sensibilities. Some describe the Alumni Memorial Hall as a forerunner to brutalist architecture, and it certainly looks the part. Perhaps the most notable element of the construction is Mies’s negative corner. Every corner of that building is an inward-shaped steel I-beam, with walls protruding to either side of it. In the center of the negative corner, there is a smaller positive corner, an outward protrusion of the beam, signifying a sturdy load-bearing core. That mirrors the exposed steel beams generously featured throughout the outside of the Hall, hinting at a load-bearing skeleton. The actual load-bearing elements are encased in concrete and are not visible anywhere in the building, but the beams are placed to signify their presence. The negative-positive corner follows the same idea, signifying an invisible load-bearing corner beam by a visible non-load-bearing one. That serves to give the building a durable and functional presentation characteristic of modernism and brutalism.
Nagel’s article on death studied the assumptions and theories of death. The basic questions on the topic are: what is the rationale behind death? What evil can be attributed to death? Nagel begins his study with a general theory of life and death. He explained death as the end of living; this meant the life of an individual would be terminated at the time of death. The basis of Nagel’s study began with three hypotheses on the study of death (Nagel 4). The first hypothesis states that death is evil. The second hypothesis says death can be normal when it does not remove the essence of life. The third hypothesis expresses death as a deprivation of the good things of life. The first hypothesis studies the essence of living and the evil in death. Nagel emphasized that death terminates the life of an individual and the good in him or her. We cannot ascribe the good of living but we can equally describe the harm in death. The death of an individual can be seen from three positions as described by Nagel. The first position seeks to explain the reason of death and why it is evil. When a student is killed on his way to school, they say the life of the student was short-lived. This is true only when we cannot ascertain the future. Nagel provided more emphasis on this position of thought with the natural self. When we imagine what the future holds for the student, one would easily put forward the assumption of death is evil. Another example was seen in the case of a child suffering from a blood disease, his death would be comforting to the family because of the suffering the child had endured. The second position of the first hypothesis explained how death can be compared using different circumstances. For example, an old woman smiled on her dying bed signifying she had completed a worthy life and wants a rest. Her death would be seen as a gift of life. The third position would be at the disadvantage in death. Death comes in various ways, and people believe death without pain is better than death with the pain. The way in which an individual dies contributes to the pain we feel when someone dies. The example above does not isolate death from evil; it only reminds us death is inevitable (Nagel 5). We agree with the school of thought, death at a full age would be less painful to those who mourn their loss than death at a young age. This belief can be used to further the arguments on death. At what point would death be termed well deserved? The society would agree that death is well deserved on an individual depending on the circumstances surrounding an individual. For example, when a robber is executed people tend to see his or her death as well deserved because of the pain the individual has inflicted in the community. The end of life for the individual was not seen as a deprivation of life but well deserved. This means death itself is not evil as put forward by Nagel’s third hypothesis the deprivati
In 1973, several alumni of Jesuit schools gathered in Valencia, Spain to celebrate the achievements of St. Ignatius. On that day, the head of Jesuits, Fr. Pedro de Arrupe Y Gondra gave one of his most celebrated speeches titled, “Men and Women for others.” The title of this moving speech that changed the approach to education within the Jesuit circles later became the motto of Jesuit education. According to Fr. Pedro Arrupe, the then education trend was characterized by individualism. Scholars did not reflect the values of Jesus Christ who sacrificed his greatness to save all mankind. According to him, the best practice would be educating men who would live not for themselves but for God. And living for God meant expressing profound love for the least of neighbors (Burke 10; Crystal, par. 6). Considering Fr. Arrupe’s conception of the meaning of education, the charitable life Bill Gates will be identified in this paper to show how one’s education has been used to support the least of neighbors. Without a doubt, Bill Gates can be considered one of the world’s most genius brains. His contribution to the world of technology has had a great impact on the day-to-day lives of almost every living human. His Microsoft Corporation has become the world’s greatest software developer. As a result, Bill Gates has been ranked within the top ten richest people in the world for almost a decade. However, the great sum of money raked in by the Microsoft Empire has not been used solely for personal benefits. With the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the least of neighbors from all corners of the earth have benefited. Living standards have been improved and lives saved (Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (b), par. 3). Bill Gates has used his genius education to support the less fortunate by offering grants and scholarships for minorities in the United States. Through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, more than 27,000 students from high school would be assisted to complete their education in colleges and universities. According to Bill Gates, the more than 4.5 million students who were estimated would miss college between 2006 and 2016 were not a result of lack of talent and ability but increased tuition fees. The targeted recipients of the grants and scholarships were from low-income minority families. Furthermore, the Foundation encouraged public service to devote their efforts to improving the lives of others. Outside the United States, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has extended its charitable hands to Africa. In Kenya, several families were facing threats of death through starving. According to the Foundation, the starving was not a result of lack of land, but poor agricultural methods that led to underproduction. In Western Kenya, research showed that if farmers engaged in the use of fertilizer, their returns would be more than 70%. With such production,
