Scrubs is a comedy series focused on the career life of J.D, a young doctor striving to advance his medical profession at the teaching hospital as he copes with the staff and patients. This topic demonstrates the character archetypes in the movie and how they are exaggerated and changed to enhance the comedy. Bob Kelso is the head of medicine at Sacred Heart Hospital for the initial seven seasons until he decides to retire. As the boss, he is portrayed as self-centered, unfriendly, and unkind, mainly motivated by the hospital’s decisions instead of its well-being. However, he sometimes has a gentle side and was always there to assist when the staff needed him. The janitor is the hospital’s caretaker, and an occurrence in the first episode reveals an antagonistic connection between J.D. and him, which continues throughout the movie. This lousy character tends to capture Janitor’s insulting jokes on J.D; however, he has severally displayed that he has a soft side. John Michael J.D. Dorian is the movie’s warrior and storyteller. He is a young aiding medical practitioner who starts as a staff intern. Throughout the series, he must confront challenges that need him to develop and enhance to become the best doctor he can be. Eliot Reid is also an intern who later becomes a private physician. She has a romantic relationship with J.D., which eventually leads to marriage. She portrays a lost soul character because of her naivety and innocent look. Most of her pride is centered on demonstrating herself as honest as a doctor and as an individual. Christopher Turk is J.D’s best friend and maintains a good relationship with his girlfriend, Carla. Turk always makes every effort and works hard to ensure that his colleagues like him. He later becomes a teacher at Winston University while continuing with duties as a surgeon. Perry Cox is an attending doctor and residency manager at the hospital. Even though he can be strict, he is a robust role model for different actors in the series. Cox is one of the best and most humorous characters and a charmer throughout the series. He is also committed to his patient’s well-being and usually shows concern. Carla Espinosa is the nurse in charge at the hospital and Turk’s girlfriend. She is dictatorial, strong-willed, and intimidating; however, she acts as a role model and a mother to the interns, motivating and counseling them. Some characters were exaggerated and changed to enhance the comedy. For instance, Eliot is a lovely person initially; however, certain features of her role, such as her naivety and innocence, are changed during the show. This includes improving her social skills, making her a better person, and being an entertaining character to watch. Consequently, Carla is stubborn and unbearable throughout the drama with her domineering and bossy attitude. Carla gradually gets better as she gets along with J.D. as a mother figure to him and has a good relationship with Turk. Besides, there is Elliot, whom Carla initially dislikes, but later they become
Society is built on many presumptions about people’s nature, most of which become obsolete with time. Such assumptions lead to the mistreatment of a sizable portion of the population. The belief in the incurability and inherent danger of mental conditions is a prime example. The deficit of social justice in this sphere is described in LeFrançois, Reaume, and Menzies’s book Mad Matters . It relates to the social justice leadership in clinical and supervisory practice in mental health settings by challenging the modern tenets of managerialism and neoliberalism. Managerialism is the dominant approach to management in the service industry. It presupposes prioritizing competencies at the expense of social justice (Fook, 2002). Mad Matters showcases social activists fighting this viewpoint and their achievements. Boston’s Disabled People’s Liberation Front influenced power structures in the US. The Ontario Coalition on Human Rights acted similarly in Canada. These organizations managed to change legislation concerning mentally challenged people (LeFrançois et al., 2013, p. 27). In practice, it meant that new guidelines required clinical facilities to forgo the stigmatization of mental patients. Subsequently, supervisors of such establishments checked that the treatment of the aforementioned patients was corresponding to their rights. Neoliberalism is the view that judges success in economic terms. Its exclusion of social justice from the equation contributes to the oppression of mental patients (Pollack & Rossiter, 2010). Mad Matters shows the growth of social activism, advocating the rights of mentally challenged individuals. Motivated by the success of feminist and gay liberalization movements, Mental Patients Association (MPA) openly resisted neoliberalism. It began the unprecedented practice of unbiased clinical treatment of mental patients, which was funded by the government (LeFrançois et al., 2013, p. 58). Therefore, by changing the agenda of the Mental Health Commission of Canada, MPA influenced leadership in mental healthcare. Altogether, it should be evident that neoliberalist policies and managerial practices harm mentally challenged people. Increased emphasis on professionalism and economic value discards social justice. Mad Matters describes organizations influencing the legislation and policies on mental patients. Not only did these people start to receive adequate healthcare services, but their treatment was also controlled by supervisors. Their success in combating neoliberalism and managerialism showcases the relation of Mad Matters to the advancement of social justice in mental healthcare.
Despite the fact that Richard Rodriguez’s essay “The Achievement of Desire” is being seemingly concerned with exploring socially defined difficulties, experienced by representatives of ethnic minorities on the way of attaining academic prominence, the ultimate message this essay conveys is best discussed in terms of biology and demographics, simply because it provides us with the insight onto the fact that that the process of America’s educational standards being continuously lowered cannot be thought of as “thing in itself” – that is, this process is nothing but a side-effect of American society becoming increasingly multicultural. Even though that in his essay Rodriguez never ceases to take pride in the fact that he was able to rise above educational limitations, imposed upon him by his racial affiliation and by his low social status, it would be wrong to think of author as someone who had achieved a scholarly excellence, in traditional sense of this word. And the reason for this is simple – in “The Achievement of Desire”, Rodriguez continuously stresses out the particularities of his studies as being primarily concerned with mechanistic memorizing, rather then with exploring the actual essence of a researched subject matter. This is why the term “scholarship boy”, which is being extensively utilized by Rodriguez, throughout the essay, carries an unmistakably negative connotation: “The scholarship boy is a very bad student. He is the great mimic; a collector of thoughts, not a thinker; the very last person in class who ever feels obliged to have an opinion of his own” (Rodriguez, p. 7). As we are all aware of, students that are being referred to as “nerds”, may posses a plenty of factual information, in regards to their studies’ specialization – yet, it does not prevent them from acting absolutely dumb, while addressing life’s even simplest challenges. This can be explained by the fact that, unlike truly educated people, “nerds” are being incapable of understanding how the things they have learnt in school/college/university relate to surrounding reality. They do “know” a lot, but “understand” very little. In “The Achievement of Desire”, Rodriguez leaves little doubt as to the fact that “nerdism” was actually the foremost characteristic of author’s existential mode, throughout his years in school: “When my brother saw me struggling home with stacks of library books, he would laugh, shouting: “Hey, Four Eyes!” My father opened a closet one day and was startled to find me inside, reading a novel” (Rodriguez, p. 1). The reason why “nerds” are being utterly dedicated to studying can be easily explained in terms of psychology – while being perfectly aware of their physical and often mental inadequateness, these people strive to take a “revenge on society” by aiming to become highly-paid “professionals” in the future, so that they could show off the “cruel world”. As it appears from essay’s context, Rodriguez used to suffer a lot on account of being dark-skinned Mexican. Therefore, author’s academic-mindedness appears to have been not
Introduction Lung cancer is a common and deadly form of cancer characterized by the development of cancerous cells in the lungs of the individual. This disease is associated with many negative health and social outcomes for the patient. There is no cure for lung cancer, although treatment can be offered to improve the patient’s quality of life and their survival rate. This paper will provide a description of lung cancer and document the risk factors for the disease. The treatment options for the disease and prevention methods will be discussed. Description of the Disease Lung cancer is the type of cancer characterized by the development of cancerous cells in the lungs of the individual. As the disease progresses, the malignant cells can spread to other body organs. The American Cancer Society places cancer as the third most common cancer and it accounts for 13% of new cancer cases. While it is the third most common cancer, lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the US (Moyer 330). Zakowski declares that lung cancer “remains the largest cancer killer in the westernized world, with approximately 226000 new cases, and more than 160,000 deaths estimated for 2012 in the US” (1816). There are several different histological forms of lung cancer and each unique type influences the treatment choice and prognosis. The first main type of lung cancer is non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and it makes up 85% of all the lung cancer cases (Bennett and White 50). The second type is small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and it accounts for 15% of the lung cancer diagnoses. NSCLC is further subdivided into “squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, and large cell carcinoma” (Bennett and White 51). Squamous cell carcinoma is caused by the mutation of the healthy cells found on the lining of the airways into malignant cells. The cancer starts near the center of the chest and spreads to the other parts of the lungs. Squamous cell carcinoma is the most common type of NSCLC and it is closely associated with smoking. Adenocarcinoma develops when cancerous cells develop in the mucus producing cells in the lungs. This type of NSCLC starts from the outer regions of the lungs and it is common in non-smokers. Current Statistics of those affected Lung cancer is more prevalent in men than in women. This high representation of men can be explained by the fact that the smoking population is predominantly male. However, women who smoke are at a greater risk of developing lung cancer since women are more susceptible than men to the carcinogens in tobacco smoke (Bennett and White 51). There is an increase in the prevalence of lung cancer as individuals get older. A report by the CDC reveals that incidents of lung cancer are most common in adults aged 55 years and above (Moyer 334). Diagnosis for lung cancer peaks between the ages of 74 and 84 years. Risk Factors The primary risk factor for lung cancer is cigarette smoking and up to 90% of lung cancer cases are caused by using tobacco products. Inhalation of tobacco smoke causes lung cancer since this smoke is comprised of a toxic mixture of thousands of chemicals. The risk for lung cancer
Introduction I would wish to raise my concern concerning the trends in demand and supply in the world as I propose that you look at my opinions and cover them in the coming month’s economic magazine. I have been following your articles in the economic magazine and I have realized that the issue has not been covered for a long time. My interest in this topic has been brought about by the current trends in the micro economic sector. It has become quite hard to predict the trends in demand and supply since the trends have been changing in a very irregular manner. It is therefore important to look at this topic in detail in order to determine the causes of the current trends, the effects they may have in the micro economic sector and the possible solutions. Demand refers to the amount of goods and services that consumers may be willing to purchase at a given price. It is therefore, an economic principle that shows the relationship between the consumers’ willingness and desire to pay for a certain commodity and price. Supply on the other hand is an economic principle that refers to the total number of goods and services at the exposure of the consumer at a given price at a particular time. Demand and supply go hand in hand in that when the demand goes high then the supply is low and that the when the supply is high, the demand goes down. Market Forces of demand and Supply One of the major causes of the current fluctuation of demand and supply in the microeconomic sector is weather which has currently become so unpredictable due to global warming among other issues. Weather mostly affects agricultural products. A good example of the effect of weather is when the cold weather hits Florida; the price of juice rises throughout the nation. This affects the demand and supply of the commodity a great deal. It is not likely to attract the supply of the commodity from the producers while the demand goes down as the consumers tries to shy away from the high prices. When the warm weather prevails in summers, prices of hotel rooms in England plummet all as a result of effects of demand and supply Weather also affects the demand and supply of clothing as well as the production of various goods (Mankiw 65). Globalization and changes in technology have also lead to unpredictable fluctuation in demand and supply. This is a very broad topic in that it affects close to all areas of the economy. For example, any disruption occurring in the oil producing countries will affect the world supply of oil and this effect will be felt even in countries which do not produce oil. Globalization has made countries depend on each and as a result and this has enhanced the effect of supply and demand forces. Nowadays, agricultural products can be produced at any time of the year using technology such as irrigation and green houses that do not depend on weather patterns. It is therefore hard to predict market trends using weather patterns and in most cases nowadays, other factors leads to such changes. Population has been another major fa
With the transfer of the global economy into the online area, a range of questions concerning the payment procedure ensued (Taylor 2). Even though it quickly became possible to use credit cards for paying for online services and buying products online, the issue regarding possible alternative payment methods has been raised quite a few times (Patent Application Titled “Mobile Currency Messaging Systems” Published Online 9572). Seeing that the environment of the online economy differed greatly from the real-life one, it was reasonable to suggest that a new type of currency should be suggested as opposed to dollars, euros, etc. Alternative systems of payment were the result, and the Amazon Coin was a peculiar specimen of the latter. According to the official statement made by the organization, the Amazon Coin is “a virtual currency you can use to purchase eligible apps, games, and digital in-app items” (Amazon para. 1). Though often compared to BitCoins, Amazon Coins represent a different concept, as they are only valid within the Amazon Company; outside of its services, the coins are useless. Herein their acceptability and legality lie; however, it should be noted that the specified characteristics of Amazon Coins also define their value and significance to a considerable extent. Even though the Amazon Coin as a concept works perfectly well within the environment of the Amazon online services, being both legal and economically reasonable as opposed to bitcoins, it is still considered alien to the existing monetary system by the U.S. government, even though the U.S. citizens enjoy the services; herein the conflict between the social and the political implications of the introduction of a digital currency lie. The consensus that the Amazon organization has found between the [political and social implications is truly fascinating (Wolfe 2). The company has managed to balance between what is considered a punishable offense and a challenge to the global financial system, as the introduction of a new currency, which, from the perspective of the U.S. law, technically falls under the category of crime: “in using the word “coin” Amazon invoked a language that the FED associates with counterfeiting” (Appeagle para. 3). Nevertheless, Amazon has maintained its status as a law-abiding company; moreover, the organization has become known worldwide as the firm that made the idea of a virtual currency possible (Hughes 2). Indeed, while it would be wrong to claim that the Amazon Corporation has come up with the concept of online money, one must give the organization some credit for perfecting the system of virtual coins. The route, which the Amazon Company has managed to locate to avoid the possible legal issues is, in fact, much more than merely a clever trick; the strategy that the organization has adopted to handle the possible accusations of a financial fraud shows that the concept of online mone
Introduction The case problem is concentrated on Greenway Industries which is a merged company operating as a family business. The company has been comprised of Olive and Lim families on the basis of equal share, controlling power, and employment opportunities. Originated from a software engineering and a small manufacturing firm of computer accessories, Greenway is aged about 18 months with satisfactory profitability. At present, the company is running with 180 employees among who 45 employees are women. Having a number of skilled workforces as important bodies like- senior software designer, design engineer, production manager, a chief financial officer from both families, Greenway is now facing complexity and contradiction regarding equal employment opportunity in the workplace, disposition of company information on a public register and exposition of female authority in decision making which will focus and theoretical and practical recommendation will be proposed throughout the report. Identification of problems The case is clearly indicating the problem regarding the internal workforce, policies, and procedures as well as the overall significance of merging two different firms. Those can be observed as follows:   * The initial problem lies in sense of contradiction among the major governing bodies of the firm as being experienced, highly educated, and skilled, Robert and Ken don’t pose traditional thoughts in all vital issues although it is not affecting the firm vitally.   * Bob’s family is disclosing a more complex issue since his daughter Kate has been identified as a problem child because of her belief in the wholehearted approach of preparing agency reports for value proposition and overall transparency of the company regarding the modified company law.   * Since Greenways has only 45 women worker of whom most of them are in low- level management or clerical position, Kate is also concerned with significant women opportunity for control and decision making purposes for which informal campaign has been started that has been opposed by most of the members of board indicating it as a personal spot as it should be mostly preferred for larger companies.   * Demand of equal employment opportunity agency as the basic notification of merging. Academic literature Associating with relevant problems, the theoretical review will basically focus on a number of issues, like- equal employment opportunity, condition, and the law of women rights, freedom from discrimination, agency theory and reporting process, etc. which are discussed b
The British Empire was the largest in the entire world and its power and influence were universally felt. The British Empire grew due to the continuing competition for resources and markets that prevailed between England and its rivals like France, Spain, and Holland. The British Empire began as a mercantile one by ensuring that its exports exceeded its imports in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. This was a positive balance of trade that would be useful in the expansion and growth of the empire. The British exercised both direct and indirect rule in other countries. Indirect rule, the British rule was in full direct control of a country’s administration and resources but in indirect rule, a country had its own governing system that was under the influence of the British. The desire to gain more power and become the most powerful nation in the world led to a scramble for Africa in search of resources and a market that would support the industrialization process which greatly promoted economic development within the British Empire. Later on, the British Empire became involved in the acquisition of territory during the Victorian era in the early nineteenth century. The British Empire was considered a complex society with specific ideas and customs capable of being passed on to other more primitive societies. The British, due to their complexity, were deemed as civilized people. They were civilized with regard to technology, science, and division of labor. Despite the fact that the British invaded the territory of other countries, they did so only to obtain resources for their industries in Britain and partly contributed towards the civilization of the societies they had invaded. In Africa for example, the British and their rivals were involved in bringing about Christianity, education, and urbanization within the continent (Canny, 1998).
