Introductuion The problem, of euthanasia raises a great deal of controversy. Some people claim that it is inherently wrong while others strongly support the idea. Both views should be taken into account when considering the possibility of making it legal. Main Text The person who is in coma or whose reason is damaged, does not suffer, they are alive, active and happy in the astral body. They can live nearby, as a soul connected with the ground until it karma they will not be carried out up to the end. The astral brain functions separately from physical. The request of the patient to relieve them from Karma and sufferings that is clarification and healing, nobody gives the right to break life of a physical body. Such request needs to be regarded as a sign on weakness and consequently it is necessary for ignoring. In each person it is necessary to install courage for living in a physical body so long, as long it will exist natural by to live all karmas, good, bad and mixed that they do not send to following incarnation. “The representative of National Advice of Temples of India: “The concept of euthanasia is incompatible with the Indian moral code. It should be never approved. It is necessary to find more worthy and moral ways of the help incurable patient” (Moreno, 1995) . The professor of philosophy of the State University of State of Oregon Kortni S.Kempbell has expressed the opinion, having told: “The spiritual purpose of clearing can become also the moral reason of search of death and acceleration of time of its approach. Truncation of a life can be permissible only when physical sufferings stir to realization of self-checking and clearness of consciousness. Or lethargic dream, the mind and consciousness can obscure a pain at approach of death. Heavy sufferings also can lead to that the person will be so adhered to the material life (a corporal condition) that cannot reach the maximum spiritual purpose of clearing of a material world. Reasonings on the superiority of the spiritual purposes of clearing or compassion concerning preservation of a life also address to euthanasia on means of a killing injection. Teachers Hindu and the Buddhism have found support for this purpose so-called active euthanasia in the traditions, reflecting value of death as doors to clearing, the culminations of a life in a detachment from a material world. Then they do a step forward, connecting compassion with self-comparison: the person should act with others how would like, that acted with it. Therefore euthanasia it is possible to consider as the certificate of compassion or “an injection of mercy” for the dying person a
The legislative branch of the US government entails Congress, which is split into two halls – the Senate and the House of Representatives. Each participant of Congress is elected by the population of his or her state. The House of Representatives, with association grounded on state populations, has 435 seats, while the Senate, with two associates from each state, has 100 seats. Members of the House of Representatives are elected for two-year periods, and Senators are elected for six-year periods. The United Kingdom does not have a single legal structure as it was created by the political union of formerly independent states with Article 19 of the Treaty of Union assuring the continued survival of Scotland’s spit legal structure. Today the UK has three separate systems of law: English law, Northern Ireland, and Scottish law. Recent constitutional modifications will see a new Supreme Court of the United Kingdom come into existence in October 2009 that will take on the petition purposes of the Appellate Committee of the House of Lords. The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, entailing the same associates as the Appellate Committee of the House of Lords, is the Supreme court of Appeals for some sovereign Commonwealth states, the UK overseas territories, and the British crown addictions. The Parliament of France, representing the legislative branch, entails two houses: the National Assembly and the Senate; the Assembly is the pre-reputed institution. The cabinet has a powerful impact in forming the agenda of Parliament. The government also can connect its term to a lawmaking text which it offers, and unless a motion of criticizing is initiated and passed, the text is regarded as achieved without a vote. Members of Parliament experience parliamentary resistance. Both assemblies have groups that write reports on a diversity of matters. If essential, they can state parliamentary inquiry commissions with a wide investigative force.
The perceived effects of risk associated strategic decisions have been a motivation for integrating contingency frameworks in the development of strategic plans in companies. By integrating the manner for which the perceived risks are to be managed, planners are able to anticipate the potential damage caused by an uncertain decision or plan of action. From the Wal-Mart company annual reports, it can be noted that the company has many strategic initiatives. These strategic initiatives have many risks because of continuing weak economic conditions and strong competition. However, the company is confident with its business because revenues are projected to increase this year, continuing its growth. The company is also looking at risks from fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The company faces risks to its exposure to foreign currency exchange since it has foreign affiliates and has equity investments in foreign companies. Though the company does not hedge foreign currency translation risk, it does hedge a large portion of the exchange risk. In terms of interest rate risk, the company has financial instruments in medium and long-term fixed-rate notes and debentures. Changes in the interest rate can lead to possible significant fluctuations in the fair value of the notes and debentures. Strategic initiatives relating to the global market accompanied by substantial threats of failure, but it is only through continuous innovation and risk-taking can an organization really stands out in a highly competitive global market. The company is cognizant of what risks are worth taking, and how much could be managed to make strategic plans really work for the benefit of the organization. Risk is worth taking if it opens up sustainability potentials, long-term benefits that at the outset may seem to be a huge investment. Wal-Mart’s needs to capitalize on its unique qualities, and these should be immediately visible in its packaging – not only in its advertisements. Although there could be certain risks in changing its branding design, Wal-Mart’s has to invest in it if it wants to obtain a fair market share as well as a competitive advantage. In exploiting and develop a dynamic resource strategy, the product portfolio theory where products are perceived to be strong “in a firm’s growth-share matrix supply weak ones with cash again underscores the duality between the product and the resource perspectives on the firms” (Wernerfelt 1984, p. 178). Normally, businesses are expected to relate to one another in several ways other than financially. In such a case, ” the joint cost subsidy from resource relation may be a more potent tool than a product to product cash subsidy” (Wernerfelt 1984, p.178). That is, if firms decide to diversify their resource portfolio rather than the product, then they could give a richer perspective on their growth prospects. In other words, optimal management of a resource portfolio is, in theory, similar to the optimal management of a product portfolio. To ensure that the firm continues developing in
Ethics defines the society in terms of what is wrong or right. There are concepts that each individual in the society identifies with when relating to other people. The decisions that people make in the society may have positive or negative consequences. This has led to the development of laws to regulate the outcomes of people’s decisions. The law thus ensures that people keep a sane mind when performing various duties. People are forced to evaluate the outcomes of their actions before they perform the intended action. Martha violates various aspects of the agreement that she made with Bob. She chooses to destroy Bob’s reputation at the Toronto Builders and Real Estate Association. This goes against the ethical code of conduct since she is consciously taking the wrong approach in solving the issue at hand. She does this knowing that it will have negative consequences on Bob’s career. In legal terms, the approach that Martha takes is against the professional code of conduct in Toronto. Martha lets personal issues cloud her judgement. This is not right according to the professionalism act in Toronto. In respect of the actions that Martha takes against Bob, she is liable to the law. First, the fact that she chooses to give false information about Bob greatly infringes on his professional reputation. Martha is also answerable since the agreement on referral fee payment was not documented and thus it was legally void. This leads to the conclusion that she might have been demanding a bribe from Bob. These are the legal obligations that Martha would be required to answer as per the legal violations she had made. In accordance with the Toronto business agreement laws, Martha was not legally entitled to any form of payment from Bob. This limited her when it came to making demands that Bob should pay his dues according to their agreement. Making false accusations against Bob is incorrect since there are legal limitations on how she should have handled the issue. She might also be held accountable since she will be required to prove her allegations against bob. Legally, the allegations will be subject to proof which Martha cannot provide. This is because she wrongly accused Bob and the truth will be determined through the legal process. The consequence theory of ethical reasoning best explains Martha’s behavior towards Bob. The theory states that one should always strive to promote good consequences over bad ones to ensure that there is harmony and good relations in the society. Martha did not propagate this theory, but acted in contradiction. There were negative consequences that arose from her actions. Martha did not act ethically in relation to the negative effects that her actions would have on Bob. Instead of acting on her emotions and frustrations, Martha should have first approached Bob with the issue. This would have enabled her to know Bob’s stand on the promise h
Globalisation has become the most overused and under the specified term in the international scene since the end of the Cold War. From the first public speech of President Bush in early 1990 for the coming of a ‘new world order’, it has come a long way to become the central issue on economic and political affairs (Held & McGrew, p. 1). In international relations globalization has been the focus of many meetings of diplomats and heads of state. Most of the issues raised in these meetings concern the topic of globalization. Such issues can be international security and peace and trade liberalization among nations. All of these issues require the nation-state to ‘deliver’ some of its sovereignty and powers to a larger organization being that the United Nations, the World Trade Organization, NATO Alliance, etc. This is because globalization has seen to be the coming together of different societies in a sort of ‘joitventure’, thus forming one global society, the ‘global village’. In this global village, the diversities are not meant to be loosened but the integration to the creation of a common set of norms and values is desired and even encouraged (Armstrong, p. 547). The nation-state has been considered, according to the Westfalian system, the only organization to have sovereign authority within its well-defined boundaries. Also, on the international scene, it is the state that has the right to represent its nation, society, in talks or events with other societies or nations. Only it has the right to engage in talks and negotiations regarding any issue that affects the society living within the borders of that state. Also, on the economic level, it is only the state that (in the capitalist system) defines the rules and laws to be applied in the market. But globalization has been gradually changing all of this. Now the state is not sovereign in every aspect relating to its society or territory. By engaging and becoming a member of different organizations, the state agrees to give up some of its sovereignty. It has now to abide by the decisions of the organziation it is part of even though it might not agree totally on certain regulations or rules. Many examples could be set here. In international peace and security issues, we can mention the role of international organizations like NATO. When you become a member of the organization then you automatically give to other members privileges regarding the use of your land, air and naval territories. The case of the peace maintaining operations in Afghanistan is another example of how different states collaborate in that mission. Even though some members of the organization did not agree fully on the issue they had to abide by the decision made within the organization to intervene n Afghanistan and these states give their help, in different forms, to achi
Choice of Visuals: Reasons The reasons for choosing the pictures above as the support for the text conveying the message are quite basic. The images (see Appendix A) were chosen to create a mild yet noticeable contrast between the message that the textual part of the visual contains and the image that serves as the support. As a result, the audience will be able to receive a nuanced piece of information and approach it from different angles when processing it. Visuals and the Intended Message: Support Each of the visuals in question supports the message substantively at the same time provoking a discussion. For instance, the billboard shows that the modern concept of beauty is often used at its most superficial level in order to cater to the target audience. The photo, in its turn, allows for an in-depth analysis of modern clichés of attractiveness. Combined with the message, the picture allows the audience to conclude that the lack of details serves as a boost for the viewer’s imagination and, therefore, helps build an attractive image based on a comparatively small number of characteristics. The video comments on the controversy of the contemporary concept of beauty whereas the screenshot displays clearly that the problem of the modern beauty concept has not been explored fully yet. The drawing, however, displays quite evidently that the current concept of appearance and beauty, though shaped significantly by the uniform set of principles foisted on people by modern media, is still affected significantly by the unique viewpoint of an individual. Moreover, the drawing makes it very clear that the concept of physical attractiveness is flexible enough to be seen in the images that are typically interpreted as failing to comply with the contemporary attractiveness standards. More importantly, the visuals discussed above allow suggesting that the phenomenon
Abstract Survival in the health care world requires an informed person. Healthcare providers, administrators and patients are affected by decisions and health policies made on health care programs. Healthcare policies are closely tied with politics of United States where decisions are made to affect the entire population. Health policies are as a result of decisions made by many people in hospitals, the government, insurance industry, and some business corporations. Health care policies affect the effectiveness of service delivery in current health care programs. This paper seeks to highlight the influence of health policy on the development, operation, design, and effectiveness as it relates to the effectiveness of health care delivery systems of health care program. Introduction Health care programs offer the primary means of getting access to health care in the United States today. Designing of health care programs like Medicare and Medicaid involves extensive interactions among health insurers, health care providers, individuals, public and private sectors, and the government. Proposals in health coverage in general focus on their policy impact. Majority of proposals give only sketchy information about management. In addition, administrative costs stand for only a diminutive part of the total costs of a proposal (Darr & Longest, 2008). Nevertheless, when matters of implementation are not addressed, expensive policies or programs fail to achieve their objectives. Health care policies affect the management and administrative issues, and this affects the effectiveness of health care programs (Morone, Litman, & Robins, 2008). An important goal of health care programs is expanding access to inexpensive, high-quality health care (NAPA-NASI, 2009). This goal is met when health care policies provide a supportive environment. Health care policies affect planning, coordinating and implementation of healthcare programs. It also affects the process of regulating health insurance, streamlining health care program markets, and the process of designing managerial organizations for health reform (Morone, Litman, & Robins, 2008). Health care system in United States The three major issues facing the health care system of United States are access, cost, and quality. Improved access may quickly become expensive without slowing the increase of costs and without increasing the quality of health care (NAPA-NASI, 2009). Improvements quality and cost are consecutively likely to necessitate changes in the process of delivering health care. Financial access in health care is an important issue in United States; different financing models may have different implications on control of costs and performance improvement of the health care delivery system like Medicare and Medicaid (Angeles, 2009). The relationship between service delivery in health coverage and containing health costs is of utmost importance. Committed public administrators can make any health p
Introduction Nursing can be described as the science of human health bionetwork whose orientation is on human problems. The scope of the nursing profession is based on the fulfilment of healthcare needs of the community through building effective collaborations with the community. According to Reed and Shearer (2007), nurses are required to support the society in overcoming and adapting to the dynamic environment by optimizing their potential and their role in the healthcare system Whether the health-care services are given at the hospital or at home, the effects of the disease to the family, and also those of the family to the patient are ultimately the considerations of the nurse. Besides caring for the patient, the nurse ought to consider his/her health by avoiding fatigue under all circumstances, as this condition has been evidenced as being harmful both to the nurse and the patient. On this basis, nursing science can be considered as the science of personal and familial health ecology (Donaldson, 2002). Main Discussion Since the family is among the fundamental entities of the society, it is considered as the central focus for attention by the nurse. As noted by Weiss et al (2002), the nurse tries to investigate the general impact of the sickness or welfare towards the social system before employing the appropriate procedures of combating the ailment. This implies that, the nurse should be well informed about the national health system like the most popular health problems in the community, as well as the national health objectives and strategies to deal with common diseases. Harrington et al (2005) noted that, social environment and health are highly related, since human health ecology is based on environment, circumstances and family health trends inclusive of all type of social stratification. As a result, such roles of the nurse require him/her to have rich knowledge on health science, change theories and crisis management strategies. In this regard, nursing science can be considered as being largely embedded on familial heath ecology. As noted by Donaldson (2002), nursing science is largely concerned with human health, which remains inseparable from the environment. Nursing, as an expertise service and as a basic part of the health service is usually considered as an instrument and science in giving comprehensive bio-psycho-social-cultural tending care to individuals and the community at large. Omery et al (1995) argues that, nursing offers support to the individuals who undergo weakness as a result of inabilities acquired from the environment. Basically, nursing assistance is aimed at providing key health services to instill change in the health-care system which in turn enables families to
This paper explores the life and religious traditions of the Dalai Lama, and describes how he exemplified the Buddhism tradition. According to Smith (243), Dalai Lama was a political and religious leader of Tibet. He was selected to head the Tibet State at a very young age (16 years), but later went into exile. Despite the numerous hardships and challenges he faced, he never gave up. He went ahead to advocate for freedom and managed to prove himself as a political and spiritual leader of the Tibet people. Several people regard Dalai Lama as both a godly king and a living Buddha. The increased love that Dalai Lama expressed for his people prompted him to draft several letters which he sent to different states such as Britain and America with the aim of seeking support for changing Tibet from an open State into an independent or sovereign country. Although his plea was not accepted, this rejection did not prevent him from supporting his people. For instance, he confronted the authorities that had oppressed his people for a very long time. Dalai Lama did not seem to care for the consequences that would follow as a result of his engagement in political activities, and was ready to engage in extremely risky activities for the sake of his people. Quite a large number of people opted to follow Dalai Lama when he went into exile. They later helped him to form an alternative democratic government that accommodated educational and cultural institutions (Hattaway 161). The numerous works of Dalai Lama made him to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in the year 1989. This award was mainly as a result of his establishing non-violent policies, and increasing fight for human rights in the country and other areas that had reported high cases of human rights violation. Apart from his participation in global environmental forums, Dalai Lama was always against the use of forceful ways in resolving problems. He expounded the importance of using peaceful means in resolving conflicts and exercising mutual respect and tolerance. His main purpose was to fight for full preservation of all forms of heritages that were valued by fellow Buddhists. When he received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989, he told his people that determination, courage, and truth would help liberate the Tibet people as they continued with their struggle for liberty (Harrington and Zajonc 13). Dalai Lama regards himself as a common Buddhist monk who is preferred by the Tibet people because of his warmth and simplicity. According to him, it is extremely important for people to exercise compassion, love, and forgiveness even in situations that appear very difficult for an individual to practice such virtues. Most of his teachings are based on spiritual enlightenment, and increasing a person’s understanding of the purpose or meaning of life. In addi
