Persuasion is described as deliberately being able to sway another person’s mental position by using communication. The mental position in this case is taken to be the attitude of the person. The major persuasion theory that is mainly recognized is the elaboration likelihood model. Humor is the ability to aggravate laughter as well as offer pleasure. People worldwide react to humor and they are also capable of experiencing humor. People not able to experience humor mainly find it strange and at times irrational. Many scholars have been able to provide theories on the social functions humor offers to the society. (Billig, 2005) Reviewing the humor theory as well as persuasion theory results shows that humor has the potential to bring effective persuasion. For instance, cartoon sketches create an environment of persuasion by producing a cognitive interruption. Humor that is effacing mainly enhances the chances of persuasion by escalating fondness for the source. In this case, how one chooses humor mostly indicates a shared understanding thus shows a set of the same fundamental principles. For instance, students seem to like cartoons and therefore cartoons in their books are associated with a comfortable learning atmosphere. This means, the mood one has in a persuasive communication can be related to the source. Ironic wisecracks increase the chances of persuasion by acting as a disruption from counterarguments. (Holland, 1982, p.212) Humor is likely to be efficient when trying to persuade by establishing positive influence. The persuasion theory argues that when a person has a joyous mood, one will possibly consent to a persuasive communication and most probably approve of minor indications. Humor has the potential to establish such positive effect in a way that it enhances the chances of efficiency of persuasive communication. For example, sales representatives make use of humor to create a relaxed environment to be able to connect with the customer. When the sales representative creates humor one is likely to like them because one is feeling relaxed and at ease. The person is happy that the sales person understands one’s wants and worries while at the same time removing the anxiety out of selling stuff. (Cacioppo, Petty, & Quintanar, 1982, p.623) Humor in persuasion helps the receivers have interest in what one is trying to communicate. In this way, they are able to understand and see one’s good intentions. Humor also helps increase participation in the communication or the message being put across. One gets engaged in what is happening and concentrates on what the other person is talking about. Humor also allows the information being put across disclose fundamental truths. The message is able to become unforgettable to the receiver thus one will be alert at all times. Humor also has a way to make complex information seem easier and accessible to the receiver. Humor provides the necessary entertainment to people allowing them to be rel
Introduction Nucor Steel is one of the leading steel manufacturing and recycling firm in the United States. The corporation enjoys a huge number of non-union employees and billions of turnover per annum. Main text According to Achtmeyer (2005), the company has adopted “two critical objectives” (pp. 3) so as to counter rivalry in the steel industry. These key goals include: Building steel facilities economically and making sure that these steel facilities run productively (Achtmeyer, 2005). The corporation treats each of its established facilities independently and has a short organizational structure so as to attain these objectives. Moreover, employees working at Nucor are highly regarded as ‘teammates’ and the company recognizes them as the basic foundation of the company without whom the firm would attain nothing. In addition to this, the company has a well-established rewarding structure for its workers. This remuneration structure is properly connected to the productivity of the company. That is, a reward based on the input to the company (Achtmeyer, 2005). The common employees’ remuneration strategies available at Nucor include:   * Production Incentive Plan – Through this plan, employees under similar workgroups receive regular (weekly) bonuses according to their productivity. The plan is non-discriminating because employees and their supervisors receive (or are denied) equal shares of the bonuses.   * Department Manager Incentive Plan – Departmental managers in charge of production supervisors receive a yearly bonus according to the performance of the whole plant (return on investment) within a particular facility where they were based.   * Non-
Numerous names of golfers were perpetrated in the history of golf. However, such dedication to this play as was revealed by Tiger Woods, made him the greatest golfer of all times. This outstanding person managed to greatly advance the image and respectability of golf thus acquiring the recognition of fans and awards from professionals. Owing to the fact that golf has become a major part of my life, Tiger Woods has become the core incentive for me to increase my own progress. He is one of those persons that inspired me for achieving greater results in sport and in other spheres of life. Even those who are not keen on golf know the name of this golfer, as he became the youngest golfer winning four major tournaments of golf. At the age of fifteen, Woods won the U. S. Junior Amateur Title; three years later he captured the U. S. Amateur Championship. His strong will and exclusive talent showed that age and experience are of secondary importance in golf. For me, Tiger Woods has become a life buoy in difficult situations; he made me think about the purpose of my life. With the appearance of Tiger Wood in the golf arena, the sport witnessed considerable change. Hence, promoted the quality of the game and discovered the game for people of all nationalities and races. Woods founded the golf courses for children from low-income families thus providing them with high-quality equipment. Woods’ charity campaign showed his extreme love and devotedness to the sport being the key for a successful and qualified player. . Woods showed the golf is an intellectual game that requires professionalism and creativity. Tiger Woods represents a model of an athlete I dream to become. Numerous wins and awards were deserved by him in an honest competition His hard work and effort taught me that one cannot surrender to destiny or just drift. Now I am convinced that all those frustrations and falls in my life were a lesson for me to stand up and keep on fighting for the things that I love most of all. This greatest golfer considerably influenced my lifestyle and broadened my concept of the essence of sport. I consider that golf is not only the way for the development of physical health and strength; it has become a spiritual charge for my mind and soul. I learned from Woods that everything is possible if you believe in yourself. Looking at him, I was assured that magic exists so that even a mere boy can become the conqueror of the sports world. Being a pop icon for most golf fans, Woods introduced golf from the philosophical angle thus depriving it of a boring image. He taught me that sport is not a mere competition but a new concept of life. Most people can say that there is always a limit for talents and possibilities but, despite that, Tiger is still eager to improve himself and his game policy;
Introduction In this summary of articles it is the intention to explore through citation to five articles the wider context of professional development within health care services. The choice of articles reflect training and development for health workers, and in so doing, I have chosen four articles that consider the development of ambulance personnel. My fifth and final article concerns accountability for professionals in health care, in that, as in the first articles we are made aware of professionalization through training, it is also just as important to be ‘accountable’ when things do not go well, and services fail to meet optimum levels of care. In considering the articles through their dialogue and impact, it is anticipated that one will learn that, each has its own particular ‘voice’ towards its reader, but, in hindsight a collection of articles can also, provide sound clarity towards understanding a wider subject, in our case: professionalization through training, development and ultimately, accountability. Reference Ball, L. (2005). Setting the scene for the paramedic in primary care: a review of the literature; Emergency Medical J 2005; 22:896-900. Web. Describe This article explores the implications for the development of the paramedic workforce in the United Kingdom. In so doing, the author intends to explore and guide the reader through the plethora of complex and workforce development issues that will be required in a 21 st century service. Moreover, the necessity to engage paramedics in managing, engaging and ensuring that they are proactive in team work, management systems, the wider complexity of moving towards holistic levels of care that engage a multifaceted health care team. Evaluate The methodology for the research data in the article was captured from a qualitative method, in that exploration of literature captured within a short timeframe was used to affect the wider exploration of development of the paramedical services in the UK. This information was totally literature based: reports, academic papers, educational and service led. However, the author was also careful to ensure that his raw data was a reflection of practices ongoing in the service, by a complementary secondary data gathering system of holding a series of meetings with key professionals at the frontline of this service, as also, those who manage the service from direct control; but, interestingly he also engaged some of the professional educators who were responsible for ensuring that training and development to ensure professionalization was a current ongoing process. The process engaged a wide ‘snap shot’ of professionals, from the frontline to the management teams in a typical service arrangement in the UK. Ethically, the research provided no obstacles as actual service users were not engaged, but, the fairness of the ‘gr

When do healthcare providers report the occurrence of tuberculosis? Healthcare providers report the occurrence of tuberculosis within 24 hours after diagnosis. According to Marais et al. (2013), tuberculosis is a highly communicable disease, and thus healthcare providers should report such occurrences even after clinical suspicion. Therefore, given the sensitivity of tuberculosis, healthcare providers look for different issues, which act as pointers to an infection. If any smear test for acid-fast bacilli is positive, then the involved care providers should report the occurrence of TB. Besides, any positive NAA test for M. tuberculosis complex requires healthcare providers to report to the relevant authorities. Any child under the age of five with positive TST is an indicator of TB infection, and thus reports should be made. Moreover, any form of treatment that requires more than two anti-TB drugs is also a potential threat and a pointer to tuberculosis occurrence, and thus it should e reported. Different locations have disparate requirements, but any form of TB occurrence should be reported. This requirement includes any form of the medical outcome on TB medication including discontinuation or completion among others. Finally, patients suspected to have TB should be reported even in cases where there is no bacteriologic confirmation of the disease. The general rule when dealing with TB is that prevention is better than cure. Explain how the spread of tuberculosis occurs among people? As aforementioned, TB is a highly communicable disease, as it spreads from one person to the other via air. If a person with TB coughs, sneezes, or does anything that involves the mouth including talking, the germs that cause the disease to get into the air. Therefore, any other person who breathes in the air with the germs s/he gets an infection. This aspect perhaps makes TB one of the most contagious diseases in contemporary times. However, if one is infected, it does not mean that s/he has the disease. After infection, the body’s immune system fights the germs and in most cases, people do not fall sick. For sickness to occur, repeated and prolonged contact with the person suffering from TB is required. Therefore, in most cases, TB affects family members or people close to a TB patient because this scenario creates the necessary environment for transmission. Based on this insight, TB spreads quickly in poorly ventilated and crowded places. However, people with weak immune systems can have full-blown TB after minim
A medical mistake is an inconvenient truth of the healthcare business and a subject that is constantly debated due to its devastating influence on clinical outcomes. Medical mishaps typically occur due to a strategy being executed incorrectly or a means of execution being planned poorly (Charles et al., 2017). Medication mistakes can also happen during preventive healthcare procedures, such as when a clinician fails to consider a client’s allergy when delivering treatment. Thus, the sophistication of a misdiagnosis can vary significantly and express itself in any phase of treating patients, from admittance to release and outpatient treatment (Charles et al., 2017). For example, a case study scenario in a nursing facility where a client was diagnosed with nausea and vomiting symptoms and was administered with doses of pegfilgrastim but should have received filgrastim. While both drugs are given via injection and are designed to increase the formation of white blood cells, the prescription filgrastim can be used daily. Unfortunately, the victim died eleven days later at the care setting after repeated administrations of pegfilgrastim. In addition, the client developed respiratory intoxication due to acute severe lung injury. A more traditional approach would have concentrated on personal guilt by blaming the physician who diagnosed the patient for the treatment despite the absence of a consent document. However, the successive RCA identified various errors within the organizational characteristics, such as the diagnostic section’s susceptible scheduling methodology that recognized ailments by onsite checks rather than comprehensive diagnostic checks. Other contributors included contextual work parameters, such as the nurse who alleged the mistake but did not consult with colleagues since multiple diseases present symptoms of nausea and vomiting. Therefore, this prompted the institution to institute a sequence of structural alterations to minimize the possibility of another similar blunder occurring in the future. Numerous orthopedic initiatives, groups, and commissions have been established to assess healthcare outcomes and prevent potential clinical complications. Comprehensive root cause assessment and remediation have grown in popularity. When properly conducted, RCA reduces operational mistakes across a wide variety of specializations. Evidence-Based Strategies to Address the Sentinel Event Poor diagnostic within medical institutions has been a prevalent issue in healthcare. An emphatic body of research has revealed that the client medical data storage process is complex when individuals lack understanding on which concerns to address, whom to contact when their situation evolves, and what comprises severe symptoms (Pelaccia et al., 2020). Additionally, it is uncertain who is accountable for handling the loop on medical reports and recommendations and communicating follow-u
Introduction In modern civilization, the notion of self-interest is the defining and foundational concept behind the structures that shape the economic and political realities of society. The widespread assumption of self-interest assumes that it leads to failure due to irrationality, thus eventually causing failure at economic and government levels. While markets may be driven by self-interest, the government is theoretically presumed to maintain public interests. This report will analyze the self-interest paradigm in the context of the Medicare program with subsequent legal and political implications. Concept The self-interest paradigm implies that human behavior is also aimed at promoting and enhancing self-interest. There is no essential difference between public or political entities and private or economic agents such as corporations. It is assumed that everyone is rational with the purpose of assessing benefits and losses when evaluating any potential action. Politicians, who in theory are meant to serve the public interest, also act in order to maximize self-interest. Thus, using proper triggers, politicians can be influenced by interest groups offering financial incentives, which manipulates regulatory and legislative processes (Feldstein, 2006). Public officeholders can be self-interested entities due to unconscious motivators, not necessarily due to deliberate and calculated actions. The maximization of utility is a subconscious psychological process that increases incidences of self-interested behavior beyond awareness of the public figures. Regulators are imperfect at enforcing public interest or may fail to do so at all when attempting to manage corporate or social behavior. The responsibility of monitoring and enforcement is spread amongst legislators, constituents, and private consumers. Ethical standards are determined by a combination of self-interest behavior and social norms. Politicians seek to maintain a public image of honorability and integrity, which sets boundaries to the extent they are willing to promote self-interest through ethical behavior. It is assumed that self-interest will always overwhelm direct concern for public welfare. Therefore, public officials will act with concern for others or the principle of fairness only in situations where it benefits their self-interest as well (Zamir & Sulitzeanu‐Kenan, 2017). In politics, this principle results in organized lobbyists to pro
Biography Branson was born on 18 -07-1950 in UK, he is acknowledged globally due to the accomplishment of the Virgin trademark, which he established by himself. It currently encompasses more than 360 companies (virgin.com, 2010). He is currently in nuptial with Joan Templeman. His preceding nuptials to Kristen Tomassi gave him two children thus Holly and Branson. He was born into in a fine family, being the initial child of his four siblings. He had dyslexia, a circumstance that disallowed him from getting decent grades. He excelled in sports instruction, most notably swimming (virgin.com, 2010). All in all, he rose from modest beginnings, often an object of scorn and changed himself into a thriving capitalist and entrepreneur. He possesses the Virgin brand that was registered in 1989 and listed in UK as an asset corporation. The name came from one of his commerce acquaintances when they were establishing a music allotment house. They chose to adopt it due to their relative rawness in the ventures they were undertaking. It should be noted that most corporations operating under the Virgin name are individual entities, although he owns either mainstream or marginal stake in some of them (virgin.com, 2010). He has leased patents of his trademark to some of these companies after they procure divisions from him. Career His prowess in commerce was manifested early on after he recognized a publication for students when he was only 16. He received four pounds from his mum, which he used to cover telephone and postal expenses. It was an inter instruct periodical which paid attention to students, which sold promotion space to probable employing companies, politicians, scholarly persons and many other celebrities. It was successful, making them sizeable amounts in the process. His desires for a fresh confront and the predisposition of setting flamboyant dreams for himself saw him branch out his business widely. He envisioned another commerce opening when the administration abolished initial agreement on retail prices (virgin.com, 2010). None of the obtainable retail outlets presented discounts on LPs; hence he decided to venture into it. He received many tasks and decided to wind down publication of the Student. Music and Entertainment He went full throttle into commerce in 1970 by establishing a mail order corporation that procured and re-distributed cut-out records. He achieved this by buying them in large quantities, then travelling to transaction outlets in London consequently selling them. The workers of Student publication were recruited to administer this novel venture. He made as much as necessary money and bought a shop to house his allotment business, which was run from the boot of his automobile (Dearlove, 110). Two years
