Over the past year and a half, the notion of change and continuous development in the nursing practice had become of utmost importance, as the global pandemic outbreak forced both practitioners and patients to embrace modified approaches to care. Such an immediate and large-scale need to redefine patient care has understandably raised a series of ethical concerns. Currently, I do my best to use the course materials to seek answers and ethically reasonable solutions to patient care, but the most meaningful insight I have gained so far is that every solution to an ethical dilemma remains ambiguous. For example, during one of my interactions with the patient, I was asked whether the hospital had the policy to avoid face-to-face interaction during the pandemic with the help of video examinations. I had to address my supervisors, who explained that at the time, this option was unavailable due to the high risks of data security breach and lack of corporate video software to contact the patients without using personal accounts. After this interaction, I decided to dwell on the ethical implications of replacing face-to-face interaction with the medical examiner. On the one hand, the practice of remote patient supervision should be perceived as considerate given the risks of COVID-19 infection during face-to-face interactions. It is natural for public health care to identify ways to modify the principles of accessing care. For example, in the empirical study by Shaw et al. (2020), the researchers decided to compare face-to-face interactions with the instances of video consultations. While estimating that video consultations tend to completely alter the flow of the conversation and level of trust between the patient and the practitioner, the overall prognosis for implementing video consultations is optimistic (Shaw et al., 2020). Based on this evidence, it is reasonable to assume that the gradual shift towards online communication between clinicians and patients is inevitable. For this reason, public institutions need to elaborate on the framework for safe virtual communication by presenting hospital software with limited data access. On the other hand, however, the challenge of embracing digital interaction with patients has a series of potential threats to the practice. One of the primary risks of such a rapid change is the clinicians and patients distancing themselves from the conventional approaches to a medical examination. Once video consultations become widely used by the community, chances are people will be less likely to return to face-to-face interactions due to the convenience of such interaction. Meanwhile, the researchers emphasize that “face-to-face consultation between physician and patient remains the gold standard of clinical care” (Solimini et al., 2021, p. 2). The issue of shifting to telemedicine and remote therapy is also challenged by such factors as informed consent and social discrimination. Indeed, many patients settle for remote examination and consultation without understanding the risks, g
Affirmative action in the United States has a long and mixed history starting with the American Civil War which was fought essentially over the question of the emancipation of African slaves. Since then, many reforms were undertaken by successive governments, some providing a more robust response than the others. This essay compares the civil rights programs and policies of the Truman, Eisenhower and Kennedy Administrations. In the 1940s equal rights for Blacks was still very much a nascent concept with past prejudices and white supremacists dominating much of the popular discourse on racial equality. President Harry S Truman’s term from 1945 to 1953 as the 33rd President was characterized by serious economic and social challenges. Prime amongst these were the actions required for improving the lot of Black America. When Congress passed the retrograde Taft-Hartley Act which effectively empowered factory owners to run their companies in whatever ways they deemed it efficient, it was deplored as a slavery bill by many labor unions. Truman was against this act and had vetoed it which was overturned in the senate. Truman’s actions earned him the ire of right-wing America but still managed to be reelected to office in 1948. On assuming his second term, Truman’s first drive to bring inequality among races was to initiate his Fair Deal proposals (About the White House 7), which called a fair deal for every segment of the population, a call for universal health care, housing act 1949, as also the desegregation of the US armed forces. Truman was a latecomer to the equality question but nonetheless, as the President, he ordered the desegregation of the US armed forces and appointed the first Federal Civil Rights Committee to investigate racial discrimination and was the first sitting President to address The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) (Geselbracht 21). Eisenhower, who succeeded Truman as the 34th President from 1953 to 1961 despite his personal ambivalence to the race question, gave real impetus to the civil rights movement. Eisenhower completed the Truman administration’s initiative of desegregation of the US armed forces. Eisenhower had supported the Brown Vs Board of Education (1954) Supreme Court decision and had pushed for integration of white and black children in Public schools and proposed and signed the Civil Rights Acts of 1957 and 1960 (Pauley 64). The 1957 Civil Rights Act aimed to give blacks the right to vote on an equal basis as the rest of the citizens of America. The Democrats opposed the bill which was then watered down and its enforcement limited. The Act however opened the door for subsequent affirmative action and modification and removed segregation in housing policies. Eisenhower persisted and signed the 1960 Civil Rights Act which expanded the authority of federal judges to protect the voting rights and establish voter electoral r
The civil war that occurred in Sri Lanka has a long history dating back to the early 20 th century. The Tamil and Sinhalese communities which are the two major communities in Sri Lanka started disagreeing on major national issues during the process of preparing the first constitution of the country after the country gained independence from the British colonial rule in 1948. This was followed by confrontational politics on the official national language to be used (Fortna 269). There were ethnic riots experienced in 1956 when the Prime Minister Bandaraike officially approved Sinhala as the official national language. The Tamil community that was in favor of English being used as the official national language revolted leading to ethnic and political confrontations. These confrontations went on and later led to the Civil war that completely ravaged the island nation. This paper will discuss the aftermath of the civil war that happened in Sri Lanka. The decision by the Sri Lankan Government to nationalize all oil companies in the country without any consultation sparked a lot of resistance especially from the Tamil community. The Tamil community immediately formed a parallel state referred to as Tamil Eelam. The late 1960s saw the formation of a revolutionary group known as the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam. Balasingham, who was the brain behind the formation of this group brought together some Tamil youths that were involved in separate activities planned by him (Fortna 278). In collaboration with other revolutionary groups that were emerging each and everyday, a new group known as the New Tamil Tigers was formed in 1972. The Sri Lankan students in the Diaspora also formed another revolutionary group known as the Eelam Revolutionary Organization of Students that sponsored and arranged for all the logistics of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam. These revolutionary movements increased their membership with majority of them being the unemployed youth. This culminated in the formation of a political party known as the Tamil Tigers Liberation Front just before the 1977 general elections. This party was formed to represent the interests of the Tamil Community including language rights. The UNP Party emerged victorious and technically making the Tamil United Front Part as the main opposition party (Fortna, 278). The Tamil community supported the leftist ideologies a thing that really outraged the ruling party. The president elect Junius, Richard Jayawardene from the Sinhalese community started cracking down on Tamils in Sinhalese territories. These developments made the Tamil youths to start forming military gangs that declared war against the Government and the Tamil leaders who attempted to negotiate with the government
Introduction To study the goals and mission of the fire department, I will take the New York City fire department as an example. The fire station is guided by a written goals and objectives stated in the FDNY strategic plan for the 2009-2010. The New York City fire station is for the third time publishing its goals and objectives, enabling it to successfully implement its services to the community. Main text The station had five specific goals and objectives for the year 2009 to 2010. The objectives include improvement on the emergency on the response to the fires, natural disasters and other emergency situations. Second is providing the stations members with the good health and safety. The third goal is to strengthen the development of both the management and the administration. The fourth goal is for the station to increase its services in other region. Lastly, the fire station needs to advance in the fire prevention services and also on the safety teachings methods. The stations objectives are important for the community since the people can benefit from the wide range of services that will ensure less property destruction from fires. Also there will be quick response to the hospital emergencies, harmful material accidents, abnormal disasters, and other situations that requires emergence response. In the year 2007 to 2008, the New York fire station had established a three years Borough commands strategic planning system which had followed the department of bureau operations goals. The fire station had also an objective in the year 2010 of forming Borough commands department that meant to address the queens and Staten Island division, batt
Perception of Creativity Nowadays, literature takes its own place in the life of any person. However, it is not enough to read a book and set it aside. A real reader should pose a lot of questions, seek answers to them and assess the reading. What the author wants to say? What does he discover thanks to his book? By what means does he introduce his idea? Why does he use one or another word? Why does he need them? Do they justify his expectations? Questions, which concern the book, arouse constantly. Every student should learn different critical approaches in order his/her reading will be interesting and fascinating. For example, Literature: Craft and Voice (Volume 3, Drama) written by Nicholas Delbanco and Alan Cheuse is a perfect guide to engage the students in the reading. It offers the students to study critical approache
Racism and sexism can exist without people actually expressing particular personal behaviors that would depict them as racist or sexist persons. An important point brought out by this declaration is that people can propagate discrimination along with the race or sex perspectives without harboring intentions for discrimination or dislike for the race or sex that is on the receiving end of the unintentional behavior or policy. A better way to explain the phenomenon is to look at it as the prejudice that has not gone away as a result of sensitization and the creation of affirmative action programs. It has only taken on different forms of expression and its effects are just the same as they were when the problem was first identified. Reich (1-6) provides an economic rationale for existing discrimination, saying that it will continue to thrive even as various parties seek to demolish any racist existence using ways they seem fit because it benefits the capitalist systems. According to Reich (3), many of the proponents and antagonists of racism are merely playing their part in a bigger game that they are unaware of and the inherent nature of the capitalist system will always ensure that it is the owners of capital who end up as winners in the end. Unfortunately, it happens that the main capital owners in American society are mainly whites. Even as people from other races become emancipated and own capital, their ratio to that of the white capitalists will still remain unbalanced for years to come. The capitalist society thrives by promoting individualism and competitiveness among people and entities. From the onset, the question in any particular situation narrows down to an ‘us/me versus them’ situation. Thus, people will likely work towards ensuring that the gains of economic activities accrue to one of them or to themselves, rather than let ‘others’ have the spoils. In an example put forward by Reich (2), in explaining the counter theory presented by Gary Becker, the author talks of white workers who feel deprived when asked or forced to work alongside black workers. In this case, the white workers use this reason as the basis for demanding monetary compensation for the inconvenienced. However, in the actual counter argument that Reich (3) provides, it is actually the divisions caused by racism that fuel more divisions at the benefit of the capitalists and at the expense of white workers. The irony of this fact is that from a plain onlooker’s point of view, one would assume that white workers would gain by discriminating against blacks and other minority races. This essay will now attempt to bring in another point of view in order to better bring out the ‘us versus them’ mentality that percolates the racism and sexism dogma. Various actions were taken by the government and infused into law by the Congress
Importance of the event for CUD Students The 2019 Career Fair at the Canadian University in Dubai is important for students as it allows them to connect and network with leading industry employers from the biggest corporations in Dubai. The event has stood from companies representing a wide variety of industries and sectors in Dubai’s diversifying and growing economy. Gathering at one venue presents an opportunity for students to seek out internship and career opportunities, while companies search out for potential young talent to join their team. These are the reasons why each year students eagerly await the annual career fair, diligently preparing their CVs. It is both a challenging and exciting experience for students as the career fair offers first glances at professional opportunities and interactions which may very well define their future. Comparing Two Vendors The two vendors to compare from this event are TECOM Group and the Emirates Environmental Group. TECOM is an investment conglomerate of business communities that focuses on a variety of aspects, particularly software development in broadcasting and telecommunications. It includes over 5100 companies and 76,000 employees, focusing on entrepreneurship and infrastructure growth, particularly industrial and research platforms as well as smart cities. Meanwhile, the Emirates Environmental Group is a non-governmental organization consisting of government agencies, corporations, universities, and think tanks, along with individual members passionate about their mission. Their goal is environmental protection and the promotion of sustainable development. The organization is activism-based and does not focus on profitability. Importance of networking Networking has become a vital part of the professional business environment. It helps to establish relationships, both personal and professional that may benefit one’s career growth and development. It can be anything from simple advice to recommending one for a job that could kickstart a successful career. Networking is crucial in a job search since many jobs are not actively advertised and managers like to hire from within or based on a recommendation. According to Forbes, a relay within the industry is just as important since it allows for the exchange of information and ideas among specialists and professionals. In the complexity of modern industry and innovation, all aspects of work could benefit from a range of inputs and discussions to the major problems. Therefore, relay and networking
Society Society is a unity of people who share common values, traditions, and mindsets within one territory and find standard technologies according to their striving. Economy, culture, and society have many ties that define their stage of development. Throughout human history, the economic state of one territorial unit changed the ways people interacted with each other. The type of interactions formed the culture and its rules, norms, and moral values. Society structure depends upon the roles and statuses that have taken root in society. Achieved status and master status have a direct impact on the economic state as people change their areas of interest and occupation. Ascribed status, for instance, the status of women or men, children, or older people, almost always remains stable. Hence, the blocks which build society are flexible enough to ensure the relative stability of human development. Family A social institution is a type of behavior and believes organized to serve a particular purpose. The family is a fundamental institution that shapes the consciousness of children, teenagers, and young people, and it is responsible for passing values from generation to generation. Youth can either accept traditional roles, and statuses or they can neglect them. The process of selecting values determines the culture of new generations. New generations, in turn, influence the development of world society and, therefore, form the trends in economy and culture. One may argue that social institutions are conventional, but young people are the ones who react instantly to the changes in social interaction and implement them within one family. Thus, a family institution is one of the smallest groups in society, but it has the fastest impact on society’s value system. Social Relationship Social relationships hinge on the functions, roles, and statuses obtained within one society. It is necessary to comprehend the difference between a status and a role. Status is one’s position in society, for instance, lawyers, politicians, and big business owners may have a high position. A role is society’s expectations of one’s impact, the rights, and obligations one person may have. For example, politicians are supposed to be the representatives of a particular society; they need to understand their motivation and technologies. Moreover, not all people perform the role due to their statu
Genocide, which is an act of the mass killing of a population, is a brutal crime against humanity and is punishable to the fullest extent of the law. Nevertheless, recent history knows numerous examples when individual peoples were exterminated by massively dominant forces of those who pursued criminal and inhuman goals. According to the existing world legislation adopted in the middle of the 20th century, genocide is associated not only with direct killings. This act also implies attempts to stop the birth of children in a certain group of the population or cause irreparable mental harm (“Convention on the Prevention and Punishment,” 1948). As a historical example, one can discuss the events of 1915-1923, when in Turkey, over a million of the Armenian people living there were exterminated (Alvarez & Bachman, 2016). From the perspective of the legal standard of genocide accepted in the world law, the events in Turkey correspond to the definition of the mass killing of one people by the other one. The Turkish government, supported by the military, outlined a clear policy of killing the Armenian people. Armenian men serving in the army were deported to special battalions and murdered (Alvarez & Bachman, 2016). The entire intelligentsia of the Armenian diaspora, including representatives of the medical and educational spheres, were arrested and killed (Alvarez & Bachman, 2016). Finally, the most vulnerable classes, including older adults, children, and women, were sent to special camps like reservations, where they died of hunger and torture (Alvarez & Bachman, 2016). Such inhuman treatment of a certain nation corresponds to the definition of genocide. It falls under several of its characteristics, including mass extermination, the prevention of births, and the eviction of victims to separate territories (“Convention on the Prevention and Punishment,” 1948). Therefore, the events in Turkey at the beginning of the 20th century are an example of a crime against humanity and one of the saddest pages in Armenian history.
Employee motivation is one of the key factors contributing to effective work. To achieve the greatest motivation of their employees, personnel management departments implement various measures. This allows not only to achieve impressive results but also to reach high levels of employee satisfaction (“5 motivation theories,” 2021). However, not all theories can be applied in all contexts due to their peculiarities. This essay aims to analyze motivational management theories to select those that are more appropriate in the healthcare context. The simplest and most common in practice is the incentive theory. The basis of such an approach is the use of some influence: monetary in the form of bonus payments, and moral in the form of praise (“5 motivation theories,” 2021). The positive side of this method is its simplicity and many opportunities for implementation. McClelland’s theory is based on three necessities that workers can have. Each person has either a need for achievement, power, or affiliation (“5 motivation theories,” 2021). Following this theory, it is necessary to research the characteristics of employees, which somewhat complicates the implementation of this method. On the other hand, after conducting such an investigation, the measures applied can be more targeted. Finally, another approach is the theory of competence, according to which there is a need for people to express themselves in front of colleagues (“5 motivation theories,” 2021). If a person succeeds in demonstrating their skills, they gain the opportunity to feel competent, which allows them to act more confidently. While these theories are general and should apply to various organizations, the healthcare context imposes specific conditions. First of all, it is associated with hard work, so human resources are used extremely intensively (Afolabi et al., 2018). In this context, of all the considered methods, the theory of competence is the least suitable. Specialists in this area are more focused not on showing skills in front of colleagues but on performing a responsible task under challenging cond
