Medical treatment and self-care are the questions that cause a great number of arguments and disapprovals, primarily because of the cost of the mistake in this particular sphere. The whole structure should work and breathe as one specific organism, but that is not always possible, and everyday things raise inexcusable and terrifying accidents. The awful story of Sue Sheridan, whose son became disabled because of the failure of needed analysis in proper time, and whose husband died because labs with concluded malignant tumor has been lost, showed how awful things could be performed. Sue’s husband had lost his initial chance to receive the treatment at the right time because of a lack of communication between medical facilities. Both accidents tended to be a disgusting example of communication failure and the absence of coordinated teamwork from medical staff. According to this situation, my own opinion centers on the total rejection of medical staff to perceive people’s worrying and suggestions as to something that needed to be worked on. If parents’ worries were heard and noticed, Sue’s son could leave a life of a healthy boy. There is a clear understanding of ordinary people’s insolvency and unprofessionalism but in my opinion, let patients and their families have a right of word and hypochondriac in case to solve the problem and save the life. It is also significant that such organizations as PACK or W-H-O appeared and try their best to make a difference in current circumstances. All these accidents demand the reconstruction of various stages of provided medical care. However, the primary and most deliberate thing to discuss o is the competence and willingness to help the staff. As an example, it is possible to discuss the layers of the Clinical Judgement Measurements Model, provided for the improvements in nurses’ work. It suggests recognizing and analyzing the cues, then evaluating the possible and most likely hypothesis, generating possible solutions, taking actions, and finally comparing outcomes with expected results. All medical staff needs to be able to analyze the situations from all perspectives, including the voice of the patient and family members. The essential thing to remember is that there is nothing as crucial as the patient’s life and safety; that is why all decisions and all evaluations should be forward in this direction.
Maintaining high and sustainable economic growth rates with all round adequacy of economic indicators has proven to be a difficult, or rather, impossible task for economies all over the globe. It has been observed that an economy may do well on the key economic indicators like the nominal GDP but it will have a number of economic indicators letting the nominal GDP down. Most countries are struggling with issues like unemployment, poor balance of payments, social imbalance, etc. For instance, an economy may be doing well in nominal GDP terms but it may be faced with enormous problems like high inflationary rates which threaten the sustainability of economic status. The United States is not an exception to this. Despite its enviable performance, the United States faces seemingly insurmountable problems that threaten its future economic status. This paper looks into the current economic status of the U.S. and discusses the most contentious issues of the economy in greater depth. The U.S. has enjoyed admirable publicity all over the world as the world’s largest economy. This is, mainly, due to its staggering nominal GDP w
Introduction Wealth inequality can play an important role in how people see themselves, their status, and their achievements. For individuals who do not have much money, comparison to wealthy people may be emotionally harmful. The information presented below will show that wealth inequality can lead to aggressiveness and inappropriate behavior, as well as make people feel bad about themselves. However, one can argue that imbalance does not affect all people’s mental health because many of them have no economic problems. The research question of the paper is: Does wealth inequality lead to a poor mental state in individuals? The main thesis of this paper is that because of wealth inequality, individuals can start to show problems with self-esteem and self-respect. Effects of Wealth Inequality Several arguments support the idea that wealth inequality can lead to a poor mental state in individuals. First, Vedantam, Shah, Boyle, and Cohen (2019) show that wealth inequality can have a psychological effect on people. For example, the authors report that people can become sad or aggressive when they witness inequality. Second, imbalance of any kind can lead to a poor mental state. The study by Yu (2018) shows that people are sensitive to inequality on all levels because they do not want to feel different from each other. Third, wealth disparities are directly related to depression, which means that they affect individuals’ mental health highly (Patel et al., 2018). However, there is an alternative point of view on the topic. For example, Sommet, Morselli, and Spini (2018) agree that wealth inequality may harm individuals’ mental health but add that the problem is not important for people that do not have financial problems. Unwealthy groups of the population may feel unhappy and have a negative emotional reaction when they compare themselves to others. However, many people who have economic stability do not experience such problems (Sommet et al., 2018). It means that wealth disparities may not lead to a poor mental state in all people; they only affect some individuals. Although this perspective is reasonable and should be considered, one has to understand that the majority of the world’s population is not wealthy. Neate (2017) reports that 1% of the richest people in the own world half of their wealth. It means that the rest of the global popula
Introduction The Children’s Institute, Inc. (CII) is a premier agency providing pro bono emergency intervention services primarily designed for child victims of family violence. Since its inception, the CII at the Compton city location, south of Los Angeles, has rendered children services to over 27,000 affected minors in the county (Children’s Institute, Inc. 1). The services provided include counseling to enable vulnerable children to recover from trauma, empowerment of caregivers, and social support, among others. The CII’s vision is founded on a three-R model, i.e., “recovery, resiliency, and readiness” (Children’s Institute, Inc. 3). It aspires to help affected minors heal from trauma, foster resiliency, and prepare them for a prosperous academic and social future. This essay examines the CII’s operations in the context of social work values and the administrative and micro-level steps for resolving any conflict between the CII’s policies and professional values. Policies/Operations Reflecting the Value-based of the Social Work Profession The professional code of ethics prescribes three core value bases that represent the social work profession, i.e., human rights, social justice, and professional integrity (British Association of Social Work [BASW] 10). Upholding human rights means “respect for the inherent worth and dignity” of all individuals while social justice entails promoting equity, fairness, and diversity (BASW 16). The professional integrity theme requires social workers to preserve professional values in their conduct and practice. One way in which the CII’s operations reflect the value-base of the social work profession is through its focus on the whole child or the entire family. A core principle of the human rights value base is the treatment of a person as a whole. The holistic approach entails the recognition of the whole individual in the context of his or her family, community, or natural settings (BASW 15). This means that social work interventions should consider all facets of an individual’s life. CII’s operations aim at three agency outcomes, namely, recovery, resiliency, and readiness (Children’s Institute, Inc. 3). This family-centered approach is formulated to treat the whole child or family. It supports recovery from unpleasant childhood experiences, resiliency and prevention, and preparedness for academic and social success. The agency uses an integrated service model encompassing clinical services for trauma victims, child/youth development services (resiliency), family support (parenting education), and early childhood services. It provides family support through ‘Project Fatherhood’, child prepares for kindergarten, evidence-based mental health services for vulnerable groups, and youth development to improve social skills. These services reflect the principle of treating each individual as a whole, which underlies the human rights value bas
“Perceptions of illness in individuals with anorexia nervosa” is a study conducted to examine how individuals with anorexia nervosa (AN) perceive the illness as compared to laymen and women. According to the authors, understanding the way psychological factors function to influence the way individuals respond to illnesses is important in explaining variations in behaviors related to illnesses and in developing effective intervention measures to improve patient outcomes. In addition, there are gaps in knowledge because the available literature mainly focuses on illness perceptions in conditions such as diabetes and asthma, but little focus has been dedicated to mental illnesses. This assertion justified the need to conduct the study. 95 participants with eating disorders were selected randomly from two sources and completed the Revised Illness Perception Questionnaire (IPQ-R) (Holliday, Wall, Treasure, & Weinman, 2005). In the control group, 80 laymen and women were selected randomly to participate in the study and they completed a modified IPQ-R questionnaire to elicit their perceptions towards AN. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 10 for Windows. The results showed that people with AN see their condition as chronic and highly distressing with numerous associated negative consequences. In addition, they held the view that it was difficult to prevent or cure their condition. On the other side, the control group perceived AN as a highly preventable and curable health condition. These findings are important because due to their perception, individuals with AH had associated poor mental health and poor functioning. This understanding could be applied in the management of AN. The laymen and women in the control group conceptualized AN as simply a “sliming disease” that can be changed easily (Holliday et al., 2005). However, such perceptions can contribute significantly to stigmatization associated with AH leading to poor patient outcomes. “Anorexia nervosa in young men: A cohort study” is a cohort study conducted to assess the background and outcomes of AN among young men. This study was necessary to fill the current knowledge gaps as the available studies on AN approach =a 10:1 female-to-male prevalence ratio” (Lindblad, Lindberg, & Hjern, 2006). In other words, AN in males is normally considered as a copy of the same in females and this assumption can affect treatment approaches and outcomes. 61 men born with a history of AN were selected randomly and compared with the general population, specifically based on social outcomes, socio-economic backgrounds, health history, and other variables. Data were analyzed using the SAS 8.0 software package for Windows. The results showed that some differences exist between men suffering from AN and the general male population without AN. Differen
American popular culture has been formed with the help of television, radio, music, and other means that contributed greatly to the establishment of a specific attitude and ideas in minds of the contemporary citizens. The middle of the 20 th century saw the integration of rock’n’roll with the modern culture, while the 1980s presented an increase in music videos development (Cullen, 2001, pp. 234-235). Radio and television are the primary sources of electronic advertising; in this respect, every means has its advantages and drawbacks as radio is capable of bringing the information supported effectively with music and sounds, while the television-based approach requires bright images with some meaningful content. “More and more corporations learned how to market consumer goods and services internationally” (Stearns, 2001, p.132). New technologies made advertising an integral part of the consumerist society. The global community has experienced the impact of advertising and the development of popular culture in terms of change of cultural values and establishment of the international ones. Advertising has influenced a lot of concepts in the life of ordinary people. Evaluation, quantity, and desire are three trends promoted by the electronic media. You should know that before using some good your body was ugly (teeth were not white enough, the soup was not tasty, dishes were not clean), whereas this product made everything right. You are suggested to have an excessive quantity of something (according to advertisements, you should have two drops of chewing gum rather than one which would be enough). Desire is over the need which involves buying products that were not considered an integral part before. People that had never thoughts about jogging are involved into this because of advertisements of different athletic outfit; food, drinks, and events are promoted on radio and television which presupposes a need to consume these units. Exponential advertisement expansion by utilization of electronic media (Internet in particular), has progressively enhanced consumerism growth as the main cultural living means. America and other developed countries have become well-established in consumerism. Work and social responsibility are parts of advertising because many people are involved in this business without bearing any responsibility for developing false concepts and establishing false cultural and moral values. People should be aware of the genuine properties of this or that product, whereas few producers are interested in informing the consumers of the dangerous or damaging impact of consuming some of their products. In this respect, happiness is the only concept that is preserved
In 1993, 27 European countries came together to form a union that was aimed at increasing trade between them. The signing of the various treaties necessary for cooperation of these countries saw the birth of one of the biggest economic powerhouses. The fact that the union has a great organization and a parliament that controls its operation has seen it having a great impact on the global economy. The same has been duplicated in the political arena as the union has one of best-controlled economies in the world. The union has also controlled the commercial activities of these countries, and it is a big contributor to the commercial activities in the world. However, in the recent years the going for this union has not been in its best of the forms (Kahn 2008). Global economic crises have had a great influence at it and have caused some of the members to join hands to form other unions in an aim of fighting the arising crises. The resultant of this is the formation of two unions, the G20 and the G2, both with an aim of fighting the global crises. The aim of this essay is to try to find out whether the formation of these unions poses a threat on European Union. Arguments in the essay will be aimed at deriving a wide range of information of the effects the new unions has on the global economy, as well as European Union. Facts about the activities of these unions will be revealed and the effect they have on the European Union will also be accessed. A conclusive conclusion will be arrived at that seeks to show whether the European Union is facing any threats from the new emerging unions. The G20 union is an organization of 19 countries and 1 union with an aim of bringing together the industrialized countries with the emerging markets. Dialogue is a valued asset of this organization as it bids to solve the problem of global economic crises. On the other hand, G2 is an informal association between two countries that is United States and china to promote a bilateral relationship between them (Dizikes 2009). To start with, the global financial crisis that has been experienced in the recent years is a globalized affair. By this, I mean that it needs a combination of different countries of the world to solve it, and the G20 and G2 offer this solution as they incorporate members from different regions of the world. Members range from Asia, America, Europe, Africa, and even Australia. Since not all economies of the world were involved in the decline of the economies, incorporating all of them means that the countries can share the resources left out by the crisis. On the other hand, the European Union is a combination of countries in Europe, the lack of diversity with other countries of the work means that very little can be shared globally since all the countries have almost identical economies (El-Agraa 2007). The resultant of this is that the accomplishments by the G20 a
Situation Analysis. When Nintendo Company was initially launched in 1800s, it was manufacturing and selling playing cards. The company diversified its production line later to produce electronic games to overcome the stiff completion it was facing by then. Nowadays, the company specializes in designing and selling of motion-sensor control games mainly for children. The company produces Nintendo wii, Nintendo DS video consoles, Nintendo 64, Virtual boy, Pocket boy, color boy among other children games. The company had dominated in children games as early as in 1970s. Nowadays, the company has started producing games for older people. Nintendo is a Japanese founded enterprise and it mainly sells its products to local customers from its local agents as well as to its international clients who are based in U.S. and Europe. Prior to last summer, the company had strategized appropriately and released 16 million units of video-games that it had anticipated to sell during the peak session of Christmas through its selling agents as well as online to its overseas customers. However, the sales of 3DS failed to sell as anticipated despite 3DS products having ever recorded a great performance for the past 30 years. The company did not record satisfactory sale of its product, despite the Company offering its products on the eve of Christmas which is the peak period for sale the of the 3DS games. Despite the management cutting down the prices considerably to encourage its customers to purchase the 3DS games, the sale of the products was low. The following discussion will comprise on the 3DS market, competition, distribution channel, microenvironment as well as its historical performance (Reisinger par.3). Market Summary Nintendo Company sells its products to its local customers as well as its international customers who mainly reside in Europe and United States. Despite the recent decrease in its sale, Nintendo was placed the 3 rd best company in performance in 2009. The company is the market leader in the video gaming industry. It recorded a sale of over 30 million copies of New Super Mario Bros, Wii Sports Resort as well as wii fit Plus. The reason behind the decrease in the sales of the company’s profit in the recent past years is the continuous decline in the sale of Wii hardware as well as the DS software. The sale of the Wii hardware has been eroded by emergence of rival products such as PS3 and Xbox tha
Introduction Women play a greater role in the society today; their global population is more than that of men hence making them very important. The important duties undertaken by women in the society cannot be ignored because of the fact that their participation in provision on labor has increased over the years. Due to globalization, women have taken up new roles in the fast changing society as a means of survival (Chowdhry, 2008). The role of women in the family today has changed drastically with more women in the developed and developing nations taking the role of bread winners in their families. This change has been brought about by globalization and changes in the society especially in the developing nations. Global Women In Hochschild’s book we get to witnesses the role of women in different societies around the globe. The book discusses on issue to deal with feminization of migration, in the book the author delves into the issue of work and the effect on the lives of women in rich and poor nations. Research has shown that more women are in work today than they were twenty years ago; this paradigm shift in the society has seen more men out of work today and changes roles of women in the family (Antrobus, 2004). For instance in the rich nations like the United States, women have taken up career jobs and today they make up close to 40% of the workforce there. As a result, traditional role of women as care givers to their children has been left to nannies and maids from poor countries such as Philippines and Sri Lanka. These women migrate from their countries due to poverty and low wage income since unemployment levels in their countries’ is high and their husbands cannot support their families (Ehrenreich, 2004). Inequality and poverty in third world countries push women to work in developed foreign nations as nannies, maids or sex workers to meet the needs of their families and themselves. In the wealthier countries there is a care deficit and therefore foreign maids are hired to fill this void, they provide care to children of women who have devoted their time to employment. The change of women roles in the society today has created negative effects such as deprivation of maternal love on the side of migrant women nannies towards their families. Some of the migrant nannies, maids and sex workers are exploited by their bosses through mistreatment, sexual slavery; all these acts display an underside of globalization (Ehrenreich, 2004). Issues facing Global Women Hochschild’s book takes an in-depth look into women’s issues through life in the perspective of employment and care giving towards their families. The book contains several essays with examples of how women go about in realizing their roles in society and several challenges they face. The first essay we going to analyze is entitled love and gold, in this essay we encounter a woman by the name of Rowena who hails from Philippines. She provides care to a child in USA as a nanny in order for her to feed her family back at home through remittances. Some of the challenges that concern Ro
From the 2013 inauguration speech of President Barrack Obama, it is evident that a lot of focus was given to the aspect of patriotism among the American public (‘Inaugural Address by President Barack Obama’ par. 1). For instance, the president begins by attaching great importance to the constitution. He asserts that the process of inaugurating a president is part and parcel of the constitutional order to elevate the status and sovereignty of a nation. The audience can immediately acknowledge that inaugurating an American president is not a personal endeavor but a constitutional requirement that began over two centuries ago when America gained its independence. The president also demonstrates that he is not more important than the founding fathers of this nation. To a large extent, the president blends his speech by complimenting the contribution of all citizens in the wellbeing of the country. Besides, he does not forget to mention the existence of God in his speech. He infers that the aspect of equality among human beings is the intention of God himself because he never intended to make other human beings more superior than others (Gergen par. 4). The president’s speech has also pointed out the issue of economic growth. Both a modern economy and free market are vital towards the growth and development of a gi
