The given assessment will primarily focus on the Armenian genocide of the 20th century, where the Ottoman Empire imposed mass-scale oppression and aggression invoked by a small resistance upon the entire Armenian population. The given historical instance was a controversial and intricate one since it was not as widely recognized as it should have been. It is a case of genocide since it matches the precise definition of the UN. It is important to note that the term genocide needs to have five major elements in order to be recognized as such. According to Article II of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide of the United Nations, genocide is a process of killing members of a religious, racial, ethnic, and national group (UN, 2021). It also involves causing severe mental and bodily damage to the members of a group, intentionally imposing conditions of life, which leads to the destruction of the group, transfer of children, and prevention of the latter’s birth (UN, 2021). The historical events of the Armenian genocide took place in 1915, when the Ottoman Turkish Empire killed at least 1.5 million Armenians (Mangassarian, 2016). The instance was triggered after the Battle of Sarikamish, where the entire population of Armenia was out under the blame for treason. The majority of the population was destroyed through death marches, and many of these people were old individuals, women, and children. The majority of the latter two groups were transferred to Muslim families and countries (Alayarian, 2018). One of the main issues of the genocide was the fact that it was not properly recognized immediately, and Turkey is still in denial of the massacre events (Alayarian, 2018). Therefore, the Armenian genocide matches the definition of the crime because a particular group was deliberately killed by imposing conditions of life, which lead to physical destruction. In addition, children were transferred to other Muslim groups, which also showcases the key features of genocide. I chose the instance of the Armenian genocide because it was widely unrecognized, with Turkey still continuing to do so in the present moment. One should be aware that the case matches almost all definitions of genocide, but only 32 countries recognize the historical events as such, which is why I decided to illuminate the issues by shedding light on the given discussion (Alayarian, 2018). In addition, the Armenian genocide left a major scar on Armenian culture and nation, and its relationship with Turkey is highly complicated due to the latter’s denial. It has both direct and indirect connections to the readings because th
Personal conception of nursing Several nursing theories serve as basics of nursing as a practice to make it a success. Through these theories, there exists fundamental guidance and stipulated directions in structuring the profession coupled with research on nursing and education. Moreover, through these theories, one can easily put a clear cut between nursing and other professions (Dahnke & Dreher, 2011). Nursing theories also play various roles including defining independent functions of nursing and common terms to be used by nurses when communicating with other professionals in other health related fields (Cruz, n.d.). On the other hand, curricula that aid in nursing education cannot be designed if they are not based on nursing theories. In carrying out nursing research, new ideas and knowledge emerge through these theories. When nurses are carrying out a study on a particular field, nursing theories assist them to discover or identify knowledge gaps. In research, nursing theories also assist in offering approaches to identify questions of study, select viable methods of conducting the research, interpret findings correctly, and validate interventions to be initiated by the researcher (Cruz, n.d.). Metaparadigms of nursing stipulate that a “person” is the individual receiving the nursing care (Cruz, n.d.). As stipulated by the nursing ethics, clients should be handled with due care, respect, privacy, and the nurse should do anything within the reach of his/her profession to save lives. There are various attributes, characteristics, and actions that a nurse should hold (Catlin, 2012). He or she should uphold them when providing health care to the client and this aspect is what defines nursing. A client should seek medical care based on the degree of his or her wellness, as this element defines health, whereas environment deals with the surrounding (Cruz, n.d). Environment can be either external or internal surrounding that has either direct or indirect effect on a person’s health. Philosophical discussions from “The Examined Life” Over 2000 year ago, Socrates uttered a phrase that formed the basics of the film The Examined Life. Socrates made it clear that “the unexamined life is not worth living for human beings” (Catlin, 2012, Para.8). Currently, it has been a common approach to adopt and focus on western philosophy
Health policy analysis addresses the key problem about CMS contribution and the dynamic challenges posed by population demographics. Marć et al. (2019) argue that the age group highly affected by the healthcare policy is the elderly, mainly because of the lack of clarity in the standards of healthcare operations. The aging nurses further encounter a key challenge from the health policy since it falls short of such expectations as addressing the disability retirement conditions and approaches to prevent the outcome. Efficiency in the healthcare department depends on the regulations, outreach, and programs as the circumstances to the key legal issue (Teitelbaum & Wilensky, 2020). There is a controversial work requirement to enhance the significant impact of the Medicaid stamp. There is a plan of shifting the present Medicaid funding specifically to a block grant exemplary. One of the main issues in the financial management of Medicaid resources involves the budgeting limits on direct safety-net health programs, especially for the dynamic population. Effective healthcare management is the involvement of all stakeholders, such as CMS, and the federal government in the decision-making process to improve the sustainable growth in the effectiveness of Medicaid. The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) is more concerned with the act of administering the world’s major health programs. Another role for CMS is the management of the insurance policies for American citizens. The organization is also concerned with collecting and analyzing data and producing various research reports. CMS is greatly concerned with managing the Administrative Simplification Standards associated with the Health Insurance Profitability and Accountability Act (HIPPA). The Administrative Simplification Standards’ primary usage is the critical implementation of the adoption, which conducts related to the national electronic health care records, enforcing the HIPPA rules, and guaranteeing patients’ security and privacies. The integral participation of all stakeholders in the implementation process of the policy is a sustainable approach that boosts efficiency in service delivery (Teitelbaum & Wilensky, 2020). An interplay of both institutions’ roles fosters a sustainable improvement in the healthcare sector decision-making process with a profound support system from the technological tools. Stakeholders such as the government, American citizens, non-governmental organizations, healthcare practitioners, and foreign companies, contribute to society’s health landscape. The role of the partners involves mainly addressing the issue of quality assurance and management (Leonard et al., 2017). Teitelbaum and Wilensky (2020) further establish that the key participants in policy implementation such as the Governor’s office, the Patient and advocacy community, and the senior Medicaid and agency leadership influence medical care. The primary issue that impacts the quality and efficiency of the Medicaid policies is technology in service deliv
Introduction Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa are famous Japanese architects who have completed a few significant projects. At first, they had worked independently from each other until 1995 when the two founded the SANAA studio. This architecture firm has become noted in the whole world due to various extraordinary and successful projects, including the Tsuruoka Cultural Hall. In general, the company creates projects to “discard outmoded stereotypes” (El Croquis, “Sejima 1996” 8) The given cultural building is worth considering since it represents a specific theory found in the architects’ work. It refers to the fact that the two try to combine both conventional Japanese architectural features and a modern approach to their implementation. When it comes to the Cultural Hall, its internal structure refers to the traditional architecture, while extraordinary volumes and specific materials stand for a modern characteristic feature. Background of the Project The Tsuruoka Cultural Hall did not emerge spontaneously, and many events preceded it. Thus, it relates to “Diagram Architecture,” a work by Toyo Ito, another Japanese architect (Covatta 68). The given work had a significant impact on Sejima and SANAA’s projects. Ito’s publication states that any architectural project should combine “the rational system of architectural elements with the sensations and stimuli of the external world” (Covatta 68). Consequently, it also refers to the mixture of modern and traditional, which is preserved in the project under consideration. In addition to that, some of the architects’ previous works influenced the Cultural Hall construction process. For example, Sejima and Nishizawa are famous for creating the O Museum in Nagano, the 21 st Century Museum of Contemporary Art in Kanazawa, the Toledo Museum of Art Glass Pavilion, and others. Those projects mean that the architects are well familiar with designing cultural buildings, which made them interested in building the Tsuruoka Cultural Hall. The Construction Process Thus, one can note that the Tsuruoka Cultural Hall is a project in which the architects have managed to achieve the concept of combining traditional and modern architecture step by step. One can say that “light, transparency, and the ability to see the organization” are central themes of the given project (El Croquis, “Sejima 2007” 7). It is reflected in many aspects, including the materials that the architects used and the structures that they created. It is necessary to note that each of the features that will be described further has its own impact on the project and its meaning. However, the general image only becomes apparent when all these features are analyzed and considered together. This “architecture is easy to judge according to its aesthetic method and dimension, transparency, and lightness” (El Croquis, “Sejima 1996” 14). According to the architects, the use of glass produces an atmospheric effect, and they apply “many layers of glass” (El Croquis, “Sejima 2007” 7). This material is
Introduction It could be stated with certainty that the 2009 Lee Daniel’s movie Precious , which is based on the novel “Push” by Sapphire, is the work of art that elicits numerous problems that are highly relevant for the contemporary society. In particular, the movie depicts the life of the African American urban community, focusing on various health-related and social issue, such as single-parent households, physical, emotional, and sexual abuse, teenage pregnancy, HIV/AIDS, and interaction with society (Sweeney, 2010). The majority of the mentioned topics has a direct relation to the question of care and self-care, making the movie a substantial source of information for healthcare professionals. Therefore, it is decided to conduct an assessment of the movie’s central character, Precious, in order to overview various factors influencing her health so that a comprehensive treatment plan could be successfully developed. The paper is supported by the vast academic literature research in spheres related to issues depicted in the movie. Conducting the Assessment of the Patient Description of the Patient First of all, it is essential to provide an overall description of the patient. Also, to put further reasoning in the proper context, it is critical to notice that the whole assessment and discussion of the treatment plan are based entirely on what is presented in the movie, and thus they might lack some features of a formal assessment. As it is presented in the movie, Precious Jones is a 16-year old African American female, who lives in a sing-parent household with her mother, Mary (Watkins-Hayes, Patterson, & Armour, 2011). The movie is set in Harlem, 1987; and the characters live in a tiny, dirty apartment in Section 8 project housing. Precious is the subject to constant physical, emotional, and verbal abuse from her mother, also she was sexually abused by her father at the time when he was with the family (Watkins-Hayes et al., 2011). Also, she became HIV-positive because her father had AIDS (Watkins-Hayes et al., 2011). As the result, Precious is pregnant for the second time, and the principal of her school expels her, suggesting to enroll to an alternative education program (Watkins-Hayes et al., 2011). It is evident that the situation depicted in the movie represents a situation which is to be thoroughly investigated from the perspective of a healthcare professional (Jarman, 2012). The overall thesis is that abuse in its various forms resulted in unwanted pregnancy, low literacy, and HIV-positive diagnosis, contribute to the adverse mental and physical condition of Precious (Jarman, 2012). Case Formulation On the basis of the overall information, it is possible to formulate the case. Generally, the
Abstract Without any doubt school counseling programs play a key role in molding students’ character and even enhancing their life as a whole. More often, these programs act as corrective forums while offering guidance and leadership in various aspects of life to ensure that they grow up to responsible citizens, In this regard, the effectiveness of these programs must be closely reviewed from time to time to ensure that among other things they keep up with emerging g trends that may affect these citizens in one way or the other. The counseling team must, therefore, be dynamic and adequately resourceful to ensure that they remain relevant. There is a need therefore to look at, among other things, the role of the counselor as a team builder as well as the strategies that may need to be put in place in order to transform the school counseling program and make it more incorporating. Introduction The role of school counseling programs and their importance in the school curriculum can never be overemphasized. Similarly, the ability of an individual to execute the job of a counselor effectively and efficiently comes becomes an important issue to interrogate. The person on whom this important task is bestowed must be able to put in place comprehensive and creative strategies that either enhance an existing program or wholly transform its way of operation for the benefit of both the institution and the individuals involved (Stone & Dahir, 2006). Further, the individual’s character may greatly determine the faith of the consumers of their services in them hence affecting the results observed from the program in the long run. Strategies For any program to be considered successful, it is important to creatively strategize in a manner that resonates with other factors that affect that particular environment. One of the strategies that may be put in place is ensuring that the counseling program is run by an independent department, unlike the common practice where it is attached to another department. This would ensure that the program is empowered through human resources as well as with other relevant material. As part of this program, students would be encouraged to form small groups through which they would look out for one another and through these groups, they may be trained as peer educators to diversify on the resource persons available for counseling while at the same time using these groups to role out various resolutions. However, the overall duty of ensuring that the program runs efficiently would rest with the members of the counseling department. Fundamentally, one of the most productive ways of ensuring that these programs are successful would be continuous and consistent refilling the resource persons with relevant information in line with emerging trends. In addition there would be a need to set aside specific curriculum lessons for counseling purposes and even have annual planning for group and individual counseling. This would ensure that each student’s needs are attended to in the best way possible while at the same time encouraging the growth of the prog
If a picture is worth a thousand words, a movie poster is and should be, worth a lot more. A movie poster should contain an apt description or preview of the movie. Needless to say, the poster’s background, title, and list of actors should be able to tell its audience what is in store for them. “Madagascar” is a famous movie made by DreamWorks in the year 2005, which was followed by its sequel, “Madagascar: Escape to Africa”. The poster of “Madagascar” targets children and adolescents for an audience. From the colors to the portrayal of the characters, it is obvious what kind of audience the poster is targeting. Aside from the fact that it has a great visual foundation, it also has a comedic theme that kids and teenagers love. Although the background is realistic in its portrayal of Manhattan, the city surrounded by water, it is not sophisticated. It is a background that a child could easily relate to. Unlike movies that seek an older audience, the poster has a certain simplicity to it. Normally, the background would be abstract if not really sophisticated in nature. A typical background in itself hides a lot of messages interpreted differently by different people. But this poster’s background is very simple. In fact, the background simply shows a vivid view of New York City. It doesn’t dwell on intricate details, except those that would help people identify the background as the city of Manhattan. The background and the characters are colored vividly with bright colors. The poster makes use of light colors which suggests what type of movie it is. The movie, as the poster suggests, doesn’t seem to dwell on deep and profound topics. Contrary to this, the poster suggests that the movie is very light and can easily be understood by anybody, young or old. The movie makes use of characters that children can easily describe as “cute”. In fact, the characters resemble stuffed toys that kids know and love. Not only children, but teenagers and even adults adore stuffed animals. Although they aren’t the typical stuffed animals, they still look so delightful and appealing. They are almost like teddy bears. Bears are known to be ferocious creatures, which are found in the wild. But, when humans started making teddy bears, the way people thought about bears changed. Similarly, Lions and the like are creatures that are feared by a lot of people. Somehow, this poster changes that perception, by making creatures such as a ferocious lion look so adorable. Humans live in the city with their pets. Pets are domesticated animals. They are animals that are safe for human interactions. This movie, specifically the poster shows a huge contradiction. It depicts wild animals which are drifting away from New York City. These animals are not the typical domesticated animals such as c
Introduction According to the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs of 1961, drugs such as nicotine and marijuana were barred from public use with exception for medicinal and research purposes. It is notable that drug legislations are often based on the three UN convections of 1961, 1971 and 1988 which allowed limited use of drugs with recognition of therapeutic and scientific reasons only. Despite regulation policies by the UN concerning drug abuse, Latin America has continually remain to be a hub of drug abuse while drug barons make millions from illicit trade on these drugs in the black-market. Legalizing Drugs Consumption for Their Proper Management According to Uruguay’s president, José Mujica, legalization and decriminalization of drug and substance use would prove to be fruitful in curbing their trade in the black-market (Cave, 2012). Uruguay and other Latin American countries strive to legalize drug use with an aim to manage their populations’ consumption of drugs while under the surveillance of the governments. Such drugs include marijuana and nicotine which thrive in their illicit consumptions. Contrary to the Latin America’s ideology on drug legalization, the UAE has remained stiff on drug use and legalization with heavy penalties imposed on drug offenders (Cave, 2012). Despite amendments by different nations on their drug policies, UAE has continued to impose their strict policies on drug use and abuse. Their strenuous efforts have recorded remarkable impacts as crime rate is significantly low compared to other industrialized countries. According to the National Rehabilitation Centre of the UAE, the region has recorded the lowest rate of substance abuse compared to other countries world-over. Cities in the UAE such as Dubai have strict drug policies though posing as liberal destination for tourists globally. Persons found guilty in Dubai face heavy punishment with imposition of death penalty on gross offenders. These policies have helped their government to wage a zero tolerance war on drug abuse and malpractices. On the contrary, the Latin American nations consider the fight against drug use to have failed hence resorting to drug legalization and decriminalization of drug offenders (Cave, 2012). Such practices would never be embraced in the UAE where they have recorded substantial benefits from their strict laws and drug policies. In respect to the UAE, legalization of drug use would be a mere show of failure to impose drug policies and reg
