Essays on Harms

There are times when a nursing problem arises as a result of a number of findings, and these findings are pulled together into a summary in order to see the big picture created out of these findings. This act of pulling together is what Brown & Ochs (2018) calls a systematic research review (SRR) or systematic review, which helps researchers identify “what is known with certainty, what is tentatively known, and what the gaps in knowledge are regarding an issue” (p.175). It serves as a link between the individual studies performed and the decision making done in order to create ...

International Torts, Negligence

CC could sue National for tortious impedance. Tortious impedance is a purposeful tort that precludes the consider obstruction with authoritative or business connections (The Legal and Ethical Environment of Business, 2014, p. 220). Since National purposefully paid the CC representative to get the arrangements for CC's new item, this would be a substantial claim that CC could use to sue National. In the event that the arrangements were enrolled with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, then those arrangements are ensured by law. In the event that the arrangements were copyrighted by CC, they would likewise be ensured by ...

Under most circumstances the grocery store would not be liable if someone is a victim of a crime near the story but not actually on the store’s property or premises. The reason for this outcome is twofold. Unless the harm is the result of a grocery store employee, for example, if an employee was told by a manager to “mug” the customer when they left, then the harm cannot be considered an intentional tort related to the store. An intentional tort is one in which the defendant (the grocery store) commits an act whose results it intends accomplish. ...

In this essay, I will argue that the Ontario HPV vaccination program is ethically inappropriate and ineffective as a public health initiative aimed at combating cervical cancer. HPV vaccination in regards to cervical cancer reduction pales in comparison to other vaccination programs such as those that fight infectious diseases like polio, measles, smallpox, pertussis, and TB among others. As such, pro-vaccination arguments such as harm to others, harms and benefits, as well as best interests do not offer sufficient justification for the HPV vaccination initiative. Moreover, the critical consideration of issues such as social justice, adolescent sexuality, paternalism, and ...

Introduction Although the U.S Federal government spends billions of dollars towards crime reduction policy initiatives, incidence rate of crimes such as homicides, burglary, smuggling, and gang violence is on the rise in the country. With the 9/11 terror attacks, the United States has become a major target for terrorist groups worldwide. In addition, the strong diplomatic stance taken by the Federal government against Islamic State (IS) terrorists also makes the country vulnerable to organized terror attacks.

Analysis of the Documentary Food, Inc. through the Lens of Ethical Theories and Ideas

Some may wonder whether the food choice is an ethical issue. After all, we make these choices at least three times a day and our individual decisions influence the global industry of food growth, production and processing. As Jones, Cardinal and Hayward remind us, we exist in society and are connected to other people. This is why our choices, in our case, the food choices, affect other people, and their decisions influence us as well (2006, p. 3). Various theories of ethics propose different ways of viewing the problems of food production and consumption and seek solutions in distinct ...

Executive Summary

The results of the recent studies among U.S. pregnant women prove that fish consumption during pregnancy benefits the cognition of the offspring in infancy but at the same time, high levels of mercury that fish contain have adverse effects on the cognition of little children. So, it is recommended to pregnant women to look for the fish species with a low level of mercury. The issue whether pregnant women harm their babies or on the contrary benefit the child’s brain development while consuming fish is ambiguous. There has been a great quantity of researchers who have been studying ...

The latest criminological theories are considered critical because, first, they introduce a new paradigm in the interpretation of reasons why people commit crime. Secondly, these latest criminological theories introduce new perspectives of looking at criminal behavior in a total departure from the traditional criminological theories. Further, these criminological theories represent post-modernism, that is, reflect modern scientific or technological knowledge of crime and criminal behavior. Lastly, these theories are considered critical because they represent a new era of studying crime in light of new developments in the society (Lanier, Henry & Anastasia 106). Postmodernism is a recent movement in criminology studies ...

The First Amendment guarantees freedom of speech by restricting legislations that curtail this freedom. U.S. Supreme Court decisions reinforce respect for the freedom of speech against legislations by the federal and state governments. However, some forms of communication are exempt from First Amendment guarantees. Obscenity is one such exemption. In Roth v. the United States, the U.S. Supreme Court cited a series of cases dating back to 1877 to demonstrate the Court’s consistent regard of obscenity as an expression that is not protected by the First Amendment right to free speech. Since obscenity does not form part of ...

Police misconduct is not a frequent news headline. Yet, when incidents of police conduct do hit the news, the reason is the serious nature of the misconduct and its widespread impact. Even with the recognition that police misconduct cannot be completely eliminated, preventive measures and strategies to mitigate the impact of misconduct need to be in place. Existing measures and strategies also need continuous evaluation to support the necessary reforms to address emerging issues on police misconduct. Media frenzy, public outcry, and politicization of police misconduct often complicate effective response to this issue. When this happens, it helps to ...

Introduction

The only industrialized nations, which allow pharmaceutical companies to market prescription drugs to the consumers are the U.S. and New Zealand (Gibson, 2014). According to Mintzes (2012), the direct to consumer advertising of prescription drugs to the consumers has become very ubiquitous in the US. The debate about the public health impact of marketing the prescription drugs to the consumers has been controversial. The supporters of this form of advertising claim that it leads to positive outcomes while its opponents maintain that it results in negative effects. In my point of view, the marketing of drugs to the consumers ...

Internet on Children

Abstract The Internet continues to raise controversy in recent years about existing and potentials harms and (more shyly, benefits), particularly by parents and pediatricians. The arguments are, apparently, based on concern for children's mental and physical health amid warnings of dire consequences for extensive hours spent on social media and gaming platforms. Assuming a scientific mantle, pediatricians emphasize harmful effects of Internet for children, only exacerbating parental concern. This paper argues, in contrast, for practical and confirmed benefits of Internet use for cognitive and social skills. By engaging children in meaningful learning and gaming activities, parents and educators do ...

The discovery of heat loss is a crucial factor in infrastructure maintenance. It is this, essential to map the temperature of the inhabited areas within the Northeastern region of the United States. This is achievable by use of an aerial thermal imagery. The camera having high-resolution facilitates to check the surface temperature of the area.

How to Obtain Thermal Imagery

Aircraft mission planning is attainable via the remote sensing program. Perpendicular photographs are captured through aiming the camera facing the earth surface. The features and objects on the ground can sometimes be challenging to recognize from the manner they are displayed on the photos1
