Public image of nurses: past, present, and future

Introduction Undoubtedly, the nursing profession has vital ingredients of accountability and autonomy. Also, it is true to assert that nursing profession demands more responsibilities than before when the main role of a nurse was just to provide comfort and care. In the modern world, a nurse is expected to be an advocate for clients, a manager, and an educator (Drayton & Weston, 2015). However, little attention is drawn towards the assessment of the actual public image and perception of nurses. Nurses seem to dwell in a dual structure of nursing and social worlds. The two worlds tend to influence and ...

First, Legitimacy is the confidence in the rightness of an organization and suitability of its business systems to meet customer needs. For an organization to be legitimate, it must be accepted and acknowledged as authentic, valid, and compliant with set laws and standards of operation. Social licence, on the other hand, is gotten when a business project has a continuous approval inside a local community as well as other interested parties, continuous endorsement or widespread social acceptance, and most often, continuous general acceptance (Robert 110). Second, Legitimacy is determined by laws and regulations in a country. On the other ...

Introduction

While job description refers to the specific roles or duties of a given position in an organization, job specification indicates the required attributes for someone to be considered competent for a given task (Verboncu & Zeininger, 2015). HR managers utilize the two concepts (job specification and description) in attracting and evaluating potential employees and in identifying proper strategies of managing an organizational workforce. Some of the important attributes evaluated during job description include necessary goals and skills for a given position. In job specification, the human resource (HR) managers take account of individual attributes, experience, skills and training that are ...

In the past 3 decades, there has been a significant increase in nurse shortage with the numbers expected to fall even more by the end of 2020. Most researchers, healthcare managers, and nurse leaders assume that the issue has been resolved but the truth is it is far more disastrous. Nursing shortage has many negative implications within the healthcare system. Registered nurses have a high demand in the market place, wherein the current RN workforce of over 2.7 ˘million is expect to grow above 3.5 million by 2022 (AACN 2014). Due to the increasing number of elderly patients, acute ...

In Soviet Deception in the Cuban Missile Crisis, James Hansen argues that Moscow’s central tenet has always been “to prevent an adversary from discovering Russian intentions by deceiving him about the nature, scope, and timing of an operation,” conceding the idea that there exists a pattern of covert political or militaristic tactics at work in the world. The clandestine affairs nature of world affairs, politics, and strategic military moves between superpowers has always raised curiosity of how individuals act, plan, and engage behaviors that intertwine uncertain outcomes. In the case of the Cuban Missile Crisis, according to the ...

BODY CAMERAS TO BENEFIT POLICE AND CITIZENS

There is a sustained perception by minority groups such as African-Americans that the law enforcement officers treat discriminately. This has increased incidences of police involvement against the demographics. However, the introduction and use of body cameras come as a panacea towards bringing to an end the unprecedented cases of police brutality and use of excessive force. In addition, civil suits concerning police brutality launched by African Americans are expected to reduce the involvement of body cameras. According to the H.Res.16, the wearing of body cameras by local law enforcement agencies while serving the communities encourages transparency and protects both ...

Introduction

The globalization of business, as well as the rise in the movement of the workforce across the geographical borders and nations, have significantly increased the diversity in the workplaces. The contemporary organizations come in all shapes and sizes. Most of them now have employees from diverse cultural backgrounds. With the increased workforce diversity, especially within the multicultural organizations, the concept of organizational justice has increasingly become vital. Notably, many researchers continue having an interest in this concept (Colquitt et al., 2001). The HR is required to ensure that organizational justice prevails so as to prevent conflicts in the workplace. ...

Response Paper: Self in the Workplace

Success at any workplace is not an abstract occurrence but rather takes a combination of abilities, skills, and knowledge necessary to guarantee such success. As an employee, I have greatly excelled at my workplace due to my strong work ethics, strict time management and embracement of a team spirit. I understand pretty well that organizational goals are set targets that require a collective approach from all employees. As a result, therefore, we are strongly working as a team and not as an individual; I prefer pooling my contribution alongside those from other colleagues for the sake of organizational goals. ...

Health professionals have recognized and embraced the importance of tailored health messages and health campaigns that are based on social support groups that target populations and help to reduce the gaps in delivering health information to different groups. In the attempt to reduce the spread of HIV/AIDS in developing countries such as Uganda, study findings indicate that issues such as perception of risk, individual knowledge, attitudes and emotions, and policy issues have been critical in the HIV-related campaigns that seek to promote behavioral change (Kaufman, Cornish, Zimmerman, & Johnson, 2014). In addition, the HIV/AIDS infection rate in the country remains ...

It is well-known that Native American cultures are characterized by their unbreakable connection with nature and peculiar spirituality which differs profoundly from that of Christians and other newcomers to the New World. The Cherokee and Iroquois tribes are distinguished by quite unusual and interesting perceptions of the world, origins of humans and morality, and these perceptions are embodies in Native oral traditions, cosmology and legends handed down from one generation to another. As Parker notes, “the creation story is for every group and for every person some form of coming to an awareness of their own existence, their world ...

Gender equality is an issue that has persisted throughout history and pervaded the same on one level or another. Throughout much of history, men have used religion, power and influence to subjugate and limit women. One might think that such a pattern would be tapering off and going away in the 21st century and within modern times. While many countries, including the one mentioned throughout this report, have been able to advance and progress in major ways, there are still a ton of opportunities to learn and grow.

Q. 2 In the American society just as is the case in other societies, perceptions, attitudes, and reactions or response to rape and family or domestic violence victimization differ significantly in various respects. According to Siegel, when it comes to violent crimes such as rape and domestic violence, perceptions about victimization differ based on the offender and the victim’s gender (68). Further, Ben-David and Schneider claim that the attitudes and beliefs about gender roles influence perceptions on rape with the possible explanation being the belief in rape as a sexual act and socially accepted stereotypes about rape (389). ...

Although not many of us realize it, gender is an important aspect in how we present ourselves in the society we interact with daily. The gender and sexuality of a person has an impact on his or her behavior, actions, and attitudes in general (West & Zimmerman). In order to see how gender influence actions, I decided to analyze my behavior myself. Immediately after waking up in the morning, I first check my phone for messages and updates from my social media accounts. Afterwards, I get up from the bed and go through my morning routines—washing my face, taking ...

Foremost, about the losses that the Westerners caused in countries with which they came into contact, imperialism revolved around perceptions of white supremacy. The possession of white skin became the ticket one needed to guarantee his or her place among the civilized nations while that of any other shade belonged to a lower class. Surprisingly, while signs of the given perceptions were present even when the Portuguese used religion as a cause for exploration and domination of the world in the seventeenth century, it was not until the mid-nineteenth century that the West found conclusive proof. In 1859, Charles ...

The perceptions and attitudes of others towards rape perpetrators and victims are vital in the treatment and recovery of casualties. More than half of the rape victims talk about the assault after some time; and they incline to seek support from the close social network, like family and friends other than formal institutions. Emotional supports have been intensely linked to better recovery outcomes. However, negative social reactions, for instance, blaming the victim for the rape incident, minimizing the rape assault incident and excusing the rape perpetrator of his or her actions, have been associated with increased psychological trauma and ...

The term ‘macro-environment’ refers to the set of forces that influence the functioning of all the businesses at the market (Dibb and Simkin, 2008, p.26). In political terms, the fragrance market is likely to be impacted by the major trends in international relations (e.g., the conclusion of international agreements, openings and closings of markets). Similar, given the fact that the Middle Eastern producers of fragrances tend to export them to the markets of other countries, the state of the economic relations between the Middle Eastern countries and the rest of the world is highly important for exporters. Moreover, the ...

Market Positioning

Introduction Market positioning is a marketing strategy that seeks to influence consumer's perception of a given brand or product in relation to other competing commodities in the market. Many scholars view this marketing strategy as the process of creating an image or product identity in the minds of consumers to influence the way they (customers) perceive products in the target market (Blankson et al., 2013, p. 500). Market positioning must be maintained throughout the entire life of a given product/brand, and for firms to achieve this objective, they must understand the key market segments that they want to serve ( ...

Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) is a sensitive topic in the society. This is because although it is one of the most common situations, it is also one of the least discussed or reported to authorities (Burkhardt & Nathaniel, 2007). This phenomenon is based on the negative perceptions of those who undergo IPV under the judgmental eye of society, associating this unfortunate situation to their physical or moral standing (Burkhardt & Nathaniel, 2007). Even though IPV rates have drastically reduced in the present society, these demeaning perceptions have still maintained their presence among those affected by IPV, for both genders. Nurses are ...

Liu, T., Moeller, S. K., Ode, S., & Robinson, M. D. (2013). Neuroticism as Distancing: Perceptual Sources of Evidence. Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 104(5), 907-920.

Which perspective of personality did the authors take?

In both study 3 and 4, the researchers focus on how neuroticism (one of the five traits according to Eysenck) influences individuals’ perceptions of stimuli with positive or negative valence. A biological perspective is also evident in the fact that high neuroticism is dependent on an individual having an overactive sympathetic nervous system, thus a higher tendency for anxiety. The biological factor influences how each participant responds to the stimuli presented in ...

At the forefront of the causes of the First World War was the growing sense of Nationalism among the European nations as they reacted to the “fallout” of imperialism abroad and social class conflicts at home (WWI and the Interwar Years, Part 1 3-4mins). In other words, each European power was keen to minimize its counterpart’s influence in the colonized territories and within its borders. Subsequently, one of the effects of World War I was the taint it placed on the presentation of the West as the “height of civilization”; in answer, colonized persons began to question the ...

Who wins and who loses? The one who wins has reflected his or her ability to influence the behavior of others. This is power. As defined by Robert Dahl, a leading political theorist, power is the ability of one to get another to do something he or she would not otherwise do as a result of the will imposed by the other, where adherence is driven by obligation rather than force. Power is dynamic, relative, situational and multidimensional. According to Steve Lukes, there are three dimensions of power. The first dimension of power is intentional and active, and involves ...

Introduction

Certain factors such as the need to conserve environmental purity as well as the increasing pressure on fossil fuels have prompted the increased use of alternative sources of fuel, renewable energy to be precise. Renewable energy has been cited as not only cheap to exploit but also the most environmentally friendly sources of energy due to the reduced instances of environmental pollution associated with such energy (Pasqualetti 204). Solar energy, for instance, has been largely exploited globally due to its free availability, especially along the tropics where it is abundant throughout the year.

The debate on whether minors should be held in the same stature as adults for equal crimes is one that has been raging on for a long period. The debate is occasioned by the enticing argument that any form of societal and criminal misconduct should always be tackled by undertaking tougher punishments on offenders regardless of age. However, applying the same metric of punishment to juveniles as adults is not the solution. It is especially the case considering that research indicates that minors that receive adult sentences become more likely repeat offenders as opposed to those that go through ...
