The Journal of the American Medical association began to describe battered child syndrome in the 1960’s, and between the beginning of humanity and when domestic abuse began to be described as a societal problem, little if anything was done.

(a) A hierarchical structure and organization by functional specialty as enunciated by Weber’s principles of modern bureaucracy are two important facets of a government organization because they both serve as control tools in the efficient delivery of basic services to the public.

The influence media has on society is often underestimated because it contains subliminal messages that are, by definition, absorbed unconsciously.

Martin Landau. Redundancy, Rationality, and the Problem of Duplication and Overlap. 1969. Thesis: According to Martin, the government system of the United States of America is built on redundant structures. The author explores various definitions for redundancy and notes that all of them have a negative connotation. Such redundancy is explained by the overlap in the intelligence agencies and the branches of the government. According to Martin, redundancy and duplication are crucial for the lengthy functioning of the government given that the authorities swing around the pendulum of power.

“It is, however, the lexical evaluation of redundancy which prevails in public administration.” (303)

“Thus it is that the removal of redundancy is rarely, ...

While I am aware the health care system and hospitals already face enough problems with budgeting and caring for patients, the inter-hospital politics threaten to disrupt whatever cohesion is still felt by the varying members of the medical community. Nurses, in particular, have an especially hard job, their duties falling somewhere between doctor and assistant, while receiving neither the pay or slack of either. The micro politics inherent in the health care industry can, often, impede the ability of the nurse to maintain a balanced work/life setting, as well as prevent them from caring for the patient in the best ...
