Personal, social, and cultural factors affect learning in different ways within the education environment. These factors relate to various outcomes during the learning process. They analyze the potential within a learner and how appropriate a particular factor modifies the learning behavior.

Caring in Nursing Theory The article by Zane & Nancey (2017) discusses caring as a core aspect of the nursing profession. With years of nurse-patient and family interactions, nurse professionals have developed theories that depict care as an ethical principle. The theorists emphasize the need for care to improve patients’ welfare. These theories include the “Theory of culture care: diversity and universality” (p.96). It states that care is expressed differently in different cultures. The theory of human caring supports caring as essential in nursing. The Theory of bureaucratic caring stresses that organizations should make caring a culture. Another one, the Theory of caritative caring is about caring for those who are suffering. The Theory of caring would sum up caring as a value for comforting, supporting, protecting and engaging patients. In general, all these theories are centered on care as an indispensable component of nursing. Notably, there have been conceptual models used in the development of these theories. For instance, the nurse must know the patient’s needs, what to do to improve patient care and choose actions indented for better…

Strategies for conflict management at my place of business When an organization does not have conflict resolution techniques or strategies for their workplace, their workers may have a hard time working and being productive in a stressful working environment. It is, therefore, essential for employees and managers alike to understand the distinct modes of conflict resolution and also how conflict resolution strategies can be implemented. The following are strategies for conflict management at my place of business. First, at my place of business, the management tends to accommodate other people’s ideologies. Since two people having a conflict can have demands, the organizations have encouraged an environment where each party is required to bend over backward and accommodate demands brought forward by the other person to help iron out the difference that we, as workers have. The technique does not allow information or viewpoints to be brought to a conflict resolution team, but they are required to downplay their feelings or hold back their frustration. Besides, my business also uses compromise as a strategy for conflict between workers. The strategy aims…
how vulnerable our students are to the crime against cyberbullying Violence is not a new act in our society. It is known by everyone but the rate at which it is escalating is related to the constant rise in the technological advancement and use by the youths. There is a lot of freedom to access of social media by everyone including the youths and adolescent high school students and even the young. Even though social media has its advantages such as making a new society, entertainment and learning, it has major setbacks especially to the norms and behaviors of different societies.

Ursula burns Video analysis Ursula Burns’s vision of leadership entails having a clear strategy in one’s position of leadership. Ursula advocates for inclusive leadership, a trait I find essential. She argues that a leader should lead the people efficiently. She describes her mother as one of the best examples of being a leader. She says that her mother had clear objectives and strategies for each of her children. The role was to study hard in school while she takes care of their needs, like school fees and other expenditures. Thus, for any business strategy to succeed, I think that any leader should exercise her leadership role efficiently (Akakpo,2018). This can be through giving every employee his/her position and setting goals on how to achieve it while the leader makes sure that the goals are achieved. Secondly, she believes that for one to be a leader, he/she should be flawless in his/her job. She argues that one has to be good at what he/she does. For instance, she gave an example of when she was a board member at the…
single cell eukaryotic plasmodium parasites Caused by five species of a single cell eukaryotic plasmodium parasites and, in most cases, Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium falciparum, which are transmitted through a bite by female anopheles mosquito, malaria continues to be one of the leading causes of child mortality in Africa and Asia. The tropical and subtropical climate of the countries within these continents provides a conducive thriving environment for the parasites. P. falciparum species is responsible for most of the malaria deaths on a global scale, and it’s the most prevalent malaria parasite in Africa. The lethal nature of this parasite can be seen through its high multiplication rate, which in turn causes severe blood loss and clogged blood vessels. On the other hand, P. vivax is mostly found in Asia and Latin America. This species lie dormant in the body of an individual after the mosquito bite rising to infect their blood months or years later. The parasites multiply in the liver, and the bloodstream and mosquito bites facilitate the transmission to other people in most cases. However, blood transfusion…
The issue of children living with disabilities The issue of children living with disabilities has been a significant debate for decades. Historically, children with disabilities were being regarded as unequal to their abled peers and were taken to specialized schools. However, the signing of the Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA) in 1997 ensured that all students should be treated equally regardless of the differences (Lane, Barton-Arwood, Rogers, & Robertson, 2017). Typically, students with disabilities are stigmatized when barred from participating in some activities like non-disabled peers. Also, the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) that was effected in the year 2002 focused mainly on giving every child a chance to acquire education regardless of the differences (Darling-Hammond, 2018). Also, the NCLB Act was implemented to ensure that the American education system is changed and children are given equal opportunities. NCLB act has also been significant since it authorizes several education programs to be administered to all students by the states. The inclusive classroom model that was introduced has been of great significance since many students living with disabilities have joined…
