The concept of Socialism has been a considerable part of many nations for a long time now. China for instance, managed to get rid of Socialism and begun the creation of its social construction after Socialism, giving rise to the concept that is known as the post-socialist era.

Analysis of affecting factors on patient safety culture in private and public hospitals In response to the journal published on December 30, 2019, patient-safety culture has been outlined as one of the most effective ways of providing quality services in healthcare.  Studies on patient safety culture have been on rising due to increasing levels of errors, which have caused adverse effects such as death to a large number of sick people. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), Medicare activities have created tens of million injuries and deaths among the sick (Khoshakhlagh et al., 2019). For instance, in the USA, 44,000 to 98,000 hospital deaths are caused by hospital errors every year.

As such, the issues relating to healthcare errors need to be rectified through the introduction of an efficient patient-culture.

Popular culture Popular culture entails or promotes some aspects of racism in society. As we learned last week, popular culture implies a set of practice and beliefs that are generally accepted in society. It further involves objects that are dominant and prevalent in a community in a given time. Popular culture is about activities and feelings cultivated due to human interactions. In many ways, racism has been promoted through popular culture. Today, the most current popular culture is entertainment which involves activities such as movies, music, video games and television. Other forms include sports, technology, fashion and slang. Popular culture promotes racism in many ways. For example, let’s look at the presentation of women on television in North America. Most advertisements over the TV in the region are done by white women who are believed to be more beautiful than black women. The aspect of women beauty is idealized in a specific direction in the context of race. By using only white women in the entertainment industry, televisions shows and advertisements is a shred of valid and concrete evidence that…

racial politics expressed in popular culture In what ways are racial politics expressed in popular culture? How is whiteness presented as the norm in North American culture? Racism is prevalent within popular culture, as was discussed in the week study. In many ways, racism is presented through popular cultures in most societies. Through an examination of the effect of idealized norms of women’s beauty within the context of race, it is clear that racial politics are dominant in popular culture. For example, let us look at the standard presentation of the beauty of women in the television, movies or any other advertisement, in most cases, the women presented are shown to be white and not coloured people. This is a valid and concrete reflection of racism in popular culture. Lichtenberg (1998) noted that when the television organizers present whiteness as the only norm with powers and ability to be beautiful as shown, a diverse perspective is developed that only the white women are beautiful. They are given the privileges and power to overrun the beauty seen in other women of…

A reflection of “A theory of mass culture.” By Macdonald, Dwight The “A theory of mass culture,” by Macdonald argues that two cultures have characterized the western culture for the last 100 years. According to Macdonald, these row cultures include the Mass Culture (Popular Culture) and the High Culture. The article argues that Mass Culture growth starts as early as the 1800s, and the factors which perpetuated its growth are well known. Advancement of technology is a core contributor to the growth of the Mass Culture in the western world because it led to the cheap production of music, pictures, periodicals, and furniture, just mentioning a few. The development of technology led to new media such as television and movies, which are well adapted to mass distribution and manufacture.
