Form and Culture in Way Down East, All Quiet on the Western Front, and The Philadelphia Story Form and Culture in Way Down East Way Down East Movie is a melodrama movie produced in 1920. D.W. Griffin produced the film. He uses techniques such as the silent screen melodrama in the development of the movie. The author and producer of the movie utilized broad gestures among the actors. As such, the film was based on grimacing close-ups and eyes fluttering as a standard ingredient in the performance. The technique was mainly used to evoke the satirical nature of the film. Griffin used a series of medium and close shots to allow the body language of the characters, such as the facial expressions, to be understood by the audience.

Deaf culture identity             Various people from different socioeconomic and geographic backgrounds are affected by hearing challenges. Guidelines to asses and manage hearing loss in children have evolved from a failure-based approach to an Evidence based practice (Winiger et al, 2016). Despite this milestone, very little research has been conducted on children diagnosed with minimal hearing loss (MHL) and how to address the needs of these children. Children with hard of hearing constitutes almost 65% of children with hearing impairment. The purpose of this paper is to expand our understanding on the importance of identity development in DHH children.

Economics In Pop Culture Why did you choose this particular example of economics in pop culture? Why did it resonate with you? I chose Vinnie Paz’s Writing on Disobedience and Democracy as he chronologically gives details to several economic situations that took place in American history and the politics behind them. Economic inequality, especially among people of color, is emphasized in the song. Paz explains how President Reagan got rid of benefits for the poor, which mainly consisted of people of color, to fund the war. The effect trickled down to unemployment, where about thirty million people were unemployed. What do you think the creator was trying to express, and how did s/he accomplish that? Paz was trying to educate people on what really took place historically, the things not accurately taught in classes. He wanted to show that the economic inequality that is taking place in the current world against people of color has a historical aspect. He accomplished this by narrating the events chronologically, giving the problem and the cause. What are some of the benefits of using…

Differences in Culture and Diversity In the modern era, there are economic changes, growing population, and behaviors in the organization that reflect culture and diversity in workplaces. It is likely where there are more than two employees differences in background and culture that may arise in the workplace. The culture and diversity were nothing of value, but through organization behavior, employers have placed importance on it since it may affect the performance of work by employees. Some organizations have organizational cultures that are meant to guide practice, shape values, and attitudes. On the other side, those organizations have a high value on diversity, which means every individual is treated separately. The differences between culture and diversity are elaborated below and the impact they have in a working environment.

Culture applies to two different areas which include the staff culture and the workplace. All these do influence each other and plays a significant role in the momentum for the business. A culture…

Culture and Caring Theories Which of the Culture and Caring Theories Most Resonates with You for Your Practice as an NP? The culture and caring theory that resonates with me for my practice as a nurse practice is the Jean Watson theory of human caring. How Does the Theory Integrate the Nursing Paradigm?   This theory encourages nurses to focus more on caring for their patients as opposed to curing the condition the latter have. The theory believes that the field of nursing differs substantially from medicine. While medicine focuses on curing patients, nursing aims at caring for the patients. According to Watson, her theory of caring entails nursing caring for self and others, using caring to forge transpersonal relationships, reflection, and developing caring moments (Butts & Rich, 2018). As such, Jean Watson’s theory views nursing as a field of practice founded on caring relationships that benefits both the clients and nurse professionals and which transcend the restoration of the patient’s health. What Parts of the Theory Do You Identify With? To begin with, I resonate with how Jean Watson’s…

SINGAPORE’S APPROACH TO MANAGING CULTURE AND CLASS Introduction Singapore’s initiatives to manage culture has been facilitated by the presence of different ethnic groups in the country. Hence, the nation has been compelled to develop a common national identity taking into consideration the cultural heritage and beliefs of the diverse social groups. The Singaporean government has developed initiatives to create sense into cultural studies since its independence in 1965. As such, culture in Singapore has been utilized as an attempt to create a national identity through an authoritarian approach. The government has taken upon itself to promote culture relative to the response from its citizens on nation-building initiatives. Thus, the state has adopted distinct popular national discourses to allow for further liberalization on the importance of culture in the modern Singaporean society. Therefore, Singapore has utilized a cross-cultural approach to managing culture and class since its independence.
