My position regarding academic integrity My position regarding academic integrity is that cheating is not acceptable and should be not be condoned in learning institutions. In this light, students who engage in deception tend to overlook their potential and develop a notion that cheating is the only way in which people can succeed in life. There are many reasons why I argue that cheating is unacceptable in learning institutions. First, cheating goes against ethical principles, which are the foundation of human behaviors. In this light, cheating violates the policy of honesty and integrity. Secondly, People who cheat in the exam also don’t perform well in the respective examination due to the panic and tension. The fear of being caught and the consequences may not allow them to engage their mind and realize the best properly. Third, cheating is not acceptable since it helps brew the character of corruption and extortion. People who cheat in exams later become very corrupt and violate social morals since they always believe in short cuts to achieve their dreams. Among other reasons, I greatly feel…
stakeholders that help support CAPTA and how to garner their support Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act (CAPTA) is a law that provides room for financial assistance for programs that are focused on identifying, preventing, and treating child neglect and abuse. The bill also deals with identifying federal roles concerned with providing data collection services, technical assistance, and evaluation activities related to child neglect and abuse. To addressing this law, it is essential to have the support of key decision-makers and other significant stakeholders. This paper aims at discussing stakeholders that help support CAPTA and how to garner their support. The first essential element in undertaking any project is to identify all the stakeholders that might be interested in the project. In my plan, I would first make a list of all the stakeholders that share my interest in getting involved in CAPTA. At this stage, it is crucial to understand what motivates the various stakeholders because it makes it easier to garner their support. It is easier to approach organizations and individuals who are interested in a particular field…
Improving Maternal Morbidity and Mortality Rates Introduction Quality of care is an integral component of equity, dignity, and the right to medical care to children and women. As nurses, it is our mandate to make sure that all patients get quality care without discrimination or prejudice. In 2016, the World Health Organization (WHO) published standards to be adopted by healthcare facilities in improving maternal and newborn care (World Health Organization, 2017). The standards emphasize the significance of nurses in improving care and patient satisfaction due to improved healthcare outcomes. Clinical Problem My measurable patient-centred practice problem involves an increased number of maternal complications, care of sick newborns cases and mortality rates reported in the within our health facility. Most of the cases are usually from our internal maternity department, while very few are referred from other facilities. Despite the increased global coverage on reducing stillbirths, maternal and newborn mortality, and afterbirth complications to mothers and newborns, it seems we still have some inadequacies in our maternity or ER department. Such shortcomings lead to increased levels of the reported cases of…
Addressing the Gender Divide in Digital Labour Gender equality is not only a fundamental right, but it also provides opportunities for economic development. The “demand economy” or the “gig economy” is now intricately intertwined with the traditional economic structure (Van Doorn, 2017). With the transforming world of the internet and digital platforms, new avenues are opening up for women to contribute to the world of digital labour. Through the digital space, women have the opportunity to earn additional income and access new information and knowledge. Moreover, the digital world provides a welcome avenue to bridge the much talked about gap among the genders. Photo: Both genders contribute immensely to the economy, highlighting the importance of gender equality. The road ahead to gender equality in digital labour remains difficult. Data from the OECD (2018) illustrates that over three million more men exist in digital labour more than women worldwide. Furthermore, the ICT sector underemployed women, with similar discrimination occurring when comparing the number of women and men who own startups. This damning data confirms the asymmetrical distribution of the male…
Globalization and Identity Introduction Neoliberalism is a new form of Adam’s Smith’s liberalism idea that countries should practice tariff-free and barrier-free global trade and investment (Kottak & Kozaitis, 2012). Neoliberalism can be traced back to the 1930s in the US during New Deal under President Franklin Roosevelt. Globalization entails linking countries and people across the world through political, economic, transport, and modern media (Kottak & Kozaitis, 2012). Notably, globalization facilitates the mass media socio-cultural impact process in which people reside in global villages; that is, they live in transnational and multilocal lifestyles. According to John Maynard Keynes, the economy should operate in full employment to facilitate the growth of capitalism (Kottak & Kozaitis, 2012). Where necessary, the government and central bank should intervene to increase or sustain the level of full employment. In line with Kottak and Kozaitis’s (2012) definition, Cyberspace is an intangible or psychological space that includes and limited to social media, videos, text messages, and email. As an extension of personal or collective minds, cyberspace determines how people react to different milieus. Multinationals are companies that operate…
law on racial discrimination in the workplaces Employment law is essential in every organization that has more than one employee. The rules help in shaping the employer-employee relationship by outlining the expectations of each party. The laws can either be made by both the federal and state. Either the employer or employee can sue in a court of law when one party breaks the law. The Civil Rights Act of 1964: Title VII prohibits discrimination on employees based on race, sexual orientation, marital status, disability, age, nationality and religious affiliation, among others. This paper discusses the law on racial discrimination in the workplaces. This law prohibited discrimination based on the race of an individual. In the U.S, the native whites have in most cases found favour during recruitments, promotions, duty allocations and payments over other races in the U.S. For instance, and Brooks reports that only 3.2 per cent of blacks hold executive positions in the well-established organizations in the U.S. Out of that number, it is only 0.3 per cent which holds CEO positions. This is a clear indication…
The American experience that ended with the War (1931-1939), Throughout history, the world has experienced many events and experiences that have brought significant changes. World wars are some of the events that have shaped the globe and the lives of people greatly. The era of world 2 affected not only the United States but also other countries across the universe. Nevertheless, Americans remember themselves rightly or wrongly during the three-time periods associated with the era of World War 2. In a nutshell, Americans hold positive and negative perceptions of the experiences related to the three-time periods. However, I agree that Americans were liberators of an oppressed world fighting a just war, making the world and their lives better off for it. The American experience that ended with the War (1931-1939), Before the World War 2, there were many happenings, experiences, and encounters that took place. In particular, the people and leaders of the United States had engaged in several undertakings and deals, but unfortunately, ended with the War. Allowing immigrants to settle in America is one of the experiences that…
The Concept of Community Integration in Eradicating Poverty The world has experienced tremendous growth in economies since World War II. However, some areas in the developed countries and the majority of the regions in the developing world are still experiencing high rates of poverty. A 2018 report showed that more than one billion people again experience extreme poverty, especially in rural areas(The World Bank, 2018). A 2015 speech by Mia Birdsong, The Story We Tell About Poverty isn’t right, highlights how poverty has continued to persist despite numerous efforts and researches to eradicate poverty. According to Birdsong, the problem with the concepts put in place to curb poverty is leaving out the poor people in the planning (Birdsong, 2015). People living in poverty are only given financial support and different types of aid as a form of support. However, this strategy does not nurture different talents available in these regions. The traditional approach to engaging in socioeconomic issues such as health programs and local training remains mostly under the control of governments and corporations. The community is rarely involved…

Medical malpractice or professional negligence Medical malpractice or professional negligence occurs when a mistake by a healthcare professional leads to injury or death of a patient. The error may be due to carelessness or forgetfulness. Malpractice must meet three conditions before it can be proven: the mistake fails to meet accepted medical standards, causes injury that would not have happened had the practitioner not been involved and must result in substantial damages worth pursuing litigation for. The average number of lawsuits filed in the United States annually is 17,000, which translates to the average American doctor expecting a lawsuit once every seven years (Chima, 2016). Diagnostic errors result in the highest number of malpractice lawsuits. The impact of a malpractice lawsuit to a practitioner is not only financial but can also affect their reputation and emotional well-being. Some of the recommended practices to avoid medical malpractice lawsuits include effective communication with patients, documentation, informing consent to patients, updating law standards, and follow-up. Below is a review of three actual malpractice lawsuits. Case 1: Failure to Perform an X-ray Each year,…
