Module 8 Discussion A tort is a commonly used term in lawsuits involving a health expert and a patient. The term is used to refer to personal injuries that one person inflicts on another either through performed or omitted actions. Meaning, one has either failed to meet their responsibility or has acted below the allowable standard of care. In nursing practice, a tort is proposed to result from either negligence or malpractice. Sometimes, in lawsuits related to the torts, the defendant may not have been responsible for the cause of injury. Instead, it may be because he or she has some contractual agreements of reimbursing another party for the act of tort. This is how the doctrine of indemnification works. It allows the shifting of the fault from one defendant to another. Therefore, it is significant to demonstrate that the theory of indemnification only furthers the concept that individuals are ultimately responsible for their own actions. Indemnification is the duty of one party to agree to shoulder damages that another party owes to a third party. The duty only arises…

Social Norms As a term, “social norms” can have a variety of understanding and interpretations. However, the present purposes insist that these differences in definitions do not bear any significance because it is easier to depend upon the conventional understandings. Still, if a definition is a necessity, then it can be said that social norms refer to the approving and disapproving social attitudes that specify what must be done and what should not be done (Bicchieri, 2017). Social norms exist in all areas of the society with norms about dating, littering, smoking, when to stand and sit, and when to express anger, how and why to express it. Social norms are there for every aspect of human behaviour. It is common to hear the response “it isn’t done” to certain conducts even when the relevant “it” is already done. Such attitudes exceptionally span on a wide range and may or may not maintain themselves because of the reflective judgements Bicchieri (2017), observes that a social norm can count regardless of whether or not people have thought deeply about the sense…

Summary of Graphics Design Colour theory has several definitions, design applications, and concepts. The three primary color categories include color harmony, color wheel, and the context of the way colors are used. The color wheel was first introduced by Sir Isaac Newton in 1666. Primary colors include yellow, red, and blue. Secondary colors are orange green and purple, while tertiary colors are red-orange, blue-purple, yellow-green, yellow-orange, and blue-green. Colour harmony refers to an attractive arrangement of colors. Fundamental formulas forming color harmony include analogous colors, complementary colors, and color schemes. The color context is primarily on the behavior of colors concerning other shapes of colors. Grayscale refers to the shade of grey with no apparent color. The darkest shade is black, while the lightest possible color is white. The three primary colors represent equal brightness for the intermediate shades of grey. There are various underlying principles of design. This article shows twelve principles of design that are often used. These include contrast, balance, emphasis, proportion, hierarchy, repetition, rhythm, pattern, white space, movement, variety, and unity.  Other design principles include color,…

Post and Reply The normal distribution is a probability function that describes how the values of a variable are distributed. It is a symmetric distribution where most of the observations tend to lie around the central peak and the probabilities for values further away from the mean taper off symmetrically towards either extreme (Ahsanullah M. K., 2014).  The mean, mode, and median tend to lie on the same point to attain symmetry. Furthermore,  the data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far apart from the mean. In a business environment, normal distribution plays a crucial role in quality control as it aids in determining whether a product is standard or sub-standard by assuming previously set standards equal to mean. If a product lies below the mean, then its substandard and the vice versa is true. It also plays a significant role in determining business cycles where the mean is set to be x-axis. The troughs are the recession points whereby the business is performing below the expected standards, and the crests depict boom points where the company is at its…

PREFERRED ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE Reaction. The feedback provided is that I prefer an organization with a more organic structure that is innovative, flexible, and team-based. I slightly agree with this feedback due to the reasons discussed below. Innovations are necessary for most organizations that operate in this day and age. Most organizations need innovative employees for their day to day operations due to current trends in the market. Some factors that demand innovation include; change in market demand, population increase, elements of weather, and change in the supply of resources. Encouraging innovations in organizations also helps in the inclusiveness of employees, and this helps employees feel appreciated. Flexible organizations limit rules and regulations that negatively impact employees’ optimism. They aim towards making the work environment enjoyable for the employees. However, flexibility can lead to a lower discipline among the employees. They might end up going to work late and lowering performance due to late work submissions. Due to this reason, I prefer a more rigid organizational structure as compared to a flexible one. Organizations that encourage teamwork motivate employees to improve…

Social Media and Political Socialization The rise of the internet as a medium of communication continues to alter traditional concepts of political socialization. Traditionally, cultural and demographic factors were responsible for an individual’s political socialization, as interactions with families, friends, school, religion and media played a significant role in influencing their political opinions. However, the advance of social media continues to sees politicians and sell their ideologies to members of the public in a real-time fashion, which fosters information overload and leaves minimal room for their scrutiny (Grow and Ward 1). This situation continues to lure the masses to form their political ideals based on what politicians post online and not the information acquired through social forums that encourage face-to-face deliberations. It, therefore, profoundly explains the rapid spread of populists among the American masses. In this regard, politicians, as agents of political socialization, have a responsibility to ensure that they disseminate accurate information through their social platforms. In an era where fake news marks political campaigns, it is increasingly likely for voters to institutionalize incorrect or false claims and ideologies…

Social Media and Privacy             There are more than 3.2 billion people around the world that have access to Facebook or other social media, which means that there is 3.2 billion people’s personal information out there. These social media sites have all the freedom to scrape data from these users without them knowing about it until they end up seeing ads for specific, personal problems, or even political preferences. This alarming fact brings attention to address the problem of unethical data scraping by social media platforms. Government regulation on internet policies and data collection should be implemented to protect owners from breaching on the information.         This approach may not be the solution to the invasion of privacy, although I do not agree that social media companies use this information with bad intentions, with Facebook admitting to the collection of data, it is clear that a solution is needed. The government needs to reform internet policies and the way social media collects data to protect user privacy. Reasons necessary for this policy is that users are being manipulated while there…
