Insights from a Pharmacist Interview The interview with the pharmacist opened a window of realization for how critical pharmacists are in health care. Particularly in this reflective analysis, it should be essential to emphasize the roles that come into play with medication management, interprofessional communications, and how these interactions enhance client care as collaborative. Key Takeaways from the Interview The pharmacist highlighted critical issues concerning a pharmacist’s role in the care of clients. She emphasized proper management of medications since the patient needs the right medication and dosage (Anderson et al., 2019).

Systemic Inequities and Economic Incentives in Mass Incarceration Mass incarceration is one of the most pressing problems in human society today and presents a genuinely complex junction of social, racial, and legal factors. Such a phenomenon that the rate of people imprisoned in the United States has increased significantly over the past decades provides grounds for deep reflection on principles of justice, equality, and normality. It directly and immediately affects individual and community levels and resounds within broader social structures relating to economic opportunities, family dynamics, and political landscapes. Therefore, understanding mass incarceration’s dynamics is very important in dealing with its implications and finding possible solutions to reduce its harmful impact on society. The present paper critically examines Keramet Reiter’s 2018 work, “Mass Incarceration,” for exposure to systemic flaws engendering mass incarceration in the United States. It evaluates how arguments and evidence are presented to shape an understanding of this intricate problem and chart paths forward. Summary of “Mass Incarceration” by Keramet Reiter Overview of the critical arguments and findings of the book In the book “Mass Incarceration” (2018), Keramet…

With the shutdowns and restrictions on social contacts, many companies had to either shut down or scale back their operations, meaning millions lost their jobs (Alfaro et al., 2020). The unemployment rate rose to skyrocket to a high of 14. from 2. 5% in April 2020 to 8%, the highest record since the Great Depression (Petrosky-Nadeau & Valletta, 2020). This was a general increase in unemployment, which affected various areas. Most people came to financial hardship; thus, they had to rely on their unemployment benefits and other government programs. Purchases, a critical factor in the United States economy, were reduced as consumers saved more…

Some essential facets that will be addressed in the paper include Wilson’s conceptions about the creation of the League of Nations, the fight for the idea, the internal conflict, the external fight, and the persistent tenacity of his or her fight for the League of Nations.

As noted in “Wilsonianism: the ‘’Dynamics of a Conflicted Concept’’ (Thompson, 2010),…

Original Post: For the discussion post on branding, I would suggest focusing on how brands are responding to the rise of crowd culture and social media, as discussed in the HBR article “Branding in the Age of Social Media” by Douglas Holt. Social media and crowd culture significantly alter the nature of branding processes, and it is impossible not to mention it. Relevant to the article by Holt, social crowds are culture makers, and the current approaches to branded content and celebrity sponsorships are fading with the new technologies. These contemporaneous crowd cultures, with their shared ideologies and interests, are not only actively participating in cultural discourses but also dictating the terms of Entertainment like never before. However, one particular brand that has managed to embrace the new age appropriately is Chipotle.

This strategic approach hit the nerve of this social-media-broadcasted movement through its challenging films, namely “Back to the Start” or “The Scarecrow,” which criticized…
