...Amrita Singh ADV 319 Professor Close Abs2238 Research Credits: Analysis The first study I participated in was the Moral and Consumptions study. This research targeted young adults, transitioning through life and coming across several obstacles. This study was important because it really touched on ethics and the relationship it has to consumption and our everyday lifestyles. The research will impact frequent shoppers, couscous buyers and young people that are the most easily persuaded with brand preference and products. The implications I can draw from this research is the team conducting the study wants to learn more about buying patterns and the association it has with peoples personal values. In the study, I was asked about my self esteem, stereotypes on materialism, affection and intimacy, views on shoplifting and how I basically view myself as a young adult in this fast passed consumer driven world. I was given a set of questions as a survey and my answer choices ranged from “Strongly Agree” to “Strongly Disagree”. Overall my reflection on the study was a bit surprised but at the same time glad these questions were asked. I was unsure how to feel about the variety of questions. One set would be asking about intimacy and sexual history, while the next set is my views on materialism and shoplifting. The correlation between the two was hard to understand at first, but if there is a strong relationship between the two this would be the way to find out. From...

Finally the significance and value of it will be discussed, with specific referance to: skilled clinical judgement, involvement, patient advocacy, and clinical learning about larger populations. CINAHL and Medline were the basic data bases used for this literature review. Results: The process of knowing encompasses empiric, aesthetic ethic and personal elementsOn the other hand, " knowing the patient‖ acquires two broad dimensions: a) knowing the patient's patterns of responses and b) knowing the patient as a person. Patterns of responses are essential components for problem solving. Conclusions: The process of knowing the patient appears to be an integration of the four patterns that Carper identified. Moreover, knowing the patient was found important for clinical judgement personal involvement, patient advocacy and clinical learning. In order to enhance the ability of nurses to...

...Reflection Paper 1 HROD 493 Dr. Laurie Milton Negotiation is a day to day process that people engage in everyday of their lives, sometimes without even knowing it. Negotiations occur for several reasons: to agree on how to share or divide a limited resource, to create something new that neither party could do on their own, or to resolve a problem or dispute between parties (Lewicki, Barry, Saunders & Tasa, 2010, p. 2). Since negotiations are so common, one of the most important things I learned from participating in this Business Negotiations class was the importance of preparation. In previous negotiations I was involved in, I would usually enter into the negotiation with little or no idea of the outcome, or how I would reach it. After participating in a few negotiations in class, I soon discovered there are many benefits to be gained by taking the time to prepare for a negotiation. Knowing your limits (reservation point) and alternatives (BATNA) before sitting at the negotiation table for example, can give you the power to ensure that your needs and interests are met, whether by coming to an agreement, or by walking away (Lewicki et al., 2010, p. 74). Going along with this, knowing your settlement point and initial offer can help you anchor your subsequent offers while at the same time gauging whether the negotiation is going in a positive direction. Another important aspect of the preparation phase is knowing what style of negotiation you are participating in...

...Maisonneuve et al. BMC Medical Education (2015) 15:154 DOI 10.1186/s12909-015-0435-x RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access How do general practice residents use social networking sites in asynchronous distance learning? Hubert Maisonneuve1*†, Juliette Chambe2, Mathieu Lorenzo2 and Thierry Pelaccia3*† Abstract Background: Blended learning environments - involving both face-to-face and remote interactions - make it easier to adapt learning programs to constraints such as residents’ location and low teacher-student ratio. Social networking sites (SNS) such as Facebook®, while not originally intended to be used as learning environments, may be adapted for the distance-learning part of training programs. The purpose of our study was to explore the use of SNS for asynchronous distance learning in a blended learning environment as well as its influence on learners’ face-to-face interactions. Methods: We conducted a qualitative study and carried out semi-structured interviews. We performed purposeful sampling for maximal variation to include eight general practice residents in 2nd and 3rd year training. A thematic analysis was performed. Results: The social integration of SNS facilitates the engagement of users in their learning tasks. This may also stimulate students’ interactions and group cohesion when members meet up in person. Conclusions: Most of the general practice residents who work in the blended learning environment we studied had a positive appraisal on...

...Ethical Problems Involved in Undercover Operations Against Lawyers-The Congressional Testimony of Monroe Freedman I. Written Testimony of Professor Monroe H. Freedman Before the Subcommittee on Criminal Law United States Senate Committee on the Judiciary Regarding S. 804-Undercover Operations Act May 16, 1984 Mr. Chairman, and Members of the Subcommittee: Thank you for inviting me to testify regarding S. 804-The Undercover Operations Act. I have been asked to provide relevant biographical information and have done so in a footnote.' My principal concern with S. 804 relates to undercover operations directed against corruption in the administration of justice. I do not mean that such investigations necessarily raise more serious problems than those directed against, say, political organizations, religious groups, or news agencies; indeed, some of my suggestions may be applicable to those areas as well. As one who has a particular interest in the professional responsibilities of lawyers and judges, however, I believe that I can be most useful to the Committee by focusing on that area. A. The Special Need For Undercover Operations against Lawyers and Judges There is surely no need to belabor the importance of integrity in the administration of justice, or the necessity to pursue any corruption vigorously. At the same time, we must recognize that undercover operations directed against lawyers and judges, if inadequately controlled, could have an even more severe...

...Motivating People at Work School: NBS Student Number: 100055687 Submission Date: 06/ 11/ 2013 Student Number: 100055687 Motivating People at Work Motivation is defined as what promote behaviors, which are goal-oriented. Motivation causes people to act. When people do something, they are usually motivated to do it. This essay will conduct a questionnaire and interpret the results of the questionnaire against two motivation theories (i.e. Maslow’s hierarchy of needs and Adams equity theory (Maslow, 1943; Adams, 1965)).Equity theory believes that employees try to maintain equity between the inputs that they make to a job and the outcomes that they receive from the job against the perceived inputs and outcomes of others (Adams, 1965). Maslow(1943) proposed a hierarchy of needs, which include five stages, which can be divided in to divided into basic (or deficiency) needs (e.g. physiological, safety, love, and esteem) and growth needs (self-actualization). Before going to meet higher level of needs, one must meet the lower level needs. This essay will compare results of the questionnaire and the two theories.This results analysis of the questionnaire shows the Adams’ Equity Theory fitting well with the realistic workplace. The theory of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs applies in most cases and can help to explain questions about how to motivate people in work. With regard to question 1 (see Appendix)...
