...Courtroom Observation and Report I attended a session in Courtroom 265 on September 20, 2012. The 28-year-old Defendant was being held in the Fort Saskatchewan Correctional Center on 3 separate charges, and this trial was his sentencing hearing. While the Prosecutor and the Defendant’s lawyer waited in front of the Judge, the Defendant appeared on the television screen. His lawyer said that he was pleading guilty to mischief, possession of a weapon, and violating his probation. The Judge told the Defendant that the Prosecutor will explain each charge, and he can either agree or disagree with what has been said. The Prosecutor started with the case of mischief. On June 26th, the Defendant’s parents phoned police because their son had wrecked their home while they were out. When they returned, they found him outside breaking windows with a hammer. After the Prosecutor finished, the lawyer revealed that his client suffers from schizophrenia. The Judge asked the Defendant if this series of events was correct, and the Defendant said yes. His guilty plea was accepted. In the weapon possession case, the Prosecutor explained that some City of Edmonton workers were fixing a sidewalk when the Defendant approached and started yelling at them for “destroying” the sidewalk. He then took out a hunting knife and began waving it at the workers, who retreated to their vehicle to call police. The responding officer reported that the Defendant mentioned he was not taking his medication...

...Krasselt Individual Paper In this paper, I will discuss many things. Some of the things that will be discussed will be the ethical, morals, and legal challenges of the dual relationships of an advocate and mediator. Plus, I will discuss my personal philosophy and approach to advocating and mediating. When it comes to an advocate or a mediator, there may be circumstances that both advocacy and mediation may face challenges of ethical, moral and legal. Dual relationships do occur when a professional takes on the two roles and/or sequentially with someone looking for assistance. (Guthmann, Heimes, & Kolvity, n.d.). Dual relationships includes seeing an client for personal reasons and /or providing services to family or friends. Being an advocate or a mediator must always keep the relationship on a professional level. For an advocate or even a mediator to off friendship or any other things such as services or goods, is crossing the professional boundaries. (Mediation Council of Illinois, 1999). To have a duel relationship is a conflict of interest and it does cross the ethical line. Also, there is never any good that comes out of dual relationships. This is according to the Advocacy and Mediation Code of Ethics. There should also be respect when it comes to advocates and mediators and their clients. They are there to provide a service to their clients and it should always be on a professional level. There should never be dual relationships in advocacy or mediation...

...Devil’s Advocate Critique In the play “Devil’s Advocate” by Donald Freed, it talked about people making choices between the good and evil. Making decisions is a very hard thing to do between the choices. It makes people have a hard time to making decisions or escape from those choices. The play takes place in Panama in 1989. It is in the Christmas Eve of 1989 and the time of the American invasion of Panama. There were only two characters act on stage in the play. Those characters are General Manuel Noriega and Archbishop Laboa. General Manuel Noriega is the Panamanian strongman who had worked for the Central Intelligence Agency since 1960. Archbishop Laboa is a famed Jesuit luminary. In the United States invasion of Panama on Christmas Eve 1989, President George H.W. Bush had woven together a tissue of lies and provocation to justify bombing and occupying a sovereign nation, Panama, in order to make what appeared to be a drug bust. General Manuel Noriega was the target of the cosmic sting. He refused the demands of the Ronald Reagan administration. Archbishop Laboa offered him sanctuary, but General Manuel Noriega had to against him. It is hard for him to made a decision. The playwright’s purpose was trying to tell people about the politics. However, the play also told people that when you have to make decisions, you should follow your heart. Do not let others take control of your decisions. If we do not make decisions by our own, we might feel regret about it. I think...

...We are taught in nursing school to be patient advocates, respect all patient rights, so cultural competence is very important. We experience diversity between most of our co-workers in the hospital, with our patients and society. As nurses, we may not always believe or understand our patient’s beliefs but we need to respect them. Knowledge, attitude and skill are important when caring with the different cultures with our patients. KNOWLEDGE is understanding traditions and values as well as ethnic backgrounds. Once this is achieved then the nurse will be able to assist their patient in numerous ways. ATTITUDE is important to realize one's own biases. This will assist in understanding that we don’t have to agree with the beliefs, but respecting their beliefs is a must. SKILL is being able to be flexible and adapt to different situations. I've experienced many different cultures as well as others beliefs that are conflicting with my beliefs. I have always cared for my patients as a patient. I may have had to remind myself that it's not personal, we are all different in this world which makes us all special. Having a patient from India, I had to make sure to rearrange the room so they could pray in the appropriate direction daily.

...Vickey Daley English 236 8 October 2014 Vanity and Greed Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s literary work of the story “Faust” can easily be compared and contrasted to the film The Devil’s Advocate. Though there may be a large time span between the two works they both are able to convey the same main theme. By dealing with the ever present vanity and greed of human nature, both works are able to have the same major plot and theme though almost two centuries apart. Both have just about the same character relationship, the main character of the story is brought vain success by the antagonist and thus the antagonist is tries to make a deal to the protagonist to sell their souls. The first comparison between the story of “Faust” and the film The Devil’s advocate are the similarities between the two protagonists. They are both men who want more in life. In “Faust”, Faust is a scholar who wants to know the purpose of life. He is in despair about his life thus far and in search of purpose, love and power. He has had so many scholastic achievements he feels there is nothing more for him to learn from books. “Faust has studied all of the major subjects in which a Renaissance scholar could receive a degree, so can be understood to have exhausted traditional learning” (Brians 2). In The Devil’s advocate, Kevin Lomax is a vain lawyer in the small town of Gainesville, Florida. Though he is very successful as a lawyer there he isn’t doing or making as much as he knows he could and is seeking...

...volunteered at Emory University Hospital Midtown in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), I had the opportunity to witness the role of a nurse. I have always had an interest in working in the NICU because of the compassion, empathy, and patient advocacy. The relationship between nurses, neonates, and parents of neonates. I have seen nurses be patient advocates for the neonates that have been left behind by their parents; the nurses went the extra mile to take care of those neonates. When I started volunteering, the nurses allowed me to the rock the babies and give them a sense of touch. I have personally seen improvement in babies that needed that sense of touch, it was a great feeling. I also was able to provide a sense of protection to the babies that were lacking comfort. The role of an advocate nurse is to be able to build communicate, trust, educate, support, protect, help, and value the patient (Berman, A., Snyder, S., & Frandsen, G,. 2016. p. 120). The nurse that was taking care of a premature neonate had to make decisions for the neonate because the baby’s mother abandoned him. The nurse became the patient advocate and made sure to provide comfort and care to the neonate as he had no family members. I understood that the nurse plays a vital role in the health care disciplinary team. As a volunteer...

...Specific Population and the Advocate Role There is no doubt that trying to receive assistance for children with disabilities can be a battle. There are so many steps that need to be taken, so many departments that need to be contacted. Being redirected seems to be a norm along with getting the run around. Through all of the process it seems that the most important party has been forgotten, that is the child. Much has changed through the years with regards to assessments, classifications, severities and age grouping. Human Service workers cannot advocate enough on behalf of children. The problem lies on there not being enough advocating for children who really are presumed as not having a voice. Children are the future and it is amazing how little there seems to be done to get help to those in need. This writer believes that the assessment and classification process needs more advocating for change. The assessment and or consultation process is in this writer’s opinion very generic. Questions are asked about certain situations, children are asked to speak in formed sentences and to point at items. The problem with this assessment can arise when the child has certain words engraved for day-to-day activities but might be struggling with basic vocabulary. Some children are good at mimicking and that can be confused for knowledge. The issues and problems carry on. Every child is different and has different struggles; this assessment should be tailored accordingly. A possibly...
