...In Beals syndrome, most people with Beals syndrome are unable to fully extend their joint as they are bent and deformed which can lead to restricted movement and the eyes are not affected like in MFS.2 Shprintzen-Goldberg syndrome can be differentiated from Marfan syndrome by the presence of exophthalmos, craniosynostosis, and mental retardation.6 MASS phenotype never demonstrate progressive aortic dilatation or lens dislocation.6 Familial thoracic aortic aneurysm syndrome usually shows vascular diseases that can also be associated with MFS, including aortic aneurysms and dissections.1 Individuals does not show general features of connective tissue disorders and no specific genes have been labelled and therefore all the family members can be at risk.1 Management principles of MFS have proven as an effective diagnosis for individuals with familial aortic aneurysm.1 Homocystinuria due to cystathionine is another differential diagnosis, where patients are presented with tall physique, long-overgrown bones and ectopia lentis.1 However, they do not have aortic aneurysms or dissections.1 They are inherited as autosomal recessive, where MFS is dominant, and individuals have mental retardation due to thromboembolism and incidence of coronary artery atherosclerosis.1 Raised concentration of plasma homocystine in the blood test can help distinguish between MFS and...

...The Smith family, comprised of John, Carol, and their three children Benjamin, Kathy, and Sophia, presents a multifaceted scenario for criminological analysis. Within this family unit, a range of behaviors and interactions emerge, ranging from criminal activity to religious involvement, from rebellious acts to nurturing pursuits. Through the lens of criminological theories, specifically social learning theory, social control theory, and strain theory, I will delve into the underlying dynamics shaping the Smith family's experiences and choices. By examining the family's circumstances through these theoretical perspectives, I aim to gain a deeper understanding of the mechanisms driving their actions and interactions, Social learning theory suggests...

...Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Systems Theory and Applications for Management4otherwise occur. However, the analysis done by Bronfenbrenner (1994) demonstratesthat factors, such as birth weight, mother’s education, and family situation impactchildhood development. The concept of external factors influencing an individual makessense. Lastly, understanding that the time one develops in, as well as the passage of time, both influence psychological development is an important concept. Application of Ecological Systems Theory to Management Numerous approaches have utilized Ecological Systems Theory to understand phenomena observed today. One study looked at dual-earner spouses and the impacts of employment and home life (Kulik & Rayyan, 2006). Another paper assesses impacts of changes to higher education by state governments (Poch, 2005). However, a search of databases such as Emerald Insight, Business Source Complete, ABI/INFORM complete,and PsychINFO show a lack of articles correlating Ecological Systems Theory or Bronfenbrenner with either management or leadership.Instead, I believe that Bronfenbrenner’s theory is best applied in developing amanager’s understanding of individuals, actions, and interactions. In particular,understanding the mesosystem and exosystem can benefit managers throughunderstanding sources of employee satisfaction or dissatisfaction. Kulik and Rayyan(2006) show in their research, that there is a correlation between job satisfaction, homesatisfaction, and spousal...

...Pocahontas and the Powhatan Dilemma This fascinating book is a true story that gives us details about the life of Pocahontas and the events that took place during that period. It also helps to distinguish important facts from mythology bordering this amazing yet vibrant woman. Pocahontas, the daughter of the chief Powhatan was able to cross the boundary between the English invaders and the Native American culture. Her life’s history tells us just as much about this strong woman as it does about the two tribes she lived in. John Smith’s rescue from Pocahontas still arise questions and has a lot of misinformation. In this book Camilla does not tell put the misinformation to rest, but she succeeds in a rescue of her own; namely that of the Indian girl from the hands of the other character Pocahontas. This story aims to recall the humanity that the myth of the Pocahontas stole from the real Indian girl. Camilla argues that the Algonquian girl was overthrown into the mythical Pocahontas to assist the needs of the settlers and supporters of Jamestown journey as well as interested spectators within the government and general community of England. Since that time, the love poets, advocates of American exceptionalism, and Hollywood tycoons have continued to twist the reality that the real Pocahontas is no longer in existence. According to Camilla, she “was as brave as all her people – but a real and complicated woman with her own plans, goals and ideas. After the affirmation of this...

...AMN 400 - Consumer Behaviour Assessment Item 1 - Journal Article Critique Word Count: 944 Words Introduction Thøgersen, Jørgensen & Sandager in their 2012 article Consumer Decision Making Regarding a “Green” Everyday Product” discuss consumer’s interaction with brands through the lens of product differentiation and the effects on involvement in the purchase process. The article examines the consumer behaviour of involvement and develops an understanding qualifying the differences between a high involvement interaction and a simple heuristic with respect to an everyday product. The Evaluative result is mixed: The article’s approach demonstrates a highly developed research methodology with clear and concise conclusions. However, there are assumptions made with respect to the participants and the subject matter which detract from the consistency of the article, resulting in a narrow perspective. Summary The article considers brand differentiations in a segmented market, hypothesising the heightened involvement a consumer experiences when brand presentation is geared towards an aspect that connotes emotive associations. The authors conduct observations and interviews with a set of consumers purchasing an “everyday” item from two department stores in Denmark to ascertain their purchasing attitudes and decision making processes when considering brand alternatives. the focus of this study was the engagement of consumers with environmentally sustainable or “green” products;...

...Ethics is the study of determining moral conductivity through critical reflection and analysis. Ethics is a process – it is about getting to a solution by questioning the norms; it is because we have different moral norms (from different moral authorities like societal, familial, cultural, religious, etc.) that we have so many different ethical theories1. Having varied ethics for us to follow allows us to exercise our rationality and put ethics into practice by questioning what we see around us1. This case exemplifies the moral dilemma of how democratic government corruption and monopoly is capable of endangering the public food supply. The ethical dilemma here is whether or not Dr. Chopra did the right thing by violating superior norms and coming out with the ugly truth – more colloquially known as whistle blowing. My convictions are that Dr. Chopra and his team acted ethically in coming out with the truth to help safeguard and protect the health of fellow Canadians. This will be demonstrated through the lens of four moral theories namely, Aristotle’s virtue ethics, deontology and Kantian ethics, utilitarian ethics. The advantages and disadvantages of each school of thought will be presented, followed by a discussion of Dr. Chopra’s whistle blowing according to each philosophy. Aristotle’s virtue ethics stems from the work that Socrates and Plato did; however, it differs in that it focuses on the moral character of each individual as opposed to the rules and principles...

...the surrounding neighborhood which includes his brother’s property. The announcement will take place in one month. ABC Company has asked Luke to keep information regarding the commencement of construction of the store confidential until the announcement. Once the announcement is made, Owen’s house will lose value and Owen might lose the offer he has on the house. 2. Issue Luke, like most people, has multiple sets of obligations to different parties. ABC Company expects Luke to maintain the confidentiality of the project. However, Owen is Luke’s brother and Luke most likely wants the best for him. Luke must decide whether to maintain loyalty to ABC Company or inform Owen of the upcoming events to save him money. 3. Analysis 4.1 Universal Ethics This concept suggests that any action taken should be able to be applied as a universal law, subject to repetition by any and all. If Luke breaches confidentiality and informs his brother Owen of the planned construction then, under universal ethics, anyone could breach confidentiality in favor of other obligations. Obviously, this would not be acceptable and would lead to a chaotic outcome. However, Luke must consider whether it is acceptable to always maintain allegiance to contract over yourself. Luke has the desire to tell his brother about the upcoming project, but reason ties him to the company and his contract for confidentiality. A major...

The concept of managing diabetes in persons 65 and older, carry much responsibility by those who provide care and those receiving care. With marvel surrounding the first set of baby boomers who turned age 65 in January of 2011; it became evident that this country would embark upon its greatest challenge yet in managing the care of older adults. With this in mind, the management of chronic illnesses like diabetes and its associated complications is expected to become even more complex and difficult, with the realization that much is to be considered in preparation to care for this age group. In this analysis using the term management, as it relates to the older adult, implies direct guidance to treatment that is both accessible and practical. Review of Literature To better understand management of diabetes as a concept in adults age 65 and older, a review of disciplines is necessary to offer clarity in obtaining a greater sense of knowledge of the burden this disease places on the patient. In examining this concept...

...but seldom do we witness a conversation that is free of the intention to define the identities of these third world women (in the family construct) (Amos & Parmar ). Family holds a different weight in every culture, therefore by seeking to define the role of the third world woman, Western values are automatically imposed and are considered the “ideal”. This approach, by default, forces the third world woman to silence her thoughts and throw away her experiences in living a certain type of structure, instead of freely acknowledging the evident flaws in the structure and utilizing those experiences to transform the familial relationship herself (Amos, Parmar & Spivak ). Mohanty writes: “The critical assumption that all of us of the same gender, across classes and cultures, are somehow socially constituted as a homogeneous group identified prior to the process of analysis. . . . Thus, the discursively consensual homogeneity of ‘women’ as a group is mistaken for the historically specific material reality of groups of women.” (Mohanty 1984) Although the “ideal” would be that all women experience the exact forms of oppression and face the exact forms of discrimination, thus able to form a unified group; the reality is that women from different areas around the world, different cultures and/or different subalterns have unique situations and are tied down by varying shackles. That only thing that is unifying these women is subordination in general terms and the struggle (misogynistic...

...Derek Hillegas Sport Media Triad Research Write-Up 6/6/14 Michael Sam and his portrayal in the Media Introduction: The number of gay athletes that are starting to come out and announce that they are gay are increasing. Every time this happens it is a shock to people and the media gets a hold of this information and makes it known. Homosexual athletes will face challenges. Most locker rooms have a “don’t ask don’t tell” policy, and there are few openly gay male athletes in hyper masculine sports like American Football. Michael Sam became the first open gay player to enter the NFL draft and eventually would be selected in the draft by the St. Louis Rams. He announced he was gay back in February and ever since them he was the main focal point of the NFL up until the Draft. The main point of this paper is to take basic ideologies such as masculinity, violence, Race, Gender, sexuality or meritocracy, and use these ideologies to analyze how the media portrays Michael Sam. Another point that will be touched upon is how the news media and sport media have different ways of portraying Michael Sam in the media. Methods: The first thing I did to conduct my research was to find 10 media sources that were related to how the media portrayed Michael Sam. In these 10 media sources I was looking for different types of ideologies and how the media used these articles to describe Michael Sam. Once I found 10 media Articles I needed to find 2 more Academic articles. It was going to be hard...

...Running head: RACIALIZED REPRESENTATIONS OF FEMALE BEAUTY 1 Racialized Representations of Female Beauty in Popular Culture (Name) University of New Mexico RACIALIZED REPRESENTATIONS OF FEMALE BEAUTY Racialized Representations of Female Beauty in Popular Culture 2 For the past 22 years People magazine has composed a list of the 50 most beautiful people. The list typically includes movie and television stars, musicians, British royalty, models, and television personalities. Every year the magazine crowns the year’s “most beautiful” and features them on the cover. Of the 22 most beautiful 19 have been women and out of the 19 women 16 have been White. This signals to People’s readers that beautiful means White and everything else does not equate beauty. However, this is not unique to People or even magazines like it, but instead represents a larger trend that is present in all forms of Western popular culture. In the various mediums of popular culture, ideologies about female beauty are exceedingly prevalent and constantly managed and reproduced. These ideologies carry with them the notion that in order to obtain ideal female beauty one must be very thin, young, have long hair, and wear expensive or revealing clothing (Stern, 2004). In addition to this there is also a raced definition of beauty, which predominates Western popular culture and dictates that White women with light hair and eye color can only attain true beauty. By looking closely at fashion magazines...
