...Mediating Mark Duggan The press is a section of the mass media industry that focuses on presenting current news to the public and is one of the largest forms of media we have in Britain. The press and media in general insist that it is only fact and truth that is reported to the public, however, there are times when the media either permits itself to be manipulated or to act as the agent of manipulation; seemingly, we as the public, receive the opinions of the few, select people that are running the mass media who use the power of mediation to position audience response through encoded values with the media acting as an opinion leader (2-step flow). Mark Duggan was shot by armed police in Tottenham, August 2011, after officers stopped the cab he was in to make an arrest. Duggan was unarmed at the time yet just hours later stories were circulating the media about a dramatic ‘shootout’ with Duggan represented as a ‘violent gangster’. Within just two days of his death, riots had erupted in London as well as copycat riots in other cities up and down the country and reported globally by the press. Before getting out of hand, the riots were a direct response to the actions of the police. Mark Duggan didn’t hit the front page until after the riots had begun and it is likely that, similar to the case of Stephen Lawrence, the audience will never fully know the reality of the initial event. The final inquest report (2014) ruled that the killing was lawful. Looking back on the newspaper...

...There is a continuum between high and low when people communicate depending on the kind of relationship, purpose, and communication based on it being more or less explicit or direct. In the article “Mediating Conflicts of Need, Greed, and Creed” author Zartman talks about how the civil war and the unfulfilled basic needs. Ethnic conflict is often looked at as the common drive by private values and beliefs. The author discusses how mediating conflict can be a tough job for those that are not knowledgeable about how to prevent or resolve it. Thus far we have discussed how culture impacts conflict resolution and the differing strategies to address it. However, culture intersects with other motivations, such as need, greed, and creed, influencing how individual and group behavior complicate developing a productive...

...The Mediating Affect of CRF Within the Central Nucleus of the Amygdala in Rats 1.Summarize the background of the article, and how does it relate to the general article. Alcohol consumption is characterized by excessive consumption which leads to feelings of increased anxiety and other negative emotional states.Consequently, these emotions lead to further consumption.Similar to human alcoholics, ethanol- dependent animals show signs of anxiety like behaviors and self administrate ethanol during periods of withdrawal. CRF, also known as corticotropin releasing factor helps mediate the increased anxiety during withdrawal.Additionally,regions of the amygdala are comprised of the CRF system, although unknown where the specific sites are responsible for the CRF component of excessive drinking. Also, numerous studies have shown that the amygdala is involved in “mediating the behavioral and physiological responses associated with anxiety.” This relates to the general article which focuses on the consumption of drug and alcohol, triggering feelings of anxiety which can be quieted by consuming more of it.Specifically, the amygdala is the part of the brain where the feelings of anxiety are triggered. Moreover, new research is showing alcohol's involvement in the transformation of the chemical architecture of the brain, allowing the brain's stress response to contribute to its dependency. CRF, also known as the corticotrophin releasing factor, is a chemical that is involved in the brain's...

...Introduction The issue of domestic violence has been examined continual both nationally and internationally, and has generated substantial amounts of literature and observed work on the subject. In 1980, women in the United States joined with women globally to illuminate domestic violence as a concern that needed international attention (Alhabib, Nar, & Jones, 2009). Adding credibility to the cries of women internationally, the United Nation “International Bill of Human Rights” in 1979, and the convention of the elimination all forms of discrimination against women in 1985, was enacted to prevent the unequal treatment of women (Weingourt, Maruyama, Sawada, & Yoshino, 2001). Intimate Partner Violence threatens the lives of women socioeconomic well-being, security, and the lives of millions of women globally each year (McAllister, & Roberts-Lewis, 2010). Women of every class, color, socioeconomic status, and religious association experience the affects of intimate partner violence is frequent, complex, and far-reaching with social and economic consequences (Ringel, & Park, 2008). Interpersonal violence has become a human rights and socioeconomic problem (Hageman & White, 2001). The cost and consequence of which are revealed in the expenditures of global governments. The socioeconomic cost of domestic violence as shown is shocking: “Australia $700 million; Canada $1.2 billion; Chile $1.73 billion; Nicaragua 32.7 million; Jamaica $454,000 or...

...The Mediating Effect Of Pet Attachment Support Between Loneliness And General Health In Older Females Living In The Community A Research Critique of the article The article of Cheryl A. Krause-Parello was a great article on the relationship between loneliness and general health in older woman. The study sought to determine a decrease in loneliness and general health in older women when a pet attachment support was used as a coping mechanism. Woman in the ages of 55-84 who resided in independent or senior citizen communities with pets were given an informed consent that was approved by the Institutional Review Board of Rutgers (Krause-Parello, 2008). The study instruments included; PGWB schedule, a general health subscale, The Revised UCLA loneliness scale and the Pet attachment scale. The scales used various psychological tests measuring depression, loneliness and psychosomatic symptoms. The data were analyzed using Pearson product-moment (questions one through three) and regression analysis (question four) (Krause-Parello, 2008). It also used the two-tailed test, which determined the level of significance at the .05 level (Krause-Parello, 2008). The third regression analysis, the mediator (PAS) did not have a significant effect on the dependent variable’s general health; which showed a decrease demonstrating a mediating effect of pet attachment between loneliness and general health (Krause-Parello, 2008). The result of this study does support the mediating...

...Analysis procedures The proposed hypotheses were tested using structural equation modelling (SEM). Two models were tested. Model 1 (Partial mediation model) was used to test H1, H2, H3, H5 and H6. The combined results of Model 1 and Model 2 (Direct effect model) were useful in testing H4. Measures for the key constructs included in the models are assumed to be reflective. in nature consistent with previous research. Hence, a reflective specification of the first-order dimensions is assumed. By definition, consumer-based brand equity is “reflected in the dimensions of brand awareness, brand associations, perceived quality and brand loyalty”. These four dimensions constitute a higher-order consumer-based brand equity construct. Hence, consistent with previous research in the area of brand equity (e.g. Yoo and Donthu, 2001) a reflective specification of consumer-based brand equity is appropriate. Similarly, consistent with previous research in the areas of brand signalling (e.g.Erdem et al., 2006), and source credibility (e.g. Ohanian, 1990), measures for brand credibility and endorser credibility are assumed to be reflective in nature. Endorser attractiveness, expertise and trustworthiness were modelled as observed independent variables, which measured endorser credibility. Brand expertise and trustworthiness were modelled as observed independent variables, which measured brand credibility. Brand awareness, brand associations, perceived quality and brand loyalty were modelled...

...Challenges of being an Planned Parenthood Advocate and Neutral Facilitator Lorraine Sardin BSHS/441 July 28, 2912 Stephanie Taylor Challenges of being an Advocate and Neutral Facilitator In this paper I will discuss in detail the legal challenges of dual relationships of ethical and moral challenges of advocating and mediating on a personal perspective of integration. Also to identify in this paper, individual approach to advocating and mediating within the Planned Parenthood Center’s site, and my personal philosophy. My personal perspective as a Clinician that offers mediator services like the services that is offered by the Planned Parenthood Agency. At this agency it is important for a mediator to have confidence in the services provided, and has no personal objections to issues like abortion. In order to be a nonbiased person mediating for two parties that may be involved with abortion or an individual, it would be important that the clinician has no conflicts of interest with the persons that decide to have the Abortion. An Abortion is a critical decision for a mother to make. In our country, there are that believe that Abortion is “MURDER” no matter what the situation. Mediation for Abortion, the mediator has to accept the mother’s decision no matter what their own personal beliefs are. Because with mediation it does not involve changing the client’s minds or making decisions for them; what it involves is facilitating communication...

...In consequence, on a global scale, not only some developed countries with strong capability to absorb and implement new ideas, but also some emerging developing countries, are taking measures to inspire entrepreneurship and innovation with purposes of benefiting economic development from these competitive advantages (Stoneman, 1995; Zhao, 2001). It is universally held that entrepreneurship and innovation are complementary and their combination can efficiently contribute to economy performance (Grupp, 2001; Stoneman, 1995). During the transfer from idea creation to eventually economy development, innovation is supposed to be a necessary condition, but it also demonstrates great insufficiency which can be completed by entrepreneurship’s mediating effects (Audretsch, 1995; Camp, 2005). This essay will primarily conduct a brief definition of entrepreneurship and innovation while introduce the role of problem solving and creativity, and thereby observe the synergy between entrepreneurship and innovation. Then theoretical and practical analysis will be made in their repective relationship with economy development. Ultimately, the holistic realtionship between entrepreneurship, in conjunction with innovation, and economy development will be discussed. Entrepreneurship and innovation are inclined to be misinterpreted identical since they both indicate creation and new development, but meanings they rootly represent are distinctive. Innovation is an instrument that intergrates, disperses...

...This article “Relationship between Performance Based Pay, Interactional Justice and Job Satisfaction: A Mediating Model Approach” offers and insight on the presence of interactional justice in compensation and its mediating effect in the relationship between performance based pay and job satisfaction. The writers explains that numerous studies have been conducted to examine the relationship between performance based pay and job satisfaction and states that performance based pay has a significant impact on employees in terms of their attitude and behaviour towards work especially in job satisfaction citing various publications in their study. The writers then introduces the interactional justice component into their writings quoting several studies that found out that the interactional justice is indirectly affecting the equation of relationship between performance based pay and job satisfaction. However, less is to be said about researches mainly on the significance of interactional justice in the equation above. The writers mentioned that there are not many studies done to specifically explore this relationship thus motivates them to research more on this issue, hence this article. The methodology of research was conducted via cross-sectional research with emphasize on survey questionnaire where 334 questionnaires were distributed to employees who have worked in the private institutions of higher learning in Malaysia. The results were tabulated via a Statistical Package for...

...Short Paper: Mediator Objectivity In at least four paragraphs, describe the proper role of a family mediator as it relates to objectivity in the mediation process. When it comes to being a good mediator, one has to learn how to keep their opinions to themselves. A good mediator will be able to “build rapport with people in conflict while being both nonjudgmental and compassionate” (Practitioner’s guide) Being able to do this is something that has to be worked at everyday. Mediators are people just like us and they have biases just like we do. Conscious or not these biases need to be put out of their mind when mediating a case. A mediator must see past what ever personality trait that they may find annoying or undesirable in a client. When the mediator sees past this trait, they are better able to treat both parties with respect and equally. This allows the party with the undesirable trait to be able to speak their thought fully and it also allows them to feel more comfortable and may even promote them being more involved in the mediation sessions. Putting the biases out of their mind is and keeping a non judgmental attitude becomes even “more essential because a mediator hears the most egregious stories of spousal behavior while each spouse simultaneously clamors for sympathy” (Practitioner’s guide) There will probably be times that the mediator may review a case and begin to build an idea as to how the case should turn out. It is in cases like this that it is most important...

First is to determine the impact of brand experience, brand trust and affective commitment on purchase intentions. Second is to ascertain the mediating role of brand love in the relationships of purchase intentions and word-of-mouth. The data was obtained from 265 cell phone customers from Islamabad and Rawalpindi cities of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. Simple random sampling technique was used for the collection of data and the data was analyzed in SPSS 15.0 where correlation and regression analyses were performed. Results indicate that brand experience, brand trust and affective commitment have significant positive impacts on purchase intentions. In this relationship, the intensity of the impact of affective commitment is quite high as compared to other variables. Other results revealed that purchase intentions significantly predict brand love and word-of-mouth, and brand love also significantly predicts word-of-mouth. And finally, brand love has partial mediation affect in the relationship of purchase...
