Leadership Exemplar This story begins on a calm Thursday evening at around six o’clock. This evening I was given a full patient assignment. Generally, most of my hospital tasks before included taking care of obstetrical patients, surgical, or medical patients. On this particular evening, I was given an opportunity to attend to one of the young ladies I had taken care of the previous day. Her name was Brenda. She delivered a baby the day before through Caesarean because of the absence of the labor process (Blumenfeld-Kosinski, 2019). The child she had delivered was her first baby. I had established a rapport with Brenda the previous day I took care of her. Upon getting into her room, I found many friends and family members who had visited her. Therefore, I introduced myself to the family and friends and asked Brenda if she would be ok if I completed her assessment at that time. She replied that that was the best time to do it. I requested her company to step out of the room for some time to allow me…

Introduction: Armen Alchian and the Third Law of Demand Armen Alchian (1914-2013) is one of the most well-known and consequential economists in American history. A microeconomic theorist, his contribution to economics is expansive, ranging from founding new institutional economics and developing economic precepts on property rights (Mulherin, 2017). Through his widely accepted text, ‘University Economics,’ Armen developed numerous economic theories and precepts, the most controversial of which is the Alchian and Allen Theorem, commonly flaunted as the ‘third Law of Demand.’ Although the theory appears legitimate on paper, the theory’s practical application does not seem to support the theory’s major precepts. This suggests the theoretical limitations of the theory is void of certain practical precepts, such as the impact of supply, other substitutes apart from the compared substitutes, influence from governments and authorities among others, which suggest this theory should be fixed and involve relationships among other aspects of the economy other than a limited number of substitutes and fixed costs for the theory to be practically applicable. Basics of The Alchian and Allen Theorem The third law of demand,…

Why do you think Howard Zinn entitled Chapter 19 of A People’s History “Surprises”? Zinn examined one of the most rapidly changing eras in America’s history. The nineteen sixties were characterized by a major transformation across the spectrum of sectors, including government, religion, the economy, and culture in general. In the decades following this widespread and widespread changes, a powerful elite worked to restore the status quo. Therefore, this era is a critical part of United States history that needs to be recorded. Most importantly, this era played a critical role in determining the current freedoms and rights enjoyed by all humanity within its borders. This chapter highlights the general revolt against oppression and societal metamorphosis, including the degradation of morality. It is during this era that the entertainment industry explored sexuality more than they had attempted before in history. Musicians, writers, the church, and film-makers addressed current issues, including the Vietnam war, which raised massive public attention and arousal. I think that the events highlighted by this chapter play a huge role in reforms and are a necessary part…

James Wolf was a rising young officer born in England, Westerham, Kent, on 2 January 1727. James grew up with the dream of becoming a military man since he grew up seeing both his father and grandfather serving in the British army. Therefore, at the age of thirteen, James already joined his father’s unit. After two years of hard work and determination, he became an officer after receiving a commission. James later became the British army commander, and in 1759, he instigated Quebec’s capture, which was under French supremacy. Thus, leading the success of Canadian British supremacy. Wolfe is known for formulating tactical theories and crucial improvements in the bayonet and firing techniques essential during his legacy. In the 1750s, Wolfe fought providing service in Ireland and Scotland alongside fighting the 1746 Culloden battle. After capturing Quebec, James, the son of Edward Wolfe, was commissioned at the royal marine and was transferred to the 12th feet almost immediately at the Royal Marines. After the seven-year war that lasted from 1756 to 1763 marked the Paris and Hubertusburg treaties. France lost…

the similarities and differences the approaches to policing exhibit A police officer is a constituted individual empowered by the state to enforce law and order in society. The police ensure the safety of every individual and prevent or solve a crime. They have been permitted by law to arrest criminal suspects and to use force during arrests. Policing is an act of supervising or enforcing the law. For instance, a routine patrol made by a security guard is an example of a policing strategy. There are three approaches to policing: strategic policing, community policing, and problem-oriented policing. This essay discusses the similarities and differences the approaches to policing exhibit, their requirements, strengths and weaknesses, and how they impact police-community relationships. Strategic policing This policing focuses on what the police need to achieve instead of how they should achieve it. It helps the police and their superiors to plan effectively on the challenges that are beyond their boundaries. Strategic policing is a policing method that identifies potential threats and their suitable responses. For example, the police are to identify potential criminal…

Importance of nursing advocacy Nursing advocacy is an act of nurses defending both the rights and properties of their patients. Nurses are in a position to protect their patient’s interests, be a part of their decision making, and represent the vulnerable. Since patients spend most of their time with nurses, it means that they should both develop a good relationship full of trust and respect. Nurses are better positioned to be the patient’s advocates since they are the immediate caregivers who experience the healthcare system’s limitations. For this reason, the nurses need to be vocal and be aware of avenues to address these issues, both internally and external environment of the facility, to promote changes that can benefit both the patients and the facility as a whole. In addition to the discussion above, we can state that nursing advocacy is essential for developing the nurse-patient relationship. The nurse and a patient eventually develop a unique bond during the time they spend together, thus giving proper insight into how the patient and families would wish to be treated. Developing such a…

Genetic cancer testing is vital as it will unearth some of the undiscovered genetic mutations that may be cancerous. These genes may be seen in their early stages and then mutate later to become dangerous to the human body submerging the body cells with their powers. Most of the hereditary genetic cancer cells are breast cancer, both one and two, ovarian cancer, and colon cancer. Other cancers that have been linked to a genetic mutation are fallopian tube cancer and peritoneal cancer. It will be imperative for the family health records to be accessed by every family member to know if there is any cancer history in their midst. After any suspicions of hereditary cancer in the family, it will be essential in conducting the genetic test from a health professional who has adverse knowledge in all types of cancer and the hereditary behaviors of the cancer cells. Upon realizing any hereditary cancer that runs into our family, I will, therefore, stand out and get tested. The considerations that I would have taken into account to prompt me to go…

The Age of Criminal Responsibility Introduction Researchers in different fields have dissected the concept of liability age and capacity responsibility. Countries have various ages of criminal responsibility, which affect psychologists and sociologists’ attitude towards children’s rights. Thus, the researchers’ application to criminal and tort liability of children is still inconsistent. Rarely has an interdisciplinary approach efficiently dealt with the concept of criminal responsibility and its effects on legal forms. The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Children (UNCRC) describes the best child’s interests as a useful criterion for implementing child-related policies. The Criteria is used by various entities across countries, courts of law. Mathews (2016) suggests that courts of law should apply children’s developmental stages in determining the age of criminal responsibility. Children’s psychological and physical development demands specific consideration in a country’s criminal justice system (Kemp et al., 2017). In this regard, this study evaluates arguments around the age of criminal responsibility, across countries, from a psychological perspective, considering the implementation of moral development theories. Contribution from Psychology It is important to assess how children’s capacity to…
