...For centuries the controversy between nature and nurture has been argued among experts. The debate is whether environmental influences or genetic inheritance is responsible for our human makeup. History of Nature versus Nurture From the thirteenth century researcher to present day, the nature nurture controversy is anything but a new topic, although techniques and biases may differ throughout the centuries. In the Beginning In 1874, Francis Galton, published his book English Men of Science: Their Nature and Nurture, which “lays partial claim to the nature versus nurture phrase” (Groff, 1998, para.1). Galton states nature and nurture, “separates under two distinct heads the innumerable elements of which personality is composed. Nature is all that a man brings with him into the world; nurture is every influence from without that affects him after his birth” (Galton, 1874). However, in 1911 a manuscript was found dating back to the thirteenth century which suggested the terms of nature and nurture as well. Previous to this, the philosophers Aristotle and Plato make the assertion of nature and nurture in the period between 428 B.C and 322 B.C. It is hard to speculate when this debate truly began. As the Pendulum Swings Though nature and nurture were speculated on, the debate did not become widely known until the 1800’s. The pendulum weighed more on the nature side of the debate until the early 1900’s due to men such as...

...Analysis of Health Care Reform Ima Student Grand Canyon University: HCA 530 Month Day, Year Analysis of Health Care Reform Health care reform is a controversial topic that it is both political and emotional. The debate goes on about the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and its legality on both sides of the aisle. This paper will detail concerns about health care reform including cost, quality, and access. This paper will answer the question if the current health care system is a market failure that requires government involvement, will detail changes proposed from both political parties and will summarize elements needed for reform in health care. Health Care Cost, Quality, and Access Health care cost, quality, and access are central to health care reform. There is no surprise the expense of health care in the United States. In the year 2010 health care was 17.9% of the gross domestic product (GDP) and costs continue to rise (Hicks, 2014). In contrast, health care is 8.7% of the GDP in the United Kingdom (Hicks, 2014). There is much work to do in the United States to get and keep health care costs under control. Health care quality is increasingly important and the ACA has emphasized quality care. Health care organizations are incentivized to decrease infections in hospitals and provide better quality care. Payment from Medicare is being aligned with quality and increased patient satisfaction. If patients acquire hospital acquired infections during their hospital stay, it will...

...published a report and accompanying draft bill covering the same territory as this Position Paper. It was commis-sioned by Pres Nelson Mandela, tabled in Parliament in 2000, but offi-cially ignored by the ministry of health. It should serve as a basis for public debate. Analogously, termination of pregnancy (abortion) legisla-tion was, in part, the outcome of such a public debate and legislative process. Globally, many countries are addressing assisted dying, albeit in dif-ferent ways. Some have legalised assisted dying and others have set cri-teria for not prosecuting it. 8 End-of-Life Decisions, Ethics and the Law In South Africa, the debate should be based on the spirit, values and rights in the Constitution, particularly the interpretation of the right to life and its intimate connection with the right to dignity. Our Constitu-tion should shape a moral community that binds us together as citizens, despite the different personal, ethical and religious beliefs we might have in our local communities. A constitutional democracy means, among others, that we resolve our differences about the social arrange-ment of society by appealing to the Constitution, thus granting others the right to live by their convictions even if we disagree with them. Ultimately, at issue here is the suffering of people in the end-stage of life. Silence is also a choice for which we are responsible. This Position Paper was funded by the Ethics Institute of South Afri-ca (EthicsSA). The Addendum shows the...

...huge controversy of whether surrogate motherhood should be legal. This controversy has started huge debates worldwide. It has brought attention to doctors, sociologists, feminists, historians, and people of different cultures, races, classes and religions. The major overwhelming arguments is that the act of surrogacy should be illegal. The issues and objections surrounding the surrogate motherhood is that it is considered baby selling, finding the legality of its contracts, and the class of people, whether they are rich or poor. The other concerns are the traditional rights of the birth mothers, the psychological impact of these children who are born under these contracts. The purpose of this paper is to introduce, discuss and analyze the controversy of a surrogate mother. The paper will find the reasons of why women want to become surrogate mothers. This paper will examine the different viewpoints that have been in conflict for many years. The paper will reveal how some women chose to become surrogate mothers just for the money and that some do it because they want to help couples who cannot produce children. This paper will also show that every woman may not choose to be a surrogate, but they have their own reasons for it to be supported. The paper will discuss the ethical issues presented by a surrogate mother. This paper will also analyze and give insights on the debate whether there can be anything immorally or morally correct with becoming a surrogate mother....

...health policy proposal: Mandating that all female students entering the 6thgrade obtain the cervical cancer vaccine. Discuss the policy and economic questions associated with this proposal. Interest groups do not have the power to pass laws; however, they can and do influence policy decisions. Provide examples and discuss how interest groups have influenced health policy decisions. For example, motorcycle helmet laws – if we know that the use of a safety helmet can protect individuals from severe head and neck injuries in an accident, why do some states not have full helmet laws for all motorcycle riders? Week 2 Discussion Health policy is profoundly influenced by value-driven issues that cut across the entire U.S. policy landscape. Describe both positions (i.e., for and against) a current debate regarding a value-driven health policy issue. What interests in health policy do you bring to this class? McLaughlin’s Table 1-1 specifies the knowledge and skills called for in a policy analyst. Discuss for which of these areas do you currently feel prepared, and in which ones do you want to gain competence? Why? Week 3 Discussion Argue the following statement: Despite our relatively high level of healthcare expenditure, we may still be getting enough for our money. Discuss the social forces and other issues behind the move toward industrialization. Does industrialization threaten professional autonomy and control? If yes, why? If no, why? Please provide examples to support your...

...The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly BCOM275 University of Phoenix The 1960 presidential debate may be the stalwart for comparison when discussing demonstrative communication. It was the first debate that was televised giving prospective voters the opportunity to see their candidates instead of just hearing them or reading their words. Those who watched the debate gave a clear win to John F. Kennedy who looked cool, calm and relaxed as he argued his points before the moderator. Those who listened to the debate on the radio gave the win to Richard Nixon. Where Kennedy won and Nixon lost was in appearance. Nixon looked disheveled with his perpetual 5 o’clock shadow and pale appearance due to his recent stay in the hospital. Kennedy on the other hand was tan and fit from his campaigning trip to California in the preceding days (Allen, 2012). One could easily argue that Kennedy won the debate on demonstrative communication. Demonstrative Communication is a type of communication that observes nonverbal cues (Cheesebro, O'Connor, & Rios, 2010). The following paragraphs will discuss examples of demonstrative communications and their effectiveness and ineffectiveness, whether positive or negative, for both the sender and receiver of a message. Also discussed will be how listening and responding play a role in demonstrative communication. Staying with the example of the 1960 debate, there are many examples of how demonstrative communication is effective and ineffective for...

...Association for Information Systems (Volume13, 2004) 443-455 443 FROM THE CIO POINT OF VIEW: THE “IT DOESN’T MATTER” DEBATE Larry DeJarnett The Lamar Group larry.dejarnett@thelamargroup.com Robert Laskey Revelation 360 bob@revelation360.com H. Edgar Trainor Paramount Pictures ed.trainor@paramount.com EDITOR’S FOREWORD This article differs from all the articles CAIS published previously in that it is a debate on the nature of IT written by practitioners from three different points of view. It deals with IT Doesn’t Matter, a polemic written by Nicholas Carr, then editor of the Harvard Business Review in which he argued that the days when IT offered strategic advantage are long since gone and that managers therefore should undertake a different approach to IT. The paper, obviously, became notorious in the IS community. On December 3, 2003, the Southern California Chapter of the Society for Information Management, at its regular meeting invited three of its members with long experience as chief information officers to debate the issue. The title of the meeting was: "I.T. Doesn't Matter or Does It? How to Improve the Value and Perception of I.T.” The three debaters were assigned a position to argue: favorable to Carr (Laskey), neutral (DeJarnett), and unfavorable to Carr (Trainor). Edited versions of their remarks are presented below. Keywords: value of IT, perception of IT, role of IT, Nicholas Carr, I.T. Doesn’t Matter, IT Does Matter, contrarian point-of-view, strategic...
