...In 1972, the American Bar Association wrote “police need personnel in their ranks who have the characteristics a college education seeks to foster: intellectual curiosity, analytical ability, articulateness, and a capacity to relate the events of the day to the social, political, and historical context in which they occur” (Peak, 2008, p. 384). Much of the debate concerning education in policing became mainstream with the civil rights movement at which time law enforcement was center stage in what some perceived as persecution of African Americans in the South. Fast forward 45 years and law enforcement is once again faced with the real or perceived issues of persecuting those within the minority communities. It was believed in the late 1960’s...

...tremendously in regards to civilization, modernization and technological advancement. This knowledge of nursing profession evolved around education, community health nursing, and research. Today, more is required from the nurses before you can practice as a professional nurse to the benefits of the patient, family and community at large. Therefore this has force many nurses to go back to school to attain more knowledge in other to fit into today’s world of nursing and to be able to give excellent and qualitative care to their patient, family and society. According to the American Association of College of Nursing (AACN), “Quality patient care hinges on having a well educated nursing workforce” (2011). There are two types of nursing degrees, an Associate Nursing Degree and a Baccalaureate degree level in nursing. The ADN is a two year program that is task and skill oriented. This type of education received does not prepare them for nursing research and this degree has limited interaction with community health and minimal knowledge of patho-physiology of disease. On the other hand, BSN is a four year program that offer more education in developing the skills on critical thinking, excellent communication skill, decision making, problem solving, logical thinking, analysis of data, excellent knowledge of patho-physiology, community health, quality control, and knowledge in thought process about a patient’s care in other word, it has given them the guide to have good knowledge...

...I was able to reflect on my earlier years and the inequality in education. Valencia et al. (2002) study of Texas Hispanic and African American students in highly segregated minority schools indicate a higher probability of poor performance on the equivalency indicator, compared to white students. I attended inner-city schools and discovered I needed remedial classes in college to write at the basic level of my white counterparts. The Equal Opportunity Program at Fresno State afforded me the opportunity to attend college. Although there have been many discussions regarding affirmative action, the Equal Opportunity Program provided an advantage to underrepresented student. Green’s (2004) perspective of the University of Michigan’s case to take on higher education efforts connected to access and equity clarifies the historical concerns that brought about affirmative action. Under normal circumstances, students with low-test scores would not qualify for acceptance into four-year colleges. The majority of individuals I encountered viewed it as unfair to the more qualified students. I was under the impression I was fighting for equality, but the Diversity class helped me discover I was arguing for equity. There was never a leveled playing field. The injustice began in the public school system with inferior education. Evidence confirms school segregation dates back to the...

...a profession. According to Creasia and Friberg ( 5th edition), nursing has evolved over the course of more than 150 years since inception of the first nightingale school. Since then, nursing continues to encounter numerous and complex challenges like nursing shortages, increase in communicable diseases, increase in auto immune infection, increase in aging population just to mention a few. Currently, in the US, one can become a registered nurse by several means. These are through attaining a hospital bases diploma, a 2-3 year associate degree or a 4 year baccalaureate degree. Nursing students in these different programs are eligible to sit for the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX). According to the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN), passing the NCLEX only assures that the nurse has the minimum technical competency required to safely practice nursing. The Associate Degree program is shorter and more technical skill focused; the course does not include the classes on theory and science of nursing as a profession that are part of BSN programs. It is also cheaper and affordable, thus allowing an individual to start working early. The BSN empowers the future nurse with greater critical thinking and broader patient assessment skills that will enable the nurse make complex decisions. The BSN course content features epidemiology of diseases and knowledge on individual risk factors. The BSN trained nurse is also more aware and sensitivity to cultural diversity...

...Bulacan Agricultural State College Institute of Graduate Studies Pinaod, San Ildefonso, Bulacan A paper presented to Joseph Bareng, Ph. D. Professor In partial fulfillment of the requirements of the subject PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION MATEO, ALDWIN CRUZ MAED E 31 MARCH 2015 CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION “Life must be understood backwards but must be lived forward” -Soren Kierkegaard “Education is not preparation for life… it is life itself…” -John Dewey In the eve of the Philippine Formal Education, Filipinos were already following a system of “training” for the young ones especially in preparing them for life in their communities or tribes. The belief of the “anitos” had given them some sort of “direction” in living their lives. Nature became their “friend and enemy” in honing their young ones’ readiness in facing a new stage of life…Parenthood and Survival. These changed when the Spaniards together with their friars taught them about spirituality and “civilized” culture inclined to the 14th-15kth century beliefs, traditions and practices. Thus, they made the Filipinos memorize and practice these. So, somehow, these Friars seemingly “taught” them to remember through memorization and acculturation. After the First World War, the Americans came bringing with them the system of teaching and education that Philippine society started to embrace. According to historians, this “Formal Education” started in the Philippines with the Americans...

...patient care in today’s health care industry. Nursing shortage is said to occur when the demand for employment of nurses is far greater than the number of nurses willing to be employed at that time (Huber, 2010). According to the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (A.A.C.N.), “the nursing shortage is expected to increase as baby boomers age, and the need for health care increases” (A.A.C.N., 2013, Para 1). In the United States, Registered Nurses (R.N.) make up the largest recorded working population of the health care profession, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that 2.7 percent of the workforce comprises of nurses compared to 3.6 percent in the last 6 years (A.A.C.N., 2013). This decrease is attributed to the current shortage and high turnover of nurses. This current trend in the nursing profession has a great effect on the provision of health care because it has reduced the quality of care of patients, increased accidents amongst patients, absenteeism rates and staffing among others. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the causes of nurse turnover and shortage, find out ways nurse leaders and managers may resolve this problem, and also to discuss the writer’s own personal and professional philosophy of nursing regarding this issue. Nursing shortage is also evident by the reduction in the availability of new nurses, inadequate staffing to meet the high demanding in patients’ needs, to mention but a few. Healthcare organizations need regular, dependable...

...to train as a teacher and for a few years taught elementary school in towns along the coast. He was popular and charismatic, and earned a decent living. But exposure to politics and to a few influential figures sparked in him a greater interest, to go to America. He applied to universities in the United States, and with money raised from relatives, he set out on a steamer in 1935. He reached New York almost penniless, and took refuge with fellow West Africans in Harlem. He then enrolled himself at Lincoln University in Pennsylvania; a small scholarship and a campus job helped him make ends meet. He studied theology as well as philosophy. In the United States, Nkrumah saw alternatives to the British tradition of government. Nkrumah plunged into America's black communities. Founded before the Civil War, Lincoln University was America's oldest black college, and its special atmosphere inspired and comforted Nkrumah. In the summers, he worked at physically demanding jobs in shipyards and construction at sea. He also forged ties with black American intellectuals, for whom Africa was becoming, in this time of political change, an area of extreme interest. He moved London after World War II, where Nkrumah helped organize Pan-African congresses thereby linking the emergent educated groups of the African colonies with activists, writers, artists, and well-wishers from the industrial countries. It was a time of great excitement and optimism. In the autumn of 1947 Nkrumah was invited to...

...1. How do I see myself as a second year college student? Having effectively traversed my path through the first year of college, I now see myself as someone who is more confident and brave to face the challenges that come with being a sophomore. The “culture shock” that one may feel during the first few days of being a college student is gone as I already have an idea on what to expect from my faculty, course and professors. Basically how college, in general, really works. Also, I was able to build relationships with my classmates who helped me navigate the world of college more easily. Furthermore, I can safely say that now that I’m in my second year, I am more able to set short as well as long time goals that I would really like to achieve in the future. These goals, I believe, will aid me as I grow academically and as a human being. Of course, that unexplainable fear is still present what with the things that I’ve been hearing from my friends of the higher batch like how the subjects are tougher, the professors meaner and the worst of all, that the probability of you passing the semester is low. Nevertheless, as I take all in these impressions, I try to still look at the positive side and take them as a something that will motivate me to strive harder and prove those people that their notions are false. 2. How do I see myself 5 years from now? I don’t usually think very hard about where or who I will be in the future but when I do, I try to be as optimistic...

...Re-thinking the relevance of philosophy of education for educational policy making Morwenna Griffiths MORAY HOUSE SCHOOL OF EDUCATION, UNIVERSITY OF EDINBURGH Abstract The overall question, ‘What kind of ‘philosophy of education’ is relevant to educational policy makers?’ is addressed by focussing on the following four themes: What meanings are attached to the term philosophy (of education) by philosophers themselves? What meanings are attached to the term philosophy (of education) by policy makers? What difference does place and time make to these meanings? How do these different meanings affect the possibility of philosophy (of education) influencing policy? The question is addressed using both philosophical methods and also some empirical evidence from conversations and conversational interviews with some philosophers of education and other educational researchers. The argument begins with an investigation of different ways of understanding philosophy and philosophy of education in relation to education and educational policy. It then examines first the current policy context and secondly some evidence about the practices of policy makers in relation to ideas and to research. It goes on to present some of the findings from the conversational evidence. The paper is drawn together in the penultimate section where I make some suggestions about possible fruitful relationships between philosophy and policy making. Finally, in the concluding section, I point out some further...

...In an effort to continue save money while continuing its growth, Global Communications must make a decision and create a plan that will allow them to expand their products and services internationally. Of late, Global Communications has witnessed a sharp decline of its stock prices and are facing problems with their employees concerning the outsourcing of jobs. The goal of this paper is to identify Global Communications problems and provide them with solid solutions as courses of action. These actions will be achieved by applying the Nine-Step Decision-Making Model and various other concepts discussed throughout this course. The Nine-Step Decision-Making Model consists of the following items: 1. Describe the Situation-This can take time, but is well worth the effort. Individuals involved in this part of the process must understand the context of the problem. 2. Frame the "Right" Problem-This stage is also challenging. Individuals are often encounter difficulties in trying to determine the true problem needing to be addressed. Working to frame the “right” problem is also challenging because it forces team members to be clear and concise about the situation that needs to be addressed. 3. Describe the "End-State" Goals-The focus of problem solving is the solution, not the problem statement, which may be thought of as the means to the end. The “end state” is the ultimate goal of...

Managuelod Ray Joshua B. Valdez INTRODUCTION In Politics there are many schools of thought that form the basis for the policies used in the operation of the government. These schools of thought vary greatly in purpose and belief, with many of these schools actively opposing one another. Ultimately, whatever beliefs these schools of thought may hold, and whatever actions these beliefs may lead them and the state their purpose is to shape the state into what they believe is ideal and beneficial for all. Of the many ideologies which are followed by statesmen, varied they may be, the ultimate goal is to create a society according to their ideals. In this study we will be discussing two thinkers whose schools of thought have had a significant impact on political philosophy today. The first is Niccolo Machiavelli. A philosopher, politician, diplomat and historian whose works have made his name a by-word for pragmatism and ruthlessness not just in politics but in everyday life. His most famous work, the Prince, advocated the separation of personal morals to that of one’s political morals, and the emphasis not on ideology but on what would be the most beneficial...

...Technology on Activities of the University Information technology has been a focus point on many potential students who are seeking higher education. Based on recent dramatic increases in instructional computer use in American colleges and universities, it would appear that the promise of information technology has a considerable amount of logical appeal (Lamont Flowers, 2000). The mission of colleges and universities as creators and consumers of valuable knowledge and information can no doubt be greatly improved if IT is strategically and proactively embraced in support of the institution’s mission (Unknown). Information technology is becoming a major appeal factor in the colleges and universities it is causing them to become creative in the digital world. The availability of high bandwidth access to instrumentation, data, and colleagues is also changing the way scholars do their work (James Duderstadt, 2003). At the national level many universities,particularly publicly supported institutions, were required to develop and implement experiential learning methods across all of their disciplines and in their curricula (Fahmy).Universities can design their core curricula according to an overall educational philosophy. Because decisions about program philosophy and course content are made by the faculty, the contents of and boundaries between courses are flexible; they can be changed to suit evolving circumstances, not least the interests of the best students (Agre, 1999).Brabazon...
