...Essay on ”Race, Class, Violence and Denial: Mass Murder and the Pathologies of Privilege” by Tim Wise Often when racial inequality and discrimination is being discussed, we get to think of terms such as “white privilege” and American history with the Civil Rights Act in 1964. But we think of it, mainly as history. And that, according to Tim Wise, an anti-racism activist and American writer, is the biggest self-deception of the modern American world. Throughout an article posted on his own webpage, concerning school shootings, Tim Wise discusses the general American attitude towards this relatively new phenomenon in American society. With the use of especially pathos Wise argues that the most concerning thing about these events is how society is handling them afterwards. The problem is, according to Wise, that white people tell themselves ‘white lies’, and therefore never think that such actions could be taking place in their communities. He claims that there’s a reason why this happens in the outwardly ordinary societies. It’s because the people, trying to maintain at certain surface of innocence, refuse to see the signs of trouble, even when it’s going on before their very eyes. He wants us to take responsibility and stop excluding some parts of society from the “danger-zone” just because they look bucolic and normal on the outside and almost in the form of a provocative scolding he explains what damages these ‘white lies’ can do - not only to people of color, but to white...

...Jose Rizal at the University of Santo Tomas Gian Linardo Mari T. Estrella Enrolment at the University of Santo Tomas Even if Rizal liked painting much, he was not then intending to make art as his profession. He was not yet certain of what course to pursue. In his Memorias de un estudiante, he says that he was still undecided then about the university career he would follow as the school year 1877-1878 is nearing. Different authors of Rizal give different answers on what and who influenced Rizal in opting what course to take. It is the question of who made the final choice, he himself, his mother, his father, his brother or the Jesuits. Rizal tells us that his mother was worried about him pursuing a university career in Manila because of her ingenuity, or possibly her motherly instinct. His mother Teodora feared that Rizal would come to a bad end just as the fate of ilustrados before like Father Burgos. Buthe does not say in memorias de un estudiante, he did not specify what her mother preferred for him. His brother Paciano discouraged him from taking law, because of the belief that Rizal would not be able to practice that profession due to the political conditions that time. In his memorias de un estudiante, he recalls: “I enrolled in Metaphysics because, aside From the fact that I had doubts about the career I should follow, my father wanted me to study it (Metaphysics).” Very likely, Don Francisco had pictured Rizal having a career in Civil Law. And due to this, Don...

...Hi Disha, Thank you for sharing your post. In response to your question #1: In your current practice, what is the typical diagnostic tool used to identify shoulder disorder or any soft and bony tissue pathology? Typically, in the current rehabilitation setting (skilled nursing facility), the physician usually order for shoulder X-ray for any shoulder disorder because it is the least expensive diagnostic modality. After failed conservative treatment (rehabilitation management, non- steroidal treatment and others) with increase shoulder pain, the patient's medical practitioner will prescribe for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MRI is the gold standard useful indicator in finding the intensiveness of the rotator cuff tear (partial or complete)...

...Introduction This research paper is on Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Three journal articles were utilized in the research process. The first article is titled Subtypes, Dimensions, Levels, and Mental States in Narcissism and Narcissistic Personality Disorder. It was written by Kenneth N. Levy of Pennsylvania State University and published in 2012. The main points discussed in this article are surrounding the various concepts of NPD existing in dimensions and with overt and covert sublevels. The author used research to point out how the DSM-IV fails to capture that grandiose presentations and covert vulnerable presentations actually represent the two sides of a single spectrum. I chose this article as it gave a deeper perspective than the more ridged clinical picture offered in the DSM-IV. The second article is titled Categorical and Dimensional Models of Pathological Narcissism: The Case of Mr. Jameson. It was written by Christopher R. D. Roberts and Steven K. Huprich of Eastern Michigan University and published in 2012. The main points discussed in this article are how the current categorical construct of NPD ignores the complexities of the underlying vulnerabilities of the disorder. It also discusses how assessing grandiosity and vulnerability as dimensional, interactive components provides a greater working utility. The authors accomplish this through offering examples of various supporting research in addition to a detailed case study of a patient who presented as fragile...

...False Claims Act The False Claims Act was established to prevent intentionally inaccurate claims against or to the government for property or money. This applies to all federal programs, although it is applied to health care most frequently due, in part, to the large dollar amounts involved1, but also to the volume of claims regarding health care made to the federal government each year. There are five elements pertaining to the establishment of a false claim under the False Claims Act; 1) a claim for property or money is made; 2) the claim is against or to a department or agency of the United States; 3) the claim was false, fictitious or fraudulent; 4) the organization, or persons representing the organization, must have known at the time that claim was false, fictitious or fraudulent; and 5) the false, fictitious or fraudulent claim was material.2 Qui Tam. When an individual (relator) brings a lawsuit against an organization claiming violation of the False Claims Act, this is considered a “qui tam” action. A relator’s knowledge, used to bring about a qui tam suit, “must not be public knowledge but information that would not otherwise be available without the qui tam suit.”1 The relator, often referred to as a “whistleblower”, receives a portion of any settlement amount dictated by the results of a qui tam suit. This incentive was established by the False Claims Act and encourages individuals to assist the government in identification of fraud.1 HIPAA Privacy Standards ...

...scrub nurse also opened the patient’s electronic record and began to keep a running log of everything going on. She also took the first and last names of all the personnel present in the room to keep in the surgical log. Once the doctor arrived, he looked over the prepped sites to see if everything was set to his standard. Once that was complete they began the time out process. The patient was introduced, type of surgery, lap and rag count, blade count and the date and time. Finally once the incision was made the official start time was written on the board. The scrub nurse and doctor communicated continually about what tool was to be used, the type of stitching he wanted, if the site needed irrigation, or if samples were to be sent to pathology. The circulating nurse walked around the outside of the room and kept a constant watch on what was going on. If the scrub nurse needed a supply that wasn’t present in the sterile field the other nurse would get it and drop it on the field using sterile technique. The anesthesiologist kept a careful watch on the client and suctioned the mouth when necessary. During all procedures the circulating nurse attempted to decrease the amount of times the door had to be opened and even used nonverbal cues to express to others outside the OR room to stay outside of it. Research by the joint commission proved that the top five reasons for OR traffic included: supply procurement, vendor foot traffic, warm solution or blanket procurement, staff breaks...

...According to Heldke & O’Connor (2004:530), oppression means the unfair treatment of people by the ruling group. People are not always oppressed by cruel tyrants with bad intentions. Oppression also creates injustice in other circumstances, as well. In many cases, a well-intentioned liberal society can place system wide constraints on groups and limit their freedom. Oppression can be the result of a few people’s choices or policies that cause embedded unquestioned norms, habits, and symbols These societal rules can become a “restrictive structure of forces and barriers that immobilize and reduce a group or category of people” (Heldke & O’Connor 2004:530). “Class refers to endure and systematic differences in access to and control over production of goods and services, as well as the resources for provisioning and survival” (Acker 2006: 442). “Gender, refers to the socially constructed differences between male and female and the beliefs and identities that support difference and inequality, is also present in all organizations” (Acker 2006:444). “Race, refers to socially defined differences based on physical characteristics, culture, and historical domination and oppression, justified by entrenched beliefs” (Weber 2001 :10).This paper will analyze and discuss the issue of oppressions in relation to class, gender, and race using W.E.B. Du Bois’ thoughts on race, gender, and class. Also, the intersectional theory according to Patricia Hill Collins will be used for analyzing...

...fell to successive waves of corruption and conquest. The primary institutional form of Empire has morphed from the city-state to the nation-state to the global corporation, but the underlying pattern of domination remains. It is axiomatic: for a few to be on top, many must be on the bottom. The powerful control and institutionalize the processes by which it will be decided who enjoys the privilege and who pays the price, a choice that commonly results in arbitrarily excluding from power whole groups of persons based on race and gender. Herein lies a crucial insight. If we look for the source of the social pathologies increasingly evident in our culture, we find they have a common origin in the dominator relations of Empire that have survived largely intact in spite of the democratic reforms of the past two centuries. The sexism, racism, economic injustice, violence, and environmental destruction that have plagued human societies for 5,000 years, and have now brought us to the brink of a potential terminal crisis, all flow from this common source. Freeing ourselves from these pathologies depends on a common solution -- replacing the underlying dominator...

...Annotated Bibliography Cynthia Beckner South University Online PSY2002: April 30, 2013 Topic 1: Early Childhood: 1). Linda Knight (2009). Dreaming of other spaces: What do we think about when we draw? The Psychology of Education Review, Vol. 33, No. 1, March 2009 The article focuses on the enhancement of the learning process during early childhood development by the engagement of adults with children as they draw, and the interpretations of these drawings. By being engaged with young children as they express themselves on paper, allows the visualization of the child’s “thought” process as they are drawing. Along with the many applications of childhood developmental theories, the interpretation of a young child’s doodling is now perceived through Deleuzians and Guattarians dreaming concepts and Foucauldians heterotopic space concepts (Knight, 2009). Foucault’s concept of heterotopic space suggests that the young drawer visits his own imaginary space while doodling. This is a place where the child is free to imagine, free to choose, and free to express. Deleuzian’s and Guattarian’s concept suggests the child be free to be chaotic and unpredictable. Being able to dream allows the child to disconnect from the work and make his own connections. Examining and interacting with a child and his artwork can give us insight to emotional, cognitive, and physical development to the child. To a small child, scribbling can aid in muscle coordination, emotional release and...

...keystone of care: the medium in which data are gathered, diagnoses and plans are made, compliance is accomplished, and healing, patient activation, and support are provided. To managed care organizations, its importance rests also on market savvy: satisfaction with the doctor–patient relationship is a critical factor in people's decisions to join and stay with a specific organization. A patient must have confidence in the competence of their physician and must feel that they can confide in him or her. For most physicians, the establishment of good rapport with a patient is important (Lipkin 2012). Some medical specialties, such as psychiatry and family medicine, emphasize the physician-patient relationship more than others, such as pathology or radiology. The quality of the patient-physician relationship is important to both parties. The better the relationship in terms of mutual respect, knowledge, trust, shared values and perspectives about disease and life, and time available, the better will be the amount and quality of information about the patient's disease transferred in both directions, enhancing accuracy of diagnosis and increasing the patient's knowledge about the disease (Lipkin 2012). Where such a relationship is poor the physician's ability to make a full assessment is compromised and the patient is more likely to distrust the diagnosis and proposed treatment, causing decreased compliance to actually follow the medical advice. In these circumstances and also...

...Jalen Taylor Take Home Exam Fall 2011 Marvin Broome 1) Black culture has an interest and unique background that is very questionable. Curiosity about black culture arose during the Harlem Renaissance in the 20s but the Black community became more concerned during the 1960s. The concerns of the black community were the possession, meaning, reappropriation and reconstruction of their culture. It was during this time that many blacks shifted from the ideal of integration towards the resurgence of Black Nationalism. This movement sparked an interest in the Black culture, as well as the role in life and struggle. From here, a strong commitment to revitalize, reconstruct and actually construct Black culture came about. This newfound inspiration to rediscover the black culture led to the unveiling of a few paradigms that were centered on the theme of bits and pieces of the Black culture being lost or forgotten. The Deficiency Paradigm argues that Blacks have no real culture, that slavery destroyed it, and that what passed as Black culture was simply a pathological reaction to Whites, a duplication of them or an expression of lower-class culture rather than a specific Black culture. The Crusian Paradigm argues that although culture must be seen as central, the three factors of culture, politics and economics must be welded together into a dynamic synthesis and social strategy. Both of these paradigms argue that Whites have tried to destroy black culture by forcing their...
