Is "Soft Power" a new apparatus being used by countries to lead the world towards a new form of globalization"?

The term “Soft power” has been first introduced by Joseph Nye in his book “Bound to Lead: The Changing Nature of American Power”. The concept defines an indirect influence method, which uses country’s attractiveness and reputation for persuading and attracting the others. Unlike the more traditional “hard power”, it does not rely on a system of threats and inducements, but co-opts people around. “Soft Power” is often believed to be the driver of the world towards a new globalization phase, however this claim needs profound evaluation.

On the one hand, “soft power” is on of the easiest and the most ...

Powerlessness

One of the issues that create powerlessness is role conflict. Role conflict emanates from the different roles a nurse has to fulfill.

Additionally, the nurse has to fulfill the expectations of the colleagues and peers. Thirdly, a nurse has to fulfill self-expectations from the basic personal understanding of what a nurse is required to do. These entire roles may themselves introduce role conflict, which contribute to the reduction in motivation among the nurses. If ...

On the Mother’s Day of 2001, a murder incident occurred at a place called Antietam Creek. The body was found lying lifeless in the bushes of the creek.
