Alan Watts (n.d.) gives an example of photos of peeling paint on old doors. By providing this example, Alan Watts (n.d.) is trying to say that photographers, who shoot this kind of photos do not follow a purpose to show the viewer the qualities of paint or the door either, what they are trying to show is that this process exists as it is. It is just there in a ...

In the knee, the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and the posterior cruciate ligaments (PCL) criss-cross to form the cruciate ligament. The two ligaments are strong round bands that extend from head of the tibia to the intercondyloid notch of the femur (Margheritini, 2011). The anterior cruciate ligament lies lateral and crosses the medial posterior cruciate ligament like the limbs ...

Question for Review of Organizational Behavior

Question for Review of Organizational Behavior Describe three theories or perspectives on organizational culture (the strong culture perspective, the fit-culture perspective, and the adaptation-culture perspective). Organizational culture embodies a set of shared beliefs, norms, and behaviors that are shared by an organization’s members. According to Nelson and Campbell (2015), these shared values and beliefs have a strong influence on employees and stakeholders of an organization (p.4). Ideally, they guide their day-to-day behaviors and actions (Buchanan and Huczynski, 2013, p. 5). Organizational culture can be an asset for an organization that energizes, perpetuates, and enhances human behavior. Research indicates ...

The world develops so rapidly that new technologies become outdated in days, however, people still haven’t learnt how to respect each other and understand that appearance or interests aren’t criteria for judging or even worse, humiliating ...

Discussion

The technological terminologies selected include clinical decision support, EHRs, nursing informatics, software, and Telehealth. As stated, clinical decision support systems (CDSs) are information system-based platforms that offer healthcare workers with patient-specific information to enhance service delivery. The best example of such a CDS would be the Zynx Health system. This CDS acts as a clinical reminder support system used by health practitioners in the consultation room to provide information on care plans given patient conditions (Campbell, 2016). Second, EHRs are digital representations of a patient’s information maintained by providers for ease of access in clinical practice. In the ...

Works of art can communicate critical information on the times in which they were created. Different time periods and different cultural backgrounds provide the stylistic and media elements of a work of art. There may be no specific intent to portray the times, but that is what happens when the artist creates a work of art in a particular artistic period. Examples of art works from two distinctly different times and cultures will demonstrate how the art in the Medieval period of European history and Pop Art from the late mid-20th century differ. The Medieval period in art history ...

Narcissistic personality is a controversial topic to discuss due to the debatable matter of pros and cons attached to its nature.

Experts, on the other hand, pressed in the significance of the personality type as an attribute to a great leadership. In fact, presidents of the United States of America were detected to have been diagnosed with narcissism with varying levels, manifestations, and characteristics of the personality type. At the top of the list of the narcissistic presidents was ...

Narcissistic leaders are known for displaying impeccable self-confidence, dominance, sense of power, and, of course, low empathy (O’Reilly et al., 2013). Hostility and arrogance are two essential characters that drive such individuals. As narcissistic leaders are always motivated by their need to control others and get their approval and admiration, their leadership style mostly tends to go destructive. On the other hand, certain other qualities like leading with a vision and consistently following their cherished path make them great leaders. Even as certain characters like ruthlessness and uncompromising nature help them to move forward as a visionary, narcissistic ...

As athletes, physicians, sports professionals, and the general public continue to search for the most effective diet for nutrition and physical development, high protein diets have emerged as a viable alternative for many people. However, there are disagreements about how to define a “high protein diet” (Tipton). Touted for many years, the Atkins Diet initially allows no calories from carbohydrates and moves into a maintenance regimen of only meat and vegetables (Westman, Phinney and Volek). The Paleo Diet has emerged as a similar recommendation of organ meats, fruits, vegetables, and nuts while excluding grains, sugar, dairy, and legumes (Tarantino, ...

Voting is a representation of the democratic rights of the citizens through expressing their right to choose the leaders of their choice. In the United States of America, research shows that close to 40 percent of the total registered voters do take place in the voting exercise of the presidential candidates (Campbell 32). This value is known to increase as the midterm congressional elections are formed. I believe that voting should be made mandatory in the United States of America (Campbell 32). This is a clear strategy, which will ensure that the Americans ignoring their democratic right of voting ...

Free Will and Determinism: A Response to the Problem from the Perspective of Three Philosophical Positions

The concept of free will has been essential in religion and philosophy, but this concept has been opposed to a new one, namely determinism, which is the result of years of scientific progress and the discovery of natural laws. Free will represents the capacity to act independently, or to take decisions based on personal wish, regardless of the pressures one is subject to. On the other hand, determinism is based on the idea that all actions performed by human beings are determined by natural laws and different causal factors, and in fact there is no free will. This idea ...

The literature review will include a board concept of community. Samuel (2015) defined the concept of community as applicable to a human group sharing a geographical area. Following this logic, the notion is possible to apply to patients and ...

Competition is a major factor that creates a necessity for change. Businesses can be forced to change their strategies when new competitors enter the market. Such change is necessary to avoid losing customers to the new competitor. Organizations can also be forced to change because of technological advancements. The development of new technology can render some business processes and practices obsolete, which forces the business to change to keep up with its competitors (Iveroth & Hallencreutz, 2015). Another major factor that leads to the necessity for change is the enactment of changes in government regulations. Governments can mandate businesses to ...
