There are times when a nursing problem arises as a result of a number of findings, and these findings are pulled together into a summary in order to see the big picture created out of these findings. This act of pulling together is what Brown & Ochs (2018) calls a systematic research review (SRR) or systematic review, which helps researchers identify “what is known with certainty, what is tentatively known, and what the gaps in knowledge are regarding an issue” (p.175). It serves as a link between the individual studies performed and the decision making done in order to create ...

In Tom Regan's article “The Case for Animal Rights,” he makes the case for the rights of animals on the basis of equal treatment of all living things that possess inherent value. He argues that morality should be centered on the equal treatment of all living entities, rather than the reduction of suffering and the amplification of pleasure. Consequently, Regan's involvement in the animal rights movement is based on three issues: the elimination of all commercial forms of animal testing, animal agriculture and animal hunting. Ultimately, Regan's argument stands as a sound defense for animal rights on the grounds ...

One of the fundamental methods of determining liability in Tort Law is the “but-for” test. According to the test, liability is analyzed by asking the question: but-for the defendant’s negligence, would the plaintiff have been injured or harmed? If the answer is no, then the defendant, and only the defendant, is liable for the plaintiff’s harm. While the “but-for” is a Tort Law fundamental, it sometimes proves inadequate in determining a defendant’s liability. Consequently, Tort Law has developed other means of determining the cause of a plaintiff’s injury in fact. One of the alternatives to ...

Today, nurses are included with doctors, hospitals, and other healthcare providers and agencies when the outcomes of patient treatments are undesirable. When a nurse is accused of failure to competently perform her or her responsibilities to the patient and employer, the result may be as serious as the death of the patient. For this reason, focus has centered on the types, incidences, and ways to prevent actions that cause patients harm and may result in expensive and license-threatening litigation ...

Women have experienced harm since the beginning of humankind. The French feminist movement began in the late 1790s and one of its key arguments has always been that language has been used to prejudice women as long as orality has been used. The language of the late 20th and early 21st century has become the language of the press, and more relevantly the language of online sources. These online sources are able to reach to the far edges of the world and few cultures are safe from these opinions, words and languages the promote prejudice against women. This paper ...

Technological advances have increased access to the Internet as a global computer network used as a communication facility.

What factors contributed to the problem? Volcanic activity is a major contributing factor to the issue of climate change. The eruption of volcanoes leads to the release of large quantities of water vapor, ash, dust, carbon dioxide, and sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere. In the atmosphere, these sulfur dioxide molecules will react with water vapor leading to the formation of sulfuric acid, which is then spread all over the world through winds. The sulfuric acid formed in the atmosphere can significantly affect the amount of solar radiation entering the Earth’s surface and thereby the ...

Introduction

Human society has been based on mere moral factors that are the basis of governing the behavioral aspect of any particular society. However, it is quite intriguing to look into the doctrine of doing and allowing and this basically narrows down to the moral threshold that has been set forth in any particular society. Therefore, this brings to light the concept of whether, there is a fatual difference between actually being the perpetrator and carrying out the particular act or being a mere observer and letting the particular harm escalate among the people. Moreover, based on the doctrine of ...

In the face of modern science, researchers are facing a problem of the level to which the humanity of their approaches must extend. When it comes to solving ethical dilemmas, the vast majority of them tends to be concentrated on value placed on lives of humans as opposed to the value placed on lives of animals. There is a distinct separation between those who believe that animal drug testing should be banned, those who believe that it is often the main way of estimating the safety of drugs used, and those who choose to fall in-between and prefer finding ...

While the Constitution states that American citizens have the right to speak freely, it does not mean that one should abuse this freedom to hurt and abuse others on social networks such as Facebook. This is also known as cyber bullying where people utilize the First Amendment to defend their actions even if they are blatantly threatening another person’s life by posting horrible comments on their Facebook posts. The question then becomes if those taking part in cyber bullying should be prosecuted by the law or at least punished by those in charge of the socializing network because ...

Many coal firms have been closing down as the global demand for the ‘black diamond’ has fallen considerably. The supply is higher than the demand, leading to continuous fall in price. The price of the output is inadequate to cover the cost of production. This means that the firms are not able to meet the marginal costs. The fall in demand for coal is attributed to the changing environmental regulations on pollution (Springfield, 1). The conservative economic views require the government to empower the people so that they can solve their problem. Therefore, it is possible to take care ...

Mental wellbeing has in the recent past attracted a lot of attention from stakeholders in the health industry after they noted that holistic caring of a patient must involve ensuring mental wellness. In the past, this section of healthcare was overlooked, as mental diseases were not considered ‘illnesses’ but were rather thought to be associated with witchcraft. As a result, any person exhibiting signs of mental illness was shunned and secluded from the community and family members, until he/she passed on. Mental healthcare has as a result lagged behind in terms of providing quality care services to affected patients. ...

To be precise, these were crimes committed by people of the working class. Today, these kinds of crimes are the kind of crimes attributable to rage or emotion (even though there are exceptions) and which entail the use of violence. In most cases, blue-collar crimes are not as calculated as white-collar crimes. Examples ...

Domestic disputes

Domestic violence is a gender related crime that has been occurring for a significant period of time, but is one that has a short record. Much of the criminal jurisprudence in the United States defines this behavior as abuse against the wives or against intimate partners. American criminal codices that list down the action as a specific crime rather than lump it together within the general crime of assault define it as “family” or “domestic” violence (Erez, 2002). Texas law has identified three distinct acts of domestic violence: “domestic assault,” “aggravated domestic assault,” and “continuous violence against the ...
