Self-Regulation or State Regulation?

Abstract – This paper is about the analysis of the effectiveness of self-regulation and state regulation of the engineering profession in Canada and in the United States.

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. ...

A. Describe the issue

A juvenile is a minor or an individual who has not attained eighteen years of age. Juvenile justice is an area of criminal law that deals with people who have not reached eighteen years ("Juvenile Justice"). In essence, the laws and jurisdiction apply to minors and are evidently different from those used on people above eighteen years. In the recent past, there have been passionate debates and claims about trials on minors especially those involved in serious crimes such as first-degree murder. Many youths are tried as adults yet in the eyes of the law they are ...

Fears and Expectations in The King’s Speech

Speech impediments are often the highlight of ridicule which leaves traumatic and ongoing scars in the individual. The King’s Speech highlights these scars by portraying in detail King George VI’s battle with his speech impediment. His stammering has caused him to lose confidence in himself, most especially with all the expectations that people latch onto him as part of the royal family. These viewpoints are often attributed as a lack of skill in the individual rather than being seen and tackled in a more serious regard. King George VI, or Bertie to his close relations, stammers more ...

When examining someone’s corpse, it can be difficult to determine the cause of death and whether or not it was natural. This can prove especially challenging considering all of the underfunded coroners’ offices and morgues in the country (Frontline, 2011). In fact, these offices are so underfunded that there is often not enough room for them to store their corpses in refrigerator units thus limiting the amount of time the coroners have to perform an autopsy (Frontline, 2011). Therefore it is not surprising that in some cases the cause of death is determined by an official who was ...

Introduction

Effective management is crucial for the success of business organizations. Strategic management entails various stages such as goal setting, analysis, and the formulation of strategies (Rue et al. 314). Successful execution of each step requires effective coordination of all resources of the business organization.

The period between 1980s and 1990s remains one of the significant periods in the political arena of China. During this period, the Tiananmen Square protests were witnessed Chinese Communist Party General Secretary Hu Yaobang passed away.

Introduction

Euthanasia refers to the termination of a patient’s life for the sake of mercy. Euthanasia raises several ethical concerns about the value of life as well as the measures that healthcare facilities and governments need to undertake to protect and uphold it (Weir, 1998). Countries fear to legalize euthanasia because of the ethical concerns about the sanctity of life. Furthermore, the general notion by many countries is that legalizing voluntary euthanasia would automatically lead to the legalization of involuntary euthanasia (Saaty and Vargas, 2012). There are many divergent outlooks concerning upholding life, and many individuals are of the ...

Introduction

Conflict is a discord between two or more parties. The causes of the conflict differ depending on the situation or environment.

Reconciliation is the methods of facilitating peaceful ending of conflict and retribution. The conflict resolution process is facilitated by a mediator (Barsky & Allan., 2014). In the world that we are living in ...

Ethical problem

Stacy (2012) reviewed a case study of an irreversible case of pneumococcal pneumonia who had become mechanical ventilator support dependent. The male patient had decided to be removed from the ventilator and allowed to die with full knowledge of his irreversible condition and the eventual death that will come upon him after all life-maintaining support were removed. Although the family did not agree on the removal of the life-support treatment, they acceded to the wish of their father and approved the gradual removal of the ventilator referred to as terminal weaning. This case, unlike most controversial cases that leads ...

Introduction

The news report is of a tragic incident in which an innocent civilian dies on account of police incompetence and corruption. The incident, touted to be racial, might not be what it seems to be. Although it is difficult for the reporter or the broadcaster to look beyond the case of race, police incompetence in recent years suggests that they blunder into making disastrous decisions with tragic consequences irrespective of the victim’s race. The story of police officers using tasers on a Caucasian senior citizen for using a walking cane is equally outrageous. The victim was blind and ...

Leadership is a term that is open to several definitions; accordingly, several theories that are geared towards explaining its various aspects have evolved. Such theories range from the great man theory that proposes that leaders are born to the behavioral theory that suggests that leadership is a skill that is learned (Leadership-Central.com). Nevertheless, leaders are defined by the attributes they possess; whether acquired or inborn. Conventionally, leadership is the ability to direct affairs and people within an organization as well as making decisions on behalf of the followers. Similarly, leadership encompasses talking and persuading members into accepting or rejecting ...

The history of Police in the United States dates all the way back to 1631 when the first Night Watch patrolled the streets of Boston. There are numerous studies and technological advances that contributed to the evolution from the Night Watch to Metropolitan Police Departments in the country. During the transition that stretched across centuries the standards and requirements for a police officer evolved with each new generation. However, along with the positive aspects of law enforcement, a host of deleterious behaviors latched on to newer generations of police officers.

Introduction Women have been proving their credibility, intellectuality and competency in almost every field. They have already proven that they are the best in technical, academic, intellectual field, and no field is inaccessible to them due to their feminine gender. But unfortunately, in media, they are still shown inferior, may it be daily soaps, movies or advertisements, they are always shown as either as a sex object or a dependent lady, a stereotype housewife. Their intellectual capacity is not always demonstrated by media. “The Taming of the Shrew” was ...

Healthcare professionals are often faced with ethical dilemmas as well as questions and if they are inadequately solved, they could jeopardize the quality of health care, professional action or user autonomy (Purtilo & Doherty, 2015). As such, bioethical concerns should be effectively addressed to foster quality healthcare, professional action as well as user autonomy. The refusal of blood transfusions among individuals who practice the Jehovah witness faith is one of the major ethical dilemmas witnessed in healthcare. Inherently, members of the Jehovah witness do not accept blood transfusions based on their religious doctrines (Pozgar, 2014). Essentially, the beliefs of the ...

A Modest Proposal was written in the 18th century by Jonathan Swift and the proposal he makes in this essay is not real, but satirical. Swift was mocking the way the British dealt with Irish people. His proposal about using babies for food is very original and it deals with the nature of people who are cruel and who cannot find a good way to take care of the well-being of the citizens. This essay contains a lot of irony and this pamphlet is political because it criticizes British rule. The British government proved to be uncivilized and there ...

“Exodus: How Migration is Changing Our World” is devoted to questions of mass migration and the book reflects sound public policy of the escalating migration problems. The author examines this topic from three perspectives: the migrants, migrant-receiving societies and countries which they left. Migration makes migrants better off because they have returned home in the other cases. Those who come from poor to rich countries begin to earn at people in rich countries quickly enough. Their productivity soars because they run away from countries with incompetent public models. Nigerian workers less productive in Nigeria than in New Zealand, because ...

Introduction

Concept of Due Process and Its Protection in Pre-Trial and Trial Stages of Criminal Procedure Hence, due process may be conceptualized as a legal procedure which courts and other authorities are obliged to comply with to ensure a “fundamental fairness” to a defendant (Del Carmen, 2014; JUSTIA US Law, n.d.). Moreover, due process embodies “substantive” and “procedural” due process. The latter type pertains to both civil and criminal proceedings which virtually differ dramatically, given the rights granted to defendants in both proceedings and their actual application (Del Carmen, 2014). Extending the subject matter regarding the difference between the application ...

Introduction

Handling an angry or uncooperative patient can be a challenge to any healthcare professional trying to perform a medical procedure on the patient’s behalf. When a patient is faced with a sudden illness, he or she may experience overwhelming fear about the outcome of any testing or procedures that have to be performed. For many patients with no medical knowledge, testing brings with it more fear about what is going to happen during the tests. The role of the radiology professional is to maintain compassion while educating the patient about the procedure that is to be performed. In ...

Judicial review of competency or reasonability in regard to defendant mens rea (mental state) at issue in case involves four general rule elements where 1) waiver of rights is determined accord to the 2) capacity of a party to plea and 2) stand trial, the criteria to 4) defense. Defendants “pleading not guilty by reason of insanity” forsake criminal responsibility in exchange for state mental health incarceration (Meyer & Weaver, 2006).

In the cases State v. Bates and State v. Stiller no assignment of incompetency should occur. If temporary insanity is determined to be in question, hospital ...

Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davies led Americans in the Civil War. The titanic struggle remained the most divisive war in American history. The American Civil war started on 2nd, April 1861 and lasted for four years. The secession of South Carolina from the Union prompted Confederacy to command the US government to relinquish its fort in Charleston Harbor. Lincoln strongly condemned the attempt, and this provoked a Confederate attack. The Confederacy surrounded the fort and fought the Union forces with dangerous weapons. After two days, the Union forces were forced to surrender Charleston Harbor after the bombardment. After the outbreak, ...

Philosophy aims at creating a better understanding of life, nature, matter, God, and whole universe to us. The paper discusses the three aspects of philosophy such as metaphysics, epistemology, and political philosophy in terms of the theoretical framework laid down by prominent philosophers. The paper includes my own ideas regarding these aspects and also critically evaluates my ideals and the ideals of the philosophers so as to understand the distinction between both forms of ideas.

I believe that a licensing system will ensure responsible parenting; legal regulations are a must considering the increase in number of cases of violence, neglect and abuse of children. The clause of having a license will help distinguish competent parents from incompetent parents and the most important benefit of having a license is to give the children a life of security, health and happiness. Issues of neglect and child abuse are prevalent throughout the United States. These factors emerge from a continuous culture of parenting that is emotionally and financial unstable. Incompetent parenting involves individuals who are not educated, irresponsible about caring for their children ...

Question1

For this particular scenario, I would use several layers of security because this compound is comprised of various components or buildings each having different significance or importance. Using different security for each layer would ensure that even if intruders are able to breach through one layer, they will be incapable of breaching the other layers using the same techniques that they might have used for the previous one (Bernard, 2007). I would, therefore, invite the best security experts to ensure the particular component of security that has been used one layer is not used on the other. The corporate ...

The number of cases involving mental incompetence has been increasing within the U.S. during recent years. According to a 2008 article from USA Today, “Legal analysts attribute the increase to a lack of mental health care, judges’ increased openness to such claims and legal strategies by defendants to avoid harsh punishment” (Johnson & Seaman, 2008).

It would make sense that more criminals would want to use the defense of mental incompetence, simply because of the fact that if they are found to be incompetent to stand trial, they are then sent to a mental health facility to be treated – if ...

1). Professionalism is a term, which is often used to identify a person at work. As a rule, by this term people describe such person, who is respected at a work place and achieved a lot in the professional field.

They constantly master their skills, participate in a variety of events, which help to develop their knowledge.

Involuntary Medication for Defendants and Prisoners

Involuntary Medication for Defendants and Prisoners Involuntary medication occurs when an individual is subjected to a medical procedure or treatment against their will and without their consent (Roesch & Zapf, 2013). The majority of cases involving involuntary medication arise from psychiatric treatment that is normally administered to patients who do not have the capacity to consent to the treatment. The holding in Washington v. Harper, 494 U.S. 210 (1990) was that mentally ill are normally considered to be a threat to themselves and to other individuals who they may come in contact with thus necessitating the need for the treatment (Roesch & ...

Compulsory voting is that system of voting in elections where voters are forced to attend to a polling place or obliged to vote in elections. In the event that an eligible voter does not vote on the elections day or does not attend the police place, he/she may be subjected to punitive measures like community services or fines or even imprisonment. The main logic behind compulsory voting is to ensure that there is large voter turnout during elections. This will be an indication that the winning candidates during the population should clearly represent a majority of the population and not only a ...

Introduction

There are conditions in which medical treatment is provided either forcefully or without informed consent. There are plenty of such incidents arising with patients suffering from personality disorders, dementia and even with cancer treatment for non-consenting minors. There are some fundamental questions that arise regarding the existing law. A minor, who has little understanding and intelligence about the cancer treatment, cannot comprehend fully as to what is involved in their treatment. Anyone aged 16-17 is supposed to be deciding the consent for their treatment. There was a case of a child patient who was severely mentally and physically disabled child, ...

In the study conducted by authors Alex B. Van Zant and Laura J. Kray, they explored on the concept of truthfulness and honesty. In the study, the researchers stated their objective as attempting to limit the incidence by which people lie. They hypothesized that lying and deception can be averted if face-to-face interaction can instigate moral concern as with the other forms of communication. Simplifying this, the authors believed that when interaction is direct and visual, the possibility of deception will be averted. The authors’ further claims that with face-to-face interaction the players in the communication process will feel ...

Women have been seen and treated from a different perspective since the early ages. In every walk of life, men and women have been given different regard and significance whether at home, in schools, churches or even in the corporate world. Having been treated does not particularly mean in a negative connotation, but with respect to the workplace, what exactly has been the impact of the different treatment? Even in the American history, the gender role has been particularly critical for the success and downfall of the nation. There are many important questions that need to be answered while entering the ...

Decision-making is a vital process to any patient. Typically, there are competent and incompetent patients who make and take ready-made medical decisions respectively. However, is it necessary to make decisions for the incompetent, and if so, why?

The complexity of the problem of decision making for incompetent patients is best evident, for example in patients who are under age and their parents need to make an informed decision concerning their health..

Theodore Gericault’s The Raft of Medusa is a canonical piece of art created in the early 19th century – in the wake of Romanticism in France. Romanticism was not a style, nor was it a manifestation of a singular idea. Instead, Romanticism was a movement, characterized by artists’ transfer of personality and mind onto their painting, including social criticism in the best way it could be presented in an art work. French Romanticism closely followed the Neoclassical movement, which explains Gericault’s being strongly influenced by Michelangelo’s work (Durbin). Many critics also stated that the painting was influenced by the work of ...

History reveals that dynastic authoritarian governing had many challenges in most countries where it was exercised. Dynastic involves a succession of rulers from the same family lineage; a family maintains power all throughout through hereditary means. A country that had such ruling, for example, was ancient China in which there were various dynasties. China for a long period was faced with wars, bloodshed, and conflicts because of the dynastic ruling, people killed each other in order to succeed a power. The succession alternated from competent rulers to incompetent ones and vice versa, and the government was marred with corruption, discrimination, and dictatorial leadership. ...

- What theory or theories of crime best justifies or justify the imposition of capital punishment There are several legal theories that justify capital punishment in many jurisdictions. In such a punishment, the state puts one to death as a punishment for the crimes they may have committed. Legally, only capital offenses can attract capital punishments. The death sentence has always elucidated various reactions from the public, with some opposing it, and others support it. For instance, as of 2014, only 58 nations in the world actively practiced this punishment. 98 countries have so far abolished the punishment because it ...

Human behaviour is a complex topic because it is determined by various biological, social, and psychological factors. Depending on the factors influencing behaviour, a human being may act in a certain way without knowing why they had acted in such a manner. In Brain on Trial, David Eagleman explains the relationship that exists between neuroscience and criminal acts, and how this information can be used to build a better society with a justice system that is not ignorant of the facts of advances in brain science (121-123). This information can better equip those in the justice system to understand better why crimes occur and may ...

Abstract

The profession of medicine has for a long time been known to work under the principle of self regulation based on physicians’ commitment to protect public trust and welfare. There has however been frequent criticism that the profession has not been adequately capable of identifying and disciplining employees who are incompetent and unethical. This can result in detrimental consequences on patients as well as the healthcare organization CEJA Report, 1992). There is need for all members of a healthcare organization to cooperate in promoting ethics (Nelson, 2010). This paper analyzes the provisions of the ACHE code of ethics that can be ...

Plea Bargaining in American Society

Introduction Plea bargaining plays a very significant role in the American criminal justice system. It is estimated that approximately 90% of all criminal cases are settled by plea bargain rather than trial by a jury as guaranteed by the Sixth Amendment to the United State Constitution. Throughout this paper, I will discuss what a plea bargain is, benefits of plea bargains, disadvantages of plea bargains, the role of the victim in the plea bargaining process, and recent developments in plea bargaining.

What is Plea Bargaining?

In the American court system, a plea bargain is an agreement between the prosecutor and the defendant in a criminal case in ...

The U.S has the most expensive healthcare system in the world. However, it is puzzled with issues ranging from inefficiencies, inflated prices, excessive administrative expenses, inappropriate care, fraud, and waste. These issues are caused by a considerable lack of quality. However, of these issues I presume that major ones require immediate attention, while the minor ones require long-term solutions. Arguably, the country’s largest economic sector is healthcare which accounts for approximately $2.1 trillion in annual expenses. Yet, thousands of Americans cannot afford good healthcare services, and needs. Despite spending that entire amount in healthcare, serious issues regarding quality of ...

Suicide and suicide attempts in the western world have long been considered criminal and punishable. Ancient Romans and Greeks prohibited most suicide, or suicide among the healthy, and punished those who committed suicide by denying them proper burial rituals (Rosenfeld 24). In England and the American colonies, laws continued to punish individuals who committed suicide by denying them a proper burial and both English and American laws found anyone assisting in suicide potentially guilty of murder. In the last several decades, questions about euthanasia and, specifically, the legality of physician-assisted suicide have repeatedly found their way into the legal system ...

In this case, elements such as job performance and satisfaction for the employer need to be evaluated. The first problem that may be identified in this goal setting program is the assumption that it was possible to test crews’ performance based on the ...

Market failure occurs when the market does not clear due to lack of an equilibrium point. In most cases, it is when the supply does not meet the demand. It also occurs when there is an alternative situation for the same market to be in and more people to gain from it rather than that situation. The resources can be utilised for greater consumer utility.

What are the major reasons that a free unregulated market in medical care might not be optimal?
