¶ … statistical data is important in any quantitative research, but even of more significance is if the statistics captured therein can be interpreted into meaningful information that can be absorbed and well understood by the targeted individuals. In the case presented, there are various ways that John and Jane could use to correctly interpret the statistics presented by the media and filter out the accurate number of the uninsured Americans. One of the ways to interpret the data they get from the media is presenting the data graphically. This involves use of bar chart and pie chart/diagram in an instance where the data being handled is nominal data as is the case here. Such graphic methods will allow John and Jane to carry out an easy visual assessment of the data presented by the media and see if the representation is real or could be skewed.
The other approach is the use of Z-Score to a percentile rank which is a six sigma technique. It is used to convert the raw data or score into normal score. This will hence make the rating scale be easier since it often follows the normal or the close to normal distribution. Hence, Jane and John just need a reasonable...
The reasonable benchmark can be subtracted from the mean and the difference divided by the standard deviation and that is what is called the Z-Score and when this is converted to a percentile hence giving a clear interpretation of the statistics (Sauro J., 2011). Another commonly used approach is the use of ANOVA which is the analysis of variation which will help in finding out the significance level of the data that is represented by the media houses. The significance level will hence help in showing whether the data presented is reality and also filter out the different media houses and determine which one is closest to the reality.

Such differences may lead us to question whether there are any universal moral principles or whether morality is merely a matter of "cultural taste" (Velasquez, Andre, Shanks and Meyer: 1). If there is no transcendent ethical or moral standard, then cultural relativists argue that culture becomes the ethical norm for determining whether an action is right or wrong. This ethical system is known as cultural relativism. Cultural relativism is the

"Family stress is related to the local variant of the widespread crisis in the Russian economy (Wolfe and Vitebsky, 2002, p. 73) This leads to the question of how social roles are defined. Social roles are linked to the authority structure in the family and are usually hierarchical and patriarchal.
Aging and Russian Culture In order to understand and relate to an older Russian in the context of providing psychological care, it is first important to understand the context of Russian society. Russian society has been marked by a transition in recent years that has reflected the rejection of communist ideology and all accompanying notions of collectivism. In many respects, this reactionary mentality has resulted in a breakdown in traditional values.
