Healthcare Has Been Moving From a Total
The idea of using a mixed method approach to research in the healthcare field tends to look at the situation, both patient care and professional issues of quality of care and job satisfaction, in a more holistic manner. Studying a problem using both approaches allows factors and variables that come up during the qualitative phase to also be explored in more depth quantitatively. In addition, studying the problem from a qualitative focus allows the research to take on a more human face, and also deal with issues that are not necessarily black/white for every individual, a continuum.

Kazakhstan Exotic Tourism: The Branding of Kazakhstan
This paper discusses how to market Kazakhstan as a potential tourist attraction to the West. Kazakhstan, a former Soviet republic, is a hybrid of Central Asian cultures and offers many unique geographical locations amenable to winter sports like skiing and skating. The paper focuses on 'branding' a particular country in a marketing campaign to tourists, much like one would brand a product.
Governmental Crime and Corruption
While police departments in small towns and major cities throughout the country have been entrusted with the duty of public protection, all too often the corruptive power of pure authority poisons this sacred bond. From the institutionalized graft of Tammany Hall, to the militant misapplication of force used by police departments enforcing “Jim Crow” laws in the South, the police have always been capable of enforcing injustice, and as New York City’s divisive “Stop and Frisk” law attests to, this problem has not abated in the wake of the Civil Rights movement. Simply put, racial minorities are disproportionally targeted for traffic stops, investigation and arrest, and even injury or death at the hands of officers (Feinstein, 2013); a statistical outlier which does not conform to the prevailing research on crime rates across racial or ethnic demographics. To address the issue of rampant corruption and racism within law enforcement, the concept of citizen oversight has emerged as a viable method through which communities can effectively police their own police force. Whenever reports of police misconduct make national headlines, such as that of illegal domestic surveillance of Muslims by the New York Police Department, the need for viable oversight of law enforcement agencies is only reemphasized, and indeed “minority demands for police reform … can lend support for its implementation, especially after a highly publicized case of misconduct between the police and minority citizens” (Wilson & Buckler, 2010).
