Critical appraisal concepts and methods
This paper is a critical analysis and appraisal of a study on psychosocial care in mental health nursing. The goal of the paper is to determine whether the work done by the authors offered evidence that was appropriate for the study, when contrasted with other evidence. Additionally, the method and presentation, as well as the relevance and significance of the findings, are discussed.
Isotonic, Hypertonic, Hypotonic and Relate
The paper is about chemical solutions and their applications in clinical medicine. It describes and elaborates on the different types of solutions and their effects on cells especially the human cells. Generally there are three types which include isotonic, hypotonic and hypertonic solutions. To explain further a there is a case study to elaborate on the solutions.
Learning: Cognitive Theory of Learning
This paper focuses on the cognitive theory of learning, and how that theory is used to help children learn. In the cognitive theory, memory and prior knowledge are seen as highly valued, and they are deemed more important than experience. Of course, there are other theories that argue against this, and state that cognitive theory is not the proper way to teach children. The paper contains an outline and annotated bibliography, as well as the actual document.
Manchurian Candidate 1962 John Frankenheimer
John Frankenheimer began his career in the early days of American television in 1954 and directed over 150 television shows before going to the cinema in 1961. The quality of his major films is to take the viewer in the gut with powerful images and often indelible, imposing his own vision of the subject as indisputable evidence. (Kellner, pp285-305) He is not afraid to shock or provoke violent reactions in the audience and whatever the type of work it performs (small or large production). (Mitchell, pp41-54) To do so, his production is always the result of a lot of work in which he set up structures to complex camera movements bold and never free, which combined with his knowledge of the assembly allows him to surprise and 'hook the audience like few filmmakers are able. (Grice, pp144)
Change About the Criminal Justice
For the criminal justice system to be changed, it seems to me that its very basics need to be altered, and I therefore lean towards the philosophy of Restorative justice. Restorative justice in effect states that the offender will grow not be crushed by his crime and will be induced to atone for, rather than commit more crimes. It also believes that a constructive dialogue will be fostered between offender and victim where, after atoning, the offender will be brought into, rather than shunned from the community. Furthermore, it believes that the victim will be most appropriately addressed by this system, rather than ignored as he is at the moment. The offense is seen for what it truly is – a hurt directed at another individual – rather than a hurt directed at an abstract government. By addressing it for what it truly is and atoning for that wrong, restitution sees justice better served than by aimless and destructive vindication. Nonetheless, critics claim the approach to be too sentimental and ‘pie in the sky' Pollyanna type of thinking. Criticisms include opinions that victims like to see revenge and that many offenders are resilient to feelings of compassion and atonement.
The following essay leads us through a summary of the system and its criticisms concluding with suggesting some solutions. To me, it still seems that Restorative justice may be the best method for addressing some of the problems inherent in the Criminal justice system. The method needs to be equilibrated so that it is worked in conjunction with others, its points are made more specific so that they are understood, and the system is tapered to those who would most benefit from it, whilst the public receives ongoing and uninterrupted protection.
