Not Like the Movies: Hollywood & Tragedy

No special effect can make us feel the way it felt to see the World Trade Center collapse on live TV.

1. Determine the Motivation for Writing   Identify what comments from the media prompted the author to write this article. Do you agree with Fred Topel that such comments were “silly and insensitive”? Why or why not?

2. Consider Style   Choose one word to describe Fred Topel’s writing style. Note at least three instances where he addresses his readers directly in this article. Explain how he does so, and describe the effect this technique has upon the reader. 

3. Justify a Point of View   The author thinks that Hollywood moviemakers overreacted by digitally altering images to remove the World Trade Center. As a movie executive, write a press release that explains why your company has decided to digitally edit images following the terrorist attacks.

Not Like the Movies: Hollywood and Tragedy

Fred Topel

Before you read, recall what you know about the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on September 11, 2001.

Fred Topel is an entertainment writer, writing online for the Daily Radar and for newspapers such as The Palisadian Post and Entertainment Today. He has a special interest in action/adventure movies, his favourite genre.

I was asked to think of an article to address Tuesday’s [the September 11, 2001] tragedy, and I thought the most silly and insensitive thing I’ve heard in all of this tragedy is newscasters suggesting it is like something out of a movie. The attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon are not like something out of a movie. I’ve seen plenty of movies about terrorists, and even the best, most realistic ones are nothing like what I’ve seen on the news.

The Siege may be one of the most realistic films about terrorism. A scene where a bus loaded with passengers explodes is sudden and shocking, like it must really be. However, the film also shows Denzel Washington storming into a hostage situation to take out the bad guys. Though the film deals with the effects of terrorism on race relations, it ends with a Hollywood convenience, letting the hero find and defeat the villains. Things do not resolve so simply in real life.

Arlington Road dealt with terrorism on a personal level, with Jeff Bridges suspecting his neighbour, Tim Robbins, of terrorist plans. The bombing at the end is realistic, and the terrorists have the upper hand in the finale. Perhaps that is close to what happened, but in the film it was used to resolve the character relationships. It’s unsettling and effective, but everything related back to Jeff Bridges, not the people who were hurt.

Perhaps the most famous movie about terrorists is Die Hard. Those terrorists turn out to be thieves with no political agenda. Die Hard 2 and Die Hard With a Vengeance have real terrorists, but again these are Hollywood action movies. We don’t get attached to the people who get hurt (except one scene with a plane in Die Hard 2, but otherwise we don’t know the bombing victims) and everything wraps up neatly in the end.

The Tom Clancy movies deal with terrorists and realistic government operations, but Patriot Games has the terrorists go on a private revenge mission, Clear and Present Danger sends Harrison Ford into action mode to rescue our boys, and Hunt for Red October has the Russian turn into a good guy.

Toy Soldiers had teenagers fighting the terrorists who took over their school. It had some interesting insights about the negotiation process and was a great movie about youth empowerment, but a fantasy.

The Rock, one of my favourite movies of all time, had terrorists [who are] considerate of children and harm none of their hostages. They only kill the Navy SEALS because of a chaotic, uncontrollable situation. Surely the real terrorists were not as considerate as Ed Harris in The Rock.

There is nothing wrong with these movies. These are great movies. But what happened in New York is not like a movie. Real people were hurt. No special effect can make us feel the way it felt to see the World Trade Center collapse on live TV.

Maybe I’m reading too much into the comments. Perhaps the people at CNN just meant that the explosion looked like a movie effect. Except with a movie, you’d see the shot from three different angles and hear Dolby Digital effects all around you. In real life, you see a ball of fire and people die. As a movie connoisseur, maybe I’m oversensitive, or maybe it’s the stress of experiencing the worst part of history I’ve ever lived through, but it seems some media entities are trying too hard to relate events to Hollywood.

In other news, some movies are being delayed in their release, notably Big Trouble (which involves a spoof of airport terrorism) and Collateral Damage (Arnold going after terrorists who killed his family). The ending of Men in Black 2 will be changed because it originally took place at the World Trade Center.

Other films that take place in New York are actually going to be digitally altered to remove the World Trade Center. I personally think that is overreacting. We’d all understand that those movies were shot in New York before the tragedy, and going to the trouble of digitally altering the skyline seems like they’re trying too hard to seem sensitive. But maybe they’re just as unsure of how to handle things as I am.

My best wishes to anyone who has lost someone in the attacks or flights.

Managing the multi-business corporation to meet high-performance expectations is problematic. Publicly traded companies are pressured to return favorable quarterly results and as corporations grow larger and more complex, it becomes harder to manage such corporations effectively. General Electric (GE) was once one of the most admired corporations in the world. Today, GE is facing a much-reduced outlook. For this week’s assignment, read the case study (Attached) (Case 20): Restructuring General Electric.

Remember, a case study is a puzzle to be solved, so before reading and answering the specific case and study questions, develop your proposed solution by following these five steps:

  1. Read the case study to identify the key issues and underlying issues. These issues are the principles and concepts of the course area which apply to the situation described in the case study.
  2. Record the facts from the case study which are relevant to the principles and concepts of the course area issues. The case may have extraneous information not relevant to the current course area. Your ability to differentiate between relevant and irrelevant information is an important aspect of case analysis, as it will inform the focus of your answers.
  3. Describe in some detail the actions that would address or correct the situation.
  4. Consider how you would support your solution with examples from experience or current real-life examples or cases from textbooks.
  5. Complete this initial analysis and then read the discussion questions. Typically, you will already have the answers to the questions but with a broader consideration. At this point, you can add the details and/or analytical tools required to solve the case.

Case Study Questions:

  1. Why was GE considered to be such an exemplary organization? (Discuss GE’s management systems and performance.)
  2. Discuss the nature of GE’s corporate portfolio under Welch and Imelt. Did the nature of GE’s portfolio under Welch and Imelt provide superior results?
  3. If GE’s portfolio mix gave superior results, why was it necessary to restructure the portfolio?
  4. Why is GE’s performance no longer superior? What are the reasons for the collapse in GE’s financial performance during 2016-2018?
  5. What should be done to return GE to higher levels of performance? Does GE need to refocus? Which businesses or products would you recommend abandoning or divesting, if any? Does GE need to make additional acquisitions to supplement existing GE assets?

Advanced Primary Care of Family Practicum I-DL-MSN41

Leonor Perez Aquino, DNP, AGACNP-C, AGPCNP-C, AOCNP, BMTCN

Whatis behind the outstanding meaning that makes Nurse Practitioners role a greatcareer

NP role is a rewarding career because it is all about life-saving and solving numerous and complex life problems. With numerous qualifications, nurse practitioners play a vital role in the healthcare system. They have more jurisdiction over their professional practice and patient health outcome. Additionally, nurse practitioners do not stop learning, and with their continuing education, they have the skills to engage in problem-solving (Thomas et al., 2017). The numerous training gives them an added advantage in solving intelligent human-focused problems and learning excellent new-state-of-the-art healthcare advancement more than the information accessible to the other healthcare professionals.

Theroles and responsibilities of the family nurse practitioner as a future nursepractitioner

Family nurse practitioners are a fundamental part of the healthcare setting as they give wellness guidance and necessitous care services to patients who need them. As a future nurse practitioner, family nurse practitioners have several roles and responsibilities within the primary healthcare setting. Their roles and responsibilities include providing primary healthcare services for all patients, from infants to adults. In addition, they perform well checks, administer medications, conduct screening for symptoms of disease, and order medical tests on the ground of improving patients’ general health (Greenwood, 2017).

Theeligibility for the family nurse practitioner certification

To have a family nurse practitioner certification, he/she should have finished an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) program focusing on family medicine. Besides, the person has to have a degree in registered nursing and is a certified registered nurse in a state or territory (ANA, 2021). Finally, having passed NCLEX-RN exams is also a requirement since it is the one determining whether one can proceed with education or not.

Each student will choose a prominent theorist, activist, or reformer within criminology to research

/in /by

  

Each student will choose a prominent theorist, activist, or reformer within criminology to research (historical or contemporary and from any society) and write a short paper (i.e., a minimum of 4 double-spaced pages) exploring and outlining the importance of their work.

Approach this assignment like a profile. Some definitions of a profile are quite narrow (e.g., a story of one person that explores their background and character). However, I invite you to consider the process of researching and writing a profile more dynamically. Yes, a profile should examine the subject’s personal and professional life, as well as give the reader a greater understanding of the subject through the lens of their personal interests, career, education, background, advocacy, and contributions to criminology. However, it is important to consider going beyond the obvious two-dimensional portrait of a person. For example, you could research a specific person (e.g., theories, activist, reformer) or profile of a reform movement; however, if you write a profile on an entire movement, you will probably find it still comes back to the people involved with the place/idea/campaign/movement, but you are still researching and writing about the movement/campaign/idea/event.

Profiles : 

• Require some personal interpretation or perspective, often because of a stake in the topic. 

• Typically provoke more thinking about ideas even beyond the “individual” at the centre of the profile. 

• Develop the breadth, depth, dimensionality, and contradictions inherent in the topic. 

• Might emphasize the exotic, peculiar or bizarre, but they always get beyond the surface — sometimes with emphasis on social, political, or moral implications implicit in the topic.

Appraisal theories of emotion consider that it is how a person understands a situation, rather than the situation itself, that affect their emotions (Siemer et al., 2007). This theory allows for individuals to have unique reactions to the same situation since they may interpret that situation differently, based on a variety of potential variables (Siemer et al., 2007). These variables can include “the importance of the event, its expectedness, the responsible agent, and the degree to which it is possible to control the event” (Siemer et al., 2007, p. 592). Appraisal theory has two versions that can be considered: the first suggesting that differences in appraisal of a situation is enough to arouse different emotions and the second suggests that these differences in appraisal are necessary to evoke different emotional reactions (Siemer et al., 2007).

Overall, I feel that the theory is logical, and I concur with the interdependency of cognition and emotion. Theories regarding the decision-making process have shown that although it would be nice to consider that humans make rational decisions by considering all possible outcomes and choosing the best one, this is simply not the case (de Campo et al., 2016). In fact, we know that humans use mental shortcuts, like heuristics, to drive many of our decisions and these heuristics are plentiful with variables similar to those that affect our appraisal of a situation (del Campo et al., 2016). Therefore, it is a sound perspective to consider that cognitive processes interdepend with affect.

The SPAARS approach refers to the Schematic, Propositional, Analogical and Associative Representation System (Power & Dalgleish, 2008). This model is multi-level and considers emotions from four different levels (schematic, associative, propositional, and analogical) (Power & Dalgleish, 2008). This model serves to understand the connection between stimuli and emotions and acknowledges the different levels through which emotional output happens in response to stimuli (Power & Dalgleish, 2008). Power & Dalgleish (2008) outline the mechanisms of emotion generation as “an event, an interpretation, an appraisal, physiological change, an action potential, and a conscious awareness” (p.153). The SPAARS model acknowledges the need for appraisal of a situation in order to generate an emotion, however, notes that this appraisal does not have to occur at the time of the event itself (Power & Dalgleish, 2008). This suggests that the process of generating emotion to an event can happen through association created by past experiences of similar or same events or, in a small number of instances, created through evolutionary history (Power & Dalgleish, 2008). SPAARS relates strongly with the appraisal theory of emotion, acknowledging the generation of emotion through different levels and types of appraisals and interpretation (Power & Dalgleish, 2008).

PICOT Question and Literature Search

/in /by

 

The first step of the evidence-based practice process is to evaluate a nursing practice environment to identify a nursing problem in the clinical area. When a nursing problem is discovered, the nurse researcher develops a clinical guiding question to address that nursing practice problem.

For this assignment, you will create a clinical guiding question know as a PICOT question. The PICOT question must be relevant to a nursing practice problem. To support your PICOT question, identify six supporting peer-reviewed research articles, as indicated below. The PICOT question and six peer-reviewed research articles you choose will be utilized for subsequent assignments.

Use the “Literature Evaluation Table” to complete this assignment.

  1. Select a nursing practice problem of interest to use as the focus of your research. Start with the patient population and identify a clinical problem or issue that arises from the patient population. In 200–250 words, provide a summary of the clinical issue.
  2. Following the PICOT format, write a PICOT question in your selected nursing practice problem area of interest. The PICOT question should be applicable to your proposed capstone project (the project students must complete during their final course in the RN-BSN program of study).
  3. The PICOT question will provide a framework for your capstone project.
  4. Conduct a literature search to locate six research articles focused on your selected nursing practice problem of interest. This literature search should include three quantitative and three qualitative peer-reviewed research articles to support your nursing practice problem.

Note: To assist in your search, remove the words qualitative and quantitative and include words that narrow or broaden your main topic. For example: Search for diabetes and pediatric and dialysis. To determine what research design was used in the articles the search produced, review the abstract and the methods section of the article. The author will provide a description of data collection using qualitative or quantitative methods. Systematic Reviews, Literature Reviews, and Metanalysis articles are good resources and provide a strong level of evidence but are not considered primary research articles.  Therefore, they should not be included in this assignment.

While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources should be presented using APA formatting guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. 

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

Furness and Gilligan (2010) stated, “There is a growing body of literature written predominantly for health professionals and more recently for social workers about the importance of developing and incorporating cultural and spiritual sensitivity and awareness in their work with others” (p. 2187). Spirituality, which may or may not include involvement with an established religion, contributes to human diversity and influences human behavior. An individual’s spirituality may be an important factor in his or her social environment. As a social worker, your awareness of a client’s spirituality may help increase your understanding of the client and his or her needs.

Sensitivity to and respect for your client’s spiritual dimension reflects your appreciation of diversity. As you consider the potential impact of your clients’ spirituality on their perspectives and behavior, you must also consider how your spirituality might influence your interactions with a client.

For this Discussion, you consider the impact of spirituality on your interactions with clients.

By Day 3

Post a Discussion in which you explain how considerations about clients’ worldviews, including their spirituality or religious convictions, might affect your interactions with them. Provide at least two specific examples. In addition, explain one way your own spirituality or religious convictions might support your work with a client, and one barrier it might present. Finally, share one strategy for applying an awareness of spirituality to social work practice in general.
