Living in the After : Examining How Grey\u27s Anatomy Portrays Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
Get PDFOver seventeen seasons, Grey\u27s Anatomy (2005) has tackled rare physical conditions, medical miracles, and mental illness, including PTSD. Previous research on mental illness representation in television suggests that oftentimes, through pejorative or romanticized stereotypes, portrayals enhance stigma and have detrimental effects on viewers. Using inductive research, focused on PTSD-centric episodes regarding two main characters, this study revealed that Grey\u27s Anatomy emphasizes a mostly empowering portrayal of PTSD. These findings suggest that future representations of mental illness like those in Grey\u27s can eradicate stereotypes and stigmas as the norm and replace them with representations that encourage acceptance, openness, and communication
The Algorithm Did It : Legal Responsibility and the Regulation of Artificial Intelligence
No full textArtificial Intelligence has brought us to a crossroads in our evolution, with no clear decision to date how to move forward with AI control. The existing legal system, however, provides an existing means of regulation through its distinction between natural legal persons and artificial legal persons such as corporations. Positive law, without recourse to metaphysics or ontology, allows much needed regulation, while maintaining the integrity of non-legal beliefs. This approach is compatible with current developments in Artificial Intelligence, human neuroscience and the existing legal system. It also does not damage the rights and obligations of natural legal persons, or their ability to maintain moral principles, by its placement of individual moral decisions in a separate societal role from that of positive law

Preferred Learning Styles of Retail Health Providers: A Pilot Quality Improvement Project
No full textRetail health clinics continue to expand in the United States and offer a vast array of services including treatment for both acute and chronic health care needs. The providers who staff the retail clinics must be efficient with evidenced-based practice guidelines to provide the best care for the numerous patients seeking this type of health care. The Knowles Adult Learning Theory explains that for learning to be most effective in adults, a preferred learning style should be acknowledged and then exercised with learning. Despite many resources and time spent providing educational resources to the providers practicing in retail health clinics, there is a gap in knowledge regarding the preferred learning modalities to improve learning effectiveness. The purpose of this quality improvement study is to test the theory of Knowles Adult Learning Theory to identify the providers in retail health setting\u27s preferred learning style for effective competency learning of evidence-based guidelines. Quantitative data was collected through a researcher-developed survey within one organization specializing in family health and provides healthcare services to adults and children from 18 months and older. The organization chosen for this quality improvement project is most respected for offering convenient, affordable, and quality care. Implications into practice for this study include retail health organization educators improving the quality of learning provided to the retail health providers through identifying preferred learning styles to promote effective competency learning of evidence-based practice guidelines.

That is a Huge Wardrobe and Clothing Mistake! : The Unethical Consumption Habits of YouTube\u27s Fashion Influencers and the Environmental Consequences of a Disposable Lifestyle
Get PDFPeople flock to YouTube for the latest videos from their favorite influencers, not realizing that the consumption habits of those influencers could lead to environmental disaster. This thesis builds upon the conversation about the need for sustainable messages on social media that target young, impressionable audiences. A detailed study of 15 videos from five fashion YouTubers reveals that: (1) fast fashion brands dominate across the platform; (2) fashion YouTubers fail to take responsibility for their unethical consumption habits; and (3) none of them successfully avoid unsustainable fashion choices, despite some efforts to do so. Meaningful solutions to the fast fashion crisis are lacking within YouTube\u27s fashion community, and there is a need for influencers to educate and encourage their viewers about the environmental cost of a disposable lifestyle before it is too late
