Book Synopsis The Ethos of Medicine in Postmodern America by : Arnold R. Eiser
Download or read book The Ethos of Medicine in Postmodern America written by Arnold R. Eiser and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2013-12-24 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Has postmodern American culture so altered the terrain of medical care that moral confusion and deflated morale multiply faster than both technological advancements and ethical resolutions? The Ethos of Medicine in Postmodern America is an attempt to examine this question with reference to the cultural touchstones of our postmodern era: consumerism, computerization, corporatization, and destruction of meta-narratives. The cultural insights of postmodern thinkers—such as such as Foucault, Deleuze and Guattari, Lyotard, Baudrillard, Bauman, and Levinas—help elucidate the changes in healthcare delivery that are occurring early in the twenty-first century. Although only Foucault among this group actually focused his critique on medical care itself, their combined analysis provides a valuable perspective for gaining understanding of contemporary changes in healthcare delivery. It is often difficult to envision what is happening in the psychosocial, cultural dynamic of an epoch as you experience it. Therefore it is useful to have a technique for refracting those observations through the lens of another system of thought. The prism of postmodern thought offers such a device with which to “view the eclipse” of changing medical practice. Any professional practice is always thoroughly embedded in the social and cultural matrix of its society, and the medical profession in America is no exception. In drawing upon of the insights of key Continental thinkers such and American scholars, this book does not necessarily endorse the views of postmodernism but trusts that much can be learned from their insight. Furthermore, its analysis is informed by empirical information from health services research and the sociology of medicine. Arnold R. Eiser develops a new understanding of healthcare delivery in the twenty-first century and suggests positive developments that might be nurtured to avoid the barren “Silicon Cage” of corporate, bureaucratized medical practice. Central to this analysis are current healthcare issues such as the patient-centered medical home, clinical practice guidelines, and electronic health records. This interdisciplinary examination reveals insights valuable to anyone working in postmodern thought, medical sociology, bioethics, or health services research.
Book Synopsis The Bohemian Ethos by : Judith R. Halasz
Download or read book The Bohemian Ethos written by Judith R. Halasz and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-02-11 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The iconoclastic ingenuity of bohemians, from Gerard de Nerval to Allen Ginsberg, continually captivates the popular imagination; the worlds of fashion, advertising, and even real estate all capitalize on the alternative appeal of bohemian style. Persistently overlooked, however, is bohemians' distinctive relationship to work. In this book, sociologist Judith R. Halasz examines the fascinating junctures between bohemian labor and life. Weaving together historiography, ethnography, and personal experiences of having been raised amidst downtown New York's bohemian communities, Halasz deciphers bohemians' unconventional behaviors and attitudes towards employment and the broader work world. From the nineteenth-century harbingers on Paris' Left Bank to the Beats, Underground, and more recent bohemian outcroppings on New York's Lower East Side, The Bohemian Ethos traces the embodiment of a politically charged yet increasingly precarious form of cultural resistance to hegemonic social and economic imperatives.

Download or read book The Ultimate Retail Manual written by Jeffrey P. McNulty and published by New Retail Ethos Publications. This book was released on 2018-08-01 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The retail sector is in the midst of a chrysalis period (major transformation) that is forcing most retailers to recalibrate their intentions with how they execute their business strategies. Many retailers are struggling with adapting to the NEW RETAIL ETHOS which is flummoxing a large segment of retail executives with how to correspond with fluctuating consumer demands in the digital age. Fortunately, this is creating a cacophony of opportunity for retail leaders to establish heuristic methods that will create an axiomatic bridge between legacy retailing of the past to the highly innovative, enthralling, and multisensory digital world of tomorrow, thus, creating an engaging retail utopian future.WITHIN THIS MANUAL YOU WILL LEARN* Four Techniques to Drastically Increase Net Income* The No-Limit Concept to Increase Revenue and Skyrocket Your Gross Margin Levels* Six Methods for Abolishing Revenue Deterrents and Increase Customer Brand Loyalty* How to Increase Top-Line Revenue and Maximize Per Square Foot Revenue* How to Attract and Retain Top-Notch Talent Throughout Your Organization* How to Create an Inclusive Environment for Your Employees & Customers* Feng-Shui Techniques to Foster an Environment of Auspicious Energy* How to Promote the Right Leaders and Reward Your EmployeesThese retail concepts are a series of compounding ideas that create an overall advantageous synergistic effect. They generate effectual momentum analogous to The Flywheel Effect that Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos incorporates which creates a "virtuous cycle" a.k.a. a positive feedback loop. This translates into a magnetic and interactive shopping environment that is built upon solid foundations, devoted relationships, transparency, and an amalgamation of concrete values that truly serve your customers. This retail manual was created to assist any new or experienced retail leader (department manager up to the C-Suite executive) with acclimating to an experiential retail environment while supplementing and enhancing their existing retail acumen.
Download or read book Management Ethics written by W.A. Evans and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-08 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Society is a nexus of individual perceptions. The world is as we each see it, no more and no less. To hope that we shall all agree on what is good or bad is to hope in vain. This is not solipsism transferred to moral philosophy; it is realism born of observation. This book tries to remind its readers that you can be responsible only if you understand the basis of your responsibility; that you can exercise responsibility only if you have the power to do so; that you cannot lay down a conceptual framework of behavior in business if you have no framework of life; that every facet of your conduct as a manager and employee involves a delicate balance between rebellion and absolute conformity. Indeed, it may be that the hardest lesson is that of learning that compliance and silence and obedience are frequently more desirable than protest when all stands to be lost. To gamble on a poor card hand is the act of either an excessively foolish or a supremely clever man; since the proper judgment of risk is an uncommon facility, poor hands are normally lost. There is no such thing as a corporate attitude, just as there is no such thing as the will of the people.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Globalisation has now been accepted as an inevitable development with all its benefits and problems.

Each had his/her own perspective and this book attempts to depict the different shades of lenses through which they view the problem and seeks to offer a rationale for these differences. It is felt that a study of the different traits would enable the growth of mutual understanding and thus make such interactions more objective and fruitful.Critical study of several leading countries in the American continent, Europe, Asia and Australia has been carried out and the discerning traits identified to establish country and time specific trends as also the changes that have taken place and are most likely to happen.

Book Synopsis The Ethos of the Climate Event by : Kellan Anfinson
Download or read book The Ethos of the Climate Event written by Kellan Anfinson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-12-30 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book develops a politico-ethical response to climate change that accounts for the novelty and uncertainty that it entails. This volume explores the ethical dimensions of climate change and posits that one must view it as a social construction intimately tied to political issues in order to understand and overcome this environmental challenge. To show how this ethos builds upon the need for new forms of responsiveness, Anfinson analyzes it in terms of four features: commitment, worldly sensitivity, political disposition, and practice. Each of these features is developed by putting four thinkers – Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Schmitt, and Foucault respectively – in conversation with the literature on climate change. In doing so, this book shows how social habits and norms can be transformed through subjective thought and behavior in the context of a global environmental crisis. Presenting a multidisciplinary engagement with the politics, philosophy, and science of climate change, this book will be of great interest to students and scholars of climate change, environmental politics, environmental philosophy and environmental humanities.
Download or read book Ethics at Work written by Barbara Goodwin and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2001-11-30 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What would tempt you to whistleblow? Do Codes of Conduct make organisations ethical? How do people react to taking the blame for others? This book answers such questions, drawing on the views of employees in eight large organisations. One finding is the `whited sepulchre phenomenon': an organisation which presents a squeaky-clean image to the world but has intrinsic failings which cause moral dilemmas for staff. While treatment of customers is regulated by Codes and Charters, internal organisation is typically more anarchic. The study also exposes the moral conflicts generated by party-political machinations in organisations with democratic governance. The book offers a unique perspective on ethical attitudes at work and reactions to responsibility and accountability. It finds that, although religious belief is declining, strong moral beliefs still thrive and `ethical employees' abound. It highlights the importance of empowerment, procedures, and professionalism in creating the `moral organisation'. This original study will interest practitioners in business, the public sector and NGOs, especially human resources professionals, as well as philosophers and business ethicists.
Book Synopsis From Physicians’ Professional Ethos towards Medical Ethics and Bioethics by : Corinna Delkeskamp-Hayes
Download or read book From Physicians’ Professional Ethos towards Medical Ethics and Bioethics written by Corinna Delkeskamp-Hayes and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-02-01 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book assembles essays by thinkers who were at the center of the German post World War II development of ethical thought in medicine. It records their strategies for overcoming initial resistance among physicians and philosophers and (in the East) politicians. This work traces their different approaches, such as socialist versus liberal bioethics; illustrates their attempt to introduce a culture of dialogue in medicine; and examines their moral ambiguities inherent to the institutionalization of bioethics and in law. Furthermore, the essays in this work pay special attention to the problem of ethics expertise in the context of a pluralism, which the intellectual mainstream of the country seeks to reduce to “varieties of post-traditionalism". Finally, this book addresses the problem of “patient autonomy”,and highlights the difficulty of harmonizing commitment to professional integrity with the project of enhancing physician’s responsiveness to suffering patients. As these essays illustrate, the development of bioethics in Germany does not follow a linear line of progressiveness, but rather retains a sense of the traditional ethos of the guild. An ethos, however, that is challenged by moral pluralism in such a way that, even today, still requires adequate solutions. A must read for all academics interested in the origins and the development of bioethics.
Book Synopsis Entertainment Values by : Stephen Harrington
Download or read book Entertainment Values written by Stephen Harrington and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-08-14 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection brings together the work of a range of scholars from around the world with different perspectives on one simple question: How can we assess the value of various entertainment products and forms? Entertainment is everywhere. The industries that produce it earn billions of dollars each year and employ hundreds of thousands of people. Its pervasiveness means almost everyone has something to say about entertainment, too, whether it be our opinion on the latest Hollywood blockbuster, a new celebrity couple, or our concerns over its place in the world of politics. And yet, in spite of its significance, entertainment has too-often been dismissed with surprising ease within the academy as a ‘mindless’, ‘lowbrow’ – even ‘dangerous’ – form of culture, and therefore unworthy of serious appraisal (let alone praise). Entertainment Values, challenges this assumption, offering a better understanding of what entertainment is, why we should take it seriously, as well as helping us to appreciate the significant and complex impact it has on our culture.
