Some historians call the 20th century the American Century, which is very relevant to the Cold War, because for the first time in Europe's history it was more heavily influenced by America than vice versa. However, America was not the only great power impacting the politics, military, and economy of Western Europe. The Soviet Union was also pulling the strings of many governments. The Cold War is more than just a period of idealogical conflict in Europe. It is a period a dramatic self reflection for the continent. Caught between the spheres of influence of two new super powers, Europe had to decide what it wanted to look like. It had to heal from the second of two devastating world wars. It had to rebuild, and in so doing it had to determine what type of governments, social network, and cultural development it wanted to pursue. This week you will pick four countries in Europe. Pick at least one from Eastern Europe, Western Europe, and one from Southern Europe. The fourth country can be from any region. Discuss what it looked like over the forty-five period of the Cold War. Did it align with America or the Soviet Union? What kind of political success or difficulties did it have? How did its economy fair? Who was its major leaders? Did it experience any major political, cultural, or intellectual revolutions? Type a SOLID paragraph for each country. .

Sociology came into existence in the 19th century to explain the enormous changes occasioned by the Industrial Revolution, urbanization, and an individualistic mind-set. Unlike agrarian communities, the emerging urban populations were large, numbering in the tens of thousands. These city dwellers neither grew their own food nor knew each other. In characterizing individuals, they found it convenient to speak in categories or stereotypes. According to the structural-functional perspective, stereotypes served an important communication function, helping them to compare and contrast groups. The social-conflict perspective, on the other hand, argues that stereotypes serve the needs of those groups and categories benefitting from social inequality. Stereotypes help dominant groups to contrast social categories and to justify subordinating the less powerful. Furthermore, by lumping subordinate groups into faceless statistical categories, members of the dominant group dissipate the guilt they would have felt were they dealing with the subordinate categories as individuals. Based on your readings, the online lectures, and your understanding of the above-noted issues, prepare a response to the following question: Is it possible to speak of ethnic groups in America in terms other than stereotypes? Create a response in 3 paragraphs to the discussion question. Cite sources and include references in your response. Submit your response to the Discussion Area by Saturday, October 22, 2016 . Through Wednesday, October 26, 2016 , review and comment on at least two peers’ responses. .

Socialization To begin the process of socialization, having a clear understanding of the definition of nursing is essential. We know what nurses do, but how do we define nursing? Why is defining nursing important? To answer this last question, defining nursing is important for several reasons:To differentiate nursing from other professions.To define our practiceTo provide guidelines for nursing educationTo make nursing visible to the public and policy makers While there may be multiple definitions of nursing from professional organization and state boards of nursing, similar characteristics can be found in all of them. The American Nurses Association offers the following definition: Nursing is the protection, promotion, and optimization of health and abilities, prevention of illness and injury, facilitation of healing, alleviation of suffering through the diagnosis and treatment of human response, and advocacy in the care of individuals, families, groups, communities, and populations. Knowing what nursing is, supports your move into the nursing role. Socialization is the process of internalizing knowledge, skills, attitudes and other concepts needed to function in a role. You have been socialized into your current role. However, after graduating with your BSN, there will be another socialization process as you take on the broader role of the nurse with a BSN. Another way of describing the socialization process is Patricia Benner’s (1984) novice to expert stages. Some of you may be familiar with Benner’s work through your facilities clinical ladder. Socialization of the professional nurse involves developing your knowledge and skills and interacting with other nurses who act as mentors. Throughout the education process, students encounter a variety of socializing agents, including faculty, classmates, colleagues and other healthcare professionals, patients, and family, who subsequently contribute to the formation of a professional self-identify (Lai & Lim, 2012, p. 32). Instructions You are a licensed practice nurse (LPN) collaborating with a registered nurse (RN) for hospital-wide in-service on healthcare associated infections (HAI). After the in-service, a representative from each hospital department will receive an infographic to post in their respective unit. Your job is to create an infographic on preventing HAIs. The infographic should: · Be a one-page visual representation of about Healthcare Associated Infections (HAIS) · Identify common types of HAIs (healthcare associated infections) · Include data or statistics about HAIs · Describe prevention strategies for HAIs Nursing Ethics The Code of Ethics for Nurses of 2015, given by American Nurses Association (ANA), outlines the ethical basis for the nursing profession. It contains nine provisions, which cover the nurses' responsibilities toward the patients, maintenance of their personal professional growth, and their responsibilities to the profession and community.

Social psychologist Philip Zimbardo (1974; Haney, Banks, & Zimbardo, 1973) wanted to investigate how role expectations shape behavior. He was intrigued by the possibility that the frequently observed cruelty of prison guards was a consequence of the institutional setting and role, not the guards’ personalities. In an experiment that has since become well known, Zimbardo converted the basement of a Stanford University building into a makeshift prison. A newspaper ad seeking young men to take part in the experiment for pay drew 70 subject candidates, who were given a battery of physical and psychological tests to assess their emotional stability and maturity. The most mature 24 were selected for the experiment and randomly assigned to roles as “guards” or “prisoners.” Those assigned to be prisoners were “arrested,” handcuffed, and taken to the makeshift prison by the Palo Alto police. The behavior of the guards and the prisoners was filmed. Within a week, the prison setting took on many of the characteristics of actual prisons. The guards were often aggressive and seemed to take pleasure in being cruel. The prisoners began planning escapes and expressed hostility and bitterness toward the guards. The subjects in the experiment so identified with their respective roles that many of them displayed Despite questions about the ethics of Philip Zimbardo’s experiment, sociologists still study his work. Is it wrong to use research data gathered by means we now consider unethical? Do the results of research ever justify subjecting human beings to physical or psychological discomfort, invasion of privacy, or deception? signs of depression and anxiety. As a result, some were released early, and the experiment was canceled before the first week was over. Since the participants had all been screened for psychological and physical problems, Zimbardo concluded that the results could not be attributed to their personalities. Instead, the prison setting itself (the independent variable ) appeared to be at the root of the guards’ brutal behavior and the prisoners’ hostility and rebelliousness (the dependent variable ). Zimbardo’s research shows how profoundly private lives are shaped by the behavioral expectations of the roles we occupy in social institutions. .
