potential to transform one’s political sensibilities. And if you

Example
I have suggested that we should engage and be engaged by those
persons who see and understand the world differently from
those who sit comfortably within a dominant we society so that
we might (re)imagine or discover a new place for democratic
politics. And as film-goers who find ourselves more susceptible
emotionally to the stimuli presented in a movie theatre, we can
at times experience vicariously, yet deeply, the events, the
stories, the lives of those who are different from ourselves. As
individuals living in a multicultural and diverse society we
should consider opening ourselves up to and welcoming such
engagement and the possibilities for personal transformation in
our individual sensibilities. Such a transformation might occur
when one considers and compares the experiences of his or her
life and the impact of those experiences on his or her identity
next to those raw materials that make-up or construct the
identity(ies) of those who are different from them, specifically
those who have been marginalized, disregarded, and silenced by
a dominant we society. I have suggested that when one truly
sees Other, sees and hears the stories of difference crafted and
told by the Other in film, one might come to respect the
different voices and stories of those lives and thus allow him or
herself to see and experience life from a new position, a
transformed sensibility, where politics transcend convention. In
other words, when we consider our lives next to those who are

2. different from us, when we frame those different human stories
next to our own personal human narrative we may come to
understand how a particular human uncertainty and
vulnerability informs all of our lives.
Identify two films not presented in class that you believe have
the potential to transform one’s political sensibilities pertaining
to deep differences. In addition to your recommendations, be
sure to give a full citation and a short abstract for each of the
two films you suggest.
Example
I have chosen film, cinema, in my work in order to theorize
difficult questions regarding democracy and difference. There
are, however, many points of caution in choosing to use film.
Films often can reinforce and affirm stereotyped and demeaning
images of others; that is, film is as effective a tool for installing

3. as it is for challenging and overcoming oppression. However,
as I write in Chapter One, the fictionalized realism of film can
allow for a sharing of the different experiences that individuals
live through and can serve as a helpful tool to uncover the raw
materials that make up our various social or cultural identities.
In other words, and more specifically, film and film criticism
facilitate the search for a location from which to envision a
democratic politics in ways that are respectful of difference and
that quite possibly can contribute to the transformation of one’s
sensibilities by providing an opportunity to theorize and
imagine a new or emerging politics from a position of

Running head: ETHICS IN RESEARCH STUDIES
Overall Scenario
The process of intentional rounding involves performing regular
checks on all the patients by following a standard protocol is
introduced in UK. The Prime Minister has promoted the process
and further published by the Chief Nursing officer at Health
Department as well as the think tanks that are influential and
individual National Health Service organization. From UK, the
article suggests some ways in which the managerial and
political imperatives impact upon the professional and ethical
practice of nursing. Intentional rounding is not a new rounding
initiative. In addition, it has gained renewed prominence in UK
in the last few years partly as a response to the high number of
scandals that involves the poor nursing care.
The practice has been highly promoted by government officers,
press release, and the prime minister. The evidence that is in the
form of local audits and published studies is cited in support of
reporting, implementing in many claims notable improvement in

4. the health care. Many NHS are implementing the process. As a
result, the article traces the political activity promoting
intentional rounding in UK and the set of professional and
ethical concerns. The evidence base is presented in support of
intentional rounding and found to be of poor quality.
In addition, the evidential claims have been misused as a result
of the transatlantic transferability. The article is about the
ethics of implementation of the intentional rounding. The
manner in which it is introduced is unethical and professional
since the competence standards for utilization of evidence and
professional practice rationale have not been met. As a result,
this makes the issue of the rationale a matter of vocational and
ethical interest than the clinical effectiveness and worthy of
analysis in ethical as well as clinical settings.
Role of Ethics
There are several dissonance and tensions within the nursing
fraternity that are probably in the official documentation. The
tension results into politically triggered practice development
presented as though based on sound evidence base. Recent
Concerns about the quality of care in UK have justified
apparently political micromanagement in the practice as
opposed to the regulation, despite the policy of empowering the
professionals in healthcare. The fact that the government
recognizes the Endeavour implies the need to placate the notion
of professional nursing practice at evidence justifications
(Snelling, 2013). The article concludes that if nursing has to use
evidence inclusive of research
Importance of ethics in research
In UK, the nursing claims to be evidence-based approach to

5. professionalism, consistent with the requirement that the
student nurses methods of research in registration studies, in a
way that they can meet the competency within the midwifery
and nursing council. The practices are imperative in that they
are written as authoritarian standard. The regulatory measures
may suggest that they represent an orthodox view as a
professional based on fully appraised evidence. Where the
intentional rounding is presented by the organizations, fulfilling
the standards is problematic. Ethics is imperative in research in
that the paper discussed have been identified by limited
database through citation tracking since the aim is to evaluate it
in a manner in which the evidence has been presented and
utilized. In addition, this principally requires engagement with
the submitted papers.
There are various critiques that are made about the study.
There is no randomization of the units into the arms of the
study. In essence, ethics helped the hospital in undertaking the
allocation in consultation with the principal investigators. It is
not suggested that there is anything wrong to fund the
arrangement, but rather it is suggested that despite the
acknowledgment, the funders of the study have a financial
interest in the article findings.
