Agenda setting
The document summarizes the agenda-setting theory of mass media proposed by Walter Lippmann and empirically tested by McCombs and Shaw in 1972. Their study in North Carolina found a strong relationship between the issues given priority in media coverage and those issues the public considered most important, supporting the theory that the media agenda influences the public agenda. This marked the beginning of recognizing the media's ability to shape public perceptions of what issues are most salient.
Agenda Setting Theory
The document discusses agenda setting theory in media, which describes how the media can influence the public agenda by determining what issues are important through intense coverage. There are two levels of agenda setting - the first influences what issues people think about, while the second decides which parts of issues are emphasized. While some are skeptical about its effects, agenda setting theory suggests that heavy media coverage of certain topics can affect public perception of what matters most and influence especially those with a high need for orientation.
Agenda setting theory ppt
The agenda-setting theory originated in 1972 when McCombs and Shaw studied the 1968 US presidential election. They found that the issues given prominent coverage in the media were also considered important by voters. This showed that the media has the ability to influence the salience or importance of issues on the public agenda by deciding what to cover prominently. Later research expanded this to the concept of framing, which is that media can influence not just what issues the public thinks about, but also how they think about those issues through selective presentation and emphasis of certain aspects of stories.

Principal ethics
This document discusses several key principles of medical ethics including beneficence, nonmaleficence, autonomy, and justice. It defines beneficence as providing positive benefits and removing harm, and nonmaleficence as doing no harm and minimizing risk. Autonomy refers to a patient's right to make informed healthcare decisions. Justice means the fair distribution of healthcare resources. The document also discusses deontological ethics, which focuses on duties and rules, like not killing or stealing. In medicine, deontological ethics requires protecting individuals from harm, even during epidemics.
Hcad 650 healthcare ethics
Dr. Y misdiagnosed and overprescribed medication to Patient X, which led to their death from a heart attack. This was a case of medical malpractice and unintentional tort. Patient X's family could sue Dr. Y for negligence, having to prove that Dr. Y deviated from the standard of care by misreading the medication instructions and that this caused Patient X's death. Healthcare ethics principles of autonomy, beneficence and non-maleficence were violated. Providers must respect patient autonomy, act in their best interest, and do no harm. Ongoing training in healthcare ethics is important to avoid such violations and ensure principles of justice, respect and fairness are followed.
Principles of ethics
The principles of doing “good” and not doing “harm” are the essence of every code of medical ethics. It is the duty of all medical professionals to their patients to exercise their professional skills in an ethical manner and to observe the laws of the community. The essential purpose is to ensure that the patients’ trust in the medical profession is deserved. This is achieved by protecting the patients and ensuring that they are able to obtain the maximum benefits available from the medicine. At the same time, the medical ethics aim to protect patients from the abuse that can occur when one person is in the position of power via-a-vis another

Medical ethics are based on moral principles of determining what is good, bad, right and wrong. They are not the same as feelings, religion, laws, or social norms.

Beneficence means acting in the patient's best interest by providing treatment intended to do good. Non-maleficence is the idea of "first, do no harm" and ensuring procedures do not harm patients. Justice concerns the fair distribution of scarce health resources.

What is Ethics
Ethics is not a religion
Ethics are not the feelings
Ethics is not a law
Neither it follows any law
Ethics is not a science
Ethics is not a collection of norms that a specific culture accepts
Beneficence
Beneficence is action that is done for the benefit of others
For example, a patient who has had bypass surgery may want to continue to smoke or a patient with pneumonia may refuse antibiotics.

Health Care Ethics
Health care ethics is a set of beliefs, moral principles and values that guide health care centers and related institutions to make choices with regard to medical care. Some health ethics include: respect for autonomy, justice and non-maleficence (Percival, 1849).
The principle of justice in health care ensures that there is respect for people’s rights, fair distribution of health resources and respect for laws that are morally acceptable.

Consequently, there have been debates in countries such as the UK over the refusal to give expensive treatment to patients who are likely to benefit from the treatment but cannot afford it. One ethical in the principle of justice is as to whether the health care center is creating an environment for sensible and fair use of health care resources and no particular type of patients are shun away or stigmatized. The legal question is whether the health care center is breaking the law against inequality and discrimination particularly racism, tribalism, gender insensitivity and other discrimination noted and prohibited in the country’s constitution.
The second area of health care ethics is respect for autonomy. Autonomy means self-determination or self-rule. Hence, this principle stipulates that one should be allowed to direct their health life according to their personal rationale. The patients have a right to determine their own destiny freely and independently as well as having their decision respected (Pollard, 1993).
This principle is important for study because not many people would not want to be treated as those with dementia; a disease involving loss of mental power. Many people are afraid of the prospect of not being able to decide their own fate and exercise self-determination. An ethical question in this principle of respect for autonomy is whether the health care center ensures that the patient is provided with ...
