Philosophy Paper on autonomy of surrogate decision-makers justifies deferring to their decisions for incompetent patient

Write an approximately 12-page double-spaced (about 3,000 words) response to one of the topics below:

Does respect for the autonomy of surrogate decision makers justify deferring to
their decisions for incompetent patients even in some cases where they clearly
conflict with the patients’ best interests? First, explain whether and to what
extent you think surrogate decision makers have a legitimate autonomy interest
in the treatment of incompetent patients that should override their actual best
interests (you may want to consider cases like adult Jehovah’s Witnesses’
attempts to refuse transfusions for their minor children). Second, present what
you think is the strongest argument in favour of your position on whether there
is such an autonomy interest. Third, present what you think is the best objection
to your position or your argument in favour of it. Finally, fourth, defend your
position against this objection.

Gender equality in medicine

/in /by
Below is the topic that I have coosen for my essay. I will attatch the instrutor given sheet with instructions.

I am choosing to do my paper on gender equality in medicine, focusing on how male, female, and patients of other genders are treated differently. I feel that this topic is important in getting the correct treatment of all genders so that they get the medical care that they need. In medicine today women tend to be under treated for pain, and in some circumstances are unable to receive treatment that they need or want because of their gender and/or age. I feel that research in this topic is important so that the inequalities can be brought to the attention of others and then maybe someday things can change.

 I chose this topic because as a female with many female nieces it is important that medical care needed to keep patients healthy is available to those who need it. I will not get into the discussion as to whether certain treatments are okay to do or not, but rather how some care is not available to someone because they are female. I am working towards being able to work within a hospital or medical office, and would hope that the providers that I work for would treat everyone equally. Gender equality in health means “that people of all genders should have access to the healthcare they need.” (Gender Equality in Health https://www.paho.org/en/topics/gender-equality-health). I find it fascinating and disturbing that complaints of patients are ignored or just passed off as someone acting with hysteria or anxiety, and because of this they are left untreated. It seems that this treatment of patients is not only done by male providers, that it is seen by providers of all genders.

This question should allow you to interact with much of the content, vocabulary and philosophical positions in the chapter. (Students may also suggest different topics or questions)
-Explain which question you have selected and why.
-Explain what you believe makes this question philosophical and what further
philosophical question it makes you ask, and

For example: I will be arguing against the following theories: 1) Substance
Dualism, 2) Identity Theory 3) Behaviorism 4) Eliminative Materialism

In short essay explain how attitudes influence behavior

How attitudes influence behavior

Individual attitudes and behavior are closely connected to each other. An attitude is a set way of thinking or feeling about everything. It is thus a psychological construct through its emotional and mental entity to characterize a person (Liu et al., 2020). Everyone has attitudes shaped by their past life experiences. They influence how we behave around others and vice-versa. Within the work setting, a positive attitude makes one very productive. Besides, such an employee is likely to deal with any obstacle efficiently as well as look at failures as profound means to improve or introspect oneself. This is important rather than losing hope and thus giving up. A positive attitude indeed impacts our behavior, understanding of situations, and what actions we will take in the future….Read More

What are some strategies to improve work enjoyment and reduce stress within ABA-based treatment settings

/in /by

What factors play a role in work enjoyment?  What are some strategies to improve work enjoyment and reduce stress within ABA-based treatment settings?  

Work enjoyment is the result of people’s thoughts and feelings about their current employment. If employees are satisfied with their jobs, they feel motivated and happy. Employees feel satisfied when they gain what they have been hoping for from the job. This could include job conditions and corporate social responsibility. Job conditions play a crucial role in influencing the job satisfaction of employees (Mustafa & Ali, 2019). Many elements contribute to the job’s conditions. These conditions include freedom in communication, training, equipment, and how co-workers interact. A poor workplace is most likely one of the fundamental reasons for the high staff turnover rate and poor satisfaction and performance…..Read More
