Simulation Module for Patients with Hypoglycemia

Simulation Module for Patients with Hypoglycemia Development and Evaluation of Simulation Module for Patients with Hypoglycemia INTRODUCTION Background Human patient simulator (HPS) has been used in medical education (Alinier, Hunt, Gordon, Harwood, 2006) for almost four decades. Since simulation using high-fidelity has begun by applying crisis intervention training on nurse anesthetist   (Fletcher, 1995), over the past 10 years, simulation has been rapidly expanded in nursing education (Dunn, 2004). Simulation education is not just about obtaining simple knowledge and techniques but rather have been considered as a kind of new education method that can train nursing care ability by reproducing real-like clinical situation in a safe environment (Hodge, Martin, Tavernier, Perea-Ryan, Alcala-Van Houten, 2008; Steadman et al, 2006). Moreover, simulation education have been accelerated by shortening of the patient’s admission period and limited chances of nursing student’s participation due to elevated expectations on the medical staff by the patients. Through simulation education, student carry out physical examination directly on simulator and immediately identify physiological changes on the monitor. After implementing the proper intervention, they can get feedbacks from results (Bremner,Aduddell,Bennett, VanGeest, 2006). Therefore education using simulation is becoming the most important subject in current nursing education as a method that can improve problem solving ability and critical thinking of students in clinical situation (Corbridge, McLaughlin, Tiffen, Wade, Templin, Corbridge, 2008; Feingold, Calaluce, Kallen, 2004). Since a simulation practice method has been introduced to the nursing practice educating in South Korea ten years ago, many study results on the effect of simulation education have been reported in the area of pediatric nursing (Yoo, 2013; Shin, Shim, Lee, 2013), maternity nursing practicum (Kim, Ko, Lee, 2012; Kim, Lee, Chae, 2012; Lee Kim, 2011), psychiatric nursing (Choi, 2012), and critical and emergency care unit (Kim, Choi, Kang, 2011; Kim Jang, 2011). Current scenario that can be used in simulation education is not still developed variously in sub-major nursing areas in Korea. Therefore case is not appropriate to situation so there is a difficulty of having simulation practice. Especially, diabetes mellitus is prevalent disease in middle ages. However, it can be controlled by both concrete assessment for differentiation and anticipatory management. And because patients with diabetes mellitus should always manage blood glucose in their life, nursing education to prevent h ypoglycemia is essential education contents. In nursing student education, simulation practice for critical thinking training to identify symptoms and plan nursing care as priority due to hypoglycemia is effective and important nursing problem. In this study, we tried to test the applicability of the simulation by developing simulating education scenario based on the case of hypoglycemia and evaluating student’s performance after using it. The study was done to improve nursing students’ critical thinking on nursing problems and clinical decision-making ability by developing scenario with high-fidelity SimMan simulator based on clinical real situation. The purpose of this study is to develop a scenario and evaluate students’ performance and satisfaction in simulation learning of care for patients with hypoglycemia. METHOD Design This study used a mixed method design which captured both quantitative and qualitative data to evaluate degree of performance and satisfaction as development and applying simulation module with hypoglycemia. In disciplines such as nursing, the phenomena studied are often complex and mixed-method approaches can expand the impact and enhance the flexibility of research designs (Sandelowski, 2000) Participants A convenience sample of 55 nursing students participated from a university located in Seoul, South Korea. We have decided that third year nursing students who have enough basic knowledge on pathophysiology will not have difficulty in applying simulation education on patient with hypoglycemia and developed simulation scenario targeting them. The inclusion criteria to attain hypoglycemia included (a) junior nursing students, (b) completion of fundamental and endocrine system nursing course with the same credits and textbook, and (c) no prior participation in a simulation class focused on diabetes mellitus. The participants ‘ ages ranged from 21 to 25 years. The majority of students 89% were women. Ethical considerations’ Approval to conduct this study was obtained from the Sahmyook university institutional review board (SYUIRB-2013-074). Written informed consent consist of issues of voluntary participation, anonymity, and confidentiality. It explained the purpose of study, the researchers’ credentials, and information regarding confidentiality. Collected data will be managed in the researcher’ office and will be shredded after coding. The IRB proved that there were no factors to this study that would deprive human ethical right, and that all contents and processes confirm to proper research ethics. Process of module development Scenario development Contents of scenario were developed based on real patient’s situation which admitted to emergency unit with shock symptom due to hypoglycemia. In addition, we searched more information on nursing care for hypoglycemia from nursing textbook and protocol. Scenario was focused on developing of student’s ability about assessment and problem identification by critical thinking. For this, the purpose of scenario formulation was to differentiate the origin of shock symptom between hypoglycemia and increasing of intracranial pressure. For testing of validity, five experts consisted of three nursing professors, two nurses who have worked in emergency unit over 10 years reviewed contents of scenario. The scenario was pilot tested using five students (not included in the present study) to determine feasibility and clarity of instructions. No problems were identified. Development of evaluation checklist The evaluation checklist focused on the attainment of critical thinking ability rather than implementation skill and was divided into three categories: assessment, problem identification, and interventions. Finally, 4 items were deleted and 16 items reached by consensus (Table 1). The items were selected, reviewed, and analyzed by a seven expert panel including two nursing professors, five advanced practice nurses. Process of debriefing Debriefing questions were also developed focused on critical thinking as three phase process. Description phase : ‘What decision did you make when patient complains dyspnea? Why did you do?’; Analysis phase : ‘Did you have an enough understanding about nursing care for patient with hypoglycemia after this simulation practice?’; and Application phase: ‘How can you cope real nursing situation in future through what you learned?. These three phases for debriefing are based on clinical judgment model by Tanner (2006). After taking simulation practice, students had debriefing time for about 20~30 minutes per group of four students. The nursing students were encouraged to reflect on their critical thinking. Data collection procedure Data were collected from May6, 2013 to June 28, 2013. The study’s purpose and its procedures were explained to the participants prior to obtaining informed consent. All participants enrolled in this study voluntarily and anonymously, were made aware that there was no disadvantage to nonparticipation as well as information regarding confidentiality. In addition, the data would be reported as a whole and not individually. The ratio of participation was 98%. Before the simulation, students received an orientation that included how to operate the simulator, simulation learning objective, the scenario information, and patient’s health status. Four nursing students have teamed up to have a discussion of the simulation scenario. Students were asked to wear uniforms and to treat these as actual professional situations. The simulations were scheduled in simulation rooms in which the high-fidelity patient simulators were used. One operator and one instructor observed the simulations from the control room. Each simulation lasted 20 minutes, with the simulation module including debriefing taking about two hours per group. The evaluation checklist was evaluated as a group and was handed to two instructors in a sealed envelope. After simulation module, student satisfaction was measured using the Satisfaction of Simulations Experience (SSE). Instruments The evaluation checklist tool using 3-point Likert scale (1: not fulfill, 2: partially fulfill, 3: fulfill) was a researcher-developed tool designed to assess simulation-based performance. The higher the evaluation checklist score, the better the performance. Content validity was conducted from nurse educators, simulation experts, and clinicians (n=10). The results of the content validity index were above 80% (Waltz and Bausell, 1981). Inter-rater reliability between two independent raters was established using Cohen’s kappa. Satisfaction which students felt about simulation practice was measured just after finishing the debriefing session using the Satisfaction of Simulations Experience (SSE) scale developed by Levett-Jones and colleagues (2011). This scale consists of 18 items in the area of debrief and reflection (9 items), clinical reasoning (5 items), and clinical learning (4 items). Each item was scored on a 5-point Likert scale. Higher scores indicated higher satisfaction. Cronbach’s alpha coefficient in this study was .94. Data analysis The evaluation checklist and the SSE were analyzed using SPSS 18.0 for Windows to calculate descriptive statistics including means and standard deviations. Debriefing data were analyzed using the Matrix Method (Garrad, 2007). Four researchers was analyzed all papers related to debriefing. It were photocopied and organized as a review matrix that, once labeled appropriately, would serve as a structured abstract of all of the documents. The 3C’s (i.e., codes, categories, and concepts) of analysis was used to capture key characteristics of interest, thereby summarizing a large amount of textual information into meaningful themes (Lichtman, 2006). RESULT Scenario of simulation-based hypoglycemia The patient’s case was developed based on scenario objectives and performance measures. The simulated patient was a 55-year-old man admitted via the emergency unit complaining of dizziness and sweating. The algorithm proceeded as follows: assessment, problem identification, intervention (Fig. 1). Evaluation Checklist The evaluation checklist consisted of three categories and 16 items. To identify a statistical measure of inter-rater agreement for items, Cohen’s kappa was measured. Cohen’s kappa for the evaluation checklist was 0.61, good strength of agreement, and each category ranged from 0.33 to 0.97. The mean score of each category and item is shown in Table 1. The mean score is average of numbers of two measurers. The total mean score was 2.68 ( ±.129). The mean score of assessment was 2.56 ( ±.199), problem identification was 2.91 ( ±.193), and intervention was 2.71 ( ±.192). Debriefing Student comments about the simulation experience were grouped 2 categories, 9 subcategories, and 303 significant statements using content analysis (Table 2). The categories were as followed: Self-reflection and Improvement of competency. The most frequent subcategories, in order, were nursing intervention, coping ability deficiency, perception of real situation, clinical thinking deficiency, knowledge deficiency and communication. Satisfaction with simulation experience The SSE scale was used to assess participation in the simulation experience. The total mean score of SSE was 4.15 ( ±.68). The mean score for debrief and reflection was 4.21 ( ±.58), clinical reasoning was 4.09 ( ±.50), and clinical learning was 4.08 ( ±.46). The highest score item in SSE was â€Å"I received feedback during the debriefing that helped me to learn†, and the lowest was â€Å"The facilitator made me feel comfortable and at ease during the debriefing† (Table 3).

Tanglewood Case 3

Tanglewood Case #3 Nelson Ivan Castro PID# 3774408 1. Recruitment Guide Position: Sales Associate Reports to: Store Manager Qualifications: High School Diploma. Good communication and writing skills. Leadership and analytical skills. Ability to learn and apply a variety of policies and procedures. Work effectively as a part of a team. Relevant Labor Market: Regional Northeast Timeline: There are continuous hiring activities to interview future candidates for the positions. Activities to undertake to source well-qualified candidates: * Employee referrals Posting job on company site * Radio and newspaper advertising * KIOSKS * Job services * Staffing Agency Staff Members involved: * Store Manager * Store Assistant Manager * Department Manager Budget: $2000- $3500 2. We understand that recruitment is one of the most difficult aspects for an organization, who is looking for potential employees. There are different types of recruitment, but I believe that Tanglewood should use an Open Rec ruitment process. This step will allow them to have a variety of applicants from different races, cultures and ages.Also, it will allow them to recruit employees with different strengths and weaknesses, helping them to create a team work that is supported by all of its members. On the other hand, Tanglewood can use targeted recruitment for high management positions that might require specific KSAOs, so the job can be developed. * Media: Tanglewood is media advertising, such as print, radio, and television advertising sources, coupled with respondents filling out a standardized job application. This is an open method of recruitment since it gives the opportunity to a large body of people to apply for the job. Referrals: it is a targeted method since allow employees from Tanglewood to promote and show the positions available to people who might meet the job requirements. * Kiosk: Is an open method since a large variety of people to apply for any position at the store, instead of writi ng on a piece of paper their personal information, they type it into the system. * State Job Services: It can be an open method since all unemployed people can look for any positions available. However, it can be targeted since some positions will require some specific qualifications for certain positions available. Staffing Agency: It can be both targeted an open since they can look for special people with specific qualifications, and people with basic skills for any regular job. 3. Western Washington branches find that referrals possess a higher qualification and retention rate than kiosks, media and job service; it also provides the highest percent of applicants hired. Furthermore, Job service is very practical for this side of the company, even though the percentages and the number of applicants hired are less; it provides the same satisfaction as referrals.On the Eastern Washington branches, referrals also play an important role in the recruitment process, even though Kiosks an d media both provide a high number of applicants, the hiring and retention rate for referrals is way much higher allowing this to be an important tool for this branch to find future employees. On the other hand, for Northern Oregon branches find that by using staffing agencies a better way to find their employees since it provides them with a higher qualification, short and longer retention.The Kiosks and media provide certain type of percentage and even though they are cheaper, they are not as effective as hiring an agency. Finally, In Southern Oregon Kiosks provide the bigger pool of applicants, but it holds a low retention and qualification rate. In this branches they also prefer to use staffing agencies since it provides a better short and long time retention and qualification for the job; however, staffing agencies represent a higher costs, since it is more expensive than referrals and kiosks. . The Northern Oregon suggests an idea of using Kiosks and staffing agencies for hiri ng employees for all the stores, they believe this is the most accurate way that Tanglewood should use and implement to recruit new workforce; these methods have not only been successful Northern Oregon, but for South Oregon region too. However, The Eastern and Western regions have used a different approach, they have used the employee referral tool to recruit new employees, and it has been successful until the moment.I believe this region does not have a valid point, because if they decide to generalize the hiring and recruitment process into general ways as Kiosks and staffing companies, these other branches might start using and hiring people who does not have clearly understand what the needs, tasks, basic requirements and knowledge for the job are. Also, by implementing these new policies these branches might not receive the same quantity of people trying to enter the organization, and quality from the employees, affecting the working environment and results of these stores. . Tanglewood wants to keep improving their customer service quality to better assist the costumers; they should focus on obtaining sufficient quality from the variety of people who would like to work at Tanglewood, allowing employees to see this company and this position as a long term commitment. If we pay attention what Tanglewood is scared the most is the retention rates of positions from their employees, since employees do not believe and feel any kind of closure between them and the job.Furthermore, Tanglewood has noticed before that many employees hired without any kind of retail experience do not recognize the importance of having good customer service skills, and training is not enough to solve this issue. Tanglewood should look for people with certain skills for specific positions, they should look for quality employees who have at least a minimum of knowledge, and with the help of training reinforce their knowledge and teach them how to apply this on their job. 6. A realisti c recruitment message is a basic way of communication that states the name of the company and the job as it is.The purpose of this type of communication is that companies try to sell the job to applicants with only the positive things about the job, like good salary and benefits. Job attributes in an RJP for an associate: POSITIVE JOB ATTRIBUTES * Dental, Vision and Medical care. * Belong to a strong and respected workforce. * Training in different learning areas. * Different opportunities to obtain promotion. NEGATIVE JOB ATTRIBUTES * Salary has not risen for the past four years. * Promotions are very selective. * Annual reduction of benefits for family members.A branded message is when an organization wants to show a good image, so future applicants might develop a connection feeling towards the organization, in this way the company will try to sell the idea to the applicant by saying that this company is a great place to work surrounded by nice, helpful and committed people. * Wo uld you like to work in a nice competitive environment in which you can exceed your abilities as a professional? Well, come and apply at Tanglewood stores, and learn and master your abilities while getting paid; receive medical, dental and vision care and 401K. Don’t waste your time!!

Essay on Romanticism - 4035 Words

Romanticism In spite of its representation of potentially diabolical and satanic powers, its historical and geographic location and its satire on extreme Calvinism, James Hoggs Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner proves to be a novel that a dramatises a crisis of identity, a theme which is very much a Romantic concern. Discuss. Examination of Romantic texts provides us with only a limited and much debated degree of commonality.

As the empirical Rationalism of the eighteenth century was†¦show more content†¦Griffiths agrees that the central distinctive feature of Romanticism is the search for a reconciliation between the inner vision and the outer experience. Duncan Wu asserts that Romantic texts are often concerned with division..and reunion between the body and the spirit. (Wu, xvii). David Oakleaf specifically applies this theme to Confessions identifying it as Robert Wringhims refusal to accept himself as both a spiritual and corporeal creature. (Oakleaf, 27). It is worth noting that Hogg himself felt somewhat torn between his traditional spiritual side and his intellectual corporeal side. We shall see that this is a biographical detail of Hoggs life that spills over considerably in his depiction of a crisis of identity in Confessions. It is also worth remembering that what is conveniently termed the Romantic period was one of great social and political division. Britain itself was undergoing a societal crisis of identity catalysed by the industrial revolution, increased literacy and the noble beginnings of the French Revolution. As a result the literature of the age reflected this on a number of levels both overt and covert; tangible and spiritual. In the Scotland of Confessions almost everything is at odds with everything else. It is fraught with historical, religious and familial divisions and, more substantially, divisions of identity.

Domestic Violence A Cause of Homelessness in Women Essay

As soon as we moved into this house, you think you can have your way. You are my wife and I tell you what you can do and what you cant do. This kind of statement is typical of what a battered woman knows to be the only truth in her household. Domestic violence is greatly on the rise and is one of the leading causes of homelessness among women in todays society. Rather than approach domestic violence as a direct cause of homelessness, one might hope to understand how such violence could help create the circumstances that might make a woman more susceptible to homelessness. Domestic violence and poverty may intersect with other issues to produce the circumstances that often leave women no other choice but to seek temporary shelter†¦show more content†¦The impact of divorce, battering, and other family disruptions in combination with economic insecurity and primary responsibility for their children lead many women towards homelessness. It is believed that half of all homele ss women have been a victim of some form of domestic violence, based on self-reporting and observations of various programs staffers. (National Research Council, 1996). However, the numbers of homeless domestic violence victims may be underestimated because some victims are reluctant to self-report. Homeless women seldom view their abuse as their primary problem and may not reveal that they are victims. In some cases, if a woman reports that she is a victim of domestic violence, a homeless shelter may refuse to accept her for security reasons. Most shelters do not offer services to women unless they conform to the criteria that distinctly makes them part of the particular group the shelter program targets. Programs can be specifically geared towards battered, homeless women and have been a great success in dealing with the emotions of the situation. Much of the writing and public discuss on domestic violence suggests that a woman who escapes a violent relationship is almost always in serious physical danger, and therefore needs a shelter of some sort to escape from a mate who will eventually harm her again repeatedly.

One may ask themselves, was the impeachment of President Bill Clinton completely necessary from the cause of action of the Lewinsky Scandal? Having an affair with a 22 year old un-paid intern is unprofessional and crude. Not only was this immoral, but also when in trial for the scandal, President Clinton denied having sexual relations with Lewinsky. He was now committing acts of perjury. Clinton also influenced witnesses of his trail to vogue for him in front of the court of law. Though Lewinsky could have been lying about being touched by President Clinton, there is a lot of hard evidence supporting otherwise. The acts that President Bill Clinton bestowed upon Monica Lewinsky were immoral. Monica Lewinsky was hired to work was an intern at the White House during Clinton’s first term. During this time she had allegory formed a relationship with him, which was later proved true after a 21-day senate trail. In 1991 Paula Corbin Jones, a former Arkansas state worker claimed President Clinton had confronted her sexually when he was serving as governor of Arkansas. She later filed a sexual harassment lawsuit on the president; which was followed by a federal court hearing. In President Clinton’s testimony, he denied having any type of affair with Lewinsky. Lewinsky also denied to having such a relationship. President Clinton and Lewinsky both claimed to be strictly co-workers and nothing more. Kenneth Starr came forward with compelling information regarding the Lewinsky Scandal. Starr had telephone conversations recorded by Linda Tripp, in which Lewinsky described her association with the president. Hillary Clinton claimed that a â€Å"vast right-wing conspiracy† was trying to put an end to her husband, while Republicans and conservatives described him as immoral and a liar. As a President of The United States of America one is expected to be professional and honest. The actions that President Clinton commits not appropriate, though, people are simply human, when in position of power here is a time when situations like this are completely and utterly unacceptable. Impeachment was in order to prevent President Clinton from continuing on his presidency after being guilty of adultery and perjury. President Clinton was under oath when he denied having sexual relations with Lewinsky. Clinton was acquitted by the Senate on February 12, 1999. Clinton denied telling his aides actual lies about the nature of his relationship with Lewinsky, even though secretaries reported that he told them that he did not have sex in any form specifically including oral sex with Lewinsky. Article I states that Clinton lied to the grand jury about ‘his corrupt efforts to influence the testimony of witnesses’† (An Analysis 1) Clinton’s secretaries, who had no reason to lie about it, reported that he denied having sexual relations with Lewinsky. He lied and hoped that these men would repeat these lies, as well as their attacks on the honor of OIC. Clinton had committed two acts of perjury. The first was Perjury #1A: Undefined Sex. Paula Jonesâ₠¬â„¢ lawyers asked whether Clinton had had a â€Å"sexual affair† with Lewinsky. He answered no. His lawyers argue that Clinton believes â€Å"sexual affair† means â€Å"sexual intercourse. † However, to its true definition it is. So, Clinton’s testimony was a lie. The second act was Perjury #1B: Defined Sex. Paula Jones’ lawyers handed Clinton a now famous definition of â€Å"sexual relations† â€Å"contact with the genitalia, anus, groin, breast, inner thigh, or buttocks of a person with intent to arouse or gratify the sexual desire of any person† and asked whether he’d had these sorts of relations with Lewinsky. Clinton answered no. Kenneth Starr asked Clinton the same question before a grand jury, and again Clinton answered no. Clinton’s lawyers point out that â€Å"this narrow definition did not include certain physical acts. † This, of course, is an indirect way of saying that it doesn’t include oral sex. What about Lewinsky’s claim that Clinton touched her breasts? Clinton’s lawyers admit that if Lewinsky is correct then Clinton perjured himself. The day after Clinton’s deposition in the Jones Case, he discussed his relationship with Lewinsky to his personal secretary, Betty Currie. According to Currie’s testimony, Clinton said, among other things, â€Å"We ere never really alone,† â€Å"You could see and hear everything,† â€Å"Monica came on to me and I never touched her, right? † and â€Å"She wanted to have sex with me and I can’t do that. † These statements could easily be seen as an attempt to make sure any future testimony by Currie squared with Clinton’s. In Clinton’s testimony in the Jones case, Cli nton made several references to Currie as Lewinsky’s close friend, almost alluring the lawyers for Jones to depose her. This suggests that in his conversation with Currie the next day he was focused on preparing her to testify falsely, should she be added to the deposition list in the Jones case. It is also possible that Clinton had a second conversation along the lines of his first after he learned that the OIC was investigating his possible perjury in his Jones deposition. Betty Currie visited Lewinsky’s home and collected gifts given to her by the President, which she then stored under her bed in her own home. It seems likely that Currie would not have taken this action without Clinton asking her to do so. If he did, it would be an attempt to avoid having the gifts obtained by the OIC through an order it could be seen as an attempt to hide evidence.

Media Law and Ethic Impact on the Industry

Question: Describe about the Media Law and Ethic for Impact on the Industry. Answer: Examines the process of self-regulating the media industry, with emphasis on its impact on the industry players and the audience (BLUE) The process of self regulating the media industry basically is meant to be the way of controlling and guiding of mass media by the Government and regulatory bodies in UK. Based on the various laws, rules and regulations, the process of media self regulation could have different types of goals or objectives that were needed to be achieved. It could be used in various cases like while encouraging competition within the business environment and also act as an effective and useful media marketing activity for establishing the common standards of technology. It could be a signal for providing commitment for the interest of public. There are numerous media sectors like free-to-air broadcast television, the Internet, advertising, news, all of which combine to form the media industry as a whole (Haufler, 2013). The main focus of self regulating process had been the radio or television, press, satellite, distribution technology, use of mobile phones as well as implementation of information te chnology for the use of internet in an effective manner. The Media Development Authority of Singapore Act was mainly developed in order to identify the various kinds of functions of the Media Development Authority and also provide services related to license for allowing media services in an effective manner at Singapore. A number of guidelines and regulatory standards were also established so as to provide media services through television, internet and social media as well (Kunkel et al, 2010). The self regulation process also helped to make various recommendations to the Government based on various matters connected to the media services along with provision of media services in order to facilitate the interests and preferences of individuals. This had been mainly done for creating a positive impact on the media industry, thereby allowing for maintenance of better standards and quality management of the media services all over Singapore (Hritier Eckert, 2008). According to the A ct of Broadcasting, the public service broadcast programming had been encouraged and make sure that the various forms of media like internet, advertisements and free-to-air broadcast on televisions, newspapers, etc. were utilized properly. Not only had the audiences been benefited with their needs and requirements fulfilled, but also the industry players had been affected in a positive way as well. The Media Development Authority or MDA also adopted a self regulatory mechanism which had further enabled the media industry to self regulate and maintain fair market share within the competitive business environment too. Due to this, the customers or general public were provided with a wide range of quality services and their interests and preferences had also been safeguarded (Kunkel et al, 2010). Therefore, this is how the process of self-regulating the media industry had managed to create a positive impact on both the players of the media industry as well as the audience. Discusses arguments for and against self-regulation of the media industry (GREEN) Within the free democratic world, the media services had always been termed as a major form of self regulatory process for the Government of Singapore. The media services provided had helped in monitoring the progress and status of the Government and regulatory bodies and also ensure sharing and exchange of information, data and ideas so as to promote freedom of expression in an effective manner too. Though the media industry was able to bring a lot of positivity for the general public of Singapore, still there were few issues which made it against the self regulation of the media industry (Puppis, 2007). The Sedition Act was enabled to cover all the various speeches or written conducts regarding the media services provided that were related to various forms of trouble making abilities. Thus mainly made people show their dissatisfaction against the Government of Singapore, which made it hated by many people of Singapore as well. There were many individuals who used to print or publis h seditious or trouble making issues through the advertising and promotional events, internet and free-to-air broadcast television, as a result they were termed as guilty and sources of treason or disloyalty according to the section 4 of Seditious Act (Omarova, 2011). This prevented many newspapers to allegedly public matters that were termed as seditious activities. One such example of this kind of activity was the publishing of materials related to anti Muslim and anti Malay activities, that lead to various sort of discrimination and violence too. A blogger was also charged for the comments related to racism on web sites, which also was referred to illegal activities that grabbed the attention of many people and also made them show their anger and hatred towards the Government of Singapore (Sharma et al, 2010). All these matters that were published and were broadcasted free to air on televisions basically generated a sense or feeling among people to create violence and disobey the law or lawful orders as well. This further more resulted in various sort of discrimination and prejudice to the public and national interest of people of Singapore. The Film Act was established to promote the political party films, which resulted in harming the beliefs of other political parties, thus resulted in creating conflicts among people too (Storey et al, 2005). Task 2 Discuss arguments for and against self-regulation of the media industry and analyze whether a self-regulatory model works for the industry. Give examples in your analysis. Analyses whether a self-regulatory model works for the industry (PURPLE) With the enabling of freedom of media in Singapore, one of the most effective model of self regulatory mechanism for the media industry could be the Mills Liberal Media model or theory. The arguments both for and against had been done on the media industry in the previous sections and according to those, it had been found that the self regulatory theory or model had various features and characteristics along with a number of assumptions that had been made. The assumptions showed that all human beings are rational, so in case of any faults by them, they were needed to be corrected. Their opinions and responses would be termed as valuable and in case those are problematic, then a certain amount or portion of valuable truth of people would be stolen (Wilde, 2009). The opinions of people when silenced might be the actual truth, though sometimes it could falsify the information as well. The various information and data related to truth must be discussed properly, and then promoted through television and newspaper; otherwise it might create a negative impact as well as create some kind of prejudice and conflicts among people as well. The model of Mills Liberal Media also consisted of freedom of media and expression, which ensured protecting the freedom too (Brown, 2005). The journalists had played a vital role to present the voice of general public while the censorship had been done so as to prevent truth to expose. The media could act as a self regulatory body that would keep regular check on the Government and further take help of Internet and televisions so as to discuss about certain matters and ensure freedom of expression to people as well (Haufler, 2013). Give examples in your analysis. (ORANGE) Few examples were considered during the analysis of this self regulation process by the media industry comprising of the free to air broadcasting on televisions, advertising activities and also utilization of internet. One such example was the case when two bloggers posted offensive comments on the internet web sites related to the anti Muslim and anti Malay materials. This resulted in accusing many people and also discriminate them based on their race, origin or ethnicity (Hritier Eckert, 2008). Due to this, there could be various situations when the people might get affected and create racial conflicts and violence as well. There were also other media services where sexual materials were broadcasted on television, which gave rise of child pornography and other illegal activities. Another example was the applying of sedition charges against Leslie Chew, who was a political cartoonist and used promote politically nuanced comics on the Face book pages. This resulted in offensive acti vities and also promoted feelings of hostility and bad image about the political parties among the minds of public (Dal Zotto Van Kranenburg, 2008). The person who was allegedly confirmed as guilty for these kinds of activities stated that his works were fictional and had no relevance with the actual political matters or public events, was later dropped from the sedition charges. Other examples included for the analysis of this research topic could be the blogger who posted racist comments on his personal blog (Kunkel et al, 2010). Due to this, he was charged according to the Sedition Act of Singapore. Later, it was clearly confirmed that there was no need to educate the children about the multi racialism in Singapore. The Government also decided to review the legislations and codes of practices related to the media services and how these activities of people had created a negative impact. Afterwards, he was fined with $5,000 and stayed in jail up to three years imprisonment (Puppi s, 2007). References Brown, G. (2005).
