Cultural Theory of risk

Nursing theories are applied to nursing research to help guide the researchers and in ensure accuracy, relevance, and effectiveness of the clinical inquiry and clinical interventions. Application of a theory to a clinical research problem is important; Peterson & Bredow (2017) state, “Theories are designed to describe, explain, predict and/or control” the profession of nursing and aim in influence the discipline of nursing. Middle range nursing theories are often utilized as they are less…

is one of the distinctive features of human beings. In a narrow sense, language refers to the spoken words, the speech as the media of communication and interaction among people in the social world. Language theories have been constructed by numerous researchers in history, and these theories have underpinned language instructional methods to native English speakers as well as to English language learners (ELLs). The review of language…

own theoretical standpoint. For example, a behavioral therapist using a family therapy technique would do so in order to observe behavioral tendencies rather than benefit family interaction. Theoretical eclecticism involves the mixing of different theories and ideas from different frameworks. What distinguishes this from technical eclecticism is that the therapist is not wholly committed to one theoretical orientation, but believes in certain concepts of more than one orientation. An example of…

Alongside this limbic system/prefrontal cortex model of risk-taking, there are other theories investigating the link between dopamine activity in adolescents and risk-taking. Dopamine is an important neurotransmitter, released by the ventral tegmental area, affecting brain regions such as the nucleus accumbens, amygdala, medial prefrontal cortex and orbitofrontal cortex, all involved in reward processing (Siddiqui et al., 2008). Research suggests that there is increased activity of neural…

This theory examines the influence of culture, social ideals, weight expectations on body image. Most researchers on body image support that theory that sociocultural factors have the most influence on body image (Dalley, Buunk, Umit, 2009; Bessenoff, 2006; Posavac, Posavac & Weigel, 2001; Van den Berg et al., 2007; Yamamiya, Cash, Melnyk, Posavac & Posavac, 2005). Supporting this theory, Stormer & Thompson (1995) compared the developmental theory and the sociocultural theory of body image…

nursing is necessary as a specialty, explain cultural diversity and how it is applied in nursing practice. Finally, I will provide examples on how I practice culturally sensitive care. Transcultural Nursing as a Necessary Specialty Madeline Leininger examined how the fields of nursing and anthropology were related. Transcultural nursing was established as a specialty within the nursing practice. The theory of transcultural nursing examines individual cultural beliefs, values, behaviors and…

There are many theories to explore when looking at the development of humans, but to help narrow things down and look deeper at just a couple of theories I’ll be taking a further look at Learning Theory and Life course theory, also known as the bioecological theory, and how these two are similar and how they are different from each other. Learning theory focuses on changes in behavior and development that take place because of an individual’s past experiences. There are four theories of learning…

conspiracy theories. While many historians agree that conspiracy theory is a vital feature of modern society that merits attention, there is an ongoing dispute, among historians, about how best to study conspiracy theory. Recent historians approach the topic based on the historic event. While other historians undertake the more subtle challenge of looking at what conspiracy theory behavior means, tracing it from early 1700s up to recent years. Initial historical forays into conspiracy…

problems. Butler confronts this. She does not suppose that the concept of "woman" is a well-defined classification. Society constructs subjects and then people come to represent them. Necessities preceded identity. When it reaches to Michel Foucault theory, the "idea" of a woman may make women isolated from their own society, there could be a deeper identity that defines the classification of a "woman." As long as feminism considers…
