Working out conflicts face to face can and cannot make a difference in resolving the problem.“These face-to-face interactions build trust, understanding, and a real sense of a shared mission, and this has made all the difference in the world.” This direct quote from Forbes.com explains how this specific way can improve how the world communicates to each other. Many people will disagree with the previous statement, but it is just one of the basic elements of the social system. Admittedly, not everyone believes in face to face interaction.

The Manchurian Candidate was a black-and-white American film released in 1962 that depicted the Cold War and the affects of that paranoia had on the nation. It was released at the peak of the Cuban Missile Crisis and the spread of communism.

In 1964, the Civil Rights Act was enacted by the 88th United States Congress, outlawing any discrimination in the United States. With the Civil Rights Act, and the election America’s first Black president Barack Obama, in 2008, America was gradually becoming a post-racial society after a long history of racism that dates back to the 17th century. History, in conjunction with current events, exposes how America, “the land of the free and the home of the brave” is nowhere near a post-racial society because of white privilege, a broken system, and a new form of slavery; all created by the majority of the United States.

Staffing can have a direct link to patient care. It has also been linked to important patient outcomes like in hospital mortality and adverse events. Without the adequate staffing it not only affects the patient-care that can be provided it also limits the amount of patients that can be seen and helped. On top of those things, it increases the healthcare providers stress due to usually being assigned more patients in the same amount of time. It is not uncommon to see a nurse have 7 patients at one time due to staffing shortages or scheduling mishaps. To be able to give optimal care staffing needs to be up to par on a daily basis. I believe staffing affects many of the other themes in Code Black. For instance, poor staffing can increase wait

Based upon films and shows there are many different ways law enforcement has been portrayed. The ways that they are portrayed in the films can be either an accurate representation of what law enforcement is like in actual departments, or it is an inaccurate representation of law enforcement.

Prohibition can be described as a law that made selling and manufacturing alcohol illegal. By putting this law into effect, it actually increased the amount of crime and violence throughout cities in the US. This was ultimately due to the rise in organized crime, also known as gangs.

The film “The Prestige” is one of many masterful Nolan films that walks the line between being a meta film about the film industry, and being focused on immersing the audience in the actual content of the film.
