California Gov. Jerry Brown signed an amendment covering libel retraction and damages last month, creating the consistent treatment of print and online publications. Assembly Bill 998 replaces the term “newspaper” with “daily or weekly news publication.” This alteration extends libel protections to online daily or weekly publications which were not protected under the original legislation. Section 1 of AB 998 states “it is the intent of the Legislature to ensure that weekly and online publications are afforded the same protection under Section 48a of the Civil Code as is afforded to a daily newspaper to the extent that the weekly and online publications perform the same news-disseminating function as a daily newspaper.”
During 1950, in an effort to reduce military spending, President Eisenhower created the “New Look” Policy and developed the “New Look” Military in order to “revamp” containment and deter the Soviet Union from spreading Communism. Although this was his intention, the United States only succeeded in reducing the military budget, and did not deter the Soviet Union from trying to expand Communism. President Eisenhower wanted to perpetuate the containment policies that were laid out by George Kannan and the NSC 68, and his main goal was to deter Communism with the threat of nuclear retaliation. However, as the NSC 68 tripled defense spending to $50 billion per year during the Truman administration, Eisenhower wanted to drastically reduce the military
According to Mason, Gardner, Outlaw, & O 'Grady (2016), the four spheres of political action in nursing are government, workplace, professional organization, and community. These four spheres play a significant role in opportunities for nurses to get politically involve. Government sphere focuses on laws and regulations concerning nursing practice, as well as reimbursements for healthcare, and influencing local, state, and national policies (Nault, 2012). Government can also determine what health services people are eligible for at certain age, and determines who receives what type of health services.

While our companies have enjoyed a good working relationship in the past, the quality of service provided by Midwest Sparkleen no longer meets the standards we require. As you and I have discussed twice over the last three months, my staff has been forced to call your company as a reminder to complete what has always been routine tasks, such as cleaning up spills, on at least six occasions. The Midwest staff has left toxic cleaning chemicals in public places, putting our associates and customers at potential risk. Last night, your cleaning crew did not lock our lobby door per proper protocol, leaving our office unlocked all night.
Evidence-based decision making becomes the process for achieving evidence-based practice. In decision making process, it involves asking focused answerable questions, obtaining evidence, and application of the findings to practice, and reexamining the process (Brown & Ecoff, 2011). Initial assessment of a problem is the earliest or first step to EBP decision making. The assessment unveils so much about a problem at hand, such as identifying a problem, recognition of key stakeholders and their understanding and attitude towards the identified problem (Brown & Ecoff, 2011).

The Canadian Constitution holds jurisdiction over the organization of Canada’s health care system. Roles and responsibilities are divided between the federal, provincial and territorial governments.

Government policy is an important issue in American politics. Policy is influenced in countless different ways, by many different institutions; two in particular are political parties and interest groups. While both political parties and interest groups are able to command heavy influence over policy, I see the latter as the entity that wields this power more effectively. Without interest groups, political party members would be substantially less knowledgeable about the policies they make. Party members tend to be "generalists"; even though they are somewhat knowledgeable about a broad range of issues, they often lack specific intel that is crucial to understanding how a policy will affect a particular group.

In our society, pubic administrators are sometimes given vague policy mandates from legislators for a variety of reasons. One reason why public administrators are given vague policy mandates is because of their wealth of knowledge and advanced sophistication in specific specialized skills such as “recording keeping and information gathering to allow them to develop expertise on some matters that cannot be matched elsewhere in society” (Rosenbloom, 2015, p. 59). In other words, public administers used their expertise and political and personal experiences to assist them in making a good decisions when facing difficult and complex issues. According to Rosenbloom, “ Not only do public administrators often know more about many aspects of the
He analyses a bottom-up approach to policy making in this book but fails to state if it is adequate. Up until this book was published, the majority of people looked at policy making from a top-down perspective. Since the 1980’s there has been increased debate over which approach is more effective (Gabel, 2012). Top-down implementation occurs when the government set policies and instructions on how to implement these policies. This makes it clear-cut because it is clear and based solely around agency objectives.
