Brief Overview of Treatment and Main Concerns Throughout the Taman case, the Taman family received different treatments from different services. Though some of the services received were understood, and considered to be beneficial, the majority of the services received by the Taman family were widely misunderstood, questioned and thought to be inconsiderate, unnecessary and intrusive at a time that a family is supposed to be grieving and trying to understand the sudden loss of their loved ones. This being said throughout the inquiry the treatment received by the Taman family is discussed in detail, it is here that I will provide a brief overview of the treatment the Taman family received and the main concerns that need to be discussed in regards to these treatments or lack thereof. First and foremost it is important to note that since Robert was made aware of the accident before the police could identify victims, deaths and survivors, Roberts victimization began with a very …show more content…
This being said, the "full extent of victimization by impaired drivers in Canada is not known" (justice.gc.ca). Furthermore, “despite the devastating impact impaired driving is known to cause, victims of impaired driving crashes are yet to be fully recognized as victims of violent crime” (Victims of crime, week 4). It is believed that this association exist because members of society do not associate intent in regards to injury in cases of impaired driving. The crash is often further associated as an accident rather than an intended action. Yet it is not the notion of the crash that causes victimization to family and friends, but rather the association with the intent to drive while under the influence of alcohol that further victimizes the family through their own continuous disbelief and “wrong place wrong time”
The family of Jahi has experienced limited resources as well as limited possibilities, however the quality of life has a strong hold on the medical decisions made by the family. According to Johnson and Rhodes (2010), quality of life (QOL) is one of the main focuses by the hospice movement (p. 64). It is known as the general well being of individuals and societies. This includes fields of international development, healthcare, and politics.

When people are drunk, they are unable to perform daily activities and are not competent to reason normally. Driving laws do not allow people who are under the influence of alcohol drive due to the fact, that they are not able to respond normally, but people on their reservation do not always follow these rules. They are careless and this influences their decisions which have damaging effects: “ In fact, last week, she [his grandmother] was at the Spokane Tribal Community Center. When she was struck and killed by a drunk driver (Alexie 157,158)”. Juniors grandmother was killed by a Indian who was under the influence of alcohol, for this incident could have been avoided if that person was simply not driving while under the influence. Additionally, Juniors grandmother had never drank in her life as she knew what it did to people. So, why should someone else’s mistake of drinking and driving have an affect on her. It should not, but the problem is with alcohol the brain is not able to work properly and this leads to mistakes. Junior has been to 44 funerals at the age of 15 and a significant number of those are related to alcohol. If the community wants to have a better life, they need to understand that alcohol has a negative effect by putting people at risk to be seriously hurt or even killed.

The facts are plain and simple, that alcohol and driving do not mix. About three in every ten Americans will be involved in an alcohol related crash at some time in their lives. Every single injury and death caused by drunk driving is totally preventable. To curb this national travesty, concerned Americans need to examine the problems, the effects, and the solutions to drunk driving. First of all, America has had a problem with drunk driving since Ford perfected the assembly line. Alcoholism is a problem in and of itself, but combined with driving can have a wide range of effects. The consequences of this reckless behavior can include a first time DUI or licenses suspension; a small fender bender, or worst of all a deadly crash. Most drivers that have only one or two drinks feel fine, and assume they are in control, which is irresponsible and dangerous. Alcohol is a depressant that slows down the body's ability to react and impairs judgment. To drive well, you need to be able to have a quick reaction time to avoid accidents. Unfortunately, people continue to drink and drive. However,...
In the Matal v. Tam court case, the court settled certain aspects of the First Amendment law while it opened up new issues in trademark law. It is a challenge for the uninitiated to follow a coherent path through the court’s First Amendment. Tam and his band, The Slants, sought to register the band’s name with the U.S. Trademark Office. The Office denied the application because it found that the name would likely be disparaging towards “persons of Asian descent.” The office cited the Disparagement Clause of the Lanham Act of 1946, which prohibits trademarks that “[consist] of or [comprise] immoral, deceptive, or scandalous matter; or matter which may disparage or falsely suggest a connection with persons, living or dead, institutions, beliefs,

Apart from the apparent accident, victims may fear that the first crime will reoccur in the future. The fear, confusion, and hatred affecting accident victims, coupled with inaction by the judicial system may provoke others to also engage in drunk driving. Sometimes, the defense attorneys front a rationale that the suspect has mental issues and thus their actions cannot be counted on them because of psychological impairment (Karjalainen, Lintonen, Joukamaa, & Lillsunde, 2013). The dismissal of cases of cognitive dissonance increases the chance of the offenders repeating the action. Furthermore, even the courts know and classify these individuals as mentally ill patients in need of treatment and management of their
Drunk driving is a completely needless crime due to it not being obligatory and completely recreational. According to the DMV, every 53 minutes, someone is killed by a drunk driver and every 90 seconds, someone is injured. That totals to about 350k people affected physically by someone driving under influence. That also doesn’t include the families affected by the fatalities or injuries. Almost one out of every three traffic deaths involves drunk driving and one in three people will be involved in a drunken driving crash in their lifetime. Some may believe that driving “tipsy” is not as ba...

The subject of death and dying is a common occurrence in the health care field. There are many factors involved in the care of a dying patient and various phases the patient, loved ones and even the healthcare professional may go through. There are many controversies in health care related to death, however much of it roots from peoples’ attitudes towards it. Everyone handles death differently; each person has a right to their own opinions and coping mechanisms. Health care professionals are very important during death related situations; as they are a great source of support for a patient and their loved ones. It is essential that health care professionals give ethical, legal and honest care to their patients, regardless of the situation.
The type of research study, sample size, variables, intervention, measurement method, findings, and conclusion are all mentioned in the abstract. Statement of the Problem The problem explored in the article was stated as a problem statement. In this article, the authors explain the stressful situations of families having loved ones die in the intensive care unit. They also state that this problem is very important because there is poor communication between staff, physicians, and surrogates in the plan of care for end-of-life measures (Lautrette et al., 2007).
Countries”, written by Bryan Rookey, an Associate Professor at the University of Portland, is quoted “although driving a vehicle while intoxicated has been against the law, social definition of drunk driving has changed” (Rookey 4). The rate at which drunk drivers are pulled over and charged has increased more and more with every year, even with the laws that are in place. There are more and more people on the roads that could be charged with drunk driving. The fact that they could get lucky and not get caught is another
Once we have determined who is a victim and how that determination is applicable to them we must determine the victim reaction after the crime. Will they seek help and report the crime? How will they react to the community’s response? The latter which leads to the fourth broad question of general victimology which is how society will, in turn, react to the victim after the crime (Doerner & Lab, 2012).
Many people in the United States enjoy a drink of their favorite alcoholic beverage. It could be a nice ice cold beer after a hard day of work or going to the bar and enjoying a few shots or mixed drinks with friends. Drinking alcohol is a common way to mingle with friends and take the edge off a difficult day. However, there are dangers involved with alcohol since it does dampen the body’s ability to cope with new information. Alcohol becomes a poison to the body when consumed in large quantities. The biggest danger is not to the driver after they become inebriated, but comes to anyone the drunk driver comes in contact with. A sober person can be dangerous just by being distracted, but a drunk driver’s ability to cope with changing situations and distractions is one of the biggest hazards on today’s roads. Some individuals believe that they are not as impaired as what they are led to believe from government ads and the many videos that show what can happen to someone who is drinking and driving. Although, there are many policies in place to advocate against drunk driving, there are those who would endanger themselves and others with their thoughtless actions when they jump into the driver’s seat of a vehicle. Drinking and driving should never be combined because a person who has been drinking does not have the ability to use all mental faculties unimpaired, many people have been killed, injured, or psychologically hurt by a drunk driver, many men and women do not know the difference weight and gender have on the body’s ability to process alcohol, and the financial and legal trouble that is awaiting for those convicted by a DUI.
