Medical Law and Professional Ethics

Medical Law & Professional Ethics presents the legal and ethical responsibilities associated with careers in the healthcare field. The text describes various medical laws and the legal impact experienced by professionals who are members of this community. Contemporary topics are covered at length, including the ever-important patient-professional relationship. In addition, privacy issues related to the increasingly digital format of healthcare delivery are emphasized. Not all legal and ethical decisions related to healthcare are clear-cut, and some critical decisions are challenging, especially those related to life and death. Medical Law & Professional Ethics presents strategies for making these decisions according to federal, state, and local guidelines. Neither medical law nor professional ethics is static, however. Advancing technologies, including those related to genetics, DNA, and electronic medical records, frequently require new legal and ethical edicts, as well as amended interpretations of existing laws and ethical standards. Medical Law & Professional Ethics provides clear explanations of ongoing dilemmas and includes tips for dealing with constantly changing guidelines. In today's competitive work environment, learning how to interact professionally--and legally--with customers, coworkers, and employers is one sure way to prepare for a healthcare career. No matter your career choice, Medical Law & Professional Ethics will help you jump-start your future.

Assessing Lawyers' Ethics

A Practitioners' Guide

Legal practitioners operate in an environment of seemingly endless ethical challenges, and against a backdrop of diminishing public opinion about their morality. Based on extensive research, Assessing Lawyers' Ethics argues that lawyers' individual ethics can be assessed and measured in realistic frameworks. When this assessment takes place, legal practitioners are more likely to demonstrate better ethical behaviour as a result of their increased awareness of their own choices. This book advocates a variety of peer-administered testing mechanisms that have the potential to reverse damaging behaviours within the legal profession. It provides prototype techniques, questions and assessments that can be modified to suit different legal cultures. These will help the profession regain the initiative in ethical business practice, halt the decline in firms' reputations and reduce the risk of state-sponsored regulatory intervention.

Globalized Arts

The Entertainment Economy and Cultural Identity

The spread of Islam around the globe has blurred the connection between a religion, a specific society, and a territory. One-third of the world’s Muslims now live as members of a minority. At the heart of this development is, on the one hand, the voluntary settlement of Muslims in Western societies and, on the other, the pervasiveness and influence of Western cultural models and social norms. The revival of Islam among Muslim populations in the last twenty years is often wrongly perceived as a backlash against westernization rather than as one of its consequences. Neofundamentalism has been gaining ground among a rootless Muslim youth—particularly among the second- and third-generation migrants in the West—and this phenomenon is feeding new forms of radicalism, ranging from support for Al Qaeda to the outright rejection of integration into Western society. In this brilliant exegesis of the movement of Islam beyond traditional borders and its unwitting westernization, Olivier Roy argues that Islamic revival, or "re-Islamization," results from the efforts of westernized Muslims to assert their identity in a non-Muslim context. A schism has emerged between mainstream Islamist movements in the Muslim world—including Hamas of Palestine and Hezbollah of Lebanon—and the uprooted militants who strive to establish an imaginary ummah, or Muslim community, not embedded in any particular society or territory. Roy provides a detailed comparison of these transnational movements, whether peaceful, like Tablighi Jama'at and the Islamic brotherhoods, or violent, like Al Qaeda. He shows how neofundamentalism acknowledges without nostalgia the loss of pristine cultures, constructing instead a universal religious identity that transcends the very notion of culture. Thus contemporary Islamic fundamentalism is not a single-note reaction against westernization but a product and an agent of the complex forces of globalization.
