Arrington (2001) argues that advertising does not manipulate people in ways that undermine their autonomy. He claims that advertising merely employs marketing techniques that create an association of products with people’s “independent needs and desires that they already have and not creating those basic desires”. Arrington suggests that our culture and social environments is the source of our desires. The common hierarchical models of autonomy (Frankfurt, 1988; Dworkin, 1976), suggest that autonomy is comprised of first-order desires, which fulfils our second-order desires. Arrington explains that an autonomous desire is one that we endorse via a second-order desire. To understand Arrington’s point that “autonomous first order desires are…
I agree with your statement that we can cause harm as a result of not acknowledging autonomy. I think that assisting patients to a position of maximum autonomy involves providing them with unbiased information about their health status and pros/cons of their treatment regimen. According to Canther (2001), providing value-free information includes staff being ready to engage in debates that include awareness of the interpretation which their own values and beliefs unavoidably impose on the evidence (Canter, 2001). Furthermore, Brinchmann (2002), explains that nurses must be ready to work collaboratively with patients and within the multidisciplinary team to enable patients to express their own point of view, commensurate with their desired…

In the medical field there emerges a conflict that all physicians will eventually come to deal with, or are already dealing with regularly; that is the conflict of Autonomy and informed consent versus Paternalism and the doctor's intervention. In one hand, Autonomy is the principle of non-interference and the right to self-governance; informed consent is the concept that "Every human being of adult years and sound mind has a right to determine what shall be done with his own body (102)" it is the exercise of a choice after being informed of the process and risks of a medical treatment. While in the other hand lies Paternalism; "the interference with, limitation of, or usurpation of individual autonomy justified by reasons referring exclusively…
The theoretical frameworks that will be utilized in this study are the Self Determination theory (STD) and the Communication Privacy Management (CPM) theories. Combination of these two theories is effective to understand the pregnant women’s behaviour towards UI. This is because self-determination and communication skill is importance to determine the decision making with regards to self-motivation to look for disease treatment.…
It is important to understand and respect individual’s beliefs when supporting them, as we need to ensure we are doing what is right by that individual. This is where PCP would be key to ensure we gave the correct support. This will lead to less challenging behavior, creating and sustaining better family relationships. This will lead to the people that we support being happier and hopefully increasing participation.…
In “Individual Autonomy and Social Structure”, Dorothy Lee discusses how in today’s society, it is “difficult to implement human dignity in the everyday details of living.” (pg.5, Lee) However, Lee discusses how by analysing different cultures and how they deal with similar situations, it is possible to come up with a solution for this society.…
In every city, state, community, or in one’s self, there is some type of autonomy occurring. So what is autonomy? Autonomy originated from Ancient Greece, that characterized city states as self-governed and is known as self- governed, self-determination, self-rule, or self-law (Piper). Later, autonomy come to be “understood as a property of persons” (Piper). In the episode “Both sides now” of House, autonomy is questioned between both House and his split brain patient in various ways, such as their views about the right and left hemispheres of the brain, their unspoken self-governed thoughts or actions of their right hemispheres, and their realization of what their right hemisphere was trying to tell them.…
Why are some people highly motivated than others? I think about this question often because I have some coworkers that are driven like myself whereas others lack ambition. I specifically chose articles that focused on psychological needs and individual differences within an organization because I wanted to understand the motives behind my behavior as well as the behavior of coworkers. In addition to this, I wanted to understand and know from a manager's perspective on how to shape a worker's attitude to enhance job satisfaction. Of course, the above statements have puzzled motivational scholars, psychologists, and individuals such as myself for many years, but I will examine these concerns in this paper.…
The theory that best applies to my behavior change, is the self determination theory. The self determination theory looks at motivation and personality and combines aspects of behavioral self regulation as well as personality development (Ryan & Deci, 2000). It takes into account the psychological needs of the person, and also looks at a combination of these factors in order to determine the type of motivation a person has. According to Ryan and Deci, there are three needs that need to be met for a person to feel a sense of wellbeing, growth and development (Ryan & Deci, 2000). Those needs are: a need for autonomy, a need for competence and a need for relatedness. I felt that the self determination theory best applied to my behavior change because in order for me to change my sleeping habits, I first had to identify what my motivation was and why I was making the change. I also had to make sure that the three psychological needs were met with my behavior change or the change would be unlikely to happen.…
Taking the assessment for the coaching style, the numbers rated me as a driver. The driver coaching style is describing as a person who is goal driven, change addicted, stress driven, and a doer. While on the workroom floor at the Postal Service as a supervisor, I am placed in areas, which are not making productivity. I am a trouble shooter. Most areas I am placed in, is not making their productivity, they have employees who are not coming to work and not engaged into their job assignment. “Structural equation modeling analysis results revealed that the autonomy-supportive coaching style had an indirect and positive effect on prosocial behavior through the mediation of autonomous motivation (Zuosong, C., Dong, W., Ronkainen, J., & Tao,…
Patient autonomy refers to S.Z deciding what the best option for himself is, whether that is discharging home to continue working with his curandero for management of his conditions, or discharging to a nursing home (Potter et al., 2015). While members of the health care team and his daughter may not believe the best option is for him to continue working with the curandero, they have to respect S.Z’s decision. Overall the goal of patient autonomy is to decide the best course of action for the patient, keeping the patient’s wishes in mind (Potter et al., 2015). By meeting with his primary care provider, S.Z can explain his rational for seeing a curandero and why he is not taking his prescription medication; the doctor can also asses S.Z’s mental health from his wife passing away. This steps into the second supporting point for the solution – having S.Z’s provider educate him on different treatment…
Over the first few weeks, this course has mostly studied ideas around personality psychology. In life there are so many decisions we have to make and a huge question that we all ask ourselves before me make one of these decisions is, what would everybody else do or what is everyone else doing? In the world, some people are leaders but most are inherently followers. A lot of the time we make decisions based on what others around us are doing, even if we know they aren’t the best decisions. I wanted to look at factors that could possibly answer or support this question. The two variables that I looked at the correlation between were autonomy and extraversion. Extraversion was on the Big 5 Aspect Scale measure which includes the enthusiasm and…
Patients have the ability to leave their providers if they are not happy with them or they can voice their opinions in an attempt to change the care. A strategy for patient satisfaction is through a variety of surveys. The surveys are provided so that patients can rate them and voice any concerns about the care of the clinic. It shows patients that the healthcare facility actually cares. Surveys can be done at the healthcare facility, through email or letter, or even through the phone. The data is then gathered and observed and the…
