Is Gender a More Important Axis of Representation Than Race, Ethnicity or Class in Politics?

This article argues that having representatives from all parts of the society in politics will help the policies to be more people-centric. Including more and more women in the political field will not diminish the significance of representing any minority group in legislative issues, rather it will focus on proliferating the dynamic interest of those underestimated people who are incessantly being doubly enslaved, not just for their socio/religious/class/ethnic identities, but additionally for their gender identities. This argument is based on the claim that women's increased participation in the political field is required not only on the grounds that there are some particular women's issues that could be more effectively taken care of by women. Additionally, no sort of development in society can be accomplished by keeping women in a marginalized position. Hence, this article suggests that we can begin with by having gender as the most important axis in politics and ultimately reach to a fairer and libertarian culture by progressively comprising other axes.

“…They all serve to put pressure on the player. This is done (1) by using vast resources, understood as the computer’s ability to create endless numbers of enemies; 2) by presenting limited information to the player, he or she is held in partial darkness; (3) by increasing pace, unit respawn times, and movement speed; (4) by asymmetrical relationship between computer and player (each side having different strengths and weaknesses); and (5) by using indirection (triangularity), which means presenting a special unit for the player to create a choice (Fullerton, Swain, & Hoffman, 2004; Meier, 2012) between following the current action or changing course and going after the special unit. Indirection (triangularity) creates a “mixed offensive-defensive relationship” (Crawford, 1982, p. 62).…”

The aim of this article is to advance a conceptual framework of ludification by separating out current thinking to incorporate two noninteractive cinematic areasplayful aesthetics and gameful narratives. Ludification is usually associated with the construction of ludic identities and cultural practices in the usage of new media or with application of game elements in nongame contexts known as gamification. This overlooks, on the one hand, the influence of cinematic aesthetics on computer games and, on the other hand, the extent to which play aspects and computer game elements imprint and transform the narrative compositional structures of modern cinema. The present study's investigation will present an expanded conceptualization of ludification, classified by playfulness and gamefulness through interactive/ noninteractive properties, aesthetic forms of expressions, and narrative compositions under the respective headings of gamification and cinemafication. These efforts unearth five traits of computer game influences on contemporary cinema presented under the headings, (1) play worlds, (2) ludified quests, (3) controller and interfaces, (4) play experience, and (5) game structure.

“…162 Various national insurers are reimbursing for some concurrent curative and palliative care services, where the latter are often provided by hospice and home health agencies. 163 New York in 2008 passed landmark legislation that requires health care providers (nursing homes, hospitals, assisted living facilities and others) to facilitate access to palliative care counseling and information for all patients with advanced lifelimiting conditions. 164 Finally, Oregon's centralized state registry of POLST forms allows providers across the state to have 24-h access to patients' advanced planning directives.…”

In 2012, the share of California's Gross State Product consumed by healthcare was 15.4%, and approximately 50% of healthcare spending went to care for 5% of the population. To address such cost challenges as well as to improve quality of care and patient outcomes, a group of California's private and public sector healthcare leaders, with academic and analytical expertise provided by the University of California, Berkeley's School of Public Health, came together in a collaboration known as the Berkeley Forum for Improving California's Healthcare Delivery System. This Report lays out the Forum's Vision: A rapid shift towards risk-adjusted global payments and coordinated care provided in large, integrated systems. Furthermore, the Forum supports the implementation of seven initiatives, such as the greater use of patient-centered medical homes and palliative care, as well as increased physical activity. Together, these initiatives are estimated to reduce healthcare spending in the state by $110 billion (or $800 per household per year) between 2013 and 2022. These savings would bend the cost curve, reducing the expected share of Gross State Product consumed by healthcare, from the estimated 17.1% to 16.5% in 2022.
