Perspective by Jane Koziol-Mclain, PHD, RN and Emma Davies, PHD.

摘要

Once upon a time (JKM) was emotionally spouting off about the flagrant flaws of a particular publication. A wise mentor listened quietly and then asked, "How would you have done it differently?" In the case of article "The Politics" by Perron et al, I consider this challenge. I declare that I personally support a critical analysis of the spill over of the "war on terror" in nursing. In this case though, the challenge is not in the argument itself, but in the naming of a particular program as an exemplar. I ask myself, would I have named the school? Does the fact that the program is easily identifiable on the Internet mean that it did not need to be named, or on the contrary, would it be silly not to? And perhaps more central, was identification of the single program vital to the argument?
