Shaming or Courage? A Scholarly Examination of a Press Release
1College of Nursing, Purdue University Northwest, Hammond, IN, USA.
Abstract:
Shame is an ethical tenet of the humanbecoming ethos, dignity. While shame is a difficult concept to discuss, it is used by some disciplines to transform society. Shaming has become the norm in 2020 society with the advent of social media. A recent press release noted that nursing is complicit with racism if they do not speak up against it. The press release is examined using Milton's straight talk of nursing ethics and Parse's leading-following model to determine if shaming was used to transform nursing related to racism or if it was a nurse leader's act of courage.
