Health care professionals including nurses, doctors, and clinical officers among others come into contact with patients of various faiths on a daily basis. As such, health providers have an obligation of understanding each of these faiths to provide healthcare to all their patients (Ammerman, 2005). However, since it is practically impossible for a given healthcare provider to master everything about every religion around the world, they must always ask their patients directly about their faith and what role it may play in their healing. There are various faiths around the world that holds different views regarding healthcare and ...

The novels: “Things Fall Apart,” “The Street: A Novel,” and “Christ in Concrete” shows the poor treatment of women in the society.

The poems can be interpreted from a variety of points of view, including political, social, and religious. When the poems are analyzed from a religious point of view, the concept of faith need be discussed. In fact, the two poems, when taken together, contribute quite significantly to ...

This happened in 1982 where they wanted to show that people in the world tend to think about the “if only” of some certain events in their lives. There are positive feedbacks from the numerous researches conducted about the ...

It was early in the morning, and everything in Abraham’s

and Eliezer, the faithful servant, accompanied him along
the road until he turned back again. They rode along in har-
many, Abraham and Isaac, until they came to Mount Mo-
riah. Abraham made everything ready for the sacrifice, calmly
and gently, but when he turned away and drew the knife,

Isaac saw that Abraham’s left hand was clenched in despair,

that a shudder went through his whole body — but Abraham
drew the knife.

Then they returned home again, and Sarah hurried to meet

them, but Isaac had lost the faith. Not a word is ever said of
this in the world, and Isaac never talked to anyone about
what he had seen, and ...

Human body has complex physiological mechanisms that keep the vital functions in a well orchestrated manner. Depending on the needs of the body, a precise balance of essential internal communications, pathways or networks and secretions is maintained. A deviation from the normal state due to genetically, biochemical and environmental effects could negatively impact the integrated body machinery. In addition, the impact of age could also become additive in precipitating the ill effects. Age is the most important factor that determines the severity of a given condition. A precise management of such condition is possible only through appropriate investigations. The present description is ...

Young Goodman Brown is a moral story about a Puritan minister, which is told by one religious leader. The author of the story is Nathaniel Hawthorne, who used unimportant concepts in order to show the story’s alternative meaning.

Scientists are concerned about the lack of student interest in studying science (Dillon & Manning, n.d.). Researchers have conducted various studies. They have determined that the influence of teachers, curriculum, and classroom environment has an impact on student interest. This literature review describes current research regarding this dilemma as well as some recommendations. According to authors Dillon and Manning, “science teachers are made, not born”. This is very important to consider as it speaks loudly about a teacher wanting to teach science. It is better for students to learn science from a teacher that wants to share their scientific knowledge (and any ...

Introduction

The starting point of the learning process is curiosity that is crafted in the minds of the young people. This essentially includes the student’s aspiration of participating in the learning process (Lumsden 1). Unfortunately, the zeal to learn more and the curiosity developed constantly decrease as the young ones grow older in the education system. In order to maintain the level of determination and curiosity, the young students need motivation from people with experience in different areas. Motivation to learn involves the stimulation of a student’s natural desire to be involved in the learning activities. This means that ...

Literature Review

In the beginning the, the ancient –medieval intellectual system of the Aristotle provided a concrete background for the development of the stable and harmonious natural phenomenon which was considered to remain unchangeable (Mozaffari,359-368). Even more ancient than this, was the idea that the celestial phenomenon place direct effects on the happenings on the earth. This very perspective is in itself reflective of the egocentric perspective of the human mind which seems to be one of the major characteristic of the activities of the human mind and display itself in the day to day activities ( Richardson, p.309-311). One of the ...

Al-Ghazali is a twelfth century theologian cum philosopher from Persia, and is considered by many as the most powerful Islamic personality of all times, next only to Prophet Mohammed himself.

The story is set in the year 1949 in Nigeria and depicts the clash between traditional values and rituals and world views. This is especially true as Nigeria was a British ...

Introduction

Life has different attractions, points of interest, meanings or attitudes that varies across one’s existence. What might have seemed funny engaging at a young age might be considered irritating or upsetting at a more advanced age. This change in the attitude towards life is part of a process, the process of getting older and it is underlying the generation conflict. The generation conflict theme is common to the short stories that will be comparatively analyzed in this paper, respectively: Katherine Mansfield’s “Miss Brill” and Flannery O’Connor’s “A Good Man is Hard to Find”. The generation conflict has distinct ...

In her article “Framing Cultural Difference: Immigrant Women and Discourses of Tradition,” Volpp portrays how immigrant culture can confine the lives of immigrants to a troubling conflict regarding whether they should remain traditional or become modern. To support her central argument, she elucidates the case of Tina Isa, a 16-year old immigrant Palestinian girl who was murdered in the U.S. by her own parents. Volpp argues that specific important facts become indecipherable because of the conflict of remaining traditional or becoming modern, where the powerful context within which violence against women takes place is ignored or not adequately emphasized. Volpp argues ...

Introduction and Section One

Friedrich Nietzsche’s renowned words, “God is dead,” introduce several important ideas of this philosopher. It is not a literal death he is describing, but the death of an idea and tradition. For example, in the first section of the excerpt, he describes Christian religion as “a piece of antiquity out of distant ages past,” and later wonders, “Can one believe that things of this sort are still believed in?” (110). This section of the writing calls into question the idea that a modern society, with all its new knowledge and discoveries, can still invest itself so heavily in religious belief as a ...

In Moliere's Tartuffe, the titular character is a rogueish, villainous cad who takes advantage of the kind but naive patriarch Orgon. Orgon as a character is difficult to defend; much of the play involves other characters attempting to wake him up to Tartuffe's blatant and transparent hypocrisy. However, Orgon continually excuses Tartuffe's behavior or does not believe his family members, choosing to buy into the con artist's charms. Some may see that Orgon is the hopeless, hapless pawn, the obstacle that gets in the way of stopping Tartuffe from taking complete advantage of the family; despite this naivete, Orgon has a great ...

Faust finds himself in a precarious situation when his ideological beliefs are called into question. Once idealistic, Faust becomes disillusioned and bitter leading him to sign a contract with the Devil in exchange for power in his life. Faust finds that his life when he leaves his faith in God’s hands is not as he wants it; however he fails to realize his part in this disappointment. Instead of taking responsibility for his own failures he places all of the blame on God.
Faust’s disappointment may be due to the fact that he has unrealistic ideas about how ...

Throughout Sappho’s poetry, one can hear a vibrant, yet somewhat melancholic voice that brings out sentiments of love and affection correlated with powerful natural imagery. The verses reflect a certain communion between love, reflection, natural symbolism and the act of communicating with the gods. It is both spiritually soothing and enlightening to read Sappho’s poetry, even though the bittersweet feeling of yearning is persistent in her lyrics. At the same time, Sappho’s verses are sensual and daring – no bashful tone resides in her expression of true and powerful emotions. Moreover, a nice feeling of intimacy is established between the ...

Religions have been a part of every nation’s history and tradition since the start of civilizations. They have played key roles in creating tradition and belief, even influencing the creation of suitable government and laws for people to follow. These religions try to satisfy the question of the existence of life, the idea of what is God and the concept of spirituality and human responsibility. While some of them have considered that there is only one God or a Supreme Being that watches the existence of man and the presence of life and death, they still differ in understanding the ...

You can tell a lot about a person merely by what their appearance is telling you; these ‘channels’ of the body are what express the mind’s emotional state, and help to judge someone’s personality, and whether something is affecting their state of mind. Nonverbal behavior is an important component to forming impressions about people's personality, sociability, and mood, among other things (Ambady and Rosenthal, p. 439). When someone typically tries to figure out what someone’s emotional state may be, three determinants are used; the emotional state of the observer, the emotional state of the observed, and the information ...

Literature review

When we talk about the artists from the 19th century, readers have prejudices about them as the authors of sentimental novels whose protagonists are mostly young girls who seek justice for themselves. This is not the case with Emily Dickinson. In order to understand her poems, readers need to have an insight in the social circumstances of the time when he lived. In these days, you were not supposed to have a public opinion, your job as a female, was limited to the running of the household and that was all. Even though Emily Dickinson was a mild and condescending person, her ...

In the conservative denominations within evangelical Christianity, a considerable deal of weight is placed on the notion that explicitly stated faith in a risen Savior is a requirement for admission to heaven. This is the bread and butter of evangelical sermons now – and it has been since the days of Charles Spurgeon and other preachers riding the circuit, bringing the message of salvation to churches across the globe. Those believers who attend worship in these denominations place a high value on their own inclusion in the Kingdom of Heaven – and in the exclusion of others who have not made the same sorts of ...

Visual arts can be defined as the forms of arts that produce works which are basically visual. Visual arts include creative works like ceramics, painting, print making, crafts, drawing, designs, sculpture and the modern visual arts like filmmaking, photography, video and architecture.
However, several artistic fields such as conceptual art, performing art and textile arts do involve several aspects of visual arts in addition to other types. Also classified as visual arts include applied arts like graphic designs, decorative designs, fashion designs as well as industrial designs. Therefore, currently, the term visual arts also include crafts, fine arts, ...

In “Young Goodman Brown,” Nathaniel Hawthorne introduces a strong theme of Puritan religious beliefs. His narrative vehicle for this is Satan who, throughout the story, destroys the protagonist’s faith. “Young Goodman Brown” is of the more well-known stories exploring 17th Century Puritanism and, even on a first read, it is clear why. Hawthorne depicts the chosen situation carefully and convincingly to the reader, not only entertaining them but also informing them as well. Certainly the element of this story that stands out the most dramatically is that of Satan and the means he adopts to manipulate the protagonist. Numerous strategies have ...

First this paper considers the primary motivation throughout the action of the play. Both Oedipus and his wife Jocasta express disbelief regarding the validity of both the oracle; and all oracles, and yet they continually endeavor to prove to themselves that the oracle has no power or influence over their lives. Throughout the action of the play, his obsession with discovering the 'truth', leads the reader to assume that he deep within himself there was some doubt regarding his beliefs, thereby resulting in his continual justification of his perceived beliefs. His search for the 'truth' highlighted his ability to ...

In Camus' "The Guest," Existentialism is king; the desolation and isolation seen in the story is evidence of the emptiness of people's lives without a higher power. In this essay, the environment and mood of the short story will be reviewed as a criticism of Existentialism.

The setting of the short story is the desert region of Algeria; there is nothing in or around Daru's home. Food and water are scarce, and there is no one in any direction to speak of. This provides a unique sense of isolation for Daru, as well as anyone who would be in that situation. "This ...

In Joan Ackermann's short play "Quiet Torrential Sound," two sisters, Claire and Monica, sit down for a lunch while on vacation, after having seen an outdoor performance of Beethoven's Seventh Symphony. Monica talks her sister's ear off while criticizing her, while Claire finally opens up about a sex workshop she took some time ago, in which she began to experience the thrill of orgasm. Throughout the scene, the power relationship between the two sisters changes and shifts, all the while tackling issues of sibling rivalry and sexual liberation.

In the opening conversation, Monica clearly dominates the scene - Claire merely responds ...

"Young Goodman Brown" - Symbolism

In Nathaniel Hawthorne's short story "Young Goodman Brown," the titular character is a pious, faithful man in Salem, Massachusetts who leaves his wife to run a mysterious errand out in the forest.. Along the way, he encounters many different people and situations along the way, eventually resulting in a horrific dream that shows the fallibility of humankind and the ineffectiveness of Christianity. Hawthorne tells the tale of a naive, faithful young man who begins his fall from grace and acknowledging the presence of evil in the world, especially in other people. The story is rife with symbolism, and ...

Shakespeare’s times are historically referred to as the Elizabethan period. During this time, people of different races lived in England and the relations between the English people and foreigners were quite complex. Foreigners were alienated from the mainstream society and this led to their destruction. One of the factors that influenced the complex relations between Englishmen and foreigners is the issue of Skin colour. Race was used to substitute social systems with new social hierarchies created certain attitudes towards the foreigners. This means that Elizabethan England was highly racist and had prejudicial ideologies that led to the formation ...

Introduction

Following a decline, since the mid to late 1990s, in the number of young people smoking, more recent reports have indicated that these numbers are now, once again, beginning to rise. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), figures from a 2005 study indicate that 23% of high school students had smoke in the month prior, which shows an increase from 21.9% in a 2003 study (Family First Aid, 2000-2006). This figure alone is enough to prompt fears that smoking could begin to grip our nation’s youth, irrespective of the amount of anti-smoking education that they are presented ...

The Epistles

The passages in I Corinthians 15:12-34 and I Thessalonians 4:13-18 has some culture and history that brings its self out. First, there is a belief in the death and resurrection of Jesus as the son of God. A certain belief precludes that God exists and is able to raise people from death as he did to Jesus. The practice of baptizing people on behalf of the dead is also a followed culture according to the passages. The people referred to in this are also seen to believe that God will also raise those who fall asleep in that is those who ...

Tom Sawyer is a book that deals with the adventures and misadventures of Tom Sawyer and his friends. Set in a time when religion was being ‘revived’ time and again while slave trade led to an increasing belief in superstition, the book is replete with instances of Tom, his friends as well as the society at large displaying varying degrees of faith and superstitious belief. Tom is a naughty and often defiant boy.

Despite his Aunt Polly’s best efforts, the boy is simply unmanageable. Although this attitude would lead one to believe that Tom would shun any form of social judgment ...

Chapter 24 reinforces, to the reader, the entirety of Paul Farmer’s character. While most doctors probably view their profession as integral to their sense of identity, Farmer appears to value being a doctor as his entire identity. He spends little time with his family, instead spending almost all of his time trying to help his patients. This chapter provides an interesting climax to the character of Farmer. Throughout the book, Kidder portrays him as a man who should be looked up to. However, despite his doubtless heroic attitude towards patients, his attitude towards his family is less desirable. Farmer’s ...

Abstract

Rising rates of recidivism in the United States have developed concerns pertaining to the effectiveness of prisons as correctional facilities. In this study, the focus is to assess the suitability of faith-based correctional methods in promoting inmates reentry into the society. Some discussed methods include Inner change programs, prison chaplaincy, and meditational strategies. Several studies have indicated significant declines in recidivism rates among inmates who participated in these initiates. For example, Duwe & Johnson (2013) found that inmates who engaged in Inner change programs in Minnesota were less likely to be arrested by at least 8% compared to their counterparts ...

There have been cases of corporate scandals in the recent past including the Enron, Tyco, WorldCom, and Global Crossing to name a few. These scandals fueled concerns regarding the financial reporting standards not only in the USA but also in economies where the financial markets tumbled as a consequence of the news of such scandals becoming public. These scandals arose because of weaknesses in internal controls and lack of independence by external auditors. For instance in the Enron, case, the external audit firm known as Arthur Andersen was criticized for lack of independence both in fact and appearance. The ...

Background

The inclusion of learners with special needs is gradually becoming a major concern to various governments (Holt, 2004). With the enactment of the Disability Discrimination act of 1992 and changes in community perceptions towards individuals with disability in Australia, mainstream primary educational institutions have had to prioritize children with disabilities’ inclusion (Forbes, 2007). Holt (2004) gives a social model definition of disability as the disadvantage or restriction of activity resulting from contemporary social organization which takes either little or no account of individuals with physical impairments thereby excluding them from mainstream social activities. Generally, children are considered learning disabled if they ...

Americans express different beliefs in the taboo idea of corporal punishment. Varied opinions exist in light of the said topic. Belief in using and even considering the importance of physical punishment as a method of child discipline has been an impending and resilient method throughout the generations of Americans from since the 17th century to the present. Currently, hundreds of years later, at the forefront of the 21st century, the American positivity on the use of physical punishment has been showing significant signs of decline (Gershoff, 11).
