Public image of nurses: past, present, and future

Introduction Undoubtedly, the nursing profession has vital ingredients of accountability and autonomy. Also, it is true to assert that nursing profession demands more responsibilities than before when the main role of a nurse was just to provide comfort and care. In the modern world, a nurse is expected to be an advocate for clients, a manager, and an educator (Drayton & Weston, 2015). However, little attention is drawn towards the assessment of the actual public image and perception of nurses. Nurses seem to dwell in a dual structure of nursing and social worlds.

Edgar Allen Poe wrote “The Raven” in 1945. The poem shows how lost love can lead to depression.

“Oedipus Rex”, “The Glass Menagerie”, “The Angels in America”

The tragedies have always seemed to attract a wide range of audience because of the depth of the emotions revealed there and the turns of events which would be dreadful and inescapable, the complexity of its characters and main issues present in the plays, as well as because of a possibility for the spectators to connect to the events happening on the stage and empathize with the protagonists.

The main purpose of any tragedy, as it is claimed by Aristotle, is based on the notion "catharsis" (Milch), which is a fundamental element in the drama. Catharsis, consequently, as described by Cambridge Dictionary, is considered “the process of releasing strong emotions through a particular activity or experience in a way that helps to understand those emotions”. Thus it was expected from the Aristotelian audience to be feeling a great level of emotional connection towards the actors, greatly empathizing with them – it concerned mainly such feelings as fear and pity. The ultimate aim of this approach was for the ...

There are indeed many things that can be done to solve the problem of Environmental Degradation in Canada. In our lecture, there was a list provided and one included in the list is the removal of leaded fuels and replacing it unleaded gasoline.

It is a dimension in which the angels’ inner knowing and connection to heaven and the celestial worlds is solid, yet their experience of the world and its multidimensional nature is nowhere near ...

Giotto's “Madonna Enthroned” is considered an important milestone in art history as it painted for the Florentine Church of Ognissanti. Painting was still under the influence of the Byzantine style where the figures were two-dimensional, stiff and evoked no emotional involvement.

For the first time, Madonna and the Child are placed in a well-defined space, with Mary sitting on a throne that shows a perspective, thus moving towards realism. She holds the Child as a real mother would do. The folds of the garments drape and ...

Religion is an integral component of human history at different stages of its development. The Muslim Reformation fundamentally different from the Catholic Reformation. “As religious regimes both, Catholicism and Islam, preceded and are likely to outlast the modern world system of nation-states” (Casanova 2).

In Islam church and clergy similar to a ...

Satan's name dates back to the Jewish root “Satan”, which means "to resist "," to be an enemy". In "Paradise Lost" Milton often names Satan “The Enemy” or “Archenemy”. Thus, Satan seizes human consciousness as the enemy of God, so that believers, watching him struggling with God, perceive the grandeur of the latter. Milton’s Satan is not just an Archangel, but the most outstanding military leader, who enjoyed complete trust of God. G. Butler pushes to the idea that Milton’s Satan was influences a lot by “Comedy” and it should be agreed with: Milton received classical education and “ ...

Introduction

Before the Protestant Reformation and the Enlightenment, though, the field of inquiry was completely different than it would be afterward. There was only one religious establishment during that time period, and that establishment had the power of eternal fear over everyone and everything. The fact that the Roman Catholic Church had the power to ban someone not just from church but from any chance of salvation radically altered the calculus of anyone interested in pursuing any sort of intellectual endeavor. Remember, this is the same institution that sought to excommunicate Galileo and Copernicus because of their claims that the ...

For Saussure (67), the linguistic sign is constructed through the relationship of two other notions: the signifier and the signified. The arbitrariness of this relationship is what advertisers take advantage of in subliminally showing a different meaning to their advertisements. The same can be seen in the advertisements for Axe’s Excite and Dove’s Go Sleeveless deodorants. Whereas the former’s Even Angels Will Fall ad conforms to the fantasies that men have regarding their masculinity, Dove’s commercial conforms to the supposed liberation of women by going sleeveless. Advertisers subliminally change this meaning by associating a different ...
