The teacher is the most emblematic in the transmission perspective. Johnson (1) explains that in this perspective, the teacher is viewed as the dispenser of knowledge and the final person to evaluate learning. Although most teachers use the lecture technique, they are bound to use different perspectives apart from transmissions such as transaction, and transformation perspectives (Johnson 1). Most teachers who do not embrace the transmission perspective also use the lecture technique in order to avail facts to their students. Transmission teachers believe that tests are the ultimate measure of the earning of the students. Teachers who use this ...

William Shakespeare’s “Sonnet 73” is one of his easiest to read and, simultaneously, one of his most interesting poems. It covers several themes but the main theme is of aging, and the passing of time. The unhappy speaker muses about his impeding old age, and how this reminds him about the importance of love. Shakespeare uses many literary and stylistic devices to convey and enhance this theme. As the title suggests, the poem is in Shakespearian sonnet form, with fourteen lines and a rhyming scheme. The speaker and setting are inextricably linked and are central to the poem. ...

Education without practicality ends at nothingness. Students may need to engage in activities that emphasize the theories and concepts learnt in class. A research by ID Tech Camps reveals that VEX robotics enables the testing of knowledge through designing, programming and building (2016). Moreover, science and technology are two cornerstones of education as well as development. This paper will focus on the basic details of my forthcoming project concerning the VEX robotics, which will allow students to apply their class knowledge in coming up with creative designs alongside generating more experience. Moreover, the project will include Innovation Diffusion Theory ( ...

The general population of the United States quickly turns into being progressively diverse; on the other hand, the nursing occupation fails to do so. As a result, there appears to be an increased focus on the promotion of not only cultural competence but the multiplicity and variety in the framework of the nursing care as well. In spite of the fact that culture and diversity are extensively debated in the nursing training, the matter of racial discrimination might be evaded or even ignored at all. Institutionalized racial discrimination in the framework of the nursing training has to be recognized ...

Normalization is a technique mostly applied when the organization of tables in the database is necessary. One of its main objectives is to eliminate redundancy in the tables and ensure correctness of the anomalies in the insertion, updating and deleting of data from the tables. The process also ensures that the data dependency shared throughout a database makes sense and is logical. Once the process of normalization occurs, then it becomes very easy to update and delete records without necessarily worrying that any data might be lost (Kanade, Gopal, & Kanade, 2014). The process improves the design of the database ...

The article “Feminism, Foucault, and Subjects of Power and Freedom” by Jana Sawicki focuses on Foucault’s research and his ideas regarding feminism that he was promoting during his academic career. Sawicki discusses the different ways of resistance that were promoted by Foucault, and how modern feminists are incorporating them in their political work. While Foucault’s masculinity was not favored by others during his career, his methods were still seen to be very useful. Sawicki divided her article into three parts: Introduction, “Feminism and Foucault: Critique, Convergence and Possibility” and “The Late Foucault on Subjectivity, Power, and Freedom”. ...

1) Theories are to concepts as hypotheses are to variables. Hypotheses depend on tests that suggest multiple variables. On the other hand, theories are made up of concepts ("Theory and Practice of Social Research" 4). 2) Does a hypothesis propose a relationship between dimensions or variables? Yes. A hypothesis depends on the link that exists between two or several variables. Whereby, a slight change in variable ‘A,' leads to a change in variable ‘B.' In this case, it can be almost predictable that if the first event occurs on the first variable, then we expect variable ‘B' to ...

Since the dawn of our human civilization, people have been trying to find the most effective way of building their behavior. Historically, the patterns of people’s activity have been directly connected to the society itself. Therefore, the social and political utility of the human operations is one of the determining factors. As a result, the behavior of the community, formed by the patterns of personalities, has become an extremely complex system of reasons and consequence. Hannah Arendt addresses the topic of the human being’s behavior in the context of the political history. The Human Condition is her ...

In order for people to understand others, it is important for them to first understand and know themselves. How others treat and perceive us is often a reflection of how we treat and see ourselves. Each person in this world has their own unique sense of self, because it is through people’s experiences that they begin to discover and establish their own perception of themselves. At first, the concepts of “I” and “Me” may seem similar, but George Herbert Mead’s discussion has shed light on how these two concepts differ in the context of the society. The ...

Abstract

Some theories focus on explaining developmental changes that happen to humans. The Social Cognitive Theory represents one of the many theories of psychology that explain human behavior. The theory was introduced by Miller and Dollard in 1941 and later advanced by Bandura and Walters in 1963. The main concepts of the theory are personal, behavioral, and environmental factors. Other concepts including self-control and efficacy, observational learning, and many others help in understanding the interaction between the environment, person, and behavior. On the other hand, the theory operates on five assumptions that relate the theory to learning, language self-control, and ...

IAS37: CURRENT ISSUES IN FINANCIAL REPORTING

IAS37: Current Issues in Financial Reporting Introduction Since the publication of IAS 37, it provides explicit directions for companies to recognize provision, contingent liability and contingent assets. IAS 37 undermines the traditional accounting concepts of prudence hence leading to considerable volatility in companies earning reports. The IAS 37 helps in disclosing the transaction incurred in an organization that is associated with liabilities. In the IAS 37 standard, the word “probable” has been adversely used and hence providing options of creative accounting essential for companies to recognize its provision on balance sheet. Before the amendment of current IAS 37, the ...

1. Review chapter three "Science and Fuzzy Objects" and lecture notes on key theoretical perspectives in sociology.

The main objective of any health care system is to provide patient care with desirable patient outcomes. Simply put, a health care system strives to promote well-being and heath status of all human beings. It is also important to note that most aspects of the healthcare focus on prevention and management of pain among patients because freedom from pain is an essential dimension of health. Additionally, pain among patients is a multidimensional phenomenon that requires a broad, integrated and a comprehensive care model (Glare et al., 2014). Many studies that have been carried out by various scholars on health ...

Governance and public management

In the end of the previous century sociologists used to claim that the public management field сould be hardly recognized by comparison with the classic perceptions, elaborated by Max Weber and Ferdinand Toennies (McLaughlin et al, 2002, p.5). While in the 19th and the largest part of the 20th century public administration was primarily associated with hierarchical organizations, governed by strong leaders, the end of the 20th century is characterized by the rising neutrality of civil servants and flattening structures. Moreover, the era of the Internet brought about the complex connections between the government, companies and NGOs that serve ...

Introduction

The desire to conform to the norms is what makes the foundation of a civilized society. Social order, for instance, is a desired attribute that is founded on established written and unwritten rules that are being observed by most people within a society. Deviation from these established rules is considered as undesirable and people who deviate are considered as having abnormal qualities or malfunctioning (Merton, 2002, p. 672). There are instances, however, wherein some people are observed to deviate from the standard pattern of human behavior. This deviation has captured the interest of many social scientists and have been ...

The reason for my topic selection

The case study is very important and synonymous with the course – human resource development and some concepts of leadership. It has a whole lot of connotations which have to be explained and understood. Human resource has to be developed because this is what constitutes an organization. In fact, we can see the whole of humanity to be a significant resource of skills and talents that are just waiting to be tapped, trained and managed. Training and development of individuals must fit with organization’s goals and objectives. This case study will greatly improve my knowledge of leadership and human ...

This type of learning facilitates education involving direct participation in real life events and settings. It also involves the formation of abstract concepts, reflection and observation, and concrete experience besides concrete experience, reflection ...

Nursing Theory Analysis Paper

Many researchers globally have researched on the discipline of nursing and developed some theories aimed at explaining some health care phenomenon. Theories of nursing play a critical role in influencing the outcome of different areas of practice including research, education, administration, and nursing informatics. Nursing theories fall under the mid-range theory or grand theory classifications. The analysis below discusses the theory of Transcultural Nursing by Madeleine Leininger that falls under the mid-range category of nursing theories.

Analysis of the Transcultural Nursing Theory

Background Leininger is well-recognized psychiatric and mental health professionals of the 1950s. Earned her first diploma in nursing in 1948, advanced to a ...

There are some approaches to natural law. The first conception assumes that it exists independently and does not need to be recognized, found by anyone or declared. On the other side, the positive law has to be approved according to certain procedural standards. The positive law is limited, while the natural law of God or of Reason is limitless and universal (Silving 477). In other words, they are of different origin and have different power and procedure of adoption. These concepts fit into my understanding of the role of law in the community. Thus, it is well-known that there ...

The chosen theorist is Dorothea Orem, who was born in 1914 and died in 2007. She started her career after earning a diploma at Providence Hospital in Washington DC. In the start of her career, she worked as a nurse staff and then she became a nurse educator as well as administrator and nurse consultant. Also, with the help of her experiences, degree of doctorate level, she successfully introduced her general theory of nursing related to self-care, self-care deficit, and nursing system. However, the main focus of Orem was on self-care theory. Orem has defined four meta-paradigm concepts in ...

Success and achievement of the dreams and goals do not tend to come by accident, but rather as a result of great efforts and strong determination. The starting point to self-realization and personal fulfillment is by no means self-awareness, understanding of personal values, strength, and weaknesses, as well as identifying one's passions and interests in a certain professional field, on the basis of which certain goals are defined and set. Thereby considering one's life as a project and reflecting on some core issues in self-management is by far essential activity for anyone who strives to advance in one's life ...

Introduction

The theory was developed with the aim of improving the quality of nursing and health care services. The concept of theory helps in creating different approaches to health care in various phenomena. The theory is applied by nurses in guiding and improving health care practices even though it must be consistent under validated principles and laws. Therefore, the paper elaborates on Orem’s self-care theory basing on its assumptions, concepts, clarity and application in nursing professionalism.

Evaluation of Orem's Self-care Theory

The theory assumptions include; Everyone is supposed to become reliant and responsible for themselves and taking care of their family members. The Orem’ ...

Accounting Standard Setting under the Australian Conceptual Framework and Application in Business Practices

Introduction A conceptual framework establishes the concepts and provides the guidelines that underlie financial reporting. As a coherent system of notions that flow from an objective, which in turn serve to identify the purpose of financial reporting, a conceptual framework also provides guidance on the identification of the boundaries of financial reporting. Its concepts further provide guidance on the selection of transactions, related events, and circumstances to be presented, and how such elements should be summarized and ultimately reported (Financial Accounting Standards Board [FASB], 2008). One such conceptual ...

My Friend

I have a friend back in my homeland who I talk to, almost every week, through Facebook Chat. She is my childhood friend. We grew up in the same street.

My friend is one year younger to me, so I am a little protective of her. Unfortunately, I needed to leave our homeland and settle here to study. So, in order to make sure that our ...

Humanity has developed and flourished over the span of centuries. As civilizations grew and develop, humans learn many things about nature. Ancient people realized the benefits of nature to humanity and began using it for hunting food, acquiring resources to build homes and to protect them from numerous threats from the environment. As humans learned other benefits of nature, they started to interfere with the environment and greatly change the way it was used. People started to change the structures of land and to remove trees from the forest in order to build farm lands and cities. People continue ...

Introduction

The word culture has been commonly used in the current society. However, it is worth noting its true definition. Biagetti & Lugli (2014) asserts that if one made an inquiry of its meaning from anthropologists whose sole responsibility is studying culture, then it is common knowledge that he would receive a variety of answers from them. Despite the different definitions, most of them put emphasis on same aspects. For this discussion, therefore, the definition of culture will be given. Also, the article will provide its five primary characteristics, and the overview of the physical geography, military conflict and its impact ...

Abstract

Introduction Nursing practice recognizes altruism through various interventions such as understanding different beliefs and cultures, advocating for vulnerable patients, taking risks on behalf of other workers and patients and mentoring other professionals. In altruism, interpersonal factors such as respect and compassion are considered virtues that cultivate a caring attitude towards others. As such, some people feel that altruism usually places heavy demands on the nurses’ self-sacrifice, thus overlooking the challenges that these nurses face while in practice especially with acute-care settings and psychiatric situations. In this regard, it means that master’s prepared nurses have a role to play ...

Abstract

Computational complexity was introduced and developed by Hartmanis and Stearns in order to provide methods in measuring the degree of complexity or difficulty of computational problems or functions as well as to measure the efficiency of algorithms. It was developed through understanding of numerous complex problems and analysis of the issues within these problems. The history of the subject of computational history started with the theoretical computational model or a machine developed by Alan Turing in during the 1930s. In his paper, he convinced the scientific community that developing an effective algorithm is possible. The Turing machine paved way ...

It is in the public domain that China, for a long time now, has been both a patrilineal and also a patriarchal society. It puts a greater emphasis on the significance of a family setup and the hierarchy that exists in it. The superiority of the male gender, on one hand, and the inferiority of the female gender, on the other hand, have been concepts that are deeply rooted in this community’s culture for almost two thousand years. These aspects are magnificent in numerous aspects of the Chinese social life. Women in this society, as a result, have ...

Nursing theories provide a foundation for the development of individuals’ personal philosophies of care, work ethic, and one’s behavior and treatment of patients.This paper will focus on two nursing theories, authors’ backgrounds, and their interaction with the four concepts of nursing, people (patient), health, environment, and nursing.

Science of Unitary of Human Beings

This theory explains the four metaparadigm concepts of nursing as follows: Person/Patient- This is an individual that possesses his/her own integrity and is unified whole possessing different characteristics that are a sum of his/her individual parts.

Environment- this is a non-linear field that interacts with patients and which is integral in human interactions.

Health- This is an expression or manifestation of the life process. As such, it is ...

Personal philosophy of nursing

The process of providing care to patients plays a significant role in seeing to it that such persons have been restored to their original state of health. As such, nurses are tasked with ensuring that they take the center stage in overseeing the provision of such services. The philosophy which an individual nurse holds regarding care provision acts as a compass which guides their beliefs and ethical stands regarding the way nursing activities need to be done. In ensuring that I have a better understanding of my nursing philosophy, it is imperative that that the meaning of nursing be ...

In this paper, we will explore the psychological impacts of two human-made disasters. One that happened during the First World War, and the other one is a recent terrorist attack in Paris, in 2015. The Lusitania Disaster was an attack from the German army to a British ship liner coming from New York to Liverpool, UK. The terrorist attack in Paris however was not a war attack, so people were not expecting anything as such. However, it can be argued that we are on a war today, that begun by several attacks of radical Islamic groups against the West. ...

There are several reasons why the annual Burning Man festival is unique among mass gatherings. Held in the Black Rock section of America’s Great Basin desert in Nevada, Burning Man’s 70,000 participants construct a city that houses—and in itself functions as—a participatory performing arts space, a communal spiritual retreat, and a cathartic experience of radical self-expression (Brill 2007). Then, one week later, they tear it all down, pack everything out, and leave no trace behind. It is an anti-market event (Cesewski & Giles 2007) whose participants rely on gift-giving and barter to secure any necessities ...

The article focusses on evaluating Dr. Patricia Benner’s seminal work. In her works, Dr. Benner coins the concepts of development of skills and insight concerning patient care by expert nurses through educational foundation and long term experiences. She argues that experience as well as mastery gained through training and education play a great role in moving nurses from novices to experts (Altmann, 2007). Nurses can acquire knowledge and skills, which she describes as “knowing how” without having to learn the theory “knowing why” (Altmann, 2007). The other unique concept that Benner describes in her theory is the connection ...
