Abstract

A nurse is likely to face different worldviews constantly in their line of work. Such worldviews are often shaped by different religious and cultural beliefs. The question of euthanasia for patients with terminal illnesses lends itself to different worldviews and interpretations. George’s condition of ALS has forced him to consider euthanasia. From, a Christian standpoint, this choice is wrong because only God the Creator has the authority over life and death. Also, Buddhism does not favor euthanasia. The question of the causes of sickness also lends itself to religious interpretation. Christian interpretations are varied. One view is that ...

“What the Church needs to know about the human mind”

Dear X, While science can explain religion, religion is not so well-equipped for the endeavor of explaining scientific facts. Science is well aware of the fact that the human mind evolved to believe in gods and that religion (main religions, that is) has not exactly updated its point of view when it comes to planetary history. It would be easy to explore Dawkins’ perspective and demonstrate religion’s detrimental role in the evolution of the human species in order to update religion regarding its limits. However, I would like to adopt a positive vision and focus on a different ...

On the other hand, the policy statement should not have loopholes that would allow employees to be late, and make flimsy reasons with regards ...

Whether by force of stereotypical perception or the prevalence of such interpretation I the political discourse, people have always perceived racism through the prism of economic and legal mistreatment of black people. However, people can maltreat their own fellow countrymen with skin color other than white by disposing of hazardous toxic waste in immediate proximity to their area of residence. It is disturbing how Americans exploit their own endangering their physical wellbeing. Since coming to surface in the 1980s, the notion of environmental racism has not lost its relevance for what is now 3.5 decades. While some US locations ...

The Buddha considered suffering (dukkha) to be a part of the human condition; this suffering is akin to a sickness. In order to cure the sickness that is part of human suffering, basic Buddhism prescribes the “Four Noble Truths” as a cure (Gethin 163). First, in order to be cured one must accept that life is about suffering. Dukkha (suffering) comes in the form of physical pain as well as mental anguish. Because human life is constantly subject to change and because change causes suffering, the very awareness of life’s instability and impermanence is a constant source of ...

Is this an appropriate reason to become pregnant?

Advance in technology can often raise issues regarding their application in everyday life.

Death or dying is not a bad thing because it is part and parcel of life just like other rites of passage. If it was to be a personal choice many could have opted to live and not die because they do not know how it feels on the other side of existence.

But it is important to understand it from the onset so as to know when and how it can be termed ...

At first, people are eager to accept all these changes and they are full of optimism and enthusiasm. They treat the process of adjusting to a new country as an amazing and adventurous journey. However, sooner or later the situation totally changes. People start to feel as outsiders and start to miss their native land. This period is called cultural shock. As Oberg states, “Culture shock tends to be an occupational disease of people who ...

Abstract

The definition of health and individual well-being vary from person to person due to diversities in religion and culture. Thus, faith philosophy shapes our worldview in regard to health care, suffering and physical wellness. Additionally, pain, suffering, diet, prayers and meditation have different significance to different patients. They influence patients’ attitude towards their physical condition, medication and healing process. For instance, patients may refuse to collaborate with caregivers or take medication since they perceive the health practices, diet or medication are against their religious principles. Therefore, it is vital that healthcare providers have a comprehensive knowledge of different faith ...

Introduction

Healthcare providers encounter patients from different religious backgrounds. Spiritual beliefs and religion play a significant role in the life of a patient but healthcare providers are uncertain about how, when, or where to address religious issues. In the past, providers received training on how to treat a patient. Training on how to relate the patient’s health problem with faith, or cultural belief was not part of the syllabus. Serving patient does not only involve administering medication but also having time for them, helping them in different tasks, and understanding their beliefs and backgrounds. Faith philosophies play a very ...

Death is a natural part of the life cycle, even if it is also the least pleasant part. And depression can often be so bad as to make one wish for that unpleasant end. Biblical figures had to deal with both of these conditions, and often times, the world around them seemed depressing and filled with death. This essay explores the concept of death in a death-filled world within the Biblical text. It also examines dealing with depression in a depressing world.

Answer 1. The alternative work schedule proposed by the human resource director is unlikely yet thought-provoking. Its biggest strength from the firms' perspective is 24*7 operations as the organization required. For example, crew C and B would be working day and night respectively on the Sunday falling in the first week. Likewise, D and A would be working day and night respectively on Monday falling in the same week. The 28 days plan reveals that the plant worked both in days and nights. There is no overlapping and one crew works in one shift only. Also, there is ...

CEA, CUA, and CBA

The cost-effective analysis (CEA) is used for the purpose of calculating the monetary value underpinned by the overall cost of a project. The CEA approach is significantly easy for application and measurement of benefits can be carried out regarding the one-dimensional outcome. However, other important outcomes with adequate potential may be neglected without measuring monetary values (NIH, 2014). Health care research undertakes the use of this approach for the analysis of cost associated with health care interventions entrenched with the factors of lives saved, prevention of illnesses or life years gained. On the other hand, the cost-unit analysis (CUA) ...

Spirituality and Healing

Spirituality permeates so much of our society. It governs our morals, beliefs, and manners of thinking. Much of our personality is shaped from our spiritual views. Our ability to handle situations is also a branch from our tree of spirituality. Each and every person has opinions about the level of control they have over their own life. Some people think there is no God at all. They are more than welcome to feel that way. Others feel like God rules everything and everyone around them. There are people who are extremely religious.

Water scarcity, especially a scarcity of freshwater, is an increasingly disconcerting international issue, especially in Africa. This problem is caused by both natural and anthropological. Scientists primarily fault humans for the trends that are currently taking place, especially in developing areas on the African continent. Population growth, buttressed by unsustainable anthropological activities such as the pollution of freshwater sources as well as environmental exploitation are often viewed as the primary culprits. Demographic shifts including an exponential population growth demands that people use more water for food, the production of commodities, sanitation, different dietary needs, and other domestic uses within ...

Sick role is a sociological concept that is used to explain the social behavior the society expects from both people who are sick and those who are around them. The concept was brought up by a researcher known as Talcott Parsons in the 1950’s (Kim, 2010, p. 14). Since then, a number of scholars have done research and added to the Parson’s work. People have done research on the concept in the society on both the sick and the people directly in contact with them to get their views. There are also criticisms of Parsons’ sick role theory.
