Essays on Spiritual.

Genius loci literally means the spirit of a place and it is related to a specific feeling and atmosphere that can be felt only in that place. The reasons are architectural and there is also a mixture of architecture and land where the object was built. Two realms that shape a location - physical and spiritual, and genius loci creates the living experience of a certain place. This spirit goes into another sphere which can only be felt and while an architectural structure has a physical dimension to it, there is also the dimension that surpasses the specific time ...

Published in 2000, the article entitled “Biblical Faith Confronting Opposing Spiritual Realities” by Willard M. Swartley discusses the biblical faith regarding the opposing spiritual realities. First, the article focuses on how the biblical faith in the canonical Scripture demonstrates the confrontation with the opposing spiritual powers. Second, how the biblical faith leads the people to confront the opposing spiritual realities. In addition, the article presents the historic practice of the Christian church.

Men commit different types of sins daily. Each sin is justified by the persons who commit the sin. I agree with Gandhi’s “pleasure without sin” as this sin is probably one of the most popular sins that persons commit without even realizing that the actions is morally and ethically wrong and that it goes against the teachings of the Bible. Most persons seek pleasure and are not concerned with how their actions impact on those around them. In fact, persons who immature, selfish, greedy and sensuous are the ones who have sinned as they only seek pleasure because ...

David L. Smith states that Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is the story of slavery and freedom, death and rebirth (to escape from his father, Huck cleverly faked his own death) has not only specific, but also a symbolic meaning. This novel is not only about the legalized slavery of black Americans, but also about the lack of freedom of the white man, enslaved by social conventions and prejudices of the environment, not only about the "revival" of the hero after his supposed death, but also about the actual birth of his personality, which gained emotional breadth. Huck’s and ...

Standards-Based Approach

I was assigned to offer nursing care to a patient with intra-aortic balloon pumping (IABP) that needed a detailed cared. The name of the patient was Jassim, aged 63 years old; diagnosed with post-operative myocardial infarction. The indication for IABP was supported by the presence of acute left ventricular failure post cardiac surgery. The patient had low cardiac output syndrome after cardiac surgery. Having received training on the care of patients with IABP, I was confident that I would provide safe and effective care. However, it turned out to be a little challenging than I had expected. My aim ...

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 ...

Of all Beatles' members, John Lennon seems to be the spiritual source of not only the band itself, but of the entire generations he influenced. Indeed, it is impossible to disregard his skills in songwriting, his philosophical insight, and his unique worldview that proclaimed him as the true idol of his time. The rejection of the way of life and ideals of adult generation, the unreality of happy capitalism, and mostly the spiritual hunger that was imposed on the youth by mass culture that was oriented towards the consumer searching for happy ends rather than solutions to social and ...

(Tutor’s Name)

Indian philosophy is unique for its valuable interpretation of life, soul and rebirth. Doctrines of Bhagavad Gita to a great extent reflect the spiritual insight of Indian philosophy. Gita is also known as Gitopanisad, which is one of the several books of Mahabharata, the great Indian epic. The setting of the Bhagavad Gita is that when Kurukshetra begins (the great battle between Pandavas and Kauravas), the great Pandava warrior Arjuna gets confused with the ethic of fighting against his cousins and relatives. Lord Krishna, his friend and charioteer, clarifies this point to him. Notable one among ...

Prayer Lessons Search Me Psalm (139) We are asking in our prayers for God to take care of us, and we are proclaiming his name because he had found us.

Introduction

Dietrich Bonhoeffer (February 4, 1906 – April 9, 1945) was a Lutheran pastor and theologian in Germany. As the Nazi Party grew in power, he protested against their atrocities and was one of the central founders of the Confessing Church (Metaxas 2010). He wrote The Cost of Discipleship, one of the modern classics when it comes to the role of the Christian in a secular world. He was also well known for his strident opposition to the euthanasia program and the genocide of the Jews, both pet programs of Adolf Hitler. The Gestapo arrested him in the spring of 1943, ...

Introduction

Beowulf, the heroic poem first published in Old English is presently finding a common place in modern media. However, Beowulf is portrayed as one eponymous conqueror who is not only hot headed, but dim-witted as well (Haydock 9). Conversely, in Old English literature, he is depicted as an iconic epitome of social intelligence as well as personal restraint. As much as Beowulf is described as having the power of 30 warriors and crowned on numerous occasions for destroying Herculean monsters, his actions as well as a form of dialogue exhibit both deference and modesty (Allard and Richard 76). In ...

Religious roles in Catholic Catholicism

In the modern Encyclopedia, the Catholic Church has demonstrated dichotomous levels in explaining their understanding of the true son of God, Jesus. Catechism acted as an expose used to how doctrines served in the Catholicism via the provision of sacraments as a source of religious teaching. They are put in question forms so that trainers and believers can use them to know Christ in a spiritual kind of growth. The practice emanated primarily from the Greco-Roman empires. It was some manual with many questions that are answerable via teachings of Christ. It is through such testimonies that the holy ...

The roles of the women during the medieval period were household based. Just like in the middle ages, the women were expected to be good wives and mothers to the children. Around this period, two great women lived. They were Elizabeth Schonau, who lived between c1128-1164, and Aethelthryth. Both women were virgins who dedicated their lives to serving the Lord. Unlike Aethelthryth, Elizabeth remained unmarried all her life. Elizabeth was a German Rhineland who got into the monastery when she was twelve years. She began to have visions in 1152 a time during which she was prone to depression ...

Refugees from Syria

If an evaluation of Syria’s history is made, a lot of public critics have been noticed on the inquiry of Syrian immigrants. The review of different studies on Syrian refugees showed that individuals worldwide were not found to welcome or acknowledge refugees from Syria. There were numerous reasons of people to refuse refugees from Syria; nevertheless some significant elements involve safety, shortage, no advantages and responsibility arguments. The safety opinions include security threat to the Western communities; a good amount of resources, for instance accommodation, currency etc. will be utilized by immigrants, if they are not enough in ...

Introduction

People's belief in God is a very personal experience and they are free to join whatever church that most closely aligns with the individual's choice to practice their religion. Catholics believe that they are the only true church; the Jews believe that the messiah is still coming. And so the list of the nuances of the religions goes on and on. In this paper an attempt will be made to examine the Scientology, Heaven's Gate, and Transcendental Meditation as a method of serving God. The end result is the same in that all hope for eternal salvation. But the ...

Wuthering Heights, the story of Emily Brontë, is one of the most mysterious phenomena in world literature. Mostly overlooked by Brontë's contemporaries, the novel greatly amazed the opponents of academism in literature, and later became one of the best novels in the world. Furthermore, Wuthering Heights reflects the complicated philosophical beliefs of Emily Brontë. The story is peculiar for its image of creation which is a common characteristic of the author's art. What is more, the story is free from orthodox religious orientation. The main characters, Heathcliff and Earnshaw, deny the power of church and the common concepts ...

Question one

A dilemma refers to a situation where an individual finds him/herself in a position where they are supposed to make decisions concerning particular subjects and which in most cases will result in outcomes that may have challenging connotations (Post & Blustein, 2015). The case presented above presents an ethical dilemma in which urgent decisions need to be made to save the life of a 6-year-old child who has been affected by a bout of meningitis. However, there are challenges to the plan of care that is supposed to be given to the child since the parents have got conflicting views ...

Martin Luther King was born on January 15, 1929 in Atlanta (southern Georgia) in the family of the priest of Baptist Church. Despite the fact that it was the period of the Great Depression in America, which led to the fact that 65% of the colored population of Atlanta was forced to receive unemployment benefits, economic difficulties have not affected rich, bourgeois priest family. Martin spent his childhood quite comfortable. Occupation of King Sr. largely determined the life of his son. From an early age, Martin attended a church that was closer than the school and where his father ...

Sherwin Bitsui experimental and daring poem “At Deer Springs” is a fascinating work of lyrical and poetic innovation and dreamlike wordplay:

“Turn signals blink through ice in the skin.Snake dreams uncoil,

burrow into the spine of books.Night spills from cracked eggs.Thin hands vein oars in a canyon bed.We follow deer tracks back to the insertion of her tongue.” The topic with which I choose to examine this poem is the conflict between nature and technology. I understand this topic to include issues as vast as the modern human experience in a globalized world, anxiety at the death of the kind of holistic, natural lifestyle that the Native Americans hold ...

Everyman

“Everyman” is considered to be a morality play of the late 15th century. It is an allegorical play which brings up a point of Christian salvation and what human must do to accomplish it. The premise of the play is that the good as well as evil deeds of a person’s life will be tallied by God after death. It is a storyline of the life of Everyman, who represents by personal example all mankind. Firstly, the Messenger reads a prologue and conveys the audience to pay their attention to the motives and purposes of the play, which ...

Introduction

The commencement and ending of Homer’s epic poem the Iliad depict a rational existence of humans before and after the interference of the immortal beings respectively. The middle passages are different as they present a palpable yet gradual build up of human emotions that warrant an alliance with the gods and goddesses in the text. In turn, a paradox emerges in the depiction of the relationships between the mortals and the immortals in the Homeric poem: the gods are necessary for Homer’s presentation of the humans, but they are also to blame for the unstable attitudes and ...

We would like to analyze the movie “Children of Heaven” (1997) and more precisely the issues, raised in it (IMDb). This film, produced in Iran, is a very thoughtful picture, raising a lot of social and moral issues. If you look at the film from a philosophical point of view and if we dig deep enough, we will see that this movie is about the true moral values, about the sense of responsibility to the family, about a true self-dedication for the sake of the whole family. Here there are raised the questions that everyone, even the kids, must ...

In a Clinical Substance Abuse Setting

In a Clinical Substance Abuse Setting Erik Erikson’s psychosocial theory of development sought to explain the way personality develops. Like Freud, Erikson was certain childhood events shape adult personality. Unlike Freud, however, Erikson argued that development continues throughout the lifespan (Miller, 1983). Working on the foundation laid by Freud, Erikson developed the stage theory wherein the lifespan was divided into eight stages beginning at birth and continuing through late adulthood. Erikson theorized that each stage was defined by a “psychosocial crisis” (Weiten, 2005, p. 302). The first five stages occur through the lifespan through puberty. Each stage must ...

Craig Arnold’s “The Singers” is a contemporary poem which addresses a very poignant topic, namely the destruction of the environment caused by human activities. The poet chooses to focus on a specific aspect of this broad topic, namely the rapid extinction of bird species which is accentuated by the destruction of their environment. The speaker laments the fact that many species of birds are on the verge of extinction, and expresses concern over the disappearance of creativity together with the death of the natural world. The speaker dramatizes this environmental problem by illustrating the loss that humans face ...

Introduction

Social control theories emerged in the early 1900s which questioned why not all humans commit crimes. Unlike the criminology theories that examine why an individual commits criminal activity, the social control theories focus on how certain individuals refrain from it. There were several notable sociologists who expressed their ideas on how the society and its traditions can ensure that an individual will conform to a law-abiding lifestyle. They identified two types of controls in their theories. Informal and formal control. The informal control mechanisms are family, friends, or their individual social circles. The formal control is from the Government ...

Abstract:

St. Elizabeth of Hungary School is a Catholic run academic institution established on September 12, 1958 in Texas. At its inception, the school had a population of 27 students. The teaching was done by Catholic nuns in portable buildings, with the use of traditional writing materials and implements. To transform an academic facility into a center of moral and educational excellence, this calls for skillful direction and management. Such management can only be realized through definite procedures and regulations that effectively steer conduct and safeguard the professional ethics. Subsequently, the school has a definite code of its practice; with ...

In the event of a disaster, there is a general and deep lying impact on the fabric of the community that is affected. This includes the practices, rituals and beliefs of the community all which define the spiritual life of that particular community. These spiritual aspects have a significant meaning on life and are the foundation on which the psychosocial modes of a community are built. In such events of a disaster, people do react differently even within this spiritual perspective (Bryant-Davis & Wong, 2013). Some people will feel as though the meaning of their spiritual beliefs has been lost ...

The art world of the 17th century was dominated by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, who not only challenged contemporary artistic traditions but encouraged innovative interpretation of subjects. He played a significant role in creating the expressive vocabulary of the Baroque style in sculptural and architectural projects. The Ecstasy of Saint Teresa (1647–52) is one of his masterpieces (Gian Lorenzo Bernini 2016). The mystical figure is located at Cornaro Chapel, Rome and recognized as the most sensually charged creation of the artist. The marble ensemble is intensified by the way Bernini has made use of fusion of painting, and sculpture ...

Part 2: Reflection Describe a specific population of clients with whom you hope to work in the future. At-risk teens are a population that is often underestimated and underserved. The at-risk population experiences everything from interferences to challenges to outright obstacles which malign the individual’s social, emotional, and behavioral development—from poor adult and peer relationships and gross lack of adequate role models to maladaptive coping strategies, including low frustration tolerance thresholds, hypersensitivity to failure, impulsivity, and low self-esteem, as well as inadequacies in appropriately expressing emotions and needs. Some of the at-risk teens live in two-parent homes, ...

Theology Expectations

Theology is a new avenue for me. This is not a typical class that is taught in every school. I do think that this class will be more than another set of credits on a transcript. I do believe that there is some very valuable information to be learned from this course and I am ready and willing to go forward. I have always been one to take my spiritual and religious beliefs seriously, but this new approach is already something different and interesting. I have high hopes for this course in the next five weeks. Religion ...

In her article “Compassion: A Concept Analysis” Maria L. Schantz tries to define the concept of compassion. The author provides numerous definitions of this term taken from different sources and various disciplines. She also tries to compare compassion to other close related terms such as sympathy, empathy or care. However, it is clear that the main aim of the article is to define the concept of compassion within the nursing discipline as Schantz believes that it is important to exercise it in everyday nursing practice. First of all, in her article Schantz tries to identify the definition of compassion. ...

Thesis The good indicates one’s understanding of being, in which one halts from evil and incorporates the choices and beliefs that are considered good. It is a predetermined phenomenon in which one individuals try to incorporate good rather than evil in a rationalized manner. It eventually indicates that individuals indulge in the wrong only under the self-denial and unconsciousness towards the extent of good (Partenie and Tom 8). The extent to which one believes in good also accounts for the extent of self-determination which eventually empowers the individual towards new perspectives and laws (Partenie and Tom ...

Mysticism is the feeling of spirituality and a god-like presence in your life. It apparently happens when people least expect to have an encounter with the spirits as they are still living and many only have these feeling at death. This is the thought that many would like to think of to dismiss the notion that ordinary people can have mystical experiences. The notion that only a select few people can have mystical experiences comes in part from the Catholic Church's belief that the saints or a few very select nuns and priest achieve the state of mysticism and ...

Mysticism in religion has a long tradition that dates back to the early shamanism and continues existing and developing for centuries in different cultures. All of the mystical paths have something in common, but still it is difficult to choose one, because there is no easy path to achieve the aim of mystical experience – reaching the gap between the conscious and the divine and finding the heaven on Earth. Every religious path has similar features with the other paths, and I find some elements and ideas in each of them appealing and interesting. Still, the one I found the ...

Brahman, Atman and Maya

What is your understanding about the Relationship between Atman, Brahman, Moksha, Karma, Samsara, and Maya? Brahman is spiritual; pure consciousness, which is the supreme reality, and is indefinable. It is not this, or that, and has no name, and beyond all senses and intellect. It is unborn, and from that nothingness (Nirgunaparabrahman), originates all, and into it all returns. The Atman is the individual living entity, known as a spirit soul. The Brahman and Atman are one in quality, but they differ in quantity. The infinitesimal Atman is overpowered by illusion, which is Maya. The polluted consciousness of the ...

Human growth and development have been studied, analyzed and researched for many centuries. There are several important individuals who have paved the path in understanding the human growth and development.

One theory that will be looked at is psychosocial development theory. This theory was coined by Erik Erikson and the research he performed showed how social interaction builds personality and behavior. He found that ego development is crucial and adolescent ...

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. They need the rules, the ...

Everyone knows that the art is very important in society. Fine art, prose and poetry, music and film improve our everyday life, make it brighter, brings joy and comfort. Yet sometimes there are people who do not agree with this statement. They argue that art is a waste of energy and resources, and areas such as science and industry are truly important since they produce items that necessary for the society. However, this opinion is incorrect, since art in general, and the people involved in it in particular, have a huge impact and significance in society. Our life would ...

It is in my most humble opinion that a mystical experience can be described as any encounter, association or practical experience with some sort of essential or greater power, truth or realm. It can be said that this area of greater truth is outside of the realm of ordinary and/or typical consciousness of oneself. It is to my understanding that a mystical experience can be acquired mainly through deep meditation in direct relation to an individual’s own spiritual discipline. However that is not to say that one whom is not necessarily spiritual or secular, cannot acquire an experience ...

Interviewee’s experience as a patient

Illness can have a devastating effect on a patient in regards to the financial, social, spiritual and emotional sphere (Toombs, 2013). It is a complex phenomenon which can be described as a battlefield for patients since they are fighting for their dear life. This can be an overwhelming experience not only for the patient, but also for the family members, caregivers and to some extend religious leaders. As such, this experience can affect how patients live a normal life during and after treatment since they have to seek medical attention, be away from work, family and adapt a new ...

Copyright, inventive and the like rights are usually called exclusive rights, i.e., absolute legal rights, ...
