Reason for Catholic and Protestant Reformation’ Great Impact on Europe

The Catholic and Protestant Reformation represent the radical, religious, academic and traditional disturbance that traumatized Catholic Europe in the 16th Century. It set in place the notions and opinions that would describe the continent in the contemporary period. In central and northern Europe, activists like John Calvin, and Martin Luther questioned papal power and probed the Catholic Church’s capability to define Christian exercise. Although the movement was predominantly spiritual, the attitude of independence endorsed by Protestantism steered many people to rebel in contradiction of the power of the church and the authoritative monarchs, who relied on their authority ...

How does the story of the Ugly Duckling in chapter four of the Pinkola Estes book relate to your OWN values, beliefs, experience and personal/professional understanding as a caring-healing, ethical nurse working with women? I find the story of the Ugly Duckling intriguing and extremely validating for me. The story stresses on not giving up no matter the situation you find yourself in, rather continue pressing on until you realize your goals (Estes, 1992). The story holds so much for me because it is about the journey of self-discovery. We are currently living in a world inhabited by an ...

Imogene King in her theory of goal attainment stresses on the need for ensuring accuracies regarding the ...

Theories of Religion

The Functionalism theory was coined by Durkheim whereby the theory views religion from a societal platform based on the way it influences the thinking and behaviour of people.

Introduction

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 ...

In “Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings: A Review,” C.S. Lewis famously said: “The value of myth is that it takes all the things you know and restores to them the rich significance which has been hidden by the veil of familiarity” (Lewis). The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, and The Fellowship of the Ring, are two examples of fantasy novels that support this statement. The former tells the story of some children who are evacuated to the countryside, only to discover the land of Narnia in a wardrobe. The book evokes themes such as good vs. ...

Theoretical and Conceptual Models Contributions To Advanced Nursing Practice

Virginia Henderson theory, which she referred to as the Nursing Need Theory emphasizes on the substantiality for patient’s independence right after hospitalization so that the healing progress is not delayed (Barker, 2015).

Globalization is a complex process, the consequences of which cover political and legal, economic and cultural spheres of society.

Health Promoting Behaviors Health promoting behaviors by healthcare professionals could help in promoting the quality of life of people.

Because Plato valued reason and logic above anything else, he would have much to say about the sentence reporting that Louise showed “not a glance of reflection, but rather indicated a suspension of intelligent thought” (Chopin). Plato would probably criticize the author who happened not only to come up with the idea that a human being could cease having accurate and objective understanding of what was going around but also offered this idea to the potential readership. So the sentence under discussion shows underestimation of the crucial importance of understanding the reality properly. Plato would surely state ...
