Written and directed by Ryan Levin, this comical series about a well-renowned hospital and its staff depict the everyday lives of four different characters. In this comical show that allows four friends to comment on their everyday lives about being a doctor, resident intern, and surgeon.

Follow me as I analyze both the good and bad aspects of all four of the characters tell their sides of the story through each others lines. The storyline of many different television shows normally have exactly the same sequence of events. First, the scene is set in a hospital. But as many people do not know, Sacred Heart Hospital is no ordinary hospital. Here, everyone hates everyone in a sarcastic manner. All the employees hate the boss, the chief of medicine; Dr. Bob Kelso because he is some hypocritical, crazed maniac that cannot even once admit that he really needs friends or loves his wife. As for the maintenance staff is concerned, the only person who actually is involved inside the lives of all four friends, the crazed Janitor, known as Janitor, takes all matters into his own hands when he begins his need for chaos with J.D. As for everyone else, they sort of just go along with absolutely everything that happens between the four friends and their crazed adventures. ...

...January, 2015 I did not know that it was possible for me to be three different people while remaining in my own body the whole time. The purpose of this paper is to show the different views people have of one another, and how the relationship between the two people affects how one views another. In this paper I would like to discuss the views of three different people and how the closeness of my relationship with these people affected their view of me and my view of them. In three situations I was viewed differently by three different people that either knew me very well, knew me just enough to be friends, or did not know me at all and were a stranger that I met at a coffee shop minutes earlier. While conducting my research for this paper and getting questionnaires filled out I noticed that the closer of a relationship I had with someone the more accurate were the questionnaire results. For example when I had my significant other fill out the information about me, only one of the answers was something that was in the unknown to me. However when I asked my casual friend to answer a few questions and I did the same about him I found the results to be rather different than either of us expected and not too accurate. When I finally asked a stranger at a coffee shop to answer a few questions about their first impression of me and I did the same about them, the answers surprised both of us as we had never met however the results seemed to be...

...Personal Views on Justice and Ethics What influences the decisions we make? What foundation do we set to govern our choices? These questions surface when looking at the impact personal views have on the decisions made in our society. Many people find that their personal views are formed at an early age and shaped by environment. Views of justice and injustice are individualized across the human population, however there is usually a common, shared idea of justice at a community setting. For example, cultural groups may share a common view towards criminal punishment. It is through these shared ideas that our personal views start to develop with a base. It then becomes a personal journey to expand on this base and to form individualized and critical views on what is believed to be justice, injustice, right, or wrong. My views have been shaped mainly on environmental aspects, which include: family, upbringing, social class, religious affiliation, education, social norms of my generation, and taking bits and pieces of other views from those who I respect. As with many others, my personal views of justice started to develop at an early age with my family and environment. Family plays such a vital role in forming an individual in numerous aspects, especially from a psychological point of view. In fact, psychologist Erik Erikson formulated his psychosocial theory and stages on the conflicts a person experiences in his or her environment and its influences on human development. Keeping...

...Naheed Introduction to Philosophy Mr. Ferguson 13 May 2016 Rene Descartes (1596-1650) was a very important philosopher in the 17th century. Many regard to Descartes as the father of modern philosopher. His famous statement "Cogito ero sum" is widely known and studied. He contributed much to mathematics as well as philosophy. What does my philosopher believe is real? One thing my philosopher believes is real is the certainty of the existence of god. René Descartes has an awareness about god. And acknowledges the existence of god. One of Descartes metaphysics is his certainty about god which is examined in his Fifth Mediations “Descartes holds that the idea of God is a true and immutable nature and hence it is not something that can be rejected at all in so far as it is ultimately an innate idea”. His view is similar like mine regarding the belief of god. Though his process for believing in god is quite different then of mine, we both have a strong belief in god. My View on Rene Descartes metaphysics regarding the existence of god is disagreement. Descartes argues that god exists beyond any doubt, but I disagree. My view is not like his because, I believe his proof of good relies mostly on false premises. Descartes argues that god exists but what is the actuality of god he does not answer. An example of this can be illustrated by a student doubting whether or not they will make a good grade on the test, because it cannot be guaranteed. The truth is doubt does not...

...Log Section 1 - Two reflective entries Reflective entry 1: New Beginnings Deciding to attend university as a mature age student was a decision I did not take lightly. I am working towards furthering my education in order to gain the necessary qualifications that will help me in my future business endeavour. I have found that after so long out of the education system it has been a difficult transition juggling study and work. The first units that were chosen for me in study period 2, I thought were difficult to understand having never written an essay before and without the knowledge or know how, I was not able to complete these units. SSK12 has given me a good understanding of what it takes at becoming a university student and in particular the skills on writing essays. As I have mentioned previously up until study period 2, I had never written an essay and did not fully comprehend how important the set out of a university essay was. Choosing an Essay Question was an important part of my learning in week 6 because this has now given me the beginning step in writing a university essay using the correct format. I am feeling a lot more confident when approaching the subject of essays as I now understand and have the knowledge on the procedure in completing an academic essay and what is required. I now know that by firstly choosing a question will then help you to with your thesis and this in turn will give you your main idea and sets the way in which to write...

...My Ever Changing World View: Growing Along With Me Do you ever stop and take a look at the world around you, (the people, places and events going on)? What do you think about those objects? Have you ever been curious as to where your preconceived notions about those events come from? Those preconceived notions come from your world view. Your world view consists of a set of assumptions about the world and people based on your own personal influences. Your thoughts on everything stem from your world view. Take your parents for example, or the education you received, even where you grew up can influence the way you view the world and the people you come in contact with every day. An important influential aspect of my world view comes from my education. Looking back at the educational influence of my parents, a direct parallel to who I was as a student in my past and the student I have grown into is illustrated. Both my parents were high school graduates. My mother was a book worm who excelled at anything and everything she did. While my father was a social butterfly who got through school with his smile and charm. Much like a double edged sword, I received a little of both academic and social influences from my parents. In grade school, as a child, I went to school in the San Ramon Valley Unified School District and received great educational instruction. Both, middle school and high school were no different in the level of education I received. Sadly, I was unaware of how...

...Culture A Balti proverb says, "The first time you share tea with a Balti, you are a stranger. The second time you take tea, you are an honored guest. The third time you share a cup of tea, you become family,” this helped originate the title for this novel and is a main message that I believe is presented throughout the book by either direct or indirect means. When I first began reading “Three Cups of Tea” by Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin, I had my own personal ideas about the people who practiced Islam and lived in areas of the Middle East similar to the Balti. I never believed that any story would change the perceptions that had become engraved in my mind since a young age and influenced by the harsh activities such as the attacks of 9/11. “Three Cups of Tea” is a story based on Mortenson's experiences in the area near K2 and especially the village of Korphe. The story begins with a failed attempt of reaching the summit of the K2 in order to put his sister’s necklace there to honor her death. However,the journey ends up becoming a bigger accomplishment. This story is the telling of one man’s dedication to build schools and help a group of people who struggle with poverty to become better educated, especially girls who are seen to not be allowed to privileges of education. Throughout the novel, there are different times in which the Balti people show fierce yet hospitable actions and within this essay I will fully discuss my reactions to these numerous examples...

...Deepak Chopra Introduction The person I have chosen as a role model is Deepak Chopra. Through my essay, I will explain the worldview of Deepak Chopra and significance of his worldview in his life. I will compare and contrast Deepak Chopra’s values and actions to my worldview and values. First, I will compare my nature of God view to Deepak Chopra’s view of the nature of God. Second, I will compare my view of sexuality to Deepak Chopra’s view of sexuality. Third, I will compare my money and career views to those of Deepak Chopra. Lastly, I will support an explanation by providing reasons why I believe Deepak Chopra is a perfect role model. Compare/Contrast the Values and Actions of Deepak Chopra with My Worldview and Experiences Nature of God I believe Deepak Chopra has a secular spirituality worldview (Frye, 2013) because he believes God is the creator of the universe who is within each one of us. Deepak Chopra is an endocrinologist who now practices the alternative medicine of Ayurveda, which has its roots as an ancient Indian medicine. Ayurveda medicine is a way of keeping one’s “body, mind, and spirit in perfect equilibrium with nature” (Das, n.d.). Dr. Chopra believes God reveals Himself to us through our spiritual practices and God does not reveal Himself to us solely because we believe (Roff, 2009). After reading about Deepak Chopra and his worldview, I would say that I have beliefs about God that are similar to those of Deepak Chopra. I believe that God is the creator...

...Critical analysis “Be more critical! More analysis needed! That’s what my tutors say about my essays. I’m not really sure what they mean.” “I thought I had written a really good assignment this time. I did so much reading and preparation for it, but my tutor’s feedback is ‘not enough argument.’ I’m not sure what to do now. I mean, I’m not an argumentative person - and I don’t really want to be.” One of the most important skills you will need to learn as a student, whatever your discipline is the ability to think critically and objectively about an issue and to present a well-constructed argument. Critical and analytical-thinking skills such as these will be essential to most aspects of your study, whether you are listening to lectures, contributing to seminars, or reading about your subject. Here, we will be focusing mainly on critical analysis for written work, as nothing gains or loses marks more for most student assignments than the quality of your written argument. Argument here doesn’t mean disagreement or unpleasantness. It simply means presenting a strong case to support a point of view. You don’t have to be an argumentative person to do this: on the contrary, good critical writing means using reasons and evidence to support your stand point. The first rule is: Identify the focus of the assignment Good critical analysis isn’t simply about writing. Before you start any assignment, you need to be clear about your focus. At university, this usually means thinking critically...

...custody. The case is decided in their favor. The child is returned to them, against her will. Does ethics support the law in this case? I’m going to address this dilemma in two ways, Care-based and Ends-based. In my opinion, Care-based ethics supported the law in this case, but only in the favor of the biological parents. I say this because, as an extremely empathetic person, I have crossed paths with people who have had children taken away from them because of drug problems. They weren’t fortunate enough to get their children back, but as a parent I can imagine the sadness, guilt and helplessness these parents had to go through. Being addicted to drugs is not like a light switch, you can’t just stop on a flip of a switch. It takes hard work, belief in one’s self, money, support and perseverance, and even then an addict runs the risk of relapsing. After the parents lost their infant daughter who I believed they loved with all their hearts, the situation gave them the courage, strength and motivation to clean up their lives in hopes of getting their daughter back. For all we know it probably took them many years to get cured and many other years on top of that to go through court proceedings to get their daughter back. However, also on a Care-based point of view, the Judge’s decision was unethical in regards to the foster parents and the 9 year old child because they took this child into their home,...

...When beginning Higher Education, students at University face some unique clashes. According to Bizzell (1986) those three clashes are Clashes of Dialect, Clashes of Discourse and Clashes of worldwide views. For new students who have never encountered University life before, it is said to be a completely different environment, one which can be very intimidating. Students find themselves out of their comfort zone and facing new challenges which can be very overwhelming. Angela Thomas-Jones (2012) stated “beginning your own studies at university requires a culture adjustment in order to succeed. It is a new culture that needs to be given time to adapt to. Becoming familiar with the knowledge, beliefs, attitudes, values and practices of the university culture is the key to successful acculturation”. Some of the reasons why these clashes may have meaning to many students is due to the pressure individual students put on themselves to achieve good grades, be successful and be accepted amongst peers. Throughout my essay I will discuss in detail each of the three clashes outlined by Bizzell (1986). The first clash mentioned by Bizzell (1986) was the Clash of Dialect. This refers to the language being used by students within the university community. The basic writers are those students who experience the greatest distance between their home dialects and Standard English, the preferred dialect in school (Bizzell 1986). The dialect within university is something that students need to adapt...

...Point of View There are three different points of view (also known as perspectives) a writer can use: First Person, Second Person, and Third Person. First Person: Writers using the first person point of view write from their own point of view: “I believe” “I think” “I saw” To understand first person perspective, imagine you are telling your friend about your day. Usually, when you tell someone about your own experiences, you use the first person perspective because it tells the reader what you thought, felt or did. Second Person: Writers using second person point of view write from the reader’s point of view: “You believe” “You think” “You saw” To understand the second person perspective, imagine you are giving a speech to your class- mates about how to bake a cake. Instructions are often given in the second person point of view because it tells the reader what to think, feel, or do. The second person can also be used when a writer is addressing a familiar audience. Third Person: Writers using the third person point of view write from an anonymous observer’s point of view: “He/She believes” “The philosopher thinks” “The witness saw” To understand third person perspective, imagine a camera that views what is going on around it: The camera cannot say, “I think this is good,” or “I think this is bad.” Also, it cannot say, “You think this is good,” or “You think this is bad.” The camera can only show what it records and allows the viewer...

...Leadership Point of View Activity 6.6 Dan Sweeny Indiana Wesleyan MBA Throughout the “Applied Management Concepts” coursework, teachings from Blanchard and Robbins, DeCenzo, and Coulter have been numerous in an effort to explain and portray a leadership point of view, defined by the Blanchard as their “thoughts about leading and motivating people” (Blanchard, 2010). Naturally, this book has examined Blanchard’s leadership point of view, and while it may seem like a model for creating one’s own point of view, everyone will have a different style, even if only slightly. I will examine and determine my leadership point of view in hopes to become more conscious and purposeful in my leadership as I attempt to direct my career through the ranks of hospital management. The text has provided readers with a set of questions to help develop their own leadership point of view. I will examine and respond to each of these inquiries to become more familiar with how I lead. The first question asks what I have learned about leadership from the influencers in my life who have contributed a positive or negative impact, from teachers to family members to bosses. The first person I can think of is my grandfather. He is one of my biggest influencers in any aspect, but certainly in leadership. He has owned a successful pharmacy business for over 55 years, becoming a staple in Dayton, Ohio. His and my grandmother’s work in the...
