...program will ask the participant a series of questions and then evaluate the answers. Once the test is completed, the program will reveal the type of ethics one possesses. Although, tests results may vary from person to person, most individuals base their ethical views on obligation, results, equity and character. Furthermore, there are some who’s ethical styles are blended, which can put them in two different categories at the same time. This assignment requires that I take the EAI and break down my own personal conclusions of ethical style and perspective. An individual’s code of conduct is directly connected to their own personal ethics. Moreover, personal ethics play an important role in one’s social, spiritual and organizational issues. Personal Summary of EAI My personal conclusion is I view ethics based on character (Williams Institute, 2006). My personal view points are based on personal virtue. I place high regard on honesty, wisdom, justice, personal integrity and benevolence. I try and see the good in everyone until proven otherwise. It is important to me that staying true to your own beliefs is more important than the outcome of any decision. Compassion towards others is paramount, and my ethical attributes include being honorable, transparent, genuine and trustworthy. 3 The category I least connected with was equity. Many people base their ethical...

...Running Head: EXAMINING NURSING: A PERSONAL FRAMEWORK Examining Nursing: A Personal Framework Cortney Airhart The University of Texas at Arlington School of Nursing In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements of N5327 Analysis of Theories in Nursing Ronda Mintz-Binder, DNP, RN March 27, 2012 Examining Nursing Practice: A Personal Framework After graduating nursing school in 2008, I started working as an Operating Room nurse (OR) at a level one trauma center, which specializes in neurosurgery. I now scrub and circulate neurology, urology, ENT (ear, nose and throat), and plastic surgeries. I am also a charge nurse and in charge of orienting new nurses and graduate nurses. The OR is fast paced and challenging. One never knows what is going to come through the doors, but you have to be ready at any given moment, to do anything from removing tonsils to clipping an aneurysm, in a matter of minutes. In the OR, often times the team gets caught up in tasks that need to be performed to get the case going, and sometimes forget that a human being is lying on the table with both physical and emotional needs. That is why, I teach my new graduates and everyone that I precept to act like it is a member of their family lying on the table. Often times just a friendly word or a smile before the patient is put under anesthesia can make a world of difference. If there is time, I also update the family to what is going on in the OR and try to answer any questions...

...My Personal Philosophy Essay People develop and shape their personal philosophy during the whole life. Some circumstances may radically change our views, depending on our age, social status and personal qualities. As for me, at this stage of my life I can’t say it for sure that my personal philosophy is complete and well-shaped. In my research paper I want to express my views on several sides of human life. I’d like to attract attention to such concepts as sense of life and happiness, good and evil, morality and faith in God, love and death, eternal life values, karma and religion. I’ll answer the questions what love and happiness mean for me personally. I understand that the concept of life philosophy is really versatile and it’s hard to express personal views on so many aspects. That’s why my research deals with only those things which are important for me at this stage of my life. If you look at life from different sides for some period of time, and then gather all your thoughts into one picture – that would be your life philosophy. Humans strive to find out and clearly define the sense of their living, and feel unhappy and desperate without it. Each person has his own sense of life and discovers it for himself only. There are people who live their lives without asking what they are living for. Personally I have always been concerned with this question and I think it is important to have at least some slightest peace of sense in life. Sometimes I feel myself broken and empty...

...Using a computer every day can have more negative than positive effects on children. Do you agree or disagree? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience. Essay 1 – High Score – Band 8-9 In today's modern world, computers are an essential part of everyday life. Around the globe, children often use computers from a very young age. Although it is important for children to participate in various well-balanced activities, in my opinion, children who use the computer daily are actually developing a critical skill for future success. The bases for my views are personal, academic, and professional. From a personal point of view, computers are an invaluable resource to help young people explore the world around them. For example, children who use Internet to satisfy their curiosity about diverse topics are already becoming independent learners. No child with a computer is ever bored! By starting early in their lives, children feel totally at ease around computers; they are also able to take advantage of the wide range of services computers provide. From an academic viewpoint, children have no choice but to master this technological invention. For instance, when I was in university, students brought their laptops to class to take notes, do research and exchange information. They wrote assignments, created presentations and developed databases. Children who build early confidence and experience in these abilities are at a distinct...

...or not. The world we live in today has been globalized time and time again. New ideas, religions, cultures, beliefs, identities, and lifestyles have transformed and brought about new beginnings for some, and loss for others. A lot of us though don’t know the real meaning of globalization, in the book Bound Together it once describes it as this, “the process by which the experiences of everyday life, marked by diffusion of commodities and ideas, can foster a standardization of cultural expressions around the world” (Chanda, 2007). I took this as one-day actions can change the whole word, such as expressions, beliefs, authority, identities, and many other minor changes for a person’s life. Who are the globalizers and how long have they been doing this? In my opinion the globalizers can be anyone, but mostly the dominant cultures, and countries are the ones who do the majority of globalizing. A lot of countries don’t have freedom to believe what they wish, speak a certain language, work where they want to work, live with all their family members, and enjoy life. In other parts of the world there is a lot of freedom, you can believe in a god, or no god, you get to choose where you want to live, have a good paying career, live with nice clothes, and things, and most importantly enjoy your life. With these different accommodations, I think there are many different personal identities that arise from it. I will be informing you and sharing my opinion on the personal views, benefits,...

...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...

...Personal worldview inventory Eric Atkinson Grand Canyon University: Spirituality in healthcare HLT-310V May 3, 2015 A Worldview is a unique intangible commitment to ideas that one has about the environment around them and a commitment or fundamental orientation of the heart, that can be expressed as a story or in a set of presupposition (James 2004). For a Christian, God and the Scriptures shape the foundation of, and thus having profound impact on the whole, worldview. To better understand the concept of world view seven basic questions need to be resolved, One: What is prime reality? Prime reality is the most important question and it needs to be answered first. This gives the other six questions boundaries by getting to the heart of how we view our reality or the ultimate reality. The answer to one simple question, do you believe in God? Defines and sets the tone for a worldview. Two: What is the nature of the world around us? This is the idea that we can know both God himself and the word around us as God has an active role in communicating with us allowing us to do so. Three: What is a human being? The Christian understanding is that humans were created in God’s image. Being created in Gods image means we need to look to him for meaning, direction and for purpose. God made humans in his image and gave man dominion/stewardship over all that resides here. Four: What happens at death? This is the point where mortal life ends and one transcends into the spirit kingdom...

...Personal Philosophy Paper Sara Hammel University of Georgia Counseling Theory Theorist who have Influenced Personal Theoretical Orientation As a therapist’s experience base grows, I believe a person’s theoretical orientation will narrow, but will also continue to evolve. The core belief system that a therapist begins with is still there, but the platform that a therapist connects most with eventually becomes a therapist’s model. I am aware that my current orientation is rather eclectic in nature. I find a basic connection with Freud and agree that we do have instincts that are innate to every human (Corey, 2013), in essence we are all animals (Freud, 1961) of sorts. Adler was correct when he expounded on Freud’s work and introduced the idea that we are not solely shaped by our childhood experiences. Frankl, May, and Yalom have led me to the idea that there is no step by step instructional book on how to counsel clients. My experience in the military working with a multitude of different people of various religions, ethnicities, and languages has led to my acknowledgement that we are all different and are motivated and driven by many different things. Each person is different; this is what makes us special. No single solution is perfect for any two people, and there are always different variables involved with each person. Also incorporated into my view of human nature is Perls’s concept that places emphasis on what is being experienced in the here and now as being...

...discusses advances in modern technologies and communications and the affect each have on our democratic society. Sunstein makes reasonable arguments supporting both the positive influences on our nation of these steps forward as well as the detrimental issues they have caused. Though Sunstein does recognize that the modern media is a blessing for society as a whole, he makes the argument that one must be careful with it if the United States wishes to maintain a fair democratic form of government. Cass Sunstein is not wrong to be concerned with the power and changes that the advances in technology, especially the Internet, have caused. However, Sunstein has an overly radical view of what must be done, an unrealistic view of the true good, and how that good outweighs the cons brought by this new digital world. The discussion begins with a firm statement of Sunstein’s concerns about the negative affects of the Internet on the liberal democracy intended by America’s Founding Fathers. His principle concerns are the momentous increase in the availability of personalized filtering and the decrease in general-interest intermediaries such as national newspapers and news networks. Both of these concerns are plausible ones, for they truly have changed the way democracy functions and the way that ideas flow in the United States. Filtering today is different than it used to be in the past. Before the Internet and the miraculous capabilities that it introduced, filtering was mostly...

...Personal Worldview Angelica Juarez Professor Reverend Richard Hudock HLT 310v July 3, 2015 In order for a person to truly understand and be able to apply the various concepts regarding worldviews as it applies to pluralism, scientism, and postmodernism it will take a very thorough study of each. At a basic level one needs to understand one’s personal worldview and be in mental, emotional and spiritual accordance with the view. In the end a personal worldview is exactly that “personal.” A personal worldview should be established and founded on a firm belief and foundation of what is important to one as a person, and not faltered by how others may perceive or reject it. Whether a person’s worldview is composed of a firm belief in God and religion, or science and postmodernism it should be most importantly composed of that which drives the person to do what he or she does, and guide them through and support their values and beliefs without being something that is being pushed or forced on another person. Prime Reality Prime reality is based on what is of first importance to one and reality is what one sees as being true and real. My personal prime reality is that is that I believe in God, The Son and The Holy spirit. My worldview of prime reality is based from a Catholic point of view. One in which “God is the Creator and Sustainer, sovereign Lord of the Universe.” (Shelly and Miller, 2006) My firm belief that God and his presence in my life is prime, is reaffirmed by...

...Materiality Application From the view of Personal Style Inventory Materiality Application Sayraban Ganu NORTH WOOD UNIVERSITY Abstract Information is material if its omission or misstatement could influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial statements which indicate the health of the company. Materiality therefore relates to the significance of transactions, balances and errors contained in the financial statements. Materiality defines the threshold or cutoff point after which financial information becomes relevant to the decision making needs of the users. Information contained in the financial statements must therefore be complete in all material respects in order for them to present a true and fair view of the affairs of the entity. According to Securities and Exchanges Commission website: STAFF ACCOUNTING BULLETIN NO. 99 (http://www.sec.gov/interps/account/sab99.htm#foot1): During the course of preparing or auditing year-end financial statements, financial management or the registrant's independent auditor becomes aware of misstatements in a registrant's financial statements. When combined, the misstatements result in a 4% overstatement of net income and a $.02 (4%) overstatement of earnings per share. Because no item in the registrant's consolidated financial statements is misstated by more than 5%, management and the independent auditor conclude that the deviation from generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") is immaterial...

...Describe your personal view on algebra being a requirement for your degree program. How do you feel about being forced to take math? My personal view on algebra is that it has never been one of my favorite subjects because I could never catch on to it because all of the letters that are mixed into it makes me confused. I don’t feel that I am being forced to take algebra, but when I found out that it was one of the subjects that are required in my degree program, I was a little hesitant to start school. I made my mind up to come back and face my fear of this subject because I felt that if I could overcome the loss of my grandmother, then I could succeed in algebra. Mathematics is part of the liberal arts curriculum, as well as the curriculum for any STEM field. Describe what you think of when you hear the phrase “liberal arts.” What about “STEM?”...
