...According to Nothing Special: Living Zen by Charlotte Beck, attention means a concentration of the mind on a single object or thought. In the book Nothing Special: Living Zen, a student said to Master Ichu, “Please write for me something of great wisdom.” However, Master Ichu kept repeating “attention.” The student didn’t understand what Master Ichu kept mentioning attention, so Master Ichu said “Attention is attention.” Master Ichu meant to say be focus and be aware of what people are telling you and of what’s around you. Attention is defined as being aware and if we don’t pay attention, we lose focus of that action. My example where paying attention made a huge positive difference in my life is when I attended grief classes. Before I...

Texas A &M University Commerce. * In addition to emotions, children experience physical responses to a loss such as exhaustion, insomnia, headache, stomachaches, and regressive behaviors. * Just like adults children process grief in different and unique ways, there is no right or wrong way to grieve. * Grief work is essential in order for the individual to become actively engaged in their own life again. * Children need adequate information, reassurance, routine, validation, active listening, and adult models to demonstrate mourning behaviors constructively and appropriately. * When a child losses someone in their family they are grieving the loss of the systemic role in the family, the loss of a relationship, loss of an emotional connection and the fear of possibly losing someone else in their family. * May have self-blame, confusion, fear, isolation, or alone * Faced to deal with the changes in their new family systems, adjusting to the remaining parents new way of life may be difficult * SC should build meaningful relationships with the student as well as validate, understand, listen, and normalize their loss when the child is comfortable enough to share with them * You need to meet children and families where they are, support them with patience, compassion...

...‘Moving into the world involves different pathways to new experiences’ could be interpreted in many different ways. In The Story of Tom Brennan by JC Burke, Tom experiences different emotions and situations as he attempts to move into the world when his brother Daniel is involved in a tragic car accident. The image by Image Zoo also shows four different pathways leading into the one tree with branches that lead up into the sky. This picture shows the tree of life and how people can take different paths to experiences. I Measure Every Greif I Meet is a poem by Emily Dickinson that shows the strength a person needs to overcome grief in their lives. The strength comes within the individual and their surroundings. All three of these texts show that moving into the world involves different pathways to new experiences shown through different circumstances, problems and views. The image by Image Zoo reflects the idea that moving into the world involves different pathways. This image uses the rule of thirds and symbolism to bring attention to the four different pathways to the centre tree trunk. The rule of thirds draws central focus to the light coming from the tree. This light symbolises the light that is present through different pathways and journeys. Light symbolises the hope, possibilities that come with moving into the world. Even though each pathway comes to the same centre of light, it branches upwards into different pathways shown at the top of the tree trunk. The tree symbolises...

...Confessions: Spiritual Autobiography of Augustine * But what is he looking for? Truth * Why truth? Why do you prefer truth? (why not untruth; Nietzsche) truth; correspondence between idea and fact. Fittingness of the intellect to a thing. Aquinas- conceives truth as a light (in thy light, we see light) God is truth and God is love. (not an adjective) * Why truth? If you answer that because you believe there’s some purpose, a map, a teleology to your life and truth is about finding that plan and fulfilling your life, is that inadequate for Augustine? Nietzsche? * Existence for Augustine is not a fact, it is an act. * Truth for Augustine is not an abstract relationship between a subject and a predicate, it is real, concrete. Act of existence is a choice, in deed. * Pg. 20: (31) Book III (Carthage) * Love & Lust: Augustine distinguishes it. What’s the difference? Love is about the other, lust is about the self. * How is this similar to the critique of the theater in section 2? * You go see the theater and feel compassionate for the people who are suffering, you feel saintly- that is deception. * Jesus is compassionate to prostitutes but not to Pharisees- why? Deception of feeling good . * Why do we love to weep? Why do we get enjoyment from our own misery? * Section 4, he discovers Cicero. What’s the difference between heaven and hell? It’s your heart rather than mind that fundamentally seeks God, what does Augustine s...

In everyone’s lifetime they will experience the emotion of grief at least once, if not more.

As we both experienced our journey of grief, it was a long road for the both of us. In a person’s life that is grieving it is very difficult for them to see the bright side of things, or in another words to be optimistic. Although Cheryl and I both experienced a very difficult time in our lives, we both handled our situations very differently. “Life is not measured by how many breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.” In saying this, grieve can be one of those moments that take your breath away. It is by choice the way you cope with the cards that have been dealt for you! In the book Wild, the main character Cheryl experiences the death of her mother. Cheryl and her mother were very close all throughout her life, considering that her father was out of the picture at a young age.

...08 Fall Test One, Take Home Test 1,2,3 Jamella Aljumail [JAljumail@mercycollege.edu] Mercy College of Ohio REL 250:01- Death, Dying, and Bereavement Dr. Karen Elliott, C.PP.S. September 15, 2013 Question 1: Chapter 3 discusses the understanding of death in the Native American, African, Mexican, Asian, Celtic, and Hawaiian cultures. Choose ONE of the cultures discussed and state specifically what, in that culture’s understanding of death, is particularly meaningful to you. Explain in detail WHY it is meaningful. Mexican cultures “joked about death and poke fun at it in their art, literature and music”. In early times Aztecs believed in the sacrificial rights. Aztecs believed that a person who was a sacrificial victim was known to be the “divine dead”. Mexicans also believed a way a person lives, that’s the way a person will die. “Tell me how you die and I will tell you who you are” (DeSpelder and Strickland, 2005). Mexicans decorate graves and death is apart of everyday life in the Mexican culture. Mexican cultures have a day to celebrate the dead called El Dia de los Muertos. The celebration begins the evening of November 1st and goes into the next morning. Mexican also believe that “shedding to many tears and excessive grief may make the pathway traveled by the dead slippery” (DeSpelder and Strickland, 2005).

...ENG4U1a More Sinned Against Sin is something that everybody does, no matter how hard it is. “King Lear” by William Shakespeare the play shows how the character chooses to sin, and even sin against the ones they mortally should not sin against. King Lear proclaims that he is “I am a man more sinned against than sinning.” However it seems that does not only suit him, in the play. Many characters in “King Lear” have out done each other in sinning, because of people deceiving one another causing them to see the truth the result for this only ends in suffering. In relation to blindness, decisions and betrayal the result of being mores sinned against lies in the favour of one character Gloucester and Lear have very similar roles in the play, they reflect each other in many different ways. Mistakes were made by both, one more greatly than the other. Gloucester’s first mistake in the play was his trust in Edmund when he discovered the letter to what seems to be his “evil son” Edgar’s plot against him. .Without any further knowledge in this situation and the letter he right away believes that Edmund is being honest and believes the worst in his son Edgar who is actually legitimate, and this causes him to be sinned against. Lear’s mistake was because if his own pride, which is not the first, time his own flaws has come in the way. Lear is blinded from the truth and because of that he exclaims “Let it be so; thy truth then be thy dower; For by the sacred radiance of the sun....

...QUESTION. “The law tampers with the But for test of causation as its peril.” -Lord Brown; Sienkiewicz v Greif (UK) Ltd (2011) The Bust for test of causation is said to be fraught with difficulties. How has the law developed to overcome these difficulties? INTRODUCTION Negligence in the law of tort is the failure to exercise the care that a reasonably straight person would exercise in such like circumstances. In tort law, this area of negligence involves harm caused by carelessness and not by intention. The tort of negligence structures a standout amongst the most element and quickly changing zones of obligation in the present day law. Its rise in the 20th century shows the pressure of the social and economic changes on the traditional ways of legal redress for interference with protected interests. The reasonable structure of carelessness is very adaptable and fit for general application. These components have permitted the courts to use the tort in the setting of novel cases for pay. On the other hand, the development of carelessness has not supported the extension of risk and throughout the years, courts have been putting a few limitations on this degree. The tort of carelessness does not right now appear to be set upon some foreordained way of growth as it once had all the earmarks of being. The modern history of tort law started with the groundbreaking judgment of Lord Atkin in Donoghue v Stevenson where Mrs Donoghue went to a cafe with a friend. The friend...

...(Ralph Hingson, December 2003) Unfortunately statistics show that men have more of a likelihood to drunk drive then women. According to drunk driving stats.org In 2010, men were responsible for four out of every five DUIs. And although only 11% of the adult population is made up of males between the ages of 21 and 34, this high-risk group was responsible for 32% of all drunk driving episodes. A male who drank at least five alcoholic beverages in a short amount of time (or a female who drank at least four) caused 85% of all reported drunk driving incidents. It is a well known fact that driving under any type of mind altering substance or drugs is exteremly dangerous. Accidents including death are all too often the result of the poor decision of driving under the influence. Every day, people are seriously injured and even killed in drunk driving accidents. That’s why, even if it’s a first offense, every state has tough DUI laws and...
