...place that does not exist. Many interpret Utopia as a standard for an ideal society that would be most desirable to achieve. Lois Lowry is the author of The Giver, a book that can be argued as providing the community as a “Utopia”. Thomas More’s book sets the standard of a Utopia, but many argue that The Giver fits these descriptions. I believe that the community in The Giver is not a true Utopia. The community in The Giver is not a true Utopia, because it has a different geography than what Thomas More’s description described. According to Thomas More’s features of a Utopia, it is an island (pg. 1 Summary of Ideas). In The Giver, Jonas often talks about “land beyond the community”. On page 106 of The Giver online, Jonas mentions that the land beyond the bridge is the same, flat and well ordered land as the community’s, therefore proving that the community can’t be an island. As a rule, a community that isn’t an island could have problems with its borders, so it is not considered a true Utopia....

...In the novel, The Giver by Lois Lowry Jonas experiences develop a theme over the course, The Giver by teaching the reader that freedom comes at a cost. In the text he falls off his bike and scrapes his knee while holding gabe. Although some people may believe freedom doesn’t come at a cost Jonas experiences show otherwise. Freedom is expensive. In the text it states, “Jonas lay awake, tortured by hunger”. Jonas wants freedom but while he is looking he ends up starving, and it also means that while trying to get freedom and you don’t have a plan to buy food then your going to be lost. Another piece of evidence is, “Jonas ankle twisted, and his knees were scraped and raw, blood, seeping through his trousers”. While he looks for freedom he falls...

...Jonas is the main character in the movie, “The Giver”, as well as the book, “The Giver”. He lives in a Utopian society with his Mother, Father, and his little sister Lily. He thinks that he is just like everyone else, but others have noticed he is special. The movie and the book are similar but different in their own way. The movie allows you to see the characters and the buildings, but the book lets you be creative and imagine what the characters look like. The book is also a lot more descriptive than the movie will ever be. Which leads to the fact that, the book is just a tad bit more entertaining than the movie, making it the better one out of the two. In the film, Jonas is rebellious, more rude, and more mature, but, the book is higher...

...individuals come from a diverse background, and they have learning styles and personality traits that vary. It is a hard task to meet each learning style during one project, but individuals need to learn to adapt. For example, a visual learner must learn to adapt to writing notes during a lecture. In this paper I will develop strategies to help me, as a logical learner/thinker, communicate and collaborate well with other learning/personality styles. The Visual Learner The learning style assessment states that I am a logical learner; this means that I like to brainstorm ideas and create an outline. Being in an online class, I would be able to create an outline of ideas that the team members have come up with and post them on the computer for everyone to see. Individuals are able to post questions and responses on the computer; this is a strategy that will help visual learners keep up with what is going on. The Kinesthetic Learner A kinesthetic learner must be able to work everything through hands-on experience. I believe allowing this learner to be the one to type up the final version for an assignment would be beneficial. This will allow the individual to read the final paper while typing it up; therefore gaining knowledge from hands-on experience. The Interpersonal Learner This learner will definitely benefit from being in a learning team. The individual will be able to bounce ideas off other members, and then an individual with an organizer personality would be able to...

...Communication and Collaboration Strategy Paper Gen/200 Communication and Collaboration Strategy Paper Communication plays a very important role in our life. If one were not able to communicate effectively, it would be very difficult for them interact with others, learn, and express their feelings. One of the bigger challenges one may face, is how big of a role personality styles play when it comes to communicating to a group of people. A few of the personality types that will be covered in this material include: giver, thinker, and organizer. Also covered will be the following learning styles: verbal linguistic, intrapersonal, and personal (Axia, 2007). The success of a team environment is determined by the ability of these styles being able to work together. Verbal-linguistic individuals usually love learning new languages, reading, and writing. They are usually very effective at being able to communicate through speech, and are very good at teaching others and explaining things. They are usually best taught through lectures, writing, and reading. A person who possesses interpersonal intelligence, are usually good at relating to and understanding the views of others. They usually communicate well to others in a group setting, and like to ask lots of questions. These individuals enjoy the feedback that they get from questions, and learn easily in a group environment. The final intelligence I will cover is intrapersonal. Intrapersonal individuals in a lot of ways...

...The Summary Paper Legal/Ethics Issues In The Health Care Business BUS670 Rhunda Mitchell Instructor Little 10/24/11 More than any other industry, it is in the healthcare business that ethics are of utmost importance. This is because, people in this industry deal with such situations and circumstances, everyday, which have a direct bearing on another person's life. In this paper one will discuss the ethical/legal issues which are faced by the healthcare industry as a nurse, and ethical issues in healthcare, pertaining to both management and medical research and give suggestion on how to handle each situation in hand. Ethical/ Legal Issues as A Nurse: Nurses are subject to a wide range of legal, ethical and professional duties which can be very challenging. These duties are generally considered to be to respect a patient’s confidentiality and autonomy and to recognize the duty of care that is owed to all patients. As a nurse their duties have to be always professional, because there are legal implications if these duties are breached. They also must consider when it is okay as a nurse to breach these duties and therefore ethical issues arise. Ethics is a set of moral and practical guideline that influences nursing decisions big and small. One of the main priorities of a nurse is to advocate for their patients a nurse expresses and defends the cause of their patient, nurses are expected to protect their patients’ rights. Patients’ rights can vary from...

...Reflection Paper One Advanced practice nursing (APN) can be loosely defined as an area of nursing in which nurses are required to practice at an advanced level in a specific area of interest. APN extends the boundaries of nursing’s scope of practice and contributes to nursing knowledge, and the development of the profession (Canadian Nurses Association, 2008). In order to become an APN, the nurse must obtain a master’s or doctoral degree from an accredited university in an area of concentration designated for advanced practice nursing. According to Joel (2009), there are currently four major groups of APNs: certified registered nurse anesthetist, certified nurse midwives, clinical nurse specialists, and nurse practitioners. APN focus on critical thinking, educating the public, diagnosing and treating illnesses, and prescribing medications to name a few. This paper will discuss the future of the nurse practitioner and how I, as a future adult-gerontology primary care nurse practitioner, will advocate for my patient population. Philosophy and Beliefs of Nurse Practitioners Due to the fact that nurse practitioner is a branch of advanced practice nursing, the two professions often share many of the same philosophic beliefs. The overall philosophy of both professions is centered on four key concepts of person, society, health and nursing; whereas, the core philosophy for nurse practitioners is that of individualized care where focus is on patients’ conditions, as well as, the...

...Foster care is an arrangement where a minor is placed under the care of a group home, ward or private home that has been certified by the government. There have been concerns that foster care services has inadequately delivered a high-quality of care for minors, and after so much criticism society has questioned the future reliability of foster care services. Much criticism has been directed toward the inadequacy of key requirements which has in turn undermined the success of foster care. The foster care system has been facing problems relating to finances, little or no training to the care givers, and inadequate access to respite are (Reinhard, Gien, Petlick, & Bemis, 2008). In addition, the children under this care achieve little in their education and development is below average. The aim of this paper is to analyze the inadequacies facing the foster care system, the effect these inadequacies have on children and adolescents in foster care, and theories coined for explaining these problems....

...it can be considered a right. This argument’s corollary is that, given that we cannot touch without being touched, appropriate touch normally is and should be a source of pleasure to both giver and receiver. The proposed paper will respond to these theses with a caution: contemporary literature on child sexual abuse points out that abusers of children also, and especially, profess to embrace these beliefs. Neither a simple boundary distinction (do not touch particular persons in particular places) nor a test for intent (do not intend to harm or violate) adequately responds to the challenge posed by this fact. Thus it will argue that an adequate Christian ethic of touch depends on the possibility of developing powerful psychological and theological distinctions between nurturing and violating touch. The psychological prong of this argument will draw upon extensive contemporary research on child sexual abuse to argue that abusers either pursue an imagined egalitarian mutual love with their victims or use abuse to gain a sense of empowerment over them. In theological terms the root problems are a mis-labeling of the object of love (the good the lover desires); of the object’s true needs (the gift the lover offers); and of the union with the beloved (the character of mutual delight). The paper will argue that, theologically, “good touch” is a matter of rightly-ordered love and that a critical, feminist retrieval of love theology yields categories and distinctions that begin to...

...8, 2016 Introduction Stewardship and giving are difficult subjects to address. However, Scripture is full of instructions concerning stewardship and giving. In the Old Testament there were various types of gifts the people of Israel gave. The tithe was demanded and various other offerings were excepted. With the arrival of Christ some people continue to question how His fulfillment of the law impacts the instructions of the tithe and giving found in the Old Testament. Some will look at the Paul’s teaching to the Corinthians as examples of a new rules for Christian giving. Was it Paul’s goal to abolish the concept of tithing or was he referring to some other form of offering? Using Paul’s instructions to the Corinthians this paper will argue that the New Testament offers new paradigm for giving separate from the Old Testament commandment to tithe. Historical Background Paul writes his second canonical letter to the church at Corinth in response to the report of Titus’ visit. Paul had spent a large portion of his ministry at Corinth, but in recently the relationship between Paul and the church at Corinth had been strained. After his departure from Corinth some problems and conflicts began to arise. In response to this Paul writes his first letter which was non-canonical to the Church at Corinth. During his ministry in Ephesus Paul heard of more difficulty and received a letter from the church in which they sought clarification to his instructions resulting...
