...I think that all health care professionals are required to follow a strict code of ethics. Health care professionals must learn to become responsible and strive to also be responsible to those they work with and for including those in charge, and to everyone else they work with. Most important are the patients, their families and the public at large who depend on health care workers day after day. This includes having respect and making correct approaches to all responsibilities a top priority. (Sarikonda-Woitas & Robinson, 2002). Difficulties and issues as they relate to working through ethics and problems that arise, must be dealt with on a daily basis. This is especially true of nurses who struggle to balance proper practices and the problems between law and ethical principles (Beech, 2007). “Ethics is the branch of philosophy concerned with evaluating human action. It involves the principles of assumption underpinning the way individuals or groups conduct themselves” (Guido, 2010, p. 3). Ethics is sometimes defined as the truthful and decent system at the root of a person (Webster’s dictionary). Ethics is also often defined by people as a type of behavior and attitude as it appears to the way someone should approach their life and their work. Someone's ethics are very personal and as a result all people have different structures by which they interpret their ethical integrity. (Scivicque, 2007). Ethics and individual character consists of a variety of skills including...

...Helping Your Child Develop A Healthy Sense of Self Esteem & How Parents Influence Their Children’s Development Pages: 8 The first article I research is title “ Helping Your Child Develop A Healthy Sense of Self Esteem” this article basically explains a child self-esteem and how parents, teachers, and friends have an important role in how the child perceive their self. Self-esteem is the way an individual perceives herself, her thoughts and feelings about herself and her ability to achieve in ways that are important to her. The article talks about how this self-esteem reflects a child’s own perception and expectations, but also by the perceptions and expectations of important people in their life. This article also talks about some of the characteristics that a child needs to develop or obtain in life. These characteristics are a sense of security, a sense of belonging, a sense of purpose, a sense of personal competence and pride, a sense of trust, a sense of responsibility, a sense of contribution, a sense of making real choices and decisions, a sense of self-discipline and self-control, a sense of encouragement, support and reward, a sense of accepting mistakes and failure, and a sense of family self-esteem. The most important characteristics children depend on are a sense of family self-esteem. A child’s self-esteem development starts within the family and is influenced deeply on the feelings and perceptions that a family has on itself. The second article I research...

...of boys in a gang that is based on a group of friends that depend on each other for different reasons. These reasons include not having a strong family tie, not having parents, and not having a home. This relates to an article written by Amanda Vogt titled “Gangs a Cry for Family” which talks and explains that troubled teens with problems with family go to gangs for a sense of family and belonging. One reason is teens not having a strong relationship with their parents or not having parents. In the book The Outsiders, Johnny didn’t have much of a relationship with both of his parents, because they drank and yelled at him so he went to the gang and found a home to go too. He also found a group of friends that cared for him and wanted him to feel good and have a...

...Perceptions PHI 210 Professor Carter Lauren Vinson Oct. 17, 2012 Human senses come in variety of ways from hearing, seeing, touching, feeling, and tasting. Our senses can also help with thinking and memory as well. When our senses help with our memory and thinking, it can make information accurate, and not false. Likewise, human senses do have its drawbacks. Being sick and tired can clutter human senses. We cannot smell certain things, due to the fact that our noises may be stuffed up because of a cold. Also, when humans are sick, hearing things can be a negative factor as well. Humans may not be able to hear good enough because their body is in a different state of mind, which is by being sick. It can slow down the body, and sometimes human’s body do not cooperate well when being sick. Meanwhile, the accuracy of sensory information is true due to the fact that, when it comes to touching, when someone touches something very cold their senses sends a message through their body to the brain, telling that they should remove their hand or finger. Another factor would be our sense of smell. For example, if someone is cooking in the house and forgot to set a timer for the food being cooked, they can tell when the food is being overcooked; because they will smell or sense a burnt smell throughout the house, letting them know that the food has been overcooked. When it comes to our senses as far as smelling, it can alert us on what may be going on as far as overcooked food...

...Seeing the World With a Sense of Wonder . In Moore’s novel, Wild Comfort, she explains how significant contact with the natural world brings comfort to you and makes you have a sense of wonder. Significant contact with the world is anything from smelling, hearing, seeing, or touching the natural world. Throughout the book Moore has a sense of wonder and adventures off into nature. By interacting with nature, she’s able to make connections to her own life. She makes it clear that nature has a healing power and people should get in contact with it. Moore defines sacred as a “worthy of reverence and awe.” She strongly believes the world we live in is a sacred place. One of Moore’s experiments that she did, “The Happy Basket”, she discovered that “significant contact with the natural world” is a vital key ingredient to happiness. Each day Moore would write down what made her happy. A common thing that made her happy was taking part in the natural world. One of Moore’s happy moments was, “I’m lying on my back under ponderosa trees by Davis Lake…I had gone out to look for birds, but this is better, letting them come to me” (Moore 26). We are fortunate to have nature, but many take that for granted and just go on living their busy lives. Humans today should take a moment to pause and get in significant contact with the natural world. To take time to appreciate their surroundings. They need to see the bigger picture or you don’t know what’s going on. People need to take a step...

...what they are getting themselves into? With the deliberation on what should be taught in a sex education class, many wonder if the abstinence-only programs are working to lower the number of teens that participate in these activities? Paul Weyrich’s article “Abstinence Education Works” and Arthur Caplan’s article “Abstinence-Only Sex Ed Defies Common Sense: Education Policy Spreads Ignorance, Sends Confusing Messages to Teens” both have different viewpoints on abstinence-only sex education. Weyrich claims that having abstinence-only education programs can prevent teen pregnancies and transmissions of sexually transmitted diseases. Research from Texas A&M, show that sex education classes that teach abstinence have significantly lowered sexual activity rates among teens. Studies show that abstinence programs are very beneficial and many ways towards teenagers. The programs teach teens to be safe, prepared, and mature about sex; as well prepare them for when they get married and have sex in the future. Weyrich finishes off strong by restating his main point: the best prevention against STDs and unplanned pregnancies is not having sex before marriage. According to Caplan, STD’s are rapidly spreading among young people, and abstinence-only sex education classes are not needed because teens should be able to make their own decisions. He believes many people, particularly parents, are still indecisive about what should be taught in a sex education class. Sex education lessons vary...

...tradition and continuity is less followed by conservatives now. Traditional conservatives support and defend the idea of tradition and continuity on many different grounds. For example, tradition provides a basis of religious faith that is shaped by God who is the creator of the Earth. This therefore means that traditional institutions provide natural law – tradition is seen as having accumulated wisdom from the past, these institutions and practices has been able to be “tested by time” and therefore they should be preserved for the benefit of those living now and for future generations. This means that society is based on a relationship between those who are living, those who are dead and those who are to be born – the dead always has the upper hand over society as they are the “democracy of the dead” – providing a structure for the present society to follow. Tradition and continuity also delivers a sense of identity for individuals and society as a whole, having established practices and customs that people are able to recognise creates a sense of stability and reassurance. Individuals have a sense of “rootedness”, change would lead to a journey into the unknown that creates insecurity and indecision. This links on with the view of humans beings and their...

...I will be covering information regarding the senses, the reasons for believing in the accuracy of sensory. Identify and describe the factors of sensory data. The roles of memory of the evaluation and interpretation of sensory data. When you touch something hot, your senses send a message to your brain to tell you to move your hand so you won’t be burned. Your sense of smell can also tell you there is danger, when you smell smoke or any foul odor like gas, you can trust your accuracy of that sensory. Your sense work the same with you sight, when you see people talking you can tell if they are having a pleasant conversation. Your sensory also can let you know if the person is having an argument just by their body language and tone. Sometime people could see things different due to health reason. Bizarre disorder can mean you can’t believe you your eyes. Brain damage reveals the visual cortex engineer our perception of the world around us. Robson, 8/28/10.

...In this essay, I will argue that Plato’s suggestion of diminishing families by having the Guardians take away and raise the children of the city is in fact, unjust. The point that Plato is addressing seems unfair to the citizens that reside in the city. It also seems a little unnecessary. First Aristotle critiques Plato’s argument by stating that when children are raised by the community, they will not be taken care of because “what is common to many is taken least care of.”1 Plato’s reasoning behind the Guardians raising children is that it helps the society remain Just. However, Plato does not realize the downfalls of this decision. Such downfalls include citizens wondering whom their ancestors and relatives are as well as a lost sense of family ties and ownership. These types of relationships can help the city grow more than Plato anticipates. Family relationships also help strengthen relationships with friends. Having a family creates a sense of pride and ownership for those in the family. Without a family to look out for, one’s sense of self-worth diminishes. If the city wants to flourish, they must start at the family level. Plato does not realize this. Therefore, he removes the sense of family and property ownership and as a result, the idea of creating a Utopia is nearly impossible. In an egalitarian society, having a family and fellowship promotes gains in society. Self-worth is promoted when individuals have these bonds and a family to provide for. This...

Administrative, Technical, and Physical controls introduce a false sense of security by the indication of what we use to safeguard delicate data and protect individuals’ privacy. Any complex system is prone to inherit a false sense of security. Having a false sense of security is widespread among individuals who own and operate a personal computer within their homes. Nothing is ever really secured. It would be safe to say that something is secured within the terms of information security. [ (Nahn, 2008) ] The idea of purchasing a virus protection suggests that all personal information will be safeguarded and protected, which gives individuals a false sense of security. Additionally, having a false sense of security means that there is...

...Introduction At first thought, logic seemed nothing more than common sense. An initial assumption of logic was that it is something used by everyone, to validate the truth of something. After learning more about logic, there is a more in-depth understanding. Originally, logic was thought to be common sense; a practical judgment and understanding of the matter at hand. The sky is blue. That seems logical because we see the sky is blue. That is a logically true statement that can be validated with the truth. The statement “ the sky is blue “ is common sense, and no-one would debate the color of the sky. So, to me, a comparison between logic and common sense went hand in hand. Logic...

As the day progressed and I began reviewing items on my list and had a feeling of apprehension and sense of daunting task that couldn’t be fulfilled. This emotional state had me feeling flustered and...

...raised to do chores lacked basic household skills; whereas the people raised to do chores did not. The ones who lacked these household skills were at a disadvantage when it came time to living on their own; having to be taught how to do laundry, cook, and clean at the age of 21 was not only difficult for some, but embarrassing as well. I, as well as my brothers, were raised with the notion that chores were essential. Performing chores as children aided us into our adulthood. Chores helped us become better team players, it fostered a sense of discipline and personal responsibility and an understanding of risk/reward, and it also taught us basic life skills to living and surviving on our own. I still believe that chores are a beneficial and important factor in the upbringing of children in our society today. 1. CHORES AID IN BEING A BETTER TEAM PLAYER a. Chores teach children (siblings) to work as a team to speed up the cleaning process. b. They teach single kids to help the burden of cleaning for the parents c. This develops into a teamwork attitude, also beneficial in being a great life partner d. In our house we split chores amongst myself and my 2 little brothers; aiding in building my leadership skills 2.

Claudette having shoes on feet and mouth shut are showing that Claudette is starting to do human-like things instead of having wolf behavior. Claudette and all the rest of the pack are having human instinct from “Physically, we were all easily capable of clearing the low stone walls. Sister Josephine left the wooden gates wide open.”(p.230). Claudette and the pack are capable of an escape from the low walls and the gate left open. They are able to leave and let everything behind and go home at this point, but they have the instinct not to because they don’t want to disappoint their parents.
