In her article, “‘My veil does not go with my jeans’: veiling, fundamentalism, education and women’s agency in Northern Cameroon”, Jose van Santen (2010) outlines the impacts of Islamization of West Africa on gender by sharing her mentoring experiences with Maimouna, a girl who grew up being subjected to the Islamic fundamentalists in Cameroon. The story takes us on a journey through Maimouna’s childhood, where we meet her Islamic parents who, by all respects, are very lenient and let her follow her own path. Maimouna is drawn by the potential knowledge she can gain by going ...

- The introduction of the essay seems too rhetorical to be interesting. It is also too wordy at the expense of clarity. The author should consider using simpler language that readers will be able to relate to.
- The thesis statement is quite clear – the youngest child is ‘luckier’ than the oldest in a family’. The author has repeated it twice within the paragraph. However, the introduction does not include a summary of supporting facts, other than the author’s personal experience, to back the thesis.
- Although the author does not explicitly state the purpose of ...

This usually comes in various forms in the nursing workplace. There are bullying such as the physical, verbal, and sexual bullying in nursing workplace.

Years back, while at the age of eight, I went through a tough experience that still lingers in my mind today. These events took place on the beaches along the Pacific coast where I almost drowned. It occurred during my family’s vacation when my parents decided that we should spend time at the coast together. At the beach, the waters seemed calm. Without my parents’ permission or watch, I decided to venture deeper into the continental shelf. Suddenly, a huge wave appeared from nowhere, swept me off balance and its backwash dragged me further into the deeper ...

The importance of the building's design and maintenance to a positive guest experience
In hospitality industry, having appropriate building design and maintenance would help the organization when it comes to providing positive guest experiences. The impressions of the guests may be established upon seeing the building’s physical appearance. These factors also provide a good experience that the guests will expect upon noticing these two factors. Roedel (n.d.) says that when it comes to hotel maintenance, there are four major areas that will help in increasing the hotel’s value. These values are in relation with the actual building’s ...

. Published in 1844, Ralph Waldo Emerson’s “Experience” explores the plethora of unanswered questions and ample confusion that occurs when man attempts to walk through nature and understand it. “Experience” is directly related to human subjectivity and how people see the world, citing experience as the fundamental facet by which human experience and life itself is measured. Emerson’s primary argument in “Experience” is that we form and shape our own realities through the subjective nature of experience, even when we do not realize it; by embracing the moment, and becoming self-reliant, we can life the most ideal version ...

According to chapter six of “Adult learning: Linking theory and practice” by Merriam & Bierema (2013), learning is defined as the ongoing refinement of practice and the emerging knowledge that is gained in the practice of a particular action. Learning and experience are interlinked in that one’s experience is a learning process and, on the other hand, learning creates experience. The more a person is learned, the more he or she is experienced and vice versa. Learning takes place in either formal or informal sectors of life. It is more pronounced in the adults because of the continued engagement in activities; whether ...

The occupational gender segregation is a strong feature of the labor market globally. This women segregation is a concern to the policy makers. This segregation has led to inefficiency in the economy and prevention of capable people to perform on their occupations better than others do. Women in particular have experienced the act of discrimination and have underestimated from some groups that joined the labor force. Not all women are equally to participate in the labor force. Their participation varies in marital status, social class, race and immigration background, the number and ages of children, education, region, and age. The feminists who ...

Introduction

It is said that in this world, change is the only permanent thing. Indeed, changes in the nursing profession and health care industry are inevitable as a result of external and internal catalysts. Policy reforms occur because of social, economic and political pressures. Knowledge is created every day, technology evolves at a fast pace, and consumer demands change. Organisations must respond effectively by modifying their strategic goals, structures, systems, processes, and culture (Anderson & Ackerman-Anderson, 2001). As a result, the professional roles of nurses expand, clinical practices improve, the work environment benefits from redesign, and patients receive better care. For this reason, change ...

Mark Twain was a humorist, an American journalist, lecturer and a novelist. Samuel Langhorne Clemens is his real name, Mark Twain being his stage name. He acquired fame internationally for his narratives on travel. The adventures of Huckleberry Finn provide a description of his hometown and his experiences. It begins in St. Petersburg, with encounters in Jackson's Island by Huck and Jim. It then shifts its attention to a journey full of perils down the Mississippi river to the Deep South. The distance from St. Peter in this journey creates a different distance, a complex and ironic perspective of the book, which is his masterpiece ...

The long awaited night was finally here with us. With my ticket in the pocket and all set for a great show, I walked into playhouse theatre.

The excitement I had stored for all this days was not fulfilled as the performance gave me something different. I have attended many live shows but this ...

While reading a short story, the imaginative language used by the author helps transport the reader into another world created by the author. In this case, a short story presents an experience that the author puts down which brings an imaginary world to life. On the other hand, when it comes to drama and poetry, the reader becomes part and parcel of the experience as they participate in the bringing to live of the written work. This is possible because the characters in the drama or poetry are brought o life by the audience as they take part in the reading, ...

The group and individual energy of an academic excursion to an art institute has undertones of expectation of the unexpected.

The selected audio elements, sounds of steps, elevator, coffee and shower, can be used as a vague reference, instead of exact languages to construct a composition. These sounds can be used to communicate no emotions or ideas in composition. In this case, repeated hearing of a single sound can be used by the audience to stop going to to its cause and more accurately to notice its characteristic trait. By imagining physical casual explanations for these sounds, one is able to re-unite the disembodied sound with an objective physicality that created (Bull, p.167). For example, the sound of shower can be related ...

Introduction

The article has its main claim that there exists a relationship between the human mind and the surrounding nature. This interdependence assists in repossession of our ecological dependent lost identity. This in addition helps in maneuver our behavior towards closing the dash between behavior and proenvironmental attitudes. The ecopsychologists take into account the existing relationship between the human nature and the natural environment as of importance to the mental health and hence ecological health. They consider that there is an existing loss of human external context as a result of the luxurious focus on the inner experience in relation to the ...

Fair and Tender Ladies, like Lee Smith’s novel The Color Purple, is a literary work in the form of letters. The letters in question are written by the novel’s female protagonist, Ivy Rowe, and through them the reader gets an intimate account of her life. Like other letter novels, Smith creates the impression that the letters are written over time, as narrations of experiences shortly after they take place. Moreover, Smith persuades the readers to perceive that Ivy writes the letters in the middle of experience, or at least while she is in the middle of construing their ...

Purpose of the Article

The purpose that the article serves is to insinuate the idea that applying mindfulness practices such as meditation, yoga and Qigong to training counselors increases the importance of self-care during their training and apply the concepts after the training. This encompasses opportunities for both students and professionals for personal growth. There is a notion of burnout and stress among professional and student counselors and it is an issue that the academic environment failed to address. Therefore, the article addresses the importance of keeping the mind at its perfect condition through alternative programs in order for counselors to become more effective ...

Our club President and team leaders mostly base their decisions on the maturity of the members. The maturity of the members is categorized into psychological maturity and job ...

Introduction

In a nursing practicum, the nurse is exposed to real world experiences where a nurse takes care of patients, conducts evaluations and assessments. The exercise allows the nurse to develop competencies and readies him/her for work. During my spring semester, I undertook my practicum. Initially, I intended on registering with a facility in California. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, my clinical contract in California was null and voided. Consequently, I had to travel to Wisconsin where I conducted my clinicals. This was very challenging given the abject change in climate.
Unlike in California where the climate is hot, Wisconsin was snowy ...

Water is known as “liquid Gold” since it is vital to the state’s urban centers, environmental conversation, agriculture, industry, scenic beauty and recreation. However, the commodity has experienced immersed controversy though out California’s history citing battles of dynamite blasts in the past to the present day battles in court rooms and the United States congress over who gets how much of the valuable reserve. The water issues result from lack of a reliable season rainfall during summer making the commodity limited to the population. The Wright Act was passed in 1887, when the legislators debated on ...

Self-efficacy is a key element that brings about self motivation and confidence to perform efficiently. It is that perception of an individual and the confidence he/she posses in the ability to perform a recommended tasks or response. The self-efficacy concept is within the social cognitive theory that shows the human learning and observation process of social experience in attaining self development.
The social cognitive theory attempts to give an explanation on how the thoughts, feeling, and behavior of individuals could be swayed through specific factors, predictable, or indirect presence of others. Thus, according to Bandura (1989), the trust of the ...

The majority of new nursing graduates (NGs) make their initial transition to professional practice when they step into the hospital environment. This poses many challenges, which include clinical errors, nervousness, demoralization, and difficulty in adapting to the socio-cultural changes (Bowles & Candela, 2005). Duchscher’s Transition Theory (2008) helps students to structure student thinking on their transition from nursing student to professional practitioners such as Registered Nurses (RNs) or Registered Practical Nurses (RPNs). Duchscher (2008) includes three reflection choices in her transition theory. Of the three, I shall focus on reflecting and describing how the transition theory can be used ...

This chapter of the book provides an insight about Developmental Psychology which is a field of study about age-based changes in experiences and behavior. Our cognitive ability, behavior and social interaction skills and the kind of our learning experiences evolve in various stages of learning and development from infancy until our lifetime. Our behavioral and cognitive development is influenced equally by genetics and our environment. My experience supports this insight because I know some people who are inherently intelligent with parents who are also smart and intellectually conversant. On the other hand, I ...

Assignment#2

Introduction
Successful leadership is characterized by the manner in which the leaders manage difficult times. Most leaders ranging from those in businesses to those working in the public setting have undergone and put up with traumatic situations. The ability to learn from every negative experience and soldering on to making great leaders is what makes the difference. Thomas and Bennis(2001) refer to these challenges of leadership as “the crucibles of Leadership.” A crucible is a transforming occurrence of a person from an old perspective to a new sense of individuality. For a leader to grow and develop out of the crucibles, ...

Ignore everybody

This idea has always appealed to me. In fact, it defines my principles and informs some of my strengths. Originality dictates that one tries out new things. One does not have to do what others have already done. In business, people are advised to be risk averse or if anything risk neutral. This goes against my principle. I believe in trying out new things. In that regard, I appreciate the concept of ignoring others. People tend to be averse to risk and would want to try only tried and tested methods. However, this usually limits their potential and leads ...

Rapp and Kurby (n. d. as cited in Gilbert, 2008, p. 25) define visualization as “any form of physical presentation designed to make an abstract concept visible”. It usually entails focusing of attention on an imagined or real object. It involves cognitive brain processes. The concept has wide application in fields such as psychology and education. In this paper, I will evaluate my feelings of a visualization experience and describe what can be learnt from such an experience.
In my case, I found visualization to be a valuable and insightful experience. Imagination of relaxed and positive situations evoked actual physical ...

Part 4 of Discourse on Method [Rene Descartes]

The fact that the self-conscious mind is able to exist because of the act of thinking is often taken for granted by many philosophers. Descartes was right is asserting “I think, therefore I am.” We can certainly not doubt the cogito, however, from a modern philosophical perspective, Descartes’ discussion throughout Discourse on Method has its limits, and but it is surprising that by the end of Part 4 he actually opposes his own arguments and agrees that we can we can distinguish between awake and dreaming.
Initially, Descartes’ dream argument concludes that there is no difference is being awake ...

Every human being has five external senses, namely hearing, sight, smell, taste, and touch (Bos and Read). These five sensory inputs determine how we interpret and understand the world we live in. We can define sensory perception as the process in which we use these five senses to receive stimuli, interpret and organize them in order to understand the meaning the environment around us. It is because of sensory perceptions that we are aware of our immediate surrounding by interpreting sensory information for survival purposes (Brewer, 2002).
Personally, I believe that sensory information is not accurately interpreted by ...

Perception is the process of categorizing and interpreting the "sensory experience [surrounding people] and involves both the recognition of environmental stimuli and actions in response to these stimuli" (Cherry, n.d). One of the factors that influence how individuals perceive the environment and situations is age. People undergo various experiences at different life stages, and the older the age of a person is, the deeper their knowledge is about life and certain circumstances. For instance, asking a rhetorical question such as "What is love?" to people of different ages (a six-year old, a 15-year old, and a 65-year old) would generate diverse responses from the ...

This essay discusses the application of the concepts ethnocentrism and cultural relativism. Ethnocentrism is defined as “the tendency to apply one’s own cultural values in judging the behavior and beliefs of people raised in other cultures” (Kottack 44). An opposite concept is cultural relativism which means that a “particular culture should not be judged by the standards of another” (Kottack 44). I have a particular experience involving food practices which I am evaluating using these two concepts.

Historically, the United States economy has experienced recurring periods of demand-pull inflationary gap, deflationary gap and cost-push stagflation. Each economic era affects the country’s gross domestic product (GDP) and employment rates significantly. For example, the US economy suffered immensely from the prolonged deflationary gap, which was one of the key causes of the Great Depression. The Great Depression, experienced from 1928-1933, was one of the worst periods in the US economic history.
Deflationary gap can simply be termed as an economic period associated with the decline in the prices of goods and services. Among the significant causes ...

After the war concluded, the reality of emancipation was experienced but the conflicts between the African and Americans were far from being resolved. The years of post war were monumental since it was during this duration that equality between African Americans was experienced. Although the whites had gladly embraced the blacks during the war, when the black soldiers came back home and were treated like second-class citizens.
African American women are not entitled to rights of being an American citizen. They are not also given the privilege of being respected like the white women. This makes Negro women ...

John Berger's Ways of Seeing is a fascinating and interesting book that looks at the ways in which humans perceive the world around them; Berger believes that the interrelation of text to image is important, and so he intersperses photographs, paintings, hand drawings and more with their appropriate text. "It is seeing which establishes our place in the surrounding world; we explain that world with words, but words can never undo the fact that we are surrounded by it" (p. 7). According to Berger, visuals can articulate concepts and ideas that words simply cannot quantify, and words as a result attempt ...

Application of Benner’s Theory: from Novice to Expert

Introduction
In her theory titled From Novice to Expert, Dr. Patricia Benner introduced the idea that expert nurses gain the skills and comprehension of patient care not merely by undergoing a rigorous educational program but also by being exposed to a multitude of experiences. According to Dr. Benner (1984), one can gain the needed skills without ever learning the theory. Therefore, she proposes that the development of knowledge and skills in a pragmatic field such as nursing, calls for exposure to practical knowledge of clinical experience. Benner’s theory stresses on the importance of practical knowhow and proposes that experience is a ...

In the society that we live in today, incidents of social injustice are very evident. Poverty is also something that is noticeable in every part of the world. The sad thing is that few people are willing to chip in and help those who are less fortunate, or even help curb social injustices.

In Toni Morrison’s novel, Beloved, does her style add value and complement the story?

Many readers find the experience of reading Beloved bewildering and confusing. Daniels refers to “Toni Morrison’s intense and challenging narrative,” (5) and refers to “the bewilderments of the novel’s beginning.” (5). Unsurprisingly, Daniels accounts for this confusion and bewilderment by reference to what he calls, “The shifting points of view and the multiple pasts of the narrative. “ (5) However, this essay will argue that Morrison’s’ style is an integral and vital part of the novel’s message and it is in the style and in the reader’s reaction to it that the real meanings of ...

Chapter Review – Critical Thinking

In this chapter, the author talks about the conditions that might bring about what people sometimes consider an extraterrestrial experience. He begins it with talking about having his own extraterrestrial abduction experience – he does this through recounting a time when he was incredibly sleep deprived in a marathon. As a result of this deprivation, he started to hallucinate things, including the notion that his support crew members were extraterrestrials. The reason he talks about this experience is to highlight the possibility for these highly detailed, committed and convincing alien abduction stories to be false.

I found this chapter highly interesting – the author ...
