Introduction

Maslow calls resilience “ordinary magic.” But in reality, there is nothing magic at all about resilience. Resilience is not even a natural human intact or behavior, it is one that is learned over time and influenced by one’s environment. People are not born naturally resilient. The behavior is an adaptation necessary from their surroundings as they grow and change. Simply, Resilience is a learned behavior.

Infants are not naturally resilient

Starting at the beginning of our life, in infancy, individuals are not naturally resilient. Take for example infants. Infants have a wonderful ability to adapt to their environment, to change and move according ...

There are times when a nursing problem arises as a result of a number of findings, and these findings are pulled together into a summary in order to see the big picture created out of these findings. This act of pulling together is what Brown & Ochs (2018) calls a systematic research review (SRR) or systematic review, which helps researchers identify “what is known with certainty, what is tentatively known, and what the gaps in knowledge are regarding an issue” (p.175). It serves as a link between the individual studies performed and the decision making done in order to create ...

Introduction

The nature of "The Cherry Orchard", in terms of the genre has always been controversial. Often the play is defined as a "tragicomedy", or an "an ironic tragicomedy." However, it is vital to understand what genre the play is as it defines the code of reading the play and the characters. What does it mean to see elements of tragedy in the play? This would mean to a certain extent agree with the characters’ originality, their sincere and true suffering. However, it is impossible to see any strong trait in characters that are "weak-willed", "aching", "whining", and have "lost ...

End-of-life care refers to the provision of care to patients with incurable terminal illnesses and patients who are in a permanent vegetative state, and that type of care is one of the most commonly debated ethical issues in contemporary health care for two reasons. First, because of the development and advancement of medical techniques and technologies, physicians and nurses are now able to prolong the patients’ lives, but those interventions do not always improve the patients’ quality of life or maintain their human dignity (Cherry & Jacob, 2016). Second, the human population is aging, so the prevalence of terminal illnesses ...

The issues of global warming, climate and weather have been discussed for a long time. Weather can be defined as the frequent changes in aspects as the wind, sun temperatures, and rainfall either on an hourly or daily basis. On the other hand, the averaged patterns in weather changes over a given period of time, probably a decade or more, can be described as climate. In the same context, global warming falls under the changes that have been impacted by climate over a long period of time by human activities and worsening environmental problems (Climate Modeling 101: Climate vs. ...

Groundwater contamination by toxic metals and organic compounds is a serious environmental and public health problem (Crini 39). Many of the common contaminants in wastewater are known to be toxic or carcinogenic. Common groundwater contaminants include heavy metal ions, aromatic compounds, and dyes. Additionally, heavy metals are not biodegradable and tend to bioaccumulate, leading to various diseases and disorders. Mercury and cadmium are among the most toxic metals and are very damaging to the environment. Additionally, chromium (VI) is a wide-spectrum toxin, as it is toxic to bacteria, plants, animals, and humans. Organic compounds in groundwater are ...

Introduction

When operating within the healthcare industry, it is important for health professionals to adhere to a set of legal and ethical standards that define their connection to the profession. The legal and ethical standards act as a set of rules that govern the overall performance of health professions with an aim of ensuring that they perform based on the expectations from their patients. However, one of the key challenges arising from these legal and ethical standards is that they tend to bring about a platform for conflicting expectations especially on matters associated the decision-making element. The perspective presented through ...

Smoking, drinking, overeating and accumulating stressors are behaviors that become pronounced in adulthood though they trace their origins to a much younger age probably around the teenage years. These behaviors do not just crop up out of the blues. They start and develop over a period. The various theories and theorists in this context are keen on pointing out the psychosocial nature of an individual. They show how the actions and expectations of a person conflict with those of society and how that could therefore lead to various behaviors in adulthood. The theories in contexts have their different ways ...

Egocentrism is simply a heightened degree of self-consciousness and self-awareness. David Elkind’s work was mostly focused on adolescent psychology. Therefore, his version of egocentrism was mainly in adolescents. According to Elkind, adolescents have the inability to perceive the difference between what they think of themselves and what people think of them. His theory traces its roots from Piaget’s theory of cognitive development, which presents an argument that due to the changes adolescents undergo, they can conceptualize their thoughts and conceive those of other people. This is a buildup of what Elkind provides in that he brings in ...

Personality refers to a set of distinctive behavioral styles, patterns, and traits that define the character of an individual. According to Cherry (2016) how an individual perceives the world, his attitudes, feelings, and thoughts form part of personality. Individuals with healthy personalities are able to cope up with stresses and have no problem in forming relationships with friends and family members. An extreme personality is a condition in which a person is characterized by strict and inflexible adherence to the systems, rules, orderliness and perfection. Failure to meet any of the fore mentioned standards can lead to a conflict ...

The institutional affiliation

Nursing practice experiences constant changes due to the implementation of new trends related mainly to the demographic shifts, medical research, and technological advancements. Being the closest to patients’ caregivers, nurses are considered as major contributors to healthcare organizations. Nurses are obliged to have an evidence-based understanding of the significant influence that can be made through health promotion interventions and deliver this understanding to the community at large (Sanjiv, 2014). What are the most recent trends in the modern healthcare system; and what influence do they have on nursing? Nursing Roles: Due to the expanding opportunities within nursing, there is ...

Informal presentation

Hello colleagues. I am privileged to have worked with most of you in various forums. The healthcare setting is our second home and it is the point where we not only give back to the community but also work to fulfill the calling that is care giving. We are part of the healthcare system that is changing fast and moving closer and closer to meeting the needs of a community whose needs are increasing in equal measure with time. The adoption of the Affordable Care Act 2010 is one of the milestones that significantly changed the role and scope ...

The Alignment between the values of an organization and those of a nurse usually has an important impact on not only the engagement of the nurse but also on the patient outcomes. Where a strong alignment exists, nurses usually experience a higher sense of job satisfaction. Also, the nurses tend to become more committed towards the organizational course (Bamford, Wong & Laschinger, 2013). Further, an excellent level of value alignment facilitates the elimination of turnover behaviors including tardiness and absenteeism. Besides, as it was revealed by Bamford, Wong, and Laschinger (2013), value alignment leads to a motivation for superior performance. ...

Human behavior is very complex and interesting, and psychology is the study of the human mind and behavior. It can only be understood by someone who has the proper knowledge about the human mind and behavior. In this essay, I discuss as to why I should major in psychology and explore its scope as a career, instead of majoring in Fashion. Even though my major is fashion, I am thinking of changing my major and taking up psychology as it has a wide scope and there are so many fields that you can specialize in like, educational psychology, child ...

Attachment Theory

John Bowlby developed the attachment theory and was it to describe attachment as, “a lasting psychological connectedness between human beings” (Cherry, 2016). Attachment theory is focused on the bonds and relationships between people, especially long-term relationships that include relationships such as parent-child and romantic partners. The earliest behavioural theories claimed that attachment is a learned behavior. There are four specific styles of attachment styles; secure attachment, fearful attachment, preoccupied attachment, and dismissive attachment. This paper will analyse two of these styles.

Secure Attachment

Explanation of Concept Adults with secure attachment style tend to be greatly satisfied with their relationships. Children having ...

(From The Traditional Chinese Medicine to the Naturing Life)

Introduction

Naturing Life has bestowed people with an incomparable beauty. According to Coco Chanel, “A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous”. The pursuit of beauty is an eternal topic of discussion, particularly among women. Without a doubt, beauty is something that almost everyone pursues in life. It is hard to imagine how women used to maintain their beautiful appearance thousands of years ago. As compared to the modern science and technological advancements that now support the beauty industry in many ways (such as hyaluronic acid injection or face-lifting surgery), ...

Anton Chekov’s seminal play The Cherry Orchard, among its many other themes, explores the theme of time passing. Lopakhin the businessman, for instance, remarks that “Time does go,” a simple statement that is nonetheless indicative of a larger sense of the significance of time in the lives of the characters (1). The play as viewed through the time-sensitive character Lopakhin operates on a ticking clock, as he is perpetually anxious about saving the titular cherry orchard in time, and gives the audience the impression of Lopakhin as a hurried, efficient character, representative of a more modern desire to ...

The concerns about climate change among the public members and the scientific community are increasing. The members of the public and the scientific community are in the urge to understand the potential causes and impacts of climate change. The trends in the climate and temperatures around the world indicate that global warming is taking place (Botkin & Keller, 1995, p. 45). Provide one piece of data scientists offer to show that the climate is changing globally and give the expected impacts of climate change in my area.

The following discussion will examine aspects of learning and motivation.

Positive and Negative Reinforcement The reinforcing contingencies of positive and negative reinforcement provides the motivation for employees to repeat certain desireable behaviors. (Hitt, Colella and Miller, 2014) Positive reinforcement is the external stimulus from people or organizations which moves a person to do something willingly because he feels pleasure or is expecting to gain from his action. When we recognize that there is a cause and effect pattern that is consistently bringing us good feelings or benefits, then we normally respond positively to the action and even encourage its recurrence. Common examples abound in all stages ...

According the author emotions are what rules our daily lives. People make decisions based on their emotions. Hobbies and activities we choose are solely based on the kind of emotion they cause to us. I tend to disagree with author propositions that emotions are the tiny psychological factors that make individual behavior in a certain way or choose to do one thing inside of the other. Humans also make decision on activities to engage in based on the future outcomes expected. It beats logic why someone would make a decision to rob a bank because it incites a cheerful ...

Introduction

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) safeguards health care services in the United States. It embodies numerous statutory clauses that not only affect the health care system but also creates the necessary impetus for quality and precision in the sector (Schoenewolf, 2012). Before its enactment, the health care system in the United States was fraught with inconsistencies that were detrimental to the overall quest for quality health and wellness. Due to the broad nature of its provisions, the Act may take some time to be fully implemented (Schoenewolf, 2012). However, such a challenge should not deter the ...

Cognitive theories are trying to explain why the brain is the main incredible network within the body in information interpretation and processing learning (Fletcher & Fincham, 2013). Cognitive theories are divided into two major categories: the cognitive behavioral theory and the social cognitive theory (Fletcher & Fincham, 2013). The social cognitive theory considers three variables which include environmental factors (extrinsic), behavioral factors and personal factors (intrinsic). On the other hand, the cognitive behavioral theory is describing the role of the knowing in an attempt to predict and determine the behavioral pattern of a person. Jean Piaget looked at his work as ...

Introduction

Organ transplants may not be a perfect way to save human life, but the point that it does, in fact, save lives is undeniable, and no matter what the critics say, the facts would always be more compelling. And the facts state that every year, upward to about 25,000 people just within America are pulled back from certain death because of the existence of organ transplants. There are unfortunately those too who are mostly left holding the shorter end of the stick there are about 5,000 who die in wait of these organ transplants . These statistics point ...

Leadership vision

Effective leadership is a necessity for every company, enterprise, or organization that wishes to prosper. Mainly, it involves being in charge of the other members. Although trait leadership theory suggests otherwise, I believe that leadership is a skill and one can learn it at any level. Leaders are not perfect individuals; instead, they are people who have committed to be responsible for a team. A leadership development plan (LDP) is an outline that enables an individual to achieve his or her leadership goals. The plan comprises various elements will help a person to accomplish his or her leadership desires ...

Botkin and Kellar (2014) describe an ecosystem as “communities of organisms and their nonliving environment in which nutrients and other chemicals cycle and energy flow.” I have chosen the forests of Pennsylvania as a holistic ecosystem to examine. Pennsylvania has approximately 17 million acres of forest, making up 59% of this State. The predominant species associations are oak/hickory in the central and southern areas and Northern hardwood (including black cherry, maple and birch) in the north and north-west (Sustaining Penn’s Woods, 2001). The vast forest area contains mature ecosystems with the aforementioned tree species as the climax species. ...

Introduction

The Fourth National Mental Health Plan 2009-2014 resulted from a collaborative action in the Australian government. The plan was aimed at developing a mental health system at the early stages of the illness to ensure efficient recovery, detection, and prevention (Lawrence et al., 2015). In addition, the plan also aimed at ensuring that all the Australian people access appropriate and useful community support and treatment so that they could totally participate in the community activities (Commonwealth of Australia, 2009). The plan emphasizes the methods of reforming the mental health sections related to the policies developed by other portfolios in ...

Behaviorism proclaims that human's behavior depends on the environment. It happens as follows: an incentive generates a certain reaction. The reaction to behaviorism means human actions; the stimulus – means a stimulus coming from the external world. The main idea of the research is that according to behaviorism, all behaviors are the result of external activity and I am going to consider this issue. Behaviorism is one of the main directions of modern academic psychology. Behaviorists studied psyche of humans and animals through their behavior. The behaviorists propose to consider the psyche based on objective facts and came to the ...

Through my own personal development and skills, I have worked alongside children that are in the upper-elementary age bracket. When I was younger, I served as a tutor and mentor to youth. I have also worked in the Big Brothers Big Sisters program which helped me to connect with children of all different ages and many of them were youth who could potentially be at-risk if they did not have a mentor there to help them. Through the mayor’s anti-gang task force in Houston, it has been designed to help children off of the streets and become better ...
