Everybody has their own idea of what creativity is. Creativity is defined as the capability to see the world in different ways, to discover unseen patterns, to make links between apparently distinct phenomena, and to create solutions. Creativity encompasses two practices: thinking and putting the thoughts in a tangible object that can be heard or see. Various components are needed for one to be creative. Such components, together with the reasons as to why people create are discussed in this paper. Further, the questions of whether creativity has a value, or whether it can be taught are answered.

How does the story of the Ugly Duckling in chapter four of the Pinkola Estes book relate to your OWN values, beliefs, experience and personal/professional understanding as a caring-healing, ethical nurse working with women? I find the story of the Ugly Duckling intriguing and extremely validating for me. The story stresses on not giving up no matter the situation you find yourself in, rather continue pressing on until you realize your goals (Estes, 1992). The story holds so much for me because it is about the journey of self-discovery. We are currently living in a world inhabited by an ...

Slavery was a part of the American culture for almost a whole decade (1776-1865), and during that time, many people had to suffer inhumanly for the only solid reason of being a bit different from someone else. There is no way of wiping the past from the memories of those who have struggled, which means that the terror of slavery will always be a part of the human history. As the experience shows, world history is far from being pretty. It has presented its evils so many times that merely counting them would take ages. Every major society, every ...

Before the invention of modern medicinal practice, my grandparents and great grandparents used traditional herbs whenever they were suffering from various forms of sickness. Particularly, my mother explained to me about a few medicinal herbs that were mostly used in my culture, and are still used to date. For instance, I learned about the use of ginger tea and sage herbs in healing. Ginger herbs are used to reduce nausea and soothe a sore throat (The Organic Prepper, 2016). However, my interest was mostly based on sage herbs, sage tea, and sage leaves. After conducting intensive research, I noticed ...

Colonization and infection

The population of elderly adults has been on a rise within the US, and this has been attributed to the improved healthcare system and especially on increased access to care for these populations. Within this perspective, life expectancy has increased and today the healthcare system is dominated by consumers within this category of elderly citizens (Koyano et al., 2014). Their risks of illness in this population is attributed to the aging mechanisms of tear and wear which therefore means that their systems and organs and particularly the defense mechanism tends to lose its agility with age. The one of ...

People often juxtapose their world to the world of nature. More and more often modern people, in contrast to those living in ancient times, express an opinion that they are masters on the earth and, therefore, have a right to exercise dominion over animals, plants, and nature on the whole. However, in most cases, people are just slaves of circumstances and of the environment in which they happen to exist. Disgrace, a Booker-prize winning novel by J.M. Coetzee (1999), is all about that coexistence of the two worlds – the world of nature and the world of people who want ...

Policy Analysis: Issue of Health Disparities in Alaska Natives and American Indians

Health disparities among Alaska Natives and American Indians (AI/ANs) have been reported since the initial contact that occurred nearly 500 years in the past. Moreover, the disparities are common in every age and across a wide spectrum of various disease categories (Sarche & Spicer, 2008). Accordingly, AI/ANs endure persistent health disparities that include health status decline, barriers to essential health services, and high uninsured rates. The group also experiences a lower status of health in comparison to other Americans (Frizzell, 2016). The disproportionate burden of disease and reduced life expectancy in AI/ANs can be attributed to cultural differences, discrimination in ...

(What did I Learn) The word genocide refers to the murder or killing of an entire group of people or tribe. It further entails the systematic and deliberate extermination of a national or ethnic group which was the situation the Native Americans faced according to the film Dakota 38 and Dr. Mato Nunpa’s article. The two resources capture the horrendous experiences of the indigenous tribe in the hands of the White men and their social implications then and centuries later. The White race was determined to bring an end to the Native Indian people because it considered them ...

This essay will outline the CRISPR technology, discuss the ethical problems with CRISPR and conflicts surrounding it, as well as argue whether gene editing is ethical in general.

What Is the CRISPR Technology?

CRISPR technology is a genetic technique that allows researchers to alter particular genes in an organism’s DNA. The method employs a class of enzymes ...

The Problems of Physiotherapy

Abstract Keywords: exercise, nutrition, physiotherapy, obesity, diet. This paper will look at the effects that a lack of adequate exercise and nutrition is having on our population from the point of view of a physiotherapist. While physiotherapy is a normal part of many patients’ rehabilitation and recovery, the general lack of both exercise and healthy diet which has become a feature of many societies in developed countries has led to a situation where a stable loop is formed: people injure themselves due to a lack of exercise putting undue strain on their joints, physiotherapy is prescribed, and healing is ...

Introduction

The story that had impressed me in my recent readings is ‘Heal,’ written by Ankit Raj Bachchan on a short story website, because of its simple, concise, direct and clear narrative.

Also, this paper will analyze the distinct traits of individual and group counseling. Group counseling involves one counselor attending several clients simultaneously. On the other hand, individual counseling includes a one on one session between a client and therapist. In group counseling, the members may be shy to share their issues ...

Health Care Provider and Faith Diversity: First Draft

It means that a broad understanding of different cultures and faiths is required if one is to become a nurse or a healthcare provider. This paper analyzes two different religions, Christianity and Buddhism, along with the author’s own spiritual beliefs, and assesses their respective views regarding illness, prayer, medical care ...

Importance of Nursing Theory

Introduction Nursing, in general, refers to the nurturing and caring for a sick person. But over the years, such duties are institutionalized and carried out in a professional and scientific manner. Today, nursing has become a specific profession. Nurses are formally educated in their field and trained in the science and art of nursing, which have been developed over the years of study and research. Although, one does not need to have a background in the nursing profession in order to perform such task, caring and nurturing becomes more effective for those who are knowledgeable and experienced in nursing. ...

One of the most important Messianic sects was the Essenes. They were apocalyptic, believing that they were the true religion, and that people would be judged by God in order to restore order and justice on Earth. They believed that God had revealed the truth to them, and abandoned Jerusalem protesting the manner in which the Romans were running the Temple. The Essenes held a radical monastic community in the desert, with very strict law. They are the ones that most people attribute the Dead Sea Scrolls to, and deeply influenced John the Baptist. Jesus is contemporarily famous for ...

Purnell’s Model for Cultural Competence

Introduction The modern health care faces multiculturalism and diversity challenges that arise due to cultural differences of the health care professionals and among the clients. As such, various initiatives and strategies have become necessary to inculcate cultural sensitivity or competence among health care professionals. Healthcare organizations face the challenges pose by multicultural diversity as well as ethnic and racial disparities among the service providers (Campinha, 2011). Therefore, they are avidly adopting various strategies to address this issue. They develop statements, initiatives, and standards to encourage health care professionals to become culturally competent. Purnell’s Model has been proposed for ...

Summary

Tan (2007), establishes a Cognitive Behavior Therapy technique applying a unifying strategy to improve clinical issues of the patient. By the use of informed consent approach, Tan (2007) distinguishes the suitable therapeutic methods utilizing implied integration, a surreptitious method or precise integration, which is an unconcealed approach, which purposely promotes spiritual dynamics in counseling. Tan (20017) supports the effectiveness of the Cognitive Behavior Therapy technique using empirical data, from historical studies of cognitive therapy. Notably, the cognitive therapy has developed to include therapeutic approaches whereby the love of God is exhibited and uncovered through the Holy Spirit. This technique ...

Health Care

Under conventional repayment protection, the cash takes after the patient. Patients select human services suppliers and visit them as they pick. Suppliers at that point charge the private guarantor or open payer and are repaid on a charge for-administration or per case premise. This is known as Managed Care. The key issues associated with Managed Care are: I) Cost Savings II) Provider Reimbursement and III) Quality of Care . Cost Savings: Savings done by Managed Care are either not genuine, or are unsustainable. In a late review of shoppers, 60% said that managed care had either not had any kind ...

RESTORATIVE JUSTICE

Abstract Encountering the information about a crime, we tend to find out the allegedly basic issues concerning one’s guilt and the accountability of an offender in the form of just punishment. Such approach is not an exception or a rare case, instead – it is an overwhelming thought. However, in fact, the committing of a crime is far more complicated issue than the mere interrelation between illegal act and inevitable punishment. Nevertheless, people are still likely to neglect the accomplishments of restorative justice as one of incomprehensible novelties. Therefore, this paper is dedicated to the revealing of the truth ...

Abstract

Paget's disease of the breast is an uncommon kind of cancer of the nipple–areola complex and that is time and again connected to a fundamental in situ or persistent carcinoma.

Healthcare ethics is sometimes also referred to as medical ethics or bioethics and simply defined, is a set of moral principles, beliefs, and values that guide medical practitioners in making important choices about giving medical care. Four core principles that define ethical responsibilities and within which medical professionals must act in the United States are: Autonomy which demands that the professional honors the patients’ right to decide on their own about the medical care to be given, Beneficence which on the other hand tasks the practitioner with the duty to assist the patients to enhance their own good, Nonmaleficence ...

Art pill

Recently I have met with an interesting woman – Anna Kozachenko – second-generation immigrant from Ukraine. She works at a local art gallery, continuing the passion of her grandmother who used to be an artist back in Ukraine and who pushed Anna to work in this industry. A little over forty today, Anna shared some unbelievable stories about her childhood and about her visits to homeland that left her more puzzled rather than gave her understanding of her roots. In a brief interview that we had, I realized that we live in such a surreal time. We have access to all ...

Sometimes, the perpetrator may be unsuccessful at his objective which is having sexual intercourse, but may sexually assault the victim through inappropriate touching, attempted rape. Rape is any form of sexual assault that is unwanted and that a person does not concede. These include oral, anal, and vaginal penetration.

The question of whether the victim knew the perpetrator is not relevant to date rape cases. The most grueling task in solving a date rape case is proving that it was ‘rape action’ and that the victim, did not consent to have any form of sexual intercourse with the perpetrator. ...

Advantages and disadvantages of having a circumcision

Various persons and groups have advocated for and against circumcision, often citing various advantages or disadvantages to back up their respective positions. Some advantages according to Elist (2013a), the National Health Service (NHS) (2016) and Webmd (2014) include the reduced risk of developing urinary tract infections (UTIs), sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) especially HIV, cancer of the penis and cervical cancer in female partners. It also acts as prophylaxis against balanitis, balanoposthitis phimosis and paraphimosis as well as facilitates the maintenance of penis hygiene (Elist, 2013b; NHS, 2016; Webmd, 2014; Wiswell, 1997). Disadvantages of the procedure include complications which may ...

According to Christopher Bader, Joe Baker and Frederick Carson Mencken in Paranormal America: Ghost encounters, UFO sightings, Bigfoot hunts, and other curiosities in religion and culture (2011) research shows that “more than 2/3 of Americans have paranormal beliefs with this being manifested in their penchant for movies with paranormal themes. This statistic is not alarming since evidently the paranormal and the supernatural have been a part of human culture since the beginning of time. In fact, in most religions paranormal experiences are either commonplace, or show up without alarm to the persons practicing that particular religion. While persons without ...

This paper focuses on how to reduce pressure ulcer rates and the tools and strategies to be used to improve the quality of the service provided. Pressure ulcers can mostly be prevented and using initiatives to prevent pressure ulcers from developing can improve the health care process and reduce the rates of pressure ulcers developing (Sullivan & Schoelles, 2013). According to Lyder (2003, p. 223), “pressure ulcers develop when persisting pressure on a bony site obstructs healthy capillary flow, leading to tissue necrosis.” Preventing pressure ulcers is important because it protects patients as well as reduces the cost of care ...

Abstract

Christianity and Islam are both monotheistic religions with the same fundamental background, which are closely aligned as it relates to the presentation of the old testament, however, differing on points of the significance of Jesus and the path to salvation. It is important to understand how both of these religions view the interplay of faith, and modern medicine as it relates to health, wellness and healing. In essence, as both invest faith in an omnipotent and omnipresent God, who promises followers eternal life, both believe that prayer, faith, and the intervention of the divine are integrally involved in healing. ...

The Greco-Roman myth is characterized by familial power struggles which mean that power structure was primarily hereditary as power revolved around one family. Familial power structures are reflected by the way Zeus allocated responsibilities to his sons and daughters. The gods, such as Zeus father, killed their sons for fear that they would usurp them while there were also incidences where gods would be dethroned from power. The Greco-Roman myth reflects the way power struggles interfere with the functioning of the society and the extent to which those in authority are willing to go in sustaining their authority and ...

Introduction:

In addition to the physiological factors, there are a number of psychological factors that play a major role on musculoskeletal pain that can lead to disability. After the patient has healed from the physiological factors that led to the experience of pain, there are still fear avoidance beliefs that can take the form of chronic pain in the mind, so that the patient resists increases in physical activity levels. Ironically, the decision to reduce physical activity levels in response to this combination of physical pain and psychological fears keeps the back pain chronic, as the patient never overcomes the ...

On the treatment, the patient will be prescribed on antibiotics to manage ...

Introduction

Restorative justice occurs when the offender accepts accountability, and the victim agrees to enter into a reconciliation process. This research paper analyzes the efficiency of restorative justice in Canada.

Values and principles in the society

The restorative justice in Canada is based on four primary principles. The Encounter is the first value, which aims at creating an opportunity for the victim, offender, and the society to meet and discuss the crime (Restorative Justice, 2011). The encounter also aims at creating a forum whereby the parties can examine the consequences of the offense. The second one is Amends, and offers a chance to the offender to ...

I agree with you on both points that you make. I do think that healing gardens in a working environment could stimulate productivity and activity, especially to those that are open to receiving, or made aware of, the positive energies that a healing garden generates. That is to say, for those people that are not open to the idea, there is likely not much that they will see and feel in a healing garden. I recall once having a talk with friends that had travelled to Japan and said that had the opportunity to stay at a Buddhist temple. ...

Complementary treatment is a term used to refer to interventions that are consumed alongside the conventional treatments (NHS, 2016). Complementary treatments are non-mainstream, meaning that they cannot be prescribed by the physicians. Evidence exists to substantiate the importance of complementary interventions in the recovery healing process. It is advisable, however, that a patient consults with the physician first before commencing on any complementary intervention. The purpose of this paper is to share a positive story in practice about a complementary modality experience that influenced health. Undertaking this exercise will broaden my knowledge about the use of complementary treatments, and ...

Health care system of England and the US healthcare system

The health facilities to the citizens provided in U.S. and England are vast. However, there exists a big discrepancy in terms of social insurance. Over the years, England is considered as an association for human services while in the U.S., it is privatized. The total cost of 47.5 million is incurred through heavy wellbeing protection premiums in the U.S (Mahar, 2006). There are more terrible situations in case of psychological wellness and substance utilization issue. Due to more assuring enactments made, people are wondering about the perfect scenario in case of human services. While comparing U.S. and England, the ...

The value of literature in human life cannot be overestimated. This kind of art is one of the most ancient and important for humankind. Though this type of art has a connection with such term as fiction, it still has quite a real basis. Literature has arisen much earlier than it was given a definition and typology. The man, who existed before the literature, had already used its main elements even earlier than ten thousand years ago, which played a very important role in the life of the whole humankind. Using the words that were written on stones, people ...

“Hope, Healing, and the struggle” by Braverman is about the struggles of the Pakistani people against the Israeli discriminatory conditions like the wall he talks about in “A wall in Jerusalem”, (Braverman 1). Jesus’ son on the other hand tells about the lives of the addicts in the stories and how they overdose on drugs in presence of their lovers. Interestingly, they live in a life of struggle and loss of direction. Jesus’ son is a tale of the young addicts without hope, and in need of healing while living with the struggles of their lives. Johnson chose the ...

The skin may result to tissue damage caused by injury, infection, trauma or pathological processes. Wound healing involves a complex sequence of overlapping events, but also consists of predictable sequence of events consisting primarily of tissue regeneration and tissue repair (Flanagan, 2013). Wound healing involves three processes, namely primary, secondary and tertiary intention healing. The major events occuring during the primary intention healing process are the deposition of the connective tissue and epithelialization (Sussman and Jensen, 2007). This process is usually associated to surgical incision healing where the tissue surface has been stitched or stapled when there is very ...

My life seemed normal until I fell victim to a destructive pathology that compromised my health. What had initially been regarded as disordered eating had become a full blown eating disorder. I suffered for months from anorexia nervosa, and after a while, I began to gradually wither away into a torrid state. I refused to eat, could not sleep, and became a miserable person to be around. It felt as if the joy, light, and laughter that had once colored in my life had been snatched away from me by a terrible predator. Prior to my eating disorder, I ...

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 ...

Loss can be in many forms in our lives each day. It is common, especially for military families who have so much to deal with and changes that occur in an instant. One of the common losses that these families experience is the unexpected death of a loved one. Men and women who are killed in combat can be harder to cope with because it was unexpected. Death, in any case, is not something that can be easily dealt with or accepted. When a person dies from a prolonged illness; the loss is expected to happen. If a person ...

Abstract

Pastoral counseling is gradually becoming a radical provider of mental health services. Clergymen are increasingly pursuing training in both behavioral science and religion. In endeavors to manifest quality clinical practice, they merge theological and psychological disciplines. Pastoral counseling is thus a distinctive psychotherapy, given its ability to include divine and God`s power. The psychotherapy is based on the belief that people desire divine connection. Pastoral counselors mediate healing with God`s loving in order to achieve ideal wholeness. As such, this paper depicts a reflection on pastoral counseling in liaison with previous readings in class. It leverages various ...
