Essays on Painful

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 ...

Field Experience: A School Psychologist Interview

I interviewed a licensed school psychologist, which told me a few interesting things useful for me and my future professional practice. A psychologist plays a special role in special education working with the client because he represents a person with strong experience and views. In this sense, people need help in order to set goals in business and work, and in relationships. Unfortunately, they begin to take care of themselves only when the situation becomes critical. Thus, a psychologist has to consider consciously what happens in relationships and family, and resolve problems of people with special needs. A psychologisthas ...

Qualitative Research

Brief Description The interview was conducted among two people on the topic “Interpretation of the migration crisis”, which turned to be quite challenging due to the sensitiveness of the topic. First of all, it was problematic to find participants, as the majority thought that the answers may affect their social or professional life, even though I made it clear that the participation is anonymous. Secondly, one of the respondents refused to continue answering the questions in the middle of the interview without explaining the reasons. However, as this option was discussed before the interview, it did not affect the ...

What is the meaning of life? Throughout history, people have asked themselves this question, coming to answers that vary greatly. In my case, I have seen that helping others is my true calling. In my personal history, there have been many significant events that have led me towards one path; particularly, some have had to do with my African ancestors, including my grandfather’s very impacting death. From my volunteer experiences, I have learnt the value and personal satisfaction that come with lending a helping hand to those in need. Then, after working at a hospital, I saw that ...

In this essay I will dwell upon the issue of euthanasia. I will consider different views on this issue and discuss the contradictions that arise in relation to the use of euthanasia in different situations. I believe that passive euthanasia is possible and even desirable to alleviate the suffering of a terminally ill patient, when there is no hope to return the essential functions of his body, provided appropriate control over the lawfulness of the procedure implementation. Euthanasia is a conscious action, resulting in the death of a hopelessly ill and suffering person in a relatively quick and painless ...

“A Rumor of War” is Philip Caputo’s memoir about his experience in the Vietnam War. This book is not merely an act of recording brutal and horrible act during the war, but also the account of how an adolescent comes to terms with his misdeeds taking part in the war in Indochina in 1965. In general, the book is just a story about war and a painful personal experience of a soldier. The author of the book was one of the first Americans to fight in Vietnam and one of the last to be evacuated from this country. ...

A growing concern has been rising within public and policy domains as fundamental elements in providing safe and quality health care have been lacking. This has led to poor patient care, as well as pitiable clinical, emotional, and social outcomes.

For example, the reports present stories from patients who have had experiences characterized with poor, inadequate and negligent care, and abuse while receiving nursing care. These reports have led stakeholders within health care to affirm there are unrecorded stories that are ...

As a husband, he has always been affectionate and attentive, supportive and understanding. When, just after their first baby was born, she decided to give up her promising academic career, he accepted her choice. When after several years of housewife boredom she faintly started a conversation about getting back to work, he was ready to back her up.

The article by Marceta Reilly “Getting Genuine Commitment for Change” (2015), discusses several responses of employees in the education area to the changes proposed by leaders: principals and coaches. The author of the article argues that it is natural to react to new initiatives and practices with resistance and be reluctant to accept innovation. The reason, according to Reilly (2015), is that people feel secure and comfortable when doing their job in customary ways, and are alarmed when changes affect these traditional ways, which they are accustomed with. Often they do not see a need to change anything in ...

Combating Terrorism: Extraordinary Renditions and Advanced Interrogations

Terrorist attacks have been the fiercest, threatening the national security of most countries. Various measures have developed to combat the crime of terrorism by different countries. The most common way of disciplining criminals is the use of judicial procedures where the suspects are proved guilty by the criminal courts and appropriate disciplinary measures applied based on the crime committed. However, other measures are used exclusively by some governments to punish the suspects of terror attacks. Among these methods is the use of extraordinary renditions, which involve surrendering the criminals to another country for interrogation and detention (Horowitz & Cammarano, 2013). ...

Beginning in 1932 the Tuskegee Syphilis Study took 400 African American men who suffered from syphilis and promised free, new treatments. However, they received no real treatment because the study was not on treatments of syphilis but on the effects of syphilis when it goes untreated. Even after penicillin was determined to be an effective treatment for syphilis the men were never given this treatment. In fact, they gave the subjects spinal taps without anesthesia, telling them it was a new treatment, when they really wanted to test the effects of syphilis on the human brain (Ogungbure, 2011). It ...

Abstract

The worldview of a person is their view and understanding of their entire existence, including the world they live in. Religious beliefs reflectcolor a person’s worldview very strongly. In a comparative look, Christianity and Sikhism have some commonality as monotheistic approaches to the world, in the necessity for moral and ethical behavior that is good, in seeking truth, and in serving an all-knowing God Wwho imparts some of that knowledge to mankind. However, there are noticeable differences in beliefs about death and afterlife, human definition, and the meaning of human history. These beliefs structure their worldviews ...

It can also result in transient numbness or tingling sensations and/or elevated level of urinary frequency. The complex anatomy and biomechanics of SIJ have an important role in the development of the low back pain and other symptoms, and they are also involved in making it ...

In human society there have always been laws and lawbreakers. Police were designed to protect the public from the dangerous offenders who might steal from them, harm them or kill them. The idea was that police were to be a positive inclusion in American cities, towns and neighborhoods. In some cases and some places they are exactly that. However, over the last few years there have been more and more instances where police have committed acts of unnecessary force, extreme violence and, unfortunately, including the use of deadly force in cases where their actions and motivation are being questioned ...

Pain is a commonly experienced phenomenon among patients. Despite the commonality of the phenomenon of pain, it is a complex concept to describe and explain. There are different types of pain that are diagnosed using different metrics in primary care –somatic, neuropathic, and visceral pain, depending on the location of the pain on the body. Pain can also be acute or chronic, based on the length of time that a patient has experienced the pain. Due to the complexity of the phenomenon of pain, it is poorly understood in the nursing practice. Performing a concept analysis of pain is ...

There is a growing awareness among clinicians and researchers alike (despite a paucity of solid, supporting epidemiological data) that the eating disorders, anorexia nervosa and bulimia, are appearing in certain segments of the population at an increasingly alarming rate Lucas, Beard, Kranz, & Kuriand, 1983). These are eating disorders that can have quite similar manifestations and different origins (sometimes they are endocrinological, while sometimes they can be therapeutic or even psychological-psychiatric). However, the main cause of these diseases is a distorted view of own body and an altered attitude to the process of nutrition. The term anorexia nervosa means nervous ...

In the Confessions Book X, St. Augustine depicts the reality of confession on memory and cognition, continence, and moral vices and sin. Cognition can be defined as the process of thought or thinking. Memory can be defined as the process of creating, storing, and recalling information or experiences on a daily basis. This paper will consider the concepts of memory and sin, along with the possibility of moral transgression and the remedy of continence. The nature of the power of memory is evident when an individual travels through their memory by looking into its roomy chambers, with countless images ...

There is a great connection between literary text and history. Critics who deal with this issue have provided four answers. Firstly, critics argue that literary texts have no time limitations and they are considered to be the universal history. Secondly, literary texts are produced within historical context but due to their literariness they are separate from this context. Thirdly, different literary texts provide people with the opportunity to understand the time in which these texts are fixed. For instance, realist texts are full of imaginative representations of different historical events and moments. Finally, literary texts are connected with different ...

Is Happiness Really Happiness?

In his article, Life Satisfaction, Ethical Reflection, and The Science of Happiness, author Dan Haybron argues that being satisfied with one's life is necessary or rather important, but that it does not matter as much as one might think. Specifically, the argument is centered on the idea that happiness and its definition is varied depending on the individual. Moreover, another argument made is that what humans consider as happiness is in fact, satisfaction with life. This paper discusses Haybron's claims and whether there is merit in his argument.

Haybron continues by stating that most philosophical research and arguments have ...

Sr. Mary began her career as a nurse at the Mercy Hospital in Pennsylvania and she worked closely with people with chronic illnesses. Over the course of the history of nursing and specifically on the issues that touch on chronic illnesses and end-of-life care, the aspect of spirituality holds significant influence as to the development of the care plan (O'Brien, 2003).

In short, not everyone who experiences traumatic episodes is diagnosed with PTSD. It is really a situation that depends upon the individual. Some individuals, for example, can go through a traumatic episode and never experience symptoms of PTSD. At the same time, some individuals can experience what many would consider to minor stress related issues in life, yet encounter PTSD with a vengeance. When many people encounter a traumatic experience, they will feel sad, frightened, disconnected, or possibly anxious. These feelings are quite normal within the span of human emotions. For many people, these feelings will be short lived ...

Witchcraft can be defined as the use and application of magical powers typically obtained from sorcery or evil spirits in performing unbelievable things. Or it can as well be defined as the invocation and exercise of alleged powers which are supernatural in nature in controlling events or people with the involvement of magic or sorcery. Therefore, a witch can be described as an individual who performs these supernatural scenes. In most cases, the unavoidable element of witchcraft is the infliction of painful feeling to one party in efforts of satisfying the wants of the other party. These painful inflictions ...

Abstract

For a long time, the medical profession has subscribed to many ethical statements that have been developed primarily for patients’ benefits. As members of the medical profession, physicians should always recognize their actual responsibility of the patients, society, self, and other professionals. Adhering to the set principles of professional conduct is essential in acting ethically in the profession. The topic of physician-assisted suicide (PAS) is controversial in the American medial context. Physically assisted suicide and euthanasia are often used interchangeably. The ethics of these issues are squarely placed before the public eye. This paper focuses on the ethics surrounding ...

Pathophysiology

One of the most important parts of achieving the goal of being able to meet the patient’s entire healthcare (i.e. nursing) needs is to ensure that the underlying disease’s pathophysiology is well understood by all the stakeholder groups. These groups, in this case, would include the medical and healthcare practitioners, patients, and their respective family members. It would be a lot easier to instruct a patient to have a patient undergo a prescribed healthcare routine once he understands the nature of his condition, why each procedure is being done, and how they collectively contribute to the end-goal ...

Lebanon is the country that still hasn’t figured out its national identity yet - people suffered from terrible losses of Civil War, economic crisis and cultural shock. Since the cinema has always reflected the current situation in the country and has been a powerful way for the people to express their fear and dreams, social problems and anxieties. Lebanese cinema can’t be called an industry in a traditional meaning, because there is a small amount of Lebanese films produced every year. The country has a painful history, and in order to share each other’s stories and ...

Obsessive-compulsive disorder is a syndrome, the causes of which rarely lie on the surface. It is characterized by obsessive thoughts (obsessions), for which a person responds with certain actions (compulsions). Obsession is a thought or desire that constantly emerges in the mind.

The appreciation for the literary craftsmanship of Franz Kafka cannot be understated. In fact, according to one journal article’s assessment by Berthoff, “Lovers of literature are forever indebted” to the writer’s friend Max Brod, “who ignored Kafka’s ‘last request’ to destroy all his manuscripts and proceeded to edit and publish” some of his novels (499). Also at the outset it is important to recognize that the original language Kafka wrote in was German, although he spoke in Czech. According to the same source Kafka’s office writings had been informed by – or at least and influencing ...

I chose the era from 1941 until 1970. The period that can be framed with 1941 and 1970 is the time when the Second Great Migration of African Americans happened in the United States. Most African Americans travelled from the South to the North or to the northern part of either coast. Their destinations were chiefly big industrial cities so that they could be employed in industrial spheres. In their search for a better life, however, discrimination still haunted them in any part of the country back at that time. It was expressed not only in denial but also ...

The advancements in modern medicine in the last few decades are responsible for new treatment methodologies in treating deadly diseases. However, there are some areas of the human body that still remain a mystery. The human brain is one of the more complex organs and there is no forseeable outcome irrespective of the infirmity. The medical community faces hard choices whenever they encounter a difficult situation involving brain damage. The chances for recovery from a severe brain damage are slim. Hence, during such times, a hospital staff will request the family for consent to withdraw specific medical treatment or ...

Social institutions help retain memory, for instance, about a genocide. Events that happen during genocides have a painful effect in humans, bringing about a lot of suffering. Destruction of property, losing the loved ones, rape and other painful things happen during the genocide.

The family institution, government, education, media and religion are some of the social institutions that retain memory about significant events that happen. The capacity of these institutions to retain such memory ...
