Hi Peeps, Today's Quote "The Good Missions Act spotlights the Good Deeds of the many Wonderful Grandparents who are involved with the lives of their Grandchildren-- bridging the gap and filling in the missing information of family values, History, solid work ethics, and God's Commandments with vigor, enlightenment, excitement and experience. This is hard to do for the disobedient and inexperienced Missing in Action Grandparents." ` Jon Barnes Missing in Action There are many reasons why people are missing in action on their assignments, but the scope of this is not to address the excuses; we are focusing on the Actions. Grandparents who are doing the Good Missions Act are engaged, involved, inspired, and courageous to pick up the Cross,…
Raised From Scratch is such a meaningful book because the testimony of Thompson’s experiences offers two perspectives of hopelessness and hope in one. Yes, having been raised by his uncle and not his biological parents shaped him into the man he is today, but it did not make his transition as a foster youth any easier. Even though his invisible parents neglected him by prioritizing substances over providing Thompson with family and love, his uncle and mentors were able to provide him with a new understanding of those concepts. At the beginning of the book the author is pessimistic because of his foster youth identity, towards the end of his book the messages are uplifting and can help foster youth understand that it takes time and growth to…
In our world today, money is seen to be something that is needed to be successful or happy in life. People with less money tend to look up to those with more money in that way. In the short story, "Why, You Reckon?" Langston Hughes uses a colored man's point of view in a pre-Civil Rights Movement Era to show that even if someone has money, it doesn't mean they have a happy life. Money is the center of anything and everything today.…

assumptions must be valid or the study is worthless (Leedy & Ormrod, 2010). Creswell (2013) postulated four fundamental philosophical assumptions. Assumption 1: Ontological assumption: Concerns the nature of reality, that is, a view that qualitative study is assuming the notion of several truths, such as the use of several types of evidence in themes using the actual words of different participants and presenting different perspectives (Creswell, 2013). The ontological assumptions made for this study are: a). that SAHC leaders have differing perspectives and experiences in the way they manage challenges.…

Burns and Grove (1993:777) define quantitative research as a formal, objective, systematic process to describe and test relationships and examine cause and effect interactions among variables. Surveys may be used for descriptive, explanatory and exploratory research. A descriptive survey design was used. A survey is used to collect original data for describing a population too large to observe directly (Mouton 1996:232). A survey obtains information from a sample of people by means of self-report, that is, the people respond to a series of questions posed by the investigator (Polit & Hungler 1993: 148).…
Emily Dickinson is well known for her unusual poems, however during her life she wasn’t famous till after she passed away when her family started to find 1000’s of her poems stuff in tiny spaces all around the house. Dickinson’s writing wasn’t well understood during her time, she had a uniqueness that was ahead of her time; she had an amazing use of symbols, capitalism, themes and tones in her writing which make reading her poems so intriguing. While growing up she wasn’t the average women, she had her own thoughts and beliefs which is something I love about her which brings me to one of my favorite poems by her: “I’m Nobody! Who are you?” I 'm Nobody!…
Introduction Research is a systematic and scientific inquiry that exploits meticulous methods to answer questions and solve problems. The definitive goal of research is to develop, refine and expand the body of knowledge (Polit & Beck, 2004). Extensive research is essential in nursing to develop empirical knowledge that enables nurses to deliver evidence-based nursing care (Burns & Grove, 2010). Research is generally classified into three paradigms. Qualitative research, quantitative research and mixed methods (Creswell, 2013).…
While some consider this lack of relationship and contact between the researcher and the participant to be a weakness, others consider it as a positive because it allows the researcher to remain as unbiased and objective as possible (Carr, 1994, p. 717). Another strength is that from the randomised large scale sampling that is typically used; quantitative research results usually have a higher reliability and increased chances of being able to be more generalised than qualitative research (Carr, 1994; Liamputtong,…
