Whether one decides to believe in fate, destiny, free will, or anything else, one thing is always true: people make choices. Every day we make choices. They can be small ones, like choosing to tip five percent more at a restaurant or choosing to wear a green tie over a blue one. But many of the choices a person makes are larger than these, choosing a field to major in, or choosing a spouse, perhaps. Clearly, our choices are important because they determine our character and future, but they are also important because many, if not all, of our choices, directly affect others and the people around them.…
The books Your Medical Mind by Drs. Jerome Groopman and Pamela Hartzband and Happiness in a Storm by Dr. Wendy Harpham discuss two different approaches to medical decision making. Medical decisions are not only decisions patients make in life or death situations but also the mundane decisions patients make routinely, such as whether to ingest an allergy pill. In our technologically dependent age, patients face many challenges when attempting to make the best possible medical decision for them. For example, the media, internet, disagreeing experts, and even personal anecdotes we hear influence our decisions by instigating or hindering us from picking a certain plan of treatment.…

These filters are based on Baxter-Magolda’s (1999) theory of Self-Authorship, which explain the concept of by listening to the external, such as family or teachers, and following formulas based on what these external factors expect. As an individual moves through Baxter-Magolda’s (1999) stages, they begin to think and perceive the world according to their internal foundation. As the positions are explained, it is critical to consider how external and internal factors…

I noted the way B.L.’s eyes lit up as she talked about her children or her accomplishments and how she looked downcast when talking about her health. It usually happened when she performed her life review. According to David Haber, life review is a structured evaluative process where one looks at their life events and finds meaning in those events. Haber added, “A life review is typically structured around one or more life themes, most often family themes—ranging from one’s own childhood, to the experience of being a parent, to being a grandparent; and work themes—from first job, to major life’s work, to retirement” (Haber, 2006). The difference between life review and remembering is that a life review is a comprehensive view of one’s life…
