Concepts in ethics

Grand theory is a category of nursing theory that is broad in scope and addresses abstract concepts. One such theory is the Self-Care Deficit Nursing Theory (SCDNT), developed by Dorthea Orem. The philosophy of the SCDNT is that people want to take care of themselves and that recovery occurs more quickly when they are allowed to care for themselves within their ability (Current Nursing, 2012). I chose this theory because I feel that it is important to help patients learn to take care of…

For Part 1 of this paper, I made a concept map on a Prezi that outlines the six main concepts of the class, the subparts of each concept, and applications to a classroom setting. The six topics, although all different aspects of educational psychology, interact and combine when applied to a classroom setting. Reflecting on my past experiences, I see how knowledge of each concept, both individually and in interaction with other concepts, can enhance one’s teaching. As I was teaching private…

steps, however these steps (four years of college, four years of medical school, etc.) are not the main focus. The main focus is the amount of time it will take for me to complete the journey. Overall, time and distance are tightly intertwined. The concept of time was highly prevalent in Alan Lightman’s novel, Einstein’s Dreams. As I struggled for inspiration for this project, I thought back to when I read the novel over…

predicting how the population engage in their own health behaviours, and the TPB by predicting actual behaviour. It is reported by Montanaro and Bryan (2013) that there have been various studies where the author has observed that there are identical concepts in each theory which are worded differently (Montanaro and Bryan, 2013). The HBM was initially developed in the 1950’s by U.S social psychologist to explain why the uptake of a free tuberculosis screening programme had failed. The HBM was…

explanations for individual’s choice to engage in certain behaviours deemed as risky and irrational. Lyng’s concept of edgework has been useful in understanding young individual’s choice to engage in high-risk activities. The term edgework was borrowed from a journalist named Hunter S. Thompson, who used the term to describe a variety of unruly human behaviours (Lyng 1990, 855). The concept was organised by Lyng into three separated elements. Firstly, for activities to be classified as edgework,…

Both novels provide proof that a novel does not need an overarching plot or continuous characters. Despite appearing as distinct parts or stories, the narrative becomes both clearer and more complex when the parts are joined. The rise and fall of each narrative, or their cyclical style, allows for a more in-depth theme to be more prominantently pronounced. These themes, mostly revolving around the characters in the novels, are emphasized by the disjoined parts in a way that a normal narrative,…

A). Perceiving objects in everyday aspects such as a living room with toys all over the floor, or a plate on the dining room table requires you to determine where the object begins and where it ends as you are measuring how much depth the item has (Gross, 167). You recognize the edges of each object as well as the belonging of each individual item to the tied environment. As infants grow up, they develop these abilities to be able to develop shadows to where the items edges are tied to the…

general knowledge is given using the classic tool of lecture using visual aids and examples there will still be questioned. With most students grasping concepts in art is a struggle due to the different way of thinking; giving students the opportunity to ask clarifying questions helps with their understanding. The students that have grasped the concept from the lecture can begin the next step in the journey to learn which is the ability to apply what they have learned to create something. This…

1. The central theme of this reading is: (Paraphrase as accurately as possible, but be sure also to indicate which chapters from the _Daodejing_ the ideas are coming from. Be sure to explain also why you see this as the central theme of the reading.) The central theme of this reading is the harmony of the universe with the Dao, in which opposites (yin and yang, heaven and earth, etc.), coexist together in order for the Way to be followed. Chapter one of the text begins by mentioning two…

of death and desire. His theory is strongly centered on opposition to the existentialist idea that our inevitable death makes our life meaningless. To begin with, Williams makes an important distinction of the nature of desire by organizing the concept into two distinct categories. A conditional desire is something we look forward to in the future or as we get older, if we have enough time to do it. However, conditional desires do not give a person purpose or meaning and it doesn’t reduce…
