a boy narrates the poem. He perches at the window”…seeing the snowman standing all alone…” in the midst of a winter storm. “The small boy weeps to hear the wind prepare/A night of gnashing and enormous moan.” Boy resents the cold night, as it hinders his play. The biblical allusion referring to the snowman returning a “God-forsaken stare/ As outcast Adam gave to paradise.”, gives the reader insight into the…

Patriot Pen American writer Joseph Campbell once said, “A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself.” The writer’s words taught me what it means to be a patriot. I have a handful of relatives who currently serve in the military, and even some that have passed due to war related incidents. It’s nearly impossible to find someone without a tear in their eye when a flag is given to the widow of a fallen soldier. That’s when you stop and realize that, that…

endure the pressure and look at my real motivations for becoming a therapist. I had to pay attention to my feelings of wanting to prove myself. This is a tendency that while it has helped me in the past with the challenges that I have faced, it could hinder the work I do in counseling. It could create scenarios in which I am over whelming my clients with the information because I want them to know my competence, and that I have done the work to be able to counsel them. This characteristic…

A heavenly perspective… “Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.” 1 Corinthians 15:58 (ESV). Life is easy and things are just humming along and life can seem to be great – but when life gets hard it easy to get discouraged. Oh, one can try to rebound by refocusing on ones goals, by doing a small duty of accomplishment. One can take one step to move forward, as to keep it all in…

From the readings and my own research of qualitative studies on these groups of students, international and immigrant students, to a certain extent, share some aspects of student experience in PSE in terms of language and cultural barriers, which may hinder student development and success. But, I would like to focus my reflection on immigrant student experience. As we have discussed during our first lecture, one story cannot represent the whole population in that group. Immigrant students from…

There is a broad understanding of social change which can start with one individual. As scholar practitioners, Walden students are charged with contributing social change to enhance society. As we go through our different degree programs social change is the one common basic denominator all students have in common. The tenants for social change according to Walden’s Task Force are knowledge, skills, and attitudes. The Task Force uses a matrix to map out the features that are parts of social…

activities. To add on why it is more important for children to engage in creative play, is because children need to choose activities based on their own interest. Rather than forcing them into random programs that are controlled by adults, which can hinder a child's…

Reducing Patient-related barriers to pain management Intro Pain is one of the most common symptoms of cancer, and one of the most challenging subjects for health professionals including Radiation Therapists to address when treating patients. It is important to recognise that pain is ‘an intensely personal experience with biological, psychological and social components’, which is entirely subjective to the person who experiences it. Despite the development of “novel analgesics and updated pain…

to society and other issues. Society cannot progress further if all peoples are instilled with the same ideologies because not only is it genuinely wrong to disingenuously personal a system of per-programed ideologies on students, but it could also hinder the next substantial breakthrough in science or medicine due to the individual being mended into believing that it is wrong to stray away from the ideologies of the…

to use abuse alcohol because they have more disposable income. Alcohol and substance abuse are serious diseases that affect millions of people, regardless of their socioeconomic status. Believing that addiction is only associated with poor people hinders American’s ability to view alcoholism and poverty as national problems. The media frequently perpetuates these negative stereotypes about people in poverty. Through news programs, poor people are often portrayed as lazy, substance abusers who…
