Original research

A very essential part of nursing is being able to understand the literature review and what it offers for evidence based practice. In regards to research there are primary sources as well as secondary sources. Both primary and secondary resources are vital to a good literature review. There are different types of primary and secondary sources that a nurse might use when preparing for a research project. Primary and Secondary Resources A primary source is “original information presented by the person or people responsible for creating it” (Schmidt &Brown, 2012). Primary sources always offer full references to others’ work cited information contained in the paper. Examples of primary sources for the purpose of research include journal articles, conference proceedings, book chapters, and journal articles. “Secondary sources are the resulting commentaries, summaries, reviews, or interpretations of primary sources” (Schmidt &Brown, 2012). Secondary sources are written following the primary sources report. Secondary sources are more often than not written by someone that is not part of the original work and/or event. Secondary sources can offer original insights or historical perspectives that were not offered in the primary source. Examples of secondary sources include general magazines, systematic reviews, biographies, and textbooks. Citing work from another writer does not happen…

Research Quote to use: the principles of justice are chosen behind a veil of ignorance. A short profile: John Rawls was born and raised in a small town of Baltimore, Maryland. Although his family was a bit well off, his childhood was strikingly marked by woe. His two younger brothers got infected with an infectious disease which he himself had previously been infected with, the brothers past away. Rawls dramatic sense of contumacy of prosperity may have been generated by this early childhood…

creation story, and the circular symbolism in the film will be explored. The world tree motif is used to underscore the film’s message that it is necessary for man to accept the natural laws of life and death in order to achieve wholeness. The world tree motif is first presented in the film through a quote from Genesis detailing the fall of man and the sin of immortality, laying the foundation to interpret a parallel between Adam and Eve and Tommy of the past, present, and future sequences. It…

severe financial pressure academic research institutions are facing as a result of losing funds. Nonetheless, halting thousands of innovative research projects with promise is unacceptable, especially when the research being performed is detrimental to keeping up with progress in our rapidly advancing age. The urgency of the scientists in “A Broken Pipeline” is absolutely justified, and I strongly agree that funds…

Every day millions of people sin. In the Divine Comedy Dante travels through nine circles of Hell, observing punishments caused by different sins. The more severe the sin that is committed, the more severe the punishment is endured. Throughout history famous figures, people in literature, and current celebrities, have committed these nine different types of sin. I will be placing these wrong doers in the different circles of Hell discussed in the story. Circle zero, otherwise known as Vestibule,…

is inclined to commit sin. It is clear to all of us that there is a considerable amount of evil that is unnecessary and that we can do without. This begs the question, is God sincerely omnipotent and wholly good if He allows the amount of evil in our world today to exist? We have never been subject to a world that is without sin so it is hard to imagine what it would be like. But based on the pure definition of God, He should be able to create a world wherein no evil exists. Living in the world…

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: (A discussion of Milton’s Theodicy in Paradise Lost) Mythology is a way for people to explain the unexplainable. From the Greek gods and mythology to the Biblical version of the creation, people use stories like these to explain how and why things happen the way they do. Milton uses the story of Adam and Eve to explain why terrible things like death, illness, and suffering occur in the world today. He uses the story to explain how God can be an all loving, all…

on earth, we would be worshipping God by taking care of and guiding nature, displaying healthy relationships between man and nature, between one another as humans, and between us and God. Consequences of the Fall The second foundational feature of human nature occurs after Adam and Eve fail to obey God in an attempt to be more like God, thus crippling their relationship with the Creator, “Dissatisfied with their humanness, the couple reached for godhood. In lusting after a throne that…

Among theologians and reformed Christians alike, the works of prominent authors such as Richard Mouw, John Calvin, Barbara Taylor, Nicholas Wolterstorff, and Eugene Peterson are all alike and contrasting in numerous ways. For example, we know that these authors share both common ground and indifferences on God’s Lordship over all, Christian worldviews, how the Gospel is presented in God’s Kingdom, and how grace is presented to every human and living being through the blood and sacrifice of Jesus…
