The purpose of Leininger’s theory was to obtain knowledge and understanding of various cultures, comparing their similarities and differences, and appropriately integrating these factors into nursing care (Leininger, McFarland, 2006). The goal of culturally competent care and cultural congruence in practice is to aid in the maintenance or restoration of health and wellbeing, as well as other stages of life such as death and dying (Leininger, 2007). It is through the Culture Care theory that…

which similarities vs. differences and strengths vs. weaknesses between findings, methodology, relevance, supporting evidence and theoretical perspectives will be demonstrated. From previously conducted research on the basic directed forgetting paradigm, it has been inferred that two distinct methodological procedures exist for participants used in directed forgetting study. Firstly, the item method; which involves demonstration of individual words…

Modernization theory, which is one prominent model of development conceptions. Modernization theory is a developmental process of progressive evolution from traditional society to a modernized society. This theory also referred to as the dominant paradigm considers the internal factors of a country and presume that with assistance from developed countries, poor countries can become modern with the same approach that more developed countries have used.

Learning theories are central to the discipline of psychology, therefore, impossible to separate the history of learning theories from the history of psychology. Learning defined as a lasting change in behaviours or beliefs that result from experience, the ability to learn provides every living organism with the ability to adapt to changing environments (Skinner, 1938).

results in a new ending. Rather than reading and re-reading the Genesis story, she would prefer a new story be written inspired by human action. The Pope, of course, cannot give up Genesis but he is advocating for a new ending to the story. For the Pope, reconciliation can only be achieved through an “ecological conversion” experienced by all citizens of the planet. For Christians this involves “examining our lives and acknowledging the ways in which we have harmed God’s creation through our…

questions list would reinforce that these measures are taking place by getting to know each other and working as a team to answer questions on the list. The article also states that team inclusion “requires us to know our own paradigms and to be inclusive of other people’s paradigms” (“Skill Deficiencies in Diversity and Inclusion in Organizations: Developing an Inclusive Skills Measurement”). A questions list would help us with this because in order to find answers as a team we need to uses…

Looking at music from that perspective shows how music can be identified as a narrative. A theory developed by Walter Fisher called narrative paradigm explains that all communication is a form of storytelling. In each story, there is a beginning, middle and end, conflicts, and eventually resolution. The fidelity and coherence of each story is what keeps it credible. All musical…

All great institutions grow from a single idea. Only after a strong foundation of beliefs, visions, and values is built can a structure hold its strength. It only takes the minds of a small group of people to build an establishment. The people behind any creation are called founders. The field of occupational therapy has seven original founders, including George Barton, William Rush Dunton, Thomas Kidner, Eleanor Clark Slagle, Susan Tracy, Susan Johnson, and Herbert J. Hall. They all had a…

genre is not as famously noted for is the thematic paradigm it introduces for other genres to later imitate and create what are now known as disguised westerns. Real-life westerner Buffalo Bill Cody said, “I stood between…

Finally, let me briefly discuss about the theoretical implication of the cosmopolitan publics that I have employed to analyze the Japanese experience of the global Sixties movement. As discussed, the concept was to capture cultural and communicational aspect of the social movements that cuts across the national border. If resituating this concept within the literature of global and transnational sociology, first of all, it was intended to focus on the aspects that have been neglected in the…
