However, it is not only physical things that are changed by time. Ideas, languages, and entire cultures differ when compared to their beginning. Rational outlook changed over time, adapted by different cultures and their views. Jackson J. Spielvogel tells us rational outlook is unique to the west. Within the west, rational outlook is seen from the Hebrews through the Scientific Revolution, and changed due to the different norms and ideas of each culture. Rational outlook is analyzing a thought or situation, and adapting it to best fit a specific lifestyle. The Hebrews started the idea of rational outlook. They lived for many years without a definite political ruler, living under God’s law. God chose judges to rule instead of a...

...Kenneth Blake Ms. Bowles Intro to College Writing 1310 All Is Fair In Love And Glue At a very young age my father used to always tell me “Ken, justice isn’t just.” In my younger years I just assumed that this was just another drunken quote coming from an intoxicated man so I paid the phrase no attention whatsoever. Maybe if I had believed him back in my younger years then I wouldn’t have been so hurt when I found out how true his words really are. As the weather slowly but surely changes from the comfortable temperatures of spring to the blistering hot and terribly humid weather that Memphis, Tennessee is known for, every kid in the school system starts to smile through the sweat because of one thing: miserable weather means that the school year is almost over and that the much awaited summer vacation is about to begin. This being noted even the daily sweat stains and frizzy hair can’t stop everyone on campus from enjoying this wondrous time of year. One of the best things about school this time of year is that the teachers are ready for their two months off just as much as the students. Years ago at my former high school the science department started a tradition to do class projects near the end of the school year that would count for a test grade. Although I’m not sure if the projects were for educational purposes or just because the teachers simply got lazy, I’m for sure am not going to be the one to complain about easy grades and fun classes. As I walk across the...

...XXXX-XXXXX XXXXXXXXX RECOGNIZING AND ACTING ON CLINICAL DETERIORATION Assignment NUR2100 Due date: April 29, 2013 Computer word count: 1,913 XXXX-XXXXX XXXXXXXXX RECOGNIZING AND ACTING ON CLINICAL DETERIORATION Introduction Nursing has always been a profession that embraces diversity towards rendering holistic patient care. However, with the constant changes in nursing practice; patient safety has been at risk due to nurse’s competence towards detecting impending patient deterioration that may lead to further complications or even death. It is said that the most important practical lesson that can be given to nurses, is to teach them what to observe (Nightingale 1969). Having the ability to observe and interpret critical situations are the essential key features applied in clinical practice. Effective observation of ward patients is the first step in identifying the deteriorating patient and effectively managing their care (Odell, Victor & Oliver 2009, p. 1993). Studies have shown that poor vital sign recording, lack of knowledge, failure to respond to abnormal signs, lack of knowledge, lack of supervision and failure to report deterioration or seek advice, have all contributed to the suboptimal care of ward patients (Odell, Victor & Oliver, cited in McGloin et al. 1999; McQuilla et al. 1998; Smith & Wood 1998; Hodgetts et al. 2002, p. 1993). With constant observation established, patient safety is implemented and surveillance is then incorporated to be able to...
