...Ethics Paper HCC/335 La’Verne A Love Professor Holly Martinez de Andino June 16, 2014 We are hearing all too frequently about End of life issues and decisions that family members are having to deal with because of not being prepared for when the time comes for a loved one. I will discuss more in depth the issues, problems and solutions to making this seemingly painful and undiscussed topic something that will help make it less painful and more important to do before the time comes. Death is something that is inevitable, it will eventually come to us all, some sooner than later and we should do all that we can to make it less stressful and painful to the loved ones we leave behind. Making these End of Life choices beforehand has always been considered a “taboo” of sorts because it’s just an issue that is never discussed. There is no said population that this matter should be discussed with because no one knows when they are going to die unless they are contemplating suicide and that’s an entirely different situation. End of life choices is a role that many of us may have to step into whether for ourselves or assisting our loved ones with them. “Only about one in four people have signed advanced directives that spell out their wishes if they’re unable to make medical decisions on their own, according to a 2006 report published by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press”. An advance directive includes two types of documents, a living will describes...

...No one could have guessed that a small town in northern Chili would have become such a hot topic in the news in August 2010. After a cave-in occurred in the San Jose mine, the story went national and everyone was reading about the tragedy across the globe. Thirty three people had been trapped underground and a fairy tale happy ending did not seem probable. Rescue workers started drilling holes in the area to reach the group when four days later another cave-in happened and the rescue seemed almost impossible. The group of 33 had no water, no food and very little oxygen and at the time there wasn’t any knowledge of survivors. The fate of this group seemed nothing but doom for 17 long days. Then finally the first contact was made. The rescue team finally made connection with the group and found out amazing news that everyone was alive and well, with no injuries. A small path was created down to the area where they were trapped and food and water was provided for the duration of their entrapment. Fortunately, after two months the entire group of 33 were rescued and all in good health. How was the media supposed to handle such horrid news? How were the families and loved ones going to be informed and what were the options of compensation for such a sudden traumatic event? People had so many inquiries of how long the timeline of the retrieval for the group was going to be. There were so many questions left unanswered. When dealing with a globally known situation, how does one handle...

...without a word. “People hit me, they cursed me, swore me, and I couldn’t do anything. They were too much. In a group of 30 people, 29 were against me”. A tear ran down his cheek. I couldn’t hear the voices and the noise around me. It was just the two of us. I took his hand and he calmed down. Not a word was said anymore. I just can’t believe. Is this the world we live in? Where people are abandoned just because of their sexual orientation? They remain the same person: kind, happy, calm, sweet, with their same characteristics. Or because they have a disease? We are not in the Middle Ages, science has developed a lot and almost every illness can be cured. This is not the problem. The really issue is that the people in cause don’t have the loved...

...Losing Loved Ones Kyla Jones SW Death and Dying Oakland University Abstract Death is something I personally think about a lot. I have not experienced much loss, but the losses I have experienced have affected me enough to the point of thinking about why people die at random times of the day. I have had a total of five deaths of family and friends in my 20 years of life. They have all been within a few years of each other but the first death there was a larger gap in between until the next death. The first death I experience was my Grandma’s best friend Kim, then my Grandma’s Sister Carol, then my great great grandpa, then my father and last but not lease my friend who was like a younger brother to me. Some of these had a major impact on how I view death and how I am when death is a topic of concern for most people. At the age of 20 I can say I am not afraid of death because I have accepted that it will happen to anyone, and if it is your time to go then God believes it is your time to go. I look back and wished I handled myself a little different when it came to certain deaths, but once I experienced a death of someone really close to me that was the one that really made me question what is the point of living if we are going to die anyways? But if I experience another death soon, I believe I know how to deal with it head on and be able to help the other people who are affected by it as well. I am very thankful for having people surround me and explain to me more so what...

...A Loved One Lost It was a quiet summer night and I was just sitting in my room watching TV. My fan was blowing refreshing cool air on me and it helped relieve me from the heat of the summer. It was also a little annoying as it makes a whirring noise, but despite the sounds it was still very calm and relaxing. My mom was in our computer room playing on the computer just as usual. My dad was asleep in his bed at an early time as he usual. My brother was downstairs in his room and everything seemed just fine. However, there was something in the back of my mind that I was thinking about that kept me from being completely relaxed. Something that I just couldn’t help but think about that made me a little less than relaxed. My grandma was having a double bypass heart surgery and I was a little worried about her. My mom and dad had both assured me that everything was going to be fine, but I couldn’t help but worry a little bit. She was my grandma after all and I loved her and she loved me and I didn’t want anything to happen to her. All of a sudden I heard “ring, ring, ring” it was the phone. I didn’t think anything of it at first, but then I thought to myself how it was kind of an odd time for a phone call because it was a little late. Luckily my room is right next to our computer room, which is where my mom was. Also fortunate for me, the walls aren’t very thick and my mom has a loud voice so I could hear everything that she was saying. However, I didn’t know who she was talking...

It is also important in determining how individuals cope with the stress that can potentially limit their emotional relationships, decrease their efficiency, and reduce the pleasure of life. The main purposes of this study were to consider the concepts of emotional intelligence and stress, and to conduct an applied study of the relationship between these two variables. The nurses who worked at some of the private and governmental hospitals in the province of Ankara were studied, and this present study identified a significant relationship between emotional intelligence and stress.

...has written many different poem, though he is mostly known for writing mocking and satirical poems in his Hudibras, which were based on the English Protestants. The poem “She was too kind” was written in 1901 after Ms. Eliza Savage’s Death which portrays the feeling of regret and how he ill – treated her. Literary criticism theories such as Marxism, feminism, new historicist and many more, helps the reader to interpret and understand the text. New Historic theory is used to look at the history of the poet and the critic itself to understand the meaning behind the poem. Tragic love is the theme of the poem, and it shows the reader that love was not fulfilled between the two people. One did not accept the love of another. One can consider that “She was too kind” is the greatest poem ever because when one understand the history of the poem between the poet and Eliza, it can be determined that the poet used imagery, repetition and alliteration to convey the tragic love between Miss Savage and the poet himself. New Historicist theory developed by Stephen Greenblatt is another tool that can be used to interpret what the poem is about. The poet’s history and the critic’s history is intertwined as it is about Samuel’s love life. The poet was married to a woman named Ms. Morgan Herbert, who was a widow. When Samuel returned to Britain from his trip to New Zealand, he met Eliza Savage in person. Even when he was in New Zealand, he used to submit the chapters to her for approval. A year...

One example of literary devices is personification, which gives non-human things human-like qualities. An example of this is in Bradbury's story The Veldt when Bradbury writes , "Until this day, how well the house had kept its peace. How carefully it had inquired, "who goes there?...

...Choosing between a Skilled Nursing Facility Or Home Health Care for your Elderly Loved Ones Kelly M. Skawienski University of Phoenix While a facility, like a nursing home, is a good option for extreme care of the elderly, most cases show that living in their own homes, surrounded by familiar people and things can promote better health and wellness. While working in the health care field I have worked in both fields; a Skilled Nursing Facility and Home Health Care. Some important points to consider in choosing which option is best for you or your loved one are the cost; how much is it going to cost for each of these two options, services provided; what help will you be receiving for your money, flexibility and freedom of accessibility; having friends and family visit and being able to travel, go for a walk, and last is the comfort of the client or patient would they do better in a sterile environment or in their own home. The cost of a Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) as most already know can be expensive. The average cost is more than $50,000.00 a year and climbing, and it will vary widely depending on where you live (Long Term Care, 2012). Your employee health insurance does not pay for a SNF, so about one third of the residents pay from their own funds. This can eat away at their savings very quickly, most people run out of funds after six months. Five percent of people have purchased long term care insurance which will cover the cost of a SNF (Long...

...this could happen to them, and if it did, we are left to wonder. Would we do what he did? In the beginning the movie viewers saw who the main character is, and who his family is. This tells viewers why his pain runs so deep. As the movie progresses we are not sure how he is doing but, we are rooting for him to get every bit of revenge. At this point, the movie goes into a little less realistic tone, but you do not care because you are with him one-hundred percent. Along with the action and suspense, this film offers a little twist that makes you say to yourself “that is how he did it”. This is where the viewer’s understand some of the reasons for events that took place, that were not made clear at the time. While I loved the movie because of the plot, the script, wonderful acting, and of course the psychological part of it was the best. I did not like the ending; it left me feeling as if someone had gotten one over on me. Law Abiding Citizen was set to take place in current times, and in a society much like our society. This likeness is one of the aspects of the movie that keeps you focused. It shows that there are parts of our culture that needs to be altered. When the guy that he was after got a plea bargain. It shows that our legal system has become in some...

... I. Appearance a. Before kids b. After kids II. Frequency c. Before kids d. After kids III. Experience e. Before kids f. After kids Conclusion It’s Not About Me Anymore My experience with clothes shopping changed seemingly overnight. One day I’m thrilled to find myself at a mall, the next day I dread going to any place that sells clothes. What was the reason for this sudden change? I married a man who already had two children; Kevin was seven and Haylie was five when I met their father. I became a mother, overnight, to two rapidly growing children. What I knew as shopping was no more. Before I became a mother, I loved going to the mall. I would spend hours getting myself all dolled up; who knew whom I might bump into. I made sure I looked perfect; my belt matched my shoes and my shoes matched my purse. My stylishly coifed hair glistened in the sunlight. After Kevin and Haylie came into my life, the sunlight never got to see my stylishly coifed hair. Instead, my tresses never saw the outside of a bun. The time that used to go towards my own appearance was now directed toward my children. I had to make sure the little ones were appropriately dressed for the weather. The same amount of time was taken to get ready; the focus was just a little different. The outings to the mall were few and far between before I had kids. Once every couple of months I would make a day out of it. My time was spent trying on clothes and...

...When i first saw the cover of the anime one piece i thought to myself that well, the art isn't that fantastic and the storyline dosent seem all that interesting since i wasnt much into the pirate theme. The search for one piece, i thought it was going to be all indiana jones atmosphere. But when i actually read the manga boy i realized i was extremely wrong. Truth be told the first episode did not interest me much, what kept me going was this new concept of devil fruit power that i had not seen in any other anime, well ofcourse i wouldnt..that would be a copyright infringement i guess.

...My name is Grizz Bear. I am covered with dark brown hair, I have four large paws, a wet nose on the end of my snout, and hazelnut colored eyes. I live in the Yellowstone national park near a riverside in a cave. I spent most of my time in my cave, coming out only when I am hungry because I am too lazy to do anything. If I didn’t have to eat, I would sleep for days. One day, I felt especially hungry, so I came out of my den to search and hunt for food specifically salmon. I ran to the river to catch some fish. Standing upright by the side of the river, I took a long hard stare into the water. Soon enough, I saw a fish and it was hunting time .I jumped on the fish, and caught it. But then, I thought, “This is too small a fish to fill my stomach and it is not even salmon. I must catch a bigger fish that is salmon.” So, I let the small cat fish free into the water and waited for some time, till I caught another fish. This time too the fish was small, but it was salmon. I thought to myself, it looked so big in the water but this small fish would not fill my plump belly. The fish flew out of my hands and struggled for its breath in the water....

...They would patronize the women by stating remarks like “women are used to worrying over trifles” (Glaspell 242), and “but would the women know a clue if they did come upon one?” (Glaspell 243) proving that the men thought they were superior and more intelligent than them. The word “Trifle” is seen as the insignificant little things that woman tend to worry about. Throughout the story, the audience can see that while the men are supposedly looking for “real” evidence upstairs, the women keep finding “trifles” downstairs. Among the first findings was a birdcage which when the men saw they just shrugged it off and completely ignored it. On the other hand, the women were concerned about the presence of the broken birdcage and where the bird might be. While discussing about the birdcage, Mrs. Hale states “She––come to think of it, she was kind of like a bird herself. Real sweet and pretty, but kind of timid and¬¬¬––fluttery. How––she––did––change.” (Glaspell 249) illustrating that Mrs. Hale was comparing her to the bird (trapped in a cage and all alone). After talking about the birdcage the two women moved on from the subject only to come across an old box at the bottom of a sewing basket. Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters had found an old box that contained a dead bird (whose neck had been strangled) inside; it was the one piece of evidence that proved Mrs. Wright was guilty. Not only did they find evidence against Mrs. Wright, but they also revealed how violent and cruel Mr. Wright could...
