...Unit 054 Principles for implementing Duty of Care in setting outcome 1 1. Explain what it means to have a duty of care? Duty of care in childcare settings means to keep children and young people safe, protecting them not only from physical harm but also from neglect, emotional and sexual harm and abuse. It is guarding the rights of the child in your care, as they have the right to be independent and to be treated with respect and dignity. This also includes respecting their rights, cultural beliefs and values of their parents and families. 2. How duty of care contributes to the safequarding or protection of individuals? In my role I have a duty of care to raise any concerns I may have about any aspect of my work. These can range from inadequate working conditions, poor equipment, and poor practice by other staff; to raising concerns about potential abuse cases and situations of neglect. It is my duty of care to safeguard individuals from harm. All employees should report any concerns of abuse they have. These might include evidence or suspicions of bad practice by colleagues and managers, or abuse by another individual, another worker or an individual’s family or friends. If I do not work in this way, I could be considered negligent or incompetent. If I am in any doubt at any time, I must discuss any issues I have with my supervisor / manager. Outcome 3 1.

The schedule change is mandatory has now been extended to include Sundays on a rotating calendar, which it is assumed that this conflicts with the religious belief in question which prohibits work on a holy day.

...description of the West Africans’ lack of wealth, different beliefs, lack of knowledge and violent disposition. Ca da Mosto seemed to believe that wealth indicates how civilized someone is and how honest they are. During his initial voyage to West Africa, Ca da Mosto speaks of how highly the king is regarded, how trustworthy he is and how fair he is. It becomes clear, however, that his perception of the king is related more particularly to his wealth which is the only thing that he constantly references. He mentions that the king, “paid royally for what was brought to him.”[1] He spoke of how the king promised to give him one hundred slaves in exchange for the goods he received and how the king gave him a “handsome young negress.”[2] During his trip to the king’s home, Ca da Mosto went to the local market. There, he observed that “these people are exceedingly poor.”[3] He based this on their clothing, the products they purchased and the fact that they only bartered for items because no one had any money. He was also unable to find any gold. After realizing the poverty, it becomes obvious that Ca da Mosto’s view of the country had completely changed from somewhat positive to negative. He decided to go farther up the river, “in the hope of finding better disposed peoples.”[4] Ca da Mosto constantly makes references indicating that the West Africans had strangely different religious beliefs. Their actual religious denomination is never stated but Ca da Mosto’s account...

...“The verification principle offers no real challenge to religious belief.” Discuss [35] The verification principle is a significant concept used by many philosophers in order to determine whether a religious statement is meaningful or not. This was highly influenced by logical positivism: group of 20th century philosophers called the Vienna circle and was then further developed by British philosopher A.J Ayer. Religious language refer to statements such as ‘God exists’ and ‘God loves me’. Whilst these metaphysical claims are often rendered as meaningless by verificationism, one must take into account the strengths and weaknesses. Ayer, in his first edition of ‘Language, Truth and Logic’ (1936), asserts that a statement is meaningful if and only if it can be verified by the sense observation or a tautology. By this he means that they are either a priori (before sense experience) analytic, where the predicate is entailed by the subject, or a posteriori (after sense experience) synthetic, where the predicate is not entailed by the subject. An example of a priori analytic statement would be that ‘all unmarried men are bachelors’ and this is also a tautology as it is true by definition. An example of a posteriori synthetic statement would be that ‘John is a bachelor’. For Ayer, if a statement cannot be verified in this way, then it is factually insignificant and thus, meaningless. He affirms that religious statements fall into neither category of priori analytic nor posteriori synthetic...

...Superstition “is a belief, half-belief, or practice for which there appears to be no rational substance.” People tend to believe that they have their own certain knowledge or evidence that supports religious beliefs or philosophical reasoning’s. This leads people into believing that they have more control than the reality and actuality of all situations and circumstances. Many customs that we take for granted as being a “normal” part of our culture have actually evolved from superstitious beliefs of the past. There are two examples that grabbed my attention the most out of the video. The first one being in 1948 American Psychologist BF Skinner reported some unusual animal behavior. He placed a succession of hungry pigeons inside a cage, where an automated machine delivered food to them at certain intervals. He observed that the birds started repeating actions that coincided with the delivery of the food. They acted as if their behavior was causing the food to appear but in fact the food would have appeared regardless of any action the birds decided to make. The second is the Magician compared to the Medium example. When a magician performs that magical work they put on, the question that normally rises is “What’s their trick?” Then when the Medium does likewise, the question transforms to a statement: “They must have supernatural powers”. In the middle lie uncannily accurate details about your life and relationships. In reality neither person possess anything more or less than...

...Valerie Valencia English 120 Professor Berger July 9, 2015 Comforting lies INTRO Superstitions date back to God's attempt to explain nature and his own existence. There was a deep belief that animals, nature and objects held a connection to spirits and the spirit world. In order to have a feeling of appeasing these forces, different behaviors or customs arose that would dictate a favorable fate and good fortune. Many superstitions have come from mythology, where omens were common. Superstitions live on because they have been passed on from generation to generation. Even today, where direct evidence and facts outweigh superstitious beliefs, there are probably very few people who can categorically deny that they do not at least secretly harbor a slight belief in one or two superstitions. CLAIM I grew up doing some crazy things, but to me they weren’t so crazy. There are many superstitions my family believes in that are among our Mexican traditions. It wasn’t until I was in my late teens that I realized my beliefs were indeed superstitious. Many of these beliefs come from deep in our roots and are still practiced in our family today. I realized the magic and also the chaos of believing in extreme superstitions. As I became older, some superstitions I became a firm believer of while others were to silly for me to continue to practice. WARRANT Many superstitions stem from the same human trait that causes us to believe in monsters and ghosts; when our brains can't explain something...

...Folk Beliefs: Its effect on adolescents Adsuara, Abigail Q. De La Salle University-Dasmarinas Abstract This paper shows the effects of folk beliefs to Filipino adolescents of the 21st century. The goal of the paper is to know the adolescents’ views and opinions about folk beliefs. The goal has been done by analyzing the information given by a certain number of respondents through an interview and online survey. Upon analyzing the information, the researcher concluded that most Filipino adolescents do not believe on folk beliefs but they have high respect on it because it is part of the Filipino culture. The paper highlights how folk beliefs can limit an adolescent’s view of reality to show the effects of it to human. Introduction Science and technology had already conquered this generation. Since the American liberation had conquered the Philippines many years ago, the Filipinos had started to drag themselves to a change that everyone thought will effaced the old traditions and customs. The Filipinos thought that the older generation’s ways can be absorbed by the technology that surrounds them. Tradition was being passed from one generation to the next.

...Delusions Between Religion and Religious Beliefs Glenn Watkins Park University 3 December 2010 Abstract This paper discusses the results a study conducted by Mental, Health, Religion and Culture regarding a qualitative study examining the relationship between religious beliefs and delusions. The paper discusses the definition of delusions as well as religion and makes a stark comparison between the two. The paper includes many different religions and how each claims having a monopoly to salvation. The study included white males from seemingly the same background who were diagnosed as having symptoms of delusions ranging from ages 34 – 57. The paper also discusses several theories as discussed in class regarding thoughts from Erikson, Sullivan and Fromm. Finally, the paper concludes with a brief historical summary of why the author has contention with religion and religious beliefs. Key words: Delusional, fanaticisms, capricious, analogous, and tantamount. When one person suffers from delusion, it is called insanity. When many people suffer from delusion it is called religion. - Robert M. Pirsig There is a close kinship to the relationship between religious beliefs and religious delusion. Merriam-Webster defines delusion as a persistent false psychotic belief regarding the self or persons or objects outside the self that is maintained despite indisputable evidence to the contrary; also: the abnormal state marked by such beliefs. Religion is defined as the...

...1. How are the names Goodman Brown and Faith symbolic to the meaning of the story? List two other symbolic words used and give your interpretation of them? First, the story of “Young Goodman Brown” is a story that is a symbolic representation of religious faith in our world. Therefore, in the story, Goodman Brown is a symbol of the everyday man or even mankind as a whole. He portrays the struggle that humans have in seeking faith and belief in a God or higher power that we as people sometimes try to strive to serve or obey. He is just a simple human being with both the capability for either good and evil depending on his choices throughout the book. Faith, on the other hand, is a representation of serenity or peace we have when we are holding true to those beliefs and not allowing the evil or doubt in our life to sway our belief in God. Faith is not based on what our eyes see or that we can confirm it is simply a belief that we have chosen to believe as true regardless of any evidence to the contrary. There are other examples of symbols used in this story. One of the other symbols is the pink ribbons used through the entire story. They can be seen as the human struggles that we have with faith. Sometimes we have faith, sometimes we struggle to believe, and sometimes we can no longer believe in it anymore and these pink ribbons are used to show that struggle within the story. The last symbolic example I will use is that...

...The primary research question that the paper is attempting to investigate is the relationship between superstitious belief and performance, in a situation where the individual has no control in and ultimately to analyse if such beliefs can either positively or negatively affect one’s performance in that situation. For Experiment 1, describe the: primary hypothesis, independent variable(s), dependent variable(s). The dependent variable is the variable that is being measured and it is dependent on other factors. The independent variable is not changed by other variables and is the one being manipulated. Within Experiment 1, the dependent variable is the amount of anagrams solved and the independent variables are the degree of superstition of the individual and amount of words contained in the puzzles. The primary hypothesis of this experiment would be that, a higher degree of superstition will lessen the development of learned helplessness, which will be achieved as an increasing degree of superstition will allow for an increase in amount of anagrams solved. Explain the difference between an experimental and a quasi-experimental design. Which of these terms would best describe Experiment 1, and why? The difference between an experimental and a quasi-experimental design is random allocation. In an experimental design the participants can be randomly allocated to any condition or situation. Whereas, in a quasi-experimental design the option of random allocation is absent, which...

...Judaism Introduction Judaism is an ancient religion that has an age-old history and tradition which was originally for the Jewish people. It is perhaps the oldest surviving monotheist religion in the world today. The two other popular monotheist religions – Christianity and Islam – being propagated today have so many of their beliefs and tenets borrowed or copied fro Judaism. Christianity is said to be an offshoot of Judaism since its founders and the early organizers who propagated the faith and spread its teachings during its early days were members of Judaism. The Arabian Prophet Mohammad who founded the Moslem faith was said to have copied or at least patterned some of the religious tenets to that of Judaism. Some of the texts in the Moslem Holy Book know as the Holy Koran are patterned or at least have some similar contents as are found in the Jewish Torah. The Christian Holy Bible contains both Old Testament which corresponds to the Jewish Torah and the New Testament. Brief History of Judaism The Jewish Religion, one of the oldest in the world today, spanned thousands of years – dating 4,000 years back. It is a religion with a unique tradition because of its monotheistic belief. The religion first started with simple act of worship and sacrifices to God by the Patriarch Abraham. The event of Abraham’s attempt to sacrifice his only son Isaac is well document in the Torah. From the questions Isaac posed to his father on why they had no lamb for sacrifice was an indication...

...inside of one viewpoint with a composed gathering of convictions with distinctive implications. Contingent upon an individual’s religious faith, this individual will rise above their convictions within their own power. There is no distinction amongst the natural and supernatural, and amongst beings and non-beings (Molloy, 2013). When an individual decides to practice a religion this can be of many choices, such as Judaism, Christianity, or Muslim. In Judaism religion, Jewish believe in Yahweh, Christians believe in God the creator of the universe, and Muslims believe in Muhammad a prophet from God. For a long time the practice of any religion has transcended above from era to era there are numerous practices, which occur today. The outside appearances of religions for example structures, artifacts, and rituals will illustrate how each religion contains their own attributes that differs from other forms of religion. Although, in some characteristics of worship, especially in the sense of spiritual occurrences all religions do share similar essentials in their faith that progresses beyond any individual’s everyday learnings, and it is impossible to be illustrated through language. According to Molloy “scholars that individuals ordinarily call religions manifest to some point following the eight elements” (Molloy, 2013). These eight elements are a belief system, community, central myths, ritual, ethics, material expression, and of course sacredness. Each element is practiced...
