...get less of. Such a wrong perceptions that is, it is the most stressful time in your lifespan. Types of Stressors in the Elderly and Possible Solutions There are things you think of again like you did when you were young but it becomes more important and for different reasons. The elderly spend their time thinking of how they will maintain shelter over their head, financial income, food, medical attention and support from the community. It’s apparent that the older we get our health declines along with our mental capabilities. Because of that fact it is imperative that we try as a whole community try to lesson some of that stress by starting new programs for seniors. Perhaps they can have an adult daycare in the area to assure the families that there are facilities there to keep the seniors living with less stress. I imagine they would have resources like places to apply to live in senior communities and set up some type of food program that brings the seniors food for breakfast, lunch and dinner. They would also have the setup of having medical attention brought to your very own door step. The government is getting better about passing medical laws to assure a better plan for the seniors. They are first giving them option to get medical coverage and then they are now devising plans that are reasonable either you can go see a doctor or the health system can come to you. Depending on your disabilities, there are more stressors that affect the seniors and some are very...

...introspection along my personal life journey, I understand what drives me and ignites my true passion. To me, nursing is considerably more than a profession—it is, in essence, a calling. I chose nursing to make a genuine difference in people’s lives and discovered along my path that nursing has profoundly impacted me as a human being. I believe that you must persevere through life’s trials and tribulations to attain your authenticity. To be an impactful leader in your life’s profession, you must understand the many and subtle nuances of the self. This self-awareness guides your professional presence as a human caring for your patients in a touching human way. Your everyday life experiences influence who you become in the future. Once you discover what inspires your soul, and you are expressing your truest self, your gifts of influence and guiding presence will shine through. Larry Dossey, MD defines the history of medicine into three models of healing spanning three eras of time. (Dossey, n.d.) Widespread beliefs about health and illness in the medical community during Era I in the late 1800’s were primarily focused on the physical body versus conquering the root cause of disease. Medicine was thought to be wholly scientific and mechanical in...

...Brand Communities: For the love of Brands Smack took a long look at some of the world’s top brands and found the most successful businesses all have one thing in common: a loyal following of everyday consumers. Consumers that form vibrant and loyal communities around a brand, what Smack calls Brand Communities. This white paper is designed to give you a general introduction to the Brand Community, and the benefits and philosophies of Brand Communities to your business. The Changing Consumer If you think that the introduction of the Internet into popular culture was a world changing event, you really haven’t seen anything yet. Right now, as you read this, the very fabric of the Internet is changing. Never mind the billions of web sites currently in existence. Never mind the boundless libraries of both old and cutting edge information all readily available. The Internet has become more than that, it has become a tool that facilitates the most basic of human needs: a tool for conversation. Through blogs, message boards, and sites like MySpace, Facebook, YouTube and Flicker, people are now engaging in conversation with countless others. Engaging others with similar interests. Sharing opinions, photos, news, videos, and taking note of new ideas. People now have networks of friends they have never physically met, networks that surpass international boundaries, all with many shared interests like childhood buddies, music, and more.

...gambling, alcohol and narcotics, and pornography. These activities, though always controversial, represented major influences in the state with some enterprises at times holding legendary status. The legal status of the individual activities has fluctuated substantially over time. Additionally during some periods individual communities and public officials have been accepting of many of these activities, even when they were illegal, because of corruption, because the activities were seen as inevitable, or often because the activities were economically important. Early Texas and the Republic of Texas Before the arrival of the European settlers in Texas, the plant peyote (peyotl in Nahuatl) had become a popular hallucinogenic among tribes in the Rio Grande Valley as well as parts of West Texas and Chihuahua. Tribes in the area included the Carrizo Coahuiltecan and later the Lipan and Mescalero Apache, and even the Karankawa and the Caddo tribes. The plant came to be used for both recreational and ritual usage. Its hallucinogenic effects were regarded with suspicion among the Spaniards and the drug was never widely used outside the Native American communities. Gambling was a popular pastime in many parts of early Mexico...

...further vilified in the press. Public relations is meant to establish a company’s image in the minds of the public, and without any word from the company itself, the public had only a one-sided view that was presented by those who were against the company. This created a very bad public image, and caused a scramble to re-establish the company as a community store. Should Wal-Mart have done more offensive work in rebutting the statements made by its critics sooner, I believe that their image would not have suffered as much as it did. 2) Did it make sense to base a new public relations initiative on a management company audit and recommendations? I believe that this was a good move on the part of Wal-Mart executives to outsource the audit. The company was already viewed in a bad light by the public, whose minds had been filled with the criticisms of those opposed to Wal-Mart. Many of the accusations made centered on unethical policy-making and there was already an overall mistrust of Wal-Mart executives. Any type of audit of a company should be done so as to confirm the good policies and practices of a company that is not biased, and should be done by a third-party who does not stand to profit in any way (other than payment for its services) by a favorable outcome. This was a move to show the public that the company was not afraid to “open its books” and make its practices open to review by...

...Introduction: Throughout the course and the topics we have learned and discussed, we realize that the importance of being an inspiration to nonbelievers. There are many factors that can help influence one’s mind and bring the non-believers to know Christ. In this paper, I am going to share the importance of three topics that I feel are most important in bringing others to know our lord and savior. The three topics I will be alliterating today are: why personal testimonies are so important in sharing the gospel. Another topic I will discuss is as a Christian, The importance of how he or she lives her life. Also I will be discussing the importance of local churches sharing god’s love to the community and how they can improve on this issue. Topic One: Why are personal testimonies important in sharing the gospel? Personal testimonies are important in sharing the gospel because every individual is a unique person in god’s eyes. Everyone has a different story to tell and in your story, Jesus’s name is lifted and exalted. While giving your personal testimony, it is important to speak to the individual as a person and not talk down to them as if you are better than the person or judging them because your beliefs. The bible says in Romans 2:1 “Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself: for thou that judgest doest the same things” (King James Version). We as Christians do not have the right to judge...

...next semester. But the Humanities Honors program is four consecutive classes that enhance your knowledge and brain. It is not a regular average class that the professor does not know your name and does not even care about your learning. This complex program contains three compassionate professors that are kindhearted with their work and students. The knowledgeable professors contribute their time and dedication to teach their students of to care what is most in human of us. It was the beginning of my first semester in the Humanities Honors Program when the lecture on Socrates inspired me. It caught my attention when I read Socrates’ quote when he indicated that “the unexamined life is not worth living.” I examine my life by thinking about where I’ve been, how I got here, and where I’m going. There are so many questions going through my mind, but I don’t have all the answers. I believe that I have some sense of where I belong to the universe and have the context for understanding how all the elements fit together in my life. There are people that avoid leading an examined life. These people are ignorant and cannot look into the issues around us. I believe that we need to open our eyes and take the time to examine the world and our lives. When you set aside time to examine your life, you can explore new possibilities. Also, you get to set your goals, choose your destination, determine your path, decide how long it will take, decide whether you are on the right or wrong path, and...

About 10 years ago I started to coach kids and adults to sing and express themselves through music, as I realised music has the power to change your mood from negative to positive and really aid in the healing of the mind, body and spirit. So I continued to coach and began gaining lots of new students. Each year we would gather everyone, all ages and cultures together and put on a concert for the local community, often raising funds for people in need. This would be a great goal for each student to over come their fears and anxieties, putting emphasis on helping others. The concerts have all been successes, I'm pleased to say and new relationships formed amongst performers and in the community - it's a really feel-good vibe, where everyone is a winner whatever ability. So, I've been teaching from a very...

...Parables in Society What is a parable? A parable is a short story or a brief tale that is told to illustrate a religious, moral, or philosophical idea. About one third of Jesus Christ’s recorded teachings are in the form of parables. Jesus frequently used parables as a means of illustrating profound, divine truths. Stories such as these are easily remembered, the characters are bold, and the symbolism is rich in meaning. Parables were a common form of teaching in Judaism. Before a certain point in His ministry, Jesus had employed many graphic analogies using common things that would be familiar to everyone (salt, bread, sheep, etc.) and their meaning was fairly clear in the context of His teaching. Jesus told many parables during his ministry that really spoke to the people that he was ministering to and also gave them something to think about as well. I want to know something though; have you ever thought about the parables Jesus told and the fact that they could be true for us today in our society? Have you ever thought about how these parables can be examples of homelessness, inclusion, missionaries, and many other things in our society and how we can learn a lot from these parables? The parables that Jesus told were not just for those whom he personally taught. His parables are part of his gospel and are therefore for all peoples throughout all nations and throughout all time. When he said, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to the whole creation” (Mark 16:15)...

Throughout the bible you can read that we were put on this earth for the glory of God and strive to give Him glory. God created us all to fulfill his eternal plan and defeat Satan. God created us in His image and He has given us a choice of freedom. We can choose to give into the unearthly things of this world or give glory to the only Holy Spirit which is God. In Romans 12:2 it is said, “do not conform yourselves to this age but transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and pleasing and perfect”. God put us on this earth so we could follow his will, by putting our faith in God completely and defeating Satan and his lies. BACKGROUND Paul is the author of the book of Romans, and the date of composition was between 57-58 C.E. The book of Romans was one of the most significant and influential theological letters written because of it pertaining to the “righteousness of God”. Although, it is much debate over whether it is righteousness which God bestows on persons on the basis of Christ’s work, or meaning the righteousness of God is the activity...
