...From the very beginning of my service as an Army chaplain at Ft. Stewart, Georgia in August 2009, I noticed that the soldiers worked hard on physical fitness including cross fit, running and P-90x; however, very little training was being provided to help equip the soldiers mentally and spiritually. After serving two years at Ft. Stewart, I was deployed to Iraq, and shortly after I returned from deployment, I received orders to go to San Antonio Military Medical Center to train as a clinical pastoral education student for one year. It was there, in performing my pastoral work, that I began the process of looking more deeply within myself about my calling and my purpose. There I was seeing sickness, death of patients, babies, lost limbs, and...

...in America today. The use of cribs didn't occur until the 19th century, prior to that all parents co-slept with their children. Manufactured formula did not find it’s place on store shelves until 1951 and became the primary choice for feeding America’s offspring by 1958, because of the convenience. Additionally, the Cry-It-Out (CIO) method of encouraging babies cry themselves to sleep at night did not appear until 1895 in The Care and Feeding of Children written by Dr. Emmett Holt. Ultimately, parents reverting to the natural instincts of attachment parenting methods are solely focused on developing a relationship with their offspring where the baby is more trusting, parents feel more confident, and the relationship experiences a greater sense of...

...The attributes of spirituality include: hope, inner strength, trust, meaning, purpose, forgiveness, belief, faith, values, love, and morality (Royal College of Nursing, 2011). A component of connectedness is also found in literature review, describing a connection with oneself, a higher power or supreme purpose (O’Brien, 2013 p. 81). This connectedness can be vertical, a relationship with a higher power or horizontal, the relationships with others and the environment. Activities such as touch, prayer and presence are used to demonstrate connectedness. It is shown that these attributes may lead to a deeper meaning of life as demonstrated in the following case...

...“A sense of belonging arises from a connection with people and places” An individual’s sense of belonging is a fundamental aspect of one’s life as belonging emerges from the connection between people and places, whether a bodily place or a non-existential place. The poems by Peter Skrzynecki, ‘10 Mary Street’ and ‘Feliks Skrzynecki’ highlights the idea of belonging in a way that depicts the sense of connectedness of various people in a cultural community and a physical place. The poem, ‘Feliks Skrzynecki’ refers to how Peter Skrzynecki’s father felt like he belonged to his garden hence making his son, Peter Skrzynecki felt like he did not have any connections with his father. The poem uses various techniques to depict the feelings of the persona towards his father. The quote “further and further south of Hadrian’s wall” in line 58 is a metaphor as it represents the fictional barrier between the persona and his father. Hadrian’s wall was built centuries ago to keep opposing forces away from each other, not exactly that the persona opposed his father, but it gives the responder a context on how distant they were from each other, as if there was a wall that separated them hence making it hard for them to try to build a relationship. The effect of the metaphor is that it allows the responder to understand something similar such as when the poet tried to compare the Hadrian's wall as the barrier between son and father. This quote gives the poem a sense of disconnection between...

...B. ALFRED ADLER proposed an Individual Psychology Theory of Personality Basic Principles of Classical Adlerian Psychology Alfred Adler (1870-1937) developed the first holistic theory of personality, psychopathology, and psychotherapy that was intimately connected to a humanistic philosophy of living. His lectures and books for the general public are characterized by a crystal clear common sense. His clinical books and journal articles reveal an uncommon understanding of mental disorder, a deep insight into the art of healing, and a great inspiration for encouraging optimal human development. Adler's essential principles are as follows. Unity of the Individual Thinking, feeling, emotion, and behavior can only be understood as subordinated to the individual's style of life, or consistent pattern of dealing with life. The individual is not internally divided or the battleground of conflicting forces. Each aspect of the personality points in the same direction. Goal Orientation There is one central personality dynamic derived from the growth and forward movement of life itself. It is a future-oriented striving toward a goal of significance, superiority, or success. Self-Determination and Uniqueness The goal may be influenced by hereditary and cultural factors, but it ultimately springs from the creative power of the individual, and is consequently unique. Social Context As an indivisible whole, a system, the human being is also a part of larger wholes or systems--the family...

...Rooms within rooms create the feeling of multiple layers or multiple worlds within the image itself. The kitchen, significantly lit and obviously well used, throws light into the middle room. A flower-covered candle chandelier illuminates the scene at the table and small pieces of detail on the walls. Two statue-like people sit at this dining table set for four, forever still and silent in a moment that presents a bewildering mystery inquisitively explored by the viewer. There is a moment of connectedness between the viewer and the photograph. At first glance, the photograph is an experience, a signifier of what the camera has seen and what the artist intended the viewer to see. The viewer establishes a correspondence with the work - a moment of recognition of something both outside themselves (the photograph) and something within themselves (the repressed). These repressed memories surface as a mnemic trace that is both projected onto the work, and perceived by the audience. The correspondence between the viewer and the artwork allows the memory created by the work to be retained even after the artwork is no longer within visual perspective. This correspondence allows the viewer to remember what they want to see, and not the memory of...

These traumatic situations include such as losing a loved one or getting our hearts broken. Traumas, according to many individuals, disrupt daily life which can either leave mental or physical scars. With the trauma, come the side effects. One significant side effect could be the loss of human-connectedness or self connectedness. Human and self connectedness refer to the way an individual detaches themselves from their own body and mind. Many times we feel as if we are not in the right state of mind and basically proceed to forget our...

...Critical annotated bibliographies Bibliographies v annotated bibliographies A bibliography is a list of references used in an assessment task, presented in alphabetical order, listed according to the authors’ surnames. Different referencing conventions, eg Harvard, APA or Footnotes, have different style requirements, so check with your teacher / lecturer, or a librarian for guidelines. An annotated bibliography though gives an overview and can also include a critical evaluation of the source. The length may vary a great deal from a couple of lines to a paragraph and these are normally written in full sentences. However you may encounter some annotated bibliographies that use brief and incomplete sentences when word limit and conciseness are particularly crucial. Content People who read annotated bibliographies want to gain from the experience of the person who has already read and used the book. At the minimum, they want a summary of the contents. However, they may also want the bibliography writer’s critical evaluation of the book or article. They may want to know: • • • • • • • • the strengths and weaknesses of the source its place in and relationship to the wider field of research how it adds to the research of the field if the information is sound, logical and well researched if it is readable and informative if it is broad and balanced the intended audience the aims and philosophical or theoretical bases of the source.

...The University of Tennessee defines workplace diversity as “inclusion of things, people, and places that are different.” There are many diversity issues in the workplace today. Among them are: race, gender, sex, disabilities, religion, job title, physical appearance, sexual orientation, nationality, multiculturalism, competency, training, experience, and personal habits (Definition of Diversity, 2011). A diversified workplace ensures that employers and employees change with the world. Furthermore, a lack of diversity in the workplace creates a sense of isolation for those who are affected by this lack of diversity. Additionally, if a lack of diversity exists, isolation will also exist in the workplace. I feel that isolation in the workplace is the single-most damaging source of malcontent that exists in the workplace today. Josh Greenberg (2005) in his article, “Diversity in the Workplace: Benefits, Challenges and Solutions”, states that diversity not only involves how people perceive themselves, but how they perceive themselves to others. He states that those perceptions affect their interactions. His article suggests that a diverse workforce feels comfortable communicating varying points of view, which in turn provides a larger pool of ideas and experiences. The organization can draw from that pool to meet business strategy needs and the needs of customers more effectively. Companies that encourage diversity in the workplace inspire all of their employees to perform to...
