...(Christ). The comparison and contrasts of Buddha’s and Christ’s teachings, birth, and death can show us the linkage and disconnections between the Eastern and Western religions. The similarities of Buddha and Christ's’ existence began with their mothers’ mysterious births. Before the mothers’ conceived their baby, they had a dream forth-telling their child’s life mission. This quote shows Christ’s understanding of who he is at such a young age within the church, “Why were you searching for me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father’s house?” Unlike Christ, Buddha was sheltered from...

...think about economic hardships and emotional difficulties. After reading this book it broadened my perspective on how to look at poverty. It’s not the first time that I hear about mental, and spiritual rules. However, I never imagined that knowledge of hidden rules was such a great contributor to poverty and education. I did not know about the hidden rules that exist behind poverty and the educational system. Payne (1998) mentions “There are street rules and there are school rules. Each set of rules helps you be successful where you are. So at school, laughing when being disciplined is not a choice. It doesn’t help you be successful. It only buys you more trouble. Keep a straight face and look sorry,...

...Ma. Francesca S. Ronario Entry to United Nations Academic Impact Student Essay Contest “No matter how complex global challenges may seem, we must remember that it is we ourselves who have given rise to them. It is therefore impossible that they are beyond our power as human beings to resolve. Returning to our humanity, reforming and opening up the inner capacities of our lives, can enable reform and empowerment on a global scale.” Daisaku Ikeda wrote this quote as words of wisdom and looking into the quote marks the challenge and the truth of global citizenship. Our world is consisting of 150 countries and covers diversity of nationalities. Languages, culture and tradition are the factors that prove that our world, the Earth, is diverse in the line of people. I do believe that the problem of a certain country is a problem of the world and the success of a certain country is the success of the world. What the world needs is unity, equality, solidarity, prosperity and getting people to start carrying out, acting and performing like Global Citizens is the only way to accomplish this. Executing our roles is what the world needs and what the humanity needs also. We have a duty to protect each other as humans. We have a duty to take charge of our life and other people’s lives despite diversity in race, language, nationality and citizenship. Citizenship is about the state of being vested with the rights, privileges, freedom and duties of a citizen. It is a state...

...Eleanor Roosevelt, who's name at birth was actually Anna Eleanor Roosevelt was born on October 11, 1884 in New York City, New York. She was born into a life of privilege even though she lost both of her parents by age 10. She went to live with her grandmother in the Hudson River Valley which is located slightly north of New York City where she was born. She also attended a boarding school in England. Her school teacher there was said to be a radical feminist, wanting to teach the girls at the school they had a place in society. She was teaching them to be leaders. Most believe that is why she stood for so many amazing things when she grew older. When Eleanor was 18 she met her fathers 5th cousin Franklin Roosevelt, a Harvard graduate, at a New Years reception. It was hosted at the White House by Eleanor’s uncle, President Theodore Roosevelt. They fell in love and were engaged almost immediately after they met. Despite his mothers attempts to break them up, Eleanor and Franklin were married in 1905. They had six children together over the next 10 years. When Franklin got polio in 1921 Eleanor began working in politics and charity. In 1933 when Franklin became president she saw the office of first lady as a way to expand on the work she had previously done....

...WHY SHOULD THE ABSENT PARENT PAY CHILD SUPPORT?? Shakira Gibson Week 10 Mrs. Fergie Tuesday C Did you know that there is over $100 Billion in accumulated unpaid support owed to over 18 million children in the United States, according to the Federal Office of Child Support in the Preliminary Statistics in 2003 (streetdirectory.com, 1). Introducing my body paragraphs, I will be addressing why absent parents should pay child support, the effects of the children, and the struggles of a single parent. If the parent is present or not they should support their child/children. The government currently spends $500 million dollars per year chasing payments from absent parents, of whom 95 per cent are fathers (Rowena Mason, Telegraph July 13, 2012).If you are not taking the necessary precautions to prevent from bringing a child into the world, then by every means necessary you should help contribute to the care of that child. There is no excuse as to why you cannot get a job or a hustle to help out. I know that some people have ego's the size of a globe or their pride gets in the way of them getting a job at a restaurant, grocery store, mall and etc. However, when you bring a child into the world all of that should be put aside to help with the financial support of your child. The child did not ask to be here, you made the choice to bare responsibility for that child. If both parents are doing...

...distress and promoting healing can be achieved by provider education and respectful care. Health care professionals of differing faiths than their patients must look inside themselves and use how they would wish to be treated as a model for caring for others. Health Care Provider and Faith Diversity: First Draft As the world grows smaller each day those working in healthcare may find themselves caring for people of many diverse faiths and beliefs. Acceptance of these beliefs first requires understanding and empathy so that the health care process might be seen from the perspective of different faiths. The following paper explores this author’s findings regarding the spiritual components that affect healing within Sikhism, Baha’i and Jainism and what similarities and differences a Christian care provider might find. Spiritual Perspective Those of the Sikh faith have few constraints about combining modern and traditional medicines. They believe that the will of god will prevail regardless. Though life is held sacred from the moment of conception and after death a person may get closer to God through reincarnation. “Meditation on God is the medicine to cure millions of illnesses” (Guru Granth Sahib Ji, 866) Baha’i is a relatively new religion and yet it draws its teaching from prophets such as Abraham, Mohammad and Buddha (Ehman,...

...points are definitely much better than those of the dogmatic CBCP. Does it change my stance on the RH Bill? I am always for education and for informed consent. Dr. Manalo provided information on why some contraceptives are health hazards and I have always been against birth-control pills and the IUD. I have always believed that, as a birth control device, the condom is the most safe and effective contraceptive device. And if one claims that life begins at fertilization, condoms should be morally acceptable because it prevents fertilization, right? I’m against with that of RH. Bill. How come the Philippines are one of the poorest countries in the world! Is RH bill can help to lessen the poverty we are facing? Common people make up your mind. The problem is not the issue of over population, the government should do things to help those unlucky people like the poor ones, give them a job in order to sustain their needs. If my opinion at all can reach your community, I really feel my role as a mother bringing my humble experience rose in a poor surrounding in San Miguel, Quiapo can contribute “a no-agenda” lesson except stand on truth you may want to hear.

...inductions will be focused on. A scheduled induction is defined as using artificial methods to start the labor process at a specific time. Inductions are performed for many reasons. In most cases scheduled induction are performed because of medical complications to the baby and/or mother. In healthcare, there has been an increase in incidence regarding scheduled inductions related to convenience for the mother as well as for the doctors. To better understand the complexity of scheduled induction the history has to be addressed. What is the reasoning behind changing the natural birthing process? This paper will explain the methods of induction: pharmacological vs. mechanical, and the indications thereof. Nurse’s play a key role in labor and delivery. They have to be prepared to address and treat their patients’ condition, as well as be knowledgeable on the contraindications of this delicate process. A mother also has to be aware of the benefits and risks before a decision is made to schedule an induction. Having a baby is said to be one of the most joyous moments of a parent’s life. Nurses can have a major impact on this occasion and it can be a good one by making sure their patients are always informed through teaching and continuous monitoring. Introduction All I could...

...Douglass explains many of his and those of others around him experiences within the institution of slavery. Many were physical but the ones that held on to a person were the emotional hardships. Douglass encountered many hardships not only that he had to get through, but that of others who were oppressed, and had to overcome that tribulation. An example of that is when Douglass witnessed his Aunt Hester being punished by Mr. Plummer who was the overseer. Douglass states “He made her get upon the stool, and tied her hands to the hook. She now stood fair for his infernal purpose. Her arms were stretched up at their full length, so that she stood upon the ends of her toes. He then said to her, ‘Now, you d----d b----h, I’ll learn you how to disobey my orders!’ and after rolling up his sleeves, he commenced to lay on the heavy cowskin, and soon the warm, red blood (amid heart-rending shrieks from her and horrid oaths from him) came dripping to the floor. I was so terrified and horror-stricken at the sight, that I hid myself in a closet, and dared not venture out till long after the bloody transaction was over” (Douglass 45-46). Hardships were very common when it came to the slaves. Another hardship that Douglass witnessed was that of the old Barney and young Barney; they were a father and son. Their job was to take care and tend to the horses, stable, and carriage house. They had many hardships because they never knew when they were going to receive a punishment. “Everything depended...

...“What a great example of how science (cochlear implants) is working to make the world a better place!” (Cooper-White). I do not believe this quote was at all intended to be offensive but it can be interpreted as such. While discussing the “miracle” the cochlear implant is considered to be, it is implied that Deaf people are an inconvenience and that they are broken and need to be fixed. Deafness is not a disability, a disability is considered to be a physical or mental condition that limits a person's movements or activities. The ADA (Americans with disabilities act) goes on to add that a disability “includes individuals who do not have a disability but are regarded as having a disability”. This means that disabilities are not necessarily a set concept rather it is largely influenced by the attitude towards whatever “disability”. People that are Deaf have become a proud culture, refusing to consider themselves handicapped because they can do anything any hearing person is capable of besides hear. The Deaf culture in America begins in the nineteenth century when French Deaf educators, Thomas Gallaudet and Laurent Clerc, came with the...

...This quote from Marie Von Ebner-Eschenbach is obviously derived from the stance of a wise adult past the impetuous years of youth. One might argue that our mental development seems quite backward when relating it to teenage perceptions, if viewed in hindsight as an adult armed with knowledge gleaned from the ever-patient teachings of experience. It seemed like the less I knew as a callow youth, the smarter I thought I was. In contrast, as the years have passed and the more I actually have learned, the more convinced I am of how little I know. Along these same lines of thought, it would seem to many, when dealing with teenagers as an adult, they listen the least when it would benefit them the most; and in turn, talk the most when it benefits them the least. Each generation of teenagers seems to feel its generation is unique, and even superior, in its experiences and perceptions. Especially in this age of incredible technology, on many levels this may be true. However, on a developmental level, wisdom can only be acquired through the rigors of experience and time. This paper will detail an interview I had with one such teenager, a sixteen-year-old male named Dylan. This interview’s focus was to garner some thoughts, perceptions, and feelings about some of his experiences, both past and present, as well as some insight into his future. I will supplement Dylan’s relayed information from this interview with some comparisons and perceptions of my own in relation to my remembered...

...Isabella Tugman Dr. Carano English 225 14 February 2009 England 1945-1970: Rebellion and Revolution The period of time from 1945 to 1979 marks an age of sexual and cultural revolution in Great Britain. England, run by a holy monarchy formerly outfitted with a pompous attitude of status and mannerisms, as of 1945 would be defied by its youth. Immigrants flocked to England, laws enabling sexual freedom were passed in Parliament, new and absurd fashions mocked tradition, and music was played in rebellion. England was no longer to be ruled by the upper class; the working class began its reign. Social groups broke out and took on new identities, much to the dismay of traditional Old Englanders. As David Christopher stated in British Culture: an Introduction, England was about to become “a multi-ethnic country with a plurality of identities and heritages” (1). England was regarded internationally as a place of high desire at this time; people of all races flocked to England to chase dreams of education and success. An educated Englishman, in their minds, had superior status, so they sought to become educated in England themselves. Such is the case with the man who came to visit Adah’s village in Second Class Citizen. Buchi Emecheta wrote of Adah’s dream; “She made a secret vow to herself that she would go to this United Kingdom one day. Her arrival would be the pinnacle of her ambition” (16). However, the arrival of new cultures was met with disapproval from the traditional...

...BUDDHISM By Heather Alexander Dr. James Wilcox World Religion 06/06/2012 I want to first give a little background on how the Buddha came about and how Buddhism came to be. The Buddha is said to be born the son of a king. Many scholars have tried to pinpoint his birth. It is believed that he was born around 563 B.C.E. There are other sources that suggest that it may have been a century later that he was born. His given name was Siddhartha Gautama. For the next 30 years or so it is believed that the prince lived a very sheltered life. Somewhere around his 29th or 30th year he decided he wanted to see the outside world. His father was extremely against it. He wanted to protect his son from the outside world. His father finally agreed and sent out troops to remove all of the old, sick, and ugly from the route that the prince would take. According to legend he took a total of four trips out of the grounds. On each of his outings he seen one of the “four sights” that his father tried to protect him against. The “four sights” are said to be a bent old man, a dead person, a sick person, and renunciate. After coming home for the final time he decided that the life he was living wasn’t what he really wanted. Siddhartha set out on a long journey trying to find what it was that he felt was missing .He wandered around for 6 years taking whatever food was given to him. At one point he was surviving on a grain of rice and a drop of water for the day. He eventually decided...
