...Riley Goff Professor Reed HIST 1302 10 February 2015 “The New Colossus” Response Lazarus’s poem is important because it explains what immigrants faced when they came to the new world. The poem helps explain the feelings that immigrants may have had about leaving where they came from, compared to America. As well as, what they initially saw and felt as they arrived in America. The first line of the poem “Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame”(Lazarus 1) shows a difference between the Colossus of Rhodes and the Statue of Liberty. The Colossus of Rhodes was a statue that is debated between welcoming people to the trading harbor, or separates the island keeping invaders from entering the Greek island of Rhodes. Where as, the Statue of Liberty...

...Assessment Tools Analysis Cindy Hall NUR/440 August 15, 2011 Dee Martinez Assessment Tools Analysis Assessing physical measures of patients can often be a difficult task. However, there are several assessment tools available to health care professionals to guide them in providing the best patient care possible. Along with proper assessment tools, Watson’s theory of human caring plays an important role in the integration of the mind, body, and spirit dimensions of each patient. This paper will state three assessment tools that evaluate a patient’s physical measures, describe each tool and the population for which it may be useful, and state data about each tool. Such data may include cost, length, ease in using the tool, for what population it is best designed, and the validity of the information. A description of how each tool enhances the assessment phase of the nursing process and affects the quality of health care delivered by the nurse will be discussed. Each of these tools will be applied to a chosen vulnerable population researched from the Vulnerable Population and Self-awareness paper. The vulnerable population I researched consisted of the elder population. Mrs. James was my subject. She is a 65-year-old widow who lives alone. She has become socially isolated with little to no support system. She has two sons who live out of state and very rarely keeps in contact with them. She does not work and has limited savings. Currently she relies on social...

...Margaret Lazarus’ essay “All’s Not Well in the Land of the Lion King” details her opinion of the classic Disney movie. She states how she believes the movie is racist, sexist, and anti-gay. While it’s not difficult to see where she’s coming from, most of her points are far-fetched at best. The first major point Lazarus tries to make in the essay is that The Lion King is racist. She came about his idea with the hyenas living in the not so privileged area and the accent they have. She states that one of the characters has a Whoopi Goldberg accent. The essay that was wrote made it sound like it was a little extreme. After watching the movie with a better understanding. Many of the ideas that were discussed made sense. She gives many example to back up her ideas and some, but not all, made sense. While thinking about it, it is hard to believe that a Disney movie would have such a meaning. While watching the movie, it was easy to see where her ideas come from. When Scar and Mufasa were together...

...support. The World Health Organisation states that ‘Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity’. (WHO 1948). Stress can be defined as any type of change that causes physical, emotional or psychological strain. However, there are many types of stress and not all types of stress are harmful or negative. One theory is that stress is the result of a persons appraisal process. The assessment of whether personal resources are sufficient to meet the demands of the environment. Stress has been identified as being the individuals ability to adapt to the environment (Lazarus and Folkman 1984; Lazarus and Launer 1978; Pervin 1989). There are two types of stress response which Lazarus (1966) made a distinction between, these are psychological and physiological stress. Lazarus stated that physiological stress is a response to a physical damage already incurred whereas psychological stress is a response to psychological harm anticipated from cues that are interpreted as portending harm, this process involves continuous interactions and adjustments called transactions with the person and the environment, each affecting and being affected by each other. According to this view, stress is not just a stimulus or a response, but rather a process in which...

...Applying Watson’s Theory to Mind-Body-Spirit Dimensions Jean Watson’s theory of human caring is one that elevates nursing from being merely a clinical experience to becoming an intersection with the patient that affects the patient deeply in all three dimensions—the mind, body, and spirit. In order to achieve this three-pronged impact, the nurse must create caring-healing moments with the patient. As Watson (2006, p. 51) points out, “The whole caring-healing consciousness is contained within a single caring moment…Caring consciousness transcends time, space, and physicality—that is, caring goes beyond the given moment, and situation, and informs the future experiences of practitioner and patient.” Watson (2006, p. 51) contends that through these caring-healing moments, the patient’s human dignity is preserved, and the relationship between patient and nurse is marked by integrity. The application of Watson’s theory has resulted in remarkable successes in terms of healing patients, but it is problematic because of the difficulty in measuring intangible qualities such as mental and spiritual dimensions of healing. It is important for nurses to have access to assessment tools that can assist them in evaluating clients in various stages of health, illness, stress, and life so that Watson’s theory can be applied accordingly and its results can be aptly measured. Two such tools are the Spiritual Involvement and Beliefs Scale and the Hassles and Uplifts Scale. Each tool...

...COURSEWORK STRESS IN UNIVERSITY STUDENTS: Investigating problem solving coping, wishful thinking coping, anxiety and depression as predictors of coursework stress. ANN-MARIE ROY Contact: aroy11@caledonian.ac.uk COURSEWORK STRESS STUDY ANN-MARIE ROY ABSTRACT The aim of the present study was to investigate students’ perceived university coursework stress and whether the use of wishful thinking or problem-focused coping was related to anxiety and depression levels. The method of investigation was a four-part questionnaire. Participants were 81 Glasgow Caledonian University students. There were two hypotheses: 1) problem solving copers will score lower on the Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale. 2) Those high in perceived coursework stress and who reveal wishful thinking strategies will have higher anxiety and depression scores. A multiple regression revealed partial support for both hypotheses – problem strategies had no relationship to coursework stress but wishful thinking and anxiety were both positive predictors of stress; however, contrary to hypothesis 2 depression revealed a strong negative association with stress. The conclusion from this study is that wishful thinkers are also more likely to be anxious; problem focused copers are not anxious, depressed or stressed; stressed students do not suffer from depression. The last finding is possibly because coursework stress is a transient stressor not severe enough to trigger depression. 2 COURSEWORK STRESS...

...Emotions Shantia Ezekiel PSY/355 3 August 2015 Emotions Five theories of emotion try to give explanation to the interpretation for this occurrence; however this article will envelop the James-Lange, Lazarus, and Facial Feedback Hypothesis theories with a justification of the experimental and correlation research methods. Within a human beings motivation is emotion which is a vital aspect to personality and can make humans perform in a negative or positive way. Emotions influence all humans to motivate from internal or external dynamics. Emotion is defined as "a universal, functional reaction to an external stimulus event, temporarily integrating physiological, cognitive, phenomenological, and behavioral channels that facilitate fitness-enhancing, environment-shaping responses to the current situation" (Deckers, 2010). Emotions are shown by behaviors, physically and cognitively by facial responses. The change in emotions is what motivates human beings to do certain tasks. William James, Lazarus, and Carl Lange started a vast assortment of research to establish what behaviors are associated with motivation and arousal in human beings. William James and Carl Lange started the studies that were vital in discovering the explanations in behaviors concerning the arousal in human beings. Just about one hundred years later psychology studies from Cacioppo have conveyed explanations to how stimulus may make behaviors and behaviors may bring emotions. The theoretical experimentation...

...Core adjustment process of caregivers The adjustment process to illness situation is usually a process of coping (Lazarus & Folkman, 1984). That process comprises a sequence of different stages. People suffering from neurological disorders, such as dementia, often commence their adjustment process with an awareness of their illness and loss of function in their usual lives (Ownsworth & Gracey, 2010), followed by the stage of appraisal of what happens to them (Dröes et al., 2010; Finnema et al., 2000; Ownsworth & Gracey, 2010). The coping and adaptation stage is usually the next stage in the adjustment process of patients (Dröes et al., 2010; Finnema et al., 2000; Ownsworth & Gracey, 2010). There are different ways to conceptualize the stages...

...Question 2 A. 15th April, 2013 Canada Revenue Agency Dear Sir, I am writing this letter in response to details requested from Lea Lazarus concerning the details of transactions carried out in 2011 and 2012 as well as the tax treatment that was used for those transactions in the said same years. 2011 and 2012 Transactions Transaction details: 2011: Lea Lazarus owned 2,000 Class Z shares of Private Ltd. a CCPC at January 1, 2011. Lea had purchased these shares for $10 each in the year 1998 when the PUC was $5 per shares. Each of the shares was convertible into one Class Y share. Lea exercised her option on January 8, 2011 and converted 1,000 of the Class Z shares to 1,000 Class Y shares which had a FMV of $20 per share and a legal PUC of $8 per share. 2012: There was a mutual agreement conducted on June 28, 2012 where Private Ltd. redeemed 500 Class Y shares for $25 per share. Lea is the sole shareholder of the Class Z shares and also became the sole shareholder of the Class Y shares, which are not voting shares. Tax consequences: Under subsection 51(1), there is no disposition of shares. The ACB of the Class Y shares will be the same as the ACB of the Class Z shares, which is $10 per share. The 1,000 Class Z shares that have an ACB of $10,000 are converted to 1,000 Class Y shares that will have an ACB of $10,000. As a result of the conversion, the capital increased which resulted in a reduction in the PUC as per paragraph 51(3)(a). See details below...

...2000, p. 178). It is considered a form of counterproductive workplace behavior which is opposite to the organization’s interests (Hoobler & Brass, 2006). Abusive supervision is perceptual in nature and based on an individual’s subjective assessment (Tepper, 2001). That is, some individuals may view their supervisor’s behavior as abusive in one situation and non abusive in another. Furthermore, two subordinates may differ in their assessment of a common supervisor’s actions. When confronted with abusive supervisory behaviors, subordinates may be unwilling to admit that they have experienced abusive supervision by their supervisors, while others may exaggerate their supervisor’s hostility. Abusive supervision has a downward influence effect (Tepper, Duffy, & Shaw, 2001). A supervisor’s negative actions tend to “flow downhill” (Hoobler & Brass, 2006, p. 1125) towards weaker individuals. “Individuals rarely abuse targets who are more powerful than themselves” (Lord, 1998 as cited in Tepper et al., 2001, p. 974), “it is unlikely that abused subordinates will reciprocate by abusing their supervisor”...

...BIBL323 | Signs and Miracles | The Eight Signs and Miracles performed by Jesus Christ | | Sherell Andrews | 2/17/2013 | The eight signs and miracles Jesus performed and how each reveals his deity. | In the gospel of John there are eight signs and miracles that Jesus Christ performed; these signs and wonders are written so that you may believe Jesus is the Messiah and the Son of God. The first miracle stated in John was Jesus turning water into wine. He and his disciples arrived at a wedding celebration that was in progress. Mary, the mother of Jesus, came to him and told Him they ran out of wine; she knew he would find a way of getting more wine.[1] Jesus responded by saying his hour had not come yet. His mother had enough faith in Jesus and instructed the servants at the wedding to do what he ask them to do, He ask them to fill the water pots with water.[2] He miraculously changed the water into wine. This miracle is said to bring out new beginnings in the ministry of Christ. Many Scholars parallel Jesus turning water in to wine to his death and resurrection. You could explain it as a full circle in Christ ministry. John shows “Changing the water of Judaism into the wine of Christianity, the water of sins and being unsaved into the wine of eternal life in Christ and to be saved” [3] This miracle points to the deity of Christ in and the fullness of eternal life in Christ power over creation. The next miracles in the gospel of John are the healing of the...

...well-known “fact” that emotions do not belong in the workplace. Business literature for decades has reinforced the stereotype that emotions negatively affect the workplace (see, for examples, Taylor, 1947; Whyte 1956). Only recently has research begun to focus on the many facets of emotions on organization behavior (Huy, 2012; Kluemper, DeGroot, & Choi, 2013; Mirela & Iulia, 2013; Muchinsky, 2000; Perrone & Vickers, 2004; Zineldin, 2012). This paper will address several aspects of emotions in the workplace, including: managing emotions, displaying emotions, management styles that use emotions as a tool, and changing an organization’s emotional climate. Managing Emotions Of the five categories of emotions defined by Lazarus and Lazarus (1994, cited in Muchinsky 2000), only two of the three categories consist of positive emotions. Muchinsky (2000) hypothesizes that it is how we respond to emotions, our coping efforts, that “are a major contributing factor in understanding job performance” (804). Several factors can make some organizations ineffective at managing emotions. The first is due to coping efforts, which are “not just a fixed set of strategies…but a changing pattern that is responsive to what is happening” (Muchinsky, 2000, p. 804). For some organization where managing “fixed strategies” is already difficult, they may be ineffective at managing the complexity of emotional coping. Organizations experiencing radical change may also be ineffective at...

...study investigated the differences in the coping strategies adopted by male and female first year and fourth year students of public and private university. A total number of 120 students (60 male and 60 female), where 60 from public university and 60 from private university, age ranging from 17 to 23 years were selected as sample. Non-probability sampling technique and purposive field survey were used for collecting data. The Bangla version of the “Coping Scale” (Huque, 2004) was used for assessing coping strategies. Results revealed significant differences between males and females in terms of engagement in both adaptive and non-adaptive coping strategies. In addition, educational level and university type had no effect on adaptive coping but had significant effect on non-adaptive coping strategies. COPING STRATEGIES AS A FUNCTION OF GENDER AND EDUCATIONAL LEVEL 3 Introduction Many of us break down if they going get tough enough. We face many stresses, ranging from mild to intense. Although we all talk about stress, it often isn't clear what stress is really about. Many people consider stress to be something...

...SIGNS AND MIRACLES PAPER Liberty University, November 27th , 2011 Introduction “Jesus performed many other signs in the presence of His disciples that are not written in this book. But these are written so that you may believe Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and by believing you may have life in His name.” John 20:30-31 (HCSB) In the Gospel of John there are eight recorded sign miracles that Jesus Christ performed. This paper will briefly describe each miracle and how it reveals the deity of Jesus Christ. Turning of Water into Wine The first miracle Jesus performed was changing water into wine. He and His disciples arrived at a wedding celebration that was already in progress. Mary, the mother of Jesus, came to Him and told Him they had run out of wine, presumably because she knew that He was capable of doing something about the dilemma.[1] Jesus responded by telling her that His hour had not yet come. While scholars disagree on what Jesus meant by this statement, it is obvious that Mary, as a woman of faith, understood enough that she instructed the servants at the wedding to do whatever Jesus asked them to do.[2] Jesus did in fact direct the servants to fill six pots with water, which He then miraculously changed into a fine quality wine. “The changing of water into wine is surely meant to bring out the power of Jesus to bring about new beginnings.”[3] We might parallel the higher quality of wine that Jesus made from the water with the higher quality of life...
