...Introduction Serving the Christian community is the mandate for service that comes directly from Jesus' teachings. In Mark 9:33-34, we are told that the disciples were arguing about which of them was the greatest. Jesus response to this was that "If anyone wants to be first, he must be the very last, and the servant of all." Jesus Himself lived an exemplary life in serving others .In John 13, Jesus began washing His disciple's feet to demonstrate that even though He was Lord and Master, His role was also to be a servant to all and one must serve to be like Him. When He was asked what the greatest commandment is, Jesus said; that the Greatest is to love God, and the second is to love your neighbour as yourself (Matthew 22:34-40). The reason why serving the Christian community is so important, it has to do with the nature of God. In 1 John 4:7, as well as in other places, we are told that, "God is love." In verses 20-21 we are told the impact. "If anyone says, "I love God," yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen. One must note that, if we have authentic love for others, then serving in the Christian community would become appealing. Overall, the reason for serving the Christian community is because through His love Christ gave His life that we might be able to live with Him and He wants us to share that love with others by serving in whatever ways we can.Mother Teresa states that: ...

...THE FUTURE OF NURSING Future of Nursing Future of Nursing The education that was taught to nurses up and well into the 20th century is no longer valid for dealing with all the health care issues in the 21st century. The American population is growing older and more diverse with cultural, social-economics, race, ethnicity, and religions. There is a larger shift in the nation’s health care needs for the 21st century. Health care issues today have many chronic conditions such as, arthritis, hypertension, diabetes, cardio-vascular diseases, many mental health issues, and increasing obesity levels in the old as well as in the young. The registered nurse with a higher education will be able to function in unpredictable and complex situations. The registered nurse with a baccalaureate is able to demonstrate flexibility and critical thinking. The old, tired way nurses have been educated will be replaced with advanced learning in community-based, multidisciplinary patient care delivery system of the future. Nurses will no longer be in the back seat due to lesser education, but will be seated side-by-side with other heath care disciplines making educated decisions, quality improvements, and have great system thinking skills. The higher educated nurse will have great team leadership skills. Nursing education was primarily taught for health care challenges of the early 20th century. Education for nurses leading into the 20th century was the basics of keeping patients...

...certain temperature for storing vaccines. If a vaccine is stored in an area that is too hot or too cold, it can lose its ability to help people. Another major factor in the proper handling of vaccines is how it is actually given to people. Most vaccines are injected into the upper arm, leg, neck, or buttock with a needle. Every time a new shot is given, a new needle must be used. A new needle must be used, because otherwise it is unsanitary and diseases from one person could be spread to another person. Parents believe many different myths when it comes to shots, but most of them are false. Many parents worry that the vaccinating their child will cause long-term problems. A lot of parents believe, according to Matthew F. Daley, that, “the growing number of vaccines all assaulting the immature immune system all at once can cause complications” (Daley). This fear was easy to prove false. Vaccines do not harm the developing immune system; it actually helps it grow faster. Not vaccinating children can cause the immune system to develop slower leaving children more susceptible to...

...“Why Universal Health Care Should Be a Go in America” Why Universal Health Care Should be A Go in America Americans should be eligible and, offered Universal Health Care as economically less developed and more under privileged countries have access to this benefit. Why? Because, I think our government should be more concerned and is more than financially capable of being involved with the well being of this countries health and people. I choose this topic about health care because this is a more personal topic for me. Recently, working in the health care field I have had the chance to see what less privileged families and individuals who are seeking proper health care but unable to receive it due to financial hardships have to suffer. I just believe our country of most should be able to assist our countries people and health benefits better based on American economy today. I believe some of the energy that is put into the economy and environment around us should be just as important as the lives of those who keep the entire environment thriving. Our entire economy is based on the lives and each of us getting to work and school and keeping the economy fit and going, without us there is no economy there is no country. Growing up and being able and privileged enough to live in other countries where Universal Health Care does exist and seeing how it puts much less stress on the people in the country, and the country’s economy. I don’t believe the fear of raised taxes should...

...In conclusion, despite many different living conditions and upbringings. Both April and Janice have a hard time accepting their identity due to the influence of society's racism against them and their own internalized racism. To April, being Indigenous was the worst thing that had ever happened to her. Growing up in poverty and seeing how it affected both herself and her parents made her believe that assimilating her Indigenous blood would be the only way for her to be accepted into the superior white world. Janice never being around native people and their community/environment caused her to never give the stereotypes a second thought. Seeking to learn more about her native heritage, when faced with the truth, she runs away. She struggles to reconcile her identity with the truth behind the systemic oppression present in their government. Their stories tell us the truth behind the impact of the prejudices in our society and the struggle with identity in the face of discrimination at a young age. The insights given show us the themes of race, oppression and identity that are not only present in the books but in the real world right...

...and good practicing Catholics. This automatically puts me in a middle class family or made my statues a little higher than so many people whose parents are not educated. I consider myself fortunate and that is mostly why I am always humble in life. I was born in the eastern part of Nigeria; the westerners and the northerners make up the rest of the population. Nigeria is the largest country in West Africa; most of the people are farmers and could not afford to go to college and at least get a formal education. In my culture, not many people could afford to go to a hospital for health reasons. Instead, more people rely heavily on herbal medicine, which is part of our tradition. Some people use modern medicine depending on what their families could afford. Growing up in the mist of both traditions, I have learned to practice not only one but two of them respectively. I believe that one’s heritage or culture is a practice no one can afford to forget because it is embedded into our lives. Living in America for seventeen years now, I still use herbal remedies. For example, when I notice signs and symptoms of the common cold I will quickly make herbal soup, which contains different spices and herbs. This is a common practice in my culture. Is very effective due to our belief and is considered the first line of defense to attack the cold virus. I could choose to continue using that or...

The team will then identify potential solutions, explain the success of the solutions, provide additional solutions for treatment or resolution, and finally how the P.E.R.I model guided the understanding of the problem and its causes. Currently no method of testing is available to accurately diagnose CFS. Physicians go through a process of elimination to rule out other causes of the symptoms. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), characterizes Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) as a debilitating severe fatigue that is not made better by rest and is worsened by physical activity. Those who suffer from CFS will have prolonged exhaustion (24 hours or more) following physical or mental activity (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2012). CFS can lead to other debilitation co-morbidities including Fibromyalgia and severe headaches. Chronic fatigue syndrome is affecting communities nationwide. The disease is affecting roughly 1 million Americans and public health is researching to help decline the risks to communities. Chronic fatigue syndrome and the effects of chronic disease on communities is growing, and with out a cure it will continue to have effects on communities.

...me a better Christian. II. Part One: Canon The word Canon is Greek for a rule, and its meaning can be translated as “measuring stick.” (Praxis, Gutierrez and Etzel, 2012, pg 53) The Canon of scripture areis the accepted books of the Bible, thatBible, which is to be a tool for Christians to allow the Holy Spirit to measure them by spiritually. This “Measuring stick” is the instrument that shows our Faithfulness or lack of, our Obedience or lack of, our Conduct , our Sight, and our hearing by the word of God. The canon is the infallible word of God, His instruction to us and communication withcommunication with us that we understand what and how he expects us to live. The Measuring stick of the Old Testament was hard for anyone to keep, because no one is without sin, we understand that God made provision for us and that now we are not measured by the law (Canon) but by our Faith, God’s Grace and our Purpose in Him. God is our measuring stick for our spiritual as well as natural lives, because it is according to grace through our faith that we receive the blessings of Abraham, and though we were yet sinners Jesus came and died for us that we might have the right to eternal life. “For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put my laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God and they shall be My...

...Imagine a cherry tree in full bloom, its roots sunk into rich earth and its branches covered with thousands of blossoms, all emitting a lovely fragrance and containing thousands of seeds capable of producing many more cherry trees. The petals begin to fall, covering the ground in a blanket of white flowers and scattering the seeds everywhere. Some of the seeds will take root, but the vast majority will simply break down along with the spent petals, becoming part of the soil that nourishes the tree — along with thousands of other plants and animals. Looking at this scene, do we shake our heads at the senseless waste, mess and inefficiency? Does it look like the tree is working too hard, showing signs of strain or collapse? Of course not. But why not? Well, for one thing, because the whole process is beautiful, abundant and pleasure producing: We enjoy seeing and smelling the trees in bloom, we’re pleased by the idea of the trees multiplying (and producing delicious cherries), and everyone for miles around seems to benefit in the process. The entire lifecycle of the cherry tree is rewarding, and the only “waste” involved is an abundant sort of nutrient cycling that only leads to more good things. Best of all, this show of productivity and generosity seems to come quite naturally to the tree. It shows no signs of discontent or resentment — in fact, it looks like it could keep this up indefinitely with nothing but good, sustainable outcomes. The cherry-tree scenario...

... 5/7/2014 Euthanasia The purpose of this research paper is to prove that the process of euthanasia is wrong, it is against the natural and moral end of human’s life , and the most of all , it is unethical. Euthanasia from Greek: “good death” or “mercy killing”, is the practice of ending of life intentionally to relieve intractable problem of suffering. There are plenty of ethical issues to discuss, regarding this one. Proponents of euthanasia consider that death filled with suffering is wrongful and bad death. That is why these people are for legalization of euthanasia. On the other hand, opponents( including my person) of euthanasia would say that any deliberate effort to cause death is wrong and against eternal law ( God’s law). Ethics and morality, basically state the same to many people and they mean exactly one. For Instance, morality refers to personal character, belief and behavior, ethics is the reflection on morality with that person’s actions and his /her professionalism. When we say an ethical person or a moral person, that is the same meaning. Very often, in or common life we can hear both terms like medical ethics or bioethics, they both describe the same and have the same meaning. These are the guidelines that we expect medical...

...Did You Know: The Black Nazarene The procession of the Black Nazarene is a commemoration of the wooden statue’s transfer (traslacion) from a Recollect church in Intramuros, Manila, where it was first enshrined, to St. John the Baptist Church in Quiapo, Manila, on Jan. 9, 1787. The original statue, which shows a dark-colored Christ bent under the weight of a heavy cross, was made by an unknown Mexican sculptor. It was brought to the country by Recollect friars in 1607 and was said to have survived a fire while aboard the ship. The image was charred but was preserved, which explains its color. Filipino Catholic devotees have attributed miracles and answered prayers to the Black Nazarene. Among these is the reported cleaning up of a clogged artery of a radio operator in his 60s. This reportedly happened after he prayed to the Black Nazarene on being told he had to undergo a hugely expensive bypass surgery. Devotion to the Black Nazarene was encouraged by Pope Innocent X, who issued a papal bull establishing the Confradia de Jesus Nazareno in 1650. In the 19th century, Pope Pius VII granted indulgence to people who prayed devoutly to the Black Nazarene. There are two images of the Black Nazarene in Quiapo, both hybrids of the original and the replica created by Filipino sculptor Gener Manlaqui. The one paraded every Jan. 9 has the head of the replica and the body of the original, encased in stainless steel to protect it from damage. During the procession, the image is placed...

Whether it is non-traditional faiths or traditional beliefs each one is connected through meaning of a higher spiritual enlightenment. This could include a philosophy or religion base that healing is conducted through mind, body, and spirit that embrace prayers or other components to reach complete healing of an individual. Non-traditional beliefs such as Tibetan Buddhism, Native American and Hinduism can be connected in some aspects to the mainstream religions like Christianity while having differences to the approach of healing. It will be discussed that the non-traditional beliefs on the perspective of healing, the components of healing, the similarities and differences that these beliefs have with traditional Christianity religion. Buddhism Buddhism started out in India and spread throughout Asia. Buddhism can be described as a philosophy seeking religion and it focuses on these principles rather than beliefs. Christianity is the opposite as it is a religion seeking philosophy and focuses on beliefs.
