Part A As part of my studies of the Perspectives on nursing module I have been assigned to examine dignity as a value which underpins nursing practice. Dignity is a multi-faceted concept and can be defined as ‘’ The state or quality of being worthy of honour or respect’ (https://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/dignity, 2015)’. Respect for the dignity of the person is the number one principle of the Code of Professional Conduct and Ethics for Registered Nurses and Midwives (NMBI, 2014)
nursing. She eventually received a Ph.D. in nursing from Case Western Reserve. Kolcaba has many published works and most importantly she developed a nursing theory that deals with -nurse-provided comfort (Sitzman & Eichelberger, 2011). Throughout this paper the author is going to explore Kolcaba’s comfort theory by looking at the aspects of humanity involved, central concepts, how it effects everyday nursing practice, and the authors own personal experiences that relate in their own experience and
Women’s rights and their social status, one of the most controversial yet concerned topics that keeps raising the society’s attention. Ever since the existence of inequality between male and female had been discovered, people had never stopped reflecting on it. In Harper Lee’s novel To Kill a Mockingbird, gender bias, along with racial discrimination, are tied together to serve as the major themes of the story. By using the perspective of a misfitting tomboy Scout, Lee vividly painted out the reality
Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s “The Yellow Wallpaper” critiques Victorian womanhood in several ways throughout the text. Victorian women were expected to be pure, dainty, and perfectly angelic. They were also expected to be perfect mothers, wives, and hostesses at all times. If a woman were to express too much emotion, she would be called hysterical. Hysteria was considered a medical condition which rendered a woman incapable of reason or generally thinking like an adult. However, because of societal
Humans are creatures of comfort. We like to feel safe and secure because it is embedded in our inherent will to survive. Early humans were nomadic and in constant search of the next meal. But as we evolved, humans grew comfortable in their surroundings and secure in their abilities. We settled into civilizations and developed technology that allows us, in present day, to maximize our level of comfort. However, the meaning of comfort coevolved with our cognition. Back then, comfort was a meal and shelter
kidnapped, and sold into comfort stations for Asia’s militaristic ideas. Women were raped, beaten, and tortured because of the views of the Asian governments. They were treated as objects solely for the use and benefit of soldiers. The phrase “comfort women” was a name used for women who were raped and housed in places called comfort stations (Comfort Women). The “Comfort women” during WWII reflect attitudes towards women because of sexist ideas in the region of Asia. Comfort women in WWII originated

Later when Janie marries Jody Starks, we see another example of a member of the “in-group” enforcing the negative stereotypes the dominant culture has imposed upon them. Jody remembers the “other men figuratively wallowing in” Janie’s hair (55). He has her cover it up because “she was there in the store for him to look at, not those others” (55). Janie’s hair is a symbol of her sexuality and womanhood. Janie remarks that when Jody forced her to start wearing the scarf, their sexual relationship suffered
Comfortability is the pursuit of any human’s activities. One gets a job to pay for necessities that provide satisfaction. One pays for entertainment so that one may be happy and enjoy the time. Comfortable means to be eased and relaxed. Therefore, it would be reasonable to say no one desires to be uncomfortable. Education systems across the nation have been banning the novel To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee due to the idea that it could make the reader “uncomfortable.” The novel accomplishes multiple
The issue of the comfort women has been so politically charged in China and South Korea that if someone dares to attribute it to some factors other than the Japanese brutality and imperialism during WWII in public, he is likely to be branded as a traitor and inundated with threatening letters, expletive languages, and disparaging news articles. Such ethnic nationalism has created numerous barriers in academic research of these marginalized women in history. Fortunately, C. Sarah Soh makes an audacious
During the World War II, the Japanese military and political leaders exploited Asian women to enter prostitution and be part of the institutional rape as sexual slaves. The comfort women system was established for the Japanese occupants to show their dominance over the colonies of Korea and several groups of Asian women. Initially, the creation of military brothels was not exclusive for the military and they were set up for Japanese prostitutes to work as waitresses for Japanese restaurants which
1. Back ground Globally, educating a nation remains the most vital strategy for the development of the society throughout the developing world (Aikman & Unterhalter, 2005). The effect of leadership style on academic performance has been widely debated in recent scholarly work. Only a small fraction of available studies on school leadership deal with its effects on academic performance. There is also increasing recognition that schools require effective leaders and managers if they are to provide
It was on an architectural walking tour that I first stood in awe of the unique beauty of stained glass art in the historic churches of Portland, Oregon. In the nineteenth century Portland was thriving. Successful entrepreneurs in logging and shipping wanted to build homes and churches worthy of their status and wealth. Early Portlanders certainly were out to impress. They competed with large east coast cities and west coast cities like San Francisco by building grand homes with expensive detailing

Nostalgia, Soul Food, and Diaspora in American Home…. is a feeling, a place of belonging, a place of comfort. Food is unique in that it provides a full sensory experience that allows a person to be transported home like nothing else. Food is powerful in that it is not the dish itself that provides nostalgia, but the smells, people and visual experiences associated with it. Food itself provides a tangible link to home, a sense of belonging. Diasporic communities often used food not only to fulfill
Food, glorious food. When Billy first arrived on the train to the prison camp, he described the German prisons as “absolutely full, and there was no longer any food for the prisoners to eat, and no longer any fuel to keep them warm” (69). Just as food can bring people together and push them apart, it can also drive them insane. The Englishmen “would find themselves greeted listlessly by dying Russians who spoke no English, who had no food…” (93). In times of war, people directly involved in the war
more specifically the food I grew up eating. In the documentary, and articles it is clear of the effects of food influences on children as they are growing up. Food and culture strongly affect people as they are raised around it. In the articles it is obvious that the people are affected by their cultural backgrounds. In, “What Americans Can Learn From Other Food Cultures” by Amy S. Choi, She focuses on comfort foods and their backgrounds. I believe that “Our comfort foods map who are, where we
care more about the health consequences of our food choice instead of eating with pleasure. Pollan claims that the food marketing machine, nutrition science, and journalism are main forces for Americans to change their diet. Pollan uses the conflicting reports of scientific studies of low-fat diet and dietary fiber as examples of bad influence of journalism and the
