  • The nature of nursing means that nursing ethics tends to examine the ethics of caring rather than 'curing' by exploring the relationship between the nurse and the person in care.
    • Rachel EWSIS
      Rachel EWSIS on 09 Dec 09
       
      What this is saying is becoming a nurse instead of curing for the person you have to care for them.
  • The focus of nursing ethics is on developing a caring relationship
    • Rachel EWSIS
      Rachel EWSIS on 09 Dec 09
       
      This is important because, if the nurses don't care then in my opinon i don't think that they will pick this career choice. Also if you don't have a caring relationship then, the patients won't really open up to their nurses.
  • This is where information about the person is only shared with others after permission of the person, unless it is felt that the information must be shared to comply with a higher duty such as preserving life. [5].

      I wonder why some nurses sret up a list of laws for themselves? Aren't they given a set of rules or laws already?!
  • This is considered by its advocates to focus more on relationships than principles and therefore to reflect the caring relationship in nursing more accurately than other ethical views.
    • Rachel EWSIS
      Rachel EWSIS on 09 Dec 09
       
      I think caring about the relationships more than the principles is good because, the principles don't get you to a point where you could bound with the person and in my opinion i think that being a nurse you connect with the person on a professsional and emotional level.
  • People are then enabled to make decisions about their own treatment.
    • Rachel EWSIS
      Rachel EWSIS on 09 Dec 09
       
      I think that it's important for people to make their own decisions wether or not they want the treatment because, what if their family doesn't have enough mom to pay for it or they on't have insurance. Usually depending upon the situation like lets say if it's really bad then the person won't take the treatment if they are close to dying.
  • There is a balance between people having the information required to make an autonomous decision and, on the other hand, not being unnecessarily distressed by the truth.

  • The creation, performance, significance, and even the definition of music vary according to culture and social context. Music ranges from strictly organized compositions (and their recreation in performance), through improvisational music to aleatoric forms. Music can be divided into genres and subgenres, although the dividing lines and relationships between music genres are often subtle, sometimes open to individual interpretation, and occasionally controversial. Within "the arts", music may be classified as a performing art, a fine art, and auditory art.

  • A culture hero is a mythological hero specific to some group (cultural, ethnic, racial, religious, etc.) who changes the world through invention or discovery. A typical culture hero might be credited as the discoverer of fire, or agriculture, songs, tradition and religion, and is usually the most important legendary figure of a people, sometimes as the founder of its ruling dynasty. The hero is sometimes said to be still living, but is often instead a star, constellation, animal or purely spiritual in nature

      A child's weight is highly influenced by their food choices and family meals. It plays a critical role on their diet.Hence if a parent lets their own child make their own food choices, then that wouldn't be good since kids enjoy eating junk food and fast food, which doesn't do any justice to their bodies. Instead, they should be eating healthy nutritious foods such as vegetables and fruits. It is important for the parent to be in charge of what their child consumes. I found out from another source that studies have shown that almost all childs who are overweight, are due to their parents giving them control over what they want to eat.

      This sentence is quite convoluted. It basically says that in both psychology and philosophy consciousness is explained and debated in terms concerning its subjective value, the change that comes if consciousness is applied to a particular situation, the continuity and selectivity of a conscious force. Intent is one of the most important characteristics defining consciousness, but still it is debated whether intent is totally necessary to make something conscious.

  • The metal scene has been characterized as a "subculture of alienation", with its own code of authenticity.

      Metal music has always been something that people can relate to so they can feel better.
  • Attendees of metal concerts do not dance in the usual sense; Deena Weinstein has argued that this is due to the music's largely male audience and "extreme heterosexualist ideology." She identifies two primary body movements that substitute for dancing: headbanging and an arm thrust that is both a sign of appreciation and a rhythmic gesture.[40] The performance of air guitar is popular among metal fans both at concerts and listening to records at home.[41] Other concert audience activities include stage diving, crowd surfing, pushing and shoving in a chaotic mêlée called moshing, and displaying the corna hand symbol.

      This is important because Metal music has a certain "code" one must follow in order to appreciate the music. Due to the rythm and beat of metal music, the body gestures is obvious sinc there isn't a dancing style to it.

  • Personality can be defined as a dynamic and organized set of characteristics possessed by a person that uniquely influences his or her cognitions, motivations, and behaviors in various situations [3]

      As I know, one's behaviors are always affected by that person's personality. This quote made me want to explore more about the connection between a person's personality and behavior.
  • There is no consensus on the definition of "personality" in psychology. Most researchers and psychologists do not explicitly identify themselves with a certain perspective and often take an eclectic approach.

      According to this quote, I realized that everyone's definition of "personality" is different from others'. Therefore, a person's behavior may be explained in different ways among different people. Thus, nothing is always absolutely constant, especially personality. This made me wonder if it is human's nature that people always change as time passes, and one day you suddenly realize the one you used to know is not the same any more.
  • Critics of personality theory claim personality is "plastic" across time, places, moods, and situations. Changes in personality may indeed result from diet (or lack thereof), medical effects, significant events, or learning. However, most personality theories emphasize stability over fluctuation.

      This quote has proved my previous hypothesis was right. A person's personality may change because of many facts in our lives. I'm now wondering which facts have the greatest impacts on people's personalities.
