The short story" On Compassion" by Barbara Lazear appeared after her book " Playing After Dark (1986)". This short story argues that people are not born with compassion. Throughout the book Lazear gave examples to determine if the situation was out of compassion or fear. The author also, gives information about the Greeks and she states how it can be a possibilities the Greeks had compassion within a society to teach people to have sympathy for people suffering. Although, other's may voice their opinion to being born with compassion, I initiate to include evidence from the text to prove that compassion needs to be taught to people and there is no possible way that they are born with compassion.
There are four major theories behind the theoretical framework within this module. Those four theories are Structural functionalism, Conflict theory, Social construction, and Symbolic interactionism. These four theories plays a crucial role in the medical system and are seen within Anne Fadiman’s novel The Spirit Catches and You Fall Down.
When you read the essays “on Compassion” and “ Just walk on by: Black Men and public space” you get a sense of the issues that are happening. In “On Compassion” Barbara Ascher talks about the experience she had while witnessing an interaction between a woman and a homeless man while in the essay “Just walk on by: Black Men and public space” Brent Staples talks about the experiences he’s had when coming in contact with other people on the street. Barbra uses specific details to describe the homeless man she sees, such as “Buttonless shirt” and “baggy trousers.” when she uses these words she is expressing the distressed look he conveys.
While clearly sympathizing with Lia lee and her physicians, Fadiman provides a descriptive account of the complex situation and at the same time challenges one’s perspectives on spirituality and
Although I do not completely understand the parameters of the discussion, I will attempt to start it by addressing the two theories I agree with the most and why. First, the Transpersonal Theory is a component of human services that is not often spoken about. However, being a fully-devoted follower of Christ, I believe every human consists of three distinct parts- the physical body, the mind, and the spirit. Therefore, the Transpersonal Theory encompasses the entire person. In other words, no matter how you slice it 2/3 can never equal a whole.
There is a sample of scorching ideas burning inside the human fragility. Recently, I felt a symbiosis with Daniel Bonevac, a Professor of Philosophy at the University of Texas at Austin who specializes in metaphysics, logic, and ethics, through its course “The Enlightment.”His

Personal Nursing Philosophy The society has high expectations for the nursing profession. Most cultures expect nurses to have high morale standards and a good character or virtues (Newham, 2014). Consequently, several societies consider becoming a nurse a calling.
One of the most well known authorities on healing of the mind and body is Deepak Chopra, M.D. Dr. Chopra served as chief of staff at Boston Regional Medical Center, before cofounding the Chopra Center for Well Being. The author of numerous books on health and wellness, Dr. Chopra shows his mastery of the field of health management with his book, The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success. Chopra presents his seven points, asserting that these laws are the same that nature uses to create everything that we can feel with our senses. 1. The Law of Pure Potentiality Each person is made of energy, with each of us part of one another.

The population this theory applies to all ethnicities, religions, races, orientations, social economic status and abilities .The school this theory is related to the Humanistic School of Thought. Humanistic School of thought , is the concept of the practitioner viewing the client circumstance through the client eyes and their personal view.

In the late 1970s and early 1980s, feminist scholars became the main architects of the care perspective. Care scholarship can be viewed a feminist because it pursues avenues to challenge and promote change regarding gender inequities entrenched in the historic and current practices of care. Burnier, (2003) posits that it has been commonly women, working at home without pay or outside the home at low pay, who have been expected to perform society’s care work. Baines, Evan, and Neysmith states (as cited in Burnier, 2003, p. 532), that feminist scholars envision a society where care work would be accomplished “without reproducing and perpetuating gender inequality” and that care work becomes “everyone’s work,” which means “redistributing
With time all three theories and therapies have received considerable criticism and have been modified by many. Some have suggested that unlike Frauds’ belief, the “manifest content” is nothing but the representation of the dreamers waking life (Fosshage, 1983, 1987; Garma, 1987; Glucksman, 1988; Glucksman and Warner, 1987; Lippman, 2000; Natterson, 1980, 1993; Schwartz, 1990). Others have simply expanded on Jung’s and Adler’s theories along with providing set parameters for its use in therapy ((Beebe, 1993; Bonime, 1987; Bosnak, 1988; Johnson, 1986; Bird, 2005; Lombardi and Elcock,
Person-centered therapy is one of them. The aim of this theory is to focus on the individual progressing towards independence, and overcoming the presenting
