What one person considers his or her reality may not necessarily be the actual reality. Several factors play a central role in the development of a view of reality for different individuals. The most common determinants of the various perspectives of reality are social, geographical, temporal, ethical, racial, sexual, and cultural contexts. These factors form attitudes that individuals adopt from their childhood. Most of the time people are forced to accept realities that differ with their beliefs. Material reality is the tangible existence of something, and many people agree with its existence. On the other hand, psychological reality only exists in the mind of every individual: it is what one believes to be correct. This paper specifically explores the contrast between material and psychological reality of the main characters in a Death in Venice, Death of Ivan Ilych, Punishment and the Tattooer as influenced by social class, geographical location, and temporal contexts. The effect of the temporal effect is evident in the central themes of a Death in Venice . These central topics are homosexuality and obsession with beauty. Precisely, Aschenbach is obsessed with the beauty of a young Polish boy to the extent of accepting to die of cholera. He does not leave town even when he knows there is an outbreak of cholera. He stays around and stares at the boy whenever he comes out to play: “He felt a sudden, strange expansion of his inner space, rambling unrest, a youthful thirst for a faraway place, a feeling so intense…” (Mann 89). This statement shows how he feels when he first sees the boy. This obsession with beauty was a common theme in the 20th Century Romanticism. Therefore, Aschenbach is a typical 20th-Century character. He suppresses his sexual attraction to the boy because homosexuality was considered immoral in the 20th-Century. He cannot openly show it because it is not allowed in the society and might shame him before members of his class (Mann 83). He belongs to the German high class and would rather suppress his sexual desires than lose respect. He disguises his attraction to Tadzio in artistic love for esthetics. His psychological reality contrasts with his material reality such that he does not practice his homosexuality just because of his class and the social attitudes at the time. In Tolstoy’s Death of Ivan Ilych , contrary to his psychological reality, Ilych is obsessed with decency and decorum for the purpose of fitting in the class of aristocrats. He also looks for a wife to marry because his position as a legal officer demands that he marries. Worse still, he is preoccupied with material possession. He buys a house and paints it like the aristocrats (Tolstoy 760). Therefore, his material reality does not agree with his psychological reality. He does not believe in decorum and marriage but does them because his class demands them. Because of this difference in reality, he ends up forgetting about his family. Eventually, he becomes ill, and this is the time he realizes his mistakes in his perc
The assessment of the effectiveness of nursing care can involve the staff and the patient, which means a subjective human factor in the evaluation. This can lead to barriers in the observational assessment, such as incorrect selection of evaluation criteria or inaccuracies when comparing these criteria with a particular behavior (Ghashghaie et al., 2021). Also, an erroneous determination of the degree of consistency between the goals and the patient’s responses can be a barrier. To properly evaluate the nursing process and overcome these barriers, it is necessary to know which aspect is subject to it, have sources of information for its implementation, and clarify the evaluation criteria. In my opinion, it is best to give this feedback in writing. Such an assessment allows the staff to identify the strengths and weaknesses of their professional activities. Also, the nurse will be able to study the document several times to understand it. In this way, it will be easier for nursing staff to use specific evaluation criteria to compare the available results of care with the desired ones. When determining the audience for the simulation scenario, it is necessary to pay attention to the nurse’s ability to apply the knowledge of the organization of nursing care. The audience also needs to demonstrate an understanding of the leading causes, clinical manifestations, diagnostic methods, and principles of treatment. It is necessary to evaluate the student’s current level of knowledge, skills, and abilities in the framework of the program in terms of theory; however, it is worth focusing on practice. Thus, the most crucial element of the assessment will be the successful implementation of therapeutic and diagnostic interventions in interaction with the participants of the treatment process. To prepare students for clinical practice, the main elements of the curriculum, such as practical classes, are necessary and designed to deepen students’ knowledge. The case study method and critical case analysis also effectively help prepare students for the upcoming practice. Reference Ghashghaie, K. Z.et al., (2021). Ph.D. in nursing from theory to reality.

We live in a society that is awash with stereotypes. It is difficult to imagine of a group of people in society that does not have any stereotype associated with them (Devine1989, pp.5-8). There are stereotypes about tall men, short men, tall women, short women, African American men, Caucasian men, Hispanics, priests, and teachers (Brown & Josephs1999, pp.246-247). Stereotypes are subjective and unverifiable opinions about an individual or a group of persons (Bargh, Chen & Burrows1996,pp.231-236).In this essay, stereotypes associated with politicians, persons with tattoos, feminists, and senior citizens will be considered. This will be followed by a discussion of whether these groups invoke the same images to all people, the language and rhetoric used to reinforce these stereotypes, whether these stereotypes hold any element of truth in them and how the whole idea of stereotypes applies to me personally. To start with politicians, the most common stereotype that is associated with them is telling lies. Anytime a politician promises something to the people they are ready to dismiss the promise as mere lies. They only take the politicians seriously once the promise has been fulfilled. To a very high degree, very few people expect politicians to fulfill any of the promises they make. This stereotype is widely held as far as politicians are concerned. It cuts across all regions of the world. Is this the reason why the public is losing enthusiasm in politics? It is safe to assume that due to this stereotype of lies, the members of the public are not willing to listen to politicians anymore because they expect these politicians to be feeding them with nothing other than lies. Leaving the above aside, there is a common stereotype that politicians are greedy individuals who are out to take all that is available so as to benefit their families and close friends. This stereotype is strong to the extent that any time an individual decides to seek a public office; members of the public conclude that he or she has identified a way in which he or she will benefit personally or those who are close to him or her. In some places, politicians are considered thieves due to the effects of the stereotype of being greedy. Far from greed, politicians are also considered cunning. The members of the public expect politicians to play all sorts of games so as to get elected to political office. It is true that politicians try to be as convincing as possible. But is being convincing the same as being cunning? Perhaps the public is of the opinion that politicians can play even mischievous games and tricks so as to get elected to public or political office. This is where the aspect of cunningness comes in because anyone who is convincing cannot engage in trickery of mischief. He or she uses
The recent economic downtown, which had its epicenter in the United States and spilled to other countries across the world, saw an unprecedented deterioration in the way organizations conducted business and sustained their competitive efficiencies. Many companies in the United States, including the Lehman Brothers and Bear Sterns, were forced to file for bankruptcy due to the aftershocks of the recession. The report by Gulluce and Parent (2011), titled “Survival of the Smallest: Examining the Impact of Recession on Small Business”, attempts to provide informative insights into how Canadian small and middle-sized enterprises (SMEs) survived the recession. The following is a critique of the report. Undoubtedly, there are many things that a management scholar would validate after reading the report, but equally perplexing is the fact that some information seems to lack solid management underpinning. The authors have done well to bring into the limelight the strategies that were being used by small businesses in Canada to deal with the recession; however, they fail to account for the impact of the recession on these businesses. For instance, it is agreeable how the authors suggest various strategies that were being employed by SMEs during the recession (e.g., cutting costs, venturing into new markets, and making personal sacrifices such as holiday cancellations and downgrading own salary), but details about why these strategies were being implemented are rather scanty. A comprehensive analysis of the impacts of the recession (e.g., fall of consumption, rise of unemployment, increased number of bankrupt businesses, credit reductions and mounting social distress), in my view, would have led to a more salient understanding of the strategies that were being used by small companies in Canada to deal with the recession. Overall, the report is not only insightful but also informative, and demonstrates how SME business owners take drastic measures such as scaling down their own salaries, taking more debt, venturing into new markets and creating new job opportunities to ensure their businesses thrive during challenging and uncertain times. Other important strategies include turning to local markets to capture new markets, product diversification in Canada and abroad, recruiting new customers, reducing prices, increasing advertising/promotional efforts through expanding online presence, decreasing the number of employees, and freezing the wages and salaries of owners as well as employees (Gulluce & Parent, 2011). Such strategies, in my view, serve as a stimulus package that could be used by SMEs to spur competitive efficiencies and performance. However, it is highly unlikely that many of these strategies may work in large organizations due to the entities’ complex organizational structure, large number of employees and massive financial outlays. Undoubtedly, these strategies seem relevant in the small business context, but some are irrelevant when it comes to assisting big organizations deal with the ramifications of a financial crisis. Strategies such as product/service diversification, increasingly advertising/promotional effor
Comparative Studies History of Methods The rediscovery of Egypt took place in the eighteenth century, while Mesopotamia was rediscovered in the mid of nineteenth century. This involved the discovery of the ancient languages, various texts that were used in those early times, and many other artifacts. Scholars have engaged in detailed work of translating the discovered languages, and studied these facts in order to relate them to some of the historical information that was available in various forms. Those who engaged in this study had different intentions. A section of the scholars was just interested in adventure, while others were trying to defend the information in the Bible. They were convinced that by digging into these artifacts, they would be able to gather enough evidence to support the information in the Bible. Several scholars tried to analyze the content of the Old Testament of the Bible in order to trace its origin and understand its authenticity. Kaiser Wilhelm was one of the scholars who engaged actively in this rediscovery. Another prominent scholar was Friedrich Delitzsch, son of a former prominent commentator. Views of Friedrich rose many controversies, especially his claim that the content of the Old Testament was based on the cultural practices of people who stayed in Tigris and Euphrates regions. He argued that upon careful analysis of the culture of people of Mesopotamia, there was a close similarity of what was practiced in this region at this time, and what is written in the Old Testament. From this Study, Friedrich concluded that Old Testament was written based on human experience other than divine intervention. This earned him a lot of criticism from Assyriologists who had believed in the Word. In analyzing the mythologies of ancient Near East, it comes out clearly that there is a close attachment between what is in the Old Testament, and what was practiced in this society. However, his work, and the works of other early scholars, has enabled the current scholars do develop an understanding of this issue on a strong foundation. Comparative Studies, Scholarship, and Theology It is a fact that all Europeans have different cultures based on various environmental factors they experience. Similarly, Babylonians, Egyptians, Hittites, Sumerians, and Israelites also have different cultural practices based on their environmental and social contexts. It is important to note that there was a difference between the first millennium Babylonians during the era of Nebuchadnezzar, and Babylonians of the second millennium during the era of Hammurabi. However, both share some elements of cultural practices of
Control Systems and Their Purpose The process of project controlling is a complicated system of various actions which requires a lot of experience and efforts. There are three main types of control systems: cybernetic, go/no-go, and post control. The most typical form is cybernetic control. Its core element is the ability to operate automatically. There is a subtype of cybernetic control system called a negative feedback loop. This system’s function is to decrease inconsistencies with the standard. Go/no-go control is performed using testing which shows coherence with the particular demands. Project management employs this control most frequently as it can be applied at all stages of the project. Go/no-go control is helpful as many features of project implementation demand that the specific requirements should be fulfilled. This type of control meets some challenges as it is not always easy to identify which aspects are necessary for the project. Pest control is performed after the project’s completion. While this type of control may seem unnecessary and unproductive, it is not so. Employing post control allows to avoid further mistakes and increases the probability of future projects’ success. Pest control is employed via a special document that comprises four parts: (1) the project goals, (2) milestones and budgets, (3) final report of the outcomes, and (4) propositions for project enhancement. A control system should answer the question about the project’s faults and the ways of overcoming them. To control change, the following measures should be taken:   * project documents should contain an explanation of how applications for change will be presented and accomplished;   * after the project’s
This journal evaluates the perception of diabetes patients on insulin therapy and treatment. They administered an online cross-section survey to people with diabetes who received oral glucose alone and basal insulin for more than two months and recorded the effects insulin had on their bodies. I will use this source to support my research because the perception of diabetes patients on insulin therapy is essential for understanding the impact they cause on the person. The text explores the importance of insulin-based acute treatment among diabetic patients. Insulin is known to promote glucose consumption as the primary source of energy that affects people with diabetes. This journal will help advance my research as it precisely identifies the effects of insulin on patients through controlled clinical methods. In addition, I will link it to my study since there is a strong background between insulin and diabetic patients. Melo et al. discussed the effect of short-acting insulin on patients with type 1 diabetes (T1DM). The results of insulin on weight gain and the high incidence of hypoglycemia are deeply analyzed. This research is relevant to my study because it develops insulin analogs through modification to understand its effects on T1DM. I will use this study to build my literature review on the results of insulin in diabetic persons. In this work, Penno examined insulin resistance in a patient with diabetes and its relation to other body parts such as the kidney. The authors noted that insulin sensitivity was associated with all a cause of mortality in type 2 diabetes through an observational perspective. This association will be beneficial as I explore the effects of insulin in diabetic persons. The report presents a close relationship on the impact insulin has on the body of a person with type 2 diabetes that I will use to develop my research. The article presents the association between insulin and diabetic people and the mortality prevalence among patients with liver
The process of a constant development of new trends in the modern business and economy requires managers and marketers to develop innovative approaches to promoting products and services and to attracting potential clients. From this point, today events are discussed as the effective marketing tool which is actively used in branding and promoting because of a lot of advantages provided. Events can be characterized as the effective marketing and advertising tool due to their orientation to the target audience and their high characteristics in relation to attracting many potential purchasers, creating the specific environment, establishing the interactive relations with clients, and demonstrating the benefits of the product or service to customers directly, in open communication. As a marketing tool, events are planned and organized in order to show the products’ qualities and form the definite brand awareness with the help of the open interaction with the target audience. Thus, the organization of events is the part of the strategic marketing system, and it is the successful communication tool. In this case, the purpose of the advertising events is to promote the product or service effectively with references to establishing the direct contacts with clients (Allen). The organized events are the good opportunities to persuade the audience to use the certain products with the help of presenting the products’ characteristics within the most appropriate environment. To promote the definite product, it is necessary to choose the most appropriate type of the event in order to gain more benefits and achieve the business objectives according to the developed plan and strategy. It is possible to determine such types of events which can be used as the component of the promoting strategy as meetings, conferences, seminars, trade shows, concerts, and malls. Each type is effective for advertising different products regarding their particular features and the target audience (Wolf, Wolf, and Levine). Thus, to present the product within
Human bodies require the specific nutrition in order to support their activities and to function appropriately. That is why, any changes in nutrition influence directly the state of the people’s health. To understand these processes, it is necessary to pay attention to the definition of health as the state of the human well-being and fitness related to the absence of diseases and positive physical, mental, and emotional processes (Cade et al. 2012). The problem of the adequate or optimum nutrition is based on the individual approach because the human organisms require different amounts of calories and vitamins in order to preserve the energetic balance in the body. Moreover, the factor of environment also affects the situation because people living in various climatic regions need different nutrition according to their life style and particular features of location (Weichselbaum & Buttriss 2011). From this point, the concept of health should be discussed from the individualistic perspective. However, this aspect does not influence the role of nutrition for the people’s health because the optimum nutrition remains the main requirement to support people’s health and well-being effectively. To grow, develop, and function successfully, the human body needs a lot of such nutrients as vitamins, macroelements and microelements, proteins, hormones, acids, and enzymes. All these elements are contained in the food, it is possible to speak about the positive health state of a person when he or she receives the balanced nutrition to satisfy the needs of the organism (Tappenden et al. 2013). Well-nourished people are in harmony with their bodies because the organism can receive the adequate amount of the necessary elements to function appropriately, be energetic and active (Goldberg & Sliwa 2011). Furthermore, the adequate nutrition is the first step to stabilizing the work of all the organism’s systems in order to avoid obesity, problems with hormones and metabolism (Cheng, Buyken, & Shi 2012). A healthy person who receives the healthy nutrition regularly can also enhance the work of the immune system as the main protector of the body. When the immune system works appropriately a person is protected from many infections and viruses which can be harmful for those people who suffer from malnutrition (Weichselbaum & Buttriss 2011). Thus, it is possible to avoid a lot of illnesses and health problems while paying attention to the aspect of nutrition as the key factor to regulate the work of an organism as a system. The focus on nutrition is also important with references to the general practice because general practitioners are responsible for helping people to cope with many different acute and chronic diseases, and the prescription of a healthy diet based
