Introduction The connection between Christianity and social status for Africans in early modern Europe was one that was marred by exploitation and at the same time respect and recognition (Collins & Taylor 16). Simply because Africans were not Christians, they were viewed as lesser beings as compared to their white counterparts. To most whites, the black community was of no threat to them at all. For this reason, they were exploited as slaves, with a thick line being drawn between the two races (Earle & Lowe 107). This practice of forced labor, therefore, went on for many centuries within the Christian religion, becoming a major factor affecting the European economy and their way of life. The paper discusses the connection between Christianity and African people in early Europe, with a critical analysis of the same. Main body Influential personalities like Saint Augustine supported this practice, while Saint Patrick on the other hand advocated strongly against it. The common ground was that both those who were for and against the practice used Christian teachings to support their respective points. In Europe therefore the debate on Christianity and slavery caused a lot of conflicts with some people arguing that the Old Testament advocated for slavery while disputing whether the New Testament advocated against this degrading practice. One thing for sure was that it was only Christian teachings that spoke against these actions and practices that exploited and looked down upon a certain human race (Babington 148). With this in mind, the Christian religious leaders acknowledged that they were the ones with the ability to try and end the belittlement and segregation of these minorities and the weak in society. Their desire was to see Christians live in peace and harmony, respecting each others’ abilities and characteristics for the growth of a united human race. This was a very tough task on their hands considering that the same European Christians were the ones who came up with a travel and migration mechanism that moved black slaves from their ancestral lands to Europe. The slaves were forcefully migrated since they were not given any choice and ended up working in the white peoples’ farms in Europe. It was slavery that led to the spread of religion in America as a result of the colonial societies that they created with each other by trading in slave labor. As a result of this alliance, by the mid-seventeenth century there were thousands of slaves doing forced labor in South America, where they were taken by the European Christians, thus making the latter the largest slave investors in the area (Milwood 29). They even went ahead to justify their actions by quoting Paul in the bible as instructing slaves and their masters respectively to honor their duties as directed to each other. With this, they termed slavery as a sacred act that was re
According to the instructions, the patient should strictly take 1.5 liters of the fluid. Diuretic medication is key in managing chronic heart failure at stage three. The procedure is critical in helping patients with heart disease learn how to practice self-care and be responsible for their lives. The below is an outline strategy on how to administer medication to Jackson suffering from heart failure. A four-prone approach can be implemented to help the patient adhere to the medication regime. Firstly, communication with the dietician is critical to understand the patient’s condition (O’Brien and Greene 847). Through clear and open communication, the physician will understand the patient better and offer the right help. Secondly, monitoring will help the patient take the medication and record output for continuous care (Patel et al. “Drug therapy in heart failure”). For example, monitoring the edema status will help in managing the levels of the condition. Third, it will assist in educating the patient on how to take her medication. The patients should know the correct measurement of cups or glasses of fluid to take; hence, education is essential in administering the medication (Patel et al. “Drug therapy in heart failure”). For example, educate the patient to avoid taking food high in sodium. Four, encourage and offer behavior management to the patient. Patients usually lack the motivation to live and take healthy steps towards recovery. Therefore, it is important to encourage them to take their medication regularly as recommended by the physician (O’Brien and Greene 847). For instance, make the patient adhere to the fluid measurement and take the medication strictly. Besides, encourage the patient to reduce fluid intake by managing behavior and controlling the available fluid. Through the four steps, the administration of the medication will be simple and patient-centered at stage three. Works Cited O’Brien, Emily C., and Stephen J.

Abstract This report seeks to analyze a purification technology that is applied in many industrial processes. Since most fluids and soluble solids are prone to contaminations even after production, it is essential to have a purification system that is suitable in the process of production. In this light, this paper looks at membrane filtration technology as a widely used filtration technique. The paper is organized into subsections including how the technology works, alternative technologies, effectiveness of the technology, management of the technology, and application of the technology. Introduction Many liquid products are prone to contamination due to the factors that surround their environment. In the process of searching for an effective way to prevent any liquid, like water from contamination, a filtration system appears to be the most effective mean. Filtration systems are simple and effective way to prevent various contaminants. These systems are developed in different forms, including mechanical filters, neutralizing filters, oxidizing filters, and activated carbon filters. As a mechanical filtration system, membrane filtration is a technique that applies permeable barriers to separate materials. The filters used contain different shaped fibers generated from stoneware or metals (Energy Center of Wisconsin 1). Therefore, this paper analyses the membrane filtration technology in regard to how it works, existing technologies it replaces or supplements, its effectiveness, types of membrane systems, and the management of membrane systems. Furthermore, the cost and application of membran
Introduction Apple iPod remains among the best-recognized products of the company. Such longevity can be attributed in part to the effectiveness of its marketing campaign, referred to as iPod Silhouettes. Since its onset in the early 21st century, the campaign has undergone a number of minor changes, preserving the original simplicity and minimalistic style. The campaign is also notable for marking a watershed moment between two major eras of the company. The launch of an iPod resulted in the re-emergence of Apple as a major player in the global market of consumer electronics. This success can be partially attributed to the message communicated by the campaign – that of innovation, simplicity, and “hipness” of the company’s new products. At the same time, the visual component of the campaign aligned well with the new direction in the design of shapes and forms of the devices as well as its software components. The following paper presents an analysis of typography, imagery, shapes, and colors used in the campaign. Apple Narrative In a certain sense, the lack of minor details was the manifestation of Apple’s new design philosophy emphasizing the essential features and the ease of use. This approach is especially apparent in the revised Apple logo introduced roughly at the time of the campaign’s launch. The logo in question was a monochromatic depiction of an apple with a bite on it. The decision to retain the shape while changing the color scheme was indicative of the overall change in design philosophy that combined minimalism and accessibility with originality and fun historically associated with the company’s offerings. In addition, it provided the necessary level of credibility by distancing from a rainbow palette, which has lost its chaotic appeal at the time of the launch. It is also important to mention that the initial message behind the logo was the rebellious and disruptive stance and the readiness to search for knowledge, which was a popular narrative at the time of the company’s establishment. In this light, the redesigned logo retained the symbolic meaning of the imagery while discarding its obsolete component. Thus, the updated logo represents a commitment to innovation and originality achieved using the newly available technology and with regard to the needs and desires of a contemporary audience. The social and cultural effects of the campaign have since expanded beyond its intended reach. The recognizable style was mimicked in popular media both for humorous purposes and as a part of several social awareness campaigns. Finally, it shaped the testes and perceptions of portable devices bo
Introduction Art has a critical influence on society and culture because it determines opinions, instills values, and translates various experiences over different periods of time. Any form of art, including literature, painting, sculpture, or music, has the ability to preserve some cultural aspects that factual historical records are unable to recognize. Therefore, art serves as a form of communication between cultures and a possibility to share experiences through stories, images, or sounds. Art is also a strong driver of social change by giving a voice to the socially and politically disenfranchised individuals and provoking emotions or desire to change. Having a unique utilitarian influence on people, art makes people decide, investigate, and evaluate their physical and cultural environments. Art serves not only as a channel through which artists showcase their work and nurture their desire for self-fulfillment and expression but also as a source of information about political, economic, and social changes. However, Native American, Chinese, and Japanese experiences show how internationalization, urbanization, and globalization influence art, cultural preservation, and people’s desire to meet new standards and expectations, thus contributing to the inevitable disappearance of traditional culture. Traditional Art Compared to Modern and Contemporary Art Traditional art is usually identified as a part of people’s culture with a number of skills and knowledge obtained through the centuries. Culture, traditions, emotions, and experiences are mixed up between generations and create a basis for new decisions, opinions, and ideas to be developed. Sometimes, it is easy for a person to understand the message sent by ancestors, and in some cases, the task is difficult and requires much work and effort to connec
Hospitals are reporting a high rate of turnover of new nursing graduates. Hospital managers have the responsibility of lowering the rate of turnover by learning how to develop and implement mentoring programs for new nurses (Stahl, 2004). Working as a welfare manager in Health Net hospital, I intend to use the program to lower the rate of turnover and increase the hospital’s productivity. First of all, I intend to form a committee consisting of willing individuals from different departments in the hospital to oversee the implementation of the program. Asking them to join the committee helps encourage all members of staff to participate in the implementation of the mentoring program (Mentoring Programs for New Nurses, 2011). The committee’s leading mandate will help the hospital generate a list of expectations of the mentors and create a training manual for guiding mentors on what they are expected to do with the new nursing graduates. Additionally, the committee will prepare a timetable indicating the appropriate duration for covering the provided topics and the objectives that the mentors and the new nurses should achieve during the mentoring. I will ensure that the mentoring program addresses not only the facility’s operational procedures but also important concerns, such as the emotional impact the job can have and the best methods of managing stress. After creating the training manual and preparing efficiently, I will persuade all nurses to volunteer as mentors. The committee will evaluate the volunteers’ strengths and weaknesses and select those with positive reviews and those who are highly respected by their fellow nurses for them to serve the hospital as mentors. In case of difficulties in finding enough mentors, I will encourage the hospital to provide an incentive program for those who volunteer. Attractive incentive programs will motivate most of the nurses to accept to work as mentors (Grossman and Valiga, 2005). Since training mentors is essential in achieving the objectives of the mentoring program, I will assign the duty of training them to experienced members of the committee (Flynn, 2006). The trainers will be required to discuss, among other issues, the methods of assistance of the new graduates and mechanisms of accessing the resources for achieving the hospital’s objectives. I will endeavor to make the training more relevant by meeting with the mentors regularly to update them on new developments regarding the program and answering their questions. After training the mentors, I will assign at least two of them to each of the new nursing graduates and create social activities to make mentoring easier. Social activities reduce the level of stress relative to the stress they commonly encounter while taking care of multiple patients. Since the effectiveness of the program depends on a my
Buddhism, one of the major religions of the world, provides valuable teachings on how to alleviate sadness in life, among others specifically advocating Contentment, Peace of Mind and Love, all of which lie at the very nucleus of Buddhist teachings. Contentment and peace of mind are dominantly and inexorably inter-related and inter-dependent, like two sides of the same coin. The human mind tends to continually seek changes and is always dissatisfied and never contented. There is no peace of mind if there is no contentment. A contented person enjoys peace of mind (Purifymind.com). A person is continually absorbed in the daily happenings of life, permitting the mind to be buffeted by anxieties, fright, longings and dreams – in the process, losing perspective on matters that are genuine and significant. What we think is reality is in fact merely life seen through the perspective of what we want, and it can appear to be very disheartening and despairing. It is impossible to prevent thoughts of want and fear being born in our minds. Once that happens, we have two choices. The first choice is letting ourselves get engrossed and entangled in those thoughts which insist that some feature of ourselves, other people, or the world around us is unendurable and must be altered, effectively telling ourselves: “I can have peace of mind and contentment but this has to change.” The second choice is ‘letting go’ of those thoughts. Succumbing to the first choice will result in our lives becoming disordered and puzzling. It is only when we opt for the second choice that contentment and peace of mind will be restored to us because we then stop constantly looking elsewhere, we accept reality and we stop dreaming of another past or an illusory future. We will then realize that the only place to enjoy peace of mind and contentment is in the existing situation (Bassis). The process of ‘letting go’ is not
Abstract Case study is the process that guarantees that a cram carried out has precision as well as substantiations. Case study can transpire with statistics, scholars, conjectures, as well as theoretical framework. Case study can be statistical source where the scholar accumulates in rank that remains analogous in diverse backdrops; investigator case study, when a contingent of scholars study analogous happenings; Conjecture case study, this when a scholar with multifaceted notions deduce analogous results; and theoretical triangulation, this is a process where the method is trailed by a subsequent scholar, it enhances buoyancy in the evaluation part, Bauer, Anne Bauer, M. and Shea, Thomas M. (1999). Implicitly case study is about carrying out a review in the communal science fastidiously in special erudition. This methodology has also been employed when teaching commerce as well as legal related fields. Under ordinary circumstances, case study is a superlative approach employed when a holistic, in depth review is required. Diverse theoretical frameworks have been employed in research for close to a century as a comprehensive study for a group, an occurrence or society. Nevertheless, the main importance case studies in education and social science research covering huge areas were done using quantative techniques, Bauer, Anne M. and Shea, Thomas M. (1999). In this research paper various theoretical related with case reviews is overviewed taking into perspective of the individual learning case reports. Introduction Explicit proposals have been pronounced to allow the learner to more willingly interpret the substantiation documented. These proposals are anchored on the integration of individual instruction experience as well as periodicals where triangulations in addition to other analogous qualitative approaches have been highlighted. In a nutshell, the stipulation of best practice documentation principles can assist the learners to comprehend the case studies and as such, leading to an increase in the confirmation of the triangulation. In due course, diverse study approaches are, partially as a function of their credibility, exploited to a superior or slighter dimension. A concise recent chronology of case study review offers a vivid example of this multiplicity in the functionality. From the w
Introduction Education leads a person towards self discovery. The education process makes a person conscious; this separates one from those who have not gone through an education process. This is because values that are indispensable in the society are instilled; a person gets good basis for an excellent living in the society. Therefore, education is very important, and it is given a great value in most societies. An educated person is placed high in the society; this sets that person apart from other uneducated people. Education and Self Identity Education brings out a person’s true identity. An educated person will not fear when engaging in activities that benefit the society. This is because the person has enough justifications for all his/her actions. An educated person will weigh all options and choose the best option that explains the choice of the decision made. The identity of such a person will be brought out, and this identity will be good for the whole society; people will seek help and advice from a person whose identity in the society is known. In addition, this person will feel the need to assist to help the society, and he/she will do this without favoring some groups in society. This person knows the evils of engaging in activities that will divide the society, and one will make sure that the whole society is directed to follow and accept changes that such a person wishes to introduce. People start attending school at a very early age. They are subjected to the same training; however, some people do well than others. In fact, each person develops certain areas of interest. These distinctions start to form personal identities. People start following disciplines that will help them in future careers. For instance, some people grow to develop great love for scientific disciplines while others develop their talents in artistic disciplines. These people develop their varied interests; they follow their dreams towards different professions. These people become experts in their respective disciplines; they perform their duties to help other people in the society. For example, doctors help people to overcome ailments and engineers help to construct buildings, roads and other amenities that give people a decent life. In the education setting, a lot is revealed about a person. Some people have a lot of problems interacting with other people, and this part of their being is revealed. People are placed in the midst of other people, and they are expected to fit in these groups. This gives every person a chance to interact freely with others. A person who is unable to interact may become a social misfit. This is because these people dislike others, and they fail to follow common laws that guide relationships within the education setting. Consequently, these people do not participate in group activities, and they feel threatened when asked to do some things for the group. When these people complete their studies, their anti social behavior makes them not fit in the society, and they result in other
Several governments across the world have given a lot of importance to the issues of linguistics and religious diversities. Moreover, professional linguists and specialized organizations have taken a close lead in the discourse surrounding differences in linguistics and religion. For example, there have been attempts to revitalize minority languages in several countries such as Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom. Most of the developed countries have formulated specific national policies so that the minority languages can be given the chance to develop. It is imperative to mention that there are quite a number of minority languages across the world. These languages are generally considered to be under threat. Some minority languages might fade away if urgent and prudent measures are not put in place to protect their existence (De Blij & Ebrary, 2009). Needless to say, multi-million research related projects have been initiated in order to investigate pertinent issues regarding linguistics diversity. It is natural for people to feel passionate about their native languages bearing in mind that language and culture share a common essence. This trend is more pronounced when individuals who belong to a certain language group hold a notion that their language is facing a serious threat. In the study of linguistics, it has been established that there are thousands of languages that were incepted in the history of mankind. However, such languages were eventuality lost due to the dominance of strong dialects. Even the written records of major languages such as Sumerian and Etruscan were significantly modified. Other dominant languages were succeeded by modern ones. The desire to enhance linguistic diversity in the contemporary world has been boosted by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization. For example, the International Mother Language Day was incepted by UNESCO in 1999 during its 30 th session (De Blij & Ebrary, 2009). As already depicted above, language is one of the cornerstones of culture. Therefore, the manifesto of language can be equated to religion. Religious affiliation is also a crucial issue when discussing the aspect of religious diversity across the world. There are tens of visible means that religious adherents use to display their identity in public. These include gestures, symbols, hair styles, and the general mode of dressing. Solidarity and confidence are among the two most important values that are shared by individuals who subscribe to similar or common religious practices (De Blij & Ebrary, 2009). Moreover, various places of worship are cha
