Worship essay In the current religious environment, it is essential for Christian leaders especially not to over exaggerate their actions towards performing divine duties. Several spiritual leaders take advantage of their responsibilities to perform fraudulent activities to demonstrate their spiritual power. Sometimes the true essence of the worship is realized post the service; preachers have been taking actions towards making the society live Christian lives. Sometimes during Christian teachings, the preacher recommend for pursuits that fit ideal spirituality. The teachings conducted by pastors is restricted to a religious context and do not involve cultural aspects, arts, and philosophy. The present situations are complicated and expose people to the dilemma that demands integration of philosophy, positive cultural aspects and meaningful art. May religious leaders are focused on protecting worshippers, Jesus on his prayer requested God to purify humanity through the truth that exists in the word. When God sent humans to the world, the Almighty defined a specific purpose for us to accomplish. The difference comes in which activities an individual carries out in his or her life, the choice pertaining…

Verbal language Verbal language sets the core for the writing and reading skills young ones will develop at the beginning and all through their schooling. Oral communication is used mostly in many different aspects of learning from making new friends in school, communicate with their teachers and peers all through the learning period till they graduate. Given all that is on stake a good and strong foundation in language to children will enable them to be successful in their education and social life as it makes them powerful communicators and fluent readers. This hugely boosts their well being and self-confidence that propels them through life. It is clear that readers have to translate print information to language, and that is also done when listening, which is followed by decoding the message. Various studies support this theory and show that reading words and comprehension of a language are different skills that are independent and both contribute to reading comprehension. Caregivers and the guardians have to remember that language develops efficiently in the vast majority of individuals, so they should not focus…

critical discourse analysis Introduction   The research is set to conduct a critical discourse analysis of the short news article in the Urdu language (National language in Pakistan). Since the publication of Norman Fairclough’s Language and Power and Ruth Wodak’s Language, Power and Ideology Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) has not only grown into a significant field of research in its own but also has been widely adopted by researchers in a range of disciplines from Biblical studies (Van Noppen 1996) to urban planning (Hastings 1999).In the overall introduction to Critical Discourse Analysis (1995), a collection of his papers written during the 1980s,  Fairclough described CDA as having “passed through the first flush of youth” and “embarked upon the maturation process”. CDA has indeed sought a reputation, although it has built up formidable weaponry, and demonstrated considerable skill in using its manoeuvres. In my opinion, it has hardly if ever, advanced beyond a guerilla sniping from the margins to a successful assault on the cannon’s mouth. The main innovation incorporated by Critical Discourse Analysis is the integration of the role of…

Continuous quality improvement in hospice and palliative care Continuous quality improvement in hospice and palliative care is very important. Hospice and palliative care include caring for people who either have life-threatening conditions or those who are in the last moments of their lives. It is crucial that the quality of care is topnotch and that it focuses on three main elements. These elements are communication, pain and symptom management, and coordinated care. When these three areas are improved, the quality of healthcare improves as well. We evaluate how nurses can apply continuous quality improvement in hospices. Hospices are part of the palliative care as they care for patients in the last months of their lives. These patients usually have chosen the quality of life as their primary choice in their insurance benefits options (Kamal are al., 2017). Continuous quality improvement focuses on improving the quality of life for these patients. Hospice care nurses can achieve this by providing physical and psychosocial symptoms relief. Physical relief can be through medications and other activities such as massages and exercises. Psychosocial symptoms relief…

Faith Integration Paper   Introduction Since AIDs first came into public attention in the year 1986, it has claimed millions of lives worldwide because preventing its transmission as well as providing care for the already affected population has remained to be one of the major challenges in the public health sector. This is because even in the communities with high rates of AIDs epidemic, social stigma is too often dissuading the victims from seeking help. Although fighting the spread of HIV/AIDs calls for general support from all the sectors, stakeholders have exacerbated the epidemic. A good example is in South Africa where its former president Mbeki rejected basic scientific consensus based on AIDs leading to 343, 00 deaths between 1999 and 2007 which otherwise could have been prevented. As an attempt to achieving the ultimate goal in conquering the spread of this epidemic, religious leaders have been well-placed to guide followers about preventive measures of this disease. Literature Review Multiple studies have examined the mechanisms through which spirituality/religion affects outcomes in those living with HIV/AIDS. There are eight specific articles…

Impact of whistle blowing on health care organizations Exposing information that is deemed unethical, illegal or not correct within an organization is referred to as whistleblowing. According to Mannion et al (2018), Staff always feel unable to speak or when they do, the organizations from which they speak act inappropriately. Whistleblowing impacts Health Care organizations both negatively and positively. In this paper, I will highlight some positive and negative impacts of Whistleblowing. Body Blowing the whistle is a quality maintainance measure.  Maria, Silvia and Rocco, (2016) extensively highlight how whistle blowing has improved the quality of health care organizations. They explain how employees may prefer external channels to report malpractices in an organization. An organization will handle their activities cautiously  if they are aware of the possibility of whistleblowing. Fleming et al, (2018) conducted  a paper-based survey of delegates attending the Association of Surgeons in Training conference and found out that when employees in the health sector become silent witnesses, then there follows poor quality performance. Similar points are raised by Jones A, Craven R (2016) who express the importance…

Romanesque Saints and Reliquaries In most cases, Christians would seek answers to their prayers from martyrs as an intervention between them and God.  Martyrs are people who died for their faith in God; hence prayer through a saint was considered effective. The bodies of the saints or parts of their bodies and possession were stored in containers that were richly decorated. From our textbook, it is clear that reliquaries are any form of objects that hold vestiges. For Christians, relics were those objects Christians believed in. They believed that relics had the power to heal, while others had some spiritual significance. This is because some of the original relics were believed to have been touched by Jesus Christ or the great apostles (Tuggle n.p). Due to their significance, reliquaries were made of gold and other stones. Yet, what made them stand out from each other were the decorations and designs, making them the most remarkable pieces of art in the middle ages. Consequently, the relics and reliquaries were stored in churches and were arranged in passageways, crypts, and chapels for…
