Saint Thomas More Saint Thomas More is one of the greatest Catholic saints in England. He lived during the era of King Henry VII. St. Thomas More defended the Catholic Church from a greedy king. He utilized legislative knowledge to protect against various charges such as treason and support his ideas. Having studied law and representing the poor against the government, Thomas More had attracted attention from the King and the Queen (pg. 80). More stood by his ideas, never accepted incentives given by the government to show loyalty to the King. King Henry and Thomas differed in the views about the Catholic Church. Thomas had the idea that the loyalty of the congregation should remain to the pope. However, Henry wanted to be above the church laws despite him being a Christian. St. More remained adamant to Catholic teachings, and his steadfast actions led to his execution. More teaches us, despite the position we hold in society, we should remain humble. He further explains that we should show perseverance while fighting for ideas. Though the chapter reflects Thomas More…
Understanding the Primary Source The life of Mary of Oignies, according to Jacques de Vitry, is one of a saint as she helped women in the house of Beguines and lived a passionate life weeping as they contemplated the lord. Beguines were a group of women who devoted themselves to a life of piety, although they had no official commitment. Jacque thinks that the critical thing about mary’s life is that of her desire to achieve a more personal communion with the divine. She also preferred to live quietly, and she was always focused on her inward feeling towards God that she could ignore the communal aspect of life. She chooses to ignore earthly pleasures and focused on the nature and perfection of God. The problem in the life of Mary, according to Jacque, is how her life was overlooked. The author enquires why people could not marvel at the life of and the strength of Mary, who invigorated by the wounds of Christ and wounded by the charity was so neglected. Mary was emotionally connected to Christ and…
ETHICS AND SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY Assessment. The assessment shows that I tend to strike a balance between performance, social responsibility, and ethics. I agree with the results. Most organizations gear towards maximizing profits and focusing less on ethics and social responsibilities. This might harm the organization as compared to a positive one example is the case of Junior Guzman-Feliz, a fifteen-year-old boy who was attacked in the Bronx. He ran to a nearby bodega for help, but the owner refused to help and chased him in fear. The owner was partially afraid of attracting the gunmen and also scaring the customers because of the bleeding boy. The bodega was shut down a week later because the public held the owner accountable for refusing to help the dying boy. Organizations ignore their ethical and social responsibilities and tend to focus on making money. The existence of social media has, however, changed the priorities of some organizations. This is because a slight mistake might profoundly impact the organization, as seen in the case of Junior Guzman-Feliz. One negative tweet trend can lead to…
Health Management The primary difference between fee-for-service and capitation reimbursement is the approach to paying. The free-for-service method involves the compensation for medical providers based upon the performed services (Adida, Mamani & Nassiri, 2017). Such services include tests or treatment procedures provided to the patient. This method predisposes no fixed payments. Nevertheless, some of the patients underline the effectiveness of FFS due to a wide range of services. The main essence of the capitation reimbursement method is in the fixed amount per patient provided by the health insurer or physician association. Thus, the primary care physician gets the payment for the enrolled patients even when the patient does not seek treatment. The method is beneficial in reducing the overall healthcare costs due to placing a limit reimbursement offered for specific types of care (Paul III et al., 2014). In this paper, the following questions will be answered. pective and retrospective difference in terms of payment, DRG system of payment. The Meaning of Revenue Cycle and its involvement. Finally on the distinction between bad debt and charity care. difference between…
Contemplation about the Sunna Quote Some quotes from the Sunna remain far from being self-explanatory. One of the quotes linked to the Sunna is the one that goes, “A life lived totally in accord with the Moral, becomes a window into moral knowledge.” In context to the Sunna of Prophet Muhammad, the quote implies that when we leave in accordance with the principles of the Islamic laws, we are enshrined to get a better understanding of what life entails. In my opinion, I think that the quote advocates that we should live in compliance with the principles that are enshrined in the Islamic laws so that it could act as the spiritual entrance through which people can get to know the ways of life. By living in such a manner, we are always presented with the opportunities, fresh starts, beginnings, protection, views, and perceptions to be morally informed of life. There are several examples that could be used to reflect such as the way of life e.g., offering voluntary charity, keeping in touch with relatives and friends, and being gentle…
