Short narrative: Living with one’s mistakes As we grew up, I remember a common phrase that was used by our parents and teachers “live in such a way that you will never have to regret over your past.” The idea behind it was that whatever we did as young children would follow us into our future. This was the story of June, my elder sister’s best friend since they were in elementary school. She was almost like a sister to me because she spent most of the time with my sister at my parent’s home. She was well brought up and disciplined, too; to some extent, I can say that her character was quite exemplary. I even remember the many times she brought me gifts for my birthday and took me to the park for fun. June was indeed a kind soul, a friend who became more than a family for my sister and me. However, this did not continue for long because after they joined the university, we stopped seeing the two of them together as often as before.…
management ethics While most managers are not dishonest, a majority think that management judgments cannot be ethnically neutral and moral management is, therefore, not tenable in the present corporate world. It is for this reason that both immoral and amoral management is a continuous bane of the administration profession since it poses as a pragmatic or innocent philosophy. Both forms of administration do not factor moral judgments into the actions, decisions, and behaviors of managers because of the belief that either management motives should only focus on organization’s gains or business activity exists outside the realm to which ethical considerations apply (Carroll, Brown, & Buchholtz, 2017). Contrary to these views, management should, in addition to remaining positive and productive, conform to the highest principles of moral behavior or professional ethics of conduct and treat all stakeholders justly and fairly. Central to this discussion, this paper will analyze the management ethics, both established formal policy and unwritten codes, of Saudi Aramco. Saudi Aramco is a Saudi Arabian national petroleum and natural gas company represented in the three primary world energy markets of…
Discussion Discussion Topic 1 In particular, The silent patient by Michaelides (2019) has been variously reviewed. Kirkus (2018) offers a critical analysis of the book, highlighting both the strengths and limitations of the literary piece.

Response Paper about Films Movies comprise the most sophisticated and influential art forms, which help viewers, comprehend their lives and those of others around them. From horror dramas to action thrillers, films demonstrate the thoughts of individuals concerning various activities in their lifetime. For example, Julia Kristeva, in his work entitled Powers of Horror: An Essay on Abjection, examines the theory of abjection by highlighting different scenarios where individuals tolerate emotions arising from various situations. Additionally, John Lasseter uses the Toy Story (1995) film not only to entertain children but also to sensitize adults about the importance of change, friendship, and togetherness.

Questioning of Gender Roles in Feminist Stories Many of the stories written in the 19th century that were questioning the traditional gendered roles turned out to be both controversial and successful. Playing her part in the feminism wave, Kate Chopin gives her reflection on the challenge of conventional functions and questions the social conventions in the story, “The Story of an Hour.” In the story, Lois Mallard(the main character) tells of her different phases of reactions when she learns of the death of her husband. On the one hand, the widow is sad, but she also bears a feeling of relief through her using of the demise to unravel the positioning of women in the societal set up of the 90s.

Therefore, superimposing of the two stories creates a reexamination…
Patients from Different Cultures Introduction The current healthcare is quickly adopting to personal and cultural preferences. The world is comprised of diverse cultures whose practices and beliefs vary as time goes. Medical practitioners are not limited to whom to serve; therefore, understanding the different civilizations will impel their services towards clients. Discussion The backgrounds of clients cannot undoubtedly be similar. A client of another culture holds a different perspective on various issues of life that vary from that of a medical professional (Hemberg&Vilander, 2017). In such a case, physicians need to develop means of serving such people lest hurting them instead of making them feel less valued. How Caregivers Deal With Foreigners Firstly, the language barrier is a significant source of misunderstanding in most therapeutic relationships. When caregivers and clients do not speak the same language, there may result in misinterpretation that could cause maltreatment. In avoiding such instances, interpreters are crucial in health organizations. Likewise, patients’ culture, which pertains to values and beliefs held by clients, contributes to building a health nurse-client relationship. Health care providers should aim at…
