Adult Learning & Leadership: “Patch Adams” By: Laura Goldston Introduction Patch Adams is true life story based on the life a Dr. Patch Adams. A man who believes that it should exist a relationship between patients and doctors. Patch uses humor to heal his patient’s temporality, even though in the film there not his formal patient’s. He visit them, and regular basis gaining the respect of nurse, and staff. The reason why I choose this film, is because it is relative to the filed that I’m studying right now “Health care Leadership”.
Help others and learn how to forgive them as well. As seen in the movie how Morrie gives Mitch the reason to live his dreams, and not to have a life filled with voids. Life is too short to go after materialistic and superficial happiness instead look for things that make one happy wholly. The particular value of leisure that I heard about in the movie was that help others and the importance of showing affections and gratitude to others as it impacts your emotional health in a positive way. Having positive relationships and showing them that you care for them by embracing your loved ones.
He knew that by making the children laugh, he could alleviate the pain that they feel. He always put himself in the patient’s situation that makes him effective and unique doctor. He also treats his patients as a friend or a relative that makes him loved by his patient. The film also showed the downfall of becoming too close to your patients. Being too close to your patients has negative effects too.
In ‘Journey’s End’ the friendship that I want to focus on is Stanhope and Osborne. At the beginning of the play Osborne and Hardy are talking and we can see that Osborne cares about Stanhope when Osborne says “You don’t know him as I do; I love that fellow. I’d go to hell with him.” This quote shows that he does truly care for Stanhope in a way that no one else does, the relationship between them is strong and throughout the play we notice how much Osborne stands up for Stanhope while other officers belittle him when they have the chance. Contrastingly, In ‘The Accrington Pals’ the friendship between May and Eva isn’t as strong as Osborne and Stanhope in my opinion because May is quite reserved when it comes to talking to people who think that she is wasting time not being with Tom when it’s clear that he wants to be with
Determining whether or not people are good or bad also comes from life experiences. The writer says he has had many good experiences of people helping each other, which reinforces the idea of people being inherently good. In another article “Are humans good or evil’ by Paul J Zak, he states that ‘Human beings are highly social creatures. Because of this we are intensely interested in what others are doing, and why. We need to know who is good and bad and therefore who we want to avoid and who we can tolerate”.

It could be argued that Prospero uses his power to benefit all because the play seems like it has a ''happy ending''.Further more, it could be argued that Prospero, having being wronged by many, has gracefully forgiven all. Prospero is also presented as a kind master who takes care of Caliban and educates him until Caliban tries to rape Miranda, Prospero’s daughter. In addition, Prospero also frees Ariel from being imprisoned by Sycorax. Ariel is grateful towards Prospero as a result and calls him ''Great master'' (I,ii,189). Areil further explains his appreciation by saying ''I come to answer they best pleasure ,be ,it to fly, to swim, to dive into the fire, to ride on the curled clouds, to thy strong bedding task '' (l,ii,189-930).
He has good intentions in this relationship; he sincerely helps Vee when she loses her sight. “Here, let me help you...”, he says, “There now. Set down right here” (81). Because they are already friends and, based on his past, Val is a ladies’ man, he has no trouble moving physically close to Vee when she needs his help. After they get to know each other a bit more, and Vee likes Val, it becomes intresting.
The young Psychologist transforms throughout the movie, finally discovering freedom and a sense of being when he is able to stand up for what he believes in, buck the system as much as he is able, and feel good about the job he has done and the man he has become. It seems that eventually he shifted paradigms to become more human resource oriented and person-centered. The Veteran Psychologist, played by Anthony Hopkins, seemed rather autocratic. His messages were deep and harshly taught. He perceived others to be “takers” whose mission was to control the world around them.
However, it helps to strengthen muscles, heart, and lungs. Also the stress of exercise causes endorphins to release that help elevate mood and decrease depression. Throughout your life you will experience examples of eustress. They all provide some happiness and wellbeing such as graduating from a higher learning institute, seeing the birth of a child, and getting a job you have always wanted are all things that come stress, but in the end they provide positive emotions that give value and meaning to life. I should note that eustress does not refer to satisfaction without effort.
