They are all able to contribute to a healthy functioning family system by meeting each family member’s needs and encouraging positive communication (Jamiolkowski, 2008). Unhealthy family systems have negative and possibly long-term effects on a child, both physically and emotionally. An unhealthy family system affects brain development and social development. Moreover, parents hold a particularly important part in their child’s spiritual development. When a family system lacks spiritual modeling, the children do not develop a spiritual relationship and lack religious meaning in their family life (Roehlkepartain, King, Wagener, Benson, 2006).
Sarah's Long Walk Reflection by Adreanna I found so many points of interest in Sarah's Long Walk by Stephen and Paul Kendrick. It was difficult to decide on just one. I have the philosophy that all people are created equal and with that said deserve the same opportunities in life and especially education. As with many of the people mentioned in this book, I agree that , “ without diversity that many groups bring to a school, the whole system of public schools suffers.”(pg 166) In education as in life every individual has a unique contribution to make. As educators, we are influential in the development and outcome , of bringing each individuals unique talents and knowledge forth, without bias.
When I was younger all I wanted to do was find some way to fit in, even though there is no point in trying and fit in when you were born to stand out and be different than everyone else. Everyone tends to adapt and conform to what other people think is cool. Sometimes it’s hard to try and stand out though because others who think they are better than you are constantly judging, even though God created everyone as equal. I myself am sometimes scared to do something outside of the “normal”. My friends are constantly asking why I care what others think and I still haven’t really figured that out yet.
There is even a brief nod to equity theory in this. Some of her peers are also parents but have chosen to hire nannies and continue to work full time. This gives them the advantage at work and creates feelings of inequity in Anna. Drive to Bond: Anna needs to develop the special bond of mother and daughter. Anna also wants to nurture the relationships she worked hard to create with her employer, co-workers and church group.
Mothers nurture and raise their children but in return they realize the true beauty of love in a child. The mentor becomes the mentee in this relationship and many others. Christianity has much of these sorts of relationships, as Christians they are supposed to give of them selves or sacrifice for others and in return they benefit from the situation where they are giving something. We realize that Fisher isn’t the only hurting and broken person who needs help, but the doctor also needs help. This could lead us to assume that everyone is hurting and broken in someway and in need of healing and
For example, “The welfare of all children has always been of utmost importance to me: the abused, the handicapped, the underprivileged, the ill. I can identify them because I know what it is like not to be able to communicate one’s pain and hope” (Klein 250). To Gerda, helping one certain group of people is not enough. She extends her reach to everyone, and this shows her belief. Gerda’s belief in faith in humanity is that people need to lead richer lives by helping those who have nothing.
It may seem safer than living a life of grinding poverty.” This is a subject that throughout the years continues to be an issue, many people don’t speak about their abuse and many people who see abuse say nothing. The victim may have a difficult time talking about the abuse due to fear of being harmed more, fear of no one listening, or fear of embarrassment. The onlooker of abuse may feel that they should not intrude or that they may feel inadequate to have a solution to the issue. In the article A Few Good Men it is reports that “Jesus was not afraid to tackle the injustices of the society of his day. He reached out to the hurting and marginalized, bringing compassion and healing.” (http://livingsocialjustice.com/tag/domestic-violence/) In the bible according to John 4:1-54 (paraphrasing) Jesus came to a well in which a Samaritan woman was collecting water.
Having the love and support of a family is so important for survival. As a baby you are helpless and do not understand or have the skills of obtaining any of your own needs. A family provides for you and teaches you how to do the same for yourself as well as the family you will have. Creating relationships with people other than your family is important too because it helps you understand other people and their different way of life. Being social helps create a better knowledge of the world which is how you decide traits and things that you love and hate.
Over all, the definition of the good life varies for everyone. There isn’t one specific way that a person should live in order for it to be “good”. However, although the definition of the good life is very diverse and open to multiple interpretations, in order to live the best life possible, one should concentrate on doing whatever makes him or her happy, listening to his or her conscience and doing what it right, and establishing good relationships with family and peers. The most key piece to living the good life is doing whatever makes one happy. For most adults, this could mean having a job in their dream career field, and actually wanting to get out of bed to go to work in the mornings.
Another reason could be that most of us, don’t usually think much before behaving in a particular way at a particular time. We don’t think before we act and hence are not even aware that there is some higher-self which we need to practice or learn to achieve. So what actually are the benefits of practicing Spiritual Intelligence? Why should we leave our ego self-centered view of things to believe and work from the
