Making Agreements Doesn’t Work. If you ask your loved one to not do something ever again, or to remember to do something, it will soon be forgotten. For people in early stage dementia, leaving notes as reminders can sometimes help, but as the disease progresses, this will not work. Taking action, rearranging the environment, rather than talking and discussing, is usually a more successful approach. For example, getting a teakettle with an automatic “off” switch is better than warning someone of the dangers of leaving the stove on.
Now it is considered offensive and unusual, therefore deviant. It can be difficult to give a clear definition of deviance as a lot of it depends on people’s values and opinions. What one person views as deviant behaviour another may view as normal. Also deviant behaviour is not always bad; there is good and odd deviant behaviour. This makes it harder to define as classifying behaviour requires taking a moral standpoint and judging.
For a more explicit understanding, doubt by definition is the uncertainty of belief or opinion that often interferes with decision-making. Knowledge by definition is the acquaintance or familiarity gained by sight, experience, or report. The correlation between the two is that the more you doubt, the more knowledge you gain because instead of being focused on one certain conclusion, you start thinking about other possible outcomes. This is due to the fact that we use doubt, as well as being open-minded. Being open-minded means to be receptive to arguments or ideas.
Someone with dementia may forget to go to the toilet or even forget where the toilet is and may even have lost the ability to tell when they need the toilet. If carers are not sensitive to this and do not give reassurance that everything is ok, it can make them feel sad and ashamed. Always let the resident know exactly what you are doing, why and when to reassure them they are safe. If they say something you know to be ‘untrue’, do not argue, or challenge, try to divert their attention, change the subject, all the time maintaining respect for the person. Allow them to think their thoughts and just go along with it.
Depending on the story this could lead to some trouble. People might get scared and panic. This will lead to people doing bad things. It would only make it worse if these actions were taken with wrong information. Another issue would be does a specific media conglomeration have their own separate agenda?
She tells John, “It isn’t right to leave me here alone. Surely I am as important as your father.” She also takes the risk and asks him to take better care of himself, asking him to shave and not to work so much. She recognizes that her needs are not being met. “It was something of life she wanted, not just a house and furniture; something of John. Not pretty clothes when she would be too old to wear them.” When John refuses to stay home or to heed her requests, she busies herself by painting, baking and by thinking about how things might get better.
A disadvantage to this will be that the researchers may be biased as they will already have a set of questions therefore likely to gain expected answers. Structured
The ability to be undoubtedly sure of something is a golden quality; however, it can also be a destructive quality if taken advantage of. Certainty and doubt go hand in hand: too much certainty can make a person close-minded and ignorant—on the other hand, too much doubt makes a person unreliable in decision making, which is an important life-skill. Certainty and doubt should be equal in one’s life; they help to solidify opinion and personality and are key tools in learning experience. As children, humans spend the first few years of their lives learning from their surroundings. They gain opinion and personality on what they hear and see.
The nursery is ironic because it is not a nursery anymore because children are not living and playing in it. Jane is living in the room and she is being treated like a child, so she is starting to imagine that it used to be a nursery. There are times when her husband also refers to her in a child-like manner. He calls her “a blessed little goose” (115) when she becomes upset about the room assignment. Jane is not treated as an adult; she is treated like a child who needs constant guidance even when she can handle things herself.
To me the main reason why luv is so misunderstood is because the word TRUTH doesn't play its part. It could be that u are not being TRUE to urself about the relationship. Or it could be that they are not telling u the TRUTH about how they really feel. Wuteva the situation is, people need to understand that when the Truth is told, the relationship will be exactly what u want it to be. Many times, people get scared of the truth and try to hide from it.
