Martyrs: St. Cecelia and Thomas Cranmer People say that dedication to something is an important attribute to have in life. Now this could be referring to an activity, such as a sport, or goal that one is striving to achieve. Then there is a dedication to one’s beliefs or in other words one’s religion. Many say that they are a follower of their religion but they are not truly dedicated because most people do what they want instead of following the guidelines of their religion. Then there is the people who don’t put in the time and effort to grow as a believer in their religion, like not wanting to pray, go to church or study up and learn more about what they believe in.
• The Theory of Archetypes - Geza Roheim argues that the theory of archetypes is unnecessary. As humans share the same experiences, such as dependence on parents, it is not surprising that they construct similar myths. Also, some religious myths come from the experiences of a particular community and so it seems unlikely that they are born out of an idea which is present in all humans. Therefore, it is argued that Jung is not justified in stating that there is an ‘instinct for God’ just because people believe in God. Also, many people do not believe in God.
Prior researches brought out some controversial concerns that arise when spirituality is practiced in the practitioner’s office. There are some professionals who do not value spirituality as important in the counseling profession and there are some who practice it. Suggestions were made by researchers to train those who believe in order for them to apply the right techniques that meet the codes and ethics. The researchers conducted surveys with adult clients and their therapists, clients were both males and females whiles they also considered clients with different levels of religiosity. In their results, participants with low moderate religiosity seemed not to care too much whether their counselors were Christians or not.
While there are many people who do not stray or question their faith in God or Jesus Christ, there are still also many that do continue to retain doubts. Doubt is not fully a bad thing with faith because it is a person trying to make logical sense of the stories and teachings by weighing evidence, and in turn doing further research to which gives us a deeper understanding of our faith and belief. Doubt helps keep us from making fast judgements or conclusions, poor choices, trusting inconsistent people or sources and much more. Doubt is not always an enemy of faith, but it is seen as negative attitude or action by some because it instils the idea of a nonbeliever or weakness in faith. b. Biblical Foundation Biblical faith is belief, trust, or commitment in God through the Messiah, Jesus Christ.
DELIVER CARE SERVICES USING A PALLIATIVE APPROACH ASSIGNMENT Medical dictionaries define palliative care as care that affords relief, but does not cure, while the World Health Organisation (WHO) defines it as 'an approach that improves the quality of life of individuals and their families facing the problems associated with life-threatening illness, through the prevention or relief of suffering by means of early identification and impeccable assessment and treatment of pain and other problems, physical, psychosocial and spiritual’. We can offer our clients a dignified death by allowing them to choose where they wish to be cared for, where they wish to die, and who they wish to care for them. As an active listener, we can hear what the client’s wishes are, and we can execute those wishes as best we can. It is important to ask questions so we can better understand those wishes. Considering each client is an individual, they are likely to have their own preferences and choices, both while they are in our care as well as after they have deceased.
However, when using this approach little value is given to the fact that some of the psychology tends to contradict with theology beliefs. This seems to cause problems since Christian therapists usually look for guidance with the scriptures and are using two contradictory doctrines to create one intervention plan to assist their clients. The “Nothing Buttery” approach, states that scripture is the only doctrine needed to assist clients. In this approach psychology techniques are not needed because God’s word will provide everything needed to have a healthy
. A nurse’s perceptions about quality of life and health promotion could affect the care of a dying patient with a lingering illness, such as cancer. Nurses are patient advocates and it is their responsibility to respect patients’ wishes regardless of their personal opinion. A nurse may personally feel that a patient should use any and all medications available to them such as pain medication, etc. during a lingering illness.
Aquinas rejected univocal and equivocal language when talking about God. Religious language often attempts to describe the attributes or qualities of God. This is hard because God is generally not something we have direct experience of, whereas most of the things that language refers to are things that we can experience e.g. love, walking, hair. So when we say ’God is good’, we need to know that we are using ’good’ in that sentence.
Many will not understand that a leader like this can be effective at remaining at level that is needed to remain competitive in the workforce. It might be looked upon as a comingling of religion in the workplace, one of the taboo topics that that are just not discussed or even brought in. Does the Steward leader need to make others around him or her aware that they are the follower of the higher being? A steward leader is someone who is given the resources to preserve, manage, and grow according to the one that has entrusted those resources.
