The Puritans viewed themselves as God's special people. Nowhere do the dangers of this assumption become clearer than in the Puritans' treatment of the Native Americans. Since the Puritans considered themselves God's chosen people, they concluded that they had the right to take the land from the heathen Indians. The American Indians were the "new Canaanites" in America's "Promised Land." The fruit of Puritan theology was brutal. They saw their mission as convert these "Canaanites" to Christianity; failing that, it was acceptable to slaughter them in the name of Christ. There were many conflicts between settlers and natives throughout the colonial period. Religion played a very important role in both Puritan and Native American society, though

In today’s clinical, I was on the smaller less intensive unit. A lot the patients on this unit was more aware of the different situations. I found that talking to these patients was a little bit easier than I first thought it would be. I was really concerned on what I could talk to the patients about and what were appropriate questions to ask and what was not appropriate to ask to them. My biggest fear, was asking a question that may of offend them in way that might make them latch out at me. I also found that the clinical unit was a little depressing and did kind of remind me of jail. I thought that the idea of them not being allowed to have food in their room or shutting their room doors was like taking away some of their basic human rights.

In the television show,

In my clinic this week I was taught how to assess the rooms for checked in patients and clients. I found out that before going into the room to talk to the client about the patient I should look at the patient's chart. When looking through the chart I will be able to find out why they are there and if they are due for anything. After assessing what I should ask for the history I go into the room and get as much information as possible. I was told when talking to the client I should ask open-ended questions due to the fact that this will allow the client to give me more detailed answers. While in the room I should also get some vitals unless the patient is aggressive. These vitals are temperature, heart rate, respiratory rate, mucus membrane,
This semester I learned a lot about writing in English 151. It has been a roller coaster ride with these essays for me this semester. I learned step by step how to write a good essay and how to have your readers be engaged in what you’re trying to tell them. Each essay I did has taught me something valuable I can take to the next level of English. I feel as if as the semester went by I did not take my writing that seriously and that reflected in my grades I received in each essay. It made me a better student and writer and it will reflect next semester. In this essay, I will reflect on what I learned throughout this semester that you should apply in your writing when you begin English 151.
