8. Self-Perception: Do you feel hopeful about the future? What do you think of yourself?

The ecological model of crisis intervention has emerged due to accelerating events in dynamically changing cultures.

9. Tell me how you perceive that people see you, what kind of moral or ethical structure do you feel you have?

Holistic Medicine, commonly referred to as “Alternative Medicine”, is a vast and rapidly growing new scientific field. It is derived mainly from ancient, traditional methods of healing that have often been practiced in the East for centuries. These include a variety of techniques from herbal healing to acupuncture to homeopathy to energy channeling. Due to the large number of methods that are covered by the term, there are various definitions of Holistic Medicine. However, all literature seems to agree that Alternative Medicine, is exactly what the name suggests: an ‘alternative’ approach to healing and medicine. It is a more personal move toward health care, which attempts to connect the mind, body and spirit.

How does an individual’s perspective of, and response to, a crisis define him or her?

Having many values in my life, the assessment found three that stood out to me. Favorably, I am accustomed to helping others. If I see someone struggling with tasks or comprehension, I always try to help them understand. I can remember when I was a toddler how creative I was. I would often fill my days with telling my family stories and making up songs that my imagination couldn’t hold on to. Being 21 now, creativity has still been a major key factor in success. Thinking of ways to improve computer programs at work is part of the creativity. Being stable is the most important to me. Being without a job, a car, and money, are all key factors that could possibly hold me back from not having a successful career.

Knowledge, integrity, empathy, patience, and love are at the core of my ethos. These traits shape my character, nature,

I highly value integrity; I am honest, trustworthy, dependable, responsible, and faithful. I do not complain or argue with others, but rather I sit down and listen to their concerns. I am extremely polite and treat everyone I meet with the highest degree of courtesy and respect. I am a hard worker and I always put forth my best effort. I stay away from bad influences and choose my close friends carefully. I am a stickler for rules and have never once gotten into trouble at school or with the law. I treat others with the utmost respect because the Bible clearly states to “do to others as you would have them do unto you.” My morals and ethics are directly in line with the teachings of scripture, so I look down upon academic dishonesty, taking part in dangerous activities such as drugs and alcohol, and disrespecting others. I strongly believe in perseverance and never giving up, no matter how hopeless the situation may seem, and in never losing faith in your family, your friends, and, most importantly, God because you can always rely on them in the darkest of times to restore your

How is your life different today from what you thought it would be like when you were in your early twenties?

Category 3: Be Proactive is an area I want to improve. I feel I am in control of my life to the degree of which I am willing to make sacrifices for what is most important. I tend to be a “good student” type, working when I need to, always keeping time (which means being early), and doing right even when others are not following the rules. I rarely take advantage of the structures of the work place. I have a high sense of responsibility and commitment to what I say I will do or what is expected of me.

How do people respond to crisis? There are many different ways people respond to crisis. We will examine three ways people respond to crisis: people hide from it, people ignore it, and people take action and stay calm. We will examine these three things with the help of the following passages: “The Masque of the Red Death” by Edgar Allan Poe; “Scurvy at Sea” from “making History with Vitamin C” by Penny Le Couteur and Jay Burreson. And finally “Heroics Behind the Miracle on the Hudson” written by Liana Stanley from “The New American”. So, once again we will see three ways people respond to crisis: people hide from it, they ignore it, and some people take action and stay calm.

You are unconcerned with art: you are less concerned with artistic or creative activities than most people who participated in our surveys. You are assertive: you tend to speak up and take charge of situations, and you are comfortable leading groups. And you are respectful of authority: you prefer following with tradition in order to maintain a sense of stability. Your choices are driven by a desire for connectedness. You consider helping others to guide a large part of what you do: you think it is important to take care of the people around you. You are relatively unconcerned with tradition: you care more about making your own path than following what others have

Time is an important aspect of communication. (Giger Newman & Davidhizar, 2002) Time is important to individuals and cultural beliefs. For example, there are cultural groups who pray in a certain time of day, so as a nurse you have to be aware and respect those times. Cultural groups may be past, present, or future oriented. (Giger Newman &
