Janice E. Fein's Essay 'New Perspective'

I remember on my first day of preschool, my mom told me, “Abby, don’t tell your teachers about your family.” Sitting in my car seat, at the age of 4, I was starting to become overwhelmed with confusion. This confusion bubbled up inside me for years. I had so many questions that I wanted to ask my moms, but I did not have the courage or the strength to ask. Then I grew up. My perspective on the world changed, and I realized that my parents were seen as a calamity to society. That was my perspective though. I wondered what my mom’s was. How did she grow up in a world that only saw her as a flaw in the system? So I asked. Beth Shaffer’s perspective on her past, the present, and the future is an astonishing story.

From the perspective of the social worker Jeanine Hilt, systems perspective could be used to assess Lia Lee, her family or those in the community of the book. System perspective sees human behavior as the outcome of reciprocal interactions of persons operating within linked social systems (Hutchison, 2013). When reading this book at the beginning, one may have thought of it as a story about the collision of two cultures - a story about Lia Lee, Foua Yang and Nao Kao Lee, Neil Ernst and Peggy Philp, and Jeanine Hilt-rather than Lia Lee's story. The lives of Lia Lee, Foua Yang and Nao Kao Lee, Neil Ernst and Peggy Philp, and Jeanine Hilt were interrelated. In addition, the influences of one and another's behavior had impacted the overall well-being of Lia Lee. The mutual roles of caregiver parents and caregiver doctors had to keep adjusting their roles to accommodate changing care needs. For example, the Lees believed in a little medicine and a little neeb for treating Lia's epilepsy, under the circumstance, their beliefs impact Lia's illness when they brought Lia to MCMC for treatment, while, practiced traditional healing to call back her soul. Similarly, concerned for Lia's safety due to her parents’ noncompliance with the medicine,

Barbara Ehrenreich, Audre Lorde, and Meri Nana-Ama Danquah’s illness narratives do more than recount stories of illness.

In the result of this, a majority of her time was spent visiting doctors and taking medicine may be neglecting her daughter in the process. At the age of 10, Cynthia lost her mother due to the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. The death of a parent is considered one of the most stressful life events that a young person can experience (Patterson & Rangganadan, 2010). Parental loss from cancer can impact upon many areas of a young person’s life, and may result in social impairment, threaten a young person’s emotional development and achievement of developmental tasks, and result in psychopathology, both during the immediate post-bereavement period and extending well into adulthood (Patterson & Rangganadan,

Francine Cournos is a medical student that turned to psychiatry after realizing that she identified with people’s stories. In Courno’s biography, “City of One”, she reflects on her past. At an early age, Cournos lost both of her parents, her father at three years old and her mother when she was eleven years old. The loss of two attachment figures at such an early age had a profound affect on Cournos for the rest of her life. Cournos analyzes her experiences as a child, young adult, and womanhood and uses her findings to contribute to explanations of her thoughts and feelings. Cournos aims to provide readers with insight into the various ways children are affected throughout life by the death of

“Upon feeling that she was finally running out of fuel”, I was, at the age of 12, invited for an interview in a elite Czech boarding school which required me to undertake a number of examinations, interviews, travelling and extensive paper work. Despite her worsening condition, she was always there with me, doing all the paper work, practising with me various interview questions and really being the best mum. After I had been accepted to the boarding school, she started to gradually break down due to a number of reasons. While she saw my being accepted as an incredible success, especially for someone from a working class family, my entire family started hating her as they perceived this as her “getting rid of me and her not wanting to take care of me”. Shortly after, she started suffering from short-term memory loss, severe chest pain and loss of balance, leading to the diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis.

During my research into the viewpoints concerning the book of Revelation, I have come away with the knowledge that while there are a variety of differing views with various degrees of merit knowing which is correct is highly improbable. And that the pursuit of greater understanding continues to strengthen my faith and walk as I strive to continue to grow not only from this course but in life. It is through that desire that one can approach with an open mind and spirit the differing views presented concerning Revelation. The four primary viewpoints currently presented are Preterist, Historicist, Futurist, and Idealist/Spiritualist. According to Dr. Zukeran:

Worry lines and frown marks seemed to permanently engrave themselves into the faces of my loved ones. They would speak in hushed tones as they discussed my sister's new world of doctors and medications, careful not to disclose much to me. I realized as I tried to make sense of their words that as badly as I wished to lean on my parents for support, I could not.

I believe the New Perspective shows that Christians should put their faith in Jesus as opposed to the law. Jesus’s death, burial, and resurrection should be the focal point. Believers’ faith should be put on Jesus and I think that was the basis of Paul’s argument. Much emphasis was put on the law and Paul was trying to redirect people’s attention to Jesus and the power of what was done on the cross.

A mother should always be there for her children. It was an unspoken rule of society that women would raise their children to be the best that they could possibly be. To be there at their child’s wedding, to hold the babies, to share the sagely advice. Sadly, not everyone gets to have their mother by their side until the end of time. The day she lost her mother was an unusually cold day in Barcelona, as Daniela remembered it. Her mother had been ill for as long as Daniela could remember; slowly rotting away of skin cancer.
