This week I have become even more comfortable working at the Capitol. I have also become busier since the staff has become more trusting of interns with daily tasks around the office. Specifically, this week I helped gather research for an individual that wanted more information about a certain topic and how certain constituents have responded to it. I can't describe the certain topic since I was told that the information could not leave the office. Anyways, I printed many sheets of papers that contained lots of information and compiled it in a stack to my sent out to the individual that wanted the information. Additionally, I also helped enter over 300 contacts into our database from neighborhood surveys done this year and last year. This was a lot of work since we had to put the answers to all the survey questions into categories that were simpler to comprehend and easier to enter into the system.

After reading through the chapter on the DMIS stages (denial, defense, minimization, acceptance, adaptation, and integration), I would say that personally, I fall under the “acceptance” stage. “This stage represents an individual’s ability to recognize and appreciate cultural difference in terms of both people’s values and their behavior” (Cushner, McClelland, Safford, Pg. 152). As it states, the individual experiencing acceptance is “beginning to demonstrate the ability to interpret phenomena within a cultural context”, I believe that this is a fitting sentence for myself. Being that I am from a rural prairie town in the middle of nowhere in Oklahoma, and the only people where I lived were other Senecas like my family and friends, I did not experience a cultural shock until I was in the sixth grade and had moved to Florida. In this town in Oklahoma, it was rare to even see someone described as “white”, as racial prejudice is still rampant throughout Oklahoma against Natives and basically, everybody who isn’t. I was taught to be accepting and welcoming throughout my life, and I believe that made the transition into a new cultural system much easier.

I found you post interesting, and as to your question I have not seen, a facility that the nurses [OB] have such a huge responsibility. Labor room or birthing rooms on the unit yes but the other no “…a hospital which contain their own operating rooms, with each primary nurse serving the role of patient advocate, circulating nurse, scrub technician at times, PACU nurse along with being able to provide bedside care for their patients throughout labor”. It reminds me of a very similar situation in a facility where I was night supervisor where the “30 minuet rule for decision to incision” standard often occurred, and with less supporting staff,

Hos 4:6 (KJV) “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children”.

Since it is known that desire is easily manipulated, cares must be the opposite. In support of his position, Frankfurt argues that, “When a person cares about something, on the other hand, he is willingly committed to his desire. The desire does not move him either against his will or without his endorsement. He is not its victim; nor is he passively indifferent to it.” His point here is that cares can be categorized as not a desire, but a more powerful one. Cares are things that do not go away easily and are continuously wanted and thought about. Frankfurt adds, “Besides wanting to fulfill his desire, then, the person who cares about what he desires wants something else as well: he wants the desire to be sustained.” Furthermore, Frankfurt believes that cares are what you want to want, where as desires are just what you want.

Selfish desire, and an obsession with its fulfillment can consume one’s mindset creating an absence of reality. The intention to use selfish desire as a pivotal purpose in life can alter the course of events encountered along the way. Consumption with fulfilling one’s selfish demands and satisfying immediate desires masks the recognition of the effect of those actions beyond the present. This blindness to the implications of one’s actions creates a downward spiral towards an undesirable fate. The only way to influence the reversal of this fate is by being forced to confront it.

From the good deeds of Aristotle to the Hedonist paradox right up to Oliver Burkeman’s contemporary philosophical interpretations, we discover the state of psychological and philosophical chaos surrounding human desperation to pursue happiness, and related tendencies for the goal to become damaged by any action taken within the intent of reaching and sustaining this state of being.

Even so, if we truly know better than we do, perhaps we require a desire that better suits us; for it is possible that one has worn out, out-grown, or simply grown tired of their desire. Many a person, having once fulfilled their desire, compare their experience to that of others, and find theirs lacking; nevertheless, it is not their desire that is to blame. Although there may well be a hierarchy of needs, there can be no hierarchy of desires, such that one man’s desire has more, or less, value than another. No, the problem lies in judging one to be more valuable than another; for even though everyone's situation in life could always be better, one's desire is personal, and its value can never be determined by comparison to another. Comparisons are made to find the relative worth of things, not their value; which is why things are only worth what you or someone else will pay to acquire them. Their value, on the other hand, is intrinsic, intangible, and therefore priceless. Similarly, the value of what you do is established in doing it, just as the full value of one's life is realized only when living it fully. Accordingly, personal fulfillment coincides with the realization that our life has value, and therefore requires more of us than simply acquiring more, getting a better education, achieving goals, and accounting for our needs; it requires

Desire Satisfaction is a very popular view of Axiology which is the examination of value “i.e., what makes good things good and bad things bad.”. Desire Satisfaction states “An event or state of affairs X is intrinsically good if and only if X satisfies or fulfills an intrinsic desire that some person has.”. This argument challenges the motive behind or logic and where the value of the action is held. There are two variations of Desire Satisfaction, one being strong desire satisfactionism and the other weak desire satisfactionism. Both variations have different motives for how we judge good or bad things, the strong theory
