Reflection Of Jesus

When people think of “disabled” the words incapable, broken down, powerless come to mind, But they are not they are so unbelievably strong, because they have learned to go through life in a completely new way which is just what makes them beautiful.

“There's nothing more debilitating about a disability than the way people treat you over it.”( Solange Nicole) In today's God abandoning society there are many people voicing about equality. There are feminists, those against racism, those against homophobia, and those opposed to everything. Each group seems to have people standing up for them. Although when it comes to a group of cripples there's not many that can do the standing. Ableism: Discrimination in favor of able-bodied people. While many people don't know that word, or do not believe such a thing exists, there are many things proving that it does. It is easy to get caught up in life and not realize the difficulties people have, especially ones that could be easily fixed, just by

Further to this, is another fascinating account according to Luke (13:10-13) when Jesus heals a disabled women on the Sabbath day in the

In the Bible, God, sacrifices his only son, a respectable, revered "heavenly" figure, allowing Jesus to live amongst sinful people. In human form, Jesus treats the common people's illnesses and performs miracles to help them; above all, he cares for them and loves them.  Jesus is selfless, endlessly devoting himself to helping and serving others, and ensuring that they will

In Mark 2:1-12, the story of healing of a paralytic man is told. Jesus heals this man in front of so-called non-believers in His power. In fact, when He poses the question that “Why are you thinking these things? Which is easier: to say to this paralyzed man, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up, take your mat and walk’? (Mark 2:1-12) There are symbolic reflections of this rhetorical question. On the one hand, Jesus justifies that it is preferable to forgive the sins to heal someone directly. He conveys the message that being the Son of Man, he has the authority and ministry to ‘forgive’ the sins of that paralytic man, however, instead of approaching the healing or the removal of physical ailment, he deals with the matter impressively because he has to give a message to the non-believers in God’s power. He clearly mentions that men have the power to forgive because this ability is God’s virtue. Man is the live reflection of God and thus, he can perform the act of forgiveness and become great in life. The important aspect of this story is to show before the people that Jesus has been born with an authority to heal, cure or forgive people and thus, he is passing the message of God to the entire humankind.

Those with disabilities have to accept their lives as being deprived of some joyful instances that may never happen. Individuals with handicaps may not be able to be active with their (or other’s) children, dream jobs may not be within grasp, memories may not be accessible while other’s take them for granted and shun those who desire that which they’ve already acquired (“People With Disabilities”). Provided, life is hard with a disability but additionally, those with handicaps must suffer isolation which is unfavorable in multiple ways. With isolation the person has no help, no support, no companionship, and feel ultimately rejected shutting them down in a social manner (“People With Disabilities”).

Reflection is a major factor in "developing self-awareness" to improve services provided to everyone around me, this is to develop my own understanding in realising the good and bad made previously. Moving forward with a better understanding, as well as rectifying the mistake whilst recognizing the good points, (Horton-Deutsch and Sherwood, 2008).

There are so many different thoughts that run though a person’s head when they hear the word disability or see a person with a disability. During the Roman and Greek eras a person with a disability was treated very badly, they were killed or abandoned in the woods in Greece, drowned and burned during the Spanish Inquisition, shackled to their beds in the U.S institution because there was an insufficient number or staff members to care for residents and not allowed to attend neighborhood schools and much more. People with disabilities were treated like they weren’t human. During the Greek and Roman era people with disabilities were considered punishments of the Gods a bad or evil sin. Being chained left on hills to die, locked away and forced

In the past, having a disability was seen as a physical imperfection. People with disabilities were treated as moral and social subordinates. We were trained that if a person had a disability they were not able to perform a task with the same ability as a normal person. They have been denied jobs for which they are highly qualified because they have been considered incompetent, or because employers were not comfortable with their presence in the workplace. Occasionally people with certain disabilities have been committed to institutions and facilities because people believed they were incapable of making decisions or caring for themselves or because people did not want to interact with them (Blanck, 2004).

The purpose of this assignment is to discuss the contribution of reflective practice for clinical nursing. Reflection has been defined as a way for individuals to “capture their experience, think about it, mull it over and evaluate” (Boud et al 1985: 19)

During the 16th century, Christians implied that people with disabilities were possessed by an evil spirit. This would mean that men and religious leaders often subjected these people to mental and/or physical pain. In the 1800s

What does this story say about Jesus? Jesus is patient, caring, and wise. Though knowing the shallowness of his follower’s belief and the narrowness of his disciple’s perceptions, he still tested and asked his disciples to search out a solution for themselves. He was therefore better able to teach them and demonstrate his power and care for the people there. Though Jesus calls his followers to abandon everything to follow him, he is not cruel, but caring and wise in completely providing for them. He is the giver of life, fulfilling not only our earthly need but our spiritual cravings as

‘The Disabled God’ basically talks about the discrimination that disabled people endure throughout their lives. For example, Eiesland states how “people who use wheelchairs endure physical debasement when people refuse to meet their eyes or stand beside the chair to talk instead of before the person” (pg. 307). She also talks about how churches and religious people, or society in general, still expect the disabled to completely accommodate their lives in order to live comfortably instead of able-bodied people doing their part and accommodating for the disabled. Many religious people believe that disablement is a consequence of sin. Eiesland couldn’t disagree more.

Michael talks a bit differently than most children and also tends to repeat himself a great deal. This could cause some people to think that he’s not very intelligent which would be incorrect. People quite often stereotype mental disabilities in unfair ways and seem to be quite uneducated about this type of disability in general. Physical differences in people’s appearances cause people to make assumptions that are often incorrect. Since Michael had no physical deformities, someone looking at him would not assume that there was anything different about him, however since he talked in sentences more appropriate for a younger child, they might make an incorrect judgment,

The Giver is a morally driven and thought-provoking story about a young boy called Jonas who lives in a society free of crime, sadness, pain, death, music, color and love. The story follows Jonas as he receives the memories of the past, good and bad, from the current Receiver, who is called the Giver. The Giver transfers memories by placing his hands on Jonas 's forearms. The first memory he receives is of a thrilling sled ride, which he will remake in the end of the movie. Jonas discovers the dangerous truths of his community 's secret past. Armed with the power of knowledge, which he knew about from memories (Ways of Knowledge), Jonas realizes that he must release all the memories to the community to allow them to feel
