The Christian Narra±ive: A Case Study

The three ways that one’s Christian faith motivates him or her towards excellence in writing would be faith, honesty, and loving others. Humanity since the start has communicated through various types of writing. Writing has advanced from the stone age period of drawing into something that progressions a man's thought. History has shown that writing is essential in reaching the intended audience. For example, Biggs stated that, “when an officer develops a reputation as a good report writer, others look to her or him as a mentor. The struggling officers tend to emulate the writing style of the “good writer” and begin to use the same phraseology and word choice,” (Biggs, 2016). In light of the content and presentation of writing one may form

The Christian Faith, the belief of Jesus' sacrifice on the cross and resurrection from the dead through the holy spirit (ghost). The Christian faith has different denominations, or basically different branches or groups of the christian faith. The top three denominations of Christianity are, Catholicism, Protestantism, and Pentecostalism/Charismatic. In 2012, roughly 43,000 denominations existed. By 2025, people have estimated that there will be 55,000 denominations. These three questions, why the multitude of different denominations, does it matter what denomination an individual belongs to, what differences exist between denominations, will be answered.

Abstract The objective of this work is to analyze the work of the infantile-juvenile literature of the Irish writer C. S. Lewis, The Chronicles of Narnia, an important fictional literary narrative, composed by seven chronicles. It will take into account the apparent biblical character revealed through the language figures and the mythical characters employed by the author. In order to explain how Christianity is perceived and recognized in Lewis's work, two chronicles were chosen for analysis: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, and Prince Caspian.   The Chronicles and The Christianity

In recent years, the controversy of parental rights in the refusal and consent to medical treatment for their child is at the forefront. It is generally agreed that the parents’ rights to consent or refusal of treatment should be limited to those decisions that are in the child’s best interest. Yet the notion of “best interests” is very difficult to determine and define. Although parents have the legal obligation to ensure the welfare of their child and to not take actions that may cause them harm, the medical decision making process has particular ambiguity. For instance, what types of decisions

The concept of strong paternalism that involve the patients who are competent, the validity of the wishes of the patients should be considered and evaluated with a lot of keenness. This is because some of the patients have ill reasons towards the decisions that they always give. In this thesis that involve the 19-year old and the doctor, strong scrutiny should be made before the doctor makes the decisions to grant him or her permission of doing what the patient.

According to Daniel Sulmasy, "The notion of medical futility is a lightning rod, attracting all the static in an atmosphere charged with rising patient expectations, rocketing healthcare costs and attacks on professional judgment." Therefore, in deliberating Wicclair 's article, it is imperative that we analyze the nature of the ethical conflict surrounding medical futility with specific references to claims based on patient/parental autonomy as well as identifying and justifying relevant professional norms that would normally ground a duty to limit futile treatment.

On Sunday, November 2 at 10:00am, I attended Shepherd’s Community Methodist church in Lakeland, Florida. It had been several weeks since I had attended church and I was looking forward to worshiping and learning from the message that would be delivered by the pastor. At a United Methodist Church the first Sunday is “Communion Sunday” and I was excited to take part in the sacrament of Holy Communion at the service. Pastor Mark Reynolds was the pastor that delivered the sermon titled “The Best Investment”.

The case study refers to the importance of gaining consent as a health care provider. If consent is not given by a competent adult (either the patient or a parent/guardian) then the patient has the right to sue for negligence as they have suffered because of treatment being conducted

When discussing children signing a pledge and making a commitment to be involved in Christian Endeavor, the book emphasizes the need to “Go Slowly.” It urged leaders to take time to meet with children individually to make sure they fully understand and are sincere in their faith and commitment. It says to be certain children are “not attracted to the novelty of the affair” (p. 10). This idea is not often at the forefront of ministry in our culture, which regularly uses novelty to entice children and uses the number of people making commitments to prove the validity of a ministry. Especially in regards to children, who are very impressionable, leaders should not seek to pressure children in any way. I think it’s also important to note the book

In modern medical ethics, patient autonomy is largely believed to be a major principle when making decisions about an individual’s health. It allows patients to have the right to practice their autonomy willfully and freely. Children and mainly adolescents have the right to take part in medical decision making to some degree. In most cases, the parent, child, and doctor are all in agreement, but this may not always be the case in some situations, instigating physicians to face problems and practice their ethics. No patient should be treated as incapable to make decisions based on mental immaturity unless his or her irrationality or mental immaturity is proven.

One concept from the course that is strongly present throughout the case study is that once Mrs. S. loses consciousness, she is considered an incompetent patient. This means that Mrs. S. cannot make decisions for herself. Since this is the case, her only family member/son is deemed the surrogate for her. Therefore, the son speaks on behalf of his mother and makes all decisions for her. Another topic presented in the case study that correlates with class discussions is that the treatment for Mrs. S. is an extraordinary treatment. Even though Mrs. S. is endangering her life without going through with the surgery, she is still allowed to morally object the treatment. Additionally, the case study correlates with pseudo-vitalism.

When visualizing the inside of the church in Salvation, my mind pictures a large white chapel with double wooden doors out front with cement steps leading to the entry. Atop the church a large cross or steeple signifying a house of worship. A place where young and elderly come to share a common ground. If you were to pass by this church during a midweek or Sunday sermon one can almost hear and feel the earthquake caused by singing, praying, and clapping bustling from the church doors and windows. Stepping into Auntie Reed’s home church old wooden floorboards meet your feet making your presence known amongst entering the building. Creaking floors lead to heads turning. A late church attendee will always be noted.

The depressed patient can't make his own decisions simply because depression is a serious mental disorder (as the physician addressed). Since Alfred is having depression and stopped the treatment before the effect of the medicine can be seen, his decision is incompetent. A useful way to evaluate such an impact of depression is to let the spouse take the decision for the patient based on his wishes past when he was clearly not depressed, and the family should respect the autonomy of the patient when he was competent. Since the wife is stressed and can't make the decision. We, as a committee, decided to hear from her about her husband's past life and assume the best decision for him. She recalled to us that her husband

The Christian religion finds its foundation on the Word of God and the work of Jesus Christ. Christianity finds its beginnings with Jesus Christ about 2,000 years ago, when he, the Son of God, came down to earth to teach, heal, and die for the sins of humanity. After God created man, man openly rebelled against Him, causing a rift in their relationship. Since humans cannot save themselves, a perfect and completely innocent sacrifice was necessary in order to purify and restore mankind. Christianity comprises and emphasizes Jesus’ death and resurrection, as well as denying oneself and following Christ.

Emilio S. also seeks medical treatment from a traditional doctor, and this may present some issues with his health. this can also be an ethical dilemma because respecting the father’s wishes can create conflict with his daughter and the healthcare team. The resolution of this dilemma will be difficult due to the
