The Four Paradigms of Human Existence

Modified organisms (GMOs) have in numerous ways affected the composition of our diets considering the fact that they have replaced our healthy and naturally produced food with genetically altered food. These alterations have had significant effects on human health and the society in general. These pesticide resistant foods are products of merging genes of different species together through genetic engineering. When individuals consume these genetically modified foods, they are at a high risk of contracting

worship in Pali, is one of the principle ceremonies in Buddhism. It can be conducted either at home or a Buddhist temple and has no specific time or rules. Puja integrates the principle beliefs of Buddhism which are the three Jewels, Four Noble Truths, marks of existence and karma, samsara, nirvana through the elements of bowing, offering, chanting and meditation. It is with these elements that the principle beliefs of Buddhism are demonstrated. The three Jewels are an intrinsic part of Buddhism. It

Introduction I have chosen to compare Parse’s Human Becoming Theory (HBT) from the simultaneity paradigm and Roy’s Adaptation Model (RAM) from the totality paradigm. These paradigms help to categorize theories by how they view the metaparadigm of nursing; defining health, nursing, environment and person. Neither of these theories is right or wrong they are simply two different ways for nurses to view their patients and their practice. Assumptions Parse’s theory contains nine basic assumptions about

Internet etc. Nursing knowledge is the basis for conducting research in nursing. This knowledge can be obtained by nurses through personal experience and clinical practice. Carper (1975, 1978) illustrates that the level of understanding is governed by four basic patterns such as Empirics, Aesthetics, personal knowledge

1)The two competing paradigms Materialism and Rationalism between ancient Greek philosophers could be narrowed down into two categories. The two concepts related back to the main question; what concept is primary? Physical or conceptual. The materialism paradigm was centered around the belief that matter is an essential component in nature and that the world is just matter in motion. All things are a result of material interaction. Everything is made up of something. Because of this, Materialists

downstream, but thousands of years ago it was the only option to get rid of the human waste. Robert Renugadevi defends Hinduism by saying that, “The Hinduism has revealed the secrets of existence of life on earth and the importance of every organism for mutual survival.” Hinduism has an extending teaching on mutual survival of all creatures. It taches that in order for human kind to survive, people have to respect and protect earth’s resources and the ecology in general. Hindus don’t just have

The desire for positive social relationships is one of the most fundamental and universal human needs. This need has a deep root in evolutionary history in relation to mating and natural selection and this can exert a powerful impact on contemporary human psychological processes (Baumeister & Leary 1995). Failure to satisfy these needs can bear devastating consequences on the psychological well being of an individual. These needs might not be satisfied as rejection, isolation, and ostracism occurs

ontology, epistemology and axiology mades paradigm. Paradigms is literally a model for management research and knowledge with explanations of how it can be produced. Stokes (2011) concluded paradigm as the system built by diverse ‘beliefs and values’(pp110), it can also be viewed as approaches to conceptualising management knowledge (Bryman & Bell, 2015). In light of the interrelation of the three philosophy foundations mentioned above, diverse paradigms acting as various world-views are therefore

is something I’ve been reading about lately.) In the Eighteenth Century, Benjamin Franklin (one of our favorite Philadelphians) claimed that with all of our knowledge and tools in America we should be able to satisfy all our needs with just three or four hours of work a week. Some thinkers of the 1920s believed that by the 1970s ours would become a leisure society. In 1965, a Senate subcommittee predicted that by the year 2000 the average American workweek would be reduced to between fourteen and

that justify going to war. Jus in bello refers to the treatment of prisoners of war (POWs), proportionality, and no atrocious weapons. Jus post bellum is about public declaration and authority and the ways in which wars should end. 3. What is a “Paradigm Shift”?
