I’ve now been at my placement for over a month and have experienced many different opportunities. Over the last few weeks I learned about the process of facilitating a care conference with family members and the resident. I learned how to write up notes about the care conference to chart. Another learning experience I discovered was the process of guardians for residents who cannot make their own decisions. My supervisor and I sat down to discuss the process and went through paperwork on how to

1. Why are bridge laws important for Fodor? Explain in detail. • Bridge laws are important because they are required for reductionism to work. Bridge laws let us know that everything is equivalent. Without these, everything wouldn’t be able to all be reduced to the same level. Without bridge laws it wouldn’t be possible for us to make generalizations because there is no way or point to make that everything is equivalent. We wouldn’t be able to reduce concepts without these. With that being stated

Throughout the previous years, historians have sought to satisfy their insatiable hunger for the past by the means of ancient literature. Yet, along with the plot of ancient tales, historians also search for errors in the manuscripts in order to learn the history of the author rather than the characters. To understand the mistake of the author and the situation of Beowulf’s people, the Geats, one must first recognize the epic’s setting: sixth century Sweden. The Norton Anthology Western Literature Vol. 1 throws

Louis Masur, as a professor of history has delivered a significant contribution to the comprehensive understanding of various events and their relevance to the development status of the American society. In the 1831: Year of Eclipse book, the author presents an important text, in which he discusses the reasons why he believes the 1831, the year of the eclipse, is an important factor in the American development journey. The American current development status is a product of many of events and processes

Tim O’ Brien wants the reader to feel what he felt going through this nightmare. The device he uses is imagery and this is important because the reader can feel like they are a part of the war. He gives an account of the nightmare : “His entrenching tool like an ax, slashing.” I can imagine an angry lumber jack cutting deep into tree, which in his case represented his emotional feelings for the love he had for Martha. Martha was a young, beautiful girl with whom he was so in love, but Martha only

The philosophical methodology of genealogy is not a holistic idea, but rather a perspectival type of history that aims to deconstruct the origins and deeper meanings of historical events. Fueled by Nietzsche’s sense of deconstruction, Foucault also sought to deconstruct all metaphysical ideas and disregard the belief of perpetual truths. His idea of genealogy operates under the assumption that the facts are to be interpreted as opposed to accepted, for facts can be created by the will to truth, or

In her Fire in a Canebrake, Laura Wexler describes an important event in mid-twentieth century American race relations, long ago relegated to the closet of American consciousness. In so doing, Wexler not only skillfully describes the event—the Moore’s Ford lynching of 1946—but incorporates it into our understanding of the present world and past by retaining the complexities of doubt and deception that surrounded the event when it occurred, and which still confound it in historical records. By skillfully

The Meaning and Implication of Oral History In the United States the institutional beginnings of oral history can be traced back to Allan Nevins’s Oral History Project at Columbia University in 1948. As a field it developed in the early 1980s and at this time advocates started to seriously reflect on its methods and implications. Today oral history and public history are considered the growth engine of the historical discipline, absorbing many historians who are competing in a tight job market

Representations are not merely objective truth, but encompass conscious selectivity and emphasis which shape and define the meaning we derive from a text. The importance of the Smithsonian's Bearing Witness to History site as both a historical and American representation causes a divergence in its purpose, between its obligation for factual accuracy and intrinsic support of specific cultural values. Deepa Mehta's film Earth (1996) demonstrates the manipulation of texts to shape the meaning we derive
