Mutuality. Mutuality is the ideal which showcases compromise, cooperation, and equality. Mutuality emphasizes that in finding common interests which present equally beneficial outcomes to both the community and the individual there can be increased community cooperation (Clear & Karp, 1999). The foundation of this concept is inclusion as “by framing the individual’s stake in community life in the context of disclosing and fostering interdependencies” (Clear & Karp, 1999, p. 123), the mutuality model can be achieved. Stewardship. The principle of stewardship demands engagement in the promotion of compassion. It requires that the individual take responsibility for their role in the community. These responsibilities include an awareness of the issues which affect the group. This obligation demands that the individual place the needs of the community above their own personal interests. In placing community requirements above a singular agenda, the individual is encouraged to view the community with personal interest. Rather than a commitment to a set of individualistic values, the community member may seek to balance “individual freedoms against the common good” (Clear & Karp, 1999, p. 126). …show more content…
Within community context, there are three components; stability, social ties, and institutional capacity. Stability can be described as accounting for the transitional status of community members. Social ties relate to the connections individuals have with one another within the community. In analyzing the institutional capacity of a neighborhood, one might look at the local institutions ability to procure membership, or participation from community
A community is comprised of a group of goal oriented individuals with similar beliefs and expectations. Currently the term is used interchangeably with society, the town one lives in and even religion. A less shallow interpretation suggests that community embodies a lifestyle unique to its members. Similarities within the group establish bonds along with ideals, values, and strength in numbers unknown to an individual. Ideals and values ultimately impose the culture that the constituents abide by. By becoming part of a community, socialization...
Our responsibility towards others means our kindness should not only be for family and friends but should be shown to anyone we meet. Compassion is meant to be equal, “if people only deserve compassion based on their actions, then we can hardly expect ourselves or others to feel it toward all human beings. Extending it to everyone would require a shift in focus from action to something shared and underlying.” (LaTour, 10). Relationships based on attraction are unstable because “someone we consider a dear friend one day can become our sworn enemy the next.” (Lama, 539). In order to distribute compassion equally, it is best to not depend it on the circumstances of each person, such as if a person is wealthy or poor. “We forget that just like us, whether fortunate or unfortunate, distant or near, they desire to be happy and not to suffer.” (Lama,
Even though skills along with knowledge are key components of nursing, in my opinion, compassion is crucial to the practice. Nursing is a public service and commitment that takes an irrefutable desire to help people in need, When I enter the field, even as a student, my standpoint will always be to treat my patients how I would want an individual to treat my family. Henderson’s concept of holistic care fits together with my beliefs about what nursing embodies. In practice, my goals are to always view each patient as an individual, center my care on the patient and their varying needs be it personal, emotional, or physical, and to encourage patients to be active in their care in hopes of improving outcomes. I will also strive to bring colleagues together and collaborate with them to provide the best care for our patients.
“Those who care for others… live a life , in a divine way, above others” -Anonymous. Even as small children, we are taught to treat others as we would like to be treated, but as we grow older, the world becomes more complex, and the length to which we should stretch ourselves for others becomes unclear. Some people may believe that one must always put others first, while others put other people’s worries and safety far behind their own. Throughout this year I have gathered artifacts, some support these theories, while others do not, and a rew support my own theory. I believe that the most healthy and appropriate way to approach this moral grey area is to always consider other’s needs and feelings, but you must also consider your needs and know
Community is like a Venn diagram. It is all about relations between a finite group of people or things. People have their own circles and, sometimes, these circles overlap one another. These interceptions are interests, common attitudes and goals that we share together. These interceptions bond us together as a community, as a Venn diagram. A good community needs good communication where people speak and listen to each other openly and honestly. It needs ti...
Working in health care is an important job. People put their trust in us to do our very best to provide them with the absolute best care. Being entrusted with such responsibility requires nurses to conduct themselves both professionally and ethically. Nurses must adhere to the professional values of human dignity, integrity, autonomy, altruism, and social justice. It is these five values that guide us in our practice and as nurses we must promote and emulate these values. They play an important role in the quality of treatment and success of an organization and help us determine right from wrong.

Sense of community has been operationalised as a state like entity, and as the outcome of certain social processes. As such, a conceptual framework has been developed that allows understanding of the way people are socialised into their communities and maintain, or fail to establish and maintain, social engagement. This has also been understood in terms of process analysis of social change. Its linkage to power is important, as it helps define the setting in which power is used and is less likely to be abused. From a process perspective, sense of community is a changing feature of people’s relationships to others, and as such can be a barometer of change in 18 18 community. It can be beneficial in helping people create a sense of identity and a resilience to untoward social change. As a central aspect of the development and maintenance of social connectedness, it is useful in conceptualising adaptive and protective factors for positive life in community. Sense of community can also be associated with negative aspects of social life. The nature of exclusion of ‘others’ can lead to harmful social consequences. Local social cohesiveness can be at the expense of minority groups and newly arrived immigrant groups. It can provide an analytic tool
The Common-Good Approach: advances the common good because individuals whose own good is inextricably linked to the good of the community;
The care we deliver helps the individual person and improves the health of the whole community. Compassion is how care is given through relationships based on empathy, respect and dignity. Competence is the ability to understand an individual’s health and social needs and the expertise, clinical and technical knowledge to deliver effective care and treatments based on research and evidence. Communication is the key to a good workplace with benefits the people they are caring for and for the co workers. Courage enables us to do the right thing for the people we care for, to speak up when we have concerns and to have the personal strength and vision to innovate and to embrace new ways of working. Commitment is vital to show we mean the best for those we are caring for, it helps gain trust (“The 6Cs.”). I apply to a lot of the “6Cs.” I have great communication skills, I am caring, compassionate, courageous, and am very committed once I start
Should the most selfish elite individual take heed and meditate on the ideology behind community, he/she may awaken to the fact that many persons looking after one person has more advantages and a better survival rate than one trying to preserve one. The needs of the one will never outweigh the needs of the collective group. In the end individuality inevitably leads to self-destruction; therefore, commitment to community is a requirement for contemporary Americans and vital to its survival.
Compassion from a care giver needs to be felt towards patients to ensure that difference will be made. A positive attitude can be contagious towards other employees or the ones being cared for. When a nurse approaches a patient with an upbeat, but calm and confident vibe, the visitor excepts and trusts the work that must be done to them. One is put at ease when they are in the that type of environment. Altruism is the ability to be selfless and instead have a dedication to the welfare of others. () In the nursing profession, an employee shows care and empathy for clients, but must do the same towards themselves. A nurse must maintain calmness within herself when with a patient in order to fully provide security for their patient. It is important for the nurse to prevent becoming tired or stressed which may hinder them carrying out their duty effectively. In order to receive and hold humanistic-altruistic values, a nurse must extend forward continuous love, kindness and mental awareness at all times. Altruism is essential in unlocking a nurse 's compassion and empathy therefore creating a more positive and healing environment for the patient. () Not only must a nurse show the proper care towards ones clients with an appropriate attitude, but taking care of an employees own self needs and requirements are
Held (2005) suggests that there is a collective commitment to care of others. Individuals put themselves in a secondary role to benefit and promote the well-being of others. There is an emphasis on practice and value. Pettersen (2011) and Held (2005) contend that the ethics of care recognizes that the caregiver must also protect themselves while promoting a cooperative relationship. The practice of care is done by expressing empathy and working on an attitude and standards which nurtures morally satisfactory
A Community can be defined as a group of people who don’t just live in the same area, but also share the same interests, experiences and often concerns about the area in which they live. Often when individuals have lived on a street or in an area for a while they become familiar with each other and the issues surrounding them. Children often attend the same schools and grow up together, again sharing similar experiences. In some instances adults may work together, and quite commonly all community members will share the same doctors, dentists, hospitals, health visitors and other public services and facilities.
In its simplest form, cooperation may involve only two people who work together towards a common goal. Two college students working together to complete a laboratory experiment, or two inter-city youths working together to protect their 'turf' from violation by outsiders are examples. In these cases, solidarity between the members is encouraged and they share together the reward of their cooperation. Social satisfaction is achieved by a group of people working together or doing activities together. Even though cooperation isn’t that practical with our people in our own society it can be found within the youths involved in sports and other recreational activities. Cooperation within students in schools as mentioned as an example, is practiced on a regular basis during group discussions and group presentations. But speaking about cooperation and society together, cooperation is very essential for society to continue grow stronger and a good living residence for
