The self-control theory suggested that people engaged in criminal behaviors as they believed that crime was an advisable way of fulfilling their self-interest, which provided them a sense of pleasure immediately. Everyone has different ability to control their impulses for instant satisfaction, the ability mainly developed before puberty and relatively stable over the life span. The probability for engaging in criminal behaviors was greater in people with low self-control than those with high self-control. Moreover, the self-control theory suggested that the relationship between self-control and the involvement in criminal behaviors was less affected by factors like peer influences or cultural influences (Gottfredson & Hirschi, 1990). Therefore, self-control theory is totally different from differential association theory. According to Gottfredson and Hirschi (1990), the major cause of children with low self-control may be inefficient parenting. Parents should monitor their children, keep the children under surveillance, and actively react to improper behaviors. They should be able to recognize when deviance occurs, then punished and disapproved that misbehaviors. If the parents failed to do so, children with low self-control may be produced and thus the children may have a greater likelihood to commit in
“I am still determined to be cheerful and happy in whatever situation I may be in.” that quote is one of Martha’s more famous quotes. Martha was born June 2, 1731. When Martha married George Washington on January 6, 1759 that is when she wishes George luck at the First Continental Congress. While George was off leading the army at the Revolutionary War, Martha stayed at George’s winter encampments until the war is over. When Martha returned to New York, she witnessed when the Continental Congress signed the Declaration of Independence. When the people elected George to be the first president, Martha brought the position of first lady to their attention. Martha was the nation's first first lady and she set the line of other first ladies. It is important that she set the setting for all first ladies, because it helped outline the duties for the future of first ladies. The world is different by how all the future first ladies act and what their duties are.
When mentioning women in history, Abigail Adams is never far behind on the list. Most commonly associated with her husband John Adams, the second president of the United States, Abigail is actually quite a very interesting person when examined individually. Born in 1744 in Massachusetts, Abigail was able to live in colonial America in the time frame before, during, and after the Revolutionary War. She was able to observe the way of life of people in this era, most importantly the women’s side of things. As a mother of 4 and wife to President John Adams, her thoughts, actions, and experiences differed greatly from many of the women living at the time. She is an important historical actor because the role she played as a women concerning education, politics, and gender equality became a great standard for all women to follow at the time and onward.
Eleanor Roosevelt Eleanor Roosevelt’s work has made a significant impact in the interpersonal domain. Her work touched the lives of millions of Americans and influenced many aspects of American politics. She was a master of her domain, interacting with millions and breaking down many barriers. Her work can be considered creative because it is so unconventional. She took on roles that were considered untraditional for women, and with an innovative approach.
First Lady of the United States (FLOTUS)[1] is the title held by the wife of the President of the United States, concurrent with the president's term of office. Although the first lady’s role has never been codified or officially defined, she figures prominently in the political and social life of the nation.[2]
Everyday in this world, elderly, adults, teens or children become ill or get into accidents and need medical attention. Whether these elderly, adults, teens or children are taken to a hospital, pediatrician, specialist, or clinic, a doctor and a nurse will tend to them. The nurse plays a role that is just as important as the doctor. Nurses work very closely with the families as part of the caring process. Every member of the family plays a role in different ways. The nurses are there to help the patient as well as the family step through the illness or injury. They provide information for the prevention of future illness and injury, and help to comfort the patient and his/her family. It is vital that a nurse understands that to be a nurse, you need a certain personality and understanding of the field.
Caring is the biggest aspect in the nursing field. Aspiring nurses choose to become nurses because they want to care for people in ways that most professions cannot do. Without caring nursing would not be the field it is today. The culture of caring involves intervening programs that help to build caring behaviors among nurses. As nurses become stressed and become down on their life it has shown that caring for oneself before others is key in caring for patients. Lastly, throughout the years many theorists have proven that caring has come from many concepts and ideas that relate directly to ICU nursing.
The third edition of ”Eleanor Roosevelt: A Personal and Public Life”, written by J. William T. Youngs, was published in 2005 by Pearson Longman Inc. and is also part of the Library of American Biography Series, edited by Mark C. Carnes. The biography itself and all of its contents are 292 pages. These pages include a table of contents, an editor’s and author’s preface, acknowledgments, illustrations, study and discussion questions, a note on the source, and an index. The biography of Eleanor Roosevelt (1884 – 1962), wife of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1882 – 1945), pays great respects to whom Youngs believes to be the most influential woman during the 20th century. By writing one third of the book on E. Roosevelt’s early life, Youngs is able to support his thesis which states that E. Roosevelt’s suffering, and the achievements of her early years made it possible for her to be known as the greatest American woman of the twentieth century. While Youngs was able to support this theory throughout the book, he failed to tie his original thoughts up towards his conclusion, making his original thesis hard to follow.
Watson described caring as an essential in nursing, which itself is described as a human science and art. She pointed to a transpersonal caring relationship and a specific type of professional and human-to-human contact (Pajnkihar et al., 2017). As healthcare providers, our goal is to positively affect the experience of our patients and their families. Caring is an important aspect of the nursing practice; the reason for selecting this concept is because it is viewed as the most important part of our profession.
Nursing contains many aspects of professionalism. Appearance, responsibility, respect, and attitude are a few components that contribute to what makes a patient feel comfortable when dealing with nursing professionals. But, what about caring? Caring is also an important aspect of professionalism in the nursing field. If a patient does not feel a nurse or medical professional cares about them on an individual bases, they may not be willing to be as open and honest about what their ailments are. Which poses a problem; how can a nurse take “care” of a patient if he or she is not willing to divulge what is wrong? Secondly, listening is also another part that contributes to professionalism in the nursing environment.
What is caring? In any healthcare profession caring is an important concept, but what does it really mean to care? Opinions on the meaning of caring vary depending on the person and the situation. It seems that most people think of caring differently than nurses do, and nurses think of caring differently than other healthcare workers. Which arises another question, is caring in nursing different than other healthcare disciplines? What does it mean to care as a nurse? Why is caring important in nursing? After speaking to friends and family I have heard many different thoughts on what caring is believed to be defined as.
There are many types of family that exists in today’s society, each important to the upbringing of any children of which may be apart of it.
From my point of view, the concept of care or caring is very complex. It includes concern, attention, love, kindness, compassion, protection, trust, support, responsibility. On the one hand, caring for somebody is a very hard work, but on the other hand, caring is a very rewarding experience. As a parent and a wife, I can say that when you care for your loved ones you create the intimate connections that makes you feel happy and whole. As a nursing student, I would say that caring in nursing is even broader concept compared to the personal caring for family.
They come to the hospital to look for a solution. Some of them get better easily, while some of them take a long time to get better, and some of them, unfortunately, die during the process. “Caring involves being there for the patient or family in whatever way is needed at the time” (Adams, 2016, p. 2). The actions of a caring nurse can help the patient to get better because they are the ones that are there for them unconditionally. They are the people that are in charge to give them the medication on time, they are the ones that are there during the most painful time, they are the first ones to notice their recovery, and they are the first ones to see the patient’s smile. The nurse’s caring earns the patient and family trust due to their hard
