Dr. Alvord's practice is intriguing in that she defines herself as being in the middle of two worlds. She has used her two worlds, her Navajo background/upbringing and her study and practice of Western medicine to find a balance between the two, for the most effective healing. She believes that the two kinds of healing must come together. Dr. Alvord explains that in her tribe,there is a lot more to healing than getting rid of a disease or illness. Healing has to do with the encompassing of all parts of an individual; their body, mind, soul, and everything in between. Real healing cannot take place without recognizing this balance between all parts. This concept known as “Walking in Beauty” is a “way of living a balanced and harmonious life, in touch with all components of one's world...a path to better health and healing and life” (Alvord 3). This worldview of “Walking in Beauty,” is also named “hozho”, a concept that greatly impacted the way Dr. Alvord practiced medicine.
Dr. Alvord used her belief of hozho to influence how she treated her patients and believed that it had a huge impact on their healing. She noted that when things seemed to be harmonious, pleasant, and running smoothly, the outcome of the patient's surgery or healing was usually positive. When she began to realize how much of an impact hozho really had on her patients, she began to be more conscious of the harmony that she and the members of her medical team would bring. She said that, “In response to this realization, I took more time to talk to my patients, to establish a bond of trust with them before surgery (Alvord 15). These simple actions that a lot of patients in today's world do not get to experience seemed to make big differences in how the surgeries would go and how successful the outcomes would be. One example of where hozho (or lackthereof) played a big part in Dr. Alvord's practice was when she was operating on a lady named Evelyn. Evelyn's fairly routine surgery ended up with complications and she had a stroke, leaving her partially paralyzed. Every test that came back proved that the reason for the stroke remained a mystery. Dr. Alvord then realized that between Evelyn being nervous, herself being frustrated, and arguments between the operating team, disharmony has definitely occurred. Dr. Alvord asked herself, “Was the stroke Evelyn's body's response to the disharmony that had prevailed during her surgery?” (Alvord 74). This event proved to be a wake up call for the doctor who realized that hozho was more important than ever. She began to participate in any and every effort that would make her patients and all of the patients of the hospital the most comfortable. She made sure that harmony and balance existed in all aspects of the patients' treatment and healing.
Although Dr. Alvord believed that incorporating Navajo beliefs into Western medicine, especially the idea of hozho, would be beyond beneficial to the medical world, she does recognize that it will n.

Financial statements are crucial documents with details of what the company earns, how they earn, as well as what and how the company spends its money.
The income statement shows figures of profitability of that given company over a period of time. The statements usually include detailed sections of revenue, gains in addition to their expenses and losses. If revenue and gains are greater than expenses and losses, the income statement will show a profit for the company
The balance sheet provides information about the company's financial situation over a period of time. This information is used to make certain business decisions for future projects, plans or general business operations. The balance sheet includes more information than that of the income statement. This information included the company's assets, liabilities, in addition to the stockholders' equity (their investment). The assets should always equal liabilities, plus the stockholders investment(s).

Good! The income statement tells us what we've earned, our sales and expenses, and in the balance sheet we see our assets and liabilities, and owner's equity. The equity will also increase if we have net income and other investments from our owners. Our income statement tells us a lot especially when we compare months over time - we can see trends of expenses and revenues; and analyze what has changed.

Owners equity statement - This shows and explains changes in the retained earnings. Retained earnings are on the balance sheet and will change due to incomes or dividends.
Cash flow statement - A company could be successful, yet lack cash to pay its bills. This will show sources of cash and where cash is being used.

Donald,
You bring up a great point about the cash flow statement. I was a small business owner in a retail strip center. I cant tell you how many conversations I had with fellow business owners that were struggling to pay there bills; however they showed a profit. The company used the money in various ways other than appropriately such as product that did not sell, decorations, "write-offs" for their home. I do believe that many small businesses fail because they are underfunded and do not use simple accounting principles to determine its health.

Value of Donated Assets
Which is the proper value to be assigned to certain donated assets? (This is a question for which answers cannot be found in either GASB pronouncements or the text), research is necessary.
A city’s road maintenance department received “donations” of two type of assets:
1. From the county in which the city is located it received earthmoving equipment. The equipment had cost the county $800,000 when it was acquired five years earlier. Accounted for in a county proprietary fund, its book value, net of accumulated depreciation at the time of donation, was $500,000. Its fair market value was $530,000.
2. From the city’s own utility fund (a proprietary fund) it received motor vehicles that had cost the city $400,000 when acquired three years earlier. At the time of transfer, the vehicles were recorded on the utility’s books at $180,000, net of accumulated depreciation. Their fair market value was #225,000.
Write a 1000 word, APA you answer style paper where the following:
1. At what value should the city record in its government-wide financial statements for: (1) the earth-moving equipment, and (2) the motor vehicles?
1. Briefly justify your response, commenting on any apparent inconsistencies in the values assigned to each of the two types of assets.
1. Comment on the significance of the resultant book values for decisions or assessments to be made by statement users.
Myth Clash Paper #1
Zheng Hui
The present paper will discuss how different ancient poets describe the myths. It will compare and Contrast the two versions of the myth of the Cyclops Polyphemus in the Archaic Greek poet Homer’s Odyssey (EH 298-314) and in the Hellenistic poet Theocritus' poem (Idyll 11) (ACM 399-401). It will also elaborate how Roman poet Ovid combine elements from each of these earlier poets’ versions to make his own version of the myth in his poem, the Metamorphoses (OM 374-381). In general, the paper will discuss and analyze the differences and similarities among several versions from different aspects including characters, features, techniques and others.
According to ancient Greek myth, there were three separate tribes of the mythical, one eyed giants known as Cyclops, or Cyclopes. One of them is the Ouranian Cyclopes, who was the offspring of Gaea and Ouranos. Besides, there is also another Cyclops called the mason-Cyclopes, who represents workers in Hephaestus’s forge. The third one is the shepherd-like Cyclopes, who was neighbors of the island-dwelling Polyphemus, who was a son of Poseidon (Weinstock, 2013). Based on the description of the Cyclopes in the ancient Greek myth, one feature that is present in all these Cyclopes is that they had one unique anatomy. In addition, they all had a single round eye in the middle of their foreheads. In fact, the eye, according to the Greek poet Hesiod, is the source of their name.
In Greek, Cyclops means “circle-eye.” These giants .

SPE 352N Module 3 Lecture Instructional Strategies for Teaching Students With MR
When thinking about how to instruct students with mental retardation, educators must consider the fact that instructional organization and effective instructional delivery are the keys to success. Instruction is not just done in some sort of haphazard, discovery-learning manner without any particular goals in mind; rather, teachers should be thinking about their students' particular disability and their associated learning characteristics from start to finish.
Three Assumptions To Guide Instructional Delivery
Assumptions in science have to do with laying out ground rules or basic agreements about how something is to be interpreted, discussed, or studied by interested parties; it is much like setting the rules for playing a game. Similarly, teachers need basic assumptions to govern the science and practice of teaching. The first assumption teachers should come to agreement about is that due to the unique learning characteristics of students with mental retardation, instructional procedures that work well for typically developing students may not work as well with this population (Taylor, Richards, & Brady, 2005). The learning characteristics of students with mental retardation will ultimately affect what actual skills will be learned and what educational goals can realistically be attained. So while typically developing students will benefit from the global general education curriculum, the educational goals and specific skills students with mental retardation will focus on will depend heavily on the decisions of an individualized education plan (IEP) team as they consider the unique educational needs and monitor instructional progress over time (Miner & Bates, 1997).
The second assumption teachers of students with mental retardation should adhere to is that instructional progress can only be obtained if that instruction is direct and explicit. The idea that typically developing students do not need precise instruction to make academic gains is losing ground in America because s.

· WEEK 1: Databases and SecurityLesson
· Databases and Security
Databases are in just about everything we use today. When you are performing any task, think to yourself, Does this involve a database in some way?
As a daily process, communication occurs between people by many mediums, but there is no other medium more utilized than the large internetwork of computer systems we know as the Internet. When we look at some of the transactions that are performed on a daily basis, it is highly likely that there is a database involved. For example, if you open a web page to www.google.com and type a keyword in the textbox to search for, this process starts a series of searches through multiple databases. Another example is when searching for a book in the APUS library, this search is conducted using a database of books known as a catalog. so databases play an integral part in our daily lives; they store millions of pieces of data and more is collected each day (Basta, 2012).
In recent years, we find that technology has expanded to the reaches of utilities and production environments. Many of the utilities we come to rely on so heavily, such as gas, oil and electric, have been tied into the networks we use today. This interconnection allows for many new innovations in keeping everything in working order, but at the same time it also presents some very real threats to security. In reality, an intruder could take down an entire electrical grid which would remove power to millions of customers. An article in CIO Insight gives a great perspective on this and other issues in security where databases play such an important role (CIOInsight, 2011).
With the importance of securing the database infrastructure, we need to look at a multilayered approach to security. As can be seen in many security programs, multiple layers allow for strong security because it adds another roadblock that an intruder has to bypass to get to these systems. This same approach leads us to begin with the foundation of security; the CIA Triad. It all begins with the most basic approach, computer security and moves forward from that point on. Below is a detailed description of the components of the CIA Triad from (Basta, 2012):
· Confidentiality: For a system to provide confidentiality, it needs to do two things: ensure that information maintains its privacy by limiting authorized access to resources; block unauthorized access to resources.
· Integrity: This refers to the efforts taken through policy, procedure, and design in order to create and maintain reliable, consistent, and complete information and systems.
· Availability: This refers to the efforts taken through policy, procedures, and design to maintain the accessibility of resources on a network or within a database. These resources include, but are not limited to, data, applications, other databases, computers, servers, applications, files, drives, shares, and network access.

· Unit 4 Citizen Rights
INTRODUCTION
In George Orwell's Animal Farm, the assertion that "all animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others" signals the breakdown of any semblance of a fair society. We have probably all experienced it: a situation where someone who was better connected, more influential, or in a position of power could advance far beyond the position or actions of the common person. On a typical day, this happens in travel, restaurant seating, the selection of a church pew, and the line at the grocery store.
It should not, however, happen in our public services. As citizens, we all have rights, and we all have the same rights. That is the beauty of the United States's democratic government structure, and perhaps one of the most cherished aspects of it. Economic and social diversity aside, when we interact with the government, we expect to receive the same treatment, whether we are a Rockefeller or a plumber. The reality is that this balance of citizen rights is difficult to achieve, because in many cases, those wielding power and influence attempt to trump equity.
TOGGLE DRAWERHIDE FULL INTRODUCTION
Inherent in the concept of citizenship is the exchange wherein citizens give allegiance to a nation and receive protection offered by that nation. Citizens therefore have certain privileges in the eyes of the nation, such as the right to vote, to pay taxes, and to refuse certain actions, such as reciting the Pledge of Allegiance because it refers to God. There are benefits and entitlements that the citizen can demand from the government. These rights are balanced by responsibilities, such as upholding the law, participating in government, and engaging in the same privileges previously mentioned.
In this unit, issues of the middle class, the welfare state, and what constitutes citizenship will be examined based on the concept of citizen rights.

He had said, after all, in the hubbub of parting: I am your father, I will never abandon you. He had said that, hadn’t he, when he hugged and then let her go. But at the moment Cleófilas was busy looking for Chela, her maid of honor, to fulfill their bouquet conspiracy. She would not remember her father’s parting words until later.

· Part I Key Case SummaryThis case discusses the Union Carbid.docxLynellBull52
· Part I: Key
Case Summary
This case discusses the Union Carbide gas leak that occurred in Bhopal, India in 1984. Over five thousand people were killed and hundreds of thousands were injured after water inadvertently mixed with methyl isocyanate (MIC) causing the release of a deadly gas. The plant in Bhopal was a pesticide production facility that served the increasing demand of India’s thriving farming industry. However, uncontrolled zoning allowed the plant to be built within close proximity to a densely populated region. While the plant was initially profitable, market changes negatively impacted revenue forcing budget cuts that led to the decay of maintenance and safety practices. There are several theories as to why the incident occurred such as a disgruntled employee’s maliciousness or an accidental contamination. Over several years, Union Carbide paid out hundreds of millions of dollars to the survivors and ultimately ceased to exist, while the community continues to struggle with the aftermath of the disaster.
Main Critical Issues (the list):
· India’s officials adopted careless zoning practices and allowed the construction of the plant near dense population.
· The proper safety procedures were not followed and the equipment was not being properly utilized as designed. UCIL managers placed a higher weight on cost cutting than on safety, resulting in the reduction of maintenance and safety practices.
· Union Carbide Corp. did not require frequent reporting from its subsidiary in India (UCIL), which allowed malpractices and unsafe systems in the Bhopal plant to go unnoticed.
· Union Carbide Corporation and UCIL had an ethical obligation to warn the surrounding community of potential dangers of living close to the pesticide plant
· If the case, the disgruntled employees action to sabotage the plant to take vengeance
· Employees and supervisors in the Bhopal plant did not follow numerous policies and routines that could have prevented the tragedy (e.g. acting upon the alarming increase in the tank pressure, instead of postponing it to after the tea break).
· The residents were not informed of what actions to take in the event of a toxic leak or accident.
· The employees did not use the emergency buses to evacuate surrounding residents.
·
Part II: Key
Stakeholders:
The following are the stakeholders in the case: The Union Carbide’s Corporation Stockholders, The Bhopal’s population, The Indian Government, The Bombay Stock Exchange, The Union Carbide’s workers from de Indian subsidiary “UCIL”. The workers from Union Carbide headquarter in Connecticut, The Board of Directors of Union Carbide Headquarter, and The Board of Directors from Union Carbide’s Indian subsidiary. The American and Indian lawyers. UCIL’s Executives. Carbides’ Scientifics. Indian Scientists and engineers. Indian Court Systems. Insurance company. Indian Public. Corrupts Physicians.

· Perceptual process is a process through manager receive organize and interpret information. According to this case, after Andrea decided quit this job, Sam chose Grant for the manager position from three candidates, even he is not very suitable for this position, because Sam strongly believes the manager have to be a full time based on previous customer experience(He believed that you can’t be a part time manager and that his customers would think Vibe was not a serious company if he appointed a part time manager for marketing and public relations-Sam Nguyen) Moreover Sam thought Grant could Increase himself-awareness to achieve demonstrate good relationship with customer.
· Job satisfaction is a collection of positive or negative felling that an individual holds toward their job. In this case, Andrea is a good example of having a negative felling of her job. ( Sam’s only criticism of her was that she seemed to live to work). Because Sam does not care about the employee satisfaction, Andrea can not get more spiritual benefit even get good salary. People may have different level of the job satisfaction. In this case, Andrea work long hours, she may feel very stressful, she is happy with cognitive job satisfaction, but not with the affective job satisfaction.

· Performance Critique Assignment· During the first month of.docxLynellBull52
· Performance Critique Assignment
· During the first month of class, you are required to attend a theatrical production and to respond to it in the form of a performance critique (due February 29). A performance critique is a short essay in which you describe and offer your perspective on the specific choices that were made in a production. For this particular assignment, you are asked to develop an argument about how the production choices reflected (or failed to clearly reflect) the play’s central message.
· This piece of writing is uniquely tied to your own experience as a spectator in the theatre. Your critique should engage with the production as performance. This is different from doing a simple literary analysis of the main themes in the play. You should explore how these ideas are communicated through specific scenic choices – acting, directing, design, use of space, etc. – and make an argument about how these choices contributed to the production as a whole. Did they further the audience’s understanding of the message it was trying to convey? Did they make sense within the world they were trying to create? Was the text more alive because of them?
·
· *If there is a director’s note in the program, this will be particularly useful in ascertaining what the director’s intentions were or why he/she chose to stage this play in particular.
·
· A Performance Critique Looks Like:
·
· Format: 4 pages, 12-point font, double-spaced, 1” margins. Consulting other sources is not recommended (and you should definitely NOT consult other reviews of the performance), but if there is a secondary source that you feel provides important supporting information for your argument, you may use it if you include proper MLA citation.
·
· Ticket: Staple your ticket stub to the back page of your paper.
·
· Description: Give the audience a sense of the play. Include information about the name of the production, location, notable cast members, etc. Also include a very brief description of the main action, and/or the driving character relationships, and/or the genre (period piece, musical, etc.). When describing the action of the play, use the present tense.
·
· Argument: You should move far beyond saying simply whether you liked or disliked the play. Be sure to develop a clear thesis about what you think the production company was attempting to accomplish and whether they were successful.
·
· Specific Examples: Remember to provide specific examples to back up your argument. Your critique should help readers "visualize" the play. Provide relevant and evocative details. You will likely want to address several of the following elements: Acting (were the characters believable? Were they supposed to be?), Directing (Did there seem to be a unifying concept behind the production? How was that concept realized? Did the different elements of the production fit together?), Costume/Set/Lighting/Sound Design (H.

SYNCRETISM AND ITS SYNONYMS: REFLECTIONS ON CULTURAL MIXTURE by CHARLES STEWART
(If you would like to read the article from which this excerpt was taken, you can find it in Doc Sharing.)
The subject matter of anthropology has gradually changed over the last twenty years. Nowadays ethnographers rarely search for a stable or original form of cultures; they are usually more concerned with revealing how local communities respond to historical change and global influences. The burgeoning literature on transnational flows of ideas, global institutions, and cultural mixture reflects this shift of attention. This increased awareness of cultural penetration has, furthermore, been instrumental in the critique of earlier conceptions of “culture” that cast it as too stable: bounded, and homogeneous to be useful in a world characterized by migrations (voluntary or forced), cheap travel, international marketing, and telecommunications… In this body of literature the word syncretism has begun to reappear alongside such related concepts as hybridization and creolization as a means of portraying the dynamics of global social developments.
My purpose in considering the history of syncretism up to the present is not to enforce a standard usage conformed to the domain of religion; nor is it my goal to promote syncretism to a position of primus inter pares in the company of all other terms for mixture. I see my approach instead as an attempt to illustrate historically that syncretism has an objectionable but nevertheless instructive past…
Current Discussions of Mixture
Cultures, if we still wish to retain this term (and I do), are porous; they are open to intermixture with other, different cultures and they are subject to historical change precisely on account of these influences. This has no doubt always been the case…
Cultural borrowing and interpenetration are today seen as part of the very nature of cultures… To phrase it more accurately, syncretism describes the process by which cultures constitute themselves at any given point in time. Today's hybridization will simply give way to tomorrow's hybridization, the form of which will be dictated by historical-political events and contingencies… As [Edward] Said expresses it: all cultures are involved in one another, none is simple and pure, all.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

What is the purpose of the Sabbath Law in the Torah. It is interesting to compare how the context of the law shifts from Exodus to Deuteronomy. Who gets to rest, and why?
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

Dr. Alvords practice is intriguing in that she defines herse.docx
1. Dr. Alvord's practice is intriguing in that she defines herself
as being in the middle of two worlds. She has used her two
worlds, her Navajo background/upbringing and her study and
practice of Western medicine to find a balance between the two,
for the most effective healing. She believes that the two kinds
of healing must come together. Dr. Alvord explains that in her
tribe,there is a lot more to healing than getting rid of a disease
or illness. Healing has to do with the encompassing of all parts
of an individual; their body, mind, soul, and everything in
between. Real healing cannot take place without recognizing
this balance between all parts. This concept known as “Walking
in Beauty” is a “way of living a balanced and harmonious life,
in touch with all components of one's world...a path to better
health and healing and life” (Alvord 3). This worldview of
“Walking in Beauty,” is also named “hozho”, a concept that
greatly impacted the way Dr. Alvord practiced medicine.
Dr. Alvord used her belief of hozho to influence how she
treated her patients and believed that it had a huge impact on
their healing. She noted that when things seemed to be
harmonious, pleasant, and running smoothly, the outcome of the
patient's surgery or healing was usually positive. When she
began to realize how much of an impact hozho really had on her
patients, she began to be more conscious of the harmony that
she and the members of her medical team would bring. She said
that, “In response to this realization, I took more time to talk to
my patients, to establish a bond of trust with them before
surgery (Alvord 15). These simple actions that a lot of patients
in today's world do not get to experience seemed to make big
differences in how the surgeries would go and how successful
the outcomes would be. One example of where hozho (or
lackthereof) played a big part in Dr. Alvord's practice was when
she was operating on a lady named Evelyn. Evelyn's fairly
routine surgery ended up with complications and she had a
stroke, leaving her partially paralyzed. Every test that came
2. back proved that the reason for the stroke remained a mystery.
Dr. Alvord then realized that between Evelyn being nervous,
herself being frustrated, and arguments between the operating
team, disharmony has definitely occurred. Dr. Alvord asked
herself, “Was the stroke Evelyn's body's response to the
disharmony that had prevailed during her surgery?” (Alvord
74). This event proved to be a wake up call for the doctor who
realized that hozho was more important than ever. She began to
participate in any and every effort that would make her patients
and all of the patients of the hospital the most comfortable. She
made sure that harmony and balance existed in all aspects of the
patients' treatment and healing.
Although Dr. Alvord believed that incorporating Navajo beliefs
into Western medicine, especially the idea of hozho, would be
beyond beneficial to the medical world, she does recognize that
it will not be an easy task. She comments that, “The Navajo
view would mean a 180 degree shift for many doctors, but by
implementing certain Navajo ways, I believe doctors can
achieve better results in their practices (Alvord 16). In everyday
life, many people would agree that being calm and peaceful in
the most difficult situations can be tough, but always makes for
a better outcome.
I think hozho is an important idea that doctors and patients
alike can benefit from. Dr. Alvord's strong belief in her Navajo
practices along with her knowledge and study of Western
medicine made her a very effective doctor. With her passion and
drive to maintain hozho in the healing environment, she was
able to make a big impact on her patients. Although many of her
Navajo ideas and beliefs helped make her practice more
effective, hozho was definitely one of the most influential and
prominent concepts that she cherished and used.
The autobiography of Dr. Lori Arviso Alvord tells the tale of
the first female Navajo doctor in the United States. Dr. Lori
Arviso Alvord is of Navajo background and upbringing has
3. brought about many different challenges as well as various
opportunities compared to those in different positions or those
who come from different upbringing/various backgrounds. Due
to her unique circumstances and available resources, Dr. Lori
Arviso Alvord was raised through her tribe in which several
different practices are exercised which differ from typical
Western studies. One of the unique aspects her tribe practiced
was the concept known as “Walking in Beauty” which is
encompassing the beauty of all parts of an individual, thus
recognizing a person’s body, mind, soul and spirit (everything
else). Her tribe emphasized the importance of this concept by
describing it as “living a balanced and harmonious life” (Alvord
3), and highlighted that it leads “a path to better health and
healing in life” (Alvord 3). In comparison to Western studies,
Dr. Lori Arviso Alvord needed to deviate from her Tribe’s
culture and habits in order to excel in the study of Western
medicine. This ideal concept that her tribe practiced poses an
issue as it is a religious belief that may conflict and interfere
with practices exercised through Western medicine and study.
Instead of forgoing her past and dawning a new future in the
field of Western medicine with a clean slate, Dr. Lori Arviso
Alvord took it upon herself as a challenge and opportunity to
inherit this tribal concept that is cherished among her people,
and incorporate it into the way she studies and practices
medicine. Dr. Lori Arviso argues that modern medicine, rather,
Western medicine and studies do not acknowledge any sense of
relation to spirituality which she identifies as a key component
which could further research in Western medicine if applied.
Dr. Lori Arviso Alvord’s inspiration stems from her interest in
further pursing her medical knowledge. In her words, “One of
the most intimate things you can do with a person is to cut them
open and change what is inside of them”. Although Dr. Lori
Arviso Alvord comments on this, it conflicts with her cultural
and tribal beliefs and nature of having a profound sense of
reverence with the body. Although this aspect conflicts with
her interest in surgery, Dr. Lori Arviso found that she could be
4. convinced early in her career that the Navajo philosophy of the
harmony of all things “Walking in Beauty” is a philosophy that
ultimately can be used to aid the healing process for her
patients. Dr. Lori Arviso Alvord believed that by incorporating
this ‘barrier’ into her research, she could use that as her tool to
excel. This later became Dr. Lri Arviso Alvord’s unique edge
which allowed her to find a balance between the existing
harmony of all aspects in her patient’s treatment and healing.
Dr. Lori Arviso demonstrates a passion which helped her
overcome the many challenges and barriers in order to identify
and select the most optimal choices given the various
opportunities.
Dr. Alvord worldview reflects a combination of Navajo
and Western culture. Dr. Alford stresses the importance of the
duality of biomedicine and traditional healing in treating
patients. Dr. Alford believes western medicine lacks in
spirituality and emotional connection with the patient. Navajo
healers works with a person’s mind and body while also using
religion and medicine together to heal. Therefore incorporating
surgery with spirituality and harmony with a patient will cause
a positive outcome of surgery. She works as a surgeon primarily
with Navajo patients at GIMC hospital. Many of the western
doctors do not understand the Navajo’s worldview of healing;
therefore Dr. Alvord is extremely beneficial to GIMC because
she understands the Navajo’s culture. Dr. Alvord knows how to
relate to a families culturally based religious orientations that
many western doctors do not understand. Dr. Alford tries to
form a bond or trust with her patients before a surgery because
she believes that harmony will be balanced. The harmony shared
between herself and the patient during surgery will cause the
surgery to be successful. She is also very beneficial to the
practice of biomedicine because she tries to teach the patient
what the surgery will be like so the patient can trust her as a
doctor to heal; therefore in the OR there will be a sense of
hozho and beauty.
5. I know many people who feel uncomfortable going to a
doctor’s especially opening up their bodies to someone they
barely know. Doctors tend to not ease the anxiety for the patient
by trying to emotionally connect to the patient instead the
doctor just examines the patients body only asking questions
related to the illness or the issue at hand. Dr. Alvord makes
valid arguments on how this sense of emotional connection and
spirituality is lost in biomedicine. However she does see the
necessity for both biomedicine and elements of emotional
connection with patients. For example she adjusted a patients
surgery in order for the patient to attend a ceremony before the
surgery. Dr. Alvord noticed that “the hataalii, sings, and
ceremonies like the Yeibechei calmed patients considerably, and
a calm patient was a much better candidate for surgery”
(Alvord, 113). Dr. Alvord also mentions that having a calm
patient also lowers the blood pressure and heart rate during
surgery. Dr. Alvord believes a way of fixing biomedicine is to
incorporate communities of care to integrate families and
communities into patient care and for doctors to show respect
for the patients culture and needs.
