JudaismJudaism (began circa 1,800 BC)
This was the first monotheistic religion on earth
God is all-powerful with many prophets, Jesus among
them
Followers are called Jews, 80% of 14 million total
adherents live in U.S. or Israel
Christianity
(began around 30AD)Most followers of any religion: 2
billionMost geographically widespread religionCenters on Jesus
Christ as the savior whose sacrificial death forgives/erases
Christians’ sinsHalf of global Christians are Catholics (the
Americas) and one-fourth are Protestant (Europe and U.S.)
Islam

on the Prophet Muhammad’s teachings & revelations
Green = Sunni
Maroon = Shiite
Buddhism
(began ca. 450 B.C.)Centered in East and Southeast Asia, 400
million followersBased on the example and teachings of
Siddhartha Gautama (the Buddha) who lived in eastern India
around 500 B.C.Life’s core suffering can be ended by releasing
attachment to desires and becoming “awakened”
Taoism
(began ca. 500B.C.)
Lao-Tzu (Laozi) founding spiritualist/philosopher Action

Animism/“Primal Indigenous”PolytheisticPracticed largely

among tribal groupsEverything in nature, even non-living
entities, have a spiritPhysical and spiritual realms are one,
which is opposite of Western thinking
Religious Perspectives on the Human/Environment
Relationship
Questions
How do you feel about Evolution vs. Creation?
Do you feel that people are more important than animals, plants,
and nature?
Do you think about the effects of your lifestyle on the natural
world? (trash, CO2, etc)
Do you believe that nature is here to supply man’s needs or that
we have a responsibility to tend and care for nature as well?
Your responses…Indicate a position relative to some very old
questions!These questions concern the fundamental or essential
nature of the world, and as such they affect geographical
worldviewsReligious/philosophical worldviews affect how we
treat the planet
Man and Nature are Connected
Man and Nature are Separate

Judaism/Christianity/IslamEverything in nature was created by a
single supreme being with unlimited powers.Man’s relationship
to nature is either dominion or stewardship (but separate from
nature either way).Salvation depends on faith and belief
(Christianity) so issues like treatment of animals or
conservation of resources are of minor ethical
importanceEastern religions don’t separate man from nature as
much as Abrahamic religions.
Nature as God’s Handiwork“But ask the beasts, and they will
teach you; the birds of the sky, and they will tell you; or speak
to the earth and it will teach you; the fish of the sea, they will
inform you. Who among all these does not know that the hand
of the Eternal has done this?” (Job 12:7-9)
VERY NEW AGE PERSPECTIVE, VERY
ENVIRONMENTALLY SYNERGISTIC, and also LARGELY
IGNORED IN TRADITIONAL CHRISTIANITY
“Look deep into nature and you will understand everything” –
Albert Einstein
Man vs. Nature
(Man Separate from/Against Nature)And to Adam, the Lord
said: "Because you have listened to your wife, and have eaten of
the tree of which I commanded you not to eat: Cursed be the
ground because of you; in toil shall you eat of it all the days of
your life; thorns and thistles shall it bring forth to you; and you
shall eat the plants of the field. In the sweat of your brow you
shall eat bread, till you return to the ground, since out of it you
were taken; for dust you are and unto dust you shall return"
(Gen. 3, 17-19).

Judaism/Christianity/IslamTherefore, Humans sinned and were
punished by God by being forced to struggle against nature to
survive.
Struggling against nature is therefore part of humanity’s
“fallen” condition
Judaism/Christianity/Islam
Two Ways to View Man’s Role in Nature
STEWARDSHIP
We have a huge responsibility to care for the Earth,
as God’s brilliant creation
or
DOMINION
Nature is here to provide for us, and cannot be harmed by us
(and it’s arrogant and “unfaithful” to think that we are powerful
enough to ever harm nature).
Dominion (in Christianity)“And God blessed them, and God
said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the
earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea,
and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that
moveth upon the earth. -- from Genesis
Dominion (in Islam)“Each thing that God has created is a
wondrous sign, full of meaning; pointing beyond itself to the
glory and greatness of its Creator, His wisdom and His purposes
for it. ‘He Who has spread out the earth for you and threaded

roads for you therein and has sent down water from the sky:
With it have We brought forth diverse kinds of vegetation. Eat
and pasture your cattle; verily, in this are signs for men
endowed with understanding.’”
Islamic Organization for Medical Sciences, ISLAMSET
http://www.islamset.com/env/section1.html
Stewardship“Because God has chosen the sphere of nature as
the setting for human interaction, his covenant with us gives us
the responsibility of caring for, nurturing, respecting,
sustaining, and replenishing his creation. We often respond by
viewing nature as a commodity to be done with as we please.
However, God’s relationship to non-human nature, which has
intrinsic value, calls for a higher ethic.”
Global Stewardship Task Force, Abilene Christian University,
http://emc2.acu.edu/christian_stewardship/christian_stewardship
.html
Stewardship“In Genesis 2:15 humans are told to ‘abad’ the
garden in which they have been placed. This Hebrew word is
most commonly translated as ‘tend’, but elsewhere in the Old
Testament, ‘abad’ is translated as to ‘serve’ (eg Genesis 25:23;
27:29; Ex 14:12).
John Ray Initiative (“connecting environment, science and
Christianity”) http://www.jri.org.uk/
Stewardship (in Islam)Muhammad: “Created beings are the
dependents of God, and the creature dearest unto God is he who
does most good to God's dependents.”
Islamic Organization for Medical Sciences, ISLAMSET website:

http://www.islamset.com/env/section1.html
Judaism/Christianity/Islam
Nature as a place of punishment
Nature as human property (dominion)
Nature as dependent on human care (stewardship)2 and 3 are
contradictoryAll three reflect a single idea:People are separate
or alienated from natureNature exists “out there” as something
separate from us
Buddhism/HinduismNature is populated by an infinite number
of evolving living souls, from worms to human beingsAll
animals and humans experience multiple reincarnations on the
journey to enlightenmentTo harm part of nature is to harm
oneself and potentially delay enlightenmentKill animals only if
necessary (but not cows) (India is 50% vegetarians)Killing
creates negative Karma (debt to the Universe)Delegate this task
(butchering) to “polluted” people of lower social statusAhimsa:
harmlessness (a highly-valued ideal)
BuddhismEverything is connected, the perception of separation
(me/God, me/others, me/abundance) is an illusion
This illusion of separateness is a form of ignorance and a
constant source of sufferingThe path toward enlightenment
involves detaching from the desire to possess and control things
(including nature)
TaoismFollow path of least resistance, Less is MoreWords

usually distract from and misrepresent the Truth. Silence and
nature teach us more than any book or religion (fundamentally
different from Christianity)Learn how to live from observing
nature (same as Job and Einstein quotations). Nature is
amazingly abundant without exerting itself, forcing things, or
developing plans of action (like a river wearing down stones
over time).
AnimismThere are particular parts of nature with special
powersCertain plants may give spiritual insight if they are
ingestedCertain natural features may have supernatural powers
(mountains, rivers, caves, springs, etc.)These beliefs are
common in indigenous people and remain in our culture as
“magic”
ScienceBelief that logic, reasoning and the scientific method
can explain everythingMetaphysical explanations (which cannot
be measured or detected by the five senses) are useless.In what
way would you suppose that Christianity affected the emergence
and evolution of science?
Return to your questions… how do they relate to your sense of
your religious identity (e.g. “I am a Christian”)
What is your reaction to the evolution vs. creationism debate?
Do you feel that people are more important than animals, plants,
and nature?
Do you think about the effects of your lifestyle on the natural
world? (trash, CO2, etc)
Do you believe that nature is here to supply man’s needs or that
we have a responsibility to tend and care for nature as well?

Do you feel a spiritual connection to nature?
Main Post for competing needs
How Competing Needs Influence Policy
Healthcare resources such as hospital beds, drugs, and nurses,
are limited but expected to serve the ever-growing number of
patients to satisfaction (Milliken, 2018). To achieve quality
management health managers balance these needs. Based on the
various needs of the healthcare organizations managers have to
compromise to get to a solution. For instance, in a case where
there are not enough hospital beds yet patients have to only
leave hospitals after total healing, facility administrators
develop policies that will allow patients to leave earlier than
scheduled to accommodate other worse patients. Secondly,
competing ideas result in stretching of previously set terms.
This could involve longer working hours for nurses where there
are shortages or even using alternative medicine where there are
drug shortages.
The shortage of physicians is the number one stressor of the
healthcare services in America. This shortage leaves patients
without satisfactory care in states where there is restricted
practice (Kelly & Porr, 2018).). Although there are experienced
and qualified nurses, they are bound by the law not to intervene
in areas that are preserved for qualified physicians. In some
states, such as Texas, nurses can do little in even basic tasks
such as family health.
Abolishing the restricted practice would be a fast solution to
solving the problem of physician shortages. Nurses who have
above ten years of experience can be permitted to intervene in
minor surgeries and fully taking care of maternity health. This
will lower the rate of disease progression as cases will be
quickly attended and medication offered. Additionally, there
will be ease of task execution by physicians resulting in quality
output. However, this decision risks poor quality interventions
as nurses do not have formal training on requisite skills to

perform some relatively complex tasks (Hall et al., 2016).
Furthermore, there will be a mix up of professionals where a
nurses shortage could soon e experienced.
Another aspect of the policy that is influenced by the scarcity of
resources is the development of health financing programs.
Health resources do not only entail medicine and personnel. The
ability of patients to achieve medical cover has a stake in
shaping health policies. For instance, in 2014, a survey on the
affordability of healthcare by the public in the United States of
America informed the development of the affordable care act
popularly known as the Obamacare, as a legal framework with
the intention of helping the public access healthcare services
without the obstacle of scarcity of money (Cheol et al., 2016).
Finally, in-house policies on healthcare have also been largely
affected by the state of health resources. These in-house
policies are aimed at stretching the reach of resources in the
form of health machines, drugs, health personnel and even
wards for treatment. For example, health managers can decide
to increase the capacity of medical wards with the intention of
accommodating more patients.

REPLYQUOTE
Response from colleques
I agree in removing the restriction placed on Nurse practitioners
in some states. Physician shortage is a growing concern in many
countries around the world, due to a growing demand for
physicians that outmatches the supply (Smith, 2019). The World
Health Organization (WHO) estimates that there is a global
shortage of 4.3 million physicians, nurses, and other health
professionals (Smith, 2019). When there is a shortage of
physician to provide healthcare services to a population, a
number of effects inevitably become evident in the health
system, including: lower quality care, time constraints on
doctor-patient interactions, increased workload for healthcare
practitioners, overworked and stressed practitioners,
unnecessarily prolonged wait time before consultations, higher
prices for consultations (Smith, 2019).
Common policy recommendations include increasing primary
care reimbursement, improving the stressful primary care work
life, and graduating more nurse practitioners (NPs) and
physician assistants (PAs) (Iglehart, 2013).

Environmental quality of health issue in our organization
The environmental quality issue is among the problems that are
affecting the corporate world today. There is pollution in the
environment that has resulted in effects on the economy of the
country. Our organization is affected both directly and
indirectly about poor environmental conservation. There is a lot
of emissions of pollutants, such as fumes that have resulted in
danger to human health. Air pollution has become one of the
causes of cancer, global warming, and the death of plants (Ben-
Assuli,2015). Climatic conditions change drastically, leading to

extreme conditions that do not support the activities of the
organization.
The organization depends heavily on human labor that is
affected by environmental changes. There is a rise in diseases
such as tuberculosis that has resulted in a dirty environment. An
average of three employees are hospitalized due to suffering
from tuberculosis; this has led to low work outputs that affect
the organization's growth and development towards achieving
its mission and vision (Hoflerat el, 2016). When employees get
ill, some activities become standstill without being tackled.
There is work that is left uncovered, resulting in slow progress
in the organization.
Water pollutions is another effect that has degraded the progress
of appraisals on fishery projects. The organization is not able to
start such projects since the central resource of the project is
being affected. The organization suffers in ensuring that it has
covered all the effects that can cause damage to the projects so
that they can commence launching actual plans, which is a
costly process (Mozley, 2017). Environmental health concerns
should be addressed globally because they not only affect that
particular place that pollutants are being discharged but also it
affects all areas despite the location of the disposal. The
organization will suffer to protect its workers, plus ensuring
projects are run smoothly.
Impacts of Environmental quality health issue data in our
organization
Below is the data that shows how our organization has been
profoundly affected by environmental quality issues that are
being addressed by the organization. The following are the most
common diseases that were noticed by the organization
affecting most employees.
Disease
Number of employees affected per year
Cost per year on solving the problem
Tuberculosis
10

$189.7
Typhoid
17
$291.2
Cancer
4
$300.2
Data above shows how the organization has spent to help its
employees from the diseases that have been causing a lot of
impact on it's to the organization.
How Other organizations are addressing environmental quality
health care issue
Other organizations have set movements on helping solve
ecological problems that are current inhibiting growth in
organizations. The changes are to creating awareness on the
importance of having a conducive environment that will support
the development of projects and workers from being affected
(Nelson at el, 2016). There are also social services that some
organizations have launched by ensuring that their employees
are tested and checked frequently over illness so that they can
prevent effects at the early stage. Organizational consultants are
helpful; they make work easier. There is the formation of acts
by governments that protect the pollutions, such as a clean
water act that ensures companies and organizations do not
discharge pollutants into the water bodies without having a
permit of disposal. Once the legislations have been mishandled,
there are penalties that the defying organization will be
subjected to. Through this process, the environment will be
protected.
Non-governmental organizations have also played their role to
help fill the gap of researching to facilitate in making policies
that will help build diversity on the everyday actions towards
environmental conservation. They are also set programs that
will help in the funding process that will help teach citizens on
the importance of having a conducive environment that will
support development.

Strategies that are used to address the organizational impact on
the environmental quality health issue and its consequences
Organizations have set up policies that will help in improving
standards of environmental conservations, such as making
crusades against environmental discharges that will lead to long
term effects. Organizations have set sanctions and policies that
should be followed so that they can regulate disposals into the
water bodies. There is a recycling policy for waste products.
This will protect the environment from being exposed. It will
also help in making other products that will be productive to the
firm’s development. Governments have set policies that will
help to enact control strings in environmental maintenance;
these policies will help to make changes in our environment and
stabilize the conservation of the environment (Wheeler at el
2015).
The policies will affect our organization positively by helping
us avoid mechanisms that will affect our health and
environment negatively. Our organization will keep in line with
the sanctions and policies that have been set to work together
with other companies so that our environment can be set to
standards that favor human survival.

Assignment: Developing Organizational Policies and Practices
Competing needs arise within any organization as employees
seek to meet their targets and leaders seek to meet company
goals. As a leader, successful management of these goals
requires establishing priorities and allocating resources
accordingly.
Within a healthcare setting, the needs of the workforce,
resources, and patients are often in conflict. Mandatory
overtime, implementation of staffing ratios, use of unlicensed
assisting personnel, and employer reductions of education
benefits are examples of practices that might lead to conflicting
needs in practice.
Leaders can contribute to both the problem and the solution
through policies, action, and inaction. In this Assignment, you
will further develop the white paper you began work on in
Module 1 by addressing competing needs within your
organization.
To Prepare:
· Review the national healthcare issue/stressor you examined in
your Assignment for Module 1, and review the analysis of the
healthcare issue/stressor you selected.
· Identify and review two evidence-based scholarly resources
that focus on proposed policies/practices to apply to your
selected healthcare issue/stressor.
· Reflect on the feedback you received from your colleagues on
your Discussion post regarding competing needs.
The Assignment (4-5 pages):

Developing Organizational Policies and Practices
Add a section to the paper you submitted in Module 1. The new
section should address the following:
· Identify and describe at least two competing needs impacting
your selected healthcare issue/stressor.
· Describe a relevant policy or practice in your organization that
may influence your selected healthcare issue/stressor.
· Critique the policy for ethical considerations, and explain the
policy’s strengths and challenges in promoting ethics.
· Recommend one or more policy or practice changes designed
to balance the competing needs of resources, workers, and
patients, while addressing any ethical shortcomings of the
existing policies. Be specific and provide examples.
