Webster dictionary gave a number of definitions of ‘Ritual’: “a system of rites, a Ceremonial act or action, a customarily repeated often formal act or series of acts”. In our everyday dealings there are different forms of actions taken that are repetitive but cannot be classified as symbolic eg, bathing, sleeping, and eating. However, if we kneel, and say a particular word of prayer and make the sign of the cross before doing any one of the above routinely, then that can be considered a ritual because it can be decoded as symbolic to the Catholic religion, and to other observers as a way of devotion.
There are some symbolic rituals associated with health practiced by various cultures. In the Catholic Church the sprinkling of Holy water by the priest and burning of incense during Eucharistic prayers is believed to ward off evil spirit, and promote good health and everything progressive for the congregation. The vestment of the priest, the setup of the altar and the arrangement of the pews are symbols of a place of worship. The prayers said at every mass are rituals and members believe attending mass keeps them in good health, and good standing in life. So it is with other religious practices. As stated by Wintz, S., and Cooper, E. (2009), Islamic religious beliefs are based on five principles: “shahadatain (declaration of faith), Salat (prayer/worship), zakat (charitable contribution), sawn (fasting), hajj (pilgrimage to mecca)”, are all the five principles that require some degree of rituals to perform them. In health matters, doctors are seen as helpers of God’s will, so they are not restricted in the course of treatment, (p.21-22).
As a child I remember my maternal grandmother had a large clay pot with water in it at a corner of her living room; decorated with white/red colored cloths, and figurines like a shrine, where every morning as traditional worshipper, she said her prayers. We were never allowed to play close to the area. But the water from the pot which she drank she gave us to drink too when we visited. She believed it promoted good health and good luck in life. I cannot say for sure if those deeds worked, but she lived to be 103years before she died in 1978.
In the hospitals as described by Helman, C., (2007), the white coat worn by the doctors and other health professionals are symbolic, and the stethoscope used for checking blood pressure and other vitals are the rituals, performed to diagnose illness or certify clean bill of health. So many instruments, computers, hi-technology machines, the arrangement of the doctor’s consulting room, are all symbolic rituals associated to health and illness (p.227). For a patient who is certified ill; all these could symbolize healing, or may signify death, especially for the elderly. The process of getting admitted as illustrated by (Helman), is how a sick person goes through some rituals, such as being stripped of their social statu.

CHAPTER 25 Faith and Prayer
Prayer indeed is good, but while calling on the gods a man should himself lend a hand. Hippocrates
"You’re being religious when you believe in Jesus or Buddha or any other truly holy being, but wow, you’re being spiritual when you become the loving compassionate, caring being they all inspire you to be."
by Robert Thurman.
Health care sciences have begun to demonstrate that spirituality, faith, and religious commitment may play a role in promoting health and reducing illness. Nurse clinicians and researchers, as well as others, are becoming more interested in the connection between religious faith and survival. Increasingly, people are beginning to recognize that faith is good medicine. Spirituality is that part of individuals that deals with relationships and values and addresses questions of purpose and meaning in life. Spirituality unites people and is inclusive in nature, not exclusive. It is not loyal to one group, continent, or religion. Although spirituality is not a religion, being involved in a particular religion is a way some people enhance their spirituality. Yet, people can be very spiritual and not religious. Spirituality involves individuals, family, friends, and community. Individual aspects are the development of moral values and beliefs about the meaning and purpose of life and death. The development of spirituality pro- vides a grounding sense of identity and contributes to self-esteem. Spiritual aspects relating to family and friends include the search for meaning through relationships and the feeling of being connected with others and with an external power, often identified as God or a Supreme Being. Community aspects of spirituality can be under- stood as a common humanity and a belief in the fundamental sacredness and unity of all life. It is that which motivates people toward truth and a sense of fairness and justice toward all members of society. Spiritual health is expressed through humor, com- passion, faith, forgiveness, courage, and creativity. Spirituality enables people to develop healthy relationships based on acceptance, respect, and compassion.
Religion can be described in a number of ways. The definition chosen for this text is one developed by Mickley, Carson, and Soeken (1995), three nursing researchers. They believe that religion develops and changes over time and is composed of people’s beliefs, attitudes, and patterns of behavior that relate to the supernatural God, the Divine One, the Great Spirit, Creator, and so forth. Religion usually includes a group of people who hold similar beliefs, have sacred texts, share religious symbols, and participate in shared traditions or rituals. Many people may say they are spiritual but not religious, while most religious people also identify themselves as spiritual (Carson & Koenig, 2008; Young & Koopsen, 2011).

The rituals and ceremony that follows the death of a person in order.pdfanonaeon
The rituals and ceremony that follows the death of a person in order to dispose off the body
along with religious fervor is called a funeral. Normally family and friends are the attendees who
follow the funerary customs and beliefs based on complex religious practices to remember and
respect the dead. Grieving and death rituals vary across cultures and are often heavily influenced
by religion (Chachkes & Jennings, 1994; Younoszai, 1993). How and when rituals are practiced
vary depending on the country of origin and level of acculturation into the mainstream society.
The duration, frequency, and intensity of the grief process may also vary based on the manner of
death and the individual family and cultural beliefs (Clements et al., 2003). These rituals give the
families and friends a chance to give up the deceased and properly mourn the loss. Common
secular motivations for funerals include mourning the deceased, celebrating their life, and
offering support and sympathy to the bereaved.
Types of funeral rituals based on religions:
Assignment topic - Organ donation
Organ donation is considered as an honorary way of disposing off a dead body. On deceased
donor can save up to eight lives and can save and enhance more than 100 lives through tissue
donation. Organs that can be donated after death are the heart, liver, kidneys, lungs, pancreas and
small intestines. Tissues include corneas, skin, veins, heart valves, tendons, ligaments and bones.
The cornea is the most commonly transplanted tissue. More than 40,000 corneal transplants take
place each year in the United States. Most major religions support organ and tissue donation.
Typically, religions view organ and tissue donation as acts of charity and goodwill. Costs
associated with recovering and processing organs and tissues for transplant are never passed on
to the donor family. The family may be expected to pay for medical expenses incurred before
death is declared and for expenses involving funeral arrangements. the average North American
traditional funeral costs between $7,000 and $10,000. This price range includes the services at
the funeral home, burial in a cemetery, and the installation of a headstone.
While the cost of organ donation is a widely accepted part of the procedure today, some scholars
have analysed the ethical incentives involved in this act rather than its monetary counterpart.
There have been instances in the past where the act itself was performed with an altruist motive
and the donors were left uncompensated, whether dead or alive. Despite that, there are other
ethical incentives apart from a sense of magnanimity that a person feels from organ donation.
Board (2002) talks about various forms of such incentives that influence people’s behaviour. A
donor medal of honour can be thought of as similar to an award for employee of the month in
terms of the satisfaction that it provides to people. Apart from that he also talks about a medical
leave for organ donation in order t.

Definereligion and identify its key components.
What is religion? Religion is a social institution composed of a unified system of beliefs, symbols, and rituals—based on some sacred or supernatural realm—that guides human behavior, gives meaning to life, and unites believers into a community. Based on this definition, religion is a stable institution that exists independently from individuals who attend religious services or officials (such as priests, pastors, or other clergy) in the administrative hierarchy. Religion is sometimes thought of as a platform for the expression of spirituality—the relationship between the individual and something larger than oneself, such as a broader sense of connection with the surrounding world. As such, spirituality involves the individual’s inner, subjective feelings and experiences rather than the act of giving devotion to external beliefs, rituals, and deities that are set forth in established creeds or religious communities.
In the final analysis, both religion and spirituality require that persons engage in a leap of faith—a confident belief that cannot be proven or disproven but is accepted as true. Religious beliefs require faith because religion provides answers for seemingly unanswerable questions that underlie human existence. According to the sociologist Peter Berger (1967), these questions are Who am I? Why am I here? How should I live? What happens when I die? Berger suggests that religion provides a system of meaning that connects people to society and provides them with a sense of purpose that transcends the ordinary realm of life (Figure 17.1). Consequently, religious beliefs bind people together and establish rites of passage through various stages of life, such as birth, marriage, and death. People with similar religious beliefs and practices gather together in a moral community (such as a church, mosque, temple, or synagogue), where they engage in religious beliefs and practices with similarly minded people.

Hanukkah, a major holiday in Judaism, provides worshippers with the opportunity to come together and worship their Creator and celebrate their community.

Given the diversity and complexity of contemporary religion, how is it possible for sociologists to study this social institution? Most sociologists studying religion are committed to the pursuit of “disinterested scholarship,” meaning that they do not seek to make value judgments about religious beliefs or to determine whether particular religious bodies are “right” or “wrong.” However, many acknowledge that it is impossible to completely rid themselves of those values and beliefs into which they were socialized.

One of the greatest breakthroughs in Monetary technology is that the innovation of Cryptocurrency. Whereas there has been plenty of buzz around cryptocurrency, there’s disproportionately less clarity on what it extremely is. Cryptocurrencies square measure the way of liberating the finance system from banks that sometimes unsuccessful, by creating it clear. They allow all transactions to be verified on a public ledger.
Cryptocurrency:
Cryptocurrency could be a digital or virtual currency that uses cryptography for security. A cryptocurrency is troublesome to counterfeit owing to this security feature. A process feature of a cryptocurrency and arguably its most lovely attract, is its organic nature; it’s not issued by any central authority, rendering it on paper resistant to government interference or manipulation. It is created and stored electronically which can only be saved in computers or websites. These transactions are facilitated through use of private and public keys for security purpose. All cryptocurrencies will have following common characteristics: Digital, Decentralized, Independence, Cryptographic, Identity and Transaction Verification.
Some of the Cryptocurrencies
: Bitcoin was the foremost invented cryptocurrency in 2009, Ethereum, Litecoin, Namecoin, PeerCoin, Ripple, Primecoin, Auroracoin etc.
Advantages:
The usage of crypto currency is fast, cheap and there are no charge backs. People cannot steal information from merchants and its as private as you wanted to be. Its usage is easy and fat payment without using the credit card or sign any document, we just need to know the address of person or organization to whom one has to transfer money, payment processing is very fast. It also ensures that transactions are secure. There are no processing charges to complete the transaction.
Disadvantages
:
Main disadvantage is it is not widely accepted like in physical stores instead of real money. It cannot be retrieved like traditional/physical money if we lose the digital currency information (information saved in laptops.

Instructions for Primary Source Analysis
Primary Source Analysis due: 6 March
(worth 15%)
primary-source-analysis-rubric
Primary sources are sources created in the historical period being researched and by historical actors themselves. (Contrast this with secondary sources, which are after-the-fact scholarly analyses of the past.) For this assignment, you will submit to me a 2-3 page analysis of that source along with instructions as to how I can access your source (or a copy of the source attached to your essay). PLEASE NOTE: You must incorporate a tertiary source and at least one secondary source to substantiate your analysis.
Keep in mind that primary sources can come in many forms. They can be maps, diaries, letters, memoirs, newspaper articles, government documents, posters, pamphlets, photographs, advertisements, paintings, films, novels, songs—just to name a few. If your source comes in a non-textual form (such as a film), please submit it to me in the form appropriate for its genre (such as a video or DVD, etc.).
The purpose of this assignment is to work on how to analyze a primary source. Your goal is to analyze your source excerpt as
deeply and as thoroughly
as possible. Do not simply provide a general summary or overview of your source. Think concretely and
critically
about its content, its historical context, the historical cultural values that shape it, and its relevance to your research. What are the author’s tone, style, and argument? What are its strengths and weaknesses? Read between the lines to discover its biases and assumptions. Depending on the nature of the primary source you select, the source may be as short as a paragraph or two or as long as dozens of pages.
In structuring your Primary Source Analysis Essay, you should address the following questions. Do not simply list answers to the questions below.
Rather, you must write your paper in essay form.
It should have an introduction, several body paragraphs, and a conclusion. You do not need to address the questions in order, but be sure that you address the questions
that are relevant to your source
in your essay. Your essay must be a polished piece of writing. I will grade it for both content and style.
Basic Identification
1. What type of source is it? (newspaper article, map, letter, film, etc.)
2. When was it created?
3. Where was it created?
4. Who created it?
Author’s Intent
1. What is the author’s place in society? (profession, status, class, gender, ethnicity, etc.)
2. How might the factors listed in the question above shape the author’s perspective in this source?
3. Why do you think the author created this source?
4. Does the author have an argument? If so, what is it?
5. Who is the intended audience for this source?
6. How might the intended audience shape the perspective of this source?
Historical Context
1. Under what specific historical circumstances was this source created?
2. What larger.
Primary sources are extremely important, not only in history, bu.docxarleanemlerpj
Primary sources are extremely important, not only in history, but in many other fields. It offers a window into the past, an inside view into a certain time period. It will require you to be more critical and analytical and give you a deeper understanding of what that document meant during that time period. There are times that a source can have a hidden meaning and you will have to read between the lines. Primary sources can come in different forms. They can be photographs, memoirs, paintings, letters, newspaper articles, films, government documents, etc.
I do not want just a summary or an overview of the primary source but also an analysis. For ex., if you read a slave narrative like the
Diary of a Slave Girl
by Harriet Jacobs, you can bring in information that not only supports Jacobs's narrative but also expounds on it. While you are reading and analyzing your source, you will be thinking about the time period and the historical significance of your primary source. Think about the author’s biases and assumptions. You can bring in secondary sources and other information to round out your work.

Primary Task Response:
Within the Discussion Board area, write 400–600 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas.
In 1944, finance specialists and bankers from around the world met to discuss what the post-WWII monetary system would be. Given the instability of the pre-war period, the goal was to create a new system. The outcome of this was the Bretton Woods system, which had the U.S. dollar as the world reserve currency linked to gold at $35 an ounce. All other currencies were tied to the dollar with limits on how much they could appreciate or depreciate. The system lasted until the 1970s, when the United States decided to move away from gold convertibility. The modern system is based on supply and demand for currency and a managed float. Discuss the following in your main post:
The U.S. dollar remains the world's reserve currency. Is this good for the United States, and if so, why?
People usually think a "strong" dollar is good. Is this true for U.S. businesses, and does it help or hurt the U.S. balance of payments?

There have been instances in the past where the act itself was performed with an altruist motive
and the donors were left uncompensated, whether dead or alive. Despite that, there are other
ethical incentives apart from a sense of magnanimity that a person feels from organ donation.
Board (2002) talks about various forms of such incentives that influence people’s behaviour. A
donor medal of honour can be thought of as similar to an award for employee of the month in
terms of the satisfaction that it provides to people. Apart from that he also talks about a medical
leave for organ donation in order t.

Definereligion and identify its key components.
What is religion? Religion is a social institution composed of a unified system of beliefs, symbols, and rituals—based on some sacred or supernatural realm—that guides human behavior, gives meaning to life, and unites believers into a community. Based on this definition, religion is a stable institution that exists independently from individuals who attend religious services or officials (such as priests, pastors, or other clergy) in the administrative hierarchy. Religion is sometimes thought of as a platform for the expression of spirituality—the relationship between the individual and something larger than oneself, such as a broader sense of connection with the surrounding world. As such, spirituality involves the individual’s inner, subjective feelings and experiences rather than the act of giving devotion to external beliefs, rituals, and deities that are set forth in established creeds or religious communities.
In the final analysis, both religion and spirituality require that persons engage in a leap of faith—a confident belief that cannot be proven or disproven but is accepted as true. Religious beliefs require faith because religion provides answers for seemingly unanswerable questions that underlie human existence. According to the sociologist Peter Berger (1967), these questions are Who am I? Why am I here? How should I live? What happens when I die? Berger suggests that religion provides a system of meaning that connects people to society and provides them with a sense of purpose that transcends the ordinary realm of life (Figure 17.1). Consequently, religious beliefs bind people together and establish rites of passage through various stages of life, such as birth, marriage, and death. People with similar religious beliefs and practices gather together in a moral community (such as a church, mosque, temple, or synagogue), where they engage in religious beliefs and practices with similarly minded people.

Given the diversity and complexity of contemporary religion, how is it possible for sociologists to study this social institution? Most sociologists studying religion are committed to the pursuit of “disinterested scholarship,” meaning that they do not seek to make value judgments about religious beliefs or to determine whether particular religious bodies are “right” or “wrong.” However, many acknowledge that it is impossible to completely rid themselves of those values and beliefs into which they were socialized.

One of the greatest breakthroughs in Monetary technology is that the innovation of Cryptocurrency. Whereas there has been plenty of buzz around cryptocurrency, there’s disproportionately less clarity on what it extremely is. Cryptocurrencies square measure the way of liberating the finance system from banks that sometimes unsuccessful, by creating it clear. They allow all transactions to be verified on a public ledger.
Cryptocurrency:
Cryptocurrency could be a digital or virtual currency that uses cryptography for security. A cryptocurrency is troublesome to counterfeit owing to this security feature. A process feature of a cryptocurrency and arguably its most lovely attract, is its organic nature; it’s not issued by any central authority, rendering it on paper resistant to government interference or manipulation. It is created and stored electronically which can only be saved in computers or websites. These transactions are facilitated through use of private and public keys for security purpose. All cryptocurrencies will have following common characteristics: Digital, Decentralized, Independence, Cryptographic, Identity and Transaction Verification.
Some of the Cryptocurrencies
: Bitcoin was the foremost invented cryptocurrency in 2009, Ethereum, Litecoin, Namecoin, PeerCoin, Ripple, Primecoin, Auroracoin etc.
Advantages:
The usage of crypto currency is fast, cheap and there are no charge backs. People cannot steal information from merchants and its as private as you wanted to be. Its usage is easy and fat payment without using the credit card or sign any document, we just need to know the address of person or organization to whom one has to transfer money, payment processing is very fast. It also ensures that transactions are secure. There are no processing charges to complete the transaction.
Disadvantages
:
Main disadvantage is it is not widely accepted like in physical stores instead of real money. It cannot be retrieved like traditional/physical money if we lose the digital currency information (information saved in laptops.

Instructions for Primary Source Analysis
Primary Source Analysis due: 6 March
(worth 15%)
primary-source-analysis-rubric
Primary sources are sources created in the historical period being researched and by historical actors themselves. (Contrast this with secondary sources, which are after-the-fact scholarly analyses of the past.) For this assignment, you will submit to me a 2-3 page analysis of that source along with instructions as to how I can access your source (or a copy of the source attached to your essay). PLEASE NOTE: You must incorporate a tertiary source and at least one secondary source to substantiate your analysis.
Keep in mind that primary sources can come in many forms. They can be maps, diaries, letters, memoirs, newspaper articles, government documents, posters, pamphlets, photographs, advertisements, paintings, films, novels, songs—just to name a few. If your source comes in a non-textual form (such as a film), please submit it to me in the form appropriate for its genre (such as a video or DVD, etc.).
The purpose of this assignment is to work on how to analyze a primary source. Your goal is to analyze your source excerpt as
deeply and as thoroughly
as possible. Do not simply provide a general summary or overview of your source. Think concretely and
critically
about its content, its historical context, the historical cultural values that shape it, and its relevance to your research. What are the author’s tone, style, and argument? What are its strengths and weaknesses? Read between the lines to discover its biases and assumptions. Depending on the nature of the primary source you select, the source may be as short as a paragraph or two or as long as dozens of pages.
In structuring your Primary Source Analysis Essay, you should address the following questions. Do not simply list answers to the questions below.
Rather, you must write your paper in essay form.
It should have an introduction, several body paragraphs, and a conclusion. You do not need to address the questions in order, but be sure that you address the questions
that are relevant to your source
in your essay. Your essay must be a polished piece of writing. I will grade it for both content and style.
Basic Identification
1. What type of source is it? (newspaper article, map, letter, film, etc.)
2. When was it created?
3. Where was it created?
4. Who created it?
Author’s Intent
1. What is the author’s place in society? (profession, status, class, gender, ethnicity, etc.)
2. How might the factors listed in the question above shape the author’s perspective in this source?
3. Why do you think the author created this source?
4. Does the author have an argument? If so, what is it?
5. Who is the intended audience for this source?
6. How might the intended audience shape the perspective of this source?
Historical Context
1. Under what specific historical circumstances was this source created?
2. What larger.
Primary sources are extremely important, not only in history, bu.docxarleanemlerpj
Primary sources are extremely important, not only in history, but in many other fields. It offers a window into the past, an inside view into a certain time period. It will require you to be more critical and analytical and give you a deeper understanding of what that document meant during that time period. There are times that a source can have a hidden meaning and you will have to read between the lines. Primary sources can come in different forms. They can be photographs, memoirs, paintings, letters, newspaper articles, films, government documents, etc.
I do not want just a summary or an overview of the primary source but also an analysis. For ex., if you read a slave narrative like the
Diary of a Slave Girl
by Harriet Jacobs, you can bring in information that not only supports Jacobs's narrative but also expounds on it. While you are reading and analyzing your source, you will be thinking about the time period and the historical significance of your primary source. Think about the author’s biases and assumptions. You can bring in secondary sources and other information to round out your work.

Primary Task Response:
Within the Discussion Board area, write 400–600 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas.
In 1944, finance specialists and bankers from around the world met to discuss what the post-WWII monetary system would be. Given the instability of the pre-war period, the goal was to create a new system. The outcome of this was the Bretton Woods system, which had the U.S. dollar as the world reserve currency linked to gold at $35 an ounce. All other currencies were tied to the dollar with limits on how much they could appreciate or depreciate. The system lasted until the 1970s, when the United States decided to move away from gold convertibility. The modern system is based on supply and demand for currency and a managed float. Discuss the following in your main post:
The U.S. dollar remains the world's reserve currency. Is this good for the United States, and if so, why?
People usually think a "strong" dollar is good. Is this true for U.S. businesses, and does it help or hurt the U.S. balance of payments?

Presentation Title The Behavior Impact of DUI Laws and Sanctions.docxarleanemlerpj
Presentation Title:
The Behavior Impact of DUI Laws and Sanctions
Research Focus:
Deterrence and Social Control Theories
Abstract:
Determining whether legal sanctions administered by the judicial court system or by local law enforcements are effectively designed to reduce, discourage and/or deter people from driving while impaired. There are various studies that provide conflicting arguments on whether driving laws have been a successful strategy in deterring drinking and driving behavior. Deterrence theories are based on the assumption that the perception and probability of certain severe punishment discourages people from illegal activities. Deterrence theory assumes that law breaking is inversely related to the severity of punishment. Further, it is the deterrence model ideology that law enforcement entities depend on to reduce DUI/DWI’s. The social control theory expands on the deterrence model to incorporate social influences. According to this theory drinking laws are only one of many factors that influence DUI behavior. Social stigma and perceived risk in committing the crime also play a part in discouraging this type of behavior. Although there has been little research conducted examining both deterrence and social control theories and the impact on DUI behavior proponents for these theories believe that innate makeup of these two ideologies are effective enough to modify a person’s

Webster dictionary gave a number of definitions of ‘Ritual’: “a
system of rites, a Ceremonial act or action, a customarily
repeated often formal act or series of acts”. In our everyday
dealings there are different forms of actions taken that are
repetitive but cannot be classified as symbolic eg, bathing,
sleeping, and eating. However, if we kneel, and say a particular
word of prayer and make the sign of the cross before doing any
one of the above routinely, then that can be considered a ritual
because it can be decoded as symbolic to the Catholic religion,
and to other observers as a way of devotion.
There are some symbolic rituals associated with health
practiced by various cultures. In the Catholic Church the
sprinkling of Holy water by the priest and burning of incense
during Eucharistic prayers is believed to ward off evil spirit,
and promote good health and everything progressive for the
congregation. The vestment of the priest, the setup of the altar
and the arrangement of the pews are symbols of a place of
worship. The prayers said at every mass are rituals and members
believe attending mass keeps them in good health, and good
standing in life. So it is with other religious practices. As stated
by Wintz, S., and Cooper, E. (2009), Islamic religious beliefs
are based on five principles: “shahadatain (declaration of faith),
Salat (prayer/worship), zakat (charitable contribution), sawn
(fasting), hajj (pilgrimage to mecca)”, are all the five principles
that require some degree of rituals to perform them. In health
matters, doctors are seen as helpers of God’s will, so they are
not restricted in the course of treatment, (p.21-22).
As a child I remember my maternal grandmother had a large
clay pot with water in it at a corner of her living room;
2. decorated with white/red colored cloths, and figurines like a
shrine, where every morning as traditional worshipper, she said
her prayers. We were never allowed to play close to the area.
But the water from the pot which she drank she gave us to drink
too when we visited. She believed it promoted good health and
good luck in life. I cannot say for sure if those deeds worked,
but she lived to be 103years before she died in 1978.
In the hospitals as described by Helman, C., (2007), the white
coat worn by the doctors and other health professionals are
symbolic, and the stethoscope used for checking blood pressure
and other vitals are the rituals, performed to diagnose illness or
certify clean bill of health. So many instruments, computers, hi-
technology machines, the arrangement of the doctor’s
consulting room, are all symbolic rituals associated to health
and illness (p.227). For a patient who is certified ill; all these
could symbolize healing, or may signify death, especially for
the elderly. The process of getting admitted as illustrated by
(Helman), is how a sick person goes through some rituals, such
as being stripped of their social statuses, by exchanging
personal clothing to hospital garments, name turned to case file
number, regular monitoring by nurses and medicines
administered routinely (p.236&237).
There are also cases where illness among children defies
biomedical treatment; Abubakar A., et al. (2013) in their work
described the “abikus”, ie, children who are tagged as coming
from the spirit world because they fall ill all the time despite all
manner of treatment. Finally, the child is taken to the traditional
healers to perform some ceremonies and marks are inscribed
with sharp instruments on the body of the child; so if the child
dies, he/she would not reincarnate. This practice is very
common among the Yoruba tribe of Nigeria, West Africa (p.1-
2). In some cases, the child survives and is always identified
through these inscriptions on them by those from the same tribe
as the “abikus”.
There are other instances in some cultures where conversion to
Christianity has changed the method they consult by combining
3. both the Christian and traditional practices to carry out healing.
In a study of Mapuche tradidtional medicine in Temuco, Chile
by Torri, M. C., (2013), described how the machi (traditional
healer) uses the picture of God and the Virgin Mary as symbols
to remove the devil (evil spirit). The machi prays in the name of
Jesus Christ over the herbs before consultations, diagnosis, and
dispensing of medicine (p.1235).
In Sub- Saharan Africa, and South American cultures; illness,
and death are classified as misfortunes. Therefore, the need to
find the cause always drives the people to consult traditionalists
for answers. In Nigeria, the Pentecostal church’s mode of
operation is similar to the study by Torri, (2013) explained
above. There is a combination of Christianity and traditional
practice to interpret misfortune as being caused by the devil in
place of the evil spirit. Symbolic items like white
handkerchiefs, olive oil, and water are used to caste away the
devil. Death is never seen as a natural phenomenon except it
occurs at old age.
I conclude that the practices of today are ways to retain
membership in the religious settings (Christianity, Islam,
Judaism, traditionalism, etc.), with the trend of cultural beliefs;
instead of totally abandoning them altogether. Instead the
symbolic items used during the primitive era, skulls of
human/animals, shrine, blood etc., were exchanged for things
like; altar, rosary, crucifix, candle, holy water, incense, misbaha
etc. These ideas are corroborated by Harvey, M., (2015) in his
work that described the Akan, Ghana urban and rural mixture of
traditional mode of worship/consultation with priest/faith
religious practices to fulfill the ideology of the people. It is
meant to ward off evil spirit when misfortune happens, and give
reasons why it happened (p.401-402).
Why is ritualism central in all forms of religious worship,
spiritual, and medical consultations?
