Also, identify the kind of text the author has written (e.g., treatise, letter, novel, poem, etc.).

In many religious traditions of the world, splinter groups or “spinoff” sects have ended up declaring themselves as completely new religious traditions, with only selected strands of intersection that tie them to their original community. Do you see this trend happening with sectarian groups in Islam, like the Shi’a and Sufi communities? Or do you envision relationships between the majority Sunni community and these groups being strengthened over time? 2. We have explored the ways that Western systems of analysis, like feminism and orientalism, have influenced thinkers in the Muslim world who write about the status of women and members of the LGBTQ community. Based on what we know about the history and theology of Islam, the status of minority sects, and women’s voices in Islam, what can Western secular society learn from Islamic feminism? .

PHIL 212: Introductory Ethics Module 3/Meta-ethical Questions The Long Search for the Origins of Ethics (Part Two) 1 (Before reading the following lecture, watch and listen to the RealPlayer presentation for Module Three entitled “After Human Nature?”) New Views on Where Morality Comes From In the slide presentation for this module, we emphasized both the significance of the new theory for understanding ethics that came with Immanuel Kant in the 18th century as well as some of the ways in which those who came after Kant questioned many of the traditional assumptions of ethics. In these lectures and the readings, I hope you’ll come to a better understanding of all these views. As with the previous modules, get into the habit of (1) reading the “Background” section, then (2) the actual primary source reading in our textbook, then (3) back to these notes for a recap of the main points in “The Argument” back here for each of the thinkers discussed. I. Kant: duty above all A. BACKGROUND Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) is one of the most influential philosophers of modern times, and created a kind of revolution in moral thinking as well. As one of the foremost Enlightenment philosophers, Kant was primarily concerned with the concepts of reason and freedom, which as we have already seen are both significant to philosophical ethics. Kant’s so-called “critical project” was the writing of three long books, the Critique of Pure Reason (1781/87), the Critique of Pure Practical Reason (1788), and the Critique of the Power of Judgment (1790). In these works, Kant tried to provide new and solid philosophical foundations for science and knowledge, morality, and art and beauty, respectively. The attempt was not entirely successful, but it did have an enormous impact on thought and culture after Kant’s time. Kant’s religious and moral background and the influence of Stoic philosophy convinced him of two things regarding morality: 1. we humans often mistakenly believe that we are being moral when we do things that we do for reasons of sympathy, emotion, self-interest, or purposes of “saving face,” but we’re not, and 2. the most important characteristics of moral thinking and action are good will, or good intentions, and duty, that is, the recognition of our moral obligations. When you consider (2) in light of (1), you may be able to see that Kant could be (and was!) highly critical of other views in ethics, especially those such as Hobbes’s (based on enlightened egoism) and Hume’s (based on sympathy). As a thoroughgoing advocate of the power of reason, Kant thought that he could show that moral duty provided a necessary motivation to our thinking and acting, and effectively claimed that to be F.

This week we begin our most significant writing, emphasizing themes . We have been practicing so we can get to this point, doing more of what historians actually do. As you know, historians do not memorize facts. They see trends throughout time, and use these trends to understand both the past and the present. A historical theme is a trend, presented as an interpretive thesis, but supported by evidence from several different eras instead of just one or two. A number of weeks throughout the semester, we have posted evidence from one particular time-frame or era on a Primary Sources Board, but our writing this week must include evidence from multiple eras. Yes - the work you do here may be considered as the outline for your final essay, so long as you are happy with your subject! Themes are narrow enough to have a point of view, even though they are broad enough to cover several eras. They show a repeating trend, rather than progress over time. One way to begin a theme is to focus on a topic area, such as fashion, sexuality, class differences, cloth-making technology, the role of philosophy, ways in which literature reflects society, sports, games, furniture design, domestic architecture, dancing, political conflict, holiday celebrations, religious texts, expressions of spirituality, mass communication - the possibilities are endless. Format For this assignment we start with a theme (in bold text), and use six sources in pairs with a topic sentence (in italics ) that covers them both. The format will be like an essay, with no numbers or letters: I. Historical theme II. Topic sentence that supports the theme A. Primary source #1 with explanation B. Primary source #2 with explanation III. Topic sentence that supports the theme A. Primary source #3 with explanation B. Primary source #4 with explanation IV. Topic sentence that supports the theme A. Primary source #1 with explanation B. Primary source #2 with explanation V. Brief conclusion Avoid problems with themes Here's a list of common problems to avoid for themes: • The progressive theme problem. The theme features advancement or improvement over time, when it needs to focus on a repeating trend. • The "throughout history" problem. The theme should not use phrases like "throughout history" or "across the ages". • The "and" problem. The theme should not try to cover more bases by using "and", unless everything in it is proven in every paragraph. • The "or" problem. The theme should not contain "or", which encourages paragraphs that focus on only part of the theme. • The so broad it's obvious problem. This is similar to the big, factual thesis problem. Writing assignment instructions (70 points): Create an outline with a theme and three topic sentences, each supported by two fully-cited primary sources from various Primary Sources Boards, with a brief explanation of how each source supports the topic.

Progressive Case Study-Client Report Over the past 8 weeks, you have strategically built a learning plan for MacArthur and Associates. Your final step is to put together each section in a professional proposal format and include a recommendation section and a summary for the leadership team to review. Be sure that your proposal is free of errors and includes a list of references to back up your suggestions. Your final part of the paper (summary and recommendations) should be a minimum of 2 pages. This will be added to the end of the proposal with each of the sections included from your previous weeks. Your final project combined should be a minimum of 16 pages (not including the title and reference page). You will also combine all of your presentation materials to create a final overview presentation for presenting to MacArthur and Associates. Remember, you want them to be impressed with not only your knowledge, but your professionalism. Be sure to add slides for your recommendation and summary. Double check your work for error and submit to your instructor upon completion. Your paper should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards. Please include citations to support your ideas. Week 3, Reading Section 3.1: Introduction I. Introduction In Week 3, there will be three foci. First, you will revisit the theoretical discussions of Week 2, regarding the various forms of Egoism. As indicated, above, Egoism is not a single theory, but a collection of related ones, with different sources and roots from Ancient to Modern Times. Second, you will examine the sources and conduits of your own moral belief systems, against the backdrop of religion and secular society. In doing so, you should try to identify how your beliefs are similar to the beliefs of other cultures, not your own. Third, you will be required to discuss the first, substantive issue area, to formulate an Argument regarding that issue area, Global Warming and the Environment, applying the ethical/moral theories you have studied so far, and to defend your position. Please remember that this is a Secular Morality and Ethics course, rather than a Comparative Religions or Theology course. As a result, using religious sources, per se, and claiming adherence to any particular religion will not be sufficient to support whatever philosophic arguments you make during the upcoming weeks. Here is one very important reason: invoking your own religious beliefs and their tenets will not demonstrate that you understand and can use the secular moral/ethical theories that you will be studying, thus undermining the purposes of the course. Resource: Egoism, Morality, and Religion [PDF] Resource: Ethical Egoism Resource: Peter Singer's The How and Why of Altruism [VIDEO] Week 3, Reading Section 3.2: Sources of Ethical/Moral Systems II.

Theory applied to informatics – Novice to Expert cjni.net/journal Editorial – Fall 2010 by June Kaminski, RN MSN PhD(c), Editor in Chief I am often amazed by the consistent confusion and silence that arises when I ask nurses what nursing informatics related theories they use or are aware of. I can sense their minds searching for mysterious elusive theories that they conclude that they must have missed. Only a few realize that many theories that they are already familiar with have great applicability to nursing informatics. One such theory is the time honoured Novice to Expert theory. The Novice to Expert Theory, a construct theory first proposed by Hubert and Stuart Dreyfus (1980) as the Dreyfus Model of Skill Acquisition, and later applied and modified to nursing by Patricia Benner (1984) provides a very useful and important theory that clearly applies to nursing informatics. The Dreyfus brothers developed the model while working with scholars interested in comparing artificial intelligence development and expert computer system programming to the human mind and the development of expertise. Within the field of nursing informatics, this theory can be applied to: the development of nursing informatics skills, competencies, knowledge and expertise in nursing informatics specialists; the development of technological system competencies in practicing nurses working in an institution; the education of nursing students, from first year to graduation and; the transition from graduate nurse to expert nurse. The currently accepted five levels of development within the Novice to Expert theoretical model are illustrated in the image above, as presented by Benner (1984). They start from the 1/4 http://cjni.net/journal/?p=967 bottom rung at the Novice level and move upward through Advanced Beginner, Competent, Proficient, and Expert levels. Dreyfus and Dreyfus (1980) initially proposed the stages of: Novice, Competent, Proficient, Expertise and Mastery. In both configurations, each level builds on the level before it as the learner advances from a neophyte level then gains knowledge, skills, perceptions, intuition, wisdom and most important of all, experience in their given field of practice. Distinguishing Traits Both Dreyfus and Dreyfus and Benner estimated that it takes approximately five years to move through the five stages from novice to expert but also elaborated that not all novices become experts. Some people get ‘stuck’ at the competent or proficient stages. Two personal characteristics that distinguish the successful evolution to the expert level seem to be a) deliberate practice and b) the willingness to take risks, to go beyond the ‘norm’. Deliberate practice is a trait shown by people who use a personal, goal-oriented approach to skill and knowledge development – they devote themselves to engage in progressively higher, and ultimately expert performance. This requires years of sustained effort to continually improve the quali.

THEORY & REVIEW THEORIZING THE DIGITAL OBJECT1 Philip Faulkner Clare College, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, CB2 1TL, UNITED KINGDOM {[email protected]} Jochen Runde Cambridge Judge Business School and Girton College, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, CB2 1AG, UNITED KINGDOM {[email protected]} Prompted by perceived shortcomings of prevailing conceptualizations of digital technology in IS, we propose a theory aimed at capturing both the ontological complexity of digital objects qua objects, and how their identity and use is bound up with various social associations. We begin with what it is to be an object, the differences between material and nonmaterial objects, and various categories of nonmaterial objects including syntactic objects and bitstrings. Building on these categories we develop a conception of digital objects and a novel “bearer” theory of how material and nonmaterial objects combine. The role of computation is considered, and how the identity and system functions of digital objects flow from their social positioning in the communities in which they arise. Various implications of the theory are identified, focusing on its use as a conceptual frame through which to view digital phenomena, and its potential to inform existing perspectives with regard both to how digital technology per se and the relationship between people and digital technology should be theorized. These implications are illustrated with reference to secondary markets for software, the treatment of digital resources in the resource-based, knowledge-based, and service-dominant logic views of organizing, and recent work on sociomateriality. Keywords: Nonmaterial objects, digital objects, bitstrings, digital technology, social positions, resources, resource-based view, service-dominant logic, sociomateriality, imbrication Introduction 1 One of the striking features of the digital revolution has been the proliferation of what we will call digital objects, many of which have transformed and become indispensable parts of organizational life. Digital objects feature prominently in IS research and include computer systems and peripherals (Hib- beln et al. 2017; Xu et al. 2017), smart devices (Prasopoulou 2017; Yoo 2010), mobile apps (Boudreau 2012; Claussen et al. 2013; Hoehle and Venkatesh 2015), emails (Barley et al. 2011; Wang et al. 2016), blogs (Aggarwal et al. 2012; Chau and Xu 2012; Luo et al. 2017), electronic health records (Kohli and Tan 2016), online videos (Kallinikos and Mariá- tegui, 2011; Susarla et al. 2012), 3D printers (Kyriakou et al. 2017), and enterprise systems (Strong and Volkoff 2010; Sykes 2015). Illuminating as these and similar studies invariably are, however, their principal focus is on the human and organizational implications of the technology in question rather than on the devices themselves. The result is that research of this kind tends to invoke “pretheoretical understandings” (Ekbia 2009, p. 2555) o.

This study found 4 major categories that construct digital citizenship: Ethics, Media and Information Literacy, Participation/Engagement, and Critical Resistance. Based on these comprehensive and interconnected categories of digital citizenship, the author argues that digital citizenship needs to be understood as a multidimensional and complex concept in connection with an interrelated but non-linear relationship with offline (place-based) civic lives. Keywords: concept analysis, critical resistance, digital citizenship, digital ethics, media and information literacy, participation/engagement I imagine one could say: “Why don’t you leave me alone?! I want no part of your Internet, of your technological civilization, of your network society! I just want to live my life!” Well, if this is your position, I have bad news for you. If you do not care about the networks, the networks will care about you, anyway. For as long as you want to live in society, at this time and in this place, you will have to deal with the network society. Because we live in the Internet Galaxy.

For instance, Internet trolls sometimes infiltrate online communities and then use their posts to disrupt and ultimately destroy not only the community, but also specific members (e.g., some subreddit communities). Digital warriors use the Internet to influence and potentially recruit vulnerable users into extreme causes (e.g., the recruitment of adolescents by the Islamic State). Web-based activities have affected the ways humans think, the ways they communicate with others, and the way they generally participate in society (DiMaggio, Hargittai, Neuman, & Robinson, 2001; Dutton, 2005; Glassman, 2012a; Palfrey & Gasser, 2013). Put another way, emerging digital media and web-based networking environments allow people to adopt new perspectives toward the self, t.

Theories help frame more than presenting problems—they also frame social problems, and both types of problems can be linked in relation to client issues. For example, many scholars and social workers have attempted to understand the social problem of poverty. Turner and Lehning (2007) classified various psychological theories to explain poverty under two headings: (1) individual-related theories or (2) structural/cultural-related theories. In other words, think of these two headings as lenses in viewing poverty. In this Discussion, you apply lenses through which to understand a client's problem in relation to social problems. To prepare: Read this article listed in the Learning Resources: Turner, K., & Lehning, A. J. (2007). Psychological theories of poverty. Journal of Human Behavior in the Social Environment, 16 (1/2), 57–72. doi:10.1300/J137v16n01-05 Select a theory under the individual-related theories and a theory under the structural/cultural-related theories. Complete the handout “Comparing Individual-Related and Structural/Cultural-Related Theories” to help you craft your response. ( Note: You do not need to upload the handout to the Discussion forum. The handout is intended to assist you in writing your Discussion post.) By Day 3 Post: Describe how a social worker would conceptualize a presenting problem of poverty from the two theories you selected. Explain how this conceptualization differs from an individual-related versus a structural/cultural-related theoretical lens. Compare how the two theoretical lenses differ in terms of how the social worker would approach the client and the problem and how the social worker would intervene. .

Theories of Leadership Many schools of thought have developed throughout history that propose various theories about the source and development of leaders, how leaders are discovered, and how they can be identified. Early leadership theories focused on the qualities that distinguished leaders from followers; subsequent theories looked at other variables such as situational factors and skill levels. Evaluate the similarities and differences between two approaches or theories of leadership: the trait approach and behavioral theory; the Situational Leadership® Model and authentic leadership theory; or the transformational and transactional leadership theories. Begin by providing a brief summary of the two approaches or theories of leadership you have chosen to analyze. Then, examine the common characteristics and differences between the two approaches or theories you selected. Use a minimum of two scholarly sources to support your post. Cite your sources according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center. .

THEORIES OF INTELLECTUAL DEVELOPMENT Piaget’s Theory We begin with the theory of the famous Swiss psychologist, Jean Piaget (Gruber & Voneche, 1995). Piaget disagreed with the behaviorist notion that children come into this world as “blank slates” who simply receive and store information about the world from other people (Driver, Asoko, Leach, Mortimer & Scott, 1994). Instead, Piaget argued that, at all ages, humans actively interact with their world, and through those interactions try to interpret and understand it in terms of what they already know. He also thought that humans change the ways in which they interact with and interpret the world as they grow older and more experienced. What is important for teachers to understand is (1) how children are likely to interact with and interpret the world at particular ages and (2) what factors lead children to move from less sophisticated to more sophisticated forms of interaction and interpretation. In describing how children interact with and interpret the world, Piaget proposed four stages of intellectual development. He believed that these stages were universal, that is, that children everywhere, regardless of culture or experience passed through the same stages. He also believed that children progressed through the stages in an invariant order, that is, all children move from simpler, less adequate ways of thinking to increasingly more complex, sophisticated ways of thinking. Piaget did allow that some children might develop faster than others and that some might never achieve the highest stage(s) of thinking. Piaget’s claims about stages of intellectual development have faced many criticisms, as you have no doubt read in your human development text. For example, it has been suggested that development is much more gradual and piecemeal than implied by the notion of a stage (Santrock, 2008, 2009). Nevertheless, these stages still provide a useful framework for teachers. In particular, Piaget’s stages provide clues about how students will interpret and approach many of the problems that you pose, as well as clues about the types of problems and experiences that are most likely to engage students and be beneficial for them (Elliott, Kratochwill, Littlefield & Travers, 2000; Feinburg & Mindess, 1994; Santrock, 2008). The four stages that Piaget proposed are described briefly below. Please note that the age ranges listed are only approximations. Sensorimotor period. This stage characterizes the thinking of children up until the age of 2 years. During this stage, infants and toddlers learn about the world by acting on it directly through motoric and sensory activities, such as sucking, grasping, and looking. In this way, they gradually learn about the physical properties of objects and develop rudimentary understanding of space, time, and causality. Preoperational period. This stage characterizes the thinking of children between the ages of 2 and 6 years. Preoperational chil.

Theoretical Medicine & Bioethics, 35, 31-42. To Treat a Psychopath Heidi L. Maibom Recent successes in manipulating the activity of the brain more or less directly—e.g. through transcranial magnetic stimulation or the administration of drugs that inhibit the production or reuptake of certain neurotransmitters—promise that one day soon it may be possible to treat a range of hitherto treatment resistant disorders [1-4]. Conventional treatment is typically unsuccessful with psychopaths [5-6]. Some people, however, are now quite optimistic about the possibility of treating psychopathy with drugs that directly modulate brain function [2]. Does the recent evidence support the idea that we will soon be able to treat psychopathy? I shall argue that it does not. Psychopathy is a global disorder in an individual’s worldview, including his social and moral outlook. Because of the unity of this Weltanschauung, it is unlikely to be treatable in a piecemeal fashion. But recent neuroscientific methods do not give us much hope that we can replace, in a wholesale manner, problematic views of the world with more socially desirable ones. There are, therefore, principled reasons that psychopathy is so singularly treatment resistant. 1. The Trouble with Psychopaths By contrast to depression, which can often be treated by the administration of mood-enhancing drugs (SSRIs or SNRIs)[footnoteRef:1] and/or psychotherapy, psychopathy is a disorder involving a wide variety of symptoms that, on the face of it, have little in common except for their moral and social undesirability. Depressive symptoms typically form a unified picture of a certain type of affective disorder. Psychopathy has been called a moral or an antisocial disorder [7, 8]. Where it seems relatively obvious, at least in theory, that to treat depression one must help elevate the subject’s mood and alleviate her despair, how to treat amoral or antisocial tendencies is less clear. And since we have experience of ingesting substances that are mood-elevators, at least in the short term, such as champagne or chocolate, it is not too far-fetched to suppose that other substances may produce a longer-term effect on a person’s mood. But what of amorality or antisociality? [1: Serotonin reuptake inhibitors and serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors.] On closer inspection, depression and psychopathy have more in common than it might seem at first. The two disorders represent more global divergences of cognitive and emotional functioning compared to the statistical norm. Depressed individuals tend to have a rather dark view of themselves and existence in general, associated with social withdrawal and lack of interest in activities, even those that were previously of great importance to them. Georg Northoff has suggested that depressed individuals may experience difficulties projecting themselves into the future or, if you like, imagining a future different from their current reality.[footnoteRef:2.

THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK FOR A FAMILY AND PALLIATIVE NURSING PRACTITIONER Presented by: Iriabel Nepravishta * INTRODUCTION Peplau’s Theory Interpersonal Relationship Challenge Facing Palliative Care Practitioners Impact of Society Perception of Palliative Care on Health Care Outcomes Ways in which Peplau’s Theory can be used to address the Scope of Practice Restriction Challenge Perspective Offered through the Application of Peplau’s Theory Conclusion References A Palliative Nurse Practitioner (PNPR) is an advanced practice registered nurse. PNPR is trained to assess patient needs, diagnose disease, interpret diagnostic results and provide palliative medicine to treat illness with complex pain and symptoms. Additionally, PNPR will anticipate and meet the needs of the patient and family facing terminal illness and bereavement (Forchuk, 2015). * PEPLAU’S THEORY INTERPERSONAL RELATIONSHIP Three phases: orientation, working and termination phases Establish therapeutic relationship to provide better patient care. A guide for resolution of the issues and concerns Peplau’s Theory Views a Palliative Nursing Practitioner as a professional that establishes therapeutic relationship with patients. Peplau’s theory consist in 3 phases which are orientation, working and termination stages. During the orientation phase, the patient, family and nurse work together to recognize, clarify, and define existing problem. The working phase includes deliver and application of interventions, and services of care to treat, explore and change a situation. Finally, the termination phase includes resolution and successful completion of all the other two stages on finalization of care (Townsend, 2015). This theory is significant in palliative care because it will allow me to determine the needs of my patients and their families through the use of the orientation, working concepts. In doing so, I can serve as a resource person, a counselor and surrogate. In addition, I can provide individualized care that will meet the needs of my patients and their families. But most importantly, this theory is significant to palliative care because it will help me to transition patients and their families through end of life care by applying the concepts of the termination phase (Townsend, 2015 p. 40) , (Forchuk, 2015). * CHALLENGE FACING PALLIATIVE CARE PRACTITIONERS Perception of Palliative Care. Different approaches of care among health care providers Family conflicts. Cultural differences Today’s society struggles with the subject of death. We live in a decade where modern technology and treatments are prolonging life and the concept of natural death is seeming a vague illusion and almost an impossible concept to accept and face. We are dragged into the philosophy that there is nothing worse than letting our loves ones go and we hold them tight without acknowledging and respecting their wishes.

Theoretical Perspectives Since Children's Literature is written for the child audience, authors and illustrators need to understand how children develop emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually. Authors and illustrators must cater to children through their use of ideas, language, images, and style. They must also understand how children learn in order to know how to integrate ideas with language, images and style for the child mind. In this section of our course, you will learn about three child development theories, including Piaget's theory on how children develop cognitively, Kohlberg's theory on how children learn moral reasoning, and Erikson's stages on how a child develops psychologically. You will also learn about two educational theories in children's literature, including Vygotsky's Social Development Theory and Rosenblatt's Reader's Response/Transaction Theory. Having an understanding of how children develop and learn will help you critique the many types of children's literature you will analyze in this course. Piaget's Theory of Cognitive Development View the short film clip titled "Piaget's Stages of Cognitive Development" published by Khan Academy to gain perspective on Piaget's theoretical stages. Keep in mind that Piaget believed that knowledge is constructed--children's learning builds on what is already known. Use the following outline as a guide. What examples can you use to illustrate each stage? Stage 1: 0-2 Years of age--Sensorimotor Stage Children gather information about the world through their senses and their movement. Stage 2: 2-6 years of age--Pre-Operational Stage Children develop language skills and begin to use symbols to represent language. Stage 3: 7-11 Years of age--Concrete Operational Stage Children learn to use mental operations such as math reasoning. Stage 4: 12-Up Years of age--Formal Operational Stage Children learn abstract and moral reasoning. Kohlberg's Theory of Moral Development (An expansion on Piaget’s Theory) View the short video titled “Kohlberg's Theory of Moral Development Explained!” published by Learn My Test. Examine each level and stage carefully, and then consider the 3 main criticisms of Kohlberg's theory: Level 1: Pre-conventional Morality--at this level, children tend to obey rules to avoid punishment. They also make choices based on self-need. Level 2: Conventional Morality--at this level, children tend to conform to societal expectations. They typically respect and abide by rules. Level 3: Post-conventional Morality--at this level, children recognize that members of society should agree to standards that set rules; they view justice as more important than laws. Consider: Why is Kohlberg's theory on moral development important for authors to be aware of as they write literature for children? What are the 3 main criticisms of Kohlberg's theory? Are these criticisms justifiable? Why or why not? Erikson's Stages of Development View the short video clip about Eri.
