Hume believed that we couldn't really see what tied one event to the other, and that cause-and-effect does not hold up as an infallible rule, which means that by eliminating cause we can not guarantee that we are eliminating effect (Rich, 169). Perhaps Hume is more flexible on this point than Buddhism.
According to your understanding of Kuhn's writings, would an acceptance of an Eastern worldview in nursing constitute a paradigm shift by the profession? Explain.
A strict interpretation of Kuhn might lead one to believe that the incorporation of Eastern philosophy would indicate a revolution that would cause a paradigm shift in nursing. But because nursing already has elements of Eastern philosophy, it would be difficult to say a shift will occur, and perhaps more appropriate to say it already has occurred. The empathetic nature of nursing, and the role of nurse as educator, are not new. In fact, when one considers the...
Early nurses did not have the level of scientific training and preparation that we have today, and their roles were perhaps dominantly empathetic and spiritual. The incorporation of more science and responsibility into the nursing profession, as much as anything, caused a paradigm shift, to the point where nursing scholars today often identify the profession with science.

Nursing Process to Deliver Application of the Nursing Process to Deliver Culturally Competent Care: Malay culture Each society has devised its own methodology of dealing with diseases.

An analytical approach is required to
Hawaiian elder care professionals improve patient eldercare services to Japanese nationals, taking into consideration Japanese cultural norms and expectations Caregiving for elderly parents in Japan Japan has witnessed a significant growth in its elder population. In the year 1950, 4.9% of the Japanese population was aged 65 years and above. This figure increased to 14.8% (1995). By 2025, it is estimated to grow to 25.8% (Yamamoto & Wallhagen, 1997). Japan's 'very
Christianity and Buddhism to Health One of the most glaring aspects of this paper, Kramer Jr.'s "Worldview of Christianity and Buddha," is that it does not appear to have a hypothesis or a claim. The paper's theme, however, is clarified in the first paragraph as the author explicitly denotes that he will discuss aspects of Christianity and of Buddhism. But in doing so he never expressly writes a thesis statement,

Heian society was highly regulated and hierarchical, and from this it can be concluded that the government was highly regulated and hierarchical. It is clear from the text that the Heian Japan was
Similarly, the passage from the Pali Canon makes reference to mindfulness, which is concretely obtained through watching the breath and observing feelings, thoughts, and sensations come and go: "So he abides contemplating feelings as feelings...He abides contemplating arising phenomena in the feelings, vanishing phenomena, and both arising and vanishing phenomena in the feelings." Nyanaponika Thera's writing based on the Pali excerpt demonstrates how conscious awareness of present in the
This ideological position underscores the theory behind Yoga-Based Therapy. The text by Davis et al. (2008) points out that the stressors faced by anxiety disorder subjects are normal. It is the way that such subjects respond that is problematic. Therefore, employing Yoga-oriented strategies can help to arm patients with a normal response capability. As Davis et al. note, "tension is a normal part of your daily routine, and you need
