She uses primary documents such as diaries, journals, and notes, combined with secondary sources such as biographies, historical articles, and historian's viewpoints of times and individuals in history. She combines a deep understanding of history with the ability to see beyond words to engage the feelings and inner thoughts of individuals in their written words. Normally, this reliance on "feelings" and intuition does not play largely in history, but Freeman feels it is an important aspect of her research. She writes, "Although historians typically dismiss such evidence as personal, idiosyncratic, and trivial - useful for little more than spicing up biographies and historical narratives - feelings are vital passageways to an intuitive level of thought" (Freeman 289-290). Thus, this book is different, not because of the research, but because the author attempted to personalize the research, thus personalizing the individuals for the reader.

In conclusion, initially, the main thesis of this book, the code of honor that governed our early political leaders, did not seem to ring true to this reader. It seemed to be a rather minor detail in the many important undertakings in the fledgling years of a new country. And yet, the author portrayed her thesis clearly, created compelling arguments, and illustrated her points with extensive research and thought. This book increased my knowledge and understanding of the first years of the New Republic. Americans tend to think that once the war with Great Britain was over, everything here in the United States was immediately calm and coherent, and this book proves that was simply not the case. The fledgling nation still had many growing pains to overcome, and history was not all glorious and harmonious. Rather, the country faced many challenges in government and political action, and this book graphically points out the many challenges early leaders faced, and how they coped with them. I would recommend the book to scholars, students, and anyone who is interested in American History, especially the very beginnings of the American Republic. I do not believe this book is a rehash of accepted information, at least it was not for me. I think it might be too intense for general reading, but would certainly be a welcome addition to any American History class that delves deeply into the roots of the United States and her government.

amayana and the Dharma
Told and retold over two and a half millennia, the story of the amayana, or of ama's struggle for the dharma, is masterfully described in various books and is known to all Hindus, as well to many other individuals, the world over. Through an inspiring cast of characters such as ama, his wife Sita, the king, the monkey leader, ama's brother, and others, the search for, and importance of, the Dharma is manifestly depicted. All great narratives contain conflict, and the conflict, in this case, is the agony and sacrifice that attainment of the Dharma involves. The Dharma, as understood in Hinduism necessitates a persistent attempt for truthfulness and obedience that is founded on order and that guarantees stability and endurance of creation (Knott, 16). Each has his or her own dharma regulated according to the specific class, or status, that he or she occupies. In…...

Falstaff and Hotspur in Henry IV, Part

illiam Shakespeare's 1597 history play Henry IV, Part 1 puts across an account involving Henry Bolingbroke (King Henry the fourth) and his struggle to maintain his throne as a series of rebellions emerge throughout the land. Even with the fact that the rebellion initially appears to experience progress conditions change as the king's son, Hal, and his eccentric friend, Sir John Falstaff get actively involved in assisting Henry. Falstaff's character is especially intriguing when considering that he prefers to use logics rather than morality with the purpose of being successful. Harry Percy (Hotspur) contrasts Falstaff and eventually comes to be defeated as a result of employing an honorable attitude in combat.

The play revolves around the character of…...

"Honoring the Stories of Illness"

The "narrative medicine" approach has been garnering increasing popularity of late, in healthcare facilities and medical research centers. Columbia University's literary scholar and doctor, ita Charon, came up with the concept in the course of the last ten years, along with her coworkers. The scholar has designed "Parallel Charts" and similar tools that caregivers can utilize for writing personally about patient-physician dynamics, reading textual narratives, and consequently paying better attention to what their patients have to say and thereby improving care delivery (Ensign, 2014).

Analysis and Interpretation

Charon's definition of narrative medicine is as follows: Narrative medicine is an approach practiced using the skills of acknowledging, learning, understanding, and being touched by the tales of the ill. She believes this to be a novel clinical frame which is capable of improving the numerous deficits and failings in the current healthcare delivery processes. Healthcare…...

Honor Code of Chinese Warriors
The objective of this study is to discuss the honor code of warrior-heroes in Chinese history and to answer to what the honor code consists of and the origin of the honor code. As well, this study will examine how this honor code influenced the intentions, words, and actions of the warriors and how the honor code manifests itself in novels, how and when the codes apply and what competing visions existed in human conduct.

Wuxia is a term in Mandarin that means literally "martial arts chivalry" and is representative of a unique Chinese type of story that is dated back as far as the Tang Dynasty (681-907).

Honor Codes
In academic institutions throughout the world, there are systems of codes which dictate how administration expects the student bodies to behave. These codes can be different based upon the specific rules of the institution in question. Some have clothing rules, others alcohol or narcotic rules, but there are certain dictums which are more universal. Many schools have rules which dictate that students must behave in ways which the institution considers to be honorable. These honor codes can include different components, but it is primarily a pledge against cheating in any sense of the word. Students in many institutions must sign honor pledges wherein they promise that they will not cheat on their assignments or their examinations. Also, if they are witness to any dishonesty on the part of their classmates, then they are responsible for revealing that duplicity to members of the staff or administration. The students pledge to…...

iv.82-4). It is also unfortunate that Falstaff is like a father to Hal. He even pokes fun at those that enjoy fighting. An example of this is when he says, "I am not yet of Percy's mind, the Hotspur of the north, he that kills me some six or seven dozen of Scots at a breakfast, washes his hands, and says to his wife, 'Fie upon this quiet life! I want work'" (II.v.94-97). Here he is deliberately pointing out that he is not of the same kind as Hotspur and proud of it. Falstaff is not the kind of person that should be influencing a young man on the threshold of becoming king. Hal, however, is enchanted by him and appears to be missing the mark when it comes to his future.
Shakespeare delivers, however, by turning the tables on Hotspur and Hal. Hal eventually reveals a bit of his intelligence…...

In these terms alone, the case played to the prejudices of both sides and obscured the truth about what had happened, though as Stannard shows, there was likely no rape at all and Thalia was covering a meeting with a white man. This event is reminiscent of the charge by Susan Smith that a black man had stolen her car and killed her children, when in fact she had done it herself. Numerous cases can be cited where whites in different parts of the country blame4d blacks for certain crimes that never happened because they thought that stereotype would be believed. In a different way, the same idea empowered Lincoln Steffens to claim that Hawaii was now beset by a crime wave, which was not true:

A strongly disciplined person is one who demonstrates that he can control himself. Discipline is always goal-oriented, therefore we understand that having the capacity to be extremely disciplined denotes the existence of a strong will oriented towards a specific purpose. The Montessori Method aims to teach the child how to move (dynamism) and the scene for which he is prepared is not school, but life itself. The discipline that he is stimulated to learn is therefore one which applies to the overall social environment.
In order to make sure that the child will grow up disciplined and with respect for the others and the social environment, he must be taught the difference between good and evil. In addition, Montessori stresses that the teacher must make sure "the child does not confound good with immobility and evil with activity, as often happens in the case of the old-time discipline. And all…...

The Cal Tech Honor System is consistent with the philosophy by which I live my life: "Always try to do the right thing." Sometimes, that is easier than others. Recently, I had to choose between doing what I knew was morally right and compassionate and doing what was expected by a crowd of acquaintances.

I was on my way to the laundromat where I have been washing my clothes for years. I noticed that a small crowd of people outside, shouting at someone to go away and I recognized several of the people in the crowd as regular customers of the laundromat and two of them acknowledged me as I approached. The person they were shouting at was an emaciated girl dressed in filthy rag-like clothes. As I was trying to decide what to do, she must have realized that I was a potential ally, because she asked…...

honor killings" has been the subject of outrage from a variety of associations and individuals promoting human rights. Honor killings occur mostly in Eastern and Islam communities, for the purpose of preserving family honor and unity. As the statement claims, its purpose is to "strengthen" families. Furthermore the defense of the phenomenon rests upon the view that it is simply a part of tradition and culture, and should therefore not be condemned as wrong. The promoters of honor killings in fact use the ideal of tolerance in order to further this oppressive practice. When the claim of culture and tradition are however more deeply investigated, it becomes clear that the idea of honor killings is not based on any ancient or religious ideal. Instead, the practice stems from the psychological paradigm of oppression, under which certain sectors of society suffer unfairly. I therefore believe that honor killings are in…...

One other aspect of this Southern honor or code of behavior system was service in the military, in this case, service in the Confederate army following the start of the Civil War with the attack on Fort Sumter in South Carolina. For almost all Southern white men under the age of thirty, military service was mandatory and when a young man achieved a high rank in the army, this also affected his immediate family members by providing them with additional honor, such as achieving the rank of captain with perhaps hundreds of soldiers under his command. Although education also played a major role in obtaining "honor," many young men opted for military schooling, such as with the ROTC (Reserve Officer Training Corps), especially at…...

Gun laws around the world

Gun laws are a particularly divisive issue around the world, as they are often associated with more or less alarming crime levels. hile people are generally inclined to support the expression "guns don't kill people; people kill people," it is only safe to assume that crimes are largely dependent on gun laws. Some countries are known to express zero tolerance regarding gun ownership while others promote the belief that it is perfectly normal for guns to be accessible to the masses. Particular groups believe that harsh gun laws are imposed by bigoted politicians who are unable to understand matters from an objective point-of-view and certain communities consider that gun ownership needs to be controlled using severe means. All things considered, gun laws worldwide differ on account of Constitutions and depending on how…...

When I think about what I have learned in my professional skills course, I think of those things that my parents would have called “soft skills.”  To me, they are the factors that make the difference between someone looking good on a resume and someone doing well in an interview and on the job.  They include several factors that relate to how well a person can work in a team, as well as factors that demonstrate someone’s ability to manage time.

Chivalry refers to a code of conduct that was developed in the latter part of the Middle Ages in various parts of western Europe, most notably in what are parts of modern day France and Britain.  Though it may be referred to a system or the chivalric code, it is not actually a codified system of norms or behaviors, but instead an informal code of moral behavior.  Its origins can be traced back to around 1170, though it draws upon moral codes from earlier times, especially the Carolingian Empire, which featured a similar idolization of the soldier/warrior.

While the idea of border security is always innately political, it is even more so right now. Combined with immigration policy, border security helps shape what our country looks like.

Person centered care focuses on the patient as an entire human being, not just as a person experiencing an illness, injury, or other health emergency. The approach is gaining traction in healthcare and mental healthcare. There are five essential elements in person-centered care.
