In the article “Biracial, and also black” by Martha S. Jones, is a magnificent representation of the one-drop rule by F.James Davis. One can make the connection that fairly or unfairly the one-drop rule is enforced on any person if at least one of their parents has an African background. Professor Martha Jones demonstrates how she has a white German mother, and a black father, but her mother is disregarded when people identifies her race. So she is compelled to identify as black. Professor Jones also utters how, although she is perfectly fine with identifying as black, she challenges the concept.…

Both contingency and situational theories are based on situational variables determine the leadership styles. Both say that no specific leadership style is best for all environments or certain decision making types. The success of the organization depends on the leadership style that fit the situation and abilities and traits of the group in the situation (Yuki, 2010).…
I suddenly realized that no one could ever find out. Rushing to my car I flung the door open and got inside. Racing home I felt the nerves stream through my body. Inside the house I gradually walked to my bedroom and stepped inside. Creeping over to the loose floorboard I felt the sweat drip from my palm. Kneeling down I moved the old board aside and picked up the substantial object. The leather brown sides felt rough as I gently ran my fingers over it. Gathering my thoughts I brought myself to open the ominous object. The bold black letters appeared to be more frightening than I thought. Jaxson Eugene Brown emerged from the thick yellow page and sent a shiver down my back. As I continued to read the frightening book the last sentence almost stopped me in my tracks. May 1st, 2016 Jaxson Eugene Brown will be pronounced dead.…
“Discipline and Punishment: Emerging Theories” is a summary of contemporary views on punishment in public education.

Teachable moments are defined as taking the moment to communicate to the child or adolescent that the behavior they exhibited was inappropriate.

Learning within a military environment learning it takes two very distinctive routes. Due to the fact the military is an autocratic society and to the nature of its training and learning it could be perceived that Soldiers are treated Neo–behaviourists and certainly a lot of military training would fit the Gagné (1975) eight types of learning. This is true for some of the basic fundamental and core military subjects. However I must also understand that outside of these core fundamental’s we need to be more reflective of the learning Domains. When I look at the delivery of training to soldiers I can see that it falls mainly with in the psychomotor domain and behaviourism, and only as the rise up the ladder of responsibility does the method and delivery model change to incorporate cognitive and affective domains, and a more andragogical model of delivery.…
Nursing theories are organized, patterned or systemic approaches to provide guidelines for professional nursing practice. Theories “consists of sets of interconnected propositions designed to describe, explain and practice an event or phenomenon” (Lortenz p. 39). Chinn & Krammer (1991) discuss a theory as a systemic abstraction of reality intended to serve some purpose. The continuum of theories range greatly from grand theories at one end, theories that focus on practice at the other end and mid-range (or middle range) somewhere in the middle (Parker, 2001, p. 9).…
Nurses use theories in every day practice to help answer questions and to build a strong foundation from. In this paper, two theories will be compared and contrasted. The first article applied Virginia Henderson’s grand theory of Principles and Practice of Nursing, also known as the activities of living theory (Nicely & DeLario, 2011). She believed, “the best health care is patient-focused; better still, family-focused” (Nicely & DeLario, 2011, p. 72). In this article, Henderson’s theory was applied specifically to the population of organ donation. Nicely and DeLario (2011) defined an organ donor as “an individual who is brain dead and is a candidate for solid-organ donation for transplantation” (p. 72). As one can imagine, this situation places a significant amount of stress on not only the patient but also the patient’s family and support system. By applying the fourteen activities categorized under Henderson’s theory, nurses are able to provide the brain dead patient with the proper care they deserve and to ease the process for the family going through this unfortunate situation.…

My personal theoretical orientation to counseling is Cognitive-Behavioral therapy. Cognitive-Behavioral therapy helps the client to uncover and alter distortions of thought or perceptions which may be causing or prolonging psychological distress. The theoretical foundations of CBT are essentially those of the behavioral and cognitive approaches. CBT leads to a clear, persuasive, and evidence-based description of how normal and abnormal behavior develops and changes (Kramer 293). The term “cognitive-behavioral therapy” or CBT is a term for therapies with many similarities. CBT is not used as a cure and often times used to help with anxiety or depression the most, and may be single or in group settings. There are several approaches to this form of therapy which include, Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy, Rational Behavior Therapy, Rational Living Therapy, Cognitive Therapy, and Dialectic Behavior Therapy. Cognitive-behavioral therapy is based on the idea that our thoughts cause our feelings and behaviors. External things, like people, situations, and events do not. The greatest benefit of this fact is that we can change the way we think, feel, act, and even more so if the situation does not change.…
