WHAT DO THE TERMS RACE & ETHNICITY MEAN TO ME? The terms race and ethnicity to me are two very different things. Race is said to be determined by your physical appearance. I believe that we are what we are. So many different things in society today have had a label put on them. If you fill out a survey they ask for your race. If you apply for a job‚ they ask for your race. I cannot seem to understand the point in all of this. Everything is said to be “equal opportunity”‚ yet every time you

First‚ I would like to express what service and leadership means to me. Service is work done for somebody else as a favor or a duty‚ often with regard to whether it pleases them or not. It goes beyond tutoring ADHD children in these less fortunate neighborhoods; it goes on for a lifetime. Service is something everyone should experience once in a lifetime. It’s a blessing to be able to help someone at a vulnerable time in their life or because they aren’t able to make it happen for themselves‚ it’s

It is important to me that nursing is identified as an honorable and essential profession. I believe that nursing is a status that reflects the two equally important parts of nursing knowledge: Empirical knowledge and Esthetical knowledge. “It is the artful nurse’s interactions that can bridge the gap introduced by technology and science‚ thereby creating integrity and engagement rather than detachment in the personal encounter” (Johnson‚ 1994).

Most of all I do not like patriotism very much because I have some negative associations with it. It reminds me of flags‚ war and football. I have to think about people being proud and admiring their country – sometimes in a quite naive way. I do not think that pride is completely bad. Pride is good for one’s self-esteem and so is patriotism. Pride is alright if it improves the own self-perception. But I don’t like it as soon as pride makes people look down on others. This is arrogance. Sadly
