Nursing Degree
Nursing which is my major actually requires a degree in order for one to be successful. Nursing being a very sensitive profession that involves interaction with so many people, nurses who eventually graduate should be properly equipped with necessary knowledge. In nursing ever single unit consists of goals, behavior, media, and previous knowledge of content and knowledge evaluation. Practical subjects in nursing will need practical approach h and probably repetition in order for everyone to understand. For example, use of mannequins in teaching students on how to dress wounds (Lisko, pg. 106-108). Nursing requires one to go through a process as eventually as a graduate you will get to deal with human lives and without sufficient knowledge one may not be able to eventually help a patient or may cost someone their life.
Patient safety is usually placed as the first reason why a nursing student needs higher education. A nursing student will be required to take units such as anatomy and physiology and the best way to get this knowledge is from school. They need to understand how the different body parts works in our systems from a single tissue to an organ system. Without a basic understanding of the human physiology and anatomy a student is highly likely to mess up. Nurse primary rose is monitor patient’s response to medication and treatment. These nurses need to have an understanding on the medication, their pharmacokinetics and their mode of actions. At times a patient may be allergic to certain drugs and it is important for a nurse to be able to identify that and provide an alternative medicine. The only way a nurse will be able to get all this information that will be useful in her profession is getting higher education (Aliakbari, pg. 106).
Professionalism is another reason why a nurse needs a degree. Nurses interacts with all sorts of people in their profession and they need to know how to handle these individuals for example there will always be cases of patient and heath professional such as nurse confidentiality. At times there are very sensitive matters that a patient may reveal to a nurse and ask him or her not to tell anyone anything. Such cases may include instances of rape or domestic violence. There is code of ethics that apply in the medical profession including guiding principles; autonomy, justice, beneficence, and non-maleficence (Jonsen, Siegler and Winslade 2). When a health profession does not understand these principles in place they may find themselves being sued which may affect their career. There are technical machines also employed in hospitals that nurses need to use such as MRI machines, life support machines, x-ray among others. Without a degree or a higher education, they may not be able to understand how to operate these machines.
Nursing teaching has to be both disruptive and deterrent impacts of environmental factors on the learning process and leads to both equality and justice in learning. In nursing education one can acquire skills through performing practical procedures that requires one to attend classes for example learning how to inject a person or learning how to stitch up wounds. The framework or theory that would best suit a theoretical class will be different theory in a practical or different class. The best way professors could apply the different nursing theories is by examining the curriculum in hand, the students as well as the environment ensuring they grasp the necessary content.

Narcissism: A critical analysis in the story The Necklace
Abstract
When it comes to social classes, it is necessary to appreciate current personal status. This is grounded on the perception that material wealth does not define the character; for instance, wisdom but they are just add-endives to luxuries. In any case, man makes his life significant to by being positive and selfless. This essay will attempt prove how narcissism is primarily responsible in nurturing prolonged years of pain. The essay will discuss Guy Demaupassant short story The necklace. The paper is structured into two main parts, the literature concept and the opinion analysis. The literature concept close examines the plot, characterization and the central theme of narcissism. The second section examines my opinion on the text. Primarily, this is a responsive section that seeks to give attributes on what could have been done. The paper will heavily relate the importance of the necklace to plot development.
Literature Concept
Plot
The necklace short story by Guy Demaupassant tells a predicament of Madam Mathilde Loisel and her husband. Madam Mathilde socially altered herself, and these alterations led to herself believe that she belonged to a high social position. Monsieur Loisel, a lowly paid clerk, is integrated in the story by his constant effort to provide lavish material things to his wife. After securing an invitation to the Ministry of Education party, Monsieur Loisel finds himself in a dilemma to convince his wife to attend the party. Madam Mathilde declines to attend the party claiming she did not have something good to wear. As a result, Monsieur Loisel offers her 400 francs ‘money reserved to buy a hunting rifle’ to buy a dress for his wife. However, her need for material possession does not rest until she borrows a necklace to cream the dressing. This is after Madam Mathilde rejection of his husband offer that she should buy roses to cream the dress. Mathilde borrows Madam Forestre for her fanciest piece of ornament, a fine looking piece of diamond necklace. After the party, Mathilde realizes the necklace was missing. This prompts her desire to look elegant, and as a result, she decided to replace it with a similar one costing 36,000 francs. Loisel family never had sufficient saving for such a large material investment. As a consequence, the family indulgence with aid from loans shark to repay the ornaments is incidental. This marks the beginning of a long financial struggle for the Loisels. After the reparation, Madam Mathilde pounces on Madam Forestre. Apparently, Madam Forestre barely recognizes the degenerated state of Madam Mathilde. After catching up with events of the last decade, Madam Mathilde learns that the original necklace was an imitation costing less than one thousand francs.
Characterization
Mathilde Loisel
A newly wed lady who was born in the family of clerks is married to a clerk. Mathilde conviction of that her current state in life is a mistake of destiny prompts her constant revolt of her social and economic situation. The audience learns from the story that her revolt challenges her present state of affairs, a comfortable home and loving husband. Mathilde material greed is a constant ground for pain and turmoil. The audience learns from the text that Mathilde cannot visit her wealthy friend Forestre because of jealousy. Mathilde constantly denounces destiny, referring to it as a mistake.
Monsieur Loisel
It is clear from the story that Monsieur Loisel is loving, compassionate, and had a strong sense of emotional flare-up as well as constant dis-contention. Also, an eminent character of Monsieur Loisel is his determination to please his wife. Primarily, Monsieur Loisel is supportive his wife materialistic driven agenda. On several occasions, he bails out her material urge without rumination of the financial repercussions associated with it. Monsieur Loisel sacrifices his hunt gun dream to buy one night dress for his wife. Also, it is coherent to note that Monsieur Loisel is sacrificial, protective. When his wife looses the necklace, Monsieur Loise commits himself to a series of reparations hoping this will quench his urge to please her. Finally, it is prudent to note that Monsieur Loise character is gullible. This is based on the knowledge that she agrees to live the life of his wife uncontrollable urge for materials without a second thought.
Theme of Narcissism
In a close reading of Guy Demaupassant short story, one will not fail to notice the overriding theme of social pride and greed. Scholarly, Mathilde character can be defined as one grounded on excessive self-regard. Primarily, it is self regard that leads to the development of unrighteous character. Also, Mathilde suffers superiority complex. This character lead to the development of defense mechanism, and it is chiefly responsible for the development of psychic complexities that can exist within the same individual. Mathilde ultimately believes she is superior compared to others. In any case, she believes right to material possessions is inherent. Core concerns of her personhood are centered on the image and vanity. The innate character attempts to prove its righteousness to the society surrounding it. Whether good or bad that is not part of questioning, to this effect, Mathilde suffers feelings of inadequacy both in character and materials. So to it, Mathilde believes that her life is significant since her beauty and charm make her worthy of materials. The acquisition of Madame Forestier Necklace acts the dramatic turn of events. The necklace is responsible in exposing Mathilde characters. However, it is prudent to note that the author applied the element of emotional consciousness to implement the theme of materials in the story. Emotionally, Mathilde, due to her beauty and charm, muses herself as a martyr. She constantly refers herself with Rue des Martyrs, and in any case, she feels that the life she lives is unbecoming, impractical and inhumane for her personality. As a result, Mathilde hires a necklace to attend a party. Later, Mathilde discovers the necklace is lost, and she has to repay it with 36,000 francs. This not only cost her ten years of reparation but relegates her social prestige adversely.
Opinion
What is the moral of the story?
Scholarly, it is prudent to note that the material affiliation to the necklace attempts to expose the peril of personal narcissism. Materially derived egotism is primarily responsible of drenching Mathilde family to quench her desires. For instance, Mathilde engineered the decision to spend the family spending on a dinner gown. This perception is immoral and disastrous for a growing family. We learn from the story that Mathilde came from a class of clerks. So, there is no justification that Mathilde was not in a position to live a comfortable life, a life that accesses amenities; for example, food and clothing. However, Mathilde affection to material possession was constraining collective efforts of the family. The extract tells us that Mathilde could not focus anything beyond the ball and the ‘greatest night of her life’. The moral-dramatic concept is failure to concede defeat. Mathilde losses the necklace, yet her narcissism could not permit her to admit the loss of the necklace to the owner. This not only subjects the Loisels to year of repayment, but as well painful knowledge that the repatriated necklace was not worth. The moral lesson generated here is beauty does not guarantee wisdom. In any case, application of beauty for material quest is righteous, barbaric and deconstructive. This not only exposes an individual to the harshness of the society, but as well entangles relatives and friends of the victim to the wrath of narcissism.
Is the course of action righteous?
Still on the concept of morality, it is inherently barbaric to commence a repayment of an item which is not worth than the estimated value. However, it is prudent to establish in this discussion that the couple choice for repayment had positive and negatives. Firstly, it is gullible to repay a friend an item whose does not have a valid receipt. Nonetheless, this is contested by the assumption that couple prevailed on the need to tame Mathilde character. Morally, it is righteous to tame Mathilde character. This is based on the postulation that Mathilde character was unbecoming for the social income. Nevertheless, Madam Forestre does not demand a payment because they need an actual financial repayment, but the desire to protect their class exceeded the friendship they shared with Mathilde. This can be debated on the notion that the perceived rich in the society are not that rich, and in any case, these are just deconstructive social affiliations. According to the story, Mathilde life is robbed without apology or notice. Just as an example, the Loisel family dismisses the maid, Mathilde cannot apply the laundry, and in any case, she takes blue-collar jobs to raise sufficient money to repay the loan sharks. The repayment of the money cannot be converted fully the real money pay, but a repayment of how Mathilde applied beauty to work out her life. Consequently, I would join the couple desire to demand a repayment based on the knowledge family needs came first compared to social affiliations. Mathilde had traditionally sacrificed her family to quench her inherent material demand. In any event, the repayment of the necklace acts as a life synthesizer on the need to work constructively to achieve a given social foundation in life.
What other choices were open to them and why were these not chosen?
There were broad choices to be pursued when the necklace got lost. However, this would deter the development of the plot significantly. In any case, the message that Guy Demaupassant wants the audience to learn is blended in the necklace getting lost. Primarily, the couple could have reconsidered searching for the necklace a viable option. This alternative could have required attending party members to act collectively in reallocating the lost necklace. Secondly, there was an alternative of forgiving Mathilde from paying the necklace. As a friend, losing a necklace was normal; therefore, it was constructive to move forward with a spirit of reconciliation. Thirdly, Madam Forestier could have settled the matter humanly. She was obliged to clarify the real value of the necklace, and inversely demand the equivalent amount. However, according to the extract the real value of the necklace is exaggerated. Clarifying the real value of the necklace could have saved Loisel family from ten years of misery. Nonetheless, the central theme of the story could not have been established. As a result, the repayment acts to fulfill the central theme of the story. To affirm the importance of the repayment, one should look closely on the results of the repayment. Mathilde a lavish minded individual has been structured to work hard to meet demands of the repayment. As a result, Mathilde perception of a lavish life is restructured to those with consideration of working to achieve a good life, a life without extreme poverty or extreme wealth. This discussion contests the conjecture that Mathilde ten years is wasted. The underlying reason is that Mathilde perception is changed. In any case, the repayment acts as rejuvenating learning period. After ten, years Mathilde perception is restructured to believe that she can achieve much of she worked for it.
Conclusion
This essay has attempted to close examine the theme of narcissism and how it is primarily responsible in subjecting a material lady into years of financial bondage. The paper has borrowed deeply on Guy Demaupassant short story. The necklace presents how narcissism works. To accomplish the educative analysis, I have presented my opinion; what should have been done and the moral story behind the story. The paper has as well close examined the importance of the necklace to the plot.

My Story
Introduction
This paper posits to explain who I am, how I become me, and the life experiences that shaped the person I am, as well as the way I see and interact with humanity around me. I am a young man of Chinese origin who at one time in my upbringing, I lived in China prior to joining the University. I come from a humble family, and I have a younger brother who seeks inspiration from me. In this paper I will illustrate how my father influenced me as a leader in an investment company that he owns. I draw a lot of inspiration from my father since I have seen him build his investment company from scratch. My father is literally my mentor and role model since he has demonstrated to us, as his family, how to stay focused even in periods of turmoil. Prior to leaving China, my father was a bank manger in one of the leading banks in china. However, due to diverse reasons related to the political climate in China, our family left in some unclear circumstances. This meant that my father’s entire life savings and property in China was lost and he had to start from scratch. Upon entering this country, my father maneuvered his way and started an investment company with the help of some old friends. Today he is my inspiration as I pursue my studies looking forward to a successful life in the future.
ROLE MODELS
Role models are extremely vital psychologically for individuals, in that they help in guiding these individuals in the course of life throughout their development. This helps in making essential decisions that influence the outcome of people’s lives, and to help in finding happiness in life. As a person grows they search for role models for insight and utilize this as an outline for how they ought to behave when they are older. This is probably a survival activity designed to assist people to imitate the traits of successful members of the society and thus help them in being successful too. In addition, it’s considered that in later life, a person’s happiness is based on their perception of how their life ought to or can be and the breach between that, and the way it is in actuality. In other words, it means striving for similar success as well as achieving it that causes happiness or frustration when people grow older. This is referred to as actualization.
Role models are regularly considered to be essential to the successful progress of youthful aspiring managers. It is essential to note that, role models are individuals whose attributes, styles, and behaviors are emulated by other people. In contrast to mentors, who are usually close, since they are personally known in interactive relationships with the young person, role models usually are not familiar with the user of the role model, nor do they offer their consent to be used in this manner. For this reason, role models could be close or remote to the user of the role model. The theory of social learning is useful in illustrating how role modeling operates. People monitor the conduct of others in certain situations, and observe the outcomes of the conduct. Consequently, they employ this knowledge to form their own behavior in comparable contexts with anticipation of similar results. They are socialized into an approval of the abilities, values, expected behaviors as well as social knowledge requisite for their new responsibilities, mainly in organizational life. In the course of emulation of monitored behaviors as well as career paths of the role models, the youthful managers as well as professionals perform their new responsibilities.
Role models might be current leaders in a range of fields, who exhibit certain behaviors, qualities, attitudes, and characteristics, that are inspirational to other people as models for the successful assimilation of self and new careers.
My Father as My Mentor and Role Model. There is usually one person in every person’s life that forms their strength of character. There is usually one individual who offers a person courage, guidance, and wisdom. For most people there is usually someone is their lives that inspires them and makes them desire to be better individuals. All people have role models or mentors in their lives, somebody that they can draw inspiration from, and proudly say why they do. That individual in my life is my father. He is my mentor, as well as my role model. My father always inspires me to prosper, to succeed, to live and love. My father is the reason that I am the individual I am at the moment. A role model is somebody who continues to thrust us towards greatness. This is prominence in us, as well as prominence in this harsh world. Role models have an enormous burden on them, so it is an achievement for them to recognize that the people whom they influence have done something that gratifies them. Role models effortlessly assume the role of heroes in people’s lives. It would be fitting to share what a sensation it is to confidently declare that my father is actually my hero. He gives me confidence to succeed, and he narrates to me real life stories derived from his experiences. He offers me the necessary advice I require exactly at the time I require it in order to thrive. He is the individual that makes everything perfect for me. In the event that I have experienced a terrible day, it takes is his influence to get the encouragement that I require. In the event that I accomplish something in life, feel compelled to share it with my father since he is the person who gave me the inspiration to do it in the first place.
CONCLUSION
Because of my father, I will always endeavor to be better in my life. My father is intelligent, outstanding, honest and wholesome. When I require something put in the appropriate perspective I pursue his opinion. I adore my father, instead of something unachievable or misinterpreted by the media. I acknowledge that I require something concrete in my life to steer me in the appropriate direction. My father is proud of me for what I have achieved as well as, the manner in which I share the joy and cheerfulness that he has instilled in me, as well as the people around me. That is an illustration of how my father has influenced me to becoming a better person. Looking at my father, I now realize that leaders always develop leaders. Prudent leaders like my father acknowledge that the imperative responsibility they have of developing upcoming leaders.
