Myth of Er

Even Genius People can be Wrong (An Argument against three points in Plato’s The Republic) “What should young people do with their lives today? Many things, obviously. But the most daring thing is to create stable communities in which the terrible disease of loneliness can be cured.” (Vonnegut) Plato explains the perfect city and their perfect kind. He follows the idea of Vonnegut’s stable community and uses many different ideas to explain how to create this perfect city. Some of his best points, the ones that I agree with the most, are that a philosopher should be king, people should be divided into classes through education, and that everyone should have their place and job. Sadly, not everyone can be perfectly right all of the time. It is difficult to for one man or even one woman to convey all of his ideas in a way that will please everyone. There are some points that Plato makes in The Republic that are can be argued against, such as the idea of an afterlife, the idea of education, and when you decline in social status, you can’t ascend. One point that can be argued against in Plato’s Republic is his idea of an afterlife. “Hear the word of Lachesis, the daughter of Necessity. Mortal souls, behold a new cycle of life and mortality. Your genius will not be allotted to you, but you choose your genius; and let him who draws the first lot have the first choice, and the life which he chooses shall be his destiny.” (Republic) Plato explains that his idea of the afterlife…

During this discussion between Socrates and Glaucon, Socrates telsl a story, the Myth of Er, that the just will receive rewards in the afterlife. This myth is envisioned of a strong man named Er who is killed during a battle, but he does not actually die. Instead he is sent up above the earth to a place called heaven and while he is there he is made to overlook what is going on around him in heaven because he is to become a messenger. After he sees that the dead either go up through on opening…

“Heartless” Strength of American Nurses Have you ever thought about how hard it is to be a nurse? How emotionally difficult it is to have a patient die in your care? Nurses do more than most people realize, they have no time to mourn every patient's death because there is always someone else who is going to need their full attention. Some may say nurses are heartless, I know I did. To be a nurse is to be mentally strong. Based on my personal experiences I have come to see that American nurses…

to the client, not what you perceive to be the biggest problem. Sometimes the client will not always voice what their biggest problem is, which is why it takes keen observation and open ended questions to discover the client’s real need(s). My personal goals for next week at CC4C are: I will ask my preceptor about the ways, if any, to provide input into being a part of providing education before going to the first visit. If acceptable to preceptor, I will ask my client, one question about her…

their hours of operation Monday through Friday, whenever possible. On weekends the ER or Med/Surge floor take care of the procedures. The only time procedures are not scheduled with them in the outpatient infusion area is if the patient is coming in twice per day for IV antibiotics or if the patient needs a blood transfusion and it can’t be completed by the time the Outpatient infusion area closes. We do have many people come to the ER on the weekend as outpatient to receive their Sub-Q…

Later in 2012 my husband and I filled bankruptcy. My husband blamed me a lot for this because of the huge pay cut I had taken. We went from being able to purchase three to four hundred dollars of groceries to maybe fifty dollars of groceries every couple of weeks. Three years after starting work with Dr. Sheila Hill my hours started being cut. I went two weeks without working and no pay. I knew there was no way I could take this kind of pay cut. On the days I had off I would go around town…

The most rewarding part of nursing is to be able to help people as a career. However, it is not always as nice as it sounds to be. I was stroked with an event during my clinical rotation in the last year of my nursing school 1993 that influenced my decision making in my nursing career. A 7 year old boy was brought to ER who was a severe burning victim with no one inch of normal skin. The kid, coming from a very low income family, suffered from the burning accident in a concrete trash house came…

Qin Shi Huangdi, the first Qin emperor, envisioned a central bureaucratic structure headed by royalty to rule China under his name. Though it came at the severe cost of public sentiment, Qin was an extremely proactive emperor who implemented much of what he had envisioned before. It’s agreed upon that the Qin Dynasty laid the foundation for the massive cultural and economic development of China that took place during the Han Dynasty. Although the Qin Dynasty is easily considered among the most…
