OVERVIEW

Topic 1. Another World; the Americas, Asia, Africa.

To the surprise of the Church and the illiterate monarchs of Europe, and to the pleasure of the merchant class, there existed another world, to the West, to the East, and to the South of the grand Christian continent. Exploration brought exploitation. When the Europeans arrived, they came into contact with culturally rich civilizations, whose historical presence although well attested by todays investigative efforts, was not known at the time. They were thus conveniently categorized as heathen and uncivilized, or native a term that included all of the possible derogatory notions available to Church and Royal authority when describing races and peoples of different colour, of different customs, of different ethics and of course of a different religion. In North America people had lived for thousands of years in a symbiotic state of existence, respecting their environment, idolizing the forces of nature, venerating Mother Earth, and sustaining a culture that was entranced perhaps by communal choice- into the technological context of the Late Neolithic Era. They were to be slowly, steadily and methodically, annihilated by the Europeans. In Central and South America vast territorial empires stretched across mountain valleys incorporating regions of diverse cultural wealth. They were also to be slowly, steadily and methodically, annihilated by the Europeans. In the East, which Europeans divided into three sections, each based on its proximity to Europe, the Near East, the Middle East and the Far East, cultures and civilization of a higher standing than that of Western and Central Europe had for millennia existed. These included the heirs of the Byzantine Greeks The Ottomans and the Russians, and The Palestinians, the Syrians, the Persians, the Arabs and Mamelukes of Egypt, the peoples of the Indus Valley, the peoples of China and of course the Japanese. Europe was to gain from this contact immensely as the introduction of the sciences, medicine, technology and advanced mathematics, not to exclude higher philosophy were all derived from this multitude of cultures which the Europeans were not only to conquer, subdue and enslave but to slowly, steadily and methodically, attempt to annihilate.

Select an active bill at the state or federal level that impacts the professional practice of nursing. In a 56 page paper (excluding the title and reference pages), summarize the provisions of the bill and clearly explain what the bill will accomplish. The paper should be at least 56 pages, typed in Times New Roman using 12-point font, and double-spaced with 1″ margins.

Your review of a bill paper should:

Discuss the major provisions of the bill.
Demonstrate an in-depth understanding of the legislation by explaining the background and all relevant facts.
Discuss any relevant history related to the legislation, pertinent votes, and issues that are stalling the legislation, etc.
Use primary sources for this information.
Identify key supporters and those who do not support the bill. Explain why some of these individuals support the bill and why some do not.
Explore the positions of the key stakeholders in the bill, both pros and cons. Do not make assumptions about potential key stakeholders. Examine this area carefully so you are correctly reflecting the stakeholders positions.
Discuss how the bill would impact a nurses ability to provide safe and quality care or to practice to the highest scope of the nursing license.
Explain specific actions that nurses can take to assist with the passage or defeat of the legislation
Use APA format, correct grammar, and references as appropriate.

Compare and contrast Freud’s view of the unconscious with Jung’s view and apply this case example in your explanations.

One of the very first cases that caught Freud’s attention when he was starting to develop his psychoanalytic theory was that of Anna O, a patient of fellow psychiatrist Josef Breuer. Although Freud did not directly treat her, he did thoroughly analyze her case as he was fascinated by the fact that her hysteria was “cured” by Breuer. It is her case that he believes was the beginning of the psychoanalytic approach.

Through your analysis of this case, you will not only look deeper into Freud’s psychoanalytic theory but also see how Jung’s neo-psychoanalytic theory compares and contrasts with Freud’s theory.

Review the following:

The Case of Anna O.

One of the first cases that inspired Freud in the development of what would eventually become the Psychoanalytic Theory was the case of Anna O. Anna O. was actually a patient of one of Freud’s colleagues Josef Breuer. Using Breuer’s case notes, Freud was able to analyze the key facts of Anna O’s case.

Anna O. first developed her symptoms while she was taking care of her very ill father with whom she was extremely close. Some of her initial symptoms were loss of appetite to the extent of not eating, weakness, anemia, and development a severe nervous cough. Eventually she developed a severe optic headache and lost the ability to move her head, which then progressed into paralysis of both arms. Her symptoms were not solely physical as she would vacillate between a normal, mental state and a manic-type state in which she would become extremely agitated. There was even a notation of a time for which she hallucinated that the ribbons in her hair were snakes.

Toward the end of her father’s life she stopped speaking her native language of German and instead only spoke in English. A little over a year after she began taking care of her father he passed away. After his passing her symptoms grew to affect her vision, a loss of ability to focus her attention, more extreme hallucinations, and a number of suicidal attempts (Hurst, 1982).

Both Freud and Jung would acknowledge that unconscious processes are at work in this woman’s problems. However, they would come to different conclusions about the origin of these problems and the method by which she should be treated.

Research Freud’s and Jung’s theories of personality using your textbook, the Internet, and the Argosy University online library resources. Based on your research, respond to the following:

Compare and contrast Freud’s view of the unconscious with Jung’s view and apply this case example in your explanations.
