Cultural Sensitivity and Nursing in the United States

Globalisation has brought along with it the need for diversity and sensitivity. There are many examples that can prove that being diverse and sensitive has now become more preferable than being ethnocentric. For instance, many employers seek a diverse skillset and even languages, when they're on the lookout to recruit new employees. But they also seek that the person has amazing soft skills, such as communication and empathy. Similarly, cultural sensitivity is being assured even on campuses, in schools, and in every discipline and profession that we can think of.

Nursing is one such profession where cultural sensitivity is being taken seriously. The nature of the profession demands the highest form of empathy for those looking forward to establishing a career in nursing. Now let's visualise the nursing landscape in the United States. As a country, the United States has citizens belonging to a multitude of religions, races and nationalities.

What Does it Take to Work in the Aged Care Sector?

The first basic element to take care of any other living creature is empathy. Without empathy, you will not be able to feel another's pain or suffering as your own. And without feeling another's pain, you wouldn't be able to take care of them. Sadly in the hustle-bustle of this modern life, many people abandon their parents when they become old. And then, unfortunately, there are old people who have not been abandoned but nonetheless, they don't have anybody to take care of them.

So you feel the pain of the elderly as your own, and you have decided to work in the aged care sector. But what will it really take to do so? There are a lot of tasks that you can help out the elderly with. You can help them in their daily outdoor and indoor chores such as shopping and housekeeping. You can also help them at a more personal level, that is, maintaining their hygiene. Other activities that you can do include organising social support and making sure the person you're taking care of doesn't feel left out.

The Origins of Mountain Trail Biking

The story of mountain biking can be traced to Marin Country, California in the United States of America. This is not to say that there haven't been bikers or riders before that, but rather the gravity of the situation taken by the bikers in Marin County was on a whole other level.

 Since mountains are comprised of high and low steeps, mountain bikes are different too. Bike manufacturers started producing lighter bikes to make it easier for bikers to rule every high or low steep that comes along the trail they embark their ride on.

The Deaths of Influential People: When And How?

History is full of people whom we consider our heroes, it also consists of many unforgettable events. If we were to go through the list of influential and famous figures in history, it would take us years. Not to mention that even during those years and right now, history is being made by notable figures. Whatever their field is, they have left a legacy and major mark on the world. The likes of scientists such as Albert Einstein and Galileo Galilei, to this day, help us understand the universe, with theories about gravity, the invention of the telescope, and much more.

 Be it positive or negative, we all have something to take from history and allow it to shape our perceptions. Our role models vary from each other, according to their values and even the way they died. However, not all our heroes have died naturally or by accident. In fact, some have gone so far as to commit suicide, throwing away years of power and glory within minutes. In the list of these suicides, Cleopatra, Socrates and most surprisingly, Adolf Hitler is included. Socrates' death is considered heroic because he drank a bowl of poison instead of handing himself over to be killed by others. Cleopatra's death has the same storyline. Rather than surrendering herself to the Octavian Empire, she ended her life via the poison of an Egyptian serpent. Socrates and Cleopatra would rather have their names written in gold, than surrender to their enemies.
