Week 8 Comments and Feedback

I think the comments that I am receiving from other people in the class are rather constructive, and I appreciate the "human" aspect of these comments. Realizing that it may be difficult to connect with others in the class, since this is an online class, I like that I get to see some new comments each week on my introduction. I think the quality of feedback that I have been giving out has also steadily gotten better as I have gone through the class. Reading other peoples' work and giving them feedback helps me understand areas where I can improve my own writing, and realizing what kind of feedback I would like for myself helps me improve the feedback-writing process process. As for blog comments, as I mentioned before, I am quite happy with receiving new blog comments each week, and like that I get to meet new people that way. To make feedback assignments more useful to me and for others in the future, I think I would try spending more time on each piece that I am offering feedback on and working on being even more detailed than I am currently.

I believe that it's impossible to be an effective healthcare provider without knowing about people and being able to interact with people. And, more specifically, I feel that religion is a foundational aspect of understand why and how people think the way they do - another consideration that can significantly impact patient-provider interactions. Having said these things, does that mean that my sole purpose of stud

Week 12 Story: Arjuna's Martyrdom

Image
Arjuna was born to fight wars. No, literally - he was born into the Kshatriya caste, which constituted the warriors and rulers. He had been preparing for battle and warfare since he was born. He had been the most astute warrior ever known, never faltering with his bow and arrow. And, today, he was faced with the hardest battle of his life. He stood in the Kurukshetra Battlefield, facing his cousins and teachers. Drona, Bhishma - the whole crew. He didn't know what to do. He stood and stared at everyone sharpening their weapons and preparing for battle before leaning in to his charioteer, Krishna, and whispering, "I don't think I can do this anymore. I've fought the toughest of wars in the world, but this is tougher than those. I cannot bring myself to kill my cousins and teachers, Krishna." Krishna immediately grabbed the reins and steered the chariot into the middle of the battlefield. Everyone on both the Pandavas' and Kauravas' side froze and st
