Abstract
This paper is an analytical piece on the photographer Dorothea Lange. She is known for her genuine photographs of the new industrial revolution. The writer explains the pictures and the images that portray life during the Great Depression. The focus of the paper is to examine various themes in her three most prominent photographs, copies of which are appended to the paper: (1) Migrant Mother; (2) The White Angel Breadline; and (3) Japanese Boy Awaiting Evacuation. The conclusion argues that these pictures revolve around the philosophy that photography is one factual sequence that reveals an extraordinary detail out of the most ordinary incidents.

From the Paper
"Lange's photographic theory and style reveals one that is ordinary, yet at the same time, extraordinary. This is seen in many of her photographs, such as her most moving picture scene taken in Nipomo, California--the Migrant Mother. As shown in the appendix portion on page 5, a mother is shown sitting upright with a sleeping child in her arms, and two children leaning on her, as she sat in a ragged tent at a peapicker camp in March 1936 (Library Congress Prints & Photographs Division 1). The picture depicted grief and difficulty during the Great Depression, with parts of the bodies (e.g., arms, nose and mouth) forming angular lines that denote directness or plainness (of reality). The rough texture of the four bodies contradicts with the smoothness of the tent in the background. Arms, heads, and necks that are bent mean weakness and misery. When looking at the V-shaped arm of the mother, the eye flows from the elbow to the hand to the mouth, which appears as if the mother is grief-stricken because she does not have food to feed her children. The sleeping child looks as if he or she is on the verge of dying. When it comes to tone and mood, however, the somber expression and the blank background denote inconsistency and frailty of life. Still, the picture appears to be balanced, smooth and proportional, despite the varying lengths of lines, the different textures, and the various ages and heights that are portrayed in the picture. With the lines creating a smooth and constructive flow among the figures, the picture is like a scene in itself, capturing the heart of the observer and creating a story in one full motion that makes the observer understand what is exactly going on."

Abstract
Dorothea Dix was a teacher, advocate for the mentally ill and responsible for forming the Army nursing corps for the Union during the Civil War ("Biography", 2007, sec. 1). Dix was a pioneer in many respects because she recognized the needs of individuals and did not hesitate to fight for change to improve their lives. As a teacher she understood the need for learning and literacy. As an advocate she witnessed the maltreatment of the mentally ill and fought diligently for the construction of hospitals designed to address their needs. And as a nursing leader, she volunteered to create a military nursing corps that established nurses as significant members of the health care community and women as capable and responsible partners in the treatment of patients.

Abstract
The following discussion provides a detailed description of the life of Dorothea Dix, who sought to create new opportunities for the mentally ill to obtain specialized care and treatment for their problems. The writer discusses that her efforts led to the development of asylums and mental hospitals, which offered these individuals a means of discovery and hope that will not be forgotten.

From the Paper
"The work of Dorothea Dix was highly significant during a transitional period in American History. Her strong desire to provide assistance to those with physical and mental problems facilitated a new wave of advancement in the care and treatment of the ill. During the 1800s, many of her ideas were considered to be radical and unconventional, yet she held a steadfast belief that individuals suffering from a variety of ills deserved improved treatment and opportunities for wellness. Throughout her life span, Dorothea Dix supported patient rights and the well being of those in need, and her legacy is primarily based upon these key principles. The following discussion will describe the life of Dorothea Dix in greater detail, emphasizing her life's work, determination, and courage in an attempt to reform the care and treatment of those affected by physical and mental impairments."

Abstract
This paper examines Dorothea lange's famous controversial photograph: "Migrant Mother". The author looks at how the photograph became a symbol for propaganda for the New Deal. This photograph caused a stir in the government and became a controversial topic. The author looks at the career of Dorothea Lange and her involvement in government.

From the paper:

"Dorothea Lange's "documentary" photograph, Migrant Mother, became a symbol for a plethora of causes after successfully being created as propaganda to legitimize the New Deal. When Dorothea Lange shot Migrant Mother, she had completed her transition from portraitist to documentary photography and was working with the Farm Security Administration. Lange's work was required to fit the New Deal's ideology handed down from the Roosevelt administration. In order to achieve these mandates, Lange significantly manipulated her subjects. Due to these actions, her photograph is easily adaptable. Migrant Mother not only catalyzed relief aid to the migrants; people later manipulated it into other symbols."

Abstract
The paper discusses that although a number of nursing theories have been advanced over the years, some have had a more lasting impact than others and this is certainly the case with the nursing theory developed by Dorothea Orem. The paper notes that although Orem recently passed away her influence on nursing theory continues to expand around the world. This nursing theory summary paper provides an overview and discussion of Orem's nursing theory and paradigm, followed by a summary of the research in the conclusion.

Review and Discussion
Conclusion

From the Paper
"These two philosophical concepts serve as a basis for inclusion of educational strategies that assist students from disadvantaged backgrounds to meet required needs resulting from limitations related to finance, education, and/or culture". The paradigm developed by Orem includes the critical component of caring as the framework in which the theory is administered. For instance, Rami and Hansberry report, "Caring is the milieu in which the educational methodologies are planned, and includes awareness and acceptance of an individual's strengths and weaknesses" (p. 80). This level of caring requires a holistic approach to patient assessment and the formulation of appropriate clinical interventions."

Abstract
This paper discusses the photographer Dorothea Lange and her use of photography to document social issues such as the problems of poverty and the unemployed during the Great Depression. The author describes how Lange's work raises to a high level the tension between recording fact and deliberately creating symbols, and looks closely at how and why three of her most famous photographs, "White Angel Breadline," "Migrant Mother," and "Waiting To File Claims" became symbols of the Depression. Through Lange's photographs and dedication to bettering social conditions, she was able to accomplish her goal in improving American society. This paper contains figures.

From the Paper
"It was during 1933 that Lange began her foray into the social world of depression. Lange observed the increasing number of unemployed workers in the streets of San Francisco and one day decided to take pictures of them. Compelled by the visible human anguish of the Great Depression, she traveled through the streets to a bread line that had been recently set up by White Angel, a wealthy woman living in San Francisco. She took several photographs that day but the most telling was the one of an "unshaven, hunched-up little man, leaning on a railing with a tin can between his arms, his hands clenched, the line of his mouth bitter, his back turned to those others waiting for a handout."

Abstract
In this paper, the author discusses the purpose and rationale for using Dorothea Orem's self-care deficit theory of nursing (S-CDTN) in her women's health practice and the development of a plan to implement the self-care deficit theory in the author's workplace. The author also discusses possible barriers and challenges to implementation, presents evaluation criteria and critique of S-CDTN, and provides examples of S-CDTN relevant to the author's workplace.

From the Paper
"Dorothea Orem, first published in 1971, developed her nursing theory independent of the medical model focusing on the autonomy of nursing practice and provided a link of relevant nursing knowledge to the requisites of clients needing health-related care (Koenig Blais, Hayes, Kozier, & Erb, 2002, chap. 6). The self-care deficit theory "expresses and develops the reasons why persons require nursing care" (Dennis, 1997, p. 11). The core of this theory and the first of the three theory components is self-care/dependent care. Her self-care theory focused on the recipient of nursing care versus the nurse provider. Self-care encompasses learned activities natural to all adults as they respond to internal and external (environment) input. Dependent care is actions the individual performs on behalf of children or adults due to health deviations or developmental age (Dennis, 1997, chap. 2). "

Abstract
This paper examines the career of the photojournalist Dorothea Lange when it was a newly-forming profession and a field that was dominated by men. It analyzes how she did not start out to become a powerful force for social justice, but her compassion led her in that direction and away from the commercial photography that she began with. It looks at her considerable success in government, with her work for the Farm Security Administration and then with Life magazine in the 1940s, documenting people in their environments, including people in other countries. It evaluates how her accomplishments paved the way for other women journalists and photographers.

From the Paper
"The obstacles placed in Lange's way were primarily created by those who did not want her to create her images and did not want other people to see them. This included the very government that had initially hired her. She was hired by the California and Federal Resettlement Administration initially, which did support her farm and migrant labor photo series. However, her efforts during World War II were not as appreciated. During this time, she focused on the forced relocation to internment camps and recorded the work of women and minority workers in wartime industries in California. This is the work that was suppressed in some instances, because the government did not want the images to appear and affect people (Dorothea Lange's "Migrant Mother", 1999)."

Abstract
This research examines the life, work and legacy of Dorothea Elizabeth Orem, a nursing theorist whose ideas emerged in the 1950s, exerting a great deal of influence on nursing education and practice. This paper analyzes Orem's theory, also known as the self-care deficit theory of nursing (SCDT).

From the Paper
"Based on the assessment, the nurse may provide different degrees of "compensation" for the individual patient's "deficits" or relative inability to care for himself/herself(Orem, 1985). The theory is consistent with notions of wellness, preventive intervention, and patient empowerment that have been observed to foster recovery in a variety of venues and with a variety of illnesses (Shea, 1992; Neergaard, 1990)."

Abstract
This paper takes a look at the work of Dorothea Orem and Imogene King in the world of nursing. According to the paper, both Orem and King have contributed considerably to the development of nursing science and conceptual theory. The paper goes on to review and discuss Orem and King's theories.

From the Paper
"As far as nursing is concerned, both of these individuals see the importance of nursing as a helping and supportive field. Orem's emphasis is on art and technology to help someone care for him/herself, whereas King's is on meeting a social need and both individuals and groups who require healthcare. The emphasis on Orem's approach in on the patient doing as much as possible for him/herself; King's is on the interrelationship between the nurse and the patient. Orem's stress is on the immediate need of care and King is on a longer timetable of care from birth to illness to care of the dying in social settings."
