Abstract
This paper discusses Parse's theory of human becoming and how it represents an alternative knowledge base to guide nursing practice. It presents a case study in order to illustrate how Parse's theory provides structure. It demonstrates how the pivotal concepts in Parse's theory is the person as expert for his or her life and the significance of client choice. The paper shows how Parse's theory has been used as the theoretical framework that has guided the writer's own practice.
From the Paper
"Parse's human becoming theory enabled me to understand that Amy was the expert in her life and the expert in her care. The structure which Parse provided facilitated my working with Amy along a direction that correlated with her needs. As a result of that client- and family-centered perspective, we were able to develop a strong trusting relationship. She was aware that she was valued as a human being and that her point of view was at the core. She therefore was able to request assistance without feeling intimidated my professional expertise and profession. This is because in human becoming theory, the nurse never situates herself as expert (Kelly, 1999). As a result of using Parse's theoretical framework, I have acquired an enhanced understanding of what being a nurse means."

From the Paper
"Parse's theory of human becoming theory is a means for providing structure for ways of thinking and being with patients as they create their own quality of life. Human becoming theory is concerned with lived experiences of health (Kelly, 1999). The holistic approach is essential since lived experience, meaning, and understanding all form various aspects of the unitary process of human life (Kelly, 1999). Parse's concepts guide nursing for being present with the patient as they illuminate meaning, synchronize rhythms, and co-transcend with the possibles. Hope is based in these possibles: the person is moving beyond the present toward the unknown. My life experience will illustrate how Parse's theory helps the person to maintain hope and to achieve transformation. For Parse, the central idea is that the person is expert for their lives and they always have choices. The person is involved in a search for meaning and is capable of achieving transformation."

Abstract
This paper discusses Dr Rosemarie Parse's theory of human becoming and how it relates to the writer's personal nursing practice. It looks at Parse's views on the nature of human health and healing and her stress on the role of individuals in their health and lives. The paper discusses how the writer has learned the importance of the patient as the center of care and to always view the patient as the authority on his or her health.

Introduction
Person as Moving towards Health and Healing
Parse's Definition of Health
Health and Healing and the Goal of Nursing
Conclusion
From the Paper
"As a result of Parse's theory, I am convinced that the goal of my own nursing practice should be enhanced quality of life for each patient as they perceive and experience that quality of life. The person is an active participant whose goal is not related to either health or illness but quality of life. Because of Parse, I will never set myself up as an expert for the patient. Parse's theory has been tested through research and found to be most beneficial with AIDS patients. The theory is applicable for any group of patients. In my own practice, Parse's theory is will be very useful for providing direction for such nursing actions as developing a therapeutic relationship with each patient as well as with such interventions as health teaching, counseling and, above all, exploring meaning with patients. The theory of human becoming is most valuable since it provides a clear structure for approaching and being present to patients while they struggle with the issue of quality of life in their lives."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Parse defines persons as "intentional beings involved with their world, having a fundamental nature of knowing, being present, and open to their world" (McEwen & Wills, 2002, p. 195). The human being freely chooses meaning in every situation, and assume responsibilities for their decisions. The person is not only becoming but creates becoming and is free to choose specific ways of becoming. Health is "a way of being in the world...the living of day-to-day ways of being" (McEwen & Wills, 2002, p. 195). In Parse's view, health is a matter of "quality of life experienced and described by the person" (Relf, 1997, p. 3). The patient is the person who experiences or does not have quality of life, can best articulate the meaning of quality of life, and can describe what it should involve."

This paper presents a review of Joseph Wood Krutch's "Human Nature and the Human Condition". The paper discusses the author's main themes, provides a summary of the work, and addresses the strengths and weaknesses of the collection of essays as a whole.
From the Paper
"Throughout history human beings have attempted to produce theories of knowledge and learning. Some of the most basic questions such theories have attempted to answer concern what knowledge is, where knowledge comes from and how we know what is true. Plato theorized that only things that do not change, that are immutable can be known. Limitations of the human senses and perception have always played into theories on knowing. So too has human capacity for ration and more..."

Human rights vs. Human Nature, 2006.
A discussion regarding the justification of war and the issue of human rights versus human nature.

Abstract
This paper reviews the question of justifying military intervention on the basis of protection of human rights, pointing out that such a question requires a prior assumption. The paper clarifies this assumption to be that countries are capable of benevolent, disinterested altruism. History refutes this assumption. The paper further discusses how individuals and groups within a country may very well have the best intentions to bring relief to the suffering citizens of a brutal dictatorship or civil war; but countless examples, from Vietnam, to Latin America, to Rwanda, to present day Iraq, show a road to hell paved with such good intentions. The political and military forces involved in such maneuvers, by their very nature, preclude truly altruistic actions.

Bibliography
From the Paper
"According to a separate report, "Migrant trafficking and smuggling has become a global business generating huge profits for traffickers and organized crime syndicates." (Counter-Trafficking, 2006) In fact in a study conducted by IOM reports "...an estimated 15 to 30 million irregular migrants worldwide." (Counter-Trafficking, 2006) Sadly a report of the U.S. Department of Justice states that an estimated "...700,000 women and children are trafficked yearly across borders." (Counter-Trafficking, 2006) The reason stated that so many of these migrants go unreported is due to the inherent "...clandestine nature..." involved in so many of the lives and migration of these individuals."

From the Paper
"Abstract
This paper is an investigation of the topic of aggression in both humans and non-human primates with an attempt to understand the causes of such aggression and what links exist between the aggressive behaviors of different primate species.
The literature on primate aggression is reviewed and a number of bases for aggressive behavior are put forth, including psychoanalytic, biological, evolutionary and learned. The validity of each of these explanatory paradigms is examined and the evolutionary and social learning perspectives are established as being the most useful bases on which to create theoretical models of primate aggressive behavior.
A substantial amount of attention is paid to possible evolutionary causes of aggression and evolutionarily based links between the aggressive tendencies..:

Abstract
Nursing theorists have been popular in nursing since the days of Florence Nightingale and have continued through to the present. This paper highlights Rosemarie Parse's theory of human becoming as well as Jean Watson's theory of human caring. This is then followed with a discussion of how their theories and philosophies are similar, how their theories are dissimilar and finally what other theories in nursing are related to each of these theories.
From the Paper
"It is considered beyond the scope of the paper to discuss each theorist's theory in detail. Rosemarie Rizzo Parse's theory Rosemarie Parse's theory of human becoming is built on concepts that are considered inter-subjective, relying on an interpersonal environment from which to create meaning and allow for personal growth (Bjorklund, 2000). Parse offered this theory in 1981 as an alternative to the standard bio-medical model emphasized in the 1960s and 1970s (Cody, n.d.). "

Abstract
In this article, the writer explains that evolution is defined as a change in the gene pool of a population from generation to generation by such processes as mutation and natural selection. The writer notes that the topic of human evolution all started when human fossils and remains were discovered from different regions on earth. The writer points out that the availability of new technology even allows the study of the genetic structures of the fossils found, which signifies a more reliable and astonishing breakthrough in defining the start of human evolution. The writer concludes that many of the scientific evidences including that of the anatomical, archaeological and genetic provide a full proof view that modern humans descend from earlier hominid populations or our ape-like ancestors.
From the Paper
"Homo sapiens (about 100,000 years ago) is characterized by large brain size, high forehead, small eyebrow ridges, slender skeleton and upright structure. The Homo sapiens fossil record shows anatomical trends toward decreased bone mass. Their diet was more balanced - it included meat, grains and vegetables. The sapiens' tools were more sophisticated, and incorporated the use of raw materials. Surviving Cro-Magnon artifacts include huts, cave paintings, carvings and antler-tipped spears. The remains of tools suggest that they knew how to make woven clothing (according to a claim by Michael Rappenglueck, of the University of Munich. 2000.). The appearance of Cro-Magnon culture about 40,000 years ago was characterized by fine artwork - beads, ivory carvings, clay figurines, decorated tools and even musical instruments."

Human Rights in England and the ECHR, 2004.

Abstract
This paper compares the decisions of the Divisional Court and the Court of Appeal in R v Ministry of Defence ex parte Smith [1996] 2 WLR 305 with that of the European Court of Human Rights in Lustig-Prean v UK (2000) 29 EHRR 548. It discusses how the different outcomes in these cases can be chiefly explained by the approaches available to the courts in terms of reviewing State policy. It looks at why the test of 'irrationality' employed by the English courts meant that the discriminatory government policy could not be overturned and then examines why the test of 'proportionality' available to the Court of Human Rights allowed a fundamentally different outcome to be reached.
From the Paper
"Having accepted Brown LJ?s assessment regarding the justiciability of the policy, both the Divisional Court and Court of Appeal considered each of the three grounds for the review application: that the policy breached Article 2 of the EC Equal Treatment Directive ; that it breached Article 8 of the European Convention of Human Rights; and that it was ?irrational?. Both English courts shared the view that the word ?sex? in the EC Directive should not be construed as embracing sexual orientation and should, therefore, have a meaning no broader than gender . Had they accepted the applicants? argument, the policy would have been unlawful as it would amount to direct discrimination . In the Divisional Court, Brown LJ emphasised the ?unambiguous? language of the Directive, which plainly refers to discrimination of gender rather than of orientation."

Abstract
This paper discusses "2001:A Space Odyssey" by Arthur C. Clarke and "Lost Horizon" by James Hilton. The writer explains that while the genre of these two books are different, each author works a similar idea - human development - from different points of view.
From the Paper
"In the larger sense, though, the main character is not any individual at all but Mankind, and the novel is the story of human beings from the time of their origin as human beings to the next step in the evolutionary cycle leading past homo sapiens to whatever designation would be given to the superior beings to come. Everything in the story centers on the development of the human race for a higher purpose, and this development is guided by unknown and unidentified extraterrestrials, never seen but implied and symbolized by the monolith appearing first among the prehumans of the African plain, then on the moon, and finally floating in space and serving as the stargate through which Frank Bowman passes on his epic journey, leading to the appearance of the Starchild: "With eyes that already held more than human intentness, the baby stared into the depths of the crystal monolith, seeing--but not yet understanding--the mysteries that lay beyond" (Clarke 233). The people of Shangri-La also seem to represent an advance in evolution, for they have attained great longevity and live more contented lives, as Chang explains when he tells Conway that "the process of retarding age would begin, and if successful, might give Conway half a century or so at the apparent age of forty" (Hilton 182)."

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Both Rosemarie Parse and Jean Watson added important theories to the realm of nursing. This paper examines similarities and differences by critiquing their theories. This paper relates concepts and ideas from these theories which are important to the profession of nursing. Jean Watson created significant philosophies on the idea of caring, while Rosemarie Parse made important contributions to nursing through her theories on human becoming.
From the Paper
"Although seemingly quite different, the theories of Watson and Parse have some notable similarities. Both Watson and Parse has a fundamental view on how nursing should carry itself in its domain. Parse's list of essential practicing of the art of nursing is congruent with Watson's theoretical assertions in her human science theory. While both theorists use verbiage and definitions that can be complex, both theorists are grounded in their beliefs of how individuals experience is bettered by a compassionate way."

Human Cloning, 2004.
This paper discusses the attitudes of scientists toward the ethics of human cloning.
1,550 words (approx. 6.2 pages), 6 sources, MLA, $ 50.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper relates that scientists believe if they have the option to work with an unlimited number of human cells through human cloning, they have resources to attempt new procedures and push the limits of scientific knowledge. The author points out that the power of wholesale manufacture of human tissue is the very heart of the debate because human beings are not automobiles, which can roll off an assembly line at the rate of a few per hour. The paper presents the argument of one scientist who compares human cloning to in vitro fertilization: if the human can be conceived outside of the human conjugal act, then why cannot a human be created completely in a laboratory via cloning?
From the Paper
"The most disturbing acknowledgement Pence makes is that, in his opinion, the whole question of cloning human beings needs to be "Fletcherized." Pence makes this reference to align his viewpoint on cloning with the secular viewpoints of Joseph Fletcher, whose "situation ethics" were successful in devolving religious ethics out of the modern mindset. He was responsible for creating secular degradation three decades ago. While secular society may no be free from the 'regulations and restrictions of religious ethics.' our concern for human live, and perspective that all men and women deserve life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness has also been lost somewhere in the argument."

Abstract
This paper discusses an article about human sexuality that emphasizes an approach to studying the concept of human sexuality and human sexual behavior from the perspective of the social learning theory. The paper also explains and analyzes how the theory is applied to the study of human sexuality and behavior and examines contemporary research that supports this approach.
From the Paper
"Dyrne & Hogben (1999) in their work "Using Social Learning Theory to Explain Individual Differences in Human Sexuality" approach the concept of human sexuality and human sexual behavior from a social learning theory approach. This article is of interest because it presents a new model for exploring human sexuality and the reasons that humans act in a particular manner with regard to sexual behavior." The article analyzed is appended to the paper.
