A Study of Spirituality in Relationship with Perceived Happiness Status, Perceived Health Status and Academic Achievement among Adolescents

Adolescence is a sensitive period of life which is accompanied by a series of biological, psychological, and cognitive changes in an individual. This age of confusion and immaturity predisposes individuals towards risky behaviour like alcohol/drug abuse, violence, sexual experimentation etc. The Mental Health Foundation (2009) enlisted various protective factors for adolescents that can help in keeping them safe from risky behaviour. These were: spirituality, social support, parental support, meaningful relationships, constructive hobbies etc. Spirituality is a relationship of an individual with the Divine, with oneself and with others. Houston and Cartwright (2007) defined spirituality using four components. The first was a belief in transcendence, something higher than oneself. The second was interconnectedness, which meant the sense of unification with all living beings. The third component was a feeling of love and compassion for others. Fourth component included a sense of purpose and meaning in life. Spirituality has been consistently linked with happiness, better health outcomes and general feelings of wellbeing among adolescents. The present study aimed to investigate the relationship of spirituality with perceived happiness status, perceived health status, and academic achievement among adolescents. A sample of 100 adolescents (50 males and 50 females) in the age range of 16 and 18 years was included in the study. Inter correlation Analysis was conducted to find the relationship between the variables. In order to find out differences between two groups viz. males and females, t tests were employed. Results showed a significant relationship between spirituality, perceived happiness status and academic achievement of adolescents. This study highlighted the importance of spirituality, and how it can be meaningful not only in the emotional and psychological domain, but the cognitive domain as well.

The Age of Confusion: Why So Many Teens are Getting Pregnant, Turning to Welfare and Ending Up Homeless

Abstract The ongoing debate over the flaws in the nation's welfare system centers primarily on two highly charged social ills: teen-age pregnancy and long-term dependence on public assistance. For the poorest and fastest growing segment of the welfare population—homeless mothers—these problems are both severe and inextricably linked. At an alarmingly young age, these women are becoming trapped in a chaotic cycle that offers little structure and few alternatives.

Political Languages In Later Medieval Europe

Certain aspects of both major and minor political writings in later medieval Europe remain intrinsically puzzling. Michael Wilks, in his seminal work on the ‘Problem of Sovereignty’ in this period called the later medieval and early modern epochs an ‘age of confusion’. One problem may be summed up as (1) What difference did Aristotle make? Ullmann argued that Aristotle made it possible to construct a plausible case for ‘the ascending’ (that is, quasi-democratic) view of authority. In that case, as Wilks persistently enquires: Why did defenders of papal monarchy make such free, prolific use of Aristotle?

Nuclear physics today and in Rutherford’s day

I have entitled, this lecture ‘Nuclear physics today and in Rutherford’s day’ but it must be made clear at the outset that what I am taking as nuclear physics today is high energy particle physics rather than the study of nuclear structure and what I am defining as Rutherford’s day is the period 1929-1937 during which I had direct personal contact with him. This autumnal period of his career was a golden one. It marked the end of an era while at the same time containing already the seeds of change which led to the remarkable expansion of the subject in the postwar epoch. The period begins only three years after the discovery of the equations of wave mechanics which brought to an end perhaps the darkest age of confusion to beset the development of physical science, a time when one kind of experiment seemed to prove positively that light was a wave motion and another that it was with equal certainty a stream of particles. The new mechanics and its influence on atomic physics was still in its early stage but its appearance initiated, on a sound exploitable basis, the first phase in the development of the study of atomic structure. It became possible to investigate and interpret in detail the electron distributions in atoms, their relations to atomic and molecular properties and thence to the properties of matter in bulk. The Cavendish Laboratory in 1929 was, however, already concentrating attention on the exploration of the atomic nucleus, research designed to carry the study of the structure of matter to a second phase. This was Rutherford’s prime interest.

Our Responsibility as Nurses to Our Profession

IN thinking about the subject of this paper, I was impelled to reframe the title that we might think together in the first rather than in the third person. "Our Responsibility as Nurses to our Profession" makes us partners in whatever we may enjoy of success or whatever we may have to face in the light of failure. You and I are "the nurses" to which we are wont to refer, and it is we who must share the joys, shoulder the burdens, and assume the responsibilities which are thrust upon ourselves and our professional colleagues. We no longer are a little band of sisters following Saint Vincent de Paul, but a great army of professional women scattered throughout the world, still holding sacredly to the ideals of service which motivated the works of mercy and love of the earliest of our leaders. We are members of one vast sisterhood united by tangible bonds of human service woven in and out of every phase of life; a great body of professional women now bound together by the broad ultimate objectives of our nursing associations. When we are assembled at one of our biennial conventions, we are conscious of a oneness of spirit; we are at home with each other for the reason that we are a family and feel a sisterly relationship. Our experiences, though different in many respects, have been similar, and we understand the language of life in joy, in sorrow, and even in death. As nurses we live with human beings in life's varied experiences and share with them the trials and vicissitudes of life, with their resulting disciplines. Nursing is intrinsically interpreted through the story of the Good Samaritan and through the teachings of Him who charged His disciples to minister unto all those who called upon them for help. In this age of confusion, in the midst of scattered and irresponsible thinking, we seem not to remember that the profession of nursing is different from that of many other vocations, and that its problems, which are never static, cannot be solved by similar arbitrary and mechanical means. Consequently, nurses cannot endeavor to meet these problems according to a definite standardized pattern. Our responsibilities change as life changes with us. As we grow older we are prone to act in given situations in accord with familiar patterns of behavior, forgetting that to meet life's changes we must learn a series of new responses in place of those which have lost their value and often even their usefulness. It is never safe to assume that what has been must always continue to be. The youth of today is born into a world different from that of many of us who are attempting to mold their professional lives and dictate the pattern they are to follow. After groping and deep heart-searching we have found it wise to discard, one after another, certain of our cherished traditions because they cannot be accepted by our colleagues of
