Review of the Superior Man in Confucianism

  • “The gentleman, according to Confucius is simply a man of virtue. Confucius’s teachings explained the characteristics of a gentleman as a superior man, a man at his best, and a portrayer of authentic manhood. Meaning is added to the relationship between human beings referred to as Jen [human heartedness, goodness] by Confucius by incorporating the idealness of the terms of human relationships (Chun-Tzu, Junzi) [A Chun-Tzu, also spelled Junzi, is an ideal man in society]. Confucius states that there are five major characteristics that make up a true gentleman which are humility, sincerity, graciousness, magnanimity, and diligence” (Singleton, Andy). Full Reference below. 
  • Questions

What do you think of Confucius’ ideal man, the Chun-Tzu? Do you think it is possible to be an ideal man in today’s society?

Do you think that Confucian teachings are still relevant in the 21st century?

Introductory Speech Using an Object

/0 Comments/in /by

QUESTION

I have to write an introductory speech for my oral communications class, and I’m struggling to figure out a good and impactful way to use an object I already own. This is the directions for my assignment: ” In preparation for this speech, students need to select an object that represents a significant aspect of their background, personality, values, ambitions, etc.

Using the chosen object as a point of departure, each student should develop a speech that explains how it relates to her or his life.

    • For example, a journalism major might select a newspaper as a way to explain her or his professional goals.
    • A new father might select a child’s toy as a vehicle for discussing his experiences as a parent.
    • An avid tennis player might settle on a tennis racket to illustrate her passion for the sport.
    • If possible, students should show the object (within your speech introduction) during their presentation.
    • The purpose of this speech is not to explain the object in detail, but to use it as a vehicle for the speaker to introduce themselves to the class.
    • This speech is not the adult version of “show and tell” we may recall from our early childhood.
    • Also, please do not use your speech to serve as a kind of list of accomplishments or as a resume of personal accomplishments.”

QUESTION

For this discussion board, I would like you to reflect on the following questions:

Share with your colleagues an experience you’ve had at a museum that either inspired or disappointed you.  This can be a history museum, art museum, children’s museum – any place you’ve gone that has illicited a response from you.

Now, thinking about Nina Simon’s Tedx talk and readings from the book The Participatory Museum, brainstorm at least 2 ways the experience you have might have been improved or changed by incorporating some of Simon’s ideas about opening up museums and giving guests the “right tools” to interact with the museum exhibit.  If you were inspired by a museum experience, reflect on the ways Simon’s ideas were incorporated into your experience.

Next, drawing on your readings from Wallace’s book and your experiences, describe how museums became places of exclusion and pretension?   Was this their original purpose?  How and why has this changed?

Finally, round out your discussion by sharing with the class 2 or 3 cultural institutions you’re considering for your final project, where you will be designing your own museum education/outreach program.  What attracts you to these places?  Is there are specific collection you’re interested in working with?  (You can use any local, state, or national institution that has collections and exhibits available in an online format!)

QUESTION

The popularity of healthcare consumer self-monitoring is rising due to the availability of numerous low-cost or free health and wellness apps, which do not require a prescription and are accessible via smartphone and tablet app stores like Apple and Google Play. However, the effectiveness of these apps is uncertain since many are not approved by the Federal Drug Administration (FDA). These apps and accompanying wearable devices (Apple Watch, Fitbit, Galaxy Watch, etc.) help users track various health metrics such as sleep quality, calorie expenditure, and physical activity. Additionally, these technologies often feature social components that allow users to share and compare their health progress with others.

Discuss the implications of this trend for nursing informatics and patient care. How can nurses integrate this self-monitored data into patient care plans effectively, considering the FDA has not approved many of these apps, which might affect their reliability and value? Evaluate the potential benefits and drawbacks of patients using such apps and devices to monitor aspects like sleep quality, calories burned, and body activity. How do patients and healthcare providers know this information is accurate? Additionally, consider the social aspects of these technologies, such as sharing and comparing progress with others. How can nurses ensure the ethical use of this data while also encouraging patient engagement and maintaining privacy and accuracy?
