RELATIONSHIPS COME IN MANY FORMS

                                                         

                  Ethos Values Standards



  
·        
Ethos: the guiding beliefs of a person, group, or organization (“Merriam-Webster Dictionary,” 1828). Policy grounded on honesty clenches groups to an extra powerful standard. Passivity surrounds the invasion of lawful approvals. However, administrative honesty is grounded on the notion of self-regulation in agreement with a set of governing philosophies (Paine, 1994). Who said honesty was the best policy? Oh yes, that was MAMA. Well, this Harvard writer says that Mama was right.  We strive to be transparent but in that transparency, we need to have integrity at our core especially when we are with patients who are at risk for vulnerability. 

Values:  Quality that gives something special worth <defending the democratic system's intrinsic values(“Merriam-Webster Dictionary,” 1828). Expressing values are actions that can be influential in the workplace and especially in a system organization. Bond reports in an empirical study that values do have dissimilarities based on our culture(Bond, 2016). We see this from one patient to the next. Regardless of the dissimilarities of personal values, these values determine individuality and the core of being. To infringe on the values of a patient would be disrespectful even if you have an opposite point of view. Values of an organization should be consistent.
 
Standards: Something set up or established by an authority as a rule for the measure of quantity, weight, extent, value, or quality(“Merriam-Webster Dictionary,” 1828). Employee retention has a direct effect on how an organization qualifies social and cultural coordination (Rasidah Arshad, 2016). The employees culture has a significant effect on how relationships work as a standard. The values, especially cultural values play a tremendous role in the relationship of ethos and standards.
 

The review considers all cultures have different Ethos Values Standards. 

In forming a relationship for a program, one must evaluate all three of these elements to see which makes the most sense for the benefit of the whole group and not just an individual.

Advanced Professional Seminar

CREATIVE PRACTICE 1


The Skloot interview brought about new awareness and questions to ponder. While a thousand attempts were made to reproduce the human cell and failed what made Henrietta Lacks different? The discussion regarding the birth of the Hepatitis vaccine formed from the blood of a person with hemophilia also was intriguing as I am a recipient of that vaccine. After reviewing both of these cases, I started thinking about red blood cells and liver functions and began drawing red circles to represent cells. My cells grew into a cluster of grapes. However, Henrietta Lacks cells may one day grow into a cure for cancer.
