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
The paper presents an overview of the central concepts of nursing by numerous nursing theorists. The paper focuses on the theories of Orem, Watson and Parse. The paper points out that a single nursing theorist is usually insufficient for addressing complex patient needs and diverse situations.
From the Paper
"Nursing theorists provide the entire foundation of nursing knowledge, and their theoretical frameworks offer an approach and guide to nursing. Every nursing theorist uses four metaparadigm concepts or common themes of nursing: person, health, environment, and nursing. All nursing theories reflect the metaparadigm concepts of nursing as well as a holistic view. Along with skills, nurses use these paradigmatic concepts to gain a holistic perspective which focuses on nursing as a discipline and science rather than on other disciplines such as biomedicine (Arslanian-Engoren & Hicks, 2005)."

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."

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 explains that numerous theories on personality exist, and all serve a purpose to help understand the complexities of personality. Social workers, psychiatrists, therapists, psychologists, and many other professionals utilize the theories of personality to help understand their clients. This research outlines the predominant theories that exist and give an understanding of personality. While no one theory can be proven or disproved, thus giving it the title theory, all theories on personality have qualities that are similar to one another. The paper discusses the most predominant theories, which include the psychoanalytic perspective, the humanistic perspective, the trait perspective, and the social-cognitive perspective.
From the Paper
"Sigmund Freud laid the foundation of the psychoanalytic theory of personality. ?Freud was born in Freiberg (now Pr?bor, Czech Republic), on May 6, 1856, and educated at Vienna University. When he was three years old his family, fleeing from the anti-Semitic riots then raging in Freiberg, moved to Leipzig. Shortly thereafter, the family settled in Vienna, where Freud remained for most of his life? (Microsoft Encarta Encyclopedia 2002). Freud began to pursue his medical degree which led him to become very curious about neurological activities. Through his studies he began to believe that the cause of many behaviors was psychological as opposed to physiological. Thus, he began the creation of his psychoanalytic theory which would become well-known and respected by many."

Abstract
Critical race theorists such as Anthony Appiah, Michael Omi, and Howard Winant differ with post-colonial theorists such as Edward Said and Homi Bhabha with respect to how they understand racial formation in a post-colonial context. Subsequently, while critical race theory and post-colonial theory both challenge the Eurocentrism of classical and contemporary social theory, they offer different interpretations regarding the process and impact of racial formation. This paper examines the differences in these two theories' approach to understanding racial formation in a post-colonial context.
From the Paper
"Historically, critical race theory can be considered a product of the development of African-American thought in the post-civil rights era, and challenges the traditional philosophical tenets of the liberal civil rights movement, which promoted a colorblind approach to achieving social justice. "

Abstract
Social theorists have long discussed and analyzed the impacts of social change and the effects it has had through social and personal experiences. They focus on the strategies and techniques that help to explain human behavior, including the influences of family, beliefs, society, etc. This paper discusses the viewpoints on those social issues emphasized by Marx, Durkheim, and Freud. Their theories are not only unique from one another, but convincing in their own entities.
From the Paper
"Marx believed that alienation revealed the human activity that lies behind impersonal forces that dominate society. Alternation isn?t rooted in the mind, but in fact something rooted from the material world. This would prove ones loss of control, especially the loss of control over labor. ?The alienation of the object of labor merely summarized the alienation in the work itself.? (pg. 124) Mans resources have been stripped from him; therefore, he cannot live freely. To alienate nature from man means his own existence is out of his hands. The loss of mans resources was the beginning of capitalism and social class struggles. These class struggles were the primary source of historical change and conflict. Class struggle would be considered the norm within a capitalist society, and brought about through the system. He believed that the working class (proletarians) must overcome false consciousness in order to be transformed from a class in itself to a class for itself because ?the more the worker produces the less he has to consume, the more the work manifests intelligence the more the worker declines in intelligence and becomes a slave in nature?. (pg. 124)"

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Human beings and their personalities have been the subject of psychological interest for hundreds of years. In this paper, I will talk about my personality and the way that I was raised, and I will do it in the context of personality theories from several different theorists. Many different theorists have been involved in the study of personality, and they have come up with theories as different and varied as the people that created them. These theories have some similarities, but also contain many differences. This is largely because all of the psychologists who have proposed these theories have some of the same ideas and opinions about personality. They also have personalities and opinions of their own, and these affect the way they look at things as well as the perceptions of their subjects and their personalities and attributes. There is no way to take a person's individual personality out of his or her thoughts, feelings, and opinions, and this is also true of psychologists."

Social Contract Theorists, 2004.
Discusses the social contract theories of Locke and Rousseau.

Abstract
This paper outlines the social contract theories of John Locke and Jean Jacques Rousseau and compares both in the light of their arguments that human nature has an influence on political rights.
From the Paper
"The development of political systems and laws directly depends on the beliefs of the people who endeavor to create a suitable system. The inclusion of beliefs in natural law and natural rights is something that people might choose to carry out or avoid. The belief in these rights and their application to social justice has come down to contemporary man through individuals such as John Locke and Jean Jacques Rousseau. Though the origin of their ideas vary considerably, they both end up creating a system for political structuring that is practical and aims at aiding all members of society. It is thanks to their beliefs in natural rights and natural law that the contemporary world has succeeded to a certain extent in making life for members of society better."

Abstract
The paper discusses the beliefs of Karl Marx, Emile Durkheim and Max Weber. The paper relates that Karl Marx was the founder of the conflict theory that proposed that competition among persons and groups for wealth and power is the basic process of a social structure. The paper looks at Emile Durkheim who developed the functionalist theory and established sociology as a quantitative, academic social science. Finally, the paper examines the works of Max Weber who contended that what was good for the bureaucracy was not always good for the society as a whole.
From the Paper
"We are basically social beings in that most of our activities are interactions with other people (Jones 2003). What happens in those interactions is, therefore, of utmost importance to all who are interested in human life. Sociologists have endeavored to explain social facts according to theoretical frameworks, each with a particular way of viewing the world and the different aspects of society (Lambert 1998). These views explore the ways of society and provide a more universal grasp of social life. Sociologists have proposed to categorize these perspectives broadly into conflict, rational/utilitarian, and micro-interactionist thoughts (Lambert). Most of the early sociological commentators maintained a view, characterized by consensus."
