Target Audience This continuing education course has been designed to meet the educational needs of massage therapists. Degree of Difficulty Beginner/Entry Level Course Description This course will address a variety of ethical issues that might arise in the course of a Massage Therapist’s career. Therapists will review ethical standards for massage therapy, and an outline of appropriate roles and boundaries in a massage therapy are provided. Educational Objectives Upon completion of this home study continuing education course, the massage practitioner should be able to: Define Ethical boundaries as it applies to massage therapy. Identify proper strategies for ethical problem solving. 3 Section 1: Massage Therapy Roles and Boundaries Chapter 1: An ethics primer This is an ethics course written specifically for massage therapists, so as you would expect we are going to spend quite a bit of time discussing the usual ethical issues and quandaries that one might expect in bodywork, specifically roles and boundaries, massage advertising, business practices, draping, sexual misconduct and all that stuff. Don’t worry. We’ll get there. But first we need to review the basics. Remember when you first started learning anatomy in massage school? The first thing you should have been taught is basic anatomical vocabulary. In order to learn the names, locations and functions of the muscles you first had to learn what words like “superior, inferior, and medial” meant. Before you learned how to do the various strokes and techniques you were taught the words “effeurage, petrissage, and tapotement”. Without the words and their definitions the hands on lessons couldn’t be taught. In all disciplines there is a foundation that must be laid before you can build a body of knowledge. Ethics is no different, but unfortunately massage schools treat it like it is. For some reason massage schools tend to think that they can teach lessons on “ethics for massage therapists” without covering the basics of what ethics actually are-including the language used in making ethical decisions and rational thought. I don’t want to just give you a long list of dos and don’ts for massage therapy and a rehash of the Standards of Practice. A simple Internet search for “ massage therapist arrested… ” should convince you that the standard teaching of ethics for massage therapists is not quite getting the job done 1. That being said, we are going to go a bit deeper into what ethics are really all about. 1 About 1,610,000 results on Google this afternoon for “massage therapist arrested”. Yes. One and a half million . 4 A basic ethics vocabulary The following theories and concepts (presented in alphabetical order for convenience) cover the basics of the study of ethics in western society. Absolutism, moral Moral absolutism is an ethical view that certain actions are absolutely right or absolutely wrong , regardless of other circumstances such as their consequences or the intentions behind them 2. Prostitution, for example, might be considered to be always immoral, even if the woman doing it believes she has a good reason (resorting to prostitution to buy food for her children). Moral absolutism stands in contrast to other categories of normative ethical theories such as consequentialism, which holds that the morality (right or wrong) of an act depends on the consequences of the act and relativism, which means that moral principles gain their validity through approval by the culture or the individual. Act-intuitionism This is a theory of ethics that states that we should consult our moral intuition (conscience) in every situation to discover the morally right thing to do. Jiminy Cricket would approve. Action-based theory This theory, brought to you by Immanuel Kant, one of the most influential men in the history of Western philosophy, is based on the idea that we should act properly by following moral rules, and we can judge other people based on how they act , not on whether they are “virtuous people.” In case the underlining wasn’t obvious enough, this theory is most concerned with how we act. Actual duty Duty theories base morality on specific, foundational principles of obligation. These theories are sometimes called deontological, from the Greek word deon, or duty, in view of the foundational nature of our duty or obligation 3. 2 Pojman, L. P. : A Defense of Ethical Objectivism 3 Samuel Pufendorf, De officio hominis et civis juxta legem naturalem (1673), tr., The Whole Duty of Man according to the Law of Nature (London, 1691). 5 In the case of actual duty , it means that when you have two duties that are in conflict, the stronger one overrides the weaker one and that is the one you should do. For example, if you work in a spa you have a duty to massage clients for your employer. If a client is on the schedule for you to massage and they inform you that they have DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis), which contraindicates massage, you also have a duty to protect the client by not doing the massage. Both of these are your duties, but protecting the client is a stronger duty-so it overrides the other one, that is your actual duty. Act-utilitarianism Act utilitarianism is a theory of ethics that states that a person's act is morally right if and only if it produces at least as much happiness as any other act that the person could perform at that time 4. To understand how this might apply to you, imagine that someone asks you to donate your time doing chair massages at an event to raise awareness for cancer patients. Unfortunately the event is scheduled for your day off, and you were going to spend that day watching reruns of old TV shows on Netflix, because that is what makes you happy. So you have a choice, stay at home and make yourself happy, or work the charity event and probably make a lot of people happy. According to act utilitarianism theory, the morally right thing to do is the charity event, because that is the act that will generate the most happiness. Agapeism Agapism is the belief that selfless love (or "agape") should be the ultimate value and that all other values are derived from it, or in other words, love is the most important thing. Theological agapism holds that our love of God is expressed by loving each other. In ethical arguments, agapism tells us that we should do the most loving thing in any situation, letting love determine our obligation rather than rules. Sweet, right? Altruism Altruism is the opposite of selfishness. It is the principle of concern for the welfare of others. Pure altruism consists of sacrificing something for someone other than yourself (sacrificing time, money, energy or 4 Lyons, David. Forms and Limits of Utilitarianism . Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1965, p. vii. 6 possessions) with no expectation of any compensation or benefits, either direct, or indirect (e.g., receiving recognition for the act of giving). In ethics, altruism can refer to an ethical doctrine that claims that individuals are morally obliged to benefit others. Used in this sense, it is usually contrasted with egoism , which is defined as acting to the benefit of one's self. We’ll talk about the fun of egoism later. Antirealism, moral Anti-realism is used to describe any position involving either the denial of an objective reality or the denial that verification-transcendent statements are either true or false. In the context of this ethics course, it is the belief that there are no moral facts . Applied ethics This is a specific branch of ethics that deal with the thorny issues of our time, like abortion, cloning, premarital sex, capital punishment, euthanasia (assisted suicide), and civil disobedience. Thankfully, we will not be dealing with it in this course, even though it kind of sounds like the title. Autonomy This one is particularly relevant to us as massage therapists because it is one of the four key principles that our Standards of Practice is based on, and a core concept in medical ethics. We will be talking about it in the next chapter. It is from the Greek for “selfrule,” self-directed freedom. Cardinal virtues Once upon a time there was a man named Plato who just happened to live in ancient Greece at a time when ancient Greece wasn’t doing too well.

  • The Return of the Prodigal Son
    Scripta Neophilologica Posnaniensia. Tom XVII, strony: 103–116 Wydział Neofilologii, Uniwersytet im. Adama Mickiewicza w Poznaniu, 2017 DOI 10.7169/snp.2017.17.07 THE RETURN OF THE PRODIGAL SON CAMIEL HAMANS Introduction Somewhere between 1811 and 1819 Rev. Stephanus Hanewinckel (1766–1856) translated the Parable of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15: 11–32) into the dialect of the Meijerij, a region in the eastern part of the Dutch province of North Brabant, not far from the city of ‘s-Hertogenbosch. Hanewinckel who was a minister and then held an incumbency in the villages of Warns and Scharn in Friesland, the northern part of the Netherlands far away from the southern province of North Brabant, became known in the Dutch literature because of his anti-papist travelogues about the region of the Meijerij, where has was born and to where he returned later in his life (Meijneke, 2009; Hamans, 2012). In his travelogues of 1798 and 1799 Hanewickel also showed a certain interest in the dialects of this region. In these books he published three word lists containing dialect forms and their Dutch equivalents. In a forth word list he collected High German words which were used as loanwords in the dialects of the Meijerij. In addi- tion, he commented upon the different dialects of the region and its neighbouring regions, compared the difference between dialects, offered dialect expressions, quot- ed special jargons and produced etymologies of place names incidentally. Although Hanewinckel is not very positive about the qualities of the dialects of the Meijerij, he nevertheless translated the Parable of the Prodigal Son into his na- tive dialect.

    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 053 136 TE 002 527 AUTHOR Dillard, J.L. TITLE Black English in New York. PUB DATE Apr 71 NOTE 7p. JOURNAL CIT English Record; v21 n4 p114-120 Apr 1971 EDRS PRICE EDRS Price MF -$O.65 HC-$3.29 DESCRIPTORS African Languages, *English, *Language Development, *Negro Culture, Negro History, *Nonstandard Dialects, *Tenl ABSTRACT Black English has existed for a considerable length of time in the North as well as in the South. West African slaves who came to New York in 1625 found a contact language useful and mandatory in order to function in the slave community. The earliest slaves in the New York area may have used Pidgin English, Pidgin Portuguese, or Pidgin French along with their own dialects for a language of wider communication. There are many reasons why Pidgin English would have been the most useful of these closely related languages. Dutch Creoles were very prominent in this early period, and their patois bears a strong resemblance to Pidgin English. Except for a few writers, no one had looked at the language of Black people in Northern cities until the 1960's. It is hoped that a sensible attitude toward Black English, a language with a long and honorable historical background, will be incorporated into the resultant efforts.(CK) U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH.

  • Apperception and Linguistic Contact Between German and Afrikaans By
    Apperception and Linguistic Contact between German and Afrikaans By Jeremy Bergerson A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in German in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Irmengard Rauch, Co-Chair Professor Thomas Shannon, Co-Chair Professor John Lindow Assistant Professor Jeroen Dewulf Spring 2011 1 Abstract Apperception and Linguistic Contact between German and Afrikaans by Jeremy Bergerson Doctor of Philosophy in German University of California, Berkeley Proffs. Irmengard Rauch & Thomas Shannon, Co-Chairs Speakers of German and Afrikaans have been interacting with one another in Southern Africa for over three hundred and fifty years. In this study, the linguistic results of this intra- Germanic contact are addressed and divided into two sections: 1) the influence of German (both Low and High German) on Cape Dutch/Afrikaans in the years 1652–1810; and 2) the influence of Afrikaans on Namibian German in the years 1840–present. The focus here has been on the lexicon, since lexemes are the first items to be borrowed in contact situations, though other grammatical borrowings come under scrutiny as well. The guiding principle of this line of inquiry is how the cognitive phenonemon of Herbartian apperception, or, Peircean abduction, has driven the bulk of the borrowings between the languages. Apperception is, simply put, the act of identifying a new perception as analogous to a previously existing one. The following central example to this dissertation will serve to illustrate this. When Dutch, Low German, and Malay speakers were all in contact in Capetown in the 1600 and 1700s, there were three mostly homophonous and synonymous words they were using.

  • How the Dutch Language Got Disseminated Into the World
    国際政経論集(二松學舍大学)第 25 号,2019 年3月 View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE (ARTICLES) How the Dutch Language Got Disseminated into the World Masako Nishikawa-Van Eester 西川(ヴァンエーステル)雅子 Samenvatting Dit artikel exploreert hoe het Nederlands verspreid werd in de wereld en welke invloed het had op de wereldgeschiedenis in het algemeen en op Japan in het bijzonder. Gedurende een zekere tijd waren Nederlands en Chinees de enige informatiekanalen aangaande de buitenwereld in Japan. Nederlands lag mee aan de basis van de modernisering van Japan in de 19de eeuw. De Nederlandse tolken/vertalers van toen werden opgevolgd door zij die Engels studeerden en die Japan verder op weg zetten om een moderne staat te worden. Verder werd Nederlands wereldwijd verspreid door de VOC (“Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie”). Vandaag nog zien we de overblijfselen daarvan in Suriname (Zuid-Amerika), Indonesië (Azië) en Zuid-Afrika (Afrika). De Nederlandse taal heeft duidelijk zijn steentje bijgedragen in het vormen van onze moderne samenleving. Abstract This article explores how the Dutch language spread into the world and how this fact influenced the world history thereafter, including the history of Japan. There was a period in Japan when Dutch and Chinese were the only information channels for the outer world. Dutch has given great influence on the dawn of the Japanese modernization in the 19th century. The Dutch translators/interpreters were succeeded by the English learners, who have propelled the development of Japan as a modern nation. Also, through the VOC, the East India Company, the Dutch language has spread its power and influence all over the world, and even today we see its remnants in Suriname in South America, Indonesia in Asia, and South Africa in Africa.

    Tantric Massage Dear Lover, I am Mariah, your Sex Coach and co-founder of Beducated. If you’re reading this, that means you’re taking a step into exploring sexuality. Welcome to this amazing journey! For me, sexuality is a part of self-development. However, sadly, it is often neglected because of how taboo the topic is. Many don’t dare to cross this line that society has drawn and prefer to feel around in the dark when it comes to sex. I’ve been there, too. My sex life has been quite “meh” for years, and, honestly, I was not sure if there was anything I could do about it. But I couldn’t keep still, I wanted to know more, I wanted to feel in control of my sexual self. © beducated.com Check Out the Tantric Massage Video Course » So, I went out there. I expanded my horizons by traveling across the world and taking classes, seminars, and workshops on sexuality. Through my explorations I found so much power in my body, I couldn’t help but feel awakened. And now I am here to pass on the message to you. And the message is: Massage. I am aware, it sounds a bit woowoo, Sexual happiness is trainable. but bear with me here. It’s nothing more that mindful sex practice. And don’t we all want to Yes, that is absolutely true. It’s not something be at least a little bit more mindful these days? you’re born with, not something you “just know” Believe me, sex is a wonderful place to start.
