Abstract
Being a nurse is enjoyable and educative, considering the daily ordeals nurses have to
contend with each day. However, most of these daily ordeals are challenging to a nurse who
has to rely on their experiences, skills, and knowledge to appropriately deal with them. With
the increased diversity in culture, religion, beliefs, and technological advances, nurses have to
be competent to know how to effectively and promptly deal with them to produce positive
health outcomes. Most cultures emphasize the value of family but the different cultures
around the world influence how they approach important issues in life, such as diet and
health. Due to increased interactions globally, most people mix religious and cultural beliefs
in the hope of finding balance in all of them. The result is they agree and disagree with some
dictates of their own cultural affiliation and those of others leading to accommodation and
rejection of cultural and religious beliefs. For example, agreements of religious beliefs have
led to an increase in interfaith marriages where some individuals change their faith to others
while disagreements have led to conflict such as terrorism. However, the increased flexibility
in beliefs has not had a significant effect on changing some negative core beliefs which
greatly affect decision making on crucial healthcare issues. This paper discusses George’s
suffering with emphasis to the fallenness of the world and resurrection, the Christian
worldview on life, and if George’s decision is morally justified.
