dc.description.abstractThe journey through life is one many people never assess until it flashes before their eyes. On the other hand many people dedicate their lives to assessing their journey in life and seldom accomplish anything of real substance. Self-assessment of a personal journey can assist one with future decision-making and reconciling consequences of decisions made. This is my journey of that process. I identify with the Maori population in Aotearoa. It is the assessment of the things I cannot change which interest me: the assessment of an individual journey and the detailing of cultural norms and values: the comparison of a parallel process of those cultural norms found within the bible and the reconciliation of my ethos as a christian, Maori, woman. This is not a traditional piece of work as I do not classify myself as the traditional university student. I am a second chance learner, an adult student who studied on an extramural programme which was facilitated on a local marae. The traditional upbringing which I have experienced has taught me to think holistically in every facet of life. Working in the tertiary education sector I have had to continually translate for myself the traditional Maori holistic worldview into the western individual, scientific, compartmentalized perspective. After this point translation back again into the Maori worldview needs to take place. This process occurs first in the mind and then needs to be written on paper. This process is quite difficult and takes some time to work through. However this is a key factor in choosing to attempt a piece of work that is perhaps not quite in keeping with general expectations. [FROM INTRODUCTION]en_US
