Culture From Cranium
Words: 1704 - Pages: 7.... with success, and some not. For the purposes of this
essay I have chosen to examine one case, which, considering it's sharp
deviation from the cultural context from which it came, was surprisingly
successful. The Oneida Community, in Oneida, New York was a unique
religious communist society in the mid-nineteenth century. The community
was based on the radical religious beliefs, and biblical interpretations of
John Humphrey Noyes.
Noyes grew up in a well to do household in Vermont. He Graduated
from Dartmouth College in 1830 with high honors. Up to that point he had
been cynically agnostic. But in 1831 he attended a revival with his mother .....

Birth Control At Schools
Words: 472 - Pages: 2.... control products and sex education, instead of distributing free condoms.
Passing out free condoms at high schools may have a negative effect on the way young adults view sex. In high school, young adult's emotions and feelings are still very immature; therefore, passing out condoms may be promoting teenagers to have sex. Parents think giving free condoms to children sends mixed messages on what to think about sex education or how to have sex.
Promoting safe sex and distributing free condoms in high schools are great ways to control the rampant spread of sexually transmitted diseases and high levels of teen childbirth. Whether it is a l .....

A Link Between Anxiety And The Performance Of Athletes
Words: 556 - Pages: 3.... Those three definitions now being clarified, another important point that needs to be made is the difference between state and trait anxiety. While state anxiety can be considered to be more situational in nature and is often associated with arousal of the autonomic nervous system. Trait anxiety can be thought of as a world view that in individual uses when coping with situations in his or her environment (Speilberger, 1996). Trait anxiety influences performances in that individuals with high trait anxiety will attend more information related to state anxiety (hardy et al., 1996). Now one of the earliest models that attempted to expla .....

Modern Technology And Medicine
Words: 684 - Pages: 3.... drug Captapril was a
defense against the protein PNP. PNP is an enzyme which takes out the
sugar and nitrogenous substances out of the cells. It then divides the
purine form of the sugar, making it independent and creating or destroying
in order to build more molecules such as DNA. But PNP separates anti-cancer
and other helpful agents , and destroys the therapy provided by those
agents. The goal was to create a drug which could inactivate PNP until
therapy for these agents were complete. A computer was used to create a
model of the protein in order to understand each aspect of this model .
the computers assessed the chemicals which cou .....

The Morality Of Abortion
Words: 1401 - Pages: 6.... and then determine whether they want to give the child up for adoption.
It is a parent's moral responsibility to make sure that the environments which
the child will be brought into will be healthy and supportive. It is a far
greater crime to treat a child poorly for eighteen years then it is to terminate
a fetus that cannot think, feel or is aware of its existence.
On the second point of making the way that conception occurred a non-
factor I am not saying that having the babies of rapists or in cases of incest
is okay. Still, for the argument that abortion is immoral, you must argue that
the action is immoral, not the child. The chi .....

Psychoanalysis
Words: 2224 - Pages: 9.... mind of undesirable thoughts through hypnotic suggestion, but without
lasting success. Josef Breuer, a Viennese physician, achieved better results by
letting Anna O., a young woman patient, try to empty her mind by just telling
him all of her thoughts and feelings.
Freud refined Breuer's method by conceptualizing theories about it and, using
these theories, telling his patients through interpretations what was going on
inside the unconscious part of their minds, thus making the unconscious become
conscious. Many hysterias were cured this way, and in 1895, Breuer and Freud
published their findings and theories in Studies in Hysteria.

Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD)
Words: 2286 - Pages: 9.... gonorrhea is almost always
sexual in nature. It is possible that contaminated fingers can transfer
infection from one region of the body to another, however, this is highly
unlikely because the bacteria dies rapidly when demed the warmth and moisture of
mucous membranes.
Symtoms of infection usually appear within two to ten days after
exposure but might take up to thirty days.
In males, gonorhea usually strikes first at the urethra, the
tube that extends from the bladder to the tip of the penis. A burning sensation
during urination may be experienced due to the irritation of the urethra's
mucosal lining. Many males may also notice and .....

unwanted child is very young and inexperienced or too poor to take care of
the child. The child is usually malnourished, has no medical care, and
gets very little attention or love. The foster care system isn't any
better. Only a small percentage of the children are adopted by suitable
parents. But the rest remain in the foster care system, where there is
little or no personal care. In both cases, the child has a poor education
because of the lack of attention and discipline. He grows up to be
unproductive individual or a menace to society. Many get involved in drugs
and crimes. These individuals are also very violent, lackin .....

Different Life Crises Have Different Impacts

. In many cases, however, it may be possible to anticipate crises and prepare for them. It may also be useful to recognize the impact of crises that have occurred so that one can take account of them appropriately. Holmes and Rahe with the Social Readjustment Scale have done some very interesting work in this area. This allocates a number of “Life Crisis Units” to different eve .....

The Plague
Words: 577 - Pages: 3.... people in the United States
occurred in 1924 in Los Angeles. In that epidemic there were 32 cases of
pneumonic plague with 31 fatalities. Since then there have been around 16 cases
a year in the United States, most connected with rock squirrels and its common
flea Oropsylla montana.
The most dangerous type of plague is pneumonic. It can be spread through aerosol
droplets released through coughs, sneezes, or through fluid contact. It may also
become a secondary result of a case of untreated bubonic or septicemic plague.
Although not as common as the bubonic strain, it is more deadly. It has an
untreated mortality rate on nearly 100%, as co .....
