Introduction

Substance abuse is one of the current issues in social welfare. As a social problem, substance abuse makes it hard for individuals to realize their full potential. It refers to the dangerous use of psychoactive substances such as illicit drugs, tobacco, and alcohol. Individuals abuse these substances for complicated and varied reasons. The abuse of psychoactive substances can result in dependence syndrome. The individuals who suffer from the substance abuse problem have a strong desire to take the substances mentioned above, difficulties in controlling their use and increased tolerance. For long, the social workers have worked with individuals, who Continue reading...

Abstract

Violence between partners is a significant cause for medical treatment and injuries. Often these injuries are seen in the emergency room or they may be hidden from a medical profession. Nurses need to be aware of such injuries, not only in identifying them but having understanding of why they occur. Partner violence occurs between partners who are married, living together or intimately involved. The violence knows no gender or sexual orientation boundaries. The violence can take any form: of man on man; man on woman; woman on woman and woman on man. Stereotypes must be ignored and sensitivity needs Continue reading...

The issue of child sexual abuse has become the common place in the society. The emotional trauma of the experience impacts the child more often than not. A child should have childhood memories of happiness and laughter, but this is not a reality for many children as their past comes in horrifying torrents that create suffering many children. These children today suffer at the hands of the cruel adults who they know, but cannot avoid and this increases the trauma in the sexual abuse. The tears and the heartrending silence form the foundation of many childhood memories because childhood Continue reading...

Poverty, crime, racism, sexism, and corruption are some of the problems that exist globally and that have persisted despite all our technological and cultural advancement. Domestic violence is another one of these problems and is a very serious concern because of the parties involved in it and its nature. Fundamentally this problem exists at the level of households and families and these are the basic building blocks of a society. If the basic building blocks are faulty the whole structure of the society is at risk. On an individual level domestic violence can lead to horrendous results and this Continue reading...

Abstract
It has long been the case that one in four American women will suffer domestic violence in their lifetime. There can be little doubt that America is suffering from an epidemic of violence within intimate relationships, but what is being done to reduce those figures? One theory is that men who are found guilty of abuse need to receive therapy and counseling that helps retrain them, Continue reading...

INVOLUNTARY STERILIZATION

Abstract
Sterilization includes the administration of the surgical contraception methods like vasectomy, hysterectomy, and tubal litigation to limit a person’s capacity to have children. There are several forms of sterilization namely voluntary, involuntary, and compulsory. Compulsory sterilization is required by the law while voluntary sterilization occurs when a person intentionally agrees to undergo the process. Involuntary sterilization occurs when a person lacks the capacity to consent to the sterilization procedure. However, this paper will identify whether involuntary sterilization should be used to reduce child abuse cases in the U.S and whether the government should fund the procedures as Continue reading...

Introduction

In the early researches, scientists suggest that the consumption of alcohol decreases with age. It means the number of non-drinkers in a generation is increasing with age (Lader & Steel, 2009). Their main reason is that older people tend to change their lifestyles due to their health condition. Some people choose not to drink due to their illness or they feel that they could not drink anymore (Moore & Beck, 2002). However, there is an emerging issue that older people nowadays are relatively heavier drinkers than the younger generations. For example in England, it is estimated that there are about 1.4 Continue reading...

Since the 1980’s, we have been fighting what has been coined the War on Drugs in America. Drug sales and addiction have reached into the big cities and the rural country areas. No one is immune from the effect of drugs, as people either suffer from an addiction or know someone who has. Many people are familiar with drugs such as cocaine, heroin and marijuana; although these drugs are still an issue there is a change in what drugs are popular that is affecting our country. More people are becoming addicted to prescription drugs due to the wide Continue reading...

Five research articles have been explored with the aim of identifying their purpose of study and the sampling technique used. While analyzing various sampling techniques applied during the research as well as data presentation, the effectiveness of the selected method in exposing the confounding facts to the audience were also considered. The first article considered during the study was from the journal of “Substance Abuse: Research and Treatment”. The article was about identifying whether the effects of drug abuse are among contributing factors that lead to harmful suicide attempts that could result into suicide completion (da Silveira 2014).

Abstract

Most countries in the world have placed a legal age before which young people cannot drink so as to ensure that they are wiser, smarter and more in control of their emotions and self control before they start consuming alcohol. Usually this age is 21, like in the United States of America. However, it is also a known fact that almost everyone who drinks has had a drink before the legal age by the help of any illegal source. This shows the inclination towards alcohol from a very young age. This inclination can be harmful, as the number of Continue reading...

Abstract

This study investigates the approaches employed in the treatment and biopsychology of alcoholism. The introduction section attempts to distinguish alcohol abuse from alcohol dependence in order to increase the understanding of alcoholism. The paper then focuses on alcohol dependence, which is synonymous with alcoholism. It explains that alcoholism is a manifestation of certain underlying traits that include genetic predispositions. Further, alcohol dependence is linked to particular conditions such as anxiety and depression. Under the methodology of biopsychology, the study explains that the effective treatment of addiction requires a broad examination of possibilities unrelated to the addiction. Thus, the understanding Continue reading...

“Special Agent’s rider hustled him furiously; Pollard tracked him like a tiger.

Rounding into the bend for home, Pollard let a loop of reins slip through his
fingers. Seabiscuit ate up the length of rein, bounding past Special Agent and
leaving Woolf and Indian Broom flat-footed. The race caller yelled, “Here
comes Seabiscuit!” and a joyful shout rose over the track.” (Hillebrand)
A horse race is two or more jockeys riding horses over a set distance. But anyone who has ever watched a movie similar to “The Black Stallion”, “National Velvet”, or “Seabiscuit” knows how thrilling a horse race can be. Televised events like the Kentucky Derby pass along the excitement Continue reading...

Steroids according to Klugger (2014) is a class of synthetic or natural organic compounds characterized by a 17 carbon atom molecular structures arranged in four rings (sec. 1). Being carbon-based compounds, steroids exhibit significant biochemical properties at both the cellular and tissue levels in the human body. Naturally, in the human body the steroid groups typically include all the human sex hormones, the bile acids, and the adrenal cortical hormones. Thus, according to Scovell (n.d.), steroids represent a family of somatic lipid molecules (amphipathic molecules) such as cholesterol (sec. 1). What is of primary concern, however, is steroid use Continue reading...

The denigration and physical maltreatment of one partner towards another has commonly been associated with men mistreating women. However, times are changing as women are increasingly more violent towards men from a statistical standpoint. That being said, the commonly held belief that men should never assault or defend themselves against women is being upheld at the same time. This is creating an awkward middle ground whereby men are still strictly disallowed from assaulting women (as they should, generally) but this is despite the fairly or very aggressive tactics that women are taken. This paper assesses these changing trends as Continue reading...

Social Work through the Jewish Lens
I. Domestic Violence and the Jewish Law
Violence against women has taken many forms since the beginning of history. Domestic violence is only one of its many forms. Far-reaching studies across the globe have shown that domestic violence emanates from society, and that does not regard cultural and social limits. No group is an exemption from this fact. The Jewish Community is as well contributing to the multi-faceted phenomenon of violence against women. According to Horsburgh (177), despite the fact that some Continue reading...

Psychology: Four Article Assignments

According to Stein & Stein (2008), social anxiety is an anxiety disorder characterized by extreme shyness, social avoidance, and even humiliation in social situations (p. 1115). People who suffer from social anxiety often fear the scrutiny of others in social situations. It is more widespread than previously thought, despite the fact that those opposed to pharmaceutical interventions accuse the psychiatric community of diagnosing the disorder too frequently (Stein & Stein, 2008, p. 1115). Social anxiety has a greater prevalence in the female population than the male population, with a lifetime prevalence of 12.1% versus a 12-month prevalence of 7.1% (Stein & Stein, Continue reading...

Abstract

Drug addiction, which refers to the uncontrollable dependency on drugs, is a growing crisis in the USA. Though the US government spends a few billions of dollars on risky substance abuse and drug addiction, only a small percentage of it is spent on the treatment of the addicted individuals. Though it is popularly believed that drug addiction can be overcome through willpower and resistance, in reality, overcoming the crisis requires more effort than just good intentions and willpower. The ABC Model of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is an evidence-based treatment that helps the addicted individuals overcome the crisis of drug Continue reading...

There are numerous medical supplies and equipment used in any healthcare facility, ranging from diagnostic supplies to surgical supplies (Carmody, 2014). Examples of medical supplies include syringes, cervical scrapers, speculums, medical gloves, gowns and cotton tip applicators.
A syringe is an equipment made up of a simple pump containing a plunger that can be pushed or pulled along the inside of a cylindrical barrel. These movements enable it to suck in or expel liquids through a hole at the tip of the barrel. A hypodermic needle is usually attached to the open tip of the syringe in order to Continue reading...

Volunteering at Animal Shelters

Millions of animals each year become candidates for animal shelter in British Columbia. Although not every unwanted pet becomes a ward of a shelter, many of them do. Once in the shelter, every attempt is made to find a loving home for the animal. Whether the animal is a dog, cat, rabbit, bird, horse, or other creature eligible for adoption, standards and practices are mandatory for their effective care. Unfortunately, due to massive overpopulation it sometimes becomes necessary to euthanize unwanted animals after a period of time. In order to address the plight of these animals, research was done Continue reading...

Humans often transpose old pain and trauma onto newer relationships, which is the emblem of the Adult Children of Alcoholics (ACoA) trauma syndrome. Traumatized people often hope that they can lead normal lives and leave their past behind them, especially when they enter adulthood and become older and wiser. Unfortunately, infantile states of feelings, emotions, and images that people hope to forget or repress are often triggered. Indeed, confronted by an overly critical boss, nitpicky spouse, or a child throwing a tantrum over not getting his or her way, an ACoA becomes irrationally unnerved by their present day circumstances Continue reading...

Have you ever heard stories about recently returned war veterans who do something completely contrary to their character and wondered: why did they snap? In many cases soldiers who return from high-pressure, high-conflict war situations suffer from a condition known as PTSD or Post-traumatic Stress Disorder. In fact, it is estimated that more than 5.2 million cases of PTSD are diagnosed each year in America (“How Common is PTSD”, 1.) War veterans and active military servicemen and women are more likely to suffer from PTSD than any other social group (Department of Veterans Affairs, 1). Post-traumatic Stress Disorder is Continue reading...

Introduction: Problem Statement

Anorexia nervosa is a serious mental illness common in teenage girls and young women (Korndorfer et al., 2003). More research has increasingly found the disorder in men as well (Arcelus et al., 2011). Extensive research has focused on the investigation of mortality rates in anorexia nervosa, and the rates of morbidity and mortality in patients with anorexia nervosa and other (related) eating disorders are believed to be high. However, the exact rates remain elusive. To show this, Korndorfer et al. (2003) note that reported standardized mortality ratios (SMRs) related to the mental disorder vary substantially between 0 to 17.8 Continue reading...

Children have in fact been victims of crime since time immemorial. Physical violence appears to be the oldest form of crime against children whereby for instance in the olden days; infants were murdered as a method of birth control. Children were also killed, for example, to avoid bringing dishonor to an individual after siring a child illegitimately and also as a means of disposing deformed or retarded children. During the industrial ages, another type of crime emerged, and this was child labor. Children as young as ten years worked for long hours in factories often working with dangerous machines Continue reading...

Nike has for long been under scrutiny for exploitation of labor, mistreatment of labor, and participation in illegal practices such as Child Labor. The company has not been doing any of these in its home country, where strict labor laws apply; rather its target has been saving production costs by outsourcing production to Third World countries, the governments of which are eager to attract foreign investments to benefit their yet emerging economies (Wilsey & Lichtig, 2012). This report focuses on the practices followed and the economical and ethical issues faced by Nike in outsourcing production for lower cost. Once these Continue reading...

Introduction

What are Opioids?
Opioids are compounds that adhere to the opiate receptors. The term, however, is often used to describe the alkaloid opioids, which are extracted from the opium poppy. Such alkaloids include codeine and morphine. Moreover, opioids include the drugs that are manufactured from the naturally occurring opiates. Such semi-synthetic opiates include heroin, which is prepared from morphine. Synthetic opioids, however, include methadone, propoxyphene, and fentanyl (Rosenblum, Marsch, Joseph, & Portenoy, 2008).

Mechanism of Action

Opioids act by adhering to the opioid receptor proteins. The receptors are involved in the pain modulation process and occur in both the central and the peripheral Continue reading...

Introduction

The presumption that all veterans are supported and undergirded by the United States of America for which they fought and served is a misleading notion. United States soldiers return from war as heroes, with two national holidays to commemorate their service to their country. Yet on home soil many remain in a battle for a place of their own to call home. These veterans have fallen prey to the ills-inequalities of war and of society. Collaterally, they have been damaged and demoted to the ranks of the disadvantaged. The disadvantaged, typically have less power than the majority of their Continue reading...

Narcotics Anonymous (NA) is a support group that grew out of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). They share a common program for the abstinence and recovery from substance abuse but NA was founded to help people with drug addictions specifically. The fellowship of support and the steps taken to achieve sobriety are the same. AA’s book, Alcoholics Anonymous written in 1937 by the founders of AA provides a blueprint for recovery and dozens of stories from alcoholics in recovery. NA has its own version of this type of book: it is specifically written for drug addicts.

Deployments call for a highly stressful event that is shown in long periods of obligations that symbolizes a great stress (Kgosana & Van Dyk, 2011). These stressors may appear before, during or after the deployment. These effects may extend themselves even way beyond the deployment affair. These stressors bring with them great stress and emotional problems to the family. Ever since the beginning, a soldier’s deployment means having to deal with stressful novelty inside the military. These changes may include an increased number of training exercises, an increased number of tasks, planning events and equipment monitoring (Kgosana & Van Dyk, Continue reading...

Patient’s Rights

Patient’s Rights

Introduction

The idea of informed consent can be viewed as an old procedure. It is normal and in fact, essential that any medical procedures must be properly informed to the patient. This is being done not only to obtain the patient’s consent, but also to increase the patient’s awareness when it comes to potential medical risks that may come along the way. Informed consent became a commonplace event to which some physicians believe that this is a possible generator of medical malpractice claims. We discussed that in some cases, the hospital itself is being liable Continue reading...

Policing of Prostitution and Drugs in Contemporary China

History of Policing in Prostitution and Drugs
Though “underage female prostitution” has been recorded for years, the crime of “Engaging in Prostitution with an Underage Girl,” or (EPUG), in the context of modern day China is firmly anchored in the chronological, developmental and societal structure of China. To fully comprehend the context of the crime of EPUG, there must be an examination and evaluation of the prevailing Chinese judicial system.

There are many difficult tasks throughout the world, from the hardest jobs to the most taxing obligations that are expected to be upheld. Nothing compares to the raising of a child. In fact, nothing comes close to the act of child rearing when it is determined how the effect of discipline and nurturing can cause a child to grow up feeling loved, respected, and relatively safe in a world of uncertainties. The opposite of this of course is to allow the child to grow up in an unsafe environment, where care and nurturing are uncertain at best and completely Continue reading...
