...Since I have come from such a large family due to the fact that my parents do foster care. I have seen all different kinds of cases from severe abuse and neglect. Out of the hundreds of kids that have come an gone from my house only one case sticks out big time in my head. A little girl only four years old came straight from the hospital and into are house in a full body cast. When I first spoke to her I could hear the pain in her voice and could see the pain in her eyes. This little girl was only four years old when her father nearly almost beat her to death and then left her in a room with no food and no water for weeks until someone finally caught on to the warning signs that her father was displaying.

...Did you know that according to the Delaware Action For Animals, more than 40 million animals are killed each year for fun? That means that animal families, babies, and kids are killed each year. This is called animal abuse. To me this is wrong and animals deserve a life just like other people. Pretend you are in a jungle and you are with your family. It is peaceful. A guy pops out and starts trying to kill your family. Your whole family starts dying and then you get shot. Most people would be scared, sad, and worried. This is probably what animals feel like when they are being hunted. One reason why people abuse animals is to hunt for fun and to make money or decorations. For example, people cut off chimps hands and sell them for souvenirs. Imagine people killed you, sold your hands for money, and people bought them for souvenirs. When people go hunting after they also skin the animals or stuff them so they can have decorations on their wall. Many people do this so people think that they are cool. According to peta.org 40 percent of hunters slaughter millions of animals on public land every year. Hunters who make decorations out of dead animals are terribly cruel because they are taking away lives from innocent animals. Cutting off animal heads to hang on the wall is very weird and strange....

...the historical development of an awareness of family violence in terms of the 1960s being the decade of sensitivity to child abuse, the 1970s to spouse abuse, and the 1980s to elder abuse (Kosberg, 1988). Elder abuse became a public issue in 1978 with testimony given to a congressional subcommittee on the abuse of elderly parents (Wolf, 1988). In 1988, the National Aging Resource Center on Elder Abuse (NARCEA) conducted several national surveys that revealed problems across states relative to the reporting of elder abuse. Although authorized in 1987 but not funded until 1990, the Elder Abuse Prevention Program was established under the Older Americans Act, enacted in 1975 (Goldstein, 1995).

...Substance Abuse and Addiction Position Paper For many years, individuals have battled substance abuse and addiction. My position comes from hearing about it, seeing results from it, reading about it, and developing my own thoughts of it. Substance abuse and addiction is a problem within the individual and how string their mind-frame is. Substance abuse and addiction Addiction is a complex disorder characterized by compulsive drug use. ( Robinson, Smith, and Saisan, 2014) Most people or first time users will just use the drug to experiment with it, for reasons of curiosity, peer pressure, depression or anxiety. A person may become addicted because the power of the drug take over their minds and they feel the need to cannot go on without having the drugs. Some people believe that addiction is a brain disease. More than three decades of research supported by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) has proven that addiction is a complex brain disease characterized by compulsive, at time uncontrollable, drug craving, seeking, and use that persist despite potentially devastating consequences. (Volkow) I do not think addiction is a brain disease, it is thought or feeling that is formed for the need of wanting a drug all the time. Who’s prone to becoming addicted? I think weak individuals are prone to becoming addicted to drugs. If a person is going through something and they try drugs, it may make them feel better, so every time that person is down and out, they will turn...

...Sexual abuse in children and teens. From 2009-2013, CPS agencies found strong evidence to indicate that 63000 children a year were victims of sexual abuse. Most people don't understand why someone would want to rip the innocence from a child. Most perpetraitors end up in prison. Child sexual abuse is when someone innapropiately touches a child. A child cannot consent to any form of sexual activity. When someone engages with a child in this way, they are commiting a crime that can have lasting effects on the victim. Child sexual abuse is not always physical contact. Some forms of child sexual abuse are: fondling, intercourse, sex trafficking, exhibitionism, obscene phone calls or messages, also owning pornagraphic images or videos of a minor. This is usally seen in rural areas of low income single parent families with a love in partner and with multiple children. Physical abuse is also seen, and this is when disciplinary actions get out of hand. In serious cases the parent or guardian is removed and the child is placed with a family member or foster family for the time being. After a child is placed in the system there are services provided to the families that need assistance with the protection and care of the child. The system arranges adoption or permanent family conection for the child once they leave foster...

...How to Write a Paper About Nothing Posted on February 22, 2010 · in How-To Writing classes tell students a lot of things. A great many of these things are true, if you’re one of those outmoded models with a “drive to learn” (it hurts to type it) or are one of the poor souls to major in a topic with the word “literature” attached to it. For the rest of us, a different model of writing is necessary. Specifically, a model of writing that can be applied at 1 AM with a hangover and a dozen different assignments due the following morning. As firm believers in sloth and vigilant guardians against that daemon known as effort, Tiger Mag is here to help. The following is a guide to writing a paper just marginally worth the ink used to print it. Carry it with you in dark places, and even darker deadlines. Step 1: Brainstorming Or rather, a lack thereof. A key element of the Tiger Mag academic writing method is a complete and utter lack of forethought and preparation. If your citations go further than the first ten search results on Google, you’re probably overdoing it. Step 2: The Un-Thesis As you might have guessed, the un-thesis is the antithesis of the thesis. After saying that aloud five times, you might wonder just what exactly that means. But that enigma is the sheer brilliance of the un-thesis: it means nothing. The un-thesis is simply an excuse to ramble for six pages on any related topic that happens to cross your mind as you tap futilely away at your keyboard. The ideal...
