...Immigration and Canada’s Aging Demographic With more people living longer and having fewer children, can the arrival of immigrants help to stabilize the balance between generations? Immigrants play an important role in supporting programs that maintain an aging work force but immigration may not be able to relieve Canada of the challenges of an aging population. One in seven Canadians is a senior citizen, 13.7% of the Canadian population was over 65 in 2006, with the fastest growing group being seniors aged 85 years or old (Soc. p. 278). The proportion of seniors will double by 2031, totalling around 25% of the population (Soc. p. 278) In September 2005, Statistics Canada released a study on the population of Canada. This report gave a detailed picture of past, present and future population trends. Understanding population trends is important to the running of social and economic systems and plays an important role in determining government policy. The report contains a warning that Ottawa and other levels of government in Canada need to make some dramatic policy changes to meet the demographic challenges of the future. The Statistics Canada Report shows that Canada’s fertility rate is 1.5 children per female. With Canada’s aging population of “baby boomers” it means that in twenty years death may outpace births. This means as Canadians we are not even “replacing” ourselves. As a result, the growth rate in our population will change from increases to an actual decrease...

...CORRECTED 13 OCTOBER 2006; SEE LAST PAGE REPORTS Washing Away Your Sins: Threatened Morality and Physical Cleansing Chen-Bo Zhong1* and Katie Liljenquist2 Physical cleansing has been a focal element in religious ceremonies for thousands of years. The prevalence of this practice suggests a psychological association between bodily purity and moral purity. In three studies, we explored what we call the ‘‘Macbeth effect’’—that is, a threat to one’s moral purity induces the need to cleanse oneself. This effect revealed itself through an increased mental accessibility of cleansingrelated concepts, a greater desire for cleansing products, and a greater likelihood of taking antiseptic wipes. Furthermore, we showed that physical cleansing alleviates the upsetting consequences of unethical behavior and reduces threats to one’s moral self-image. Daily hygiene routines such as washing hands, as simple and benign as they might seem, can deliver a powerful antidote to threatened morality, enabling people to truly wash away their sins. W hen we find ourselves in morally compromising situations, how do we deal with the consequences of unethical behavior, given that most if not all of us desire a moral self-image? This paper investigates a basic coping mechanism that has been used by religions for centuries: washing away one_s sins. Physical cleansing, such as bathing or washing hands, is at the core of many religious rituals. Baptism, for instance, is a water purification ritual practiced...

...1. Peoples’ susceptibility to alcohol, mood and how it affects the client. Effects of alcohol on mood In a study conducted by Nurnberger (2002), a direct relationship exists between consumption of alcohol and mood . Alcoholic intoxification commonly produces a “high” with attendant giddiness and lowering of inhibitions. Conversely, hangovers and acute withdrawal typically produce dysphoria with elements of anxiety and depression mixed with physical malaise. Furthermore, alcoholism and depression can coexist and their susceptibility can run in families (Merikangas and Gelernter 1990). In addition , other studies carried out by Merikangas et al 1994 patients often use alcohol as a form of self medication for an affective disorder. In other words, depression may develop as a result of alcoholism; in this case alcoholism is the primary disorder and depression is considered an organic mood disorder (ie mood disorder with a physiological cause). Conversely, is was argued in other studies that there was no unequivocal effect on mood. ( Tilburg and Vingerhoets 2001). While come studies found that drinking was associated with inducing positive feelings of pleasure or reduction in negative feelings like uncertainty and tension ( ref 3,4) others have reported reported an increase in negative emotions (ref 5,6) or no direct effects on the mood at all ( ref 7,8) . Perkins at al (7) observed that alcohol intake decreased self- report Heavy alcohol use or alcohol misuse and major...

...Chronic Illness Leukemia Latasha Antonio SOC 313 Social Implication of Medical Issues Instructor Sabrina Geoffrion December 3, 2012 For the topic I want to force on is pediatric cancer. There are so many different kinds of cancer out there but I want just to limit my paper leukemia. I picked this topic because I have many of my family members that were lost a child to leukemia. There are many questions that I had when one of my cousins was diagnosed with leukemia. The many questions that I had on mind was what was her social life going to be like, the emotional stress, lifestyle and the psychological perspective. The other question that was on my mind was is leukemia passed down thought the genes because this was my third cousin that had leukemia. “Leukemia is cancer of the blood and develops in the bone marrow. The bone marrow is the soft, spongy center of certain bones that produces the three major blood cells: white blood cells to fight infection; red blood cells that carry oxygen; and platelets that help with blood clotting and stop bleeding. When a child has leukemia, the bone marrow, for an unknown reason, begins to make white blood cells that do not mature correctly, but continue to reproduce themselves. Normal, healthy cells only reproduce when there is enough space for them to fit. The body can regulate the production of cells by sending signals when to stop. With leukemia, these cells do not respond to the signals to stop and reproduce, regardless of space...

...Agoraphobia Marissa Burton SOC 313 Shamika Smith February 18, 2013 Panic disorders are anxiety disorders, diagnosed in people who experience thoughts of intense fright or discomfort; they are described by panic attacks, episodes in which the individual has feelings of deep anxiety or terror, followed by a sense of imminent doom (Flavo, 2009). Some people avoid going into situations or places in which they have formerly had a panic attack in anticipation of it reoccurring again. These people have agoraphobia, and they tend to stay away from public places where they feel that urgent escape might be difficult. About one in three people with panic disorder develops agoraphobia. Their world may become lesser, as they are always on guard, waiting for the next attack (Anxiety and Depression Association of America, 2010-2012). In this paper, I will discuss the lifestyle of people living with agoraphobia as well as the interventions, and factors that may act as retraining forces in agoraphobic individuals. Agoraphobia is a type of anxiety disorder in which individuals tend to avoid situations that they feel may cause them panic. People with agoraphobia may even avoid being alone, leaving their home or any predicament where they could feel humiliated, trapped, or helpless if they do panic. According to Mayo Clinic Staff (2011), people who are agoraphobic do not feel safe in any public place, especially where there is a crowd. They can feel trapped inside of their own home because...

...Alzheimer ’s disease SOC 313 Social Implications of Medical Issues Instructor: August 8, 2011 Alzheimer’s disease is irreversible progressive brain disease that destroys memory and thinking skills. “Its onset is generally insidious that gradually deterioration of cognitive function and eventually resulting death.” (Falvo, D. 2009). Alzheimer’s is the most common form of dementia among older people from age 65 or older. “Nearly 70 percentages of dementias are Alzheimer’s, and over 4.5 million Americans have it” (www.alz.org). This disease happens in older people, but a small percentage that can affect those in their middle age. One of the greatest risk factors that increase Alzheimer’s in family history is ages, and genetics. Alzheimer’s develops in genetic, lifestyle, and environmental work factors that cause this disease process. “Research shows that Latinos and African Americans in the United States have higher rates of vascular disease for developing Alzheimer’s”. (www.alz.org). If someone in your family has Alzheimer’s such as a brother, sister, or parent, they are more likely to developing the chance to getting the disease. There are two stages to having the disease, early onset and late onset. The early onset stage affects a small percentage of people under the ages 35 to 65. The early onset stages are usually inherited from a family history meaning a greater chance for developing the disease. The person tends to deal with forgetfulness, mood swings...

Kalisch, PhD, RN, FAAN; Dana Tschannen, PhD, RN; Kyung Hee Lee, MPH, RN Patient falls in hospitals continue to be a major and costly problem. This study tested the mediating effect of missed nursing care on the relationship of staffing levels (hours per patient day [HPPD]) and patient falls. The sample was 124 patient units in 11 hospitals. The HPPD was negatively associated with patient falls (r = − 0.36, P < .01), and missed nursing care was found to mediate the relationship between HPPD and patient falls. Key words: falls, missed nursing care, staffing P to 12% of hospitalized patients experience at least 1 fall during their hospital stay.1 A fall is defined as any event in which patients are found on the floor (observed or unobserved) or an unplanned lowering of the patient to the floor by staff or visitors.2 In 2008, and 2010, falls were identified as one of the top 10 sentinel event categories by the Joint Commission.3 Fall rates in hospitals range from 4 to 14 falls per 1000 patient days.4 With the adoption of the Centers of Medicare and Medicaid rule, which no longer reimburses hospitals at the higher diagnosis related group for the care and treatment associated with patient falls that occur during hospitalization, a clearer understanding of what factors U Author Affiliations: School of Nursing...

...CYBERPSYCHOLOGY, BEHAVIOR, AND SOCIAL NETWORKING Volume 15, Number 9, 2012 ª Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. DOI: 10.1089/cyber.2012.0034 Online Gaming Addiction? Motives Predict Addictive Play Behavior in Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games 1 Daria J. Kuss, M.Sc., M.A., Jorik Louws, M.Sc.,2 and Reinout W. Wiers, Ph.D. 3 Abstract Recently, there have been growing concerns about excessive online gaming. Playing Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games (MMORPGs) appears to be particularly problematic, because these games require a high degree of commitment and time investment from the players to the detriment of occupational, social, and other recreational activities and relations. A number of gaming motives have been linked to excessive online gaming in adolescents and young adults. We assessed 175 current MMORPG players and 90 nonplayers using a Web-based questionnaire regarding their gaming behavior, problems as consequences of gaming, and game motivations and tested their statistical associations. Results indicated that (a) MMORPG players are significantly more likely to experience gaming-related problems relative to nonplayers, and that (b) the gaming motivations escapism and mechanics significantly predicted excessive gaming and appeared as stronger predictors than time investment in game. The findings support the necessity of using measures that distinguish between different types of online games. In addition, this study proves useful regarding the current...
