...coming home from a war and truly are traumatized by what they saw, and are not able to recover to live a life like they had before they went to war. Doctors will be the first to say that this is not the only way for people to develop symptoms of post-traumatic stress. People right in any neighborhood can develop the disorder and have never stepped foot near an army, navy, or marine base in their life. There are many ways for a person to develop post-traumatic stress without going to war, which most people are probably unaware of when they start to read about it. Although every person suffers differently and the effects and symptoms of PTSD are frequently different with each person, they all suffer from the same disorder. Post-traumatic Stress or more commonly known as PTSD is a regular reaction to an uncharacteristic experience that is far outside normal human experience, causing substantial distress and damage to a person mentally, physically, and emotionally. When people have experienced a tragic life experience, many develop symptoms of PTSD because of the tragedy. Tragic experiences can range from going to war and seeing horrific scenes, a bad car accident that injured themselves and possibly others, and childhood situations such as molestation or loss of a parent or close family members. Many people associate PTSD with people that only were in the military, however anyone can suffer from PTSD from other sources as well. Post-traumatic stress can affect not only the person who...

...and ways of thinking that are not easy for everyone to follow. In Omelas, the citizens have the choice to ignore the suffering of a child locked in a cellar, or leave the life and the city they are familiar with. The people of Omelas must ask themselves whether it is better for a child to suffer for the city’s happiness and wealth, or should the city suffer, just to give the child a shot at happiness? It is ironic because Omelas is a utopian city however they treat a feeble minded child horribly for the good of their city. The symbols and themes of this story play a huge role of how I interpreted the story, such as the horse, bird/swallow, flute player, and the cellar child acting as a ‘scapegoat’. “The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas” begins with the narrator describing a beautiful utopian city called Omelas. It is a city with more happiness than can be imagined. The scene shifts from a bright Summer Festival to one of a child locked in a cellar. One reads of the isolation, neglect, abuse, and fear that this child suffers, and all of the citizens are aware of what the child is going through. They have also seen the child and decided that they are helpless. They believe that the child must suffer in order for the city to be happy and prosperous. Some of the people leave town after they see the child and realize that they cannot be truly happy knowing the child is suffering. They walk out the city of Omelas never to go back “The story ends with “The place they go towards is a place...

... People who are terminally ill should decide if they want to live in pain or die. There are a lot of arguments about the family wanting their love ones to live instead of die, which is selfish. The family should also understand. If a person is terminally ill and not able to take the pain anymore, then they should end their lives upon their choice. Terminally ill patients should be able to decide not to suffer, make their own decisions and die with dignity. For one it is selfish to have an ill person suffering waiting on their death day. It should only be their choice if they decide to suffer or not. If you have never suffered before, then you wouldn’t know how bad the pain really is. No matter whom they are, regardless if it’s the mother, father, sister, brother, aunt, or any other close member of the family, have to understand it’s our lives. Pain is pain there is no big or small, pain is exactly what it is. “Legalize Assisted Suicide: A debate.”(1) Discuss killing someone to suffer. It discusses the fear of the losing capacity to make the choice to die. Those are some of the reason terminally ill patients should not have to suffer. Secondly, under no circumstances a terminally ill person should decide how he/she would like to end their lives. No one should push terminally ill patients into doing nothing, because at the end of the day, they should make their own decision. If patients are ill and want to suffer then that should be their choice also. On the other hand, if...

...disorder, somatoform disorder, and schizoid personality disorder. Individuals that suffer from schizoid personality disorder avoid social relationships and do not show emotion. “The reason they avoid social contact, however, has nothing to do with paranoid feelings of distrust or suspicion; it is because they genuinely prefer to be alone” (Comer, 2011). Theorists explain this disorder with two different approaches that include psychodynamic and cognitive. Some people believe that schizoid personality disorder is caused by abusive or negligent parents. Psychodynamic theorists according to Comer believe that individuals that suffer from schizoid personality disorder are unable to give or receive love and many other emotions. Cognitive theorists suggest that individuals that suffer from schizoid personality disorder suffer from deficiencies in their thinking according to Comer. Individuals that suffer from schizoid personality disorder do not always seek treatment because they do not like to be in a social setting where they would need to interact with another individual. There are no medications that will treat this disorder. The treatment that is most effective is a cognitive-behavioral technique. “On the cognitive end, their techniques include presenting clients with lists of emotions to think about or having them write down and remember pleasurable experiences” (Comer, 2011). Individuals that suffer from schizoid personality disorder are considered loners and they lack emotion....

If it had been implemented properly and effectively, social behavior would be different: we would have real actions to generate and maintain the market (suppliers, customers or patients and others) without major problems due to bad practices (wanting to believe that ignorance of those who have had direct), and not have to live through guardianships and demands against the system, to achieve what should be a priority of the sector entities and the government itself: humanism.

Yet again, they also have passion for the animals that are being eaten because they don't have recognition that those animals are what they are eating for dinner. Once the do become aware they see that most toys are not of the farm animals they eat, but of animals they see or animals that live in the wild. Which in the long run they will find out the truth, but it will be too late because they are accustomed to eating it. They are being dominated by their parents who tell them to eat it because it will make them healthier and stronger. Children’s brains are corrupted as a young age informing them that nutrition such as proteins are received by eating these poor creatures. Also, children’s book and fairy tales just shows them false lives of how farm animal live. The images are of the animals freely living in a farm with their babies when in reality some farm animals get separated from their chicks and calves once they give birth. Here he says that if a child becomes aware of the situation they will stop eating these animals making these children more intelligent, than their parents, but books and even human do not try to make these cruel statements to the children.

...points of 1 Peter. The first chapter of 1st Peter is about how God has given us his undeserved mercy. He sent his only son Jesus to die for mankind and forgive us of our sins. When God sent Jesus, Jesus made disciples that weren’t serving themselves but they were serving God because they knew what he had done and was going to do. First Peter: 1:6-7 says “In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.” This we know, we should purify our ever actions and thoughts because God has been merciful to us. Christians should live as 1 Peter: 2:16-17 states it “Live as free people, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as God’s slaves. Show proper respects to everyone, love the family of believers, fear God, and honor the emperor.” That’s how we should live but we tend not to. We should act the way God has intended us to so that we can show unbelievers that we are good and possibly convert them. Don’t act and dress fancy to impress act and dress to what please God. “Finally, all of you, be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, and be compassionate and humble. Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called...

...Anxiety Torrie Jauregui Com/172 August 20th, 2014 Brendan Praniewicz Anxiety Anxiety is a disorder where people live in fear. The people who suffer with this disorder worry all the time about if something will go wrong. This disorder destroys how people suffering with it live on a daily basis. People suffering with this disorder fear from being judged by others. They fear going out and being a part of society, they fear that they will have a massive panic attack out of know where. This disorder creates social anxiety, affects personal life, and creates panic attacks in the person suffering. Social anxiety is the extreme fear of being scrutinized and judged by others in social or performance situations “Anxiety and depression association of America, 2014.” People dealing with social anxiety have a hard time being in situations that make them have to deal with or be around other people. Here is an example about social anxiety effecting a man named Greg. One day Greg got talked into going to a party with his roommate. However, Greg’s roommate suddenly had to work that day and could no longer attend. Greg now was going alone and had not been able to come up with a good reason to no longer go. When he arrived his anxiety was starting to hit him; he was sweating vigorously. Once he entered the party, he no longer wanted to be there. His new objective for the night was to hide in plain sight and get out as soon as he could (Jantz, 2014). The fear of letting down his roommate...

...Children in single-parent families more likely to suffer emotional problems, report finds Broken home children are 'five times more likely to suffer mental troubles' 1 in 4 children suffer as cohabiting couples split Children do better with fathers around Children suffering as more parents cohabit Kids from broken homes too sad to learn, teachers say Children from broken homes are almost five times as likely to suffer from emotional disorders as those whose parents stay together, new research shows. The findings from the Office of National Statistics add to the mounting evidence of the damage caused by family breakdown, with experts warning things could get worse. Family breakdown was far more significant than most ‘household’ factors such as financial circumstances, although having two unemployed parents was also a factor. Children from so-called “reconstituted” families containing step-parents and step-siblings were also more likely to suffer emotional problems. Patricia Morgan, academic and expert on the subject of family breakdown, said: “This does not come as a surprise, and things are going to get worse. “Broken families and serial fathers produce homes full of conflict and chaos and they are terrible for children.” Although the study did not differentiate between married and cohabiting families, another study released earlier this month showed that one in four children of cohabiting parents suffer family breakdown before they start school at the...

...Friedrich Nietzsche once said: "To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering. Life is hard, but if we survive it, then we'll understand it. The controversy behind euthanasia essentially revolves around the simple question "Who has the choice in my own death?"People think of this in two ways; either they strictly forbid it or are firmly in favor to it; however I believe that there is a vast area of grey. Though I can’t hold grudge against the idea of euthanasia, I am opposed the fact of encouraging it in our society. I know it is allowed in some countries, but I think it should not be permitted in any circumstances. While I can understand the logic of its supporters, I believe that tolerance is the equal of corruption. People can go on for ages discussing what's right and wrong about euthanasia, but I want to address a number of the arguments that I found most important which are the mistakes made to kill innocent lives, euthanasia and the law, and voluntary euthanasia. Euthanasia itself as a theory is quite cruel. It disregards the means of hope. For such a recent practice it is hard to pinpoint its consequences. It is often hard to tell the difference between the victims and the family. As a fact, euthanasia is illegal in Canada. People who euthanize can violate the patient's rights, create an economic burden, interfere with a doctor's job, or increase suffering among them. It is never easy to watch your loved ones suffer, but I consider it is better...

...presented as being unique. It was characterized as empirical, scientific, pragmatic, therapeutic for which Buddha stated “One thing I teach, suffering and the end of suffering” (Houston Smith, page 68) psychological, egalitarian, and it was directed toward individuals. As Buddha preached, his discoveries became known as the Four Noble Truths. The First Noble Truth is that life is suffering. Another word for suffering that Buddha used was dukkha. Whatever life we may live, there is a part in which we do suffer. Buddha believed that it was normal to suffer in our lives, but it was not impossible to enjoy it. The Second Noble Truth answers the questions as to why do we suffer in our lives. There are many factors that can cause a person to suffer such as anger, attachment, ignorance, and tahna. Tahna refers to desire, it is a specific desire in which people crave material goods, pleasure, and others needs that can never really be fulfilled. When we want to have things that are out of our control then we begin to suffer and with that suffering other feelings may surface including jealousy, hate, and greed. The Third Noble Truth reveals that in order to end suffering you must overcome the Second Noble Truth. It is a reverse switch; you must end your suffering by releasing those selfish desires from your life. The Fourth Noble Truth is a description of how the cure of tahna can be achieved, and that is with The Eightfold Path. The first in this process is right knowledge, we must know...

...impact how that individual thinks, behaves, or interacts with other individuals (Spirit and Associates, 2000). Mental illness can vary in severity from mild to moderate to server and then profound. Just because a person suffers from a mental illness does not mean that they can be pick from a crowd. They are normal everyday looking individuals. Mental illness is something that has been common in the United States as well as internationally. “An estimated 26.2 percent of Americans ages 18 and older or about one in four adults suffer from a diagnosable mental disorder in a given year. When applied to the 2004 U.S. Census residential population estimate for ages 18 and older, this figure translates to 57.7 million people (Health, 2006-2012).” Mental illness is known to be one of the leading causes of American disabilities in the United States and Canada. Individual can suffer from more than one disorder at the same time. There may be one mental illness that is related to another and an individual may be diagnosed with both due to traits from one illness. Individuals who suffer from mental disorders are sometimes born with them or have developed them from life time events such as institutionalization, drugs, or alcohol. Some mental illness that individuals may suffer from are suicide, schizophrenia, anxiety disorders, mood disorders, obsessive compulsive disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, social phobia, autism, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, Alzheimer’s disease...
