...Facebook-using students (as compared to students who didn’t use Facebook) said they felt connected to their school and community. However, negative effects abound. Students who use Facebook and hit the books simultaneously found their multitasking led to 20% lower grades than those of their more focused peers. Facebook-using students also made less money during school from part-time work, putting in around five hours per week as opposed to 16 hours per week for a typical, unplugged counterpart. Not only do grades and finances suffer, but students might actually end up feeling more depressed or lonely. Almost half of students believe they are sadder than their friends on Facebook, and 25% of college students have shown signs of severe depression in their status updates at one time or another. In a word, the results are inconclusive. But with around 96% of all college students on Facebook, only the most dedicated academics would consider giving up social media for a slightly better GPA. In the comments, we’d like to...

...Part 1) “Oh, if I had done nothing simply from laziness! Heavens, how I should have respected myself, then. I should have respected myself because I should at least have been capable of being lazy; there would at least have been one quality, as it were, positive in me, in which I could have believed myself.” Reaction- The underground man has a seemingly pitiful life. He desires to have qualities that “normal” people detest. In this passage he is positively reflecting on laziness. How if he could only be lazy he would have ONE positive quality. It is sad that he doesn’t think he has a single positive quality, and furthermore that a negative one would be fulfilling for him. I also do myself enjoy being lazy, but only whilst I’m being lazy. After that it becomes drab and I look back on the wasted time. It is a pity. Part 2) But at this point a strage thing happened. I was so accustomed to think and imagine everything from books, and to picture everything in the world to myself just as I had made it up in my dreams beforehand, that I could not all at once take in this strange circumstance. What happened was this: Liza, insulted and crushed by me, understood a great deal more than I imagined. She understood from all this what a woman understands first of all, if she feels genuine love, that is, that I was myself unhappy. Reaction- I love this passage, and everything leading up to it. This man who had holy rollered his way over her in the Whore-house, preaching to her...

...optimistic, life proclaiming symbolism that reflects the speaker's pride in choosing the road less traveled. His use of symbolic ideas allows for his work to be interpreted in various ways, and every reader can find their own meaning to his words. Robert Frost experienced many losses in his life including his father in 1885, his mother in 1900, his sister in 1929, and four of his six children, two of which died at very early ages. Of course everyone experiences losses in their lives, but one can imagine the profound effect the death of a child would have on one's disposition. The often gloomy and even depressing tones of many of his poems can be seen as a projection of his own depression and feelings of loss. Most people read "Acquainted with the Night" as dealing with the ideas of loneliness, depression, sufferings, and even contemplation of suicide. Everyone can relate to the feelings of isolation as most go through a period of such feelings themselves, if to varying degrees. The first line of the poem tells the reader that night is a metaphor with profound symbolic meaning. Everyone is familiar with what night is, so there must be a deeper meaning behind the words. In most poems night is a symbol for death, which it very well could symbolize in this poem, but another...

...In Robert Pack's, "To an Empty Page," the speaker discusses death and its consequences regarding relief to show the author's purpose as a feeling of loneliness and depression. He does this with the use of an echo sonnet form, foreshadowing within the title, and through the use of emotion evoking pathos. Pack's use of a sonnet for reveals his feelings and emotions toward love, which sonnets are normally about. Readers can feel the raw emotion that Pack reveals in his discussion regarding the speakers possible death and loss of love, thereafter. In addition, the fact that he wrote an echo sonnet aids in the author’s purpose because it allows the reader to be aware of the words meant to be emphasized. Along with its emphasis, the echo, in some cases, seems to answer a rhetorical question made by the speaker. For example, “what’s the end of my life’s long disease? Ease,” (line 7). Within this quote, the speaker is relaying his belief that the only way to relieve himself of life’s burdens is through death. Pack exposes his true feelings of loneliness, which in sonnet form allows readers to sense his passion. The title, "To an Empty Page," Pack eludes that his poem is dark and filled with sadness. A breakdown of the title shows that Pack's diction with using, "To," was as if the speaker was sending his sonnet to somebody; as if he were talking to an imaginary listener. But contrast to that idea, he is sending his sonnet to, "an Empty Page," meaning nobody. These words have a...

...Nursing Burnout Bridget Solomon Grand Canyon University Spirituality in Health Care, HLT-310V Charles Self January 9, 2015 Nursing Burnout Sitting on my couch yesterday I was scrolling through my Facebook page, when I came across one of my girlfriend’s posts. It was an article written by an inner city emergency room (ER) nurse. The name of the article was, Madness: tales of an emergency room nurse and how I became a bitch. The article talked about the everyday work life of an emergency room nurse. I am an emergency room nurse and have never worked in any other department and this article hit close to home for me. The article talked about the emotional and physical abuse that only an ER nurse would understand. After reading the article it made me think about nurses combating compassion fatigue. Some people might ask, “ What is compassion fatigue?” In this paper I will talk about the cause of compassion fatigue, talk about warning signs, physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of a caregiver, and last some coping techniques. Causes of Compassion Fatigue Compassionate fatigue refers to the physical, emotional, spiritual, and social exhaustion that overcomes individuals and leads to persistent decline in their desire, energy, and ability to care for other people (Bush, 2009). As nurses our role is to be the patient’s number one caregiver. Many studies show that nurses experience a high level of compassion fatigue. Not a day goes by during a nurse’s shift where we aren’t...

...WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT KEVIN It was a good movie to see that how the interaction of attachment and biological predisposition goes on a a school massacre as an ending point. In the beginning of movie we saw a young woman in a fest and enjoying with friends. Then she married and quitted such life. It was the precursor of her unhappiness and insecure attachment with his child. Then she moved another place and began to live a different life from she had before. She had a baby through an unplanned pregnancy. Because of the all these causes, we had an unhappy and depressed mother who experienced difficulties while forming attachment with her son, Kevin. In flashback scenes, we also saw that during 9 months of pregnancy, she couldn’t internalize and embrace her son. Development, long process, also trace to pregnancy, even earlier periods, so Kevin felt her mother’s unhappiness because of him. That is to say, all we know that babies also feel when they are unwanted. After Kevin was born, the mother’s mood and feelings wouldn’t change. At the time she was giving birth, she had same numbness on her face. Up to now it may seem that I am blaming the mother, but it is not like that. Because in addition to mother’s depressed mood and numb face, Kevin was also difficult child. The mother was also aware of it, very early months. He was crying constantly and never showing a warm affect towards his mother. She really tried her best to form a secure and intimate relationship, she also tried her...

...The effects of behaviour and development when a child suffer from a bereavement The loss of someone close through death is a traumatic and painful event for the majority of people. For many children and young people the death of a parent, sibling, friend or relative can be extremely difficult because of the child’s inability to understand and articulate their feelings. Similarly young people who have been bereaved whilst they are on the cusp of adulthood can find the emotions that they are experiencing to be frighteningly intense. Grief is individual and the processes of mourning are never the same between two people. However some of the responses to death and bereavement can be similar depending on the age, level of comprehension, relationship with the person who has died and the emotional resilience of the mourner. The following responses are common Alternating play and sadness Members of the school staff may be the first to recognise changes in the bereaved child or young person’s behaviour outside of their immediate family, who may not have noticed if they too are grieving. Young children may appear to be sad and withdrawn one minute then might begin playing with building blocks or dolls the next. This is because unlike adults, bereaved children do not possess the emotional reserves to grieve continuously and they will need respite from their grief. Play allows the bereaved child to shift their focus from their grief, albeit for a short while, until they are sufficiently...

...A potential killer—depression Imagine that there is an illness, breaking out without overt symptoms. More importantly, you may not totally treatable from it because it may emerge and relapsed for many times. According to investigations, there are around 25 millions of people in Japan got this illness and in Hong Kong also reaches almost 5 millions of people. What I am talking about now is not a cancer, not an AIDS. It’s a psychological illness -- the depression. Today I would like to share what I've learned about the affect of depression about the transformation of mood and willpower. People who got depression, most of times are in an obvious and persistent low mood. They lost interests of life and thinks that all the things need to do of life are missions, which is tough to accomplish. It was like, as Andrew Solomon said, the opposite of depression—the vitality of life, seems to seep away in that moment. Imagine that if a person finding his life is meaningless, without vitality, remaining painful and suffering. What would they do? After knowing how it changes a person’s mood, we’ll pass to the willpower. As the saying goes, willpower creates people, so to say the destruction of one’s willpower is also destroying one person. When self-abasement attacks a person directly, reducing his confidence and the person keep on blaming himself, all of these could disaggregate a person step by step. Here are one example, she's a poet named Maggie Robbins...

...Empty nest syndrome is defined as "the experience that relates to parents' feelings of unhappiness, worry, loneliness, and depression resulting from their children's departure from home" (Feldman, 2011p. 521). Some parent’s find this time very challenging, mainly mothers because they have raised their children and cared for them most of their lives and now it has come to an end. Some parents find it rewarding that their children have left the nest, because they have more leisure time for such things as physical and psychological energies like community and recreational activities” (Feldman, 2011p.521). I think parents or caregivers should find outlets before their child or children leave the home, that way they have something to keep them distracted. Empty nest syndrome can weigh very heavily on a marriage, the husband and wife may be used to a routine and this may knock their relationship off track. Being said maybe the couple did not spent as much time together because the child or children took up most of the mother’s time. I have seen several marriages where the couples were not use to seeing each other so much verses others that wanted to spend more time together. Some men feel a loss for their children leaving also, maybe as much as the mother. "One survey of fathers whose children had left home found that although they showed signs of happiness a quarter of the father felt unhappy deep down inside"(Feldman, 2011,p.521). Parents should spend as much time as they can with...

...Honors English 10 Rodriguez Essay Richard Rodriguez wrote an untitled passage that poignantly portrays some of the family-related Christmas events that have occurred during his life. This particular selection addresses how his mother’s prediction about her children’s future wealth foreshadowed the scarcity of satisfaction, earnest values, and close interpersonal relationships they developed as adults. In this specific piece of work, Rodriguez effectively utilizes powerful writing elements such as selection of detail, narrative structure, manipulation of language, and tone to convey his feelings of insignificance, futility, hollowness, desolation, and lack of fulfillment regarding both himself and his entire family to the reader. Rodriguez first employs selection of detail to convey his own lack of significance by exempting himself from the specifics he presents when he discusses the success of his mother’s children: “Her two daughters are business executives. Her oldest son is a lawyer.” Rodriguez, then, uses selection of detail to emphasize the importance of his mother’s prediction that her children would “all be very rich” and “have lots of money to buy [her] presents”, but that she will be “a little old lady” without “any teeth or hair” and although they will buy her “a big fur coat”, they will “only be able to see [her] eyes.” The powerful element of narrative structure is also evident in the above referenced, lengthy, verbatim quote from the author’s mother that...

...Given the complexity of depressive disorders, various theories are an attempt to explain the etiology of the depressive moods. In nowadays we tend to point out the chemical imbalance in the brain. Reduction of certain neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine are proved to be responsible for the symptom criteria of depression referring to monoamine theory (Preston et al., 2013, p. 86). Thus, the treatment target this dysregulation of mood using antidepressant medication. Most antidepressants are equally effective in lowering or increasing the level these neurotransmitters in the brain. However, to reach a positive outcome from the psychopharmacology treatment to depression, the prescriber should consider, the symptoms, the possible side effects, interaction with other medication, other health problems, the dose, etc. (Preston et al., 2013). Choices are various when talking about an antidepressant. Type of antidepressant are Tricyclic (TCAs) (e.g., Amitriptyline, Norpramin, Trazodone, Tofranil, etc.). Tricyclic are known to be “dirty” medication (Preston et al., 2013, p. 174) because while they operate they do not target specific receptors responsible for the symptomology instead, they affect many receptors...
