...1. Explain at least four specific warning signs of severe depression (not necessarily suicide). a. Sleeping habits change– When a person suffers from severe depression you may notice a change in their normal sleeping pattern. Some people will sleep too much and others will sleep very little b. Loss of concentration – A person can lose their concentration in all aspects of their life. This means that they are no longer interested in participating whether it be at work, school or home. c. Eating habits change – Often you will find that people who suffer from severe depression have had a loss of appetite or a sudden weight loss may be noticeable. On the opposite spectrum of that you may find a person who overeats to compensate their depression. d. Arrangements – A person suffering from severe depression may choose to make arrangements if they are considering suicide. These arrangements can include care for their family and pets in their absence. 2. Research a disorder associated with stress or mental health. - PTSD A military deployment can take a toll on any given person. The toll can be seen in many different forms such as emotional and mental disorders. These types of disorders can destroy an individual from the inside, out. Now multiply those symptoms by the number of deployments some soldiers have endured and the chance for mental disorders like post- traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) increase drastically. There have been many studies done to determine...

...Ethical Issues “How Should Managers Handle Tough Management Decisions” Questions for Discussion 1. Why is it important to focus on motivating employees who survive a layoff? It is important to focus on motivating employees who survive a layoff because employees “left behind” often ask themselves the following questions: Is this really over? Is this just the first round? Why am I staying and not them? Contrary to some management expectations about employees working harder after a reduction in force, employees may cut back on their work production and efficiency. They may withdraw from company social activities and regress to a point where they are in danger of being discharged from employment. (Beier, 2014) "It's natural for people to have mixed feelings about keeping their jobs when co-workers have been let go," says Robert Hosking, executive director. "Layoff survivors often experience guilt about being the ones who stay while also working in an environment marked by uncertainty."(Winter, 2009) This is where managers perform a critical function. Managers can help layoff survivors to rediscover and reconnect with their own motivation, direction, and goals to become more fully engaged employees. 2. To what extent is Conaty's advice consistent with equity and expectancy theory? Equity theory emphasizes the need for managers to pay attention to employees' perception of what is fair and equitable. No matter how fair management thinks the organization's policies,...

...my food on days I work so I don’t have to deal with it. . After all of this is done with my gut I am never having a milk shake again in my life! I am so happy and grateful to be cancer free that it seems almost petty to be complaining about pain, about my gut, about being down right angry & pissed & scared all at once. They say there are 5 stages of grief people go through… 1. Denial & isolation 2. Anger 3. Bargaining 4. Depression and 5. Acceptance These 5 stages don’t necessarily go in any order. I know I have totally hit all of these stages over the last two years dealing with cancer and surgery and recovery and now lately I just feel like I am stuck, stuck in the stupid anger stage. Angry I had cancer, angry every time I look at my hand or feel the pain, angry when I get dressed and see my huge abdominal scar, and so angry when I think of May 7th, the day of my next big dye study and meeting with the surgeons. Angry that I can finally sit up right without my abdominal muscles hurting after too long, and now they are going to get cut open again. Angry my scar on my stomach is going to be cut open for a 5th time. Angry I...

...Research and Answer: The causes of genocide in many situations in history are a hatred of some kind, or a stereotype. Over the years prejudices are developed for others that seem to be different in some way, whether it be religion, or what you look like. In the case of the Holocaust, it had nothing to do with how people looked, but their religion (Judaism). These differences lead people to believe that they are better than them in every way. People allow genocide to still occur today because no matter what, people will be different. As long as people are different, there is a reason to hate people that aren’t like you. You or I wouldn’t support genocide, but people that believe in their religion or culture strong enough can believe they are superior to everyone else, and have the right to perform a genocide. Yes, I believe that allied air bombings of german cities were ethical because many people may say that no killing is ethical, however you can’t just let Germany kill as many people as they want and not fire back because it isn’t ethical. Germany had to be stopped in some way, and I believe bombing them was most ethical. Other groups that suffered at the hands of the Nazis are All non-Aryans, including Jews, Communists,...

...October 11, 2015 The heartache of losing someone dear to us is a pain that most of us will unfortunately experience at some point in our lives. Comforting someone who has lost a loved one is not an easy endeavor, as finding the right words to ease someone’s pain is no easy feat. Now, imagine comforting a mom or dad, sister or brother, spouse or child of someone who intentionally took their own life. Not only does the family and friends of the suicide victim feel the shock of loss, but also they may feel that they failed the victim in some way, did not see the signs, and feel guilt that they should have seen this coming. Coupled with their own guilt, they may also shoulder the burden of the guilt of others, as society places blame on the survivors for not helping the victim deal with emotional or physical problems that may have led to the ultimate untimely death. As healthcare providers, it is important to not place blame, and to help the survivors find a way to deal with the loss, as well as the guilt. It is imperative for the healthcare provider or clinician know how to react when faced with this situation, as their role could have a lasting impact on those that have been left behind. PROBLEM There are so many people these days taking their own lives. According to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention an American commits suicide every 12.95 minutes, and more than 1.5 million lives are lost annually to suicide (afsp.org, 2014). With that many people...

...follow policy and procedure to the T, to avoid potential injustice against the employee and to reduce the possibility of lawsuits in the future. Dismissals and layoffs is a difficult time for employees and the company. I would need to help mangers figure out ways to cope with negative emotions that accompany layoff could have. I would propose three ways that a manager can cope with any negative emotions that may accompany an employee layoff. That would be communicate, Demonstrate continuing long-term interest in the careers of the survivors and last but not least Proactively address the negative effects of less staff but the same amount of work. Communication is key a lot of employees may be feeling angry, insecurity or survivor guilt allowing employees to feel this way and communicate their concerns is more productive. Employees want to know what will be happening to the company and themselves, especially whether they will they be laid off or not. The lack of communication...

...“littlun’s.” In short, Roger fits into the perfect time frame to be showing signs of a disorder known as “antisocial personality disorder.” Now antisocial personality disorder is nothing to be taken lightly as stressed in a report on the subject in Conditions & Procedures InBrief. The author, Laurie Rosenblum, MPH, lists a few symptoms such as, “repeated law breaking, repeated lying/deceitfulness, impulsiveness, irritability and aggression, disregard for safety of oneself or other, lack of guilt over hurting others, destruction of property, bullying or cruelty to animals and/or other humans,” and so much more! Overlooking such an extensive list, one cannot help but wonder if William Golding read these symptoms when designing the character of Roger. From jabbing a pig up the derrière to killing a fellow boy, Roger is just one character added to a bountiful list of villains suffering from antisocial personality disorder. The media loves associating this disorder with pure evil, and it’s easy to understand why. However, unlike PTSD, the...

...Abortion is one of the most controversial topics that faces society in today’s world. This controversial topic has caused many deaths and several heated arguments between the two separate parties of opinion. The arguments between pro-life and pro-choice supporters have been long and can be very violent. This argument will continue to go on for years, but based on your opinion there are legitimate arguments for both sides. It all depends on personal opinion whether or not each side can say with certainty that the other one is wrong. The two sides to abortion are pro-life and pro-choice, and this is an issue that politicians face in every election, and it plays a big role in how many citizens decide on who they are going to vote for in the election. The many court cases that involved abortion have influenced United States history in a big way. These court cases include: Stenberg v. Carhart, Roe v. Wade, and Planned Parenthood v. Casey. Abortion in the United States has been banned and legalized throughout the history of this country, and the interest groups involving this topic have had many heated arguments throughout the years, and continue to have them today. Abortion is the voluntary termination of a pregnancy, resulting in the death of the fetus or embryo (Gill). Abortion is a topic that has been around for a long time, and is something that has been debated in just about every society.

...Lambro Golloshi ENG 102 17 Prof. Tappin 4-23-2012 Lovely bones Critical Analysis Paper Losing a loved one can be such a difficult thing to accept. But what if you kept believing she was still there? Definitely not in body, but lingering in spirit. In The Lovely Bones, by Alice Sebold, we dive into the mind of Susie Salmon; a 14 year old, dead girl. When Susie Salmon is murdered on her way home from school, she leaves behind a family and friends who care deeply for her. As each person deals with her death, most of them deal with a large amount of survivor’s guilt. The two characters that seem to have the hardest time accepting Susie’s death and their own survival are Lindsey Salmon and Ruth Connors. Lindsey deals not only with the drama in her family’s personal lives, but she also must learn to live her life and enjoy the milestones that she reaches, even while acknowledging that Susie will never have those special moments. Ruth deals with Susie’s death by delving into the spirit world. Despite the fact that she did not know Susie Salmon very well during her life, the dead girl is the primary focus of Ruth’s life after the murder. The novel takes place over a period of eight years after Susie Salmon’s death. However, it is filled with flashback scenes where Susie remembers things in her life and the lives of her family and friends and which are inserted into the story. There is a mini prologue, which involves Susie’s memory of her father and the snow globe. This causes...

...A cancer diagnosis at any age can be devastating and scary, but when it is a child that is diagnosed the devastation is even more profound. The diagnosis is not just a diagnosis for the child; it is a diagnosis for the entire family. It will uniquely affect each member at the time of diagnosis, during the course of treatment, and during the survivorship phase and will have a direct effect on how they cope. Treatment for a childhood cancer can be much longer than that of an adult treatment plan and the lengthy road can take its toll on everyone. Often times the focus remains on the patient alone and the parents and siblings become casualties of the disease process. The diagnosis and treatment of children and adolescent with cancer has tremendous and lasting effects on an entire family. Overview of Pediatric Cancer Cancers of any kind during childhood are rare. Childhood cancer accounts for less than two percent of all cancers diagnosed each year. About 150 to 160 per 1,000,000 children or around 12,000 children in total will be diagnosed in any given year (Abrams & Kurtz, 2011). The most common form of pediatric cancer is leukemia and more specifically acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) and central nervous system (CNS) tumors. Other tumor types include germ cell tumor, Hodgkin’s lymphoma, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, neuroblastoma, acute myeloid leukemia, Wilms tumor, osteosarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, thyroid carcinoma, melanoma, retinoblastoma and Ewing’s sarcoma (Abrams, et al. 2011)...

...The Sunflower is a first person account of a Jew living in a concentration camp during the Holocaust confronted with the question, when such an atrocity has been committed is it possible for a person to forgive? Throughout Simon flashes between the present in the concentration camp, back to his recent past, even further to his time as a youth. Selected to work outside of the camp one day Simon and others were marched through the town. Along the way he noticed a graveyard for Nazi soldiers and above each grave, a sunflower, had been planted. Upon seeing this, he experienced envy for the soldiers who were still connected to “the living world”(Wiesenthal, 1998, p. 14). Simon indicated his desensitization to death, but upon seeing the graves with flowers and knowing when he died, he would be placed in an unmarked grave with no flowers to tie him to this world, he felt bitterness along with a small hope that he “would come across them again; that they were a symbol with a special meaning”(Wiesenthal, 1998, p. 15). Arriving to the work site, Simon is approached by a nurse inquiring if he was Jewish. Acknowledging this, she took him to a room that had been transformed into a sickroom for Karl, a dying SS soldier. Karl’s story began with his youth and Catholic upbringing and he joined the Hitler Youth and SS willingly. He then gave his account of the crime he committed and was so desperately seeking forgiveness for. Simon listened silently to the murder of more Jews and walked...
