A Critique of “Sexual Dysfunction in Male Iraq and Afghanistan War Veterans: Association with Posttraumatic Stress Disorder and Other Combat-Related Mental Health Disorders: A Population-Based Cohort Study” (Breyer et al)
The emphasis on sex and the body that is embedded in our culture often leads to the degradation of this act into a merely organic event, disregarding its psychological aspects. Males are especially called to be sexually potent to an almost surreal level; nevertheless, this can be especially difficult to control while having a mental disease. “Sexual Dysfunction in Male Iraq and Afghanistan War Veterans: Association with Posttraumatic Stress Disorder ...

Carol Barkalow in her 1991 interview with Newsweek’s Ginny Carroll, titled “Women Have what it Takes,” delves into the age old debate over the involvement of women in the armed forces, more so in the United States military.

Program for Veterans With Posttraumatic Stress Disorder:

The overall topic of Bolten et al.’s research in Evaluating a Cognitive-Behavioral Group Treatment Program for Veterans With Posttraumatic Stress Disorder is to examine the effect of group therapy in treating military veterans suffering from Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

A study such as Bolten et al.’s can assist in giving direction for social workers in ...

Effects of Deployment to Military Families

The impact of military deployment ranges from physical to mental health issues that have psychological consequences for the service members as well as their close and extended families.
Following massive deployment after September 11, 2001, many researchers have examined the effects of military deployment on military personnel and veterans. About 30% of deployed soldiers have been diagnosed with psychological symptoms such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, sleeping disorders, hyper-vigilance, and depression (Everson and Figley, 2011).

This article review will critically evaluate Combat College: Cognitive Fatigue as a Challenge in Iraq and Afghanistan War Veterans with Traumatic Brain Injury: Pilot Study Survey Results that was written by Dan Smee, Sandra Buenrostro, Thomas Garrick, Shoba Sreenivasan and Linda E. Weinberger.

Sources of Sadism- Reading Response

This paper on Sadism is a disturbing look into human phycology. There are some aspects of man’s mind that we cannot explain or avoid dwelling into. Inhuman actions and words have long bothered us - be that of a common man or that of a soldier. They bother us because we try making sense of all our actions and wishing that we remain fair, understanding and humane all the time. But that’s not the case always. The American soldiers in Abu Ghraib have demonstrated in very clear terms that there is always a hidden, cruel side of human mind which cannot ...

VA Hospital

When considering the VA, many do not think about the technology behind the institution. By some it is considered run down and dreary, too behind the times to have the technology necessary to draw hackers out of their lairs. By others it is considered a medical stronghold for America’s soldiers. By those who work at the Veteran’s administration, they are aware that since 2009, 181 pieces of electronic medical equipment were infected with Malware, leaving them vulnerable to cyber attackers and hackers.
One may ask why a cyber attacker would target the Veteran’s administration, or what ...

The article by Mark Coppenger provides a counterargument to those who believe the golden rule means Christians cannot morally go to war. Stated as “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you”, it is logical to assume that no one wants to be killed. The author brings up several good points, noting that Christians can go to war out of love. More men and women have been killed in peace than in war, and if a Christian is fighting to overthrow a tyrant, is it not his moral, godly duty? If a soldier is pressed into ...

In his paper “Psychology as the Behaviorist Views It,” Watson (1913) points out what he believes to be the main issues of psychology as a growing science. Watson explains that psychology is concerned with the analysis of complex mental states and processes and reducing them to simple elements. An alternative approach includes taking several simple elements and constructing complex mental states from those elements. In both cases, the significance of external stimuli is often dismissed in studies, which also means no significance is attributed to behavioral data. That is why Watson argues that existing subject-matter in psychology should ...

Law enforcement is an inherently stressful profession. A law enforcement officer’s duty is to enforce the law, and to enforce it, the officer must face potentially harmful situations; where the officer is exposed to a number of foreseeable and unforeseeable situations, that the officer may or not be able to control. Potentially harmful situations are stressful on their own, but when the harm becomes real, the level of stress increases; and the officer witnesses, and sometimes experiences—and may be forced to cause—a great deal of harm.

In time, chronic stress may lead to serious physical and psychological consequences; ...

Summary

Because of the prevalence of spousal emotional abuse, especially on women, it is considered as a significant societal problem that must be faced. According to several researchers, such as Dutton, Painter, Sackett and Saunders, psychological abuse leads to “serious negative psychological outcomes for the abused partner” (as cited in Reed and Enright, 2006). These effects include depression, posttraumatic stress disorder, anxiety, learned helplessness, resentment, and low self-esteem. However, no kind of treatment has been empirically validated to be effective. One of the available treatments for the negative effects of spousal abuse is known as the forgiveness therapy. ...

Robert McNamara was the eight secretary of state for the US administration; he served under two presidents. Robert takes us through what transpired in the USA after world war two. The presence of the nuclear weapons was a threat to the US government in administering all kinds of war that it struck across Europe. The attacks at Tokyo, Japan are some of the main highlights of the application of the nuclear weapons. Plenty of civilians were killed as a result of a misguided war.
McNamara also takes us through the journey of how he moved from being the president of Ford ...

Analysis of "Lesser Evil" and "Lesser Evil is not Good Enough"

The Michael Ignatieff’s perception of democracy in the article “Lesser Evils “seems to be sophisticated and contradictory. “The Lesser Evil is Not Good Enough” a book review by Rabkin Jeremy on the other hand is confusing on the appropriate way to handle terrorists. The articles contradict the ideas and demonstrate a rational argument for doing the same. Terrorism in itself is wrong yet he advocates for a fair hearing and dialogue with terrorists. A summary and comprehensive analysis of the two articles will determine which of the two articles is weighty.

Summary of: The Lesser Evil Is Not Good

Michael Ignatieff argues that even liberal democracies must perpetrate evil ...

Wollstonecraft is more concerned with feminist issues whilst Kant is more concerned with ethical and spiritual issues especially due to the explanations regarding humanism and dignity.
2. How does Romanticism differ from the Enlightenment?

3. On what basis does Wollstonecraft argue that obedience is contrary to Virtue?

Article Review: "The Crimean Campaign"

In "The Crimean Campaign: Official Exposition of the Policy of the War," the authors of The New York Times presented an account of the events leading up to the Crimean War, as well as the policies that informed the way in which it was run. The authors create an account of an editorial on the Crimean War created by the Moniteur, a French publication, which is considered to be an authority on the French perspective on the Crimean War. As the French were undoubtedly part of the Allied forces fighting against the Russian invasion of the Ottoman Empire, their perspective ...

Ionized plasma devices such as neon lights and plasma TVs can not only sterilize water but also enable it to kill bacteria for nearly a week after treatment, (Science daily 2011). Plasma is ionized gas (atoms have reduced number of electrons). In water, ionized plasma reacts with oxygen to form Ozone (ionized oxygen) which destroys most viruses and nearly all bacteria. Expensive sterilization methods such as bleach and antibiotics hinder the provision of quality healthcare in developing countries. Devices able to ionize plasma hold the solution to cheap sterilizing for the developing world.

Use of ionized plasma reduces chances of ...
