Abstract

It is held that women react faster to hearing than men. Evidence also existed that suggested that hearing loss that was related to age differed between women and men. While men are said to be more likely to suffer hearing loss than women. When it comes to environmental factors, women on the other hand are more likely to suffer hearing loss than men as a result of advanced age. Studies have been conducted to show that there exist differences in hearing as far as sound ranges were concerned. This theory was, therefore, attributable to hormonal differences between women and men. ...

The elderly population, beyond the age of 65 has tremendously increased, and current projections indicate that this population will continually increase in the coming years. The healthcare settings have not gone free of these changing demographics, and there has been a need to develop policies that cut across all healthcare settings to facilitate quality care for the aging population (Bennett & Flaherty-Robb, 2003). Different literatures have addressed the issue of care for the elderly population in various ways. While many recommendations exist at technical level, the primary idea is that the healthcare sector needs to adopt policies that facilitate quality ...

Studies propose that although higher education is expensive, students who complete this level of education are found to be healthier earning a good salary as compared to high school graduates. Moreover, these individuals make the life of their offspring quite easier and are seen to be more productive at workplace. Due to a higher education degree, these individuals rely less on government funds and benefits. In other words, as compared to those individuals who receive a two-year associate/certificate degree, students having completed four years of college enjoy a better status, lifestyle and earn more (Kathleen, 2002). For this purpose, higher education does not ...

Introduction

Children’s psychological effects of divorce seem devastating, and most divorcing couples are totally oblivious of how much their private conflicts have lasting effects on their children’s psychology. Unfortunately, most parents do not stop to think of the consequences of treating their future ex-spouses inappropriately. In addition, they do not fathom their perpetual behavior of maligning them in the presence of their children. These adolescents or children undergo serious manipulation from their parents for financial, social, and personal reasons (Ogloff & Schuller, 2000). It is evident that children from divorced families have the imposition of psychological problem challenges than ...

Introduction

Beef is a significant source of proteins, and it is estimated that meat has 16.5 percent protein content (Chapter 9). Meat also has a considerable concentration of fats. Meat is an important source of proteins and fats, but it is unfortunate that excessive consumption of meat and meat products leads to the development of cardiovascular diseases owing to the presence of trans-fatty acids in those products. Dieticians worldwide are recommending that people should reduce the consumption of trans-fatty acids, but increase their intake of essential fatty acids. Essential fatty acids are more beneficial than trans-fatty acids (Chapter 8). Previous studies have ...

Introduction

Low socioeconomic status (SES) has been considered one of the key determinants of criminal behavior. Family-level SES is usually determined by measuring income, education level, and occupation, but SES is a multilevel concept that applies to both family and community levels (Bradley & Corwyn, 2002). Families with low SES will more likely live in neighborhoods with low community-level SES, which limits the children’s educational opportunities and increases their exposure to violence (Bradley & Corwyn, 2002). Consequently, the children will identify themselves with the community and adopt its patterns of violent behavior.
The influence of both family-level and community-level SES is ...

The way that a person defines happiness for him or herself can be based on individual goals and values. This makes the examination of happiness difficult from a philosophical standpoint. Each person’s own definition of happiness makes it hard to measure what happiness is across a cross-section of people. What makes one person happy may not ...

It is interesting to note the presumed reason these people are suffering such a high level of diabetes is because they were forced into unhealthy lifestyle changes when the water they needed was diverted.

Earlier in the film, Henrietta Lopez states clearly, “water is our life.” Yet, no one ever discusses the simple and just solution of restoring the flow of water so these people could return to their healthy lifestyle.
