Essays on Panic

It was a beautiful sunny day with white clouds sailing in the blue sky. I kept walking enjoying the breeze blowing in the face. Lost in my thoughts, I suddenly realized it was very dark and I was lost in forest so deep where I could not even see the stars. Apparently I walked into a dimensional portal that transported me into a different place. I am no longer in a dark forest but I was now floating in the middle of a galaxy. The short time that I could not see the stars was replaced with the most ...

The idea of moral panic is one of the many socialist ideologies that have been subject of discussions and critical research by social scholars and scientists over the years. Moral panic has had its fair share of all-inclusive definitions, but perhaps the most revered one by social researchers is Stanley Cohen’s (1972). He indulges us with the idea that moral panic is sort of like an idealized scar in society, an unsettling social occurrence that offsets the socio-cultural balance, often triggered by what he labels as folk devils. In simplistic terms, it is the feat of social unrest ...

Introduction

The financial crisis of 2007/9 was the worst in the U.S. since the Great Depression of the 1930s. It was the cause of the failure of some of the biggest financial institutions including Washington Mutual which was closed in 2008, and its assets transferred to JP Morgan. In 2008, the crisis reached its peak with loans dropping dramatically to the lowest levels to be witnessed in a half a century. For example, new loans to large borrowers fell by 47 percent in the fourth quarter of 2008 as compared to the previous quarter and by 79 percent relative to ...

BODY CAMERAS TO BENEFIT POLICE AND CITIZENS

There is a sustained perception by minority groups such as African-Americans that the law enforcement officers treat discriminately. This has increased incidences of police involvement against the demographics. However, the introduction and use of body cameras come as a panacea towards bringing to an end the unprecedented cases of police brutality and use of excessive force. In addition, civil suits concerning police brutality launched by African Americans are expected to reduce the involvement of body cameras. According to the H.Res.16, the wearing of body cameras by local law enforcement agencies while serving the communities encourages transparency and protects both ...

Elizabeth M. Armstrong and Ernest L. Abel are the authors of the essay on “Fetal Alcohol Syndrome: The Origins of a Moral Panic,” which seems to be more of an opinion/editorial piece. Information about Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) is provided through presentation of various studies that confirm the authors’ position on FAS being less severe than the way it has been reported (Armstrong & Abel, 2000). Armstrong and Abel clearly acknowledge the FAS is a real diagnosis, but they do not think that it warrants as much panic as what has been created through western medicine and society (Armstrong & Abel, ...

1. Jackson was remembered as one of the most popular presidents who did a lot to strengthen the US. Nevertheless in order to achieve this goal he used undemocratic methods of government. Jackson's presidency began with great success in the economy but war with the banks was a major issue of Jackson's presidency. He approved the transfer of government funds from the accounts of the Second Bank of the United States in more robust credit institutions. Second Bank actually reduced the amount of money in circulation, demanded to return of all loans and refused to issue new ones. Jackson’ ...

Her basic health beliefs and attitudes are expressed in the second part of the interview where she is talking about the suicide as a normal and ...

Can we hold that marvelous intimacy in a long-standing association? Reflect back to an occasion when we sensed truly close and linked with our associate — a moment when we sensed psychologically intimate with him/her. Feel about an instant when we sensed good-humored with our spouse, or a moment when humor surged without any hassle, or a time when we believed we could share with our colleague our innermost secret and it would be well received. We all crave for ...

The issue of moral panic is absolutely something that plagues the culture surrounding the contemporary criminal justice system. Judging from the ‘Superpredator’ scare of the 1990s, in which the media and criminal justice systems combined to create a moral panic over violent youth (often black) in the inner city, moral panics unfairly agitate the populace into making harsh decisions to address epidemics that may or may not truly exist to the extent they are being portrayed. While the video points out that the height of the super-predator scare has long past, its effects are still seen in things like ...

Depression among Young Individuals: Qualitative Data Analysis

Research Aim The current research aims at exploring the outcomes of depression among individuals. While this condition is well-known for a broad range of specialists and the public, it is very often misunderstood, misinterpreted, and individuals suffering from depression may be neglected due to the dissemination of this problem. At the same time, it is a well-known fact that the outcomes of depression can be severe. Numerous studies reported that depression may lead to minor issues, like low mood and irritability; yet, the untreated condition can cause sleep deprivation, heart attacks, social anxiety, and even suicide (Chase et al., ...

In his book Satanic Panic: The Creation of a Contemporary Legend sociologist Jeffrey S. Victor considers the issue connected with the panic in the American society connected with the existence of satanic cults. The author’s thesis is clear: he believes that satanic cults with all the terrors connected with them are non-existent: “None of these claims (is) supported by reliable evidence. My research suggests that they are baseless and misleading. Moreover, these claims exploit widespread fears, particularly the anxieties parents have about their children. The claims are significant, however, because they are themselves the symptoms of serious problems ...

CRITICAL REVIEW OF THE ROLE OF CRISIS IN INDUCING POLICY CHANGE

Introduction Most nations make policies after they enter serious crisis. There is a general notion that a critical problem requires a critical solution. Thus, nations that came under Nazi or Japanese attack in the eve of the Second World War declared a state of emergency and made sweeping changes to their national policies. These changes had far-reaching impacts on the functioning of the arms of governments and the entire nation had to suspend various activities to implement the policies in response to the crises. However, after World War II, significant events have been considered as turning points in national ...

Abstract Sexual aversion disorder is characterized by the presence of aversion and avoidance of making a genital contact with sexual partners. In the DSM-IV-TR, the characterization of the problem was extended by the inclusion of some of the features of phobias such as anxiety, fear, and disgust; thereby describing it as a phobia. However, the disorder was deleted during transition from DSM-IV-TR to DSM-5, probably due to the presence of scarce studies on the topic. Sexual aversion disorder is commonly found in women as compared to men, and it is commonly found in women in the ...

I learnt a lot about abnormal psychology from this module. I think the area that I found most interesting was the topic of anxiety disorders, as I know a number of people that suffer from a variety of different anxiety disorders and it was useful to understand more about them. For me, I felt that it was particularly important to learn more about panic attacks and what they are. Panic attacks can often be seen as a sign of weakness to the outside world, but reading the case study about how they actually feel really illuminated how scary and ...

INTRODUCTION

The United States and the then Soviet Socialist Republic, or USSR, had always had ideological differences underlining their relations. The US has always been the world’s champion of democratic ideals, while the USSR promoted the socialist ideology. In World War II, however, the two countries set aside their differences and formed an alliance with other countries to fight a common enemy: the Axis Powers that included Germany, Japan and Italy. The defeat of the Axis Powers resulted in power vacuums, which the two countries immediately tried to fill, thereby, resulting in a contest of superpowers. Suspicions of each ...

Introduction

In the field of social and psychological research, the development of research tools to measure phenomena by attributing quantitative values to them and developing them into continuous variables is a crucial part of data collection and understanding of the phenomena. The reliability and validity of the measuring instruments thus developed is of utmost importance in establishing the value and capability of the constructs. We all can relate to our personal or friends and peers’ childhood experiences of anxiety as a child. The children are more vulnerable as a result of anxiety situations as they have little or no idea ...

It was 4:32 in the afternoon, on a Tuesday, when it happened. At 4:31 one could look out their window and see the robotic assistants, called RA’s for short completing all of the basic everyday tasks that people once had to do for themselves. They cooked, cleaned, monitored children, maintained property. As the generations rolled by humanity placed more and more responsibility on the shoulders of the technology that they had created. Eventually, human beings had become sedintary creatures, more so than at any other point in history. The RA’s were now working on behalf of humans, ...

1) Which were the primary causes of the Great Depression? According to Walton and Rockoff, an acceptable explanation for the Great Depression has to distinguish between the initial forces, which brought a downturn in financial activity, and later events, that turned a downturn into a calamity. We can detect two issues on the economy that foreshadowed the real slump in economic activity. First, there was a decline in the construction industry that began 1925, that had a significant impact on the depression. Second, the agricultural sector suffered greatly, with falling world prices and massive indebtedness (422). Walton and Rockoff ...

The violence has become an internal part of our social life nowadays. We see it everywhere: we read about it, watch the news and our favorite series. The problem, however, is not in this, but in how we perceive such type of behavior. The scenes of murders, mockery, attacks and all the sorts of assaults we consume as an already usual thing. It always seems that these stories are so far away from you, on the other side of the screen, in written plots of producers and newsmakers. You feel so safe, sitting on your old brown sofa in ...

Diaphragmatic Breathing

Using diaphragmatic breathing technique, it is possible to prevent the panic attack. Diaphragmatic breathing is good to use when the anxiety is growing.

Giroux (1999) notes that the power structure created by Disney allows children to relinquish “their roles as critical subjects for the passive role of consuming subjects” (Giroux, 1999, p. 23). This desire to consume has caused many to see the necessity to consume media as pointed out by Dafna ...

The society has changed and crime is increased and good behavior reduced among the youths which is not good for civilization. The unity in the society is not anymore which caused writers such as O’Conner and Oates to write on the behavior of the current society. It is with no doubt that a good man is hard to find in the present society due to loss of trust and many young people having adopted bad lifestyles. This means that the arguments written by O’Connor and Oates are very good in giving the picture of what the society ...

This manual comprehensively explores the impact of natural disasters on students. While the capstone provides a general account of the issue, it later focuses on the country of Saudi Arabia. The information takes a clear look at different natural disasters and categorize them by their regions.

Introduction

Communication is one of the key players in the problem-solving techniques in major incidents and crisis. In the case of a crisis such as a disease outbreak, how communication is handled in spreading the information about the diseases to the general public as well as the pertinent medical official is very important in mitigating the aftermath. In this case, SARS was a contagious disease with very little information known (Coombs & Holladay, 2011). The medical officials, as well as the health organisations, were caught unaware with very little information concerning the diseases. As a result very little could be done, ...

William Gibson is the author of such notable works as Neuromancer and Pattern Recognition. He is thought to be the trailblazer for the so-called “cyberpunk” subgenre of science fiction. In his 1988 interview with Larry McCaffery, he spoke about the influences present in his writing, and how he started down his career as a writer. Before writing Neuromancer, he was relatively unknown, having only published six or so short-stories previously. Thus, Neuromancer was a “major imaginative leap forward for Gibson” (McCaffery & Gibson, 1988, p. 217). However, the thing that made Neuromancer stand out from the science fiction literature of ...

In Australia, in the recent years, the issue of crime committed by ethnic minorities and immigrants has been the subject of many media headlines and has greatly shaped policies, both domestic and international.

1. By “Moral Panic”, Steven Pinker means that nowadays many people in the world are certain that technological innovations will spoil, or even damage society. They think that, especially technologies such as the World Wide Web, will lead to a society that is interested in achieving nothing, and loses its culture. Those assumptions are often proven by wrong by scientific experiments. 2. Pinker offers some myths about the negative effects of new technologies, and the Web. For example, Pinker argues that many people accused video games of increasing violence among young people. However, during the 1990s, crime declined very ...

An individual suffering from a panic attack may react to the overpowering anxiety at home, in a car, or in a public place. Sometimes those around him do not even recognize what is happening. A recent posting on Facebook by Amber Smith brought international attention to the social stigma and presentation of a person suffering from panic attacks. The 22-year-old woman submitted photographs of her “normal” self and one taken immediately following an attack; the photos were accompanied by commentary on the way society reacts to her disorder (Appendix A). In an article by Today Healthy Living Newsletter, it ...

Avian influenza is highly pathogenic and has led to severe outbreaks in birds that are domesticated mostly in the Asian and Middle East region. There are several types of avian flu, but the most common ...

Energy drinks are a comparatively new phenomenon. They appeared on the market not so long ago, but have already managed to win popularity with consumers. Their target audience is young people – strong and healthy who want and, often, need to stay awake, alert, and active for longer hours.

Producers make packaging bright and attractive; they make the taste sweet and flavored in order to appeal to young people; and they stress the characteristics which can be luring to that age category. ...

A phobia is a very common condition that not always needs any treatment, but when it interferes with normal daily functioning of a person, it needs to be addressed by a professional, and in this case a person should seek appropriate treatment. A phobia is a fear or anxiety that has great strength, but does not have substantial reasons behind it, as the feared object or situations does not really pose great threat to a person experiencing such fear or anxiety (Mayo Clinic, 2014). Although sometimes a phobia is perceived as simply as strong fear, it is, in fact, ...

My life before I came to Christ

Before coming to Christ, I convinced myself that my spiritual life was acceptable if not perfect. I already knew the Ten Commandments and was keen to follow what was socially moral and avoid everything that could portray my person in a negative light. I cognitively accepted that I was a sinner and that through God's pure mercy and love, Jesus died on the cross and rose again to save humanity. Hence, I went to church every Sunday and made sure to give my offerings without fail. However, it was not until I turned fifteen that I accepted the truth ...

Over the years, there has been a controversy of racial status, and racial criminal involvement. Racism has been a huge factor that related to inequality, and victimization. The country has continued to be unbiased when crimes occur, and as to what race was involved in the crimes. The stereotyping of the racial class has been an issue for many decades. The intensity of race issues in the country has been on the rise due to media coverage of racial crimes. The judgment of society is solely based on the media and how it portrays the new coverage.

For this organizational plan, I would propose studying a bank/currency trading organization. The reason for this choice is that these organizations need many forms of security that are not solely physical forms of security. In establishing a new branch of “Bank A,” there are a plethora of security concerns for me to consider as a manager. What a manager would prospectively have to consider when implementing this kind of security plan for their organization is both physical and cyber threats to security. The reason for this is that Bank A is particularly vulnerable to both kind of threats pertaining ...
