The objective of the study was based on the need to identity how these early influences in life lead the individual to subsequent use and abuse ...

Overall score

After completing the game, I obtained and overall A grade for this case study.Decision This case presents a scenario of a unit that is faced with the dilemma of under staffed registered nurses. Even so, it would not be necessary to request and get approval from the CNO for one nurse to extend their working hours. Registered nurses are expected to have adequate time of rest; hence, making a nurse to work overtime would be subjecting them to the possibility of fatigues, which could hinder them in delivering their nursing care duties (Butts, & Rich, 2014). In this case, the ...

Abstract

Juvenile delinquency is one of the most pressing issues that any society can face. There are certain risk and protective factors that influence children's disposition toward criminal behavior. These factors can be grouped into community, individual, and social categories. Each of these three categories contain certain risks that can contribute to a child's tendency to engage in delinquent activities. Schools, families, and other communities have a responsibility to try and protect the youngest and most vulnerable members of our society from being exposed to these factors. By doing so, we can address the problem at its root and curb ...

In a Clinical Substance Abuse Setting

In a Clinical Substance Abuse Setting Erik Erikson’s psychosocial theory of development sought to explain the way personality develops. Like Freud, Erikson was certain childhood events shape adult personality. Unlike Freud, however, Erikson argued that development continues throughout the lifespan (Miller, 1983). Working on the foundation laid by Freud, Erikson developed the stage theory wherein the lifespan was divided into eight stages beginning at birth and continuing through late adulthood. Erikson theorized that each stage was defined by a “psychosocial crisis” (Weiten, 2005, p. 302). The first five stages occur through the lifespan through puberty. Each stage must ...

Leibniz and Malebranche were very famous philosophers who lived and worked in 17th -18th centuries. Both of them were prominent thinkers whose minds influenced a lot of people after them.

Of course, the birth of it goes back to ancient Greece and Rome, but Leibniz and Malebranche were those who developed the ideas of the distant past. They both concentrated on how the role of the divine was important in the flow of life. Such teachings were ...

This model was a revolutionary in the in that it helped understand the organization of the planets, the sun, and earth (Cunningham 89). The belief had been in use for up to one hundred years when the ...

A myriad of factors can be attributed to drug dependence and substance abuse including genetics, psychological and social factors. Genetic studies associate alcohol and drug dependence to the interaction of genes to the environment.

Psychological factors such as reduction of stress and tension, increase of sex drive and, increase of violent behavior can also be attributed to the use of alcohol and drugs. Social and cultural factors including access to substance, family dynamics, social support, and advertisements also influences ...

ABSTRACT

This study was mainly focused on repeating what other studies have done in the past; to understand the relationship between marijuana and schizophrenia. The literature suggested that there was not enough research on the topic in terms of finding out the root cause of patients taking marijuana, even if they had medication. What was discovered in the literature was also the theory that there were other contributing outside factors such as genetics and family history. Patients that were also mentally healthy were having the same effects when taking marijuana. What the literature also spoke about was distinguishing between actual ...

Since ancient times, thanks to the social needs a person had to distinguish and take into account individual psychological characteristics of people. Even then, people began to think about the existence of a spiritual principle, which has guided their behavior. Psychology, as a special scientific discipline, was born in the depths of philosophy, and so the psychological "dimension" of identity is very difficult to identify and explore not focusing on the philosophical doctrine of man, the specifics of its existence (individual and public), about the nature of human consciousness and activity. The formation of psychology as a science has ...

In today's political climate, much discussion centers around the facts of marijuana policy in national discussions and debates.

On the other side of the fence are the social policy wonks who argue continuously over marijuana policy and its legal status in contemporary American jurisprudence. Marijuana legalization discussions are not simply a question of whether the law should permit the use and possession of marijuana (however, this is one ...

One of the most significant issues in the U.S. today is the systemic policies that have led to the U.S. having the largest prison population in the world. A disproportionate number of socioeconomically marginalized citizens are incarcerated and subjected to discriminatory practices by law enforcement and the justice department. The consequences are wide-reaching and inseparable, cutting across political, social, and cultural lines. In order to identify the roots of these interconnected phenomena, one needs to both understand the historical struggle of marginalized groups in the U.S. as well as follow the money. Socioeconomic discrimination, voter suppression, for-profit policing practices, ...

ATTENTION GETTER: Author Thomas Dekker once said that “sleep is that golden chain that ties health and our bodies together” (“Thomas Dekker”).

In a research, completed in 2008, the authors concluded that “enterprises [often] fail at execution because they go straight to structural reorganizations and neglect the most powerful drivers of effectiveness – decision rights and information flow.” (Martin, K., Neilson, ...

It is difficult to measure the positive or negative effects of emotional development because for one, young people can only show us physiological differences and for two, many of the psycho-social influences do not manifest themselves until later in life and are then also conglomerations of one another and thereby makes it very difficult to realistically pinpoint causal mechanisms. What is needed however, is to then mark what is a common desire for individuals and parents to have in others and children. Ultimately, maturity is a sufficient umbrella term that could serve as an effective mark, but currently, modern ...

Often, once is enough to create an addiction that can lead to a harmful path of drug abuse leading to addiction. Heroin is one of the most addictive drugs ...

Debates concerning the use of marijuana as a medicinal treatment have been ongoing for decades, and have sparked more than a few concerns that have to do with its applications. Those who argue for the use of the drug are typically of the mind that marijuana does far more good than harm, citing research that leans more towards the benefits stemming from its use a pain reliever. On the other side, those who argue vehemently against the drug do so for the same reason, bringing up studies and, at times, propaganda that incites viewers to realize just what cost ...

Executive Summary

While the allocation of tax dollars is a constant debate amongst Americans, regardless of legislative positions, the issue of welfare seems to be a particularly complicated one. To that end, many states (including yours) have instituted (or tried to institute) laws requiring welfare recipients to undergo mandatory drug tests. While this is an admirable idea in concept, the social and economic effects far outweigh any sense of moral righteousness one might feel for keeping welfare recipients in their place, as well as deals with unconstitutional ideas of unreasonable searches. To that end, I humbly propose that these programs be ...

Vocabulary lists record that a family is "a group consisting of parents and children living together in a household." Families contain several different people related in specific ways, including father, mother, and children.  This view extends to include step relations, in-laws, grandparents, and other relatives.

In literature, there are various definitions of a family.  The basic definition is founded on the significance of human reproduction and underscores that children need parenting for quite a long time. Functional theories evaluate the value of accomplishing roles by families. But if family roles are abandoned, a family is referred to as a dysfunctional family.  Another view of the ...
