The contemporary world has seen the exponential rise of cancer prevalence in the aging population to somewhat alarming levels. This segment consists of individuals aged 65 years and above and is the fastest growing age group in the United States. Recent statistics indicate that one in every eight people in America aged 65 years, and above develops cancer, with women accounting for 58% of all cancer cases (Browner, n.d.). Since cancer risk increases with advancing age, the elderly account for 56% and 70% of all new cancer diagnoses and mortalities in the country (Browner, n.d.). The cancer burden in ...

Reflection

Reflection 1. How does living in a multicultural society impact mental health and its treatment? And how does this relate to the principles of community psychology you have learned about? Multicultural society is a positive consequence of the globalization of society as a whole. The fact is that every society has its own strict rules, values and prohibitions. And when the different cultures not only exist, but also live together, this has a positive effect on human thinking. In order to get people from different cultures live together, it is necessary teach them treat each other`s rules, values ...

Despite the fact that most modern societies are moving towards tolerance and inclusiveness, there are still categories of people who experience discrimination in one or several spheres of their lives. Homosexuals is a social group which is discriminated most fiercely. It seems that homosexuality has become a label which, once put on a person, means that this person is inferior to others in all possible respects, as if a mere presence of sexual attraction to people of the same sex somehow influences a person's moral or professional value. Nature gives choices, it is society that limits them. I regret ...

Introduction

The principle of individual moral relativism posits that what is ethically right is dependent on the moral norms of an individual or the society where such act is normally practiced. The notion behind this principle is that there is no definite way to define what is ethically right, because ethical values are relative to an individual or culture. For instance, what is considered to be ethically right in one culture may not receive the same treatment in another society. The difference in the perception of what is ethically right is attributed to the fact that culture differs across societies, ...

Introduction

Criminal justice administration is a challenging role since it determines the outcomes of operations conducted by any law enforcement agency. The decisions made by individuals in this role provide the infrastructure to prevent crime, uphold the law, serve and protect the people, and maintain the peace. The professional conduct of such administrators is often under threat due to undue pressure from local politicians, organized crime leadership, and even a Federal or State law enforcement agency. The chances for succumbing to pressure are high when ethics are lacking. Ethics influence the moral decisions that administrators make. Ethical behavior constitutes to ...

It has been embraced because of its effectiveness in building tolerance and cultural understanding between the community and criminal law agencies. Through community policing the public have now gained trust and ...

Femicide in the U.S. and Mexico Femicide in the U.S. and Mexico This paper seeks to focus on femicide and physical violence against women in both the US and Ciudad Juarez in Mexico. Femicide is the act of murdering women for the simple reason that they are of female gender (Koutsoyannis, 2011). Essentially, gender inequality is one of the most long-lived social, political, and economic struggles globally. The idea that women are lesser beings just because they are females is a primitive perspective in the contemporary world where liberty and civil rights have now come of age. As such, ...

The idea that slavery poisons socioeconomic development and, therefore, prosperity of enslaved nations has been cited and repeated in academic quarters so often that it has become a platitude, assuming the aura of conventional wisdom. Indeed, whereas slavery augmented the riches of the slave-trading states and supported the labor force of the states on the receiving end of this phenomenon, it had debilitating and far-reaching consequences for the enslaved states. Projecting these simple empirically-grounded assumptions onto the case of Ghana and other West African states, it appears that slavery deprived these societies of their most productive members, leaving a trail of ...

Question 1

Currently, alcoholism represents one of the widespread addictions. The long-term physiological effects of addiction to alcohol are characterized by the phenomena of tolerance and dependence. Tolerance occurs when a set of liver enzymes is produced after a prolonged drinking, which assist in metabolizing alcohol. As a result, alcohol is broken down faster and the person has to increase alcohol amounts in order to attain the same amount of intoxication. Tolerance is the most critical long-term physiological effects of addiction to alcohol. This is so because it produces a false sense of security in the people addicted to alcohol. This can lead to ...

Every day women face with some type of violence. Even though we live in a democratic society and the public seem to see women as equal members of the society in many parts of the world this is not the case.

In the paper issues that are not healthy for a stable relationships will be discusses.

Taking the hidden bias assessment strengthened my conviction that indeed, individuals have hidden biases. People, when asked racists and gender related questions tend to choose answers they believe are the best and most acceptable to others. This may be because they want to make the impression that they do not have biases or prejudice against the race of other person or that they want to show that they are pro gender equality. However, the truth maybe is that deep inside they do not really know themselves that much to such point that they don’t realize that actually they ...

Inadequate insulin secretion leads to a rise in blood glucose levels, which is the main characteristics of diabetes. By the time a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes (T2D) is made, 70 to 80% of beta cell mass loss is already done. Loss of beta cells of pancreas occurs gradually, beginning much before the diagnosis of diabetes is made and continuing even after that. For this reason, the damage becomes irreversible (Cnop, 2005).

The primary diagnoses in Jon’s case are substance-related and addictive disorders, but he should also be assessed for impulse-control disorders. Although Jon reported experimenting with hallucinogens, he does not use them frequently and did not report using them within the past 12 months, so the most appropriate diagnoses based on the information provided are severe alcohol use disorder (303.90 [F10.20]) and mild cannabis use disorder (305.10 [F12.10]). Substance use is often a consequence of another root disorder, so additional diagnoses have to be explored (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). The most appropriate diagnosis based on Jon’s background information would ...

The case chosen for discussion in this paper is that of Jason (38), a factory worker. After reading the case, the first thing we would want to know is whether Jason is an addict. There are two symptoms that must be looked for before an individual is determined to be an addict. These symptoms are (i) out of control behavior, and (ii) a behavior that is self destructive. If a person’s behavior is under their control, then the person should not be considered an addict. It doesn’t matter at what frequency the subject engages in an addictive behavior. What really matters ...

Introduction

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is distinguished by insulin resistance and a relative disorder in insulin secretion. The production and development of the disease is not completely understood and we find genetic factors as well as environmental factors affecting the insulin release. The disease is increasingly common and basically caused due to obesity and sedentary lifestyle. The chronic metabolic disorder affects both the insulin secretion and insulin action. It is the suppressed hepatic glucose production as well as lower insulin-mediated glucose uptake by the muscles that contribute equally to postprandial hyperglycemia.

The dominance of risk factors

Nearly 400 million people worldwide are affected by diabetes and ...

My understanding of diversity in the United States has undergone a tremendous amount of transformation in recent weeks and months compared to my own assumptions in the past. As a white person, I have understood a relatively significant amount of privilege in the United States as a result of my ethnicity – I do not experience discrimination on an everyday level like many do in minority communities. To that end, it takes me much more direct investigation and conscious exploration of American life and how it is lived to be cognizant of the systemic inequalities that occur in this nation. As I learn more ...

The USA is a Classless Society The myth of America is a classless society as identified by Karl Max can be supported by the elements of reality in the country. The ruling of the capitalist class in the American society prescribes the control and ownership of the class. Mark refers to this as means of production that mentions the factories, forms of transport and mines that produces goods and services. However, the working class does not control, or individual production means and sells their ability to labour for wages to pay for rent food and so on (Leondar-Wright & Yeskel, 2007). ...

Community oriented policing services or COPS developed as a response to public fears in the early 1990s of rampant crime and politicians promises to “put 100,000 officers” on the streets at a minimal cost (Roth & Ryan, 2000). At around the same time new research into policing methods began to question the traditional police approach to fighting crime. According to the research, simply putting out more patrols to respond to crimes after they happen was not enough to substantially decrease crime. Instead, the research argued police needed to attack the underlying issues that facilitate the occurrence of crime (Roth ...

Comprehending the effects of cultural disparities among the members of the project team is gaining prominence in the purview of project management. Given this era of heightened globalization, people are increasingly interacting with other people from different cultural backgrounds. Each organization has its unique culture, which is defined as

“A system of shared assumptions, values and beliefs, which governs how people behave in organizations” (Anbari et al., 2014, p. 2). The organizational culture has overly influenced the organization’s staff and dictated the manner in which they perform tasks. In other words, the organizational culture provides the ...

“Bribery and corruption in the public sector, is endemic and unavoidable in all societies.”

Introduction In 2012, the biggest stories of corruption were the allegation against Wal-Mart regarding the payment of bribes amounting to US$24 million in its Mexican operations (Barstow, 2012). A year before, in 2011, a survey was carried out by the Transparency International in 30 countries for their views on corruption. “The results found that 27 percent, or more than one in four businesspeople surveyed, think that they had lost business in the last 12 months due to bribery” (Hardoon, 2012). Corruption is a multifaceted event that involves a wide variety of actions taken by individuals. A simple definition of ...

Microbial nutrition is essential in the survival and growth of microorganisms. Talaro and Chess considers several factors which are key players in the survivability of microbes in order to adapt or “inhabit all parts of the biosphere.” Among these factors include nutrients, temperature, pH, water availability, atmospheric gases, light, pressure and other organisms inhabiting the earth. Nutrition in essence is that which chemical substance in the form of nutrients are ingested inside the body such that when assimilated leads to the formation of energy to be used for metabolic activities.

Organisms require organic forming compound elements such as ...

Introduction

Pain tolerance has been defined as the maximum level of pain that a person can undergo. For various reasons, pain tolerance is higher in man than in women, and it is speculated that this is because of the traditional need for display of masculinity by men while women tend to be more expressive of their pain and will thus most likely not withstand the same level physical pain as men. This paper seeks to develop an objective psychological test to be used for the measure of pain tolerance among different populations of interest, with particular focus on the pain tolerance ...

The Closing the Gap policy is a 2008 arrangement by the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) that aims to develop the living conditions of indigenous people within Australia. It is a policy aiming to reform standards of housing, health, and education among indigenous communities (Australian Government, 2012).

It bears the main objective of removing the problem of indigenous disadvantage by imposing efficient systems of service delivery to indigenous people with adequate funding. ...

Question 1: Discuss the relative use of nonverbal behaviours, such as salient periods, interruptions, facial gazing, and touching, by people from various cultural backgrounds. How does this behaviour affect the negotiation process in a cross-cultural context?

Nonverbal communication is an integral part of our communication. However, it is often ignored in the formal framework of business interactions especially by people from Western cultures. In a cross-cultural context this approach may be highly misleading, because people from different cultures give different weights to verbal vs. nonverbal communication. Thus, if Italians tend to express their emotions through gestures, Germans or Dutch emphasize more ...

Introduction

Communication is the process by which information is conveyed or transferred from a source to a recipient. The process usually involves conveying useful information between two parties (Berlo, 1960). Each of the communicating parties must have a way to understand the information. In communication, there is a medium by which the information is sent or encoded so as to ensure that both parties are conversant with the information exchange mode. In short, communication usually requires a common language for it to be effective. This means that a difference in language (language barrier) can cause a serious problem in communication (Berlo, 1960).

Culture can be generally defined ...

Question 1

Color-blindness is a concept that the author utilizes to help the reader understand the different racial, ethnic or cultural dimensions that can be ignored or abandoned in that respect in order to build a society of tolerance. While this is a good idea, I seem to have certain reservations about it. On one hand is the fact that each of us has a proud part of themselves, emanating from their historical or ancestral point. It is therefore not possible that we can avoid the issue of color, especially when it is used to express diversity. For instance a case of the NBA stars of ...
