Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is a condition that can affect children and adults. ADHD in children can cause trouble with focus, patience, and over activity. ADHD is the most common childhood disorder and usually appear early in life often between the ages of 3 and 6. Children that are diagnosed with ADHD usually have problems at home, school and in their social life. ADHD symptoms fall into three categories: inattentive, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. The American Academy of Pediatrics has guidelines to help diagnose ADHD. The child’s pediatrician may suggest a combination of medication and behavioral therapy as part of a total treatment. Education of the child’s family is an essential component of any treatment plan, which includes special education programs, psychological intervention and drug treatment. Diagnoses, treatment, keeping track of progress are the three phases of managing ADHD. Studies show that long-term treatment with a combination of medication and behavioral therapy is far superior to just medication treatment. ADHD has nothing to do with intelligence or talent. Many children with ADHD...

...Abstract In this research paper it famous and influential people were observed with Attention hyperactive disorder. With the use of the DSM IV our classroom text book and various internet resource this paper goes through the use of Ritalin and how people are commonly diagnosed with ADHD and do not have the disorder. Widespread use of medication and doctors immediately jump to prescribing medications such as Ritalin. Robert daydreamed so much that he was pulled out of school. Frank went into such trancelike dreams that one had to shout at him to bring him back. Equally problematic were Sam's restlessness and verbal diatribes. Virginia, too, demonstrated a tendency to talk on and on. Thomas experienced school problems, in part because of his high energy. Nick's tendency to act without thinking caused him to have several scrapes with death and near-tragedies, such as plunging to the earth from the roof of a barn, clutching an umbrella”. These are examples of situations that are common to many children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Children with ADHD tend to have creative and unique ways of thinking, and many problems focusing on one task, especially in school situations. Today children with this disorder are frequently prescribed medications to control their attention and/or hyperactivity. But are we doing what is in the best interest for children, or making it easier on the adults who have to deal with these children daily? In the previous stated...

...Quran is also perfect. The Sacred Texts Islam is represented by two main sacred texts: the Quran and Hadith. The Quran is the most sacred text, which is the literal word of God as revealed to Muhammad. The Quran means “reaction”, and is considered the holy word Islam. The Quran is considered a true account of the angel Gabriel’s dictation to Muhammad from 610 to 632 AD, and that is a perfect copy creating the Quran that has lived in eternal existence. The Hadith is the second text, which Muslims believe is the recorded sayings of Muhammad and his followers is. Although religiously significant, it differs from the Quran in the fact that it is not considered to be the word of Allah. The Festivals of Eid-ul-Fitr and Eid-ul-Adha Islam is celebrated in many ways, including three significant festivals called: 1) Idul-Fitr, celebrated in Shawwal, which in the Islamic calendar is the year’s tenth month....

...Religious Holiday In the morning of Friday 26/10/2012, I attended an Islamic holiday called Eid Aladha. At the end of an annual pilgrimage to Mecca, called Hajj, Muslims throughout the world celebrate the holiday of Eid al-Adha (Festival of Sacrifice). After prayers were over, we proceeded to eat a lamb that was sacrificed purposely for the festive. The meaning behind sacrificing is that you have a lamb and you have to kill it in an HALAL way meaning that the animal has to be killed so fast with no pain. I spent my first Islamic holiday in Syracuse and it was pretty interesting. Coming from an Islamic country, Saudi Arabia, I was very agitated to experience the holiday with non-Islam people not from Saudi Arabia and worse off could not speak Arabic the last holiday. I’m actually very happy that I tried something different this time round. I really wished my family were here so I can be able to see my dad and brothers sacrifice to God. However, I was with them through Skype the following early morning around 4 a.m. and was able to see things from a different perspective as they celebrated Eid al-Adha. All my siblings were so excited for the holiday because my grandfather was supervising what my uncle used to do; making sure that the sacrifice is done the Halal way. Then my father handed over the knife to my brother Mamdouh who sacrificed one lamb for my mother who passed away. When all this process was done, they gave much of meat away to poor people, neighbors and far family...

...The Islamic Religion The Islamic religion is growing rapidly every day. It has been estimated that 1.57 billion Muslims surround the world today (Greene, 2007). That is the second largest religion after Christianity at a 2.25 billion population (Greene, 2007). What is this growing religion called Islam and what does it take to become a true Muslim? Many questions arise about the Islamic religion as well as curiosity regarding the significance of major holy days, prayer, and most important what Muslims believe. “Submission to the will of God,” is what Islam can be defined as (Robinson, 2007). A person choosing to believe and submit himself or herself to the Islamic religion is called a Muslim. When a Muslim decides to commit to the Islamic religion, they are choosing to believe in a God named Allah (Robinson, 2007). Allah is an Arabic word that means, “the one true God” (Robinson, 2007). It is believed by religious historians that the Islamic religion originated by the Prophet Muhammad in 622 CE; however, most Islamic followers believe Muhammad was not born when Islam was created. In the Qur’an it states, “There is no god but God; Muhammad is the messenger of God” (Robinson, 2007). Allah chose the Prophet Muhammad to be his messenger, and spread his teachings from the Qur’an to any Muslims who wanted to convert, or to learn about the Islamic religion (Robinson, 2007). Allah wanted Muhammad to distribute his knowledge far and wide around the world. The Qur’an is the...
