...In order for a speech to be effective, the speaker must use rhetorical devices that can grab an audience’s attention and help them remember the speech forever. Ronald Reagan, John F. Kennedy, and Abraham Lincoln have made the most memorable speeches of all time because of the rhetorical devices they used. Reagan (“The Challenger”) used pathos, allusion, and parallelism. Kennedy (“Inaugural Address”) applied antithesis, parallelism, and anaphora. And Lincoln utilized allusion, anaphora, and epistrophe into his speech. Each of these speeches lasted anywhere from a minute to two hours. But in the end, length did not matter; the only thing that mattered is the rhetorical devices these president's used in order to get the nation to listen to them and therefore do what they are told. In Ronald Reagan’s “The Challenger” speech, he uses the rhetorical device pathos, or the appeal to emotion, in order to connect the pain that his family, the entire nation, and the families of those affected by the disaster were feeling. As WordPress.com said, “Reagan uses his delivery, use of dictation, and appeals to pathos to help attempt a nation to recover, eulogize seven men and women, and give a new home to the American people”. About his family and the entire nation, “Nancy and I are pained to the core by the tragedy of the Challenger[…]We know we share this pain with all of the people of our county.” (Reagan 1), and about the families of those in the disaster, “For the families of the seven,...

...To me, compulsive overeating is a disease where a person has no control over their food intake. It's a constant eating, a wanting for a more and more. You can't get enough, sort of like a junkie looking for the next high. That is my relationship with food. And I have no control. People that suffer from Compulsive Overeating have what can be labeled not only as an eating disorder, but also as an addiction and even more so as an illness. There are many reasons why people become addicted to food, many using eating as a way to cope with problems or stress in their lives. Eating can also help them conceal their emotions, to fill the emptiness that they feel inside. Food is used as a narcotic to not deal with their feelings or emotions. The tendency for people with this eating disorder is overweight because of the abnormal eating habits. People that do not suffer from the epidemic can and won’t empathize with the victims because of the common stereotypes, stereotype such as greed, gluttony or lack of disciple. Simple suggestions to a sufferer such as “Just slow down or go on a diet” are equally insulting as telling a person suffering from Anorexia to “eat something”. Not only are the words hurtful, but this disorder will negatively bleed into the body and causes health risks. A sufferer with this Compulsive Overeating disorder is prone to high blood-pressure and cholesterol, can develop kidney disease or kidney failure, arthritis, deterioration of the bones, strokes, heart attacks,...

Furthermore, increasing evidence is showing that obesity is really the result of the true disease, including eating disorders and food addictions. Obesity was not always a problem. Over the past decades obesity has become more of a worry to the common man than it was one hundred years ago. Some people believe that the consumption of calories twenty years ago is no more than the caloric consumption today. Someone who is addicted or hooked psychologically believes that they cannot function without this substance in their bodies because once they eat processed food they cannot take their eyes of it. Compulsive eaters crave and continue to eat those allergenic foods to which they are addicted...

...have severe anxiety when attempting to discard items such as Hoarders, Extreme Clutter, or Hoarding: Buried Alive. In a recent study The Relationship Between Self-Control Deficits and Hoarding: A Multimethod Investigation Across Three Samples (2012) which looked at self-control and hoarding and wanted to see if there was a significant relationship. The researchers looked at self-control from a resource model that was created from a theoretical framework (Timpano & Schmidt, 2013). Literature states that “Self control can be exhausted through physical, cognitive, and emotional mechanisms“ (Timpano & Schmidt , 2013, p. 13). Upon looking at self control, researchers also wanted to see if there is any relevance of self-control to compulsive hoarding. Prior to Timpano & Schmidt (2013) studied, there has been no study or literature that has explicitly investigated the relationship between self-control and hoarding. However, previous studies have seen that “individuals with hoarding often had the intent to tackle their saving and acquiring behaviors, yet lacked the necessary behavioral follow-through (Timpano & Schmidt, 2013). In other words, the findings demonstrated that there was a possibility that there was no self-control when trying to follow through. The study conducted three different studies ,which had three different purposes . The first purpose of...

I incorporate Jansson’s steps of, diagnosing the context to identify contextual constraints and opportunities, softening the context to make it more amenable to a specific policy initiative and lastly activating change to get a decision maker or legislator to put an issue on the agenda of the other decision makers in the agency, community or legislative setting. (Jansson, 2003, pp. 148-165). Diagnosing Context What is Hoarding and Squalor In May 2013, for the first time ‘Hoarding Disorder’ was defined, and included in a new chapter of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual-5 (DSM-5) on Obsessive-Compulsive and Related Disorders. Hoarding is regarded as abnormal (pathological) if there has been excessive collection of items such as clothing, newspapers, electrical appliances, food packaging (with many such items appearing to have little or no...

...ability to function,” Tolin says (Metcalf 1). Many individuals may keep things that they do not need; however, if they cannot live in their home securely or their living situation poses a danger to others, then it becomes a matter of concern. Hoarding, therefore, can be categorized by the persistent inability to desert or separate with possessions despite their actual value. Hoarding, however, although gaining some popularity through television shows, is still not respected as a serious disorder. Thus, although individuals may be aware of the hoarding disorder, they do not understand it, as well as knowing the symptoms and the treatments that take place. Before hoarding appeared in 1980 as one of nine diagnostic criteria for obsessive-compulsive personality disorder in DSM-II (Frost 5), the earliest reference to hoarding was written in a poem by Dante Aligheri’s in the 14th century, followed by other references in literature written by other authors such as Charles Dickens'. However, within the mid 20th century, psychologist William James theorized that one’s sense of self is a fusion between “me” and “mine.” (Frost 3). Based on this, psychologist Erich Fromm suggested one's acquisitions are a way for some individuals to speak to the world around them, as well as to express what is central to one’s character. Fromm's theory, a “hoarding orientation” was one of four types of a dysfunctional character. This orientation corresponded with a fundamental orientation to existence – “having...

...is most related to obsessive compulsive disorder due to the obsessive nature of the patient's need to keep and collect items (Nuncan 2017). Those diagnosed with depression also are found to have ‘compulsive collecting’. Potential Causes: There is not a definite cause for hoarding disorder, however research suggests that some characteristics can contribute to developing hoarding disorder. Extreme emotional connection to a type of item such as shoes can cause a person to hoard these items due to their emotional connection to them. Lack of organization can cause people to hoard items so that they ‘know’ where certain items are located. Demographics of Hoarding: A team of researchers found that about 15 percent of older adults with depression had "severe compulsive hoarding behaviors," while just 2 to 5 percent of non-depressed older adults are hoarders. Hoarding is most contributed to occur in people of age 65 and older as they are more likely to accumulate and store ‘precious’ items. Most hoarders live alone due to paranoia of others touching their things. In some instances, families live in a hoarded house and are forced to live in the hoarded conditions for the benefit of their loved one (Nuncan, 2017). Children are often victims of hoarding disorders but are more likely to attempt to stop hoarding...

...with discarding or departing with their possessions, regardless of the value of the items. People with this disorder get severe anxiety when attempting to throw out any item but tend to get overwhelmed about their possessions. For those who hoard, the quantity of their collected items sets them apart from other people. Hoarding ranges from moderate to extreme and in some cases, it can severely impair the functioning of your daily life. There is not much difference between anyone else as to why they keep the items. Most items have a sentimental value, it could be useful in the future, or the item is easy or attractive to look at. The causes of hoarding are still unknown but it is usually associated with obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (OCPD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and...

We estimated the prevalence and evaluated correlates of hoarding in 742 participants in the Hopkins Epidemiology of Personality Disorder Study. The prevalence of hoarding was nearly 4% (5.3%, weighted) and was greater in older than younger age groups, greater in men than women, and inversely related to household income. Hoarding was associated with alcohol dependence; paranoid, schizotypal, avoidant, and obsessive–compulsive personality disorder traits; insecurity from home break-ins and excessive physical discipline before 16 years of age; and parental psychopathology. These findings suggest that hoarding may be relatively prevalent and that alcohol dependence, personality disorder traits, and specific childhood adversities are associated with hoarding...

...can occur in a variety of psychiatric disorders and in the normal population, but are most commonly found in people with obsessive-compulsive disorder. Hoarding creates a lot of problems; both for the hoarder and those around them. One is just navigating through a congested obstacle course of stuff in a house becomes difficult. To get something requires searching through stacks of stuff. To put something away requires a nuisance of movement of all the stuff in the cramped area, as well as thinking and decisions on how to do it. Another problem is that there are no areas to do any real work such as counters, tables or workbenches. All this consumes a huge amount of time and energy of the people who live in such conditions. According to demographics, psychiatrists estimate between 2% and 5% of the adult population in the United States and Canada are compulsive hoarders. In North America alone, there are about 4000 cases of animal hoarding involving up to 250,000 reported animals. (Frey, 760) Researchers only began to study hoarding in the 1980s so it is possible that the actual rate of hoarding is higher than reported. This disorder is more common among older adults though it can typically begin in late childhood or adolescence and will become worse as the person grows older. There is no evidence that ethnicity or race is a factor in compulsive hoarding. Men are more likely than women to become hoarders but women typically begin hoarding at an earlier age. Hoarding disorder...

...Lukasz Giza Essay discussing causes of disorders for three selected case studies The case of Bess Obsessive compulsive disorder commonly referred to as OCD is an anxiety disorder; people who suffer from OCD act compulsively and have obsessive thoughts. The fear of contamination is most common type of OCD; it leads to compulsive cleaning rituals as fear of germs, or dirt is a frightening thought for OCD sufferers. OCD could be explained biologically and psychologically. Genes could be a factor that could expose one to OCD. It is thought of that OCD could be passed on genetically. Family studies are good source supporting this theory; the siblings, parents or children of OCD sufferer have 50% genes similar to the OCD sufferer. The risk of getting OCD is between 2-3%, if the percentage is bigger than 2-3% within the family members it is the suggested as an evidence for genetic influences. Close family members have 10-15% risk of developing OCD which stands as a strong evidence. Another study has concentrated on the twins both identical and fraternal. The twins that were studied where selected based on if one had definitely OCD and they looked if the other twin had it too. The results showed that the second twin had 53-87% risk of developing OCD. With the fraternal twins the risk was smaller at 23-43%. To fully understand OCD psychological factors that could trigger OCD need to be taken into consideration too. Regression to an anal stage is an example of psychodynamic explanation...

...Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a complex condition that involves unwanted distressing thoughts and compulsive rituals. Even though the DSM-5 doesn’t categorize OCD as an anxiety disorder, according to the American Psychiatric Association they define it as “an anxiety disorder in which time-people have recurring, unwanted thoughts, ideas or sensations (obsessions) that make them feel driven to do something repetitively (compulsions).” Obsessions and compulsions are time consuming and take up more than an hour a day or cause clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning. (5th ed., p. 129) This was present in the six British teens in the 2013 documentary “Extreme OCD Camp.” The British teens Jack, Josh, Imation, Libya, Andrew, and Meagan were plagued with a life of obsessions and compulsions. Each individual expressed unique but similar symptoms due to their OCD. A few of the unique symptoms Jack expressed due to his fear of germs were to wear gloves in public, not to use unsterilized cups, plates and utensils, avoid eating improper handled food and to not touch anything that wasn’t sterilized first. Josh has a symmetry disorder, if he touches something with one hand he has to do the same with the other. Imation is plagued by terrible thoughts of death, avoids certain foods, and has to tap everything she passes. Libya has a fear of contamination, being dirty and bad smells. Andrew avoids the number 13 and...

...Obsessive Compulsive Disorder What is OCD? OCD is an anxiety disorder where sufferers experience persistent and intrusive thoughts occurring as obsessions, compulsions or a combination of the two. Obsessions are things that people think about and can comprise of inappropriate ideas and visual images that aren’t based on reality, such as being convinced that there are germs everywhere. Compulsions are what people do as a result of those obsessions; they are an attempt to reduce distress or prevent feared events, though there is little chance of them doing so. Symptoms of OCD. Obsessive symptoms. Common obsessions include: * Contamination, eg by germs. * Fear of losing control, eg through impulses to hurt someone. * Perfectionism, eg fear of not being the best. * Religion, eg fear of being immoral.

...Washing hands until they're raw, lining up cans in alphabetical order, hoarding every newspaper you’ve ever bought: welcome to the bizarre world of obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). Watching Jack Nicholson in his Oscar-winning performance as Melvin Udall in the 1997 hit movie, As Good as it Gets, had millions of people chuckling at the eccentric and neurotic antics he portrayed. He negotiates his way through the streets of Manhattan painstakingly avoiding the cracks in the sidewalk. He washes his hands habitually and always with a new bar of soap, which he then immediately discards. He takes his own plastic cutlery to the same table of the same restaurant day in, day out for breakfast. Entertaining to many, but to the people who suffer similar symptoms of OCD, such behaviour is a blight on their lives and the lives of those closest to them. It interferes with their ability to function socially and occupationally because of the inordinate amount of time that is consumed by the symptoms: unwanted and recurring thoughts, feelings and sensations (the obsessive part), the irrational drive to do things (the compulsive part) and the severe anxiety that goes hand in hand with these symptoms. It is an extremely debilitating condition that produces fear, apprehension, agitation and torment. It is also far more prevalent than most people imagine. OCD is the fourth most commonly diagnosed mental disorder, estimated to affect between 2% and 3% of the adult population. ...
