...The Origins of the Korean War a) Read the sources and answer the questions which follow: Source A “According to Stalin, one reason contributing to the Soviet Union’s new stance was the dishonest, perfidious and arrogant behaviour of the United States in Europe, the Balkans, the Middle East and especially its decision to form NATO. According to Stalin, ‘America was no longer a partner, but an adversary, and the Soviet Union could not bind itself any longer to agreements with [such] an adversary’. Another reason was the ‘aggressive designs of the South Koreans.’ As Stalin concluded, ‘the South was determined to launch an attack on the North sooner or later and it was important to forestall this aggression’.” Russian journalist summarizes Stalin’s conversations with Kim Il Sung at the Kremlin in April 1950. Source B Rather, it appears that Stalin manoeuvred Mao into a position in which the latter could hardly resist Kim’s plan or avoid coming to the aid of North Korea if it ran into difficulty with the Americans. Not only had Stalin recently granted Mao his wish for a new treaty, but Mao needed continued Soviet air and naval assistance in executing his plan to seize Taiwan, and Kim had assisted him with Korean troops in the Chinese civil war. [Stalin] also saw advantages in stepped-up Communist pressure in other parts of East Asia. Stalin had run into difficulties in Europe, where the Americans had drawn a clear line with the Greek-Turkish aid program, the...

...both English and Finnish. He was stable on a fortnightly Risperdal Consta depot injection but continues to experience distressing auditory hallucinations. Juho currently struggles with self-care, not showering or eating properly. He has also been sleeping outside on the park bench, as well as diving into cold ponds. Juho also feels unsafe at home, and sees the ducks around the pond as better company. Juho also feels alcohol is a better alternative to his antipsychotic medication. Juho has a history of assaulting other people, which may be related to his paranoia. He is currently on an order under the Mental Health Act to take his depot. Currently, his mental health case manager noticed physical injuries, but Juho refused medical attention. Section 2: Introduction In this paper we look at Juho, a 45 year old male suffering from chronic paranoid schizophrenia. Juho’s case study presents unique challenges for a mental health nurse in addressing auditory hallucinations, poor self-care, history of assaults and paranoia. Taking a safe, holistic and recovery-oriented approach, a plan of care needs to be created that combines Juho’s mental health and his cultural background, finding a culturally appropriate plan of care that’s evidence-based and respects his autonomy. This paper begins by looking into the specific needs of Juho in all his domains, and then looking at the impacts of these unmet. We then assess potential risk factors that could be applicable to Juho. Following this, the...

...Describing Gang Membership: An Examination of Youth Gangs Kiara C. Ross Georgia Gwinnett College Introduction Numerous studies have been conducted on the subject of youth in gangs and the many characteristics of a member or a nonmember. In this paper I will discuss what is considered a member of a youth gang, a nonmember and anything else in between. I have read three articles and I will compare and contrast each of their findings in detail. Article 1 The first article that I will be discussing was an in depth study done on youth in Canada. This article focused on “the frequency and stability of gang membership, family characteristics, concurrent behaviors, friendships, and school attitudes of stable and unstable gang members and non-gang members in childhood and early adolescence” (Craig, Vitaro, Gagnon, and Timblay, 2002 pg. 53). It also “examined the stability of belonging to a gang in early adolescence, the behavior profiles, family characteristics, and friendships of non-gang and gang members” (Craig et al. 2002 pg. 53). Craig et al. explained that there were three models that were used to understand the “relationship between gang membership and delinquency” which were the selection model, the social facilitation model, and the enhancement model. According to Craig et al.: A selection model is consistent with social control theory and the propensity theory of crime. According to this model, gangs recruit individuals who are already delinquent or have a propensity...

...As stated by Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders American Psychiatric Associate. (2014), “similar to the risk generally observed for all substance use disorder, opioid use disorder is associated with a heightened risk for suicide attempts and completed suicides”. The assessments that were given showed that Marifel was at a high risk of suicide, the family showed a history of drug addiction (based on the genogram), and Marifel was willing to accept and accomplish the therapy based on her PTSD that was determined, drug abuse, and suicide. A diagnosis concerning the mental state could not be evaluated based on the information that was given however, there is the suspicion that a mental health disorder could be given. This will be accomplished after the client has had further evaluation from other health care persons. This will be performed on the client because there may have been a possible brain injury or biological disorder that has developed in the client. Peoples whose brains do not function properly often show problems in psychological functioning (Lewis, T. F. 2014). Furthermore, other problems that...
